The night is getting darker.

The cold wind howled outside the window, and I could faintly hear the cheers of people playing cards at the canteen.

There is nothing much to do in the winter. Playing cards is one of the pastimes of many gentlemen. It is both chatty and exciting.

Warm back room.

Xu Dahai smiled at Pan Laoliu and said, "What's the matter? Just say it."

"It would be too slow to harvest the poultry if I was the only one. I also know two people who want to come over and do it too."

"Who is it?"

"They are also from Longxing Township. One is named Chang Haier and the other is Datou." Pan Laoliu sat back on the stool.

"Chang Haier? Datou?"

When Xu Dahai was at his father-in-law's house, he often chatted with his father-in-law, brother-in-law, and others. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew who he was talking about.

He looked at his wife Wang Xiuxiu who was sitting on the kang, and the latter also smiled.

Because she also remembered who Chang Hai and Da Tou were. Together with Pan Laoliu, they were known as the "Three Idiots of Longxing Township".

"Yeah, they often play with me. I know them well. They are not the kind to cheat and show off, they are also real people."

"There are only a few villages around. If you hire two more people, you will make a lot less money." Xu Dahai said with a smile.

"Hey, you can't make enough money no matter how much you make, so that's pretty much it."

Pan Laoliu chuckled and said:

"I estimate that the money I make this time should be enough to pay off the remaining debt, so that's fine... Besides, by hiring two more people, I can suffer less."

Riding a large [-]-meter pole to collect poultry every day is indeed a hard job.

"Okay, I agreed, let them come and collect it too."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell them later, they will definitely be very happy!"

Silent all night.

The next morning.

Xu Dahai, Xu Hu, Huang Lei, Xu Yeliang, Rong Chenglin and Pan Laoliu set off after breakfast.

The cold wind blew the snow off the eaves.

The temperature was very low, but everyone was very enthusiastic and looked forward to the harvest of this trip into the mountains.

In addition to the six of them, there were also eight ferocious hunting dogs.

Among them, 4 belong to Xu Dahai, 2 belong to Rong Chenglin, and the last two belong to his cousin Xu Hu.

Because he and Liu Hong raised pigs, they brought these two dogs from his father-in-law's house to look after the pigs.

"I brought a lot of sticky bean buns and millet. Let's go. If we can't find the black blind man in the morning, we will have lunch in the mountains."

"Yeah. Just the six of us and eight dogs! Not to mention a black blind man, we are not afraid even if we meet a tiger!"

The six people and their dogs quickly left the village.

The earth was pure white, and a long stream of white breath came out from his mouth.

After entering the mountain, under the guidance of Xu Dahai, everyone came to the small mountain stream.

"Hiss~ These paw prints are indeed big enough!"

Huang Lei squatted on the ground, measuring the paw prints on the snow with his hands, his eyes filled with shock:

"The year before last, someone shot a 400-pound black blind man, but the paw prints now are much bigger than the black blind man's claws at that time!!"

"Well, it's because this black blind man is no small matter, that's why I called my brothers to come together.

There is strength in numbers. If you can take him down, that will be great! "

"Let's go! Follow the footprints."

Several people led their dogs, jumped over a small mountain stream, and followed the footprints.

In the vast Changbai Mountains, it is freezing cold and covered with white snow everywhere.

There are many animal footprints on the snow. Most of them are rabbits, pheasants, etc., which are of little tracking value.

The first hour was okay, Pan Laoliu could hold on.

When it was nearly ten o'clock, the old boy felt that his legs were swollen and sore, his head was dizzy, and his breath was irregular.

"Xiaohai! I...I said, how about we take a break? It's been almost three hours since we left home."

Pan Laoliu ranked second in the team.

After hearing his words, everyone stopped.

"Are you tired, kid? You know it's not easy to drive up the mountain, right?" Xu Hu teased.

"Everyone is leaving too fast." Pan Laoliu muttered.

"I just have to walk faster. This is chasing a blind man! This is not a walk!"

"I...you!"

Xu Dahai was the one who took the lead. Seeing that Xu Hu and Pan Laoliu were about to quarrel, he quickly discouraged the two of them.

It is indeed tiring to drive up the mountain, and many people tend to become irritable and lose their temper when they are tired.

But I haven't met the black blind man yet, and my own people must not cause trouble.

In fact, not only Pan Laoliu, but also Xu Dahai and several other people were a little tired. They just knew they were chasing the blind man and gritted their teeth and persisted.

"Then let's rest for a while! The temperature is really low. I also brought wine, so each of us can drink two sips to warm up."

Xu Dahai led everyone to walk south for a while and came to a large rock in a mountain col, which was leeward from the wind.

He took out a flat iron flask from the basket. There was a flask cover made of wool on the outside, which was made by his wife Wang Xiuxiu.

He took two sips first.

After passing the wine bottle to everyone, everyone took turns to take a few sips.

Along with the aroma and spiciness of the wine, the wine enters the stomach, and the whole body feels much warmer.

Everyone smoked, chatted, squatted, stood, or leaned, relaxing their tired bodies.

Sudden.

Huang Lei squinted his eyes and looked to the east and said, "Look, is that a wild boar?"

"Ah? Where?"

"Look east, a little north, can you see those two big pine trees? The place in the middle!"

"Damn it, it's really a wild boar! There are three of them!"

Several people all saw it. They were indeed three large wild boars. The visual distance was about 200 meters. The latter also saw them, but they did not run away.

Several people all looked at Xu Dahai and asked him to make the decision.

After pondering slightly.

Xu Dahai shook his head: "When doing things, it's better to have a beginning and an end. Since you have chosen to chase the blind man, don't change your goals halfway.

Moreover.

The blind black man was much more powerful and could easily kill these three wild boars!It’s also worth a lot! ! "

Huang Lei nodded and agreed: "That's the truth."

"Are we just going to let these three wild boars go? How about I take a shot, whichever one I can, I'll admit it if I can't."

Xu Yeliang raised his gun unwillingly.

But Xu Dahai reached out and pressed down his shotgun again.

"Don't shoot!

We don’t know how far away the black blind man is from us. If it is nearby, I’m afraid he will run away immediately when he hears the gunfire!

It will be even more troublesome to chase it then! "

After resting for about ten minutes, everyone took the dogs and continued to set off.

At about 11:30, we found an open space, gathered firewood, buried a pot to make rice, and cooked for half an hour after the meal, and then continued our pursuit along the footprints.

……

Time flies and it’s five o’clock in the afternoon.

Xujiatun.

A small seller selling sesame oil came to the village on a large pole, shouting loudly, and causing dogs to bark.

Wang Xiuxiu put down the woolen trousers she was knitting, put on her cotton jacket, took sesame seeds and oil bottles, and went to the street to exchange for a pound of sesame oil.

Sudden.

swoosh swish~

Several of our dogs ran back from the south with their ears puckered!
