Zhang Shuzhen didn't have time to look at the tickets. She quickly opened the pot, took out the rice she had left in it, and fed it to her son while it was still hot.
Sheng Xiping and her mother chatted while she ate.
Zhang Shuzhen couldn't help but inquire about how much money the brown bear had made and how the profits were divided. Then she asked her son what his plans were for tomorrow.
Sheng Xiping answered whatever his mother asked.
The meal was finished in no time. Sheng Xiping packed a lot of things into a large backpack, then told Zhang Shuzhen that he wouldn't be back that night, and left.
Not only Sheng Xiping, but also Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo, Gao Haining and others did the same. They went home, packed up their dry food, pots, lunch boxes, leather rugs and other things, put them in bundles, and went out.
It was the same group of people who had gone into the mountains together this morning. Everyone had prepared their supplies, especially ammunition, and they were all quite well-prepared. So, full of confidence, they followed Sheng Xiping into the mountains.
As for the others, some wandered around in the mountains for half a day without finding anything, while others went into the mountains to hunt and haven't returned yet.
Sheng Xiping couldn't control that, since not every time could there be as many as yesterday's pigs.
The group entered the mountains around 3 p.m., and then, about a mile and a half away from the large running basket, they found a sheltered, sunny spot and began to build their shelter.
More than ten people eventually built two shacks, which were covered with birch bark and wormwood to keep out the wind and rain.
First, a layer of branches was laid on the ground, then a thick layer of grass, and finally, the leather rugs that Sheng Xiping and the others brought from home were laid on top.
They are usually made of roe deer skin, bear skin, or jackal skin, which are moisture-proof and cold-proof, so even if you sleep in the wild, you won't get sick from dampness.
It was mid-April, but it wasn't as cold as the dead of winter, so instead of lighting a fire inside the shack, the people gathered a fire outside.
Then we cooked some dried meat and other things in a hanging pot to make a soup, and everyone took out the dry food they brought from home and ate some.
After eating and drinking their fill, and as darkness fell, the fire outside remained burning. Everyone went inside the hut to rest and wait patiently.
No one knew what kind of beast had come this time. Anyway, there were about ten of them, all carrying semi-automatic guns and with plenty of ammunition, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Nights in the mountains aren't so romantic.
The wind whistled through the trees, and the occasional cooing of owls echoed from the mountains. In the distance, there seemed to be the sounds of some wild beast, hooting and howling.
Or, suddenly a large bird flies across the sky, flapping its wings and making a whooshing sound.
To be honest, people who are easily frightened should really not stay in the woods at night; it really tests one's mentality and courage.
Fortunately, Sheng Xiping and a few others were experienced and took it calmly. In addition, with a large group of people, the others were also more at ease and didn't scare themselves unnecessarily.
In such an environment, very few people can actually fall asleep.
Everyone just closed their eyes and stared blankly, their ears practically perked up, listening intently to the slightest sounds outside, trying to discern whether some wild animal was approaching the basket.
Suddenly, a series of "ooh ooh" sounds came from afar, and everyone's hearts skipped a beat—it was a wolf.
