After passing Niutou Mountain, they soon arrived at the valley where Zhou Ziwen had previously hunted the wild boar.
After crossing the river, you will reach Erdao Mountain.
Although it snowed for several days, the water in the stream was still flowing.
It was just yesterday that the snow melted, and the river water was freezing cold.
"This way."
Seeing the small river, Liu Si did not stop and led everyone upstream.
"Brother Liu, aren't we going this way? I think the river here is quite shallow." Zhou Ziwen was a little puzzled.
"When you went to Erdao Mountain, you didn't take off your shoes, did you?" Liu Si looked at Zhou Ziwen with strange eyes.
Some of the other team members around him laughed out loud.
"Is there something wrong?" Seeing their expressions, Zhou Ziwen knew that he had made a fool of himself.
But he is not from Dabazi Village, so it is normal that he is not familiar with the situation here.
"There is a road ahead. You can jump over it directly. There is no need to take off your shoes and go into the river." Liu Si was more steady and began to explain to him.
"The water is too cold in this weather. It would be a torture to go down there."
"Oh? Is there any other way?" Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up.
It seems that next time he comes to Erdaoshan, he won’t have to step across the river.
"It can be considered a road. Actually, it's just a few stones close to each other." Liu Si explained.
The location he mentioned was not far, and it only took a short while to reach the destination.
When he arrived at the place, Zhou Ziwen understood why the guards laughed at him.
Although the river water upstream is relatively deep, there are several large rocks in the river where people can stand, and the distance is very close, so any adult can jump over.
Liu Si took the lead, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang followed behind, and several other members of the guard team walked at the end.
A group of people stepped on the stones and arrived at the other side of the stream in a few steps.
This time when they went hunting, Liu Si was very enthusiastic towards Zhou Ziwen, and Zhou Chaoyang also received some care.
If he hadn't been there, why would Liu Si lead them personally?
It would be great if I could just order a team member to lead it.
"Once we've entered Erdao Mountain, everyone should speak in a lower voice so as not to disturb the prey."
After crossing the river, Liu Si turned back to remind everyone.
Of course, these words were mainly said to Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang.
Like other members of the guard team, they have been to the mountains more than once or twice, so they naturally know the rules of entering the mountains.
"Don't worry, Brother Liu, we won't do anything rash." Zhou Ziwen also understood what Liu Si meant and spoke hurriedly.
Relationships are relationships, but attitude still needs to be shown.
If they disturbed the prey, Liu Si and the others probably wouldn't say anything on the surface, but they probably wouldn't take them into the mountains in the future.
Zhou Ziwen is not one of those young people, so he naturally won't delay other people's business.
"Brother Liu, we'll just watch from the side, nothing bad will happen." Zhou Chaoyang also said from the side.
"Haha, it's not a big deal. Just be careful and don't run around." Liu Si was very satisfied after hearing what the two said, but he didn't show it on his face.
In fact, Liu Si is already in his thirties, almost forty years old. If he had married earlier, his children would be about the same age as Zhou Ziwen and others.
In his eyes, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang are just young people.
If I don't remind them, I'm really afraid they will do something bad.
For the rest of the journey, everyone spoke much more quietly, and even the members of the escort team would not speak unless it was necessary.
After walking for a while, Zhou Ziwen pointed ahead and said, "Brother Liu, there's a trap I set up ahead. Let's go check it out!"
"Okay!" Liu Si nodded.
He also wanted to see how the trap Zhou Ziwen set up worked.
Then, Zhou Ziwen led them and quickly came to the place where he had set the trap before.
As soon as he walked in, he found that his trap had been triggered.
When he went to check it happily, he found that it was empty, without even a hair.
"No, I guess it's because of the snow these two days that my trap was broken." Zhou Ziwen was not disappointed.
That's how it is when you set traps in the mountains. If you're unlucky, you often end up with nothing.
"You made a good set!"
Liu Si didn't care whether there was prey or not, his eyes were always on the trap itself.
Although he is not a professional hunter, he has his own experience in setting traps.
From his perspective, the trap set by Zhou Ziwen was definitely qualified.
Whether it was the method of trap or the choice of location, in his opinion, there was basically no problem.
"I also saw a classmate do it when I was in school and learned a little from him." Zhou Ziwen said modestly.
Although this explanation was just an excuse, he had actually read some knowledge about how to set traps in his previous life.
But people are forgetful. They forget what they have read and have never studied it seriously.
Until this era, he activated the trap-making skills from the book "Hunting Stories in Daxing'anling". As he hung up, he absorbed and digested what he had read before and became his own ability.
"That's pretty impressive too." Liu Si praised.
To be honest, he was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that Zhou Ziwen, a city man, actually understood this and did it well.
"Haha, Zhou Ziwen has a strong learning ability. Otherwise, how could he have developed the technology of growing mushrooms just by relying on the knowledge in books?" Zhou Chaoyang praised him.
"The educated youth are different. They are much more capable than us rough guys." Liu Si looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise, and the smile on his face became even wider.
"Brother Liu, please stop praising me. I'll get cocky if you continue praising me." Zhou Ziwen glanced at Zhou Chaoyang and blamed him for being too talkative.
"Haha!" Liu Si laughed, and the other members of the guard team also laughed.
"Brother Liu, I have set up a few traps ahead. Let's go and take a look!" Zhou Ziwen changed the subject.
"Okay, you lead the way. We have to go inside anyway."
Liu Si nodded in agreement. Their main purpose of going into the mountains this time was to set traps, and hunting was only secondary.
Of course, if they encounter prey, they will definitely not let it go.
Then, Zhou Ziwen led everyone to the place where he had set the trap.
Unfortunately, due to the snow, several traps were crushed.
"Hey, there seems to be something here."
When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the second-to-last place where the trap was set, he finally made a discovery.
The trap caught a pheasant, which was probably set before the snow fell. It is now dead.
But in this weather, it doesn’t matter whether it dies or not, it won’t go bad even if left for a few days.
"Haha, Ziwen, you are so lucky. You actually caught a pheasant." Liu Si said happily.
Although he didn't catch the pheasant, he was happy for Zhou Ziwen.
"Hehe, I'm just lucky." Zhou Ziwen smiled.
"Hey, kid, you are just too modest." Liu Si patted Zhou Ziwen's shoulder heavily.
He felt that Zhou Ziwen, the educated youth who went to the countryside, was good in every way except that he was too modest and lacked the boldness of a young person.
But what he didn't know was that Zhou Ziwen's mental age was not young at all. Actually, he was about the same age as him. (End of this chapter)
