Chapter 263: Renting a boat, secrets of the Greater Khingan Range

He walked westward along the Heishui River. After walking 500 meters, he found that there were basically no people guarding the primeval forest on the other side. This made him realize that he and his group only needed to find an area close to the primeval forest and cross the river.

However, the Heishui River is not an ordinary river. The water flows rapidly and is full of large freshwater fish, even carnivorous and ferocious Taimen salmon.

To do this, he had to find a boat to take them across the river.

After returning to Beiji Town, He Yuzhu began to ask from door to door, hoping to rent a fishing boat here, and he actually found one.

With the introduction of these simple people in Beiji Town, He Yuchu came to a fisherman's home. He knocked gently on the door.

“Boom…Boom…”

An old man's voice came from the door.

"Who is it?"

He Yuzhu immediately said upon hearing this,

"Hello, old man, I was introduced to you by the town. I heard about your fishing boat, so I came here specifically to rent it."

When the person inside the door heard what He Yuzhu said, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door...

The sound of footsteps dragging the floor was heard from inside the room. With a creak, the door was opened, and He Yuzhu saw an old man who looked quite old.

From his wrinkled and cracked hands, you can tell that he has been engaged in fishing for a long time, and there is a strong smell of fish on his body.

Then He Yuzhu spoke first.

"Hello, old man. I was introduced by the town to rent a boat."

When the old man heard He Yuzhu's words, he nodded repeatedly, enthusiastically led He Yuzhu into his hut, and handed him a cup of boiled water.

Then he picked up the dry tobacco beside him and took a puff, then he spoke slowly,

"Comrade, what do you want to rent a boat for?"

He Yuzhu did not hide anything, but just replied calmly,

"Old man, I want to rent a boat to go to the other side."

The old man was obviously stunned when he heard what He Yuzhu said, then he took a puff of his pipe and spoke again: "I understand, so you are going to go to the opposite Greater Khingan Range to poach, right?

There are quite a few people like you who come here to poach during this season.

As for me, I have also received many people like you. I can rent a boat to you, but I still have to advise you that the Outer Khingan Mountains are not the same as our Khingan Mountains.

There are all kinds of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts there, some of which are so large that you can't believe it. After all, it's a place where few people go, and it can be called a paradise for wild animals."

When He Yuzhu heard the old man's words, his curiosity was instantly aroused. He immediately took out a pack of Tieying cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.

"Old man, what else do you know? Tell me everything. I am quite interested in these strange people and things."

The old man stretched out his trembling hands and took the cigarette handed to him by He Yuzhu.

When he saw the cigarette, he was very excited. After all, he had smoked dry tobacco all his life, and being able to smoke this kind of cigarette was a luxury.

Then he put the pack of cigarettes into his coat pocket as if he had seen some rare treasure, and then he began to tell the story.

"Young man, it seems you are quite smart.

Well, then I will tell you what I know. First of all, when you rent my boat to cross the river, it is best to choose to cross the river at noon. Also, you need to prepare some animal blood on the boat. "

He Yuzhu was puzzled when he heard the old man's words, and immediately asked, "Why did the old man prepare these animal bloods? I don't quite understand what this blood is used for."

The old man immediately explained the reason when faced with He Yuzhu's question.

"Young man, this blood is certainly not for you, but to attract the Taimen in the river.

The Taimen salmon in our Heishui River are different from the ones you imagine. Our Taimen salmon are all very large, with the small ones being several meters long and the large ones being more than ten meters long.

You have to know that the Taimen is a cold-zone fish that particularly likes cold waters. In addition, it is very ferocious and carnivorous. Do you think that this Taimen, which is dozens of meters long, will let you go when it sees your ship full of delicious food?

There are even rumors in our Arctic Town that there is a king taimen living in this Blackwater River, and its body size has even grown to more than 30 meters.

Of course, this is just a rumor. I have only seen a taimen that was more than ten meters long. But to be on the safe side, I hope you have such preparations. After all, only by being absolutely sure can you return safely. "

After hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, old man, I've made a note of that. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

Then the old man continued with the previous topic.

“Also, when you go to the Greater Khingan Range, you must pay attention to a few things there.

The first one is the pig in One Pig, Two Tigers and Three Bears.

The pig I am talking about is not an ordinary wild boar, but the wild boar king unique to the Outer Khingan Range. One of these pigs weighs several hundred kilograms and is very ferocious. Its fangs are almost as long as your calf.

Especially since these pigs live in groups, they are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood. Once they target you, they will pull you out and eat you no matter where you hide. In addition, since these pigs often rub their skin repeatedly with natural rosin, their skin is very thick and hard, and an ordinary double-barreled shotgun may not be able to subdue it. Therefore, this animal is very dangerous, and you must stay away from it.

I once saw a group of poachers come across this thing, and only three of the eight people came back alive. "

He Yuzhu was a little touched when he heard that the wild boar king was so powerful.

The old man seemed to have not finished speaking yet and continued with the previous topic.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to ask you just now, how many of you are going to the Greater Khingan Range this time?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and answered without hesitation,

"Old man, there are seven of us this time."

The old man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Young man, if there are seven of us, that's fine. In addition to the Taimen salmon and the wild boar king I just mentioned, you have to be careful of the king in the Greater Khingan Range, the Siberian tiger. This tiger is of the same family as the Siberian tiger in our territory, but its size is larger and more ferocious than ours.

Especially when I was young, I once heard that a Siberian tiger ate a human and thus became a man-eating tiger, and it would specifically attack humans.
