Five roe deer, six or seven pounds of soaked corn, about half an hour after eating, the roe deer began to be attacked. The young roe deer simply couldn't get up, the three female roe deer were shaking their heads, and the male roe deer was drunk and banged his head.

People in Northeast China can drink, but the roe deer in Northeast China cannot. They can’t hold much alcohol and will get dizzy after a while.

Liu Xialian was delighted: "Okay, don't hurt the roe deer, tie it up and carry it to the carriage."

Daya went over and grabbed the male roe deer, which weighed about sixty or seventy kilograms. It was hard to tell the big from the small. The roe deer even used their horns to butt Daya. Daya grabbed the horns with both hands and struggled with the roe deer. With a snap, the two horns broke and the roe deer became bald.

Daya said: "Sister, this is not my fault, it's because its horns are too brittle."

"It's okay, just grab it, tie it up and take it away."

Five roe deer were loaded onto the carriage. This was a great harvest. Xu Xiong pointed at the bellies of the three female roe deer and said, "They look bulging. They should have cubs. Are they planning to raise them?"

Liu Xialian nodded: "Yes, in the 1950s, roe deer roe were in large groups, and wild wolf packs were even more terrifying. It was common to see wolf packs of one or two hundred. Now, there are only seven or eight wolves and five or six roe deer. What does this mean?"

Erya scratched her head: "It means, it means they don't like large groups anymore."

Xu Xiong said: "I think it's because there are more people and fewer wild animals."

"In ten or twenty years, we won't be allowed to hunt these animals, so we have to plan ahead and keep them alive so that we can eat the delicious roe deer meat. Otherwise, we can only drool at the sight of them."

The concept of animal protection is still unacceptable to everyone because it is too advanced. The current situation is that the village still often organizes hunting to increase everyone's income.

The five silly roe deer were not yet sober when they were brought back home. A fence of several dozen square meters next to the donkey shed in the backyard of the old house was their new home.

Roe deer are different from other species of deer. They are friendly to people and easy to raise. New little guys need to eat insects first, and then the grass is matched with grain and salt. Roe deer can be raised very well. These guys can tolerate roughage better than goats, are easy to fatten, and have strong disease resistance.

Guilan looked at the five roe deer and was a little surprised: "Oh my god, you are willing to take the trouble to raise roe deer. Most people would just go to the mountains with a stick and knock a few of them down."

"Just keep them, develop slowly, and gain experience. It takes time to turn roe deer into domestic animals."

It's really easy to raise this thing. Just feed it twice a day and fill the water tank with water. It's not any complicated operation, and the less you disturb it, the better.

Guilan is really hardworking. Originally, Liu Xialian cooked for everyone. Now that Guilan lives in the old house, she also cooks dinner.

I made wild boar meat stewed with cabbage and cornmeal pancakes, and Liu Xia Lian, Daya, Erya, and Xu Xiong all ate here.

Mother came in with a basket of radishes and pulled Liu Xialian aside as soon as she entered the door: "It's over. The news that you sold 100-year-old ginseng has spread throughout the village. Now everyone says you are a millionaire. It is said that someone went to the credit union to deposit money. The people at the credit union said so."

"Ah, just spread it. It's not a bad thing if it's not stolen or robbed."

However, the people in the credit union still had some professional ethics and did not elaborate, so the villagers only knew that Liu Xia Lian had made a fortune by digging up a ginseng and selling it for money, but they didn't know how much money she made. Some guessed 20,000, some guessed 10,000. No matter how much, everyone thought that Liu Xia Lian was the village's millionaire, richer than the village chief and his fourth brother.

Sure enough, when people have money, they are treated differently. As soon as it got dark, the village loudspeaker began calling a dozen people, including Liu Xia Lian, to attend a meeting.

As soon as Liu Xia Lian arrived at the village office, the village leaders looked at her differently.

The village chief said: "After a meeting in the village, it was decided to appoint you as the female militia captain of the village."

"Why is there still such a position?" Liu Xialian was also a little surprised. The militia had not been trained for many years. In recent years, the relationship with the United States has eased, and the tension with Russia is not so high. Only the Yue Xiaoba in southern Xinjiang is still making trouble.

"Yes, yes. We originally planned to make you the director of women's affairs, but you are not married yet, so it is not suitable."

The village chief explained: "The female militia captain is mainly responsible for the training and care of girls between the ages of 10 and 20. It's enough to do some training occasionally. If they encounter any difficulties, they will come to you to talk."

"Okay, I accept the organization's arrangement."

In fact, the village chief knew much more than ordinary villagers, so he was very polite to Liu Xia Lian.

Some team leaders even deliberately asked Liu Xialian: "How much did you sell that ginseng for?"

"Hey, it's not much money, just over 10,000 yuan. After a few people share it, there won't be much left."

The village chief glared and said, "Just listen to the story of digging a hundred-year-old ginseng. You don't have Liu Xialian's ability. If you don't have that kind of luck, don't force it. If anyone goes into the mountains and gets into trouble, I won't collect your bodies."

Collecting corpses is actually a good thing. Sometimes when you encounter a pack of wolves, you can find a few bones and rags.

Liu Xialian suggested, "A new official has three things to do when he takes office. As a new female militia captain, I have to do something. Village chief, how about this? Let's organize a training session tomorrow morning. Girls over 15 years old will walk to the forest farm together. I'll treat everyone to a movie at the forest farm, and we'll clean up the ice on the way there and back."

"That's so bad. It's a waste of money for you."

"I am a member of Lijiatun, and it is my duty to contribute something for the people of Lijiatun."

"Okay, I'll shout it out on the loudspeaker later."

In the evening, the village chief shouted three or four times on the loudspeaker that girls over the age of fifteen should bring shovels to participate in the training and walk to the forest farm, where a patriotic film viewing event would be arranged.

Mother said, "It's over. You'll see tomorrow. We'll need at least a hundred people. Hurry up and get ready. We need to arrange at least one carriage for logistics tomorrow morning, and prepare hot soup, cakes, and pickles."

"No, it's just a movie. Is it that serious? Running more than 20 miles to the forest farm in such a cold weather is not mandatory. How could there be so many people?"

"It wasn't so before, but it is now. Everyone in the village knows that you are the boss of Lao Li's Car Shop and Baishan Iron Pot Stew. Men want to work in the big car shops, women want to be waitresses in restaurants, and children love to watch movies."

"Okay, I'll prepare more."

Li Damei's bathtub was naturally not suitable for soup, so she borrowed a large ceramic urn from the village and cooked a large iron pot of pumpkin and corn porridge, filling a large wooden barrel. She also fried pickled radish strips in two large enamel basins.

Early in the morning, Liu Xia Lian, Daya and Erya drove a big black mule cart, while Li Hu and Xu Xiong drove a big blue horse carriage.

Although I was prepared, I was still shocked.

There were more than a hundred people, the youngest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest was thirty or forty years old. Ninety percent were girls, and there were about ten boys, all wearing big cotton shoes and old cotton jackets. Although their clothes were worn out, they were in very good spirits.
