When the wood cut in the forest farm grows in spring, it will use the river water to tie the wood into a raft and rush to the downstream. There is a railway downstream of the river, and a small locomotive, which is specially used to transport wood. The situation here is very similar to the "Japigou" described in the famous novel "The Snow Field of the Forest". "Japigou" is indeed in the northeast. The forest farm in Tuanshanzi also has a similar place name, called "Yellow Pizi Tomb". This place name sounds very mysterious, but even the old hunter like Yan Zi's father can't tell the origin of this place. It's just that there are many yellow skins nearby. Huang Daxian was very fierce in a long time ago, and no one mentioned it now. Yellow skins are a common name for weasels by the locals.

Although Tuanshanzi Forest Farm is simple and remote, socialist construction cannot be separated from it, so we have to come here to work in the wind and snow. But to be honest, the forest farm in winter has nothing serious to do. The only thing that needs cooking is to go to the lower reaches of the river to help send the last small train for transporting wood.

There is a row of wooden houses made of birch wood in this forest farm. In spring and summer, lumberjacks work here. Due to limited transportation capacity, there are too many trees to be cut, so whenever they complete the production task, they will leave the forest farm and go home for the New Year around the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, the forest farm will send people to take care of the nearest Ganggangyingzi.

Before we arrived, the forest farm was supervised by the old man who dabbled the mountain and his granddaughter, a girl named "Huamei". We should have replaced them back according to the arrangement of the village party secretary, but when we arrived, we found that something was wrong in the forest farm. The wooden house of the forest guard was empty, the ashes in the furnace were cold and there was no trace of heat, and we did not see the grandfather and grandson.

I couldn't help but worry for them, and hurriedly searched in the forest farm with my two companions, but there was still no trace. I felt more and more uneasy and said to the fat man and the swallow: "The weather is too cold this year, and there is no sign in advance. I am afraid that the wild beasts in the mountains will also drive the winter famine. Will the old man and his granddaughter be taken away by evil beasts such as lynxes?"

The hunting dogs in the village were all taken into the mountains by hunters, so we did not bring the hunting dogs. Now the wind and snow are mixed, and the ridges near Tuanshanzi are densely covered with dense forests, and the terrain is complex. Flying snow covers the traces of humans and beasts. Even if we have 100 people to look for, we may not be able to find them, let alone now we only have three people. Fatty and I were thinking about going back to the village to get reinforcements, but suddenly we suddenly realized that there was no one in the village to find them. At that time, we were still young and were helpless.

Swallow was still careful. She looked carefully in the cabin again. There was still some food and dried meat left in the house. The old man who knocked the mountain was not there and the hunting rifle of the old man who shook the mountain and the ox horn pot carrying the fire and iron sand were not there. Hunters were the best at checking clues. There was no animal trace in the cabin and the things were arranged neatly. They seemed to have made a lot of sticky cakes. No accidents should have happened. Maybe the old man who shook the mountain took her granddaughter to fight rabbits, or maybe he was worried that the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, so he went back to the village in advance before we could replace it. The old man in the mountain had been hunting for decades and had a lot of experience. Although he was old and not as good as before, since he was carrying the hunting rifle, as long as he didn't meet the mother bear who had just given birth to a cub halfway. There would be no accident.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the forest farm, the three of us felt a little relieved. We were hungry and cold all the way, and we were in great pain. At this time, we had to throw all the important things aside. The most urgent task was to keep warm and fill our stomachs. So we hurriedly burned the kang and roasted the frozen cakes on the wall of the furnace to fill our hunger. After eating, the three of us became dark and we started chatting and relieved our boredom as usual. We took turns to blow as usual. The fat man first talked about the anecdotes of suppressing bandits in the Northeast before liberation. He heard his father say these things. I have heard him tell them less than ten times. It was the first time that the swallow heard this story, so he was very fascinated.

The fat man flew everywhere and said, "The bandits who gathered to plunder people's wealth are also called "Hu bandits" or "Hu Zi" in the Northeast. It is said that the Hu bandits are different from the mainland's bandits. They have their own system. The ancestors they worshipped were "Mao Wenlong", the general of Pi Island in the late Ming Dynasty. After Yuan Chonghuan, the right deputy commander of the Ming Dynasty designed to kill Mao Wenlong, a large number of officers and soldiers under Mao Wenlong were respectively wandering in the coastal islands or mountains of the northeast. At the beginning, these people regarded themselves as Ming soldiers and did not engage in fighting and robbing. However, after a hundred years, as the personnel structure became increasingly complex, they gradually evolved into Hu bandits who harmed all sides. However, until before liberation, the Hu bandits still respected Mao Wenlong as their ancestor.

These "Hu bandits" were later called "cracks". According to the different "font sizes" reported by the bandit leaders of each stock, the names of each stock are different, such as "Yi Iron Whip", "Flying on Grass", "Sang Dadao", "Feng Shuangxia", etc.

Before the liberation, the number one Hu bandit in Northeast China was the bald man nicknamed "Zhehetian". When he was young, he was a monk in the temple and learned the hard skills of practicing copper and iron shirts. However, after he "returned to secular life", he never grew hair. "Zhehetian" was cruel and ruthless, and his hands were stained with the blood of cadres and the masses.

After Japan surrendered, the northeast carried out land reform. In order to protect the fruits of victory from being destroyed by bandits, the Eastern General Office established a special bandit suppression team. After a series of arduous and cruel battles, the "four beams and eight pillars" of the Hu bandits "covered the sky". The "four beams and eight pillars" are an organization name within the Hu bandits. Except for the "big cabinet" that is called "big cabinet", the other so-called "four beams" are "top beams", "corner beams", "welcome beams", "welcome beams", "ruthless beams", and "eight pillars" are "Jiqi", "hang line", "understanding the bureau", "passing the number", "general urging", "water phase", "horse number", and "account room". Once these people are finished, the whole strand will completely fall.

The most critical figure among the "four beams and eight pillars" is "Jiangjiao Liang", commonly known as "Mr. Tongsuan". He is the military advisor of the entire lance. He specializes in using some superstitious techniques to "push the eight gates" and decides the advance and retreat of the whole group of bandits. Once the military advisor finishes, he loses the backbone who is colluding with him and becomes a veritable bare commander. However, this person is really cunning. The squad can never catch him. He slips away from his nose several times. Some superstitious locals have rumored that this bandit leader saved Huang Daxian's life when he was young. Huang Daxian has protected him in this life and can borrow earth to escape. Even if he sends heavenly soldiers and generals, he can't catch him.

But there are clever things in the world. The most taboo thing about the bandits is to mention the word "death", but they can't hide from it without mentioning it. As the saying goes, "If you do evil yourself, you can't live." Perhaps "covering the sky" is full of evil, so he should be exhausted. That year, a rare "winter desertion" happened to occur in the mountains. The people called such an age "death year", and Huang Daxian finally couldn't cover him.
