There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhang Guoqing and his second brother had just cleaned up the backyard, when they saw Zhang's father coming over, they smiled at each other and winked, it was rare that his father got up late.

Father Zhang looked left and right, and then looked at the pigsty strangely, but there was still no one there, It's strange, why didn't your elder brother get up?

Zhang Guoqiang said with a smile: Brother got up, and there is nothing to do in the backyard. I guess I asked my sister-in-law to prepare breakfast and dry food, and I will go up the mountain later.

If you go to the mountains, can you still make it to the city today? Father Zhang hesitated and said. If you go to the mountains, can you still make it to the city today? Father Zhang hesitated and said.

Zhang Guoqiang waved his hand, and said helplessly: It was agreed a few days ago, but it can't be ignored. Just wait until we go to find out the way, and come back to do business after eight o'clock. Both of us have eaten well Alright, we'll go to their house as soon as possible after big brother eats.

Then let's go, everything is packed here, and it's fine. It's dawn now, so go and come back early. Father Zhang waved his hand to let them go, but he was still worried and went to see Chai. house, pigsty and chicken coop.

The three brothers, wearing old patched jackets, led Qingshan and the others to Daqingshan. The group avoided passers-by from a distance, and arrived at the foot of the mountain in a short while.

Zhang Guoqing looked around, there was a light snowfall last night, the road was not easy to walk, but it was really good for hunting. After discussing with everyone, he sorted out the tools. Zhang Guoqing walked west with everyone familiar with him.

As time passed, the sky became brighter. Animal footprints can also be seen clearly on the mountain. Several people divided into small teams and slowly searched for the dense forest. The pheasants on the road are stupid and can't fly high. A few ignored it, and walked to the creek as agreed.

Many surrounding trees turned yellow, and the weeds and vegetables on the roadside were old and withered. When the wind blows, the dead leaves on the tree also fall down. But the closer to the dense forest, the temperature is a little abnormal. Some mushrooms can also be seen in some corners. Dark fungus can be seen clinging to dead wood in dark and damp places. Wild rabbits and pheasants can be seen wandering around in the grass.

Zhang Qingshan looked in front of him and sighed again and again, Little Wu, you really know how to find a place. This area has not been discovered. Look at the temperature in this place. The wild rabbits can only be seen on the mountainside in the north. You can see pheasants and hares everywhere here. There are traps everywhere. Here, besides the prey, there are also mountain products that can be picked. Look at the wild fruits. Brothers posted, even if you don’t hit the big head, it’s just these things Not young or old.

Zhang Guoqing estimated that there should be hot springs nearby. He didn't plan to tell outsiders about it, and when he had time, he brought Zhou Jiao and the others over to have a look, maybe he could discover the secret.

At this moment, he was lying on the ground, listening quietly, but he didn't find any big animals, and then he stood up, I think we should go to the creek first, please keep your voice down. There are always animals drinking water by the creek. We sneaked in.

After finishing speaking, he first lifted a large bag of stones and loosened the opening so that he could throw it out at any time. As for the bow and arrow on his back, he didn't plan to use it because he didn't encounter any big prey.

Zhang Qingshan took the lead to take out the bow and arrow and let everyone get ready. After seeing that everyone was ready, he waved to Zhang Guoqing and signaled that he would wait for his arrangement. He knew that Xiao Wu had learned 10% of his grandfather's skills.

Zhang Guoqing divided everyone into three teams, spread out from left, middle and right respectively, and led everyone lightly to the creek not far in front.

Zhang Qingfeng is next to the boss Zhang Qingshan in the back. At this time, when he saw several wild deer and some animals drinking water at the creek not far away, he was about to speak out excitedly. Zhang Qingshan quickly covered his mouth, he had been paying attention to his cousin's behavior for a long time, he was worried that the other party would be reckless.

When he saw Zhang Guoqing gesturing with his hand in the left direction. After their middle target was the two ends, they nodded immediately. Facing the brothers around him, he tapped the bow and arrow with his hand, and gestured for his own deer, and the rest were their deer, and the others were random, depending on their luck.

Quietly wait for Zhang Qingya and others on the right to make arrangements. Everyone held back their excitement, and all drew their bows and arrows to prepare. After a while, when the signal came, everyone shot arrows quickly.

All of a sudden, the animals screamed by the stream, and the fallen wild deer startled other animals to rush here and there.

The Zhang family brothers on the left, middle and right shot arrows one after another and moved closer to the middle. Zhang Guoqing threw a stone in one hand at the wild animals that ran away, and then fell down.

Seven or eight people looked at the wild animals on the ground, hugged and cheered happily. Everyone didn't plan to chase the fleeing animals, and those who didn't look behind were stoned to death by Xiao Wu long ago.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Zhang Guoqing hurriedly arranged: Everyone, don't get excited. Let's move these things back first, so as not to wait for the bloody smell to usher in big things. Brother Qingshan, you make arrangements. I'll cut some branches to make a shelf and pull them back. Ignoring them after finishing speaking, I hurried to cut down the tree, and wrapped the rope to make a shelf.

Zhang Qingshan listened and looked at the wild things that fell on the ground, Everyone move the far away ones here first, and pile them together. When Xiaowu comes with a shelf, we will switch to lift. Qingya, you take two people to move first, Qingling and Qingyan have dealt with the bloody smell on the ground. There are six deer, three silly spores, and one goat. That’s enough. Let’s go back first. If you still want to come back, you have to wait a few days. If we run away from one end, it is estimated that our end is also extinct.

Zhang Qingfeng moved the wild deer not far away, and yelled: If I knew that hunting was so good, I would have followed Xiao Wu to hunt. Look at how much effort it saves. Lost, lost, why am I so stupid Woolen cloth?

Zhang Qingya rolled his eyes at him angrily, If it's so easy to fight, then there are wild animals in Daqingshan? This is what Xiao Wu has been looking for a long time ago. With such a dozen, it will take at least a month for wild animals to come. This Don’t talk about the land, we’ll come here to fight by ourselves in the future. It’s so good here, you can see wild fruits in the dense forest when it’s very cold, if people know about it, we’ll have nothing to do with it.”

I'm not stupid, Qingya, how about we set up a few traps?

No. If you don't set up traps, those wild animals will come to drink water. We keep them. With traps, there will be very few wild animals. These things are not as stupid as humans. Zhang Qingya shook his head, seeing that there is less bloody smell here Yes, I grabbed a few handfuls of herbs and went to the side.

Zhang Guoqing soon came back with two shelves on his shoulders, Brothers, hurry up and put all of them on top, you carry them away, and I will pick up the rest with a rope.

After everyone helped move the shelves, they all left in a hurry. Zhang Guoqing was carrying a wild deer on his back, holding the stones in the bag in his hand, and pressed behind. From time to time, he saw a pheasant and threw a stone over it. Seeing the wild eggs, I shook my head regretfully. There is no way to get them this time, so I can only come again next time.

After a while, there were five or six pheasants in the bamboo basket hanging on his shoulders. His Jiaojiao didn't like to dry wild animals, so this was specially made for Jiaojiao.

Not far from the foot of the outer mountain, Zhang Qingshan and the others hurriedly put down their airs and sat on the edge to rest their feet, they would be happy and didn't care about the fact that the snow on the ground would freeze before it melted.

Everyone saw that Zhang Guoqing was carrying the wild deer with ease, and there was a pile of pheasants in the bamboo basket, not even a hare.

Zhang Qingfeng opened his mouth wide, and pointed at the bamboo basket in bewilderment, Xiao Wu, you're not looking for females, are you? What about males? And rabbits?

Everyone laughed, and they all knew that Xiao Wu was thinking about his little daughter-in-law, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that they were all wild hens?

Zhang Qingshan laughed enough, and then asked Zhang Guoqing, Xiao Wu, is this the herd of deer here? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many of them. Look, there are three male deer. Do you know where those herds of wild boars are?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, Zhang Guoqing said amusedly: There are wild boars on the mountainside, but there are wolves on the side. There is also a group of monkeys that have not yet reached the mountain, and there are black bears in it. The monkeys are there. There are a lot of wild fruits, but there are wolves on the left, and there are black bears inside, so I dare not go. This one is far away from the other side, it is safer. If you want to have a tooth festival, go here. Don’t go to other places except for hunting in the village, too It's dangerous.

Zhang Qingfeng said regretfully: I thought I could catch wild boars by going up to the mountains with you a few more times. It's a pity, why don't you think this pack of wolves is leaving.

Animals in the mountains have natural laws. Big fish eat small fish, and they all have their own territory. You can see that wild boars dare not be far away from wolves, because there are monkeys and black bears on them, and they don't go deep into the mountains. There are big wild animals. More. This time, the three village men are strong enough to go up the mountain. Let’s just aim at the wild boar and black bear. Wolves and monkeys run away quickly. When they see so many people, they will definitely go deep into the mountains, but wild boars can’t. Black bears have hidden honey, so it’s winter My senses are sluggish and I can't run. Zhang Guoqing said with a smile.

Okay, it's time for us to go, what should we do with so many things? Zhang Qingyan said, looking at a pile of wild animals on the ground.

Zhang Qingshan looked at the wild game on the ground, Xiao Wu took us there, I shot one, Qing Ya also shot one, and Xiao Wu made up the rest. How about it, our family has a wild deer , and send the rest to my second uncle's house. After speaking, they all nodded in agreement except the three brothers Zhang Guoqing.

Zhang Guoqing said with a sullen face: Brothers look down on me, or something. The six deer just happen to be two in three families, and the number of males and females is easy to divide. There are also three spores, one in a family. Don't object, the rest of the goats Give it to me. I have too many goats, that’s all right, that’s it. Let’s take them back and let the uncles arrange whether they want to sell them. It’s best to sell them all, because everyone will go up the mountain tomorrow, so you’re afraid of lack of meat?”

After finishing speaking, the wild deer on his back led everyone to touch the foot of the North Mountain. He often walks this path, so he can enter directly through the back door of his house, saving himself the trouble of digging in.

After returning to Zhang Guoqing's house, he told everyone to put it in the backyard first, and then hurried to the main room.

Seeing Zhang Guoqing coming in, Father Zhang asked in surprise, You came back so soon? What did you do? What about your elder brother?

They're all back, and they're all in the backyard. I'm lucky today. There are a lot of wild animals by the stream, so we hunt around. We have two deer, one spore, and we have an extra goat. Let your mother see Do you want to sell it?

After finishing speaking, seeing that Xizi was about to run to the backyard, he hurriedly yelled, Xizi, don't run away yet. Go and let the grandpa and grandpa come over, just say that you have caught prey and wait for them to come, and yell softly.

I see, don't worry, uncle. Xizi nodded and took her younger brothers to look for someone outside.

Zhang Guoqing thought about it, and said to his father: Father, don't sell the goats, and keep the pots for washing in the winter. You and the eldest brother are busy, and my second brother and I will go to the county to do business first.

You go to business first. Leave the house to me and your elder brother. Your father-in-law and the others have already gone to the county seat. If you have anything to discuss with him. Father Zhang said as he walked towards the backyard.

Zhang Guoqing followed quickly, and said in a low voice: Father, I won't go to the backyard. You winked to let the second brother come out. I'll go wash up first. Seeing his father nodding, he turned around after seeing his father enter the backyard. Go inside the west wing.
