Chapter 278: Comforting Yanzi and accompanying him on a trip to Qianshan
I knew that Zhu Xuefeng would not agree, but it would be nice to go outside for a walk. Liang Yan was almost going crazy because she was locked up in the yard.
"By the way, senior brother, you promised to take me out to play, so take me to have a good time at the head office. I promise not to cause trouble."
I originally wanted to wait until the weather gets warmer I asked her to take her on a trip to Qianshan Mountain, but the round trip would take two days. I was now less than a week away from departure, so time was very tight.
"How about I take you to dig wild vegetables on weekends, and my younger brothers and sisters will go too. There will be many people and it will be lively at that time. You can also bring the other junior brothers in the yard."
"I'm not interested. Now that girl named Gan brings some food every now and then. Also, if you take them all out to play, you still ask me to take care of them. I won't take them. Besides, what's the point of digging wild vegetables?" I mean, it’s not fun at all.”
Liang Yan shook her head and asked the female hero to dig wild vegetables. This senior brother really has ideas and it’s not fun.
"How about we go flying a kite. It is March now and the new moon is rising. It is a good time to fly a kite. This will be interesting. You can run around with the kite then."
Liang Yan's eyes lit up and she was eager to try, but she turned around and shook her head.
“There is only so much space in this city, and how can you run around with a kite? It’s not me flying the kite, it’s the kite flying me, okay?”
There was really no other way, Zhu Xuefeng gritted his teeth, "How about I take you hunting? You can run around and no one will care about you when you fly."
Liang Yan's eyes lit up when she heard it was hunting.
“This is not bad, maybe we can get some pheasants back, yes, it’s settled, no regrets!”
…
Finally I had to agree to take her out. After playing it once, she was able to persuade her to give up the idea of becoming a thief. She told the factory that the project was over and she had to go to school. She also told the school that the factory project was still needed. Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to cheat on both sides.
"Senior Brother Zhu, where are you taking me?"
It was early in the morning, the sky was bright, Zhu Xuefeng was driving at high speed, Liang Yan sat in the passenger seat and asked curiously.
"Is there any place in the city where I can hunt? Of course I will take you into the mountains. Let's hunt pheasants."
"Okay, then we can have a good time in the mountains. It would be great if there are big guys, we have to fight a few big guys."
As soon as they arrived at Mentougou, Liang Yan couldn't hold it in anymore when she looked at the rolling hills.
"How long will it take for us to arrive? It's so far out of the city, and there are a lot of mountains here. How about we go here."
Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, the mountains were already a little green. , but because it is too close to the city and coal mining is everywhere, the mountain vegetation has been severely damaged and there are no trees anymore. There are frequent people in this place, so there are no wild animals.
"There can't be any big ones here, and there probably aren't any pheasants. There are a few voles that are just about right. We have to go to the mountains. The nearest one here is Qianshan. You must have heard me right. If there are a few voles nearby, There are still big guys somewhere, maybe Qianshan is still possible.”
The wild boars in Qianshan have been wiped out, and the village has no worries. In addition, there are many projects in the village now, so it is unlikely. If you take the initiative to go into the mountains to collect wild animals, there is a high probability that some will be left behind.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Fangzheng, I'm not familiar with this area either."
Liang Yan has never been in the suburbs of Beijing, so she has no choice but to listen to Zhu Xuefeng's arrangements.
“But, senior brother, how can we fight wild beasts? You just brought an iron gun. You don’t want to use an iron gun to stab it? Or should we rely on this cat, haha "
Liang Yan smiled and stroked Xiao Hei gently. Liang Yan was completely lost when she saw Xiao Hei, who was all black and had smooth and shiny hair. Xiao Hei was lying quietly on Liang Yan's body. Enjoying it on his lap, this little cat looked lazy and seemed unlikely to be able to help.
"Of course it's impossible to rely on it. If we encounter a big guy, we'll think of a way to defeat him at that time. If we can't beat him, it's okay for the two of us to run away. I also brought two pairs of hand crossbows in my backpack to catch a few. The pheasant should be enough. I'll teach you how to use the crossbow in a while. It's very simple."
Liang Yan shook her head, "I don't need it. I have this myself. If I can't shoot a big guy, I can still shoot a pheasant."< br>
As he spoke, he took out a handful of small knives from his pocket. They were very delicate and had a small piece of red cloth wrapped around the back.
"This is a flying knife? You can do this."
Liang Yan was a little proud, playing with the knife and saying with a smile.
"This is a must-have thing for us. I have been practicing it for many years. Last year, I used it to catch several pheasants in the mountains of Northeast China."
This Liang Yan chats Only when I got up did I realize that she was no different from other teenage girls. She was also fun, delicious, and liked new things. She was completely different from the fake seriousness she had when she was training for a high degree.
Seventy kilometers is not that far for a jeep. The two of them arrived at Niucun Village while chatting. After thinking about it, they decided to say hello. The car would not be able to enter the mountains and would have to be thrown away. Watching in the village.
The village seems to be quite busy. Some elderly villagers are bending down in the small plots of land around the village early in the morning. They must be planting vegetables in their own private plots. In this season, most vegetables can be grown. There are also some young and strong villagers who are lining up to walk into the distance carrying farm tools.
Hearing the movement of the jeep from a distance, the villagers in the field straightened up and looked carefully. There were very few cars coming here, and even fewer jeeps.
The jeep drove directly into the village along the path and slowly stopped at the door of Uncle Niu's house. The door of the house was open, and there were people inside who were tossing about and talking. When they heard the noise outside, an aunt came out. .
“Ms. Niu, do you still remember me?”
Zhu Xuefeng jumped out of the car. This was Uncle Niu's wife. She had found seeds and bamboo sticks for Zhu Xuefeng. Mrs. Niu looked at it for a while and then said happily.
"You are Xiao Zhu, yes, it is you. You have really changed. You have become stronger and taller. Don't tell me, if you are on the road, I really don't dare to recognize you. A lot has changed in a year, come on, let’s sit in the room.”
Ms. Niu excitedly took Zhu Xuefeng’s hand and smiled, the wrinkles on her face turned into a blooming chrysanthemum. Forgot to shout into the house.
"Dad, Xiao Zhu, whom you have always been thinking about, is here."
Looking at Liang Yan who had just gotten out of the car, he asked doubtfully.
"Who is this girl?"
"This is my sister Yanzi, Yanzi comes to say hello."
Liang Yan greeted him generously and stood next to Zhu Xuefeng, looking around, quite curious. Senior Brother Zhu also had acquaintances in the mountains.
"Uncle, I still remember you."
A child ran over wiping his nose, looked at Zhu Xuefeng, held his head high and said, this is Uncle Niu's eldest grandson Niu Xiaosuan.
Zhu Xuefeng took out a large handful of candies, handed them over, and patted Xiao Shuan's head.
"I remember you too. You have grown up again. Have you found food for the earthworms?"
…
Uncle Niu’s family is repairing the stove. The notice from the sky came down that the canteen will not be open. Every household here is repairing the stove and starting to plant vegetables in the fields. Some of them went to the fields to check the seeds. Spring corn was just planted the day before yesterday. The whole village was very busy. .
Because I had a plan, I didn’t want to stay too long in the village. If I stayed a little longer, the greetings and greetings would be endless when people from the fields came back, and the hunting would be in vain. Zhu Xuefeng would come. I've been there twice, but I get along well with everyone, and the people in the mountains are still very simple. The road up the mountain was not easy to walk last time. It was cut off several times. If we go up the old road, we don't know if we will gain anything. The wild boar family was wiped out by ourselves.
"Uncle, are there any wild beasts coming down the mountain to make noises in the village now?"
Zhu Xuefeng took a sip of water and asked casually.
“It’s really strange that you ask this. Since last spring, no wild beasts have come down to make noises. Therefore, our village’s harvest was good last year. Although it was a bit dry, it was much better than other villages. ”
The village had a good year last year. Every household received a lot more eggs, and the three pigs they raised produced a lot more meat than in previous years. They met their targets and were much richer this year. He even raised six in one go.
Now that there is feed support from the feed mill, there is no need to worry about raising pigs. The old party secretary in the village said that no matter what happens at the end of the year, one must be sent to Xiao Zhu from the steel rolling mill to help him complete the task of selling pigs.
I thought I was collecting pigs, and I didn’t explain it. I just cared about the wild animals in the mountains.
"Uncle, in fact, we came here this time to follow the instructions of the old doctor and want to find some medicinal materials in the mountains to save people. The old doctor said that there have been people in this mountain before, so I just want to ask, There are water sources or streams somewhere in this mountain. I wonder if there is some herbal medicine in this water place. "
"How come I haven't heard of any life-saving herbs in this mountain?"
Uncle Niu was a little confused, but after thinking about it, it was normal for the life-saving medicine to be short of herbs. He didn't understand this and couldn't help.
"How about I take you to the health team to ask what herbs are missing? Maybe the health team has them. We, the people in the mountains, sometimes encounter some herbs in the mountains, and we collect them for them. We don't understand this."
"That's not necessary. We want to find something fresh, and we can't use the brewed ones."
How could Zhu Xuefeng dare to confront him about this? If it were delivered to your door, the secret would have to be revealed in just two sentences. It would be really difficult to tell lies.
Liang Yan didn’t know why Zhu Xuefeng made up such an excuse, and she didn’t expose it. She just quietly stroked Xiao Hei on the side.
"If you want to talk about a creek, there really is such a one. Going west about ten miles from here, there is an abandoned village. It was a horse-raising village before liberation. There is a creek behind the village. Coming down from the mountain, there is not much water.”
"There is water and streams here. The conditions are better than those in Niu Village now. Why was it abandoned? This kind of land is so suitable."
Uncle Niu sighed and said.
It turns out that the area used to be a horse-raising village, and the nearby land was more fertile than this area, so naturally there was a village. It was the richest in this area, with a maximum of more than 40 households and 300 people.
There is a large area outside the village that is relatively fertile. It is said that there has been a horse farm here for hundreds of years. Later, when there were no more horses, it became land.
A group of Japs came in 1937. They took a fancy to this place and built a barracks after occupying it. More than a hundred Japs were stationed there, like some kind of third infantry regiment, and the fields became a training ground. .
Later the Japanese escaped, the houses collapsed, and the place was destroyed. Because so many villagers had died, no one wanted to live in this place. After liberation, the training ground was changed back to After losing the fields, the village was abandoned for a long time, and then it was completely abandoned.
“This mountain is dangerous. Even though we didn’t go down the mountain last year, we are definitely still in the mountain.”
“Uncle Niu, don’t worry, we won’t run too far. Besides, my sister is a police officer. , but with a gun..."
Farewell to Uncle Niu, the two drove towards the abandoned barracks according to Uncle Niu's instructions. Zhu Xuefeng decided to go up the mountain from this abandoned place.
"Senior brother, you are full of lies. You are lying to others. If you have any more candy, you won't give it to me."
Zhu Xuefeng smiled, took out a large handful of candy and stuffed it into Liang Yan's hand.
"Here, isn't this to stop him from worrying? How about I tell him the truth and say that you brought a throwing knife."
Liang Yan peeled off a candy and stuffed it in The mouth and little face are full of satisfaction, so sweet.
"Brother, why do you want to go up the mountain from this place? I saw the way up the mountain twice just now."
The two stopped the car, and Liang Yan was also curious.
"There is water here. Besides, there were villages before. There must be a suitable road up the mountain. If there is water, you can find wild animals or pheasants."
"Master Guo also said the same. Last time I went there When looking for medicine in the Northeast, Uncle Guo also taught me how to catch pheasants in the mountains."
The two of them looked at the abandoned barracks (village), which was desolate, and neither of them was interested in exploring the secrets.
"Let's find a way up the mountain. I hope I'm lucky and can fight a big guy. Go back early. This is for you."
Zhu Xuefeng took out a small machete from his backpack and handed it to Liang Yan stuffed Xiao Hei into the backpack again with only his head exposed.
"No need, there really is a big guy. If I can still fight with this knife, I will throw the flying knife from a distance. You should just use it to chop it yourself."
Liang Yan laughed, no After taking the knife, Zhu Xuefeng took out another big one and waved it.
"I use this. The knife is for you to clear the way. No one has climbed up this mountain for many years. It must be difficult to walk."
Liang Yan then took the knife and inserted it smoothly. At his waist, Zhu Xuefeng had a knife in his left hand and a pistol in his right. Both of them were good at light-weighting. When they encountered a difficult place, they would jump over it. The knife seemed a bit redundant, so Zhu Xuefeng put away the knife and followed Liang Yan with the gun. Jump and shuttle.
"Senior brother, do you want us to compete again and see if you can still catch me now?"
Liang Yan was also so depressed that she let go completely now, really like a swallow. As she was walking through the forest, her silver bell-like laughter came from the forest, and Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to follow closely.
“Don’t let me catch you. You’re yelling and screaming, and you’ll scare away wild beasts, and you may even attract wolves.”
“Well, that makes sense, I don’t Run away, come and bring someone big, even a wolf, to make me happy. I have killed wolves before.”
This girl has killed wolves, she is very capable, I really can’t tell. .
After a while, the two of them found the legendary creek. The water flow was very small and the creek was not very wide. It was filled with stones of various sizes. The two gave up looking for a way and went directly to the creek. Jumping on rocks in the stream.
There seemed to be a faint fluctuation in the space. Zhu Xuefeng was stunned. There couldn't be any ancient tombs in this place, right? He looked around and saw nothing. He jumped forward a few steps and the fluctuations disappeared again. Zhu Xuefeng looked at Liang Yan who was walking away and gathered his energy to catch up.
Liang Yan's knife flying skills are really good. She was lying quietly behind the hillside, motionless, staring closely at the pheasant more than ten meters away, but the pheasant did not notice it.
The paw scratched on the ground a few times, then lowered his head, pecking at the newly emerged green and the bugs that were pulled out. From time to time, he raised his head and looked around. The moment he lowered his head, a flying knife passed by. .
"Senior brother, how are you? I'm doing fine."
Zhu Xuefeng followed behind, already carrying three pheasants. He originally wanted Liang Yan to relax, so Zhu Xuefeng didn't take the credit. Responsible for transportation honestly.
"Junior sister is mighty, I thought it would be better to get a big guy soon, and junior sister will give it a knife to seal its throat."
