The mountainous areas of the Daxinganling Mountains are busy during this season. Everyone goes hunting in the mountains with hunting dogs and shotguns. Although the government has repeatedly issued orders not to allow hunting in the mountains and to protect wild animals, these people who grow up in the mountains are originally the ones who rely on the mountains.
Eating mountains, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, their jobs became lumberjacks or forest rangers looking after the mountains, so those who are closest to the water first get the moon, and no one can control them.
Once they have hunted enough prey, the people in the village begin to wait for the arrival of the cold winter on the hot kang. The winter in the Daxingan Mountains is very cold. It snows almost every day. The entire mountain range is completely white. At the lowest temperature, people can
When it reaches -52.3c, people have to pee in batches when peeing, one rod at a time. If the urination takes too long, it may turn into an ice pillar. From
Especially in the mountains, no matter how thick your clothes are, as long as there is a white-haired wind blowing in the mountains, you will freeze to death inside. Once it snows, few people will leave their houses, so everyone uses this
It’s the season to hunt enough prey for the whole winter. Some readers may ask after seeing this, if that’s the case, why do you still come to this ghost place to play? Hehe, I mainly come here for the game.
Even if you have money, there is no place to buy it in the city.
I remember that when I came here last time, I heard my eldest uncle say: One winter, he and a young man named Erxiaozi from the village went to the forest farm to change shifts. Although the forest farm was only seven or eight miles away from the village, after a heavy snowfall,
The road is very difficult to walk, and every step is very difficult. Because after the snow falls in the Daxingan Mountains, the shallowest part is more than a foot deep. Almost every step you take will sink into the thigh, and then pull it out before taking another step. This way
Walking was extremely tiring, and after a while I was covered in sweat. Halfway through the walk, Erxiao started to act like a fool, sitting in the snow saying nothing and refusing to continue walking.
My eldest uncle said that although you wear thick clothes in winter, if you stop and don't walk after sweating, you will be covered in ice stubble as soon as the mountain wind hits you. My eldest uncle was also very young at the time and had nothing to do.
Experience, when the second boy refused to leave no matter how hard he was, he let him rest for a while. After a few minutes, when his eldest uncle called him, he found that his menstruation was frozen solid...
The first meal after arriving in Daxinganling was pheasant mushrooms cooked by my aunt. In fact, I never realized how delicious the pheasant was. The meat was made of wood, and it didn’t taste like domesticated food.
That little stupid chicken is delicious.
After Liu Li ate a little, she pestered me and asked me to take her out. She wanted to play in the surrounding forest area. My cousin saw that we were going out to play, so he didn't eat and wanted to take us to chase the pigs. He took it.
We were led out of the village with a very old single-barreled shotgun and a half-sized yellow dog.
He smiled and said to us as he walked: "My father took away our double-barreled shotgun, and Erhei also took it away. All we have left is this broken gun and this little guy." As he said this, my cousin took a photo of it lovingly.
Pat the yellow dog on the head. The yellow dog is trying to please its owner, shaking its head back and forth and twitching its tail violently.
The cousin added: "You may not think that Erhuang is still young, but he is still very capable. Last time I took him to the woods in front of him, Erhuang picked up a pig by himself without even firing a shot."
Liu Li heard that her cousin's words were quite tacky, so she couldn't help but smile and asked: "Why do all your dogs' names contain the second digit? Why not call them Dahuang or Dahei?" The cousin said with a tacky tone.
Wei's dialect told Liu Li and me: "To talk about thief (the pronunciation of thief is four tones), let's talk about it from when I was a child. That was when I was still
When I was one year old, my grandpa was ill, and my mother went back to her hometown to see him, so my father was the only one at home to take care of me. At that time, my family had a black dog named Dahei, which was as big as a calf.
, he looks quite majestic, with not a single hair on his body.
According to my father, Dahei was the dog king in the village at that time. As soon as Dahei came out for a walk, all the dogs did not dare to come within ten meters of him. Some dogs would run away when they saw Dahei from a distance.
This is the place where Dahei peed, and other dogs dare not go there. My dad said that Dahei is not an ordinary dog but Ao, because Dahei’s parents are in heat during mating.
They are only allowed to mate when the time comes." When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing loudly. Liu Li also held it in for a long time. When she saw me laughing, she started laughing too.
My cousin looked puzzled and asked: "Why are you laughing so hard?" I smiled and said: "Dahei's parents? Hahaha..." My cousin was puzzled by the laughter of the two of us and asked:
"Well, if you don't want to hear it, I won't talk about it." I held back a smile and said to him, "You tell me, you tell me, I won't laugh." Liu Li also held back a smile and looked at her cousin.
The cousin continued: "In the first few days, I just let them see each other but not let them touch each other. After the nine puppies are born, maybe a month or two, I don't let the puppies eat and let them get along with each other."
They killed each other, and the last one left was Dahei. Talking about Dahei, he really suffered a lot. My dad said that one time a group of poachers came to the mountain. At that time, the village organized people to cooperate with the armed police to arrest them. At that time, my dad led
Dahei followed him. It is said that four people raised their guns to shoot Dahei, but they failed to hit him. They even let Dahei throw him down and grab one of them. When they came back and mentioned this, some knowledgeable old people in the village said:
Yes, this mastiff is like three wolves. It is quite dangerous for a dog to become a mastiff. Many people from other villages came to spend a lot of money to buy Dahei after hearing that Dahei could hide from guns. My dad was also tempted at first.
Later, I really couldn’t bear to let the dog go, so I kept him.”
When my cousin said this, Liu Li looked curious and said, "What? A dog can hide from a gun? Isn't it amazing?" Looking at Liu Li's curious look, the cousin just smiled and scratched his head with his hand and said, "I said
Everything is true." I said to my cousin: "Ignore her, she has never seen the world and doesn't understand anything. Just go on and tell me." Liu Li pushed me and said, "You don't know anything.
Got it."
My cousin smiled and continued: "Because my dad had to go out to do some errands, he told Dahei to keep an eye on our house and me. According to my dad, it was as if Dahei could understand human speech at that time.
He nodded. After talking to Dahei, my father surrounded me on the quilt in the middle of the kang and left.
When he got home after finishing his work, Dahei ran towards him with his tail wagging. Suddenly, my dad noticed that the dog's mouth was covered with blood. He was shocked and immediately ran into the house.
I found that the blankets on the kang were all messed up. When I saw that I was no longer on the kang, my dad became red-eyed. He thought that Dahei must have eaten me, so he took off his shotgun and shot Dahei without any explanation.
died.
At this time, I heard the gunfire and started crying in fright, and crawled out from under the box on the kang. My dad heard the cry and ran into the house to see if I was okay. Only then did he check carefully in the house.
The body of a coyote that had been bitten to death by Dahei for a long time was found in the corner...
My dad was dumbfounded all of a sudden. He almost regretted it. He really shouldn’t have killed Dahei without asking any questions. After all, Dahei knew how to hide from a gun. If he really wanted to hide, I would
Dad might not be able to hit it. But it was too late to say anything. That shot hit Dahei right on the neck. It was definitely hopeless. My dad cried a lot for Dahei and never cared about it from now on.
I won’t name any dog I raise with a big character, only 2, to commemorate Dahei.”
After listening to her cousin's words, Liu Li's eye circles were red, tears were lingering in her eyes, and they might fall at any time. Although I felt sad after hearing this, I couldn't show it because I was a boy.
, especially in front of girls, they have to show the strength that boys should have.
While we were talking, we passed two ridges and were far away from the village. My cousin stopped and said, "This ridge is the highest one in the nearby mountains. There is a huge rock in front of it. As long as you stand on it,
From the boulder, you can see the full view of all the nearby mountains. Moreover, there are many pheasants and deer in this place, but there are no big animals. If you want to hunt animals such as deer and roe deer, you have to walk 20 miles.
, only available in the Black Bear Ridge area."
I said, "Let's just play here. The main reason is that Liu Li is here, otherwise I won't be afraid if I go further." When Liu Li heard that I was making fun of her again, she naturally argued with me. I just looked at it.
She looked secretly funny but didn't say anything to her.
We walked forward for a while and sure enough we saw the huge boulder that my cousin was talking about. My cousin said that this boulder had been here since I don’t know how many dynasties ago. The boulder was more than ten meters high. It was next to the boulder.
There were steps that seemed to be artificially made, so we climbed to the top of the boulder without much effort, and immediately we had a panoramic view of the nearby mountains and terrain.
Looking at the forest sea and waves, thousands of miles away, people have a feeling of suddenly opening up. At that moment, I recited a few poems by the great leader Chairman Mao to express my feelings: "The scenery of the northern country is thousands of miles frozen, and thousands of miles are covered with ice."
The snow is falling..." Liu Li said with a smile: "It hasn't snowed yet, where did the ice and snow come from?" I didn't argue with her, I just got off the boulder and walked over while laughing.
The cousin behind the mountain said to us: "Just here, I shot more than ten rabbits here last time." At this moment, Erhuang suddenly barked and jumped into the grass,
After a while, a cockroach quickly jumped out of the grass. It was obviously being chased by Erhuang. My cousin quickly took off the shotgun and took aim without even taking aim. With a 'bang' shot, the cockroach rolled down to the grass.
Inside, Erhuang swung his tail and ran over, then ran back with the dead rabbit in his mouth.
My cousin said: "This gun works well, but it's too slow when loading gunpowder and iron sand." Liu Li and I praised our cousin indiscriminately, saying that he was a sharpshooter, a Zoro, etc.
My brother blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment after what Liu Li and I were talking about, and kept saying: "What's the matter, what's the matter..."
Just when we were talking and laughing, Erhuang suddenly screamed uneasily. When my cousin heard Erhuang's cry, he became very nervous, looked around, and said to us uneasily: "It's not good!
It seems like some ferocious animal is about to appear."
