After passing Niutoushan, they soon came to the valley where Zhou Ziwen had hunted the wild boar before.
After crossing the river, it belongs to Erdao Mountain.
Although it has snowed for a few days, the river is still flowing.
It’s just that the snow just melted yesterday, and the river water is freezing cold.
“Go this way.”
Seeing the small river, Liu Si kept walking and took everyone directly upstream.
"Brother Liu, why don't you go over here? I think the river here is quite shallow." Zhou Ziwen was a little confused.
"When you went to Erdao Mountain, you didn't take off your shoes, right?" Liu Si looked at Zhou Ziwen with strange eyes.
The other team members around him laughed a little.
"Is something wrong?" Seeing their expressions, Zhou Ziwen knew that he was making a joke.
However, he is not from Dabazi Village, so it is normal for him not to be familiar with the situation here.
“You can jump directly to the road ahead without taking off your shoes and go into the river.” Liu Si was more prudent after all and explained to him.
"It's too cold in the water today, and you'll suffer if you go down."
"Oh? Is there any other way?" Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up.
It seems that when he comes to Erdao Mountain in the future, he won’t have to step through the river.
"It's considered a road. It's actually just a few rocks that are relatively close together." Liu Si explained.
The location he mentioned was not far away, and it only took a while to reach the destination.
When they arrived at the place, Zhou Ziwen also knew why the people in the escort laughed at him.
Although the river in the upper reaches is relatively deep, there are several large rocks in the river that can be stood on, and they are so close that any adult can jump over them.
Liu Si took the lead, followed by Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang, and several other members of the escort team walked at the end.
A group of people stepped on the stones and arrived on the other side of the river in a few steps.
This time when they went hunting, Liu Si was very enthusiastic about Zhou Ziwen, and even Zhou Chaoyang also received some care.
If he hadn't been there, how would Liu Si have taken them personally?
It would be nice to be able to instruct any team member to carry it.
“After entering Erdao Mountain, everyone speaks in a lower voice, so as not to disturb the prey.”
After crossing the river, Liu Si turned back to remind everyone.
Of course, this was mainly said to Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang.
Like other members of the escort, they have come to the mountains not once or twice, so they naturally know the rules of entering the mountains.
"Brother Liu, don't worry, we won't mess around." Zhou Ziwen also heard what Liu Si meant and said hurriedly.
Relationships are relationships, but you still have to show your attitude.
If they disturbed the prey, Liu Si and the others would probably not say anything on the surface, but they would probably not take them into the mountains in the future.
Zhou Ziwen is not one of those young people, so naturally he will not delay other people's affairs.
"Brother Liu, we are just watching from the side. Nothing bad will happen." Zhou Chaoyang also said beside him.
"Haha, it's not a big deal. Just be careful and don't run around." After hearing what the two said, Liu Si was very satisfied, but he didn't show it on his face.
Actually, Liu Si is in his thirties, close to forty years old. If he got married earlier, his children would be about the same age as Zhou Ziwen and others.
In his eyes, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang were just young people.
If I didn’t remind them, I would be really afraid that they would do something bad.
During the next journey, everyone spoke much softer, and even the members of the escort team would not speak unless necessary.
After walking for a while, Zhou Ziwen pointed to the front and said, "Brother Liu, there is a trap I have arranged in front of you. Let's go take a look!"
"Okay!" Liu Si nodded. He also wanted to see how the trap set by Zhou Ziwen was.
Then, Zhou Ziwen led them to the place where he had laid the trap before.
As soon as he walked in, he found that his trap had been triggered.
When he went to check it happily, he found that it was empty, not even a hair.
"No, it probably snowed in the past two days and ruined my trap." Zhou Ziwen was not disappointed either.
That's how setting traps in the mountains is. When you're not lucky, you often get nothing.
“You did a good job with this trap!”
Liu Si didn’t care whether there was prey or not, he kept his eyes on the trap itself.
Although he is not a professional hunter, he also has his own experience in setting traps.
From his perspective, the trap set by Zhou Ziwen was definitely qualified.
Whether it was the method of trap or the choice of location, in his opinion, there was basically no problem.
“I also watched my classmates do it when I was in school and learned from him.” Zhou Ziwen said modestly.
Although his explanation was an excuse, he had actually learned about how to make traps in his previous life.
We are just human beings, and we tend to be forgetful. We forget about it once we read it, and we never study it seriously.
Until he came to this era, he activated the trap making skills from the book "Hunting Stories of Daxinganling". As he hung up, what he had seen before was absorbed and digested by him and became his own skill.
"That's pretty awesome." Liu Si praised.
To be honest, he was a little surprised.
He didn’t expect that Zhou Ziwen, a city man, actually understood this and did it well.
"Haha, Zhou Ziwen has a strong learning ability. Otherwise, how could he develop the technology of growing mushrooms by himself just based on the knowledge in books?" Zhou Chaoyang praised from the side.
"Educated youths are different. They are much more capable than us old men." Liu Si looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise, and the smile on his face became wider.
"Brother Liu, don't praise me. If you praise me again, I'll lose my temper." Zhou Ziwen looked at Zhou Chaoyang and blamed him for talking too much.
"Haha!" Liu Si laughed, and other members of the escort also laughed.
"Brother Liu, I have set up a few traps ahead, let's go take a look!" Zhou Ziwen changed the subject.
"Okay, you can lead the way, we have to go inside anyway."
Liu Si nodded and agreed. This time they went into the mountain mainly to set traps, and hunting was only secondary.
Of course, if you encounter prey, you will definitely not let it go.
Then, Zhou Ziwen led everyone to the place where he had laid the trap.
Unfortunately, because of the snow, several traps were crushed.
“Hey, there seems to be something here.”
At the penultimate place where the trap was laid, Zhou Ziwen finally made a discovery.
This trap caught a pheasant. It was probably caught before it started snowing. It would have been dead by now.
But in this weather, it doesn’t matter if it dies or not, it won’t go bad even if it is left for a few days.
"Haha, Ziwen, you are so lucky, you actually caught a pheasant." Liu Si said happily.
Although he did not trap the pheasant, he was also happy for Zhou Ziwen.
“Hehe, I’m just lucky.” Zhou Ziwen smiled.
"Hey, you kid, you're just too humble." Liu Si patted Zhou Ziwen heavily on the shoulder.
He felt that Zhou Ziwen, an educated youth who went to the countryside, was good at everything, but he was too humble and lacked the arrogance of young people.
But what he didn't know was that Zhou Ziwen's mental age was not young. Calculated, he should be about the same age as him. (End of this chapter)
