Chapter 832 Winter Hunt (1)
Chapter 832 Winter Hunt (1)
Liu Jingxue got up at around three in the morning of the next day.
They have to get up. Last night, the captain sent his eldest and second sons to notify every household that the hunting team must gather and go into the mountains at four o'clock in the morning.
Originally, Liu Jingxue didn't need to get up so early. She only needed to get up twenty minutes earlier, quickly wash up, get the breakfast prepared in the space, and then set off.
But Xie Yumei and her son did not live here, and she did not dare to drug her again last night. She could only get up early, make breakfast, and prepare dry food for the journey.
Fortunately, after my aunt knew the time they would go into the mountains yesterday afternoon, she prepared their breakfast and dry food for the journey early in the morning. They just needed to heat them up over a fire.
As for dry food, it’s useless to heat it up now. It will get cold in a moment as soon as you go out.
At that time, I can only make a fire to warm myself up during my break.
Liu Jingxue, who has had several experiences of winter hunting in the mountains with the hunting team, is already very familiar with this.
As for the brothers Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun, she had already told them a lot yesterday, and Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were there to help prepare things, so she didn't need to worry about it.
Liu Jingxue got up and started busying herself, which woke up Xie Yumei.
She helped Xiaohuzi pee and then went to help Liu Jingxue.
After repeated refusals, Liu Jingxue had no choice but to let her do it.
Before leaving, seeing that she could not hide her worry, Liu Jingxue comforted her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, there are more than 30 people in the hunting team including us, and everyone has a secret weapon, so there will be no danger.
Don't worry about your eldest brother, my second brother and I are here to protect him."
"Who's worried about him?
Didn’t you see how excited he was when he knew he could go into the mountains with you for winter fishing?
If he hadn't known that you were going into the mountains today, he would have dragged you into the mountains yesterday.
But you, a girl, go into the mountains in such a cold day. You said you will not be back until night, so you must wear more clothes and don't catch a cold.
We women are not like men. If we get cold, it will affect our fertility."
Liu Jingxue thought to herself, sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about this. With the spiritual shield in place, she won’t feel the cold at all.
Besides, even without the spiritual shield, she still has spiritual power to protect her body and will not catch a cold.
She patted her clothes and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm wearing so many layers. I won't be cold.
Don't worry about us at home, we will definitely come back safe and sound.
Just wait for the meat to be divided and the pig-killing dinner to be eaten tomorrow."
Liu Jingxue took out her watch from her bosom and checked the time. "Sister-in-law, it's too late. I have to go to the gathering.
You stay home peacefully.
If you are afraid, I will send you there to stay with your aunt."
Xie Yumei shook her head, "It's almost four o'clock now, and it will be dawn in a while, there's no need to bother anymore.
Although I am not as brave as you, nor as capable as you, I am a soldier's son after all. I grew up in the army and have practiced some kung fu.
Just being alone for a few hours is nothing to be afraid of.”
Seeing her say that, Liu Jingxue didn't insist. She just said it casually.
In fact, she was not worried about the safety of the mother and son at all, and she really thought that the formation she set up in the yard was just a decoration.
As soon as she went out, she used hand gestures to activate the formation. Without her permission, outsiders could not enter the yard.
After seeing Liu Jingxue off, Xie Yumei locked the gate and went back into the house to continue sleeping with her son in her arms.
As soon as they entered the mountain, the brothers Liu Jianguo followed Uncle Ji and his son and walked at the front of the team.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao walked in the middle of the team, one on the left and one on the right.
Liu Jingxue walked at the end of the team.
This formation was discussed by several people last night.
Yesterday afternoon, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao came back from the town. After going to the cowshed, the brothers Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun took them aside and asked them a lot about the difficult situations in the mountains in winter.
Although the two brothers were in the army, they had undergone wilderness survival training and carried out missions in the mountains and forests, but most of them were in the south.
After all, their troops are there, guarding the peace of that area, and have never gone to the snowy north to carry out missions.
After listening to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao’s introduction of some situations, the two brothers immediately became interested in the tracking technology of Uncle Ji, the old hunter in the production team.
Although Uncle Ji is only good at tracking prey, if they learn and study it, it will be of great benefit to them in carrying out missions in the mountains and forests in the future.
Therefore, the two of them made up their minds to follow the father and son closely today and learn their skills.
When the hunting team gathered, they asked Liu Jingxue to introduce the two of them to each other and expressed their desire to learn skills.
In fact, for the production teams living in the mountains in the Northeast, the knowledge of hunting in the mountains, except for the top-secret methods of each family, is not something they mind spreading.
Otherwise, Uncle Ji would not have been so generous as to impart some hunting knowledge to the villagers.
Now the two people who asked him for advice were two PLA soldiers. They wanted to learn so that they could carry out their missions more conveniently in the future. How could Uncle Ji not agree?
He immediately agreed that the two of them could stay with him, and he would teach them everything he knew.
He also promised that the two of them could come to him for advice in the future, and that he could take them into the mountains to teach them individually.
Liu Jingxue walked at the end of the team. Looking at the two people who followed Uncle Ji closely and listened to his instructions all the time, she shook her head helplessly and released her spiritual consciousness to cover the mountains and forests.
Although the two were studying, they still remembered to pay attention to the movements around them.
After all, for them who have been trained for a long time, multitasking is a skill that must be mastered.
But Liu Jingxue, who always pursued safety, was still a little worried, so she still released her spiritual sense and paid attention to all the movements around her.
After all, before entering the mountain, the captain repeatedly asked her and her siblings to try their best to bring the people back safely. Since she had promised him, she had to do it.
In addition to this reason, Liu Jingxue also had to use her spiritual sense to detect prey in the mountains and forests, and find a way to lead Heizi to the direction where there were prey.
Fortunately, except for the two brothers Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun who are novices in winter hunting, the rest of the hunting team, even those who come to transport the prey, have gone into the mountains for winter hunting many times and can be considered experienced.
With Uncle Ji and his son, plus Heizi leading the way, and Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense cheating, the hunting team had a pretty good harvest this time.
According to the team members, they gained a lot more than the last time when Liu Jingxue was not there.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone decided to take a break and then prepare to go down the mountain.
During the break, everyone's face was filled with joy as they looked at the prey being dragged on the sled behind.
"I found that every time the hunting team went into the mountains, as long as Liu Zhiqing was there, we would have a good harvest and there would not be any danger," one team member said with emotion.
Someone else echoed, “I think so too.
Last time, when Liu Zhiqing was not there, we did not achieve much.
It hadn't snowed yet and the animals hadn't gone into hiding yet.
But today, these animals seemed to be possessed by a ghost. They didn't stay in their nests anymore and were wandering outside. What were they doing?
Now it will become our meal."
