Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

"So many? I really didn't pay attention just now.

More than 100 of them, a lot of money, go up and catch them? "Qian Shengli's eyes lit up when he heard there were hundreds of squirrels.

"Forget it! Leave some seeds for them!

A few years ago, we almost no longer see squirrels around the villages. "Liu Hongjun looked up at the squirrel that had hidden in the tree hole, shook his head and said.

Since the early 50s, the country has encouraged hunters to hunt squirrels in order to earn foreign currency.

At that time, a piece of squirrel skin cost 1 yuan, and some experts from the country held a special meeting to call on hunters to hunt squirrels and calculated the accounts for everyone.

A hunter can easily kill 30 to [-] squirrels a day, so his daily income is [-] to [-] yuan.

Of course, 50 yuan in the early 1s was equivalent to one yuan in the second edition of RMB.

Even so, earning 30 yuan a day is still a huge sum of money.

You know, even in the late 70s, the salary of temporary workers in forest farms was only 18 yuan, and the salary of a formal first-level worker was only 33 yuan.

Naturally, this has greatly inspired everyone’s enthusiasm for hunting squirrels. The key is that squirrels are not dangerous like other wild animals.

Even a child can shoot with a slingshot.

Later, as the export volume increased and the number of squirrels decreased, the price of a piece of squirrel skin also continued to rise.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer squirrels. In the past, you could see squirrels when you looked up when standing in the yard. Now, it is difficult to see squirrels around the village.

In recent years, more and more big trees in the forest have died. Experts believe that they were killed by birds in the past few years. Now the forest rangers have begun to protect forest birds.

They even started making nests for birds in the trees.

In fact, this is not just because fewer birds are shot, which leads to the proliferation of insects and killing forest trees.

Insect overpopulation has also been linked to squirrel declines.

Insects are also part of the squirrel's diet.

Too far away...

Liu Hongjun is not an animal protectionist. He just shoots a few squirrels casually, but as Qian Shengli said, killing the squirrels in a nest is a bit too much.

"Let's eat first!" Liu Hongjun greeted everyone to start eating.

Drinking chicken soup to make steamed buns and eating roast chicken.

It's a pity that I didn't bring any wine, otherwise I would have had two more sips of wine and it would taste so good.

After eating, the four of them took the sacks off the sledge, put the pine cones they had just picked up into the sacks, and carried them to the sledge.

Then we left the old pine tree with the sledge.

Behind, the squirrels on the old pine tree jumped around and squeaked anxiously when they saw Liu Hongjun and the others taking away the pine cones.

Express your dissatisfaction.

Little did they know, they had just turned around on the verge of death.

If it weren't for Liu Hongjun's kindness, by now, they would all have turned into skins, and the meat would have been served on the dinner table, braised in braised sauce or stewed in sauce.

"This is it!" Qian Shengli pointed at a dark cave and said.

"Brother Shengli, it seems we have to return empty-handed today!" Liu Hongjun glanced at the cave and said with a smile.

Dicangzi is the same as Tiancangzi. If there is a blind bear hibernating inside, there will be frost hanging above the cave entrance.

There is no frost at all at the entrance of this cave. It is obvious that this is an empty warehouse.

"Why don't these blind bears come here to hibernate in such a good warehouse?" Qian Shengli also saw the situation at the entrance of the cave and said with some annoyance.

"That's right, why doesn't this blind bear go in and hibernate?"

“If it were so easy to find, wouldn’t everyone come here to dig out the bear’s warehouse?

When I followed my father into the mountains for siege, six or seven out of ten Xiongcangzi would be empty.

The few we met at the beginning all had blind bears, so that was good luck. "Liu Hongjun comforted.

"Yes, it's already pretty good that ten of you can meet three or four blind bears.

In the past, when I followed others to hunt for sieges, I might not encounter even one out of ten. Qian Shengli followed.

"That's the Xiongcangzi you look for outside the mountains without going into the mountains. Naturally, there are few of them.

My father used to take me into the mountains to look for me. Liu Hongjun said.

"Let's go! Let's go back!

Today is not in vain, there is a cannon egg and so many pine cones. "Liu Hongjun comforted.

"Return!" Qian Shengli nodded.

Then he asked: "Where should we go to pick up a bear store tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow we won't go out and buy the cannon eggs. Let's get our sleeping bags back.

Then I will take you into the mountains to dig for treasures! Liu Hongjun said with a mysterious smile.

"Digging for treasure? Do you know the bandit's treasure? Where is it?" Qian Shengli suddenly became interested.

In the past, there were many bandits in their mountains.

There are shadows of bandits on these nearby mountains.

Later, the country made great efforts to suppress bandits, and bandits were finally eliminated in this mountain.

However, the legend of the bandit's treasure persisted.

From time to time, someone would go into the mountains to siege/release the mountains and dig up the bandit's treasure.

Gossip news about how many gold ingots and silver ingots were dug up.

"Brother Shengli, your ancestors didn't leave any treasure maps or anything like that?" Liu Hongjun glanced at Qian Shengli and asked with a smile.

"Don't listen to those people's nonsense. There is no treasure map in my house!" Qian Shengli quickly defended.

There has always been a legend in Yushutun that the ancestors of the old Qian family were bandits in the mountains.

However, the Lao Qian family are vigilantes who fight against Japanese invaders and are Liangshan heroes.

Before the Japs surrendered, Lao Qian's family intercepted a batch of supplies from the Japs, which were said to be gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, etc. that were to be shipped back to China.

After intercepting this batch of property, Lao Qian's family concealed their names and hid in the mountains.

It was also said that Lao Qian’s family name was not Qian, but Zhang, and he was a descendant of Zhang Yongshan of the Xisheng team, one of the eight teams at that time.

These legends have continued to exist in later generations, and there was a market in the 90s.

"Ha ha!

This is not the treasure I am talking about. It will be kept secret for the time being. You will know when the time comes. Liu Hongjun said with a mysterious smile.

Liu Hongjun was going to take them into the mountains to dig out the deer's antlers. He was going to take the pot with him and boil the deer's antlers directly in the mountains to make antler glue.

Originally, Liu Hongjun had not planned to take a few people into the mountains to dig out deer antlers so early, but the plan could not keep up with the change.

The village was planning to set up a pig-raising cooperative, and Liu Hongjun made big promises, saying that he could invest [-] to [-] shares.

Those skins and bear bile were not willing to be sold, so they had no choice but to take off the deer's antlers.

The main thing is, where is that thing placed? Maybe that day, because of a flap of my little wings, someone will discover in advance that the deer in the valley has lost its antlers.

Therefore, it is better to seize the time, go into the mountains, dig out the deer's antlers and put them in a bag.

"Keep it a secret, okay!

Then we'll wait and see what kind of treasure it is, so mysterious. Qian Shengli smiled.

I kept thinking about what treasure Liu Hongjun was talking about.

There are many things in this mountain that can be called treasures.

Including the treasures of bandits, the treasures of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the treasures left by Japanese companies. Others, such as Lao Zhenzi, can also be called treasures.
