After Wang Jiawang left, the forest protection team arranged a place for Xue Chengyuan to stay and waited for the rest of the forest protection team to return.
"Our life here is not like that of the people in the capital of Beijing.”
The bearded man sat by the fire and stretched out his hands to warm them."Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that if the person who came was weak, I would have directly sent him down.”
"If your body isn't strong enough, coming here is purely courting death.”
"How should I address you?"
"Me? Huang Ting, just call me Old Huang."
Huang Ting flipped his palm and continued to roast."You city people ask for other people's names and how to address them. This place is full of rough men. You can just ask for their names.”
"My name is Xue Chengyuan."
Xue Chengyuan introduced himself and continued,""Brother Huang, I want to know how many people there are in our forest protection team.”
"Including the nine of you in this area, there are hundreds of them in the entire Changbai Mountain.”
"There are also the militia in the surrounding mountains. They are all our reserve members. If anything happens, just call them and they will be there immediately.”
"Usually, they patrol the mountains to prevent people from cutting down trees and poaching.”
"The rules here are very simple. You can't use guns when hunting in the mountains. At most, you can use some old sleeves.”
"Nets, cages, traps are all fine, but no drugs or guns.”
Xue Chengyuan nodded.
"You've just arrived, so I can't give you the gun for the time being. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't know how to fire it now.”
"After this month, I'll find time to teach you how to shoot.”
"Go up the mountain later. There's a crossbow here. Take it. There's also a dagger and a machete.”
The few of them chatted casually.
The door was pushed open.
"I'm really unlucky today. I don't know which idiot placed a trap on the road. I didn't see anything under the heavy snow and stepped on it.”
"Fortunately, the snow is thick. Otherwise, I would have been crippled!”
Huang Ting smiled when he saw the person who came in." Hurry up and come in to warm yourself by the fire. We have a newcomer here. Take a look."”
"Hey, right, right, right! She had forgotten about this. They had agreed to arrive in two days.”
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties. Seeing Xue Chengyuan put down the gun on his back, he rubbed his hands and stretched out his hand."My name is Cai Jiayong. You can call me Old Cai.”
"I heard that one of them came from the capital and came to our forest protection team directly.”
"Are you a high school student?"
"I didn't graduate."
"Even if you haven't graduated, you're still a top student! We're a bunch of boorish people. A forest protection team of eight people can't write eight words together!”
Cai Jiayong smiled as he spoke. He paused for a moment before continuing,"By the way, I want to write a letter home later. Can you help me write it down?”
" No problem. I'll serve the people!"
"Look at the atmosphere of the people in the capital.”
"Come, I just caught a silly roe deer. I'll add more dishes tonight!”
As he said that, he took out something that looked like a deer but was not a deer, and a sheep but was not a sheep from his backpack."This silly roe deer followed me all the way. In the end, she stepped on nothing and fell into the ravine.”
"Falling into the ice in the ravine is not easy.”
"When I pulled it up, it was frozen into a popsicle.”
"It's a pity to lose it. Let's get it back and add it to our dishes.”
As he spoke, Cai Jia lowered his body and used a knife to skin the silly roe deer, remove the blood, remove the internal organs, and take out the meat.
"Cheng Yuan, we usually allow hunting in the mountains. If you're greedy, you can get some flying dragons and wild rabbits.”
"This is the case in the forest protection team and the surrounding mountain villages, as long as they don't use guns.”
"After all, we can only catch a lot ourselves. If we allow guns to go in and shoot, in a few years, more than half of the things in this mountain will be gone.”
What he said was true. If they only used ordinary methods to capture animals, they would not be able to catch many. Once modern weapons were used, it would be a large-scale massacre for wild animals.
Xue Chengyuan didn't speak much that day. He listened to the people in the room talking and chatting, listening to their various knowledge and dirty jokes.
They were all middle-aged and basically married, so there was nothing to say.
"We don't have any seasonings in the mountains, so we'll make do with it.”
"Come, eat! Eat more."
Eating something without any seasoning other than salt could only be said to be not very delicious.
Xue Chengyuan didn't take out the seasonings from his interspace. It was a slap in the face for him to only take them after he had finished cooking.
After dinner, Xue Chengyuan melted some snow in the pot and washed his feet. Then, he slept on the bed that he had prepared for himself.
After chatting for a while, they basically fell asleep.
Other than the occasional thunderclap from the firewood in the house, there was also a slight snoring.
"Gulp."
Hmm?
Xue Chengyuan, who was initially sleepy, instantly perked up when he heard the sound. He pricked up his ears to listen to the sound outside.
"Creak, creak, creak."
The sound changed, and something began to break open the door!
Huang Ting was sleeping soundly in the room, and the door was also closed. Unless a large wild animal broke through the door, the little thing could not enter at all.
He stood up, put on his clothes, and got out of bed. He walked to the door and pulled out the wooden pole that was inserted in it. He opened the door and looked outside.
A cylindrical, one-foot-long yellowish-brown thing quickly disappeared.
Closing the door again, Xue Chengyuan thought about the appearance of the thing just now. It was a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it before.
"Cheng Yuan! Cheng Yuan! Get up and eat!"
In a daze, Xue Chengyuan was pushed by someone and sat up abruptly.
"Well, you're fast enough.”
Huang Ting smiled and said," Get up and eat. Later, you will go out with my team and I will show you the way."”
"Good!"
He put on his clothes and went out to wash up. He sat in the room from yesterday and ate the silly roe deer meat soup.
"By the way, I brought some pepper from Beijing. It's good for adding fragrance to the soup.”
He took out a small bottle and handed it to someone beside him."You guys try."
"Isn't this thing a little expensive?"
"It's not expensive. It's just ordinary spices."
"Cheng Yuan has good intentions, but you're looking down on him by not letting him go.”
Huang Ting directly took the pepper and sprinkled it on his bowl.
"Don't do that. It wasn't easy for them to bring it over from so far away.”
"Alright, I know."
Huang Ting, on the other hand, passed the pepper to the person beside him and drank a mouthful of meat soup. He smacked his lips and said,"That's true. The soup has become fragrant, and it's not as fishy as before.”
"Sure, good stuff."
"It's indeed good for us. It's just that this is too little. I'll go to the city later and ask if they can get some for us.”
Hearing this, Xue Chengyuan suddenly thought of something.""Then what are you going to do with your vegetables this winter?”
"What dish?"
The Cai family finished the meat soup." We don't have any vegetables in the mountains. If you want to eat vegetables, take the meat to Wangjiatun and exchange it for some potatoes, white radishes, and cabbage. We don't have anything else on this day."”
Hearing this, Xue Chengyuan's eyes lit up.
That's right!
The winter in the northeast was long. There were not many vegetables in winter, let alone green vegetables.
As for the vegetable shed, it was even more ridiculous now. There was a lack of plastic sheets and no place to build them, let alone glass.
Without these things, there was no need to grow vegetables in the greenhouse.
If he could get some seeds and plant some vegetables in the space, wouldn't it be more precious than meat?
However, he still had to use the vegetable greenhouse, or else it would be easy to expose himself.
As he pondered, Xue Chengyuan already had a plan in his heart.
