There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhang Guoqing got up early in the morning and ran happily to the yard to sweep the snow. He almost opened his voice and shouted, we ordinary people, how happy we are today.

Thinking of going up the mountain to hunt later, the iron catalpa swung fast.

Today, apart from Zhang Guoqiang, who went to work, all the men in the family had to go up the mountain to bring dry food. At this time, Zhang's mother was lying in bed, and when she heard the sweeping sound outside, she knew that her old son had woken up.

She quickly lifted the quilt and dressed in a hurry.

Father Zhang was woken up by her, Why are you in a hurry, take your time. It's still early.

Lie down, I'm going to find my old son.

Father Zhang sat up, woke up, and his old son got up at five o'clock, so he got up with his wife. The couple smiled when they heard the doors of the East and West Wings open.

In the bedroom, Zhou Jiao began to organize the dry food and clothes she brought for Zhang Guoqing. Although he said that he would stay for two nights at most, just in case, you still need to bring everything you need. For example, wound medicine and antipyretics are well prepared.

Last night, the young daughters-in-law from the next door chatted with her too late. The situation outside her was completely smeared, and she didn't know if she could do some small business now.

As soon as Zhang Guoqing came in, Zhou Jiao dragged him into the bedroom.

After listening, Zhang Guoqing shook his head again and again. If he really wants to sell couplets, his wife will die of exhaustion.

It was up to her alone to write big characters, and she spent a lot of money and effort. In the end, if something went wrong, she would still feel guilty. If his father-in-law knew that he was precious, he would be scolded to death just for such a penny couplet, and he was tired of writing.

Looking into her eyes, Zhang Guoqing really couldn't bear to refuse. He looked away and said softly: Jiaojiao, your intentions are good. But people's hearts are unpredictable.

Maybe I made money, you warned me, but Lin Chrysanthemum said it loosely? If we can do less, we can do less. If something goes wrong, we still have to contribute people, effort and money, and we can't get it right.

Zhang Guoqing hugged her and said in a low voice: They have money in their hands. My sister-in-law has saved a lot of money in private. Then I listen to your subsidy because I am grateful to her. If the boss and the second child are all arranged for work, we won't have any money. It is necessary to stretch. Human greed cannot be cultivated, nor can people rely on us.

After speaking, he hugged her and sat on the kang, teasing her pretending to be distressed, Jiaojiao, I've become a badass. I found that one month's salary is not enough to support a wife and son.

Haha...you little boy. Can't you support me and my son with one month's salary? The eldest sister said that a female worker in her factory costs more than 20 yuan a month to support five brothers and sisters in the countryside. I see that you still have to pay a month's salary. It will be superfluous. Don’t keep your eyes on me, this time you plan to catch valuable animals. If you come back from some injuries, let’s see how I deal with you.”

Zhang Guoqing saw her getting more and more nervous as she talked, and quickly patted her comfortingly, I'm not stupid. A good life is just looking for sins? I went there this time just for fun. Safety first. Even if you hit the valuable ones, everyone will share. I know it.

Zhou Jiao nodded after listening. She just raised her mouth. I believe in my heart that he knows the severity. Seeing that it was getting late, she pushed him away, pointed at the things on the table, and explained to him one by one what they would do.

After breakfast and hearing the announcement from the loudspeaker, Father Zhang and the others took the hunting tools such as the wooden barn and bamboo baskets on their backs to meet Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang.

Except for Zhou Jiao, who was in confinement, all the staff of the third house of the old Zhang family were mobilized, men, women and children went to the village drying ground in mighty force.

On the drying ground, there were people of all ages standing around, and all the men who went up the mountain stood in the middle. The old captain stood on the mound with gongs and drums in front of him.

Everyone is waiting for everyone to arrive, and the drum starts to go up the mountain.

When the old captain saw the tall and burly men of the old Zhang family from a distance, he was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

After more than ten minutes, he saw all the personnel gathered, and repeatedly told everyone to pay attention when going up the mountain to ensure everyone's safety. Only then did Uncle Zhang lead the team up the mountain.

After a burst of gongs and drums, amidst the cheers of the villagers, Uncle Zhang led the men of Zhangjia Village to the foot of Daqing Mountain.

Gathered the men from the two neighboring villages who had been waiting for a long time, nearly 400 people separated into several teams and set off towards Daqingshan.

Zhang Guoqing led the team with an old hunter. At the back Zhang Qingshan manages the team at the end of the team, while Zhang Qingya is on guard in the middle. There are about fifty people in the whole team.

In addition to the men from the old Zhang family, there were also men in their twenties from various villages in the group. There are also a few wolf dogs around - this is the most promising team from the three villages to bring back their prey.

On the north and south sides, there are teams led by several old hunters like Uncle Zhang, who are ready to meet each other.

Halfway up the mountain, several teams were divided into three groups.

According to the agreement, the three teams advance and retreat together, and immediately support when they hear the whistle.

Before dark, everyone will rush back to the small col on the mountainside for the night.

Listening to Uncle Zhang's arrangement: Several old hunters pulled the hounds and hung whistles, and led everyone cautiously to the farther side of the mountain.

After halfway up the mountain, you will arrive at the site of the big game.

This is the destination of this hunt. Going further is the deep mountain, no one dared to bring so many people into it this time.

The further you go, the dense forest, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and the person leading the way in front has to use a hatchet to carve out a small path.

Without physical strength, it is impossible to go hunting in the mountains. Walking in the mountains and forests, you have to pay attention to the movement around you, and you have to carry it back and forth when you hit prey.

Seeing that the people behind couldn't keep up with the team, the old hunter found a nearby stream, and began to lead the people in front, setting traps here, hoping to gain something on the way back.

Zhang Guoqing felt inexplicably excited when he entered Daqingshan. Looking at the distant mountains in my memory, I just want to go in and have a look.

He remembered that the last time he picked ginseng was not far away. At that time, he didn't know medicinal materials. If he remembered correctly, there was Ganoderma lucidum in Yixiantian.

Waiting for the people in the back team to catch up, the old hunter saw that there was a lot of noise, so he asked Zhang Guoqing to start talking about the main matters of hunting for everyone.

Zhang Guoqing knows very well that many in the team have never hunted. He really wants to talk about the main points - this is something the old captain has said several times and entrusted him.

Wait for everyone to quiet down. Zhang Guoqing began to demonstrate to them: how to walk lightly in the mountains and forests, and pay attention to every branch and every leaf around them, so as not to disturb the animals. Many animals are more sensitive and timid than humans. A little movement will run away.

Then Zhang Guoqing talked about the importance of wind direction when hunting.

Because many animals have a very sensitive sense of smell. Smells that are not of the same kind run very fast. If you really encounter people who don't run away, they are all big beasts, and they are very dangerous.

It is also very useful to hunt prey in the wind direction. For example, hunting wild boars with the wind is more difficult and the distance is closer than that with the wind. Most of the time, when people are in the headwind, you can see that the pig's head will smell upwards, and the sight of wild boars is very poor. If you don't move, it won't notice.

After talking about these, he began to talk about the animals in the mountains, generally such as wild boars, wild deer, spores and other different time habits.

For example, if wild boars are in a group, it is called a herd of pigs. These are timid and easily frightened. When they are full, they will appear in the woods after dusk, rest and play by the stream. And when they are frightened and run away, the direction is always the same, and they will all gather together in the end.

There is also a kind of old pig weighing seven or eight hundred catties that moves alone. Be careful when encountering this. This is the lonely pig, very aggressive. See people, see animals will come forward. People say one pig, two bears, three tigers - referring to this kind of pig.

Pay special attention to wild boars, and be careful not to approach them immediately. First look at the state of the pig. The dead wild boar is lying flat on the ground with all four hooves outstretched. The injured pig's four hooves will lie under the body, and when you walk in, it will jump up and fight you desperately.

Speaking of which, seeing everyone's concentration, he smiled and continued, there is also a common kind of silly roe deer, they jump the fastest and run the fastest, but they still look back stupidly. Sometimes I will be scared to move, and I am the least courageous. In early winter, I like to eat green grass in ditches and creeks.

Zhang Guoqing saw that everyone was willing to listen, so he immediately talked about the red deer.

In early winter, red deer often go from the mountains to the river to drink water after the sun rises, and they always like to walk on the same road. Everyone should pay attention to the animal footprints under their feet along the way.

Secondly, wolves often move around where people live, and they also like to walk on paths that people often walk. When everyone returns at night, they often follow behind secretly.

They don't have the guts to attack, this is their observation and temptation. Let everyone not be afraid, keep calm, don't shout, and don't provoke it. Usually looking back, they run away;

Xiong Xiazi usually hibernates in sheltered caves in winter. If it appears occasionally, avoid it far away, and it will be fine; foxes often catch small animals by the river to eat.

Finally, when following their team, it is best to find obvious signs and general directions. In case you get separated, don't move if you don't have a direction, wait where you are and wait for someone to find him. Everyone in their team remembers who is in the front, back, left, and right, and immediately informs everyone when they disappear.

The old hunter laughed loudly after hearing this, Remember what Xiao Wu said first. This is an old experience that you don't usually hear. We must remember safety first. Don't chase wild animals when you see them. Don't yell until the surprise event. Okay, go on, and take your steps lightly for now.

Seeing that he was going to go hunting in the mountains, Zhang Guoqing put down the basket, took a straw rope and tied it around his waist, and put a hatchet on his waist. Touch the dagger on the calf, put the basket on your back, and try to reach back and touch the bow. He holds a broken bag full of stones in his left hand, and small stones in both hands.

After getting ready, he worriedly looked at his eldest brother who was waiting behind him. Seeing his elder brother smile at him, think that he can still protect him.

Walking beside the old hunter and protecting his elder brother inside, Zhang Guoqing fell into a state of depression. Except for the barking of the dog, a little movement in the distance can be heard clearly.

A poisonous snake was entrenched not far away, he threw a stone lightly, and the snake's head was already bloody. The old hunter cocked his thumb and gestured to him. He opened the way and asked Zhang Guoqing to pay attention to his surroundings.

The old hunter led the group to the forest in front of him, and moved forward lightly, touching the animal footprints on the ground.

Zhang Guoqing knew at a glance that he was looking for a group of pigs. If I remember correctly and heard correctly, not far away, there will be a herd of wild boars looking for food in the soil.

He didn't open his mouth to remind, as long as he leads the team to safety this time, he will hand over the job. As for wild animals, there is no shortage of Daqingshan. What he can't forget is Ganoderma lucidum. I don't know if there is a chance to pass this time. Not to mention selling money, it's good to make up for Jiaojiao.

After staying in Daqingshan for two days and one night, Zhang Guoqing saw that his son's full moon was approaching, and if he didn't go back, Zhou Jiao would die in a hurry. Seeing that there were still several teams injured, Zhou Jiao used up all the wound medicine he had brought.

Zhang Guoqing ran to discuss with Uncle Zhang, and accepted it when he saw a deal. Many people who entered the mountain for the first time couldn't take it anymore, and it was still freezing in the whole team to go back.

Seeing that everyone was in a panic, Uncle Zhang consulted with the team leaders of the other two villages and asked everyone for their opinions. The minority obeys the majority. Finally, everyone is willing to return with a rewarding experience.

Zhang Guoqing led the team down the mountain with excitement. Once at the foot of the mountain, he and the old captain reported that the whole village had returned safely. He didn't even care how many wild animals he should get, so he dragged his elder brother to slip away first. How much the two brothers will gain from this meeting can only be determined by meeting Zhou Jiao first.
