"Why are you such a jerk?"
Hao Dongmei stamped her feet when she saw the Chen family and their shameless appearance.
"I've been like this since I was a child. I've determined something, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it."
Chen Jiahe said with a smile.
"You really piss me off."
"Okay, don't stand outside. It's very cold. Go back quickly."
The cold wind blew by. Chen Jiahe saw that Hao Dongmei was shivering from the cold, so he pushed Hao Dongmei's back and pushed her back to the cellar.
After a night of silence, the next day soon came. In order to get into the mountains as early as possible, Chen Jiahe climbed out of bed at around six o'clock. When the other educated youth saw the Chen family and them getting up, they also gave up this rare opportunity to sleep in and helped the Chen family and them pack their things.
"Zhiyong, Le'an, each of you has one of these two guns. Chaoyang, here is my telescopic knife. You can take it."
After preparing water and dry food, Chen Jiahe assigned weapons and equipment to the other three people.
"Jiahe, you gave all these things to me, how can you defend yourself?"
Han Zhiyong couldn't help but worry when he saw that the Chen family had given the three of them the most powerful items, but he had nothing left.
"You don't have to worry about me. I can just use this. I have stab-proof clothing. The beasts in the forest can't bite me. If they dare to get close to me, I will kill them with this."
Chen Jiahe took out a hatchet and said.
"Just take this. Aren't you delivering food to those beasts? Come on, let's swap. You take this, I take that."
Zhao Le'an put the shotgun into Chen Jiahe's hand, and reached out to grab the hatchet in Chen Jiahe's hand.
"No need. Just take it if you are told to"
The Chen Jiahe waved his hand and refused. Compared with him, the one who needed protection most was Han Zhi using the three of them. When the crisis came, the Chen Jiahe would definitely not sit still and wait for death. He could take out anything, and Han Zhi used the three of them. It's different. You can only rely on these things to defend yourself.
"No need, no need. You are the main force. If you don't have a gun, who will?"
Zhao Lean forcefully put the shotgun into Chen Jiahe's hands.
"No need, me"
The Chen Jiahe really wants to tell them that they are much better at self-defense than you guys.
"You two don't have to fight. Just take this. This is much more powerful than a knife."
As the Chen Jiahe and Zhao Lean declined, Hao Dongmei suddenly walked in with the girls and put the electric baton that the Chen Jiahe had given to the Chen Jiahe for self-defense last night on the table.
"We took this away. What do you use to defend yourself? What should you do if you encounter danger at night?"
"It's just one night. It's not such a coincidence. If you are lucky, you might not be able to use it all night. Besides, the hut and the cellar are so close. Even if we scream in danger, Wang Zhi and the others will be able to do it." Hear, you need this more than we do."
Hao Dongmei's words are eloquent.
"That's right, just take it. If you encounter danger, you will have someone to defend yourself."
Several other girls also followed suit.
"Okay, I'll take this thing, Le'an, you take it."
Seeing that the girls were so determined, Chen Jiahe no longer refused.
"It's getting late, let's set off."
After packing up their things, the Chen family and the three of them came to the foot of the mountain. Others followed the Chen family and the four of them to the foot of the mountain and prepared to watch the four of them enter the mountain.
The Chen family looked up at the hill in front of them. As soon as they climbed over the hill in front of them, the Chen family and the four of them entered the legendary deep mountains and old forests in the Northeast. In later generations, this deep mountains and old forests had a well-known name, Wanda. The mountain belongs to the northern extension of the Changbai Mountains.
The entire mountain range runs southwest to northeast, touching the Naoli River in the north, Sanjiang Plain in the northwest, Muling-Xingkai Plain in the southeast, Nadanhada Ridge in the southwest, and Wusuli River in the east. It stretches for 400 kilometers and covers an area of 1.2 Thousands of square kilometers, with an average altitude of 500-800 meters.
It is an absolutely inaccessible place. Once you get lost in it, there is basically no possibility of getting out alive without an acquaintance to guide you. If there was no other way, Chen Jiahe really didn't want to go in.
"Let's go."
Chen Jiahe took a deep breath and led the three of them towards the dense woods.
"Wait a moment."
Seeing the four people retreating, the remaining educated youths fell into a dead silence, and silently prayed for the four people in their hearts. Just when the Chen family and the four of them were about to enter the forest, Tao Junshu suddenly stopped them, and then ran to the Chen family and stepped on the thick snow.
"What's the matter? Junshu."
Chen Jiahe asked, looking at his cold and red face.
"Take this"
Tao Junshu took out a pendant from his neck and hung it on Chen Jiahe's neck.
"This is?"
Feeling the residual warmth on the pendant, Chen Jiahe blushed. This was the first time he had been so close to a girl. But he quickly collected his emotions and asked curiously while looking at the pendant around his neck.
"This is the safety buckle my mother asked for when I was a child. I am giving it to you now. If you wear it, it will definitely bless you when you come back safely."
"Wow"
Seeing this scene, the male educated youths all screamed, and then quietly looked at Hao Dongmei aside. Naturally, the male educated youth’s ghost name was Chen Jiahe.
"Why are you so embarrassed? This is something your mother gave you?"
Chen Jiahe glanced at Hao Dongmei with a guilty conscience and declined.
"My mother said that if one day I meet someone I like, I will give this thing to him. Wearing something can tie me to the person I like."
Hearing this, Chen Jiahe didn't want to take it even more, but seeing Tao Junshu's big watery eyes, Chen Jiahe was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only pretend to be confused.
"Okay, I'll take it first, and I'll give it back to you when I come back."
After saying that, Chen Jiahe led Han Zhiyong and the three of them into the woods without looking back.
"It's really the hardest thing to accept the kindness of a beauty. Jiahe wants me to tell you to just agree to Tao Junshu. Tao Junshu is so beautiful. He has an oval face, big eyes, and white and thin skin. He is much prettier than Hao Dongmei. Why are you so... I have fallen in love with Hao Dongmei."
Zhao Lean said following behind Chen Jiahe.
"There's no reason to like someone so much."
Of course, Chen Jiahe couldn't say that he was attracted by Hao Dongmei's family background. He gave up his engagement with Xu Jingli and came all the way here for Hao Dongmei. If he just gave up, then he might as well stay in BJ and wait until the situation calms down to go to college and marry Xu Jingli and have children after graduation.
"You're right. There's no way to reason about feelings. Just take me and Chunhua. Our family and theirs are sworn enemies. My mother and her mother quarreled every day, but she and I just... I saw it right. My family objected, so I signed up and came here with her."
Zhang Chaoyang, dressed in rough clothes, said, "There are no roads in the woods. Every step you take, you have to pull your feet out of the snow that is more than a foot thick."
"You and Li Chunhua have a rebellious mentality. The more your family doesn't let you do something, you have to do it."
Han Zhiyong said
"You can't say that. Maybe Chaoyang and Chunhua got together in the first place because of their rebellious psychology, but as long as they persist and never leave, that's love."
"Oh, we have climbed this mountain."
After walking for more than an hour, the Chen family and the four of them finally climbed over the hill behind their house and arrived at the edge of Wanda Mountain. As long as they walked one more mountain further, the four of them would have officially entered the deep mountains and old forests.
"Jiahe, no, we can't just walk away blindly. It's been more than an hour, and we haven't even seen a pheasant except squirrels."
Han Zhiyong said while leaning on a dry and fallen birch tree.
"That's right. We have to have a goal. We can't keep wandering around like this. It's a complete waste of effort. What do you think we should choose as prey?"
It was also the first time for Chen Jiahe to go into the mountains. He had zero hunting experience and could only use the skills of others.
"Pheasants are definitely not good. A pheasant only weighs two or three pounds, which is not enough to fill the gap between our teeth."
"Wolves can't do it either. The last time we met it was a small wolf pack. I heard from the villagers that this is the largest wolf pack in the mountains. There can be twenty or thirty. And wolves are vengeful. Even if we kill them, we may not be able to Take your things away. We might be attacked by wolves. If we only have two guns and we provoke a big pack of wolves, we will have to end up in the deep mountains and forests."
"Pheasants can't do it, wolves can't do it, and tigers, leopards, and black bears are even more impossible. Which one should I choose?"
"How about we choose wild boar."
Just when everyone was struggling with what to choose as the target of this operation, Chen Jiahe suddenly remembered an animal.
"The attack power of wild boars is not as great as that of wolves, and their weight is large enough. One adult wild boar is enough for us to eat for a month."
"Yes, why did we forget about wild boars? I heard from Captain Ma that there are a lot of wild boars in the mountains. In the summer, they can cause harm to crops. If we kill them, we can eliminate them for the people."
“That’s it”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately decided to make wild boars the target of this operation.
If Liu Guangqi were here, he would definitely give each of these four little guys a big sinus, one pig, two bears and three tigers. In the wild, wild boars are no less lethal to humans than tigers and black bears.
I remember that when Liu Guangqi first crossed over, the first loss he suffered was from a wild boar. He was chased by the wild boar for several miles before he ran out of the mountain in disgrace.
"Let's go, I'll go in front, Le'an you follow me, Chaoyang you follow Le'an, Zhiyong you follow behind."
After resting for a while, the four of them embarked on the journey again and walked towards the depths of the mountain. Before setting off, Chen Jiahe adjusted the team. He and Han Zhi, who was holding a gun, stood at the front of the team and one at the back. The latter is responsible for protecting Zhao Lean and Zhao Chaoyang to safety. After all, they do not have guns and their ability to counterattack in the face of danger is relatively poor.
…
"Okay, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest."
The Chen family and the four of them still overestimated their abilities. The four of them wandered around the mountains for a whole day, but in the end they found nothing. It's not that the four of them didn't find prey. They also found a lot of prey among the four of them, but because the prey was too small, well, just because of the small size, it was definitely not because the four of them had poor marksmanship. The four of them didn't catch a single prey.
"Um"
Because not a single prey was caught, the morale of the team organized by Chen Jiahe suffered a serious blow. After being too weak to respond, the four of them looked for a place to set up camp with the last remaining light before dark.
Soon the four of them found a suitable place to camp behind a fallen towering tree. The fallen tree can not only block the wind, but also provide firewood for the four people to keep warm. After some hard work, the four people finally set up a bonfire at the moment of darkness.
"I used to think that my marksmanship was good enough, but now I know that target shooting and hunting are completely different things."
Han Zhiyong said as he leaned on the tree stump and looked at the dense stars in the sky.
"Hey, everyone has a first time. Didn't I catch a prey? The roe deer I saw was much bigger than the fox you saw. I still fired an empty gun. Don't they all say silly roe deer, silly roe deer? How come I’m not stupid at all when I meet this roe deer?”
Chen Jiahe thought about the fat and big roe deer he met this afternoon, and he murmured in his heart.
"What should I do if I tell you? We didn't catch anything today. If we can't catch anything tomorrow, how will we explain it when we go back?"
Zhao Chaoyang asked as he took a bite of the baked steamed buns.
"Explain, explain what. We went into the mountains to hunt with all our lives. Why, just because we didn't catch anything, they still want to blame us. If they dare to think so, let them come in and try."
Zhao Lean shouted.
"Okay, stop talking and go to bed quickly. It's been a tiring day. I'll go to bed first and call me in the middle of the night."
After Chen Jiahe confessed, he leaned against the tree stump and closed his eyes. Although Chen Jiahe closed his eyes, his mind was quickly thinking about solutions. He organized the operation. If he really couldn't get anything back, he would be the one who was embarrassed.
The most important thing is not this, the most important thing is that if he really can't bring anything back, a dozen of them will really be hungry by then.
Although there is food and meat in the space, the Chen family and themselves can eat those things, but it is impossible to take them out. If something goes wrong, they will be accused of theft. Thinking about Chen Jiahe, he fell asleep.
In the early morning, Chen Jiahe, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a chill spreading all over his body. Chen Jiahe, who couldn't bear the cold, opened his eyes.
The Chen Jiahe wrapped up his coat and looked towards the bonfire. Only then did he realize that the originally strong bonfire had been extinguished to the point where only a small flame remained. No wonder the Chen Jiahe felt cold. Then he looked at the three people next to him. Everyone had fallen asleep, and it seemed they had forgotten to wake themselves up.
Chen Jiahe picked up the snow on the side and rubbed two handfuls of it on his face to wake himself up. Then he picked up a handful of firewood and put it on the bonfire.
At this moment, the Chen Jiahe's peripheral vision caught sight of something green. Seeing such a thing in the wilderness, the Chen Jiahe couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. He picked up the shotgun and pointed it in that direction.
But when he started to aim, he found that he couldn't find the green thing just now.
"What's wrong."
Chen Jiahe's actions woke up the three people sleeping beside them. Although the three people fell asleep, they did not forget their current situation. The moment they woke up, they immediately touched their weapons.
"What's wrong, Jiahe."
Han Zhiyong asked, looking around with a shotgun in his hand.
"I just saw a pair of eyes there."
Chen Jiahe pointed with a solemn expression in the direction where his eyes had just been found.
"Eyes, what eyes? Could they be the eyes of a wild boar or a roe deer?"
Han Zhiyong said.
"No, those eyes are the kind of eyes only carnivorous things have."
Chen Jiahe carefully observed the surroundings.
"How can you be sure that those are the eyes of a carnivorous animal?"
Zhang Chaoyang asked curiously, holding a folding knife.
