Crash!
The faces of the villagers present all changed when they heard the words "mountain guardian".
Especially when he heard Lin Huowang follow the captain Lin Jianguo's words.
After taking on the position of mountain watcher, many people frowned even more.
You know, it's not just Linjiagou.
Almost all of the mountain guards from the dozen or so production teams nearby could not survive more than three years and eventually died on the mountain.
As a result, there were more than 30 production teams under the jurisdiction of the entire commune.
Now, I'm afraid, there are only three or five mountain guards left.
The few remaining mountain guards are all experienced and cautious old hunters.
There were quite a few young people there in the past, some of them were educated youth from the city.
Seeing the advantage of mountain rangers being able to hunt and eat meat freely, they rushed to become mountain rangers.
But in the end, without exception, few prey were caught.
Instead, they themselves all ended up in the beast's stomach.
A few elderly men couldn't bear to watch and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Lin Huowang to stop.
"Awang! Not everyone can be a mountain ranger. And your feet... you can't even walk smoothly on flat ground, how can you climb a mountain?"
"You don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is! If you just guard the mountain, you will lose your life!
Our village hasn’t had a mountain keeper for three years. The previous one was my cousin.
Tsk tsk! What a tragic death! In the middle of winter in the mountains, a blind bear ate him and only half of his body was left.”
"Listen to my advice, Awang! Hurry up and admit your mistake to the captain, and hand over half of the food, and then this matter will be over!
Don't mention the matter of the mountain guard anymore, you still have a mother and sister to support!"
…
When Lin Huowang heard the kind words of advice from several people, he bowed to them and said sincerely:
“Thank you for your kindness, uncles.
But look at the current situation of my family. Is there any way for me to survive if I don’t become a mountain guard?
Maybe after I become a mountain ranger and hunt a few wild boars, roe deer and the like, my life will get better.
By then, I might be able to send some meat and vegetables to the uncles to eat with their wine!"
"You! You are still too young.
Is hunting that easy?
If it were that easy, every household in our village would have eaten meat long ago.”
"That's right! Awang, let's not talk about anything else.
You know, these days, even a tiger will run away from a hungry wild boar."
"You kid really are...
You must be crazy about meat!
You are courting death!"
…
Seeing that they could not persuade Lin Huowang, they could only shake their heads and give up.
Seeing that Lin Huowang was so "obstinate", Lin Jianguo was overjoyed and immediately said to Lin Huowang:
“The forest fire was raging, and so many villagers testified.
You are now the mountain keeper of our Linjiagou. You have to go up the mountain for patrol at least once every half a month.
Fill in the mountain ranger's patrol notes, record the changes in the plants and animals on the mountain, as well as some abnormal situations.
If you are assigned a task to be a mountain guard, you must cooperate in its execution immediately.
There is one more thing I want to make clear. After you become a mountain keeper, you won't have to work in the fields with a group anymore.
But your family will not get any share of the team's food and work points.
Don’t you think you are very capable? I want to see how much game you can hunt in the mountains…”
Captain Lin Jianguo explained the rights and obligations of mountain guards to Lin Huowang in detail.
In his opinion, if one dared to go into the mountains once, there would be no possibility of coming back because of the raging forest fires.
The mountains in winter are like man-eating monsters.
In this way, there is no need to do anything yourself. Lin Huowang will only bring about his own death.
"Then don't worry about it, Captain. I will take on the responsibility of being the mountain guard.
But, the production team should have provided hunting rifles to the mountain guards, right? I will go to the team headquarters to get them later. "
What Lin Huowang wanted was the mountain ranger's hunting rifle.
Without a gun in his hand, even if his body recovered to normal, he would be no match for the wild beasts in the mountains.
In his previous life, he was a model soldier in the special operations battalion and won three consecutive championships in sniping.
Lin Huowang is confident that as long as he has a gun in his hand, no prey can escape his bullet.
"Haha! Okay! Isn't it just a shotgun?
You don't really think that you can kill prey with a shotgun, do you? "
Lin Jianguo really "admired" Lin Huowang's mysterious confidence.
As the production team leader who witnessed the deaths of three mountain guards, he knew it all too well.
In the vast mountains, an old-fashioned hunting rifle like this cannot provide much security.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many mountain guards dying one after another at the hands of beasts.
The Zhang father and son, who had just been humiliated by Lin Huowang, jumped out of the crowd and started to ridicule him upon seeing this.
"You stupid cripple! You can't even walk steadily, and you still want to go into the mountains to hunt? You're just like a toad trying to stand on a table. You're overestimating your own abilities."
“Just because you picked up two rabbits, you think you can hunt?
If the mountain god sneezes, you won’t even know how you died.”
…
Zhang Fugui even pulled Zhang Erzhu aside and whispered with smugness:
"Erzhu, this is a great thing!
By then, when the forest fire gets strong enough, they will go into the mountains and die.
Dad will bring you here and marry that Zhiqing Liu.
You are more or less the second brother of the dead cripple.
Your younger brother died, and you married his wife to take care of her. No one can blame you."
"Really? Dad! That's great.
I only want Liu Zhiqing, I don’t want any other woman.
