Rebirth in 80, starting with hunting in the Greater Khingan Mountains

Jiang He made a lot of money and became lazy.

The spring rain urged us to go into the mountains to hunt several times, but the rivers were unwilling to move because my sister Xiaoyu and I were busy making babies.

Liu Er also ran away. He now had 500 yuan in his hand, which was also a huge sum of money. If he played a small card game during the Spring Festival, it would be enough for him to lose it for the rest of his life.

Even though he was a local tycoon with not very good card skills, he became the most popular guest in the surrounding villages.

It’s just the Spring Festival, and the men have to lead the animals up the mountain to remove the traps. They have to work for another month and will not go down the mountain until the snow is about to melt.

Liu Er lost more than two hundred yuan, and still had half of it left. As a result, he opened up a new world for himself and started to have affairs with widows from several villages.

There are no prostitutes these days, and no business establishment dares to do such a thing.

However, it is not a big deal to provide targeted assistance to widows and young wives who are living in difficult circumstances.

The serious thing to do is to get through the day. After all, it's a matter of two people willing to fight and two willing to be beaten.

The lazy days ended when spring came and Liu Er returned home clean and refreshed.

His pockets are cleaner than his face, so naturally he is not liked by widows and people who need help.

Even if you, Liu Er, are a big gangster, so what? This is just a matter of making a living. Who would be willing to let you work for free?

Liu Er was stimulated and polished his gun until it shined. He insisted on taking Jiang He to Lingbei to kill the tiger.

He no longer cares about the income of one hundred or eighty yuan from wild boar and roe deer.

The river is also a bit floating, which is quite exciting. Tigers are much more valuable than leopards.

Jiang He cleaned his gun, prepared the bullets, and got everything ready. Just as he was about to go out, he saw three people riding bicycles into the village.

The three brand new bicycles made the children in the village very happy. They ran after them and then the three of them rode their bicycles into the yard.

The person who came was Zheng Mingshi. The young man behind him was his brother-in-law Xiao Hu. Also following him was a little old man in his fifties with a somewhat dignified look on his face. That was his father-in-law Lao Hu.

Zheng Mingshi stopped his bicycle and said to Jiang He excitedly, "Xiao Jiang, your bicycle? My father-in-law got a bicycle ticket and bought it for you directly. One bicycle costs 150 yuan..."

Jiang He looked at the three 28-inch heavy bicycles and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly asked Miao Xiaoyu to get the money.

Zheng Mingshi waved his hand: "Don't worry about the money. I've done such a big thing for you, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Jiang He immediately understood what was going on when he saw the buckets of water and the long, aluminum wire scoop bags that looked like large colanders clamped on the bicycle racks.

Now that the spring breeze is blowing, the rivers are about to melt.

This is a good time to catch toads.

At this time, the toads are about to wake up and are huddled together in their nests, making it the perfect time to dig out their nests.

I have to say, as the manager of a lumberyard, you are really addicted.

His brother-in-law and father-in-law are really not good people.

Because both of them hold public office, and his father-in-law is a small leader in Yalin. Otherwise, Zheng Mingshi would not be qualified to be the director of the lumberyard, a position that is useless.

Jianghe likes to go into the mountains to hunt, but doesn't like to go into the river.

Because there are too many uncertainties when going into the river, and the water is very cold, if you are not careful, you can really drown.

The deep water places like the big rivers, ditches and ponds in Daxinganling are much more ferocious than the wild animals in the mountains.

If one or two were killed by wild animals, seven or eight would drown in the water.

But, he has already bought the bicycle, so the price is not important. The key is that it is in short supply, so I have to repay the favor.

"What else is there to say? Let's go!" Jiang He immediately agreed.

Old Hu said excitedly: "When I first came here, I walked around the outside of the village twice and I saw two places that I thought must have a lot of toad nests."

"Where?" Jiang He asked.

"There are several ditches and ponds in the woods east of the village, as well as many towers. That's the perfect place for toads to gather."

Jiang He gave a thumbs up: "Uncle, you have a good eye. You are right. There are a lot of toads in that place."

Old Hu was very proud, as if he had eaten more salt than you had eaten rice.

The three of them pushed only a bicycle and carried buckets and other things, and strolled out of the village.

The spring breeze has melted the snow on the sunny side.

Doesn’t that sound warm?

No, no, no, the spring breeze in Daxinganling is like a stepmother, slapping you in the face and leaving cracks on your face and lips.

The wind only died down a little when we got into the woods.

The ditches and ponds in the woods are called ponds in some places, but the pond they chose is relatively large, about dozens of meters long and wide, and there is ice on the surface.

When it comes to catching toads, local people like Jiang He are no match for Lao Hu.

Lao Hu walked around on the ice and chose a spot close to the top of the tower.

"There must be a toad nest in this place. If not, I'll eat the tower head!"

Jiang He laughed and said, "Uncle, you have a really sharp eye. This place is covered with mud and grass roots. Toads are happy to gather here!"

Chunyu picked up the pickaxe and started digging out the frost.

The ice at this time is particularly easy to shave. It breaks into pieces immediately with a light touch. The ice inside is hard and shiny like crystal pillars.

After scraping away the ice, Lao Hu picked up the aluminum mesh bag, reached underwater, and explored the mud on the shore.

"Hey, the goods are coming!"

Old Hu cheered, plunged the big net bag down, poked it, turned it around, then pulled it back and threw it onto the ice.

In a large mass of mud, a dozen toads gathered together and squirmed slowly, stretching their legs and hips, giving people a tingling sensation.

At this time, the toads are fished out in pairs.

It is as big as a fist, with a bulging belly and round and firm thighs. It is a mother toad holding her cub.

On the back of the mother holding her child, there is a thin and small toad tightly held. This is a male dog, or a male toad.

The male toad has no meat and no oil, so only the little ones will roast it over fire and eat the toad legs.

Jiang He and his team brought such professional tools with them, but if they brought back a skinny male dog, it would be a laughing stock.

Only the fat female puppies were picked up and put into the bucket, and the thin and small male puppies were thrown away.

However, Chunyu still picked up these male puppies and said he would take them home to feed the chickens.

Aunt Xiu specially raised a dozen chickens, saying that they were to nourish Jiang He's body.

Chunyu was picking up the things while chattering, "My mother is extremely good to you."

Jiang He got furious when he saw the other people's half-smiles in their eyes. Aunt Xiu and I are innocent.

Amidst laughter, there was a crackling sound of ice rubbing against each other. Zheng Mingshi, who was picking up toads, stepped on the vertical ice and collapsed, and suddenly fell into the water.

"Help...Gulu!"

Zheng Mingshi didn't even shout for help and disappeared into the ice cave.

His brother-in-law Xiao Hu screamed and rushed forward to catch the man, but the ice surface with a hole in it was extremely fragile and shattered into pieces with a loud noise.

Xiao Hu slipped out like a big fish and dived into the water.
