Hello 1983

It was about to chew, but the bean bag stuck to its upper teeth, which made it whimper and roll on the ground.

Liu Qingshan also panicked, quickly jumped to the ground, opened its mouth, and pulled out the sticky bean bun.

I just listened to the story of the black blind man eating bean buns told by my grandma yesterday, and it will be staged alive today!

After being scalded, Xiao Hei immediately withered, and he didn't dare to eat bean buns when Liu Qingshan gave it again, so he still had a little memory.

After breakfast, Liu Qingshan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, the dumb grandpa gestured to him a few times, and then threw a pair of big fishes in front of him.

"Master, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and we still have to go into the forest?"

Liu Qingshan was a little puzzled, going into the woods in winter is not a joke, maybe your life will be thrown in it.

The dumb grandfather gestured again: If you want to become the king of the forest, you must be familiar with the forests in different seasons, every plant, every tree, every bird and every beast in the forest.

It turns out that Master is going to give a practical class!

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel refreshed, and excitedly began to put big scorpions on his feet.

How did he know that the arduous test will officially start from this moment...

Chapter 1 Flying Dragon

Liu Qingshan took off the cotton shoes on his feet, and then put on the big scorpion thrown by his master.

靰鞡 was a kind of leather boots in winter at that time, most of them were made of cowhide, with a half circle of delicate pleats on the upper, and a kind of grass must be filled in the inside of the shoes.

That's right, this kind of grass is the famous scorpion grass.

Guandong Mountain, Three Treasures, Ginseng, Mink Fur, and Caterpillar.

The ginseng and mink skins are not afforded by common people, and only this scorpion grass is the treasure of the common people.

This kind of grass grows on the pylons of the meadow, in clumps, seemingly slender, but soft and tough. After drying, they are beaten in winter and put into boots, even if they stand in the snow shell. For half a day, my feet won't freeze.

Of course, if you don’t have cattail grass, you can also put some corn husks or the like, but the warmth retention effect will be much worse.

The pair of big 靰鞡 that Liu Qingshan wears is obviously more elegant. They are high-waisted boots, and the outside is not leather, but fur.

Ask the master, the dumb grandpa gestured and said: It is made of the fur of Yan Dahan, and it does not touch any snow when walking in the snow.

Putting on the big scorpion and leggings, the dumb grandpa and Liu Qingshan both carried a bundle and set off with a thick wooden stick in their hand.

"Master, don't you have a gun?"

Liu Qingshan was a little worried, this winter, wild animals had difficulty finding food, and their eyes were green from hunger, so don't let the two of them be cushioned.

The dumb grandpa smiled and gestured a few times: Walking in the mountains and forests, relying on real skills, what's the use of holding a fire stick?

Firestick?

Well, this is the first time that Liu Qingshan has heard someone call a shotgun a fire stick, so Master must really call Yigao people bold.

The two hounds walked unhurriedly in front, and they rarely barked. As for the remaining half-sized dogs and little blacks, they all stayed in the woodcut in a daze.

The mountains and forests in winter feel extremely quiet. In the forest, the snow in the usual places does not reach the ankles, and some low-lying places even go straight to the knees.

Occasionally, there will be a light cracking sound, which is made by the snow crushing the dead branches. In the quiet forest, it can be heard very clearly.

Liu Qingshan looked around while walking, and saw that the dumb grandfather frowned, stretched out a big hand wearing a hand mask, and patted his dog fur hat.

Liu Qingshan was a little dazed when he was photographed, he didn't know why Master did it when he was walking well.

The dumb grandpa pointed at the tree with his hand, and then pointed at the snow. Only then did Liu Qingshan notice that the dumb grandpa would leave some marks on the tree every few dozen steps along the way.

He sort of got it: it keeps you from getting lost.

And on the snow, it looks like a vast expanse of whiteness, but in fact there are animal footprints of various sizes and shapes on it.

The first lesson the dumb grandfather taught Liu Qingshan was to recognize animal footprints and feces.

Liu Qingshan was completely convinced, because the master could even tell the male and female of the beast from these footprints, and he could roughly judge when he passed by here, whether it was half a day ago or three days ago.

When he got here, he felt that he suddenly became a primary school student, and he had to learn everything from scratch.

Fortunately, his mind is mature, he studied hard with his master, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he also liked to ask the bottom line.

Along the way, the dumb grandpa was also very happy, always smiling.

"Master, this is a herd of wild boars. I'll count how many there should be."

Liu Qingshan made rapid progress, after checking his footprints, he made a horoscope.

The dumb grandfather nodded in satisfaction. There are indeed eight wild boars in this family, including the big and the small.

woo... woo...

The hound in front barked softly, as if reminding him of something.

The dumb grandpa came to a stone ladle, lifted the wooden stick in his hand, and poked it a few times in a snow hole, and then a hole was revealed.

If you look closely, there are still wisps of hot air coming out of the snow cave.

"Bear Den?"

Liu Qingshan couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

The dumb grandfather waved his hand, and then made a few gestures, Liu Qingshan was relieved.

It turned out that it wasn't a hibernating Xiong Xiazi, but his name also had the word "bear" on it, it was a mink bear.

Although the mink bear is also called a bear, it is actually a member of the weasel family and is a close relative of the weasel.

The dumb grandfather also asked Liu Qingshan to go to the snow cave to smell it, and it really smelled bad.

Wolverine is a semi-hibernating animal, and the entrance of the cave is covered by heavy snow, so it is inevitable that the cave cannot breathe well, so the dumb grandpa will help to clean out the entrance of the cave.

Is this... a good deed?

Liu Qingshan thought Master was very interesting: the dumb grandpa would also hunt some wild animals in the forest, but at the same time, he would also protect them, isn't this a bit contradictory?

The master and apprentice continued to trek forward, and after walking for a while, Liu Qingshan was wheezing and wheezing, but the dumb grandfather still seemed to be taking a leisurely walk, not tired at all.

The hound in front let out another low bark, and the dumb grandfather led Liu Qingshan to a big tree that needed two or three people to hug him and stopped.

Liu Qingshan saw a big tree hole at a glance.

The master pointed to the top of the tree hole. He looked up and saw some hoarfrost hanging.

He understood that there must be goods in this hole, and the hot air he breathed would condense into frost above the hole.

"Master, this must be a blind man, right?"

Liu Qingshan is also confident now, in their place, this is called "squatting in warehouse".

The tree hole is like a big warehouse, and black bears hibernate in it, so it is called a squatting warehouse.

Generally speaking, bears on sunny slopes like to squat in tree holes, which are called Tiancang; bears on shady slopes like to hibernate in underground holes, called "Tiancang".

This is also the easiest time to hunt bears. Of course, Master led Liu Qingshan, and he definitely wouldn't kill bears.

The dumb grandpa looked around the tree hole carefully, then shook his head with a smile, and gestured a few more times.

What, big horse bear? !

Liu Qingshan felt that his legs were getting weaker: "Master, let's retreat first!"

The brown bear got its name because of its huge size and the face of a big horse.

And because it likes to stand up and dangle like a human, it is also called a human bear.

Of course, it’s best known by its scientific name: the brown bear!

Thinking about a big brown bear sleeping in the tree hole, who wouldn't feel terrified?

Brown bears are so fierce that even Siberian tigers dare not provoke them. They definitely have the qualifications to dominate the forest.

The dumb grandpa smiled and waved his hands, put his ears on the tree trunk again, listened for a while, then nodded with satisfaction, and then took Liu Qingshan away.

After walking a few hundred meters, Liu Qingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: This silent forest is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface, how many dangers are hidden in the dark?

Fluttering, there was a sound of flapping wings overhead.

Liu Qingshan looked up and saw a group of pigeons and birds flying down to the ground not far away.

pheasant?

Then he shook his head himself. This bird was obviously smaller than a pheasant, and the feathers on its body were similar to those of a wood pheasant. It was not fancy at all, and most importantly, it didn't have such a long tail.

He suddenly thought of something, and spit out: "Flying Dragon!"

The dumb grandfather nodded, and Liu Qingshan became a little uneasy: among the rare birds on the mountain, the flying dragon should be the first.

As the saying goes, no one has eaten dragon meat in the sky, but the dragon meat is definitely delicious.

The scientific name of the flying dragon is called the flower-tailed grouse, and it likes to eat pine nuts and various small insects in the forest.

It is said that it is very delicious when used to make soup, but Liu Qingshan has never tasted it since he is so old.

Seeing the apprentice, he was almost drooling, and the dumb grandfather had a loving smile on his face, he just reached out to pat Liu Qingshan on the head, and then led him to continue walking in the forest.

At the end, Liu Qingshan's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he seemed to be unconscious, just trudging mechanically in the snow.

The dumb grandpa didn't intend to stop at all, he still walked unhurriedly, knowing that the sky was dark, so he stopped in a clearing in the forest.

In this open space, there is another woodcut, but this wooden house in the forest looks much older.

It turns out that there is still a place to rest here!

Liu Qingshan couldn't help feeling refreshed, he had been wondering: where to stay at night, I can't sleep in the snow shell, if that's the case, I guess it will be hard when I wake up tomorrow morning.

The wooden house is not locked, but the door is fastened with wire. When entering the house, there are candles, a stove in the house, and outside the wooden house, there are all kinds of firewood and wooden boxes.

After starting a fire and lighting a candle, the cold air in his body was immediately dispelled, and Liu Qingshan felt his whole body come back to life.

There was still rice in the jar, and it was tightly sealed. While Liu Qingshan was washing the rice and steaming the rice, he saw the dumb grandpa coming back from outside with two birds upside down in his hand.

Looking at the mottled feathers on the bird, Liu Qingshan was dumbfounded again: This should be a flying dragon, how did Master catch it?

The dumb grandpa gestured a few times: At night, Feilong plunged into the snow shell to sleep, so he caught two and came back to make soup.

It's easy to say, but if it was really that easy to catch, it would probably have been caught long ago.

Liu Qingshan feels that there are still too many things he needs to learn.

In fact, the most important thing to learn is Master's not to be greedy: a group of flying dragons only caught two and brought them back.

Take what you should take, and give what you should give up. Even Liu Qingshan, who has already developed the concept of animal protection in his mind, may find it difficult to do so.

At least he was thinking just now: Can we get back a few more, so that our family members can try something new.

After the bird feathers were removed, the rest was left to the master to cook, and Liu Qingshan learned from the side.

I saw the dumb grandpa adding a few ladles of water to the pot, threw the two clean flying dragons into the pot, and put the pot on the boil.

After boiling the pot, throw in a small handful of schisandra, and when it's time to get out of the pot, add a little salt, it's that simple.

Liu Qingshan generally understands this point: the better the ingredients, the simpler the processing method.

At the beginning of dinner, each person had a big bowl of hot Feilong soup, Liu Qingshan took a small sip, then hissed and gasped.

This is not boiled, but fresh, as if the essence of the entire forest is conceived in this mouthful of soup.

The dumb grandfather looked at his apprentice's stupidity, and compared with him: In recent years, flying dragons have become more and more rare, and it is enough to try something new once in a while.

Don't make any other plans. If you catch them and sell them for the sake of immediate profit, it is estimated that within a few years, this kind of bird will be extinct.

Chapter 1: Wolves

Liu Qingshan had to admire Master's foresight, because in fact, things developed like this, and on their side, they really never saw such rare birds as flying dragons again.

It seems that special rare bird breeding will have to be done in the future. For those who are greedy, let them taste the artificially bred flying dragon.

Liu Qingshan silently made up his mind.

After the two men drank all the soup in the pot, the master threw the remaining flying dragon meat to the two hounds.

Liu Qingshan resolutely tore off a piece of breast meat and tasted it, it was like chewing firewood, it had no taste, so he threw it to the dog.

After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, Liu Qingshan was going to go out to put some water, and then go to bed early. After walking this day, he was really tired.

After leaving the wooden house and walking more than ten meters, just as he was about to untie his belt, Liu Qingshan suddenly sensed something was wrong.

This is also an instinctive reaction that gradually formed after practicing martial arts with the master.
