Since there was another power outage, everyone had to eat before the sun went down, otherwise they would have to light oil lamps or candles to eat.

Breeze blowing.

The summer evening is very cool, and it feels very comfortable and comfortable to sit in the courtyard. The guests did not come empty-handed, they brought some wine and tobacco leaves.

Now that I was full, I took out the big tobacco bag from my waist, pinched some shredded tobacco, put it in the smoke pot, compacted it, lit it, and started smoking.

Grandma was feeding some pig bones to the dog. Without hearing what Grandpa said, Grandpa asked again: "How much meat is left in the pot?"

"There are still about ten kilograms left. Is there anyone left to eat? Let's eat them all today." Grandma said with a smile.

"No, no, we are really full."

"Yes, the meat is even up to the throat."

"The pork stewed by my sister-in-law is so fragrant, haha."

Grandma smiled and said: "In addition to pork, there are also more than ten kilograms of ribs, and there is also rib soup."

Grandpa smiled and said: "They are all good things, but you can't throw them away. Let's share them with everyone."

"Okay, okay~"

The meat, bones, soup, etc. were divided among everyone, and everyone dispersed happily.

The next morning.

After breakfast, Wang Yuan came to his grandfather's house. Grandpa was not there, and only grandma was feeding chickens in the yard.

The early morning sun was not yet hot, but it was shining warmly on the face. People in the village who got up late were just cooking, and smoke was rising from their chimneys.

This small mountain village seems to have not yet fully awakened. The mist is floating and the village is very quiet. Only occasionally does someone's rooster scream at the top of his voice, "Cuckoo~~"

"Grandma, where is my grandpa?"

"Your grandfather went to weed the fields, are you going into the mountains?" Grandma saw that Wang Yuan was wearing leggings and there was a dagger stuck in the animal skin bag on the outside of his right leg.

"Yeah, I saw a group of flying dragons in the mountains before. I'll see if I can catch a few and bring them back to stew."

Wang Yuan ran into the house, took the shotgun directly from the north wall of the inner room, slung it over his shoulder, took some bullets from the drawer of the wooden cabinet, and then walked out.

"Be careful when going into the mountains. Are you going alone?"

"Mengzi, Huzi, come with me."

"Go early and come back early. You must be back before dark. There are too many wild animals in the mountains at night."

Grandma said with concern. Although she frowned slightly and looked worried, she did not stop him because for the men in the village, hunting was almost as necessary as planting crops.

Hunting can not only supplement meat, but some skins can also be made into clothes, boots, hats, and even sold for money to supplement household income.

In 1986, the winter in "Lindu" was extremely cold. If you could have a piece of animal skin clothing, I don't know how many people would be envious to death.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Grandma, please go back."

Wang Yuan left his grandma's house and called his cousins ​​Wang Meng and Wang Hu across the fence. He also took their two hunting dogs with him. Counting Wang Yuan and his big green wolf, there were three people and three dogs in an instant.

Standing at the door of his second uncle's house, Wang Yuan's eyes swept over the faces of his two cousins.

"It might be a bit dangerous to enter the mountains this time, you guys..."

"Danger? We are not afraid of danger." Cousin Wang Meng said with a smile.

"yes."

Cousin Wang Hu was carrying a large basket with a handaxe, rope, kettle and some vegetable cakes in it.

He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, are you going to fight that black bear?"

"Um?"

Wang Yuan was stunned.

Cousin Wang Hu smiled and said, "Hey, I've noticed it a long time ago. Your eyes changed after you saw that black bear last time."

Cousin Wang Meng also nodded, still carrying a bow and arrow.

"Okay, to be honest, I did go to hunt that black bear." Wang Yuan pondered and then said slowly:

"Our families are too poor and short of money, and a bear bile is worth hundreds of dollars! With these hundreds of dollars, each family will be much better off if we share it."

"Yeah, brother, you are right."

Wang Meng and Wang Hu's eyes shone.

In rural areas in 1986, money was spent in terms of "cents". A popsicle cost 1 to 3 cents, a sesame seed cake cost 1 to 2 cents, and a pound of vegetables cost 1 cent...

So let alone a few hundred yuan, even 100 yuan is an incredible amount of money!

Moreover, there were no 100-yuan banknotes in this era. The third set of RMB was still popular, and the largest note was the 10-yuan denomination.

Wang Yuan felt that the total cash in his family might not be enough for 100 yuan. There was no other way. It would be good if he could basically eat enough and not be hungry all the time, and still have some savings.

No, it's not that good. Looking at the whole country, it should be considered quite wealthy.

For example, the founder of JD.com went to college in 1992. When he was in college, the whole village had to pool money... That was 6 years later, and he should have been much richer than he was in 1986.

Seeing his two cousins' fighting spirit, Wang Yuan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

With the help of 2 cousins ​​and 3 dogs, if you encounter that black bear, you will most likely be able to hunt it down.

Three people and three dogs walked to the west, looking forward to the wonderful scene of hunting a bear along the way.

There are ruts made by oxcarts on the rural roads. There are many barnyardgrass and foxtail grass growing on both sides of the ruts. When you walk over, some grasshoppers jump away.

After walking more than a hundred meters.

Cousin Wang Meng suddenly whispered: "Brother, that guy Wang Shuai is following us."

"Um??"

Wang Yuan was startled and looked back, only to see Wang Shuai sneaking up 20 meters away.

The latter was too artificial. Instead of looking at Wang Yuan and the others openly, he deliberately looked at the farmland, and then occasionally glanced at Wang Yuan and the others secretly.

In an instant, Wang Yuan instinctively felt that Wang Shuai probably wanted to follow them into the mountains.

Standing in the middle of the dirt road, Wang Yuan frowned slightly and looked at the approaching Wang Shuai.

The air suddenly became quiet.

It seemed that he was uncomfortable being looked at. In addition, Wang Shuai was strong and had a bad temper, so he shouted directly: "What are you looking at?"

For a moment, Wang Yuan and the other three were stunned: "..."

Angry, Wang Yuan walked directly to Wang Shuai and shouted: "Not only will I look at you, I will also beat you!"

Wang Shuai was tall and tall and was not afraid of Wang Yuan, but the latter had two cousins ​​and three hunting dogs here, so Wang Shuai was instantly intimidated.

In line with the principle that a good man never suffers immediate losses, Wang Shuai ran back, and Wang Yuan ran after him.

"You little thing, don't run away! Don't you want me to stuff your head into my crotch!?"

"Wang Yuan'er, don't be arrogant! I'll ask my cousin to beat you!"

"Fuck your grandma's legs!"

Wang Yuan stopped running, picked up a large pile of garbage on the roadside and threw it over.

Whoosh~

The big brown rubbish drew an arc in the air and hit Wang Shuai accurately on his back. It spattered and hit the latter, who was thrown into a row and almost fell into the rice field on the roadside.

Seeing Wang Shuai running away in embarrassment, Wang Yuan, his cousin Wang Meng, and his cousin Wang Hu couldn't help laughing.

After driving away Wang Shuai.

Wang Yuan, three people and three dogs continued into the mountain.

…

In summer, the mountain forests are lush with vegetation, numerous birds, and the pine, birch, and oak trees are rustling.

There are also snakes, spiders, scorpions, etc. hidden in some hidden places.

The three of them were very strong on their feet, and soon they arrived at the place where the black bears they had seen before were walking. They stepped on the thick fallen leaves and heard a constant rustling sound.

"Look for signs of black bear activity! Quick!"

"good!"

"Be careful, there are not only venomous snakes in this mountain, but also many grass crawlers."

"understandable!"

The three people led the dogs and spread out to search, very seriously. After all, a bear bile is worth hundreds of dollars, which is equivalent to a person's salary for a year.

Grass crawlers, also called dog beans, are ticks that are 1 to 2 centimeters long, dark brown and oblate in shape. They can suck the blood of humans and animals.

A few minutes passed.

The big wolfdog suddenly yelled 30 meters away on the right.

"Woof woof woof~"

"I found something, hurry up!" Wang Yuan looked happy and ran over with his two cousins ​​and two hunting dogs. He saw a pit next to a big pine tree. The dry soil in the pit was very fine.

, and there are some bear hairs next to it.

The black bear fur is very hard.

It exudes the smell unique to black bears.

"Come on, smell it quickly."

Wang Yuan squatted next to the pit and placed the bunch of bear hair next to the noses of the three hunting dogs one by one to let them remember the smell of the black bear.

"Find that black blind man, and I'll stew bear meat for you then!"

"Suck~"

Under the expectant eyes of the three brothers, the three hounds sniffed the bear fur, just the big yellow dog and the big black dog. Their scent heads were not good and their sense of smell was not that sensitive.

The big wolfdog has the most sensitive sense of smell. He raised his head and smelled the smell in the air, walked around a few times, sniffed everywhere, and then ran directly to the west.

"Chasing, chasing, chasing! Hurry! Keep up!"

Wang Yuan was overjoyed and took the lead to chase the big wolf dog. His cousin and other hunting dogs quickly followed.
