For Lin Youniang, who is used to being thrifty, it is so heartbreaking that she can't do it anymore if she loses a donkey.
Before, I was outside, I was afraid of embarrassing Yun Chao, so I kept holding back and not crying.
Now when Yun Chao mentioned the donkey, he could not bear it.
Tears were like pearls with broken threads, crackling down.
have to!
Yun Chao is most afraid of women crying, especially the little girl, who really doesn’t know how to coax her.
"Young mom, stop crying. I will go into the mountain tomorrow to avenge our donkey!"
When he heard that Yun Chao was going to go into the mountain to hunt bears, Lin Youniang immediately took back her tears: "Second brother, can we not avenge the donkey? Don't go into the mountain, can't they just stop crying?"
"Haha, little girl, don't worry, your second brother is not that easy to die..."
Lin Youniang covered Yun Chao's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up, you say slap, slap, slap..."
Yun Chao was so funny that he was so young. My brother’s past years!
...
The next day, because of what happened last night, Yun Chao's plan to avenge the donkey was vain.
Ahem, don’t get me wrong. It’s not that Yun Chao was overworked last night, but because it snowed last night.
Although the snow was not heavy and it only covered a thin layer, the traces left by the bear yesterday were completely invisible.
Looking at the silver-covered Beishan Mountain, Yun Chao was really unwilling to accept it. The longer the time, the fainter the traces left by the bear will be. Once the snow melts, it will be even less likely to be found.
"Uncle Qiao Qi, the snow has stopped now. I must go into the mountain to take a look. What if I can find that bear!"
Seeing that Yunchao had made up his mind, Uncle Qiao Qi had to agree to take everyone into the mountain.
In fact, he was not willing to give up. There were so many kids who could fight as helpers. He didn't dare to think about such an opportunity before. If he missed it this time, I don't know when I'll be able to hunt bears next time?
Hunting bears is different from hunting wild boars. Yun Chao dared not be careless and brought all the original kids with him at once.
Only the injured Erlangzi and Chen Jian were left behind, and the new boys were trained by the way.
The new boys also wanted to follow the mountain, but Yun Chao didn't agree, and Uncle Qiao Qi didn't agree.
If you have not been baptized by the battlefield, you will easily panic once you work with the bear face to face.
After a battle with the Hei Songling bandits, Yun Chao summarized a truth: the more people the better when fighting, the better.
Without enough training and morale, the more people there are, the more trouble it is.
Uncle Qiao Qi told Yun Chao that falling a little snow does not affect hunting, on the contrary, it is easier to catch prey.
However, it will take two or three days to snow. As soon as it snows, animals usually squint and are difficult to find.
Yun Chao didn't care. He didn't fight other animals, as long as he could find the bear.
Unfortunately, the traces left by the bear yesterday were covered by snow. Uncle Qiao Qi took everyone around the mountains for most of the day, but no clues were found.
When everyone came out of the mountains, they only carried about a dozen pheasants and hares.
Seeing a group of boys drooping their heads, Uncle Qiao Qi advised everyone not to be discouraged. It is not that easy to go to the mountains to hunt, and it is normal to return empty-handed.
Don’t think that hunters will gain every time they enter the mountain, as the hunters will get rich long ago.
It is normal to not be able to catch prey, and it is good luck to catch prey.
Especially for large wild beasts such as wolves and bears, the difficulty of hunting them is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine. Some hunters have never killed a wolf in their lifetime, let alone a bear!
With Uncle Qiao Qi's relief, the boys' mood improved a little.
However, Yun Chao could see that Uncle Qiao Qi himself was also very depressed, just comforting the young people.
When there was no one, Uncle Qiao Qi found Yun Chao: "Brother Chao, this won't work. Who knows if the bear has gone to sleep again? If it doesn't come out to move, it may not be necessary for us to look for a winter.
Can be found."
"What should I do? Did you give up like that?"
Uncle Qiao Qi gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind: "Brother Chao, I will go to Kuangshan Village tomorrow and find someone to borrow two dogs back!"
"good!"
Of course, Yun Chao would not object. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools and sharpen your knife and chop off your wood. If Uncle Qiao Qi could borrow two hunting dogs, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
...
The next day, Uncle Qiao Qi set out early in the morning.
Yun Chao wanted to send two kids to go with him, but Uncle Qiao Qi refused.
Although Uncle Qiao Qi is a little old, he likes to follow fashion. Before, he saw Yun Chao training with his men and a group of kids to skate. He was so curious that he learned it quickly after obtaining Yun Chao's consent.
This time when I went to the Kuoshan Village, Uncle Qiao Qi's skating skills came in handy. He wore the skates given to him by Yun Chao, and went down to Wolonggou and went far away in a blink of an eye.
Follow Wolonggou, go northeast through Sanshui Town, turn north, and you can slide to Shanghe Village.
From Shanghe Village, walk about five miles northwest to the Kuangshan Village.
The so-called Kuaishan Village is the Beishan Mountain, which is the same mountain as Wolong Village.
However, Wolong Village is located on the south side of Beishan, and Koshan Village is located on the east side of Beishan.
Unlike Wolong Village, Kaoshan Village is a real small mountain village, and the entire village is located in a valley in Beishan.
There are more hunters in the mountains and villages than in Wolong Village. By relying on farming alone, you can’t support so many people in the mountains and villages.
Uncle Qiao Qi is going quickly.
But he came back very slowly.
After waiting for the sky to get dark, Uncle Qiao Qi dragged his tired body to climb up from Wolonggou.
When he heard that Uncle Qiao Qi was back, Yun Chao took the initiative to greet him.
As soon as he saw Yun Chao, Uncle Qiao Qi lowered his head in shame.
"Brother Chao, I didn't borrow the dog."
"It's okay, Uncle Qiao Qi, are you tired? Let's have a meal first. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it when you're full!"
Uncle Qiao Qi was so moved. If it were Lai Zhicheng, it would be a matter of life or death. If you didn’t do the job well, you would be scolded!
While eating and drinking, Yun Chao also learned about the process of Uncle Qiao Qi's trip.
Although they are all hunters, the hunters in Kuoshan Village have never looked at the hunters in Wolong Village.
There is no way. In hunting, hunters from the mountain villages are indeed qualified to be proud.
Before, when Uncle Qiao Qi retired, he often had conflicts with the hunters in Kuaishan Village, and both sides were completely incompatible.
This time, Uncle Qiao Qi ran to someone else to borrow a dog, and the result was conceivable, it would be strange if someone could lend him a dog.
Not only did he not borrow a dog, Uncle Qiao Qi was also ridiculed by someone.
He said he was overestimated and was not honest even if he had one hand missing.
If you don’t rest well, you will have the face to go hunting in the mountains.
Send your death by yourself, don't implicate other people's dogs...
When Yun Chao heard that Uncle Qiao was so cowardly, how could Yun Chao stand by and watch? It was because he was so angry that he had to find this place for Uncle Qiao!
