If they don't find a way to hunt large wild animals in the deep mountains and drive them back into the forest, then...
At their rate of spread, it won't be long before they frequently appear on the outskirts of the forest.
If this continues, they may eventually appear in public and harm people.
Seeing how skilled Shen Mu Ning was, he wanted to recruit her into the winter hunting team.
This year's winter hunting should be much safer, and we can also take this opportunity to hunt large game.
Not only will it allow the people of Johor Bahru to have a prosperous Lunar New Year, but it will also drive wild animals back to the inner perimeter.
After hearing Cao Ding's explanation, Shen Mu Ning finally understood his intention.
"Alright, in that case, I'll join the winter hunting team and see what winter hunting in the north is like."
Cao Ding thought that since he hadn't told her the truth beforehand, she would definitely be unhappy about it if he tried to tie her to the winter hunting team.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mu Ning was not angry after hearing his ulterior motives, but instead joined the winter hunt.
"Thank you, Young Shen. I'll share my experience with you when I get back today."
Cao Ding felt reassured. As long as Shen Mu Ning was genuinely committed to joining the winter hunting team, she would definitely ensure everyone's safety.
At this moment, Gu Chengde, Cao Hua, and Wang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the three of them did not know as much about things in the deep mountains as Cao Ding, they were cadres of the Xinshan Brigade.
They know best about the winter hunting team's harvests and injuries over the past few years.
Although Cao Ding had not explicitly told them beforehand, they could guess a thing or two based on the situation of the winter hunting team.
They never imagined that the deep mountains would become so dangerous.
Judging from Shen Mu Ning's previous performance during labor, and considering the wild boar today.
Her addition is indeed a strong guarantee.
Chu Mingxu felt that this result was both reasonable and unexpected.
Cao Ding initially intended to scheme against her indirectly, thinking that even if she learned of her predicament, she wouldn't easily agree.
However, upon closer examination, one can see that Shen Mu Ning only shows no mercy to those who harbor ill intentions towards her.
However, his earlier statement about wanting to gain Cao Ding's experience was not just empty talk.
Just as Chu Mingxu was about to express his thoughts, Shen Mu Ning, who was standing to the side, asked Cao Ding.
"Uncle Cao, if you give me that experience, can I share it with others?"
Shen Mu Ning's thoughts were simple: regardless of Chu Ming Xu's motivation for striking up the conversation, it served as a reminder to her.
Now that she realized he still wanted it, she thought she might as well ask if she could give it to him.
Anyway, Chu Mingxu probably didn't want to go winter hunting, otherwise he wouldn't have gone even once in the past few years.
Cao Ding glanced at Chu Mingxu before answering her.
"Xiao Shen, once I hand this over to you, it's yours. You can give it to anyone else."
"But you have to make sure that the person using it is capable of surviving in the deep mountains, otherwise it will harm people."
This is why Cao Ding had never made it public, even though he wanted to take on disciples.
For capable individuals, this experience can be the icing on the cake, enabling them to navigate the deep mountains with greater ease.
But if you teach it to others, you're harming them.
Having these experiences alone, without the ability to subdue wild beasts and traverse deep mountains, makes one nothing more than a paper tiger.
I'm afraid they'll lose their lives after taking only a couple of steps into the mountains.
Shen Muling isn't stupid; she would only give it to Chu Mingxu.
"Don't worry, Uncle Cao, I think Chu Zhiqing is a capable person."
Even if they didn't know he was a soldier, the fact that he had just dragged a wild boar back with them without looking disheveled was enough to convince them.
Then they know exactly how capable he is.
The group understood that Chu Mingxu's abilities were indeed outstanding, so Cao Ding agreed.
This isn't some closely guarded secret; it's just something I've learned through experience from traveling extensively in the mountains.
Now that we can give them away, we naturally won't mind giving them to one more person.
Chu Mingxu looked at Shen Mu Ning in surprise. So she wanted to give it to him?
However, he also wanted to join the winter hunt. "Thank you for your generosity, Uncle Cao, but I would also like to join the winter hunt. Is that alright?"
In previous years, he didn't join simply because he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Johor Bahru brigade.
Besides, he had no idea that winter hunting would be so dangerous.
His grandparents didn't have too much of a hard life here, which is thanks to the kindness of most people in the Johor Bahru community.
Unlike the Red Guards, he never made things difficult for his grandparents.
Moreover, compared to other places, the team leaders were relatively fair in recording work points.
He didn't know before, but now that he knows their difficulties, he naturally wants to help.
Gu Chengde and the other three were naturally delighted with the addition of Chu Mingxu.
Judging from his performance today, even a fool could see how capable he is.
Although she may not be as good as Shen Mu Ning, she is still far ahead of the young and middle-aged men in their Johor Bahru brigade.
Shen Mu Ning raised an eyebrow; she really hadn't expected that he actually wanted to go winter hunting.
She thought about it carefully and realized that, according to the novel she had read before, he had nothing to do with this year's winter hunt.
The Johor Bahru team suffered heavy losses, and it seems some people died.
However, the novel's plot seems to have already deviated from its original trajectory, so this change is insignificant.
"Uncle Gu, the pig is slaughtered, it's time to divide the meat."
Once the conversation on one side ended, Cao Qi finished slaughtering and dissecting the pig.
As the group stepped forward, the people who had just formed a circle to watch obediently lined up.
Gu Chengde stepped forward and let Shen Mu Ning and Chu Ming Xu choose first, deciding which piece of meat they wanted.
“Shen Zhiqing, Chu Zhiqing, you two can choose first, but each of you cannot make more than ten catties of meat.”
Actually, the previous rule was that the person who handed over the prey could take one-tenth of it.
However, the wild boar today is too large. If the two of them take more than 30 kilograms of meat in total, some people might be envious.
Although the difference between the two people's share is not much when divided equally.
But he still had his own selfish motives; he would even be willing to try to get a little more meat for everyone.
After all, some families can't bear to buy meat all year round.
Upon hearing this, Chu Mingxu gestured for Shen Mu Ning to make her choice first.
"I want..." Just as she was about to say that she wanted ribs, a shrill female voice interrupted her.
"Why should I?" Cao Jia stood at the front of the line, her face full of jealousy as she tried to stop them.
Shen Mu Ning had previously met with the team leader and asked everyone to exchange work points for meat, and no one stopped her.
She thought that since no one would cause trouble here, she could go back soon.
Just when it seemed like the meat was about to be divided up, this troublemaker suddenly appeared.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Cao Jia, like a proud rooster, began her performance.
"Captain, isn't this meat supposed to be divided equally among everyone? How come they got more than their share?"
