Chapter 69 069: Night Mountain
The two brothers looked at each other. In fact, they also knew that two yuan was a bit much, but they just tried it. Seeing that Wang Tianxiao disagreed, he said, "How about one yuan and eight anise?"
Wang Tianxiao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'll give you sixty yuan a month, which is equivalent to two yuan a day. Round it up, what do you think?"
The two brothers were overjoyed.
Very satisfied with this price.
Their income from odd jobs is not high, and it is not very stable. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don’t. It’s hard to say how much they earn on a regular basis in a month.
Now that I suddenly have such a job that pays well, has good stability, and includes food and accommodation, I am not overjoyed, it is like pie falling from the sky.
They agreed immediately, and the other two envious employees of the supply and marketing center wanted to surrender immediately.
"Okay, then let's make an agreement. The two brothers will go back tonight to prepare their luggage and other things. After settling down at home, we will report here tomorrow. From now on, we will settle the money once a week to prevent you from running out of money. Every time
It’s only fifteen yuan, and I won’t pressure you for any money. What do you think?”
"Okay, okay, really good."
"Well, that's great."
The two brothers had never seen such a cheerful boss, nodding like a sleepy man.
"Then you go down the mountain quickly. It's getting late, and the driver must be tired of waiting."
"Goodbye, boss."
"Well, remember that tomorrow morning."
"Momada."
The two of them agreed in unison, then turned and left with the other two.
Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tiancheng stood on the ridge, watching the four masters leave with flashlights. Slowly, the light of the flashlights turned into two small circles, like a few stars falling on the ground.
"Let's tidy up the scene first. After finishing the tidying up, we will go down to the mountain to check the cages and see what we have harvested today. We were originally going to harvest during the day, but we have been busy until now and haven't found any time yet."
Wang Tianxiao withdrew his gaze and said to Wang Tiancheng.
"Brother Hao, what should I do?"
"You burn the kang for us. Burn all the six rooms in the middle. Be careful when opening the last door. There are two ocelots inside. Don't let them escape. They are not able to live alone now. If they escape outside, they will definitely die.
.”
"Know it."
Wang Tiancheng got busy immediately.
Wang Tianxiao also fed the fawn and the three dogs, helped the fawn clean up the room, and came out with a broom to clean up the mess left by the unloading of goods at the door.
When passing by the warehouse, he leaned in the crack of the door and looked inside. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he still nodded with satisfaction.
These seeds are the beginning of artemisia and dandelion, and they are also the beginning of him.
Now it is difficult for him to imagine how far it will develop in the future. He only knows that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the most important thing is to take the first step bravely.
Wang Tiancheng was over there soon. Wang Tianxiao asked Wang Tiancheng to carry a gun and take three dogs into the mountain along the mountain road in front of the door.
The three dogs had been locked up for two days, and they couldn't hold it in any longer. As soon as they were released, they ran around excitedly. Wang Tianxiao drank a few times before calling them back to him, but they still circled around the two of them excitedly.
The two of them searched for it one by one along the cloth cover, and the harvest was pretty good, after all, they hadn't been here for two days.
There are four pheasants and nine hares.
It's a pity that some of them are dying and they don't seem to live long.
Soon, they were down to the last point.
"Hurry up and go home quickly. It's almost past twelve o'clock."
Wang Tianxiao said to his younger brother, and at the same time wrapped the lapel of his coat tightly. It was almost the coldest time of the day, and the mountain breeze at night was blowing, making it especially cold.
"good."
Wang Tiancheng followed Wang Tianxiao closely.
He could feel the weight of the gun on his back, and imagined what it would be like to be a soldier next year.
It would be great if I could be as accurate with a gun as my brother.
"rustle."
The two stepped forward, making a rustling sound under their feet.
The last cage was placed under a burning pear tree.
Maohuo pear is a dialect, and it is also the name of a kind of fruit. Wang Tianxiao has never seen this kind of fruit in other places, which is very similar in shape to hawthorn, but slightly smaller than hawthorn.
In autumn, the Maohuo Pear will turn golden yellow. If there are many trees side by side, it will look like a blazing flame from a distance.
That’s why it’s called the Fire Pear.
Unlike hawthorn, Maohuo pear tastes very sweet and has a very good taste. It is one of the fruits that Wang Tianxiao and the others eat most often among the poor.
The Maohuo pears on the plains are usually eaten up quickly, but no one eats the Maohuo pears in the mountains. Every year the fruits bloom and slowly fall to the ground, gradually forming a thick layer of orange Maohuo pears.
Red mud.
This mud turns into fertilizer and continues to nourish the trees, so the trees will grow more vigorously and bear more fruits.
The cycle begins again and again.
In winter, there are many small animals that will look for the Maohuo pear fruits that are not completely rotten to eat, so Wang Tianxiao also built a cage here and put a lot of fresh Maohuo pears in it.
The cage is quite simple, just a single door. The door can be pushed open from the outside. Once inside, it is impossible to push it open again.
Still dozens of meters away from the cage, the dogs suddenly started barking.
Immediately, Wang Tianxiao also smelled a strong stench, which made him feel nauseous.
Wang Tiancheng also smelled the smell, hurriedly covered his nose, frowned and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what does it smell like?"
Wang Tianxiao shook his head and waved to his brother not to move forward.
He reached out and took the gun off his brother's shoulder, confirmed the condition of the gun, and was about to continue when he saw three dogs that were weaving from behind suddenly passed them and rushed directly to the front.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The dogs were very fast. Before Wang Tianxiao could stop, he saw them rushing forward and biting something.
He hurriedly shined a flashlight and saw three dogs and several small but strange animals biting together with the dogs.
That thing was much smaller than the smallest Dafeng, not much bigger than a civet cat, and weighed only a dozen kilograms at most.
They are a bit like small corgis, with very short limbs and the claws on the two front legs are longer than the back.
The hair on the body seems to be of different shades. Under the illumination of the flashlight, it appears gray and the specific color cannot be distinguished for a while.
But despite their small size, they are as tenacious as any ferocious beasts. The three little guys were so hard that the dogs couldn't get the upper hand for a while.
Their fighting method is very simple, that is, they lower their heads and hit the dogs like a bulldozer. Although the dogs are large and flexible and can avoid their attacks, they can't find a way to deal with them.
Along with the fight, the three little ones also made very unpleasant noises.
It was like the crazy roar of a castrated donkey without anesthesia. If the three guys weren't right in front of me at this moment, I would have thought there was a devil in the mountains.
"What is that thing, so fierce?"
Wang Tiancheng was stunned when he saw it.
