Wang Tianxin is young, and some recent events have shown that he is actually short-sighted and easily swayed by rumors. But when something really happens, he is willing to stand by his older brother's side.
If you keep a close eye on him and help him marry a gentle and virtuous wife, he should be able to get back on the right track.
Since it was daytime, the three of them brought the dog along.
Along the way, they encountered some villagers who were both afraid and envious of the gun on Wang Tianxiao's back and the dog beside him.
It is said that wolves have wolf genes, and even when they are not angry, they have a more imposing presence than ordinary dogs. When they pass by the door of some villagers' houses, a bunch of stray dogs tied up at the door can only lock themselves in their kennels and whimper softly.
The three dogs didn't even look at them.
Why would a dog that has fought a leopard bark at a mongrel?
As the three passed by the Cao family's house, Cao Hong was working at the door. "Grandpas, are you going to the mountains?"
"Um."
Wang Tianxiao nodded, not wanting to say too much to this person.
Just like Ah Ying and the others didn't want to communicate with the stray dogs, he was too lazy to argue with a thief, and he looked down on such petty thieves from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Tianxin and Wang Tiancheng were alright; after greeting Cao Hong, they followed closely behind Wang Tianxiao.
They had walked quite a distance when Cao Hong was still staring at the three dogs, his eyes filled with greed.
The three men and three dogs arrived in the mountains and found that the traps they had set the night before had only yielded a meager harvest; the twenty traps had only caught nine rabbits and two pheasants.
Wang Tianxin was disappointed with his poor performance, so Wang Tianxiao told him that animals aren't stupid, and some of them are smart. This kind of cage can only trap the stupid ones.
It's considered good if half of the cages yield a harvest, thanks to the fact that there are very few hunters in this mountain.
If it were the mountains where I worked in my previous life, it would take several days to catch just one bird in many cages.
Wang Tianxin then realized what was happening and became happy.
The three of them walked around and collected the wild animals. As they wandered, they came to the place where the people from Zhao Family Village had stolen timber the night before.
They discovered that the piles of food had formed a small mountain.
I counted them, and there were a total of ninety-eight pieces of wood. The thinnest piece was twenty centimeters in diameter, and the thickest piece was more than thirty centimeters.
And the trees are all valuable trees.
The most common trees are pine and birch, with a dozen or so lacquered logs mixed in.
Lacquer wood, also known as Qi wood, is a type of wood similar to rosewood, which is the wood of the lacquer tree.
This wood has a vibrant color when cut, as if it has been naturally painted on. If it is stretched into boards and made into furniture, it will be very beautiful without any further painting.
Therefore, lacquered wood is also known as small rosewood.
Its value far exceeds that of ordinary wood; this single piece of lacquered wood could fetch several hundred yuan if sold.
Lacquer wood is not normally abundant in the Northwest, but the Ziwu Ridge is a primeval forest, and somehow some lacquer wood has appeared there. However, due to the cold climate, it grows very slowly, taking decades to grow as thick as a poplar tree in three years.
It has always been a key focus of the forest farm.
Unexpectedly, more than a dozen trees were cut down by those petty thieves from Zhao Family Village. If Dai Zhixin and his men knew, they would be heartbroken.
They were all hoping to cultivate a drought- and cold-resistant variety of lacquerwood.
Wang Tianxiao roughly calculated that the nearly one hundred pieces of wood on the ground were worth more than ten thousand yuan. If they were really stolen, it would be a considerable loss.
Thinking of the trouble, I came here.
These logs belong to the public and he cannot sell them privately, but if they are left here, they will slowly rot, which is a waste of resources.
After thinking it over, he came up with an idea.
When I visited the Yangziling Station branch a few days ago, I felt that the facilities and space were a bit sparse. Why not use this wood to plan a new layout?
Anyway, no one can say anything wrong with using the timber from the forest farm for its construction.
However, the mountain road from where the logs were piled up to the platform where the substation was located was two or three kilometers long, and it was really not an easy task to move the logs one by one.
He had no choice but to keep the idea to himself for now and plan ahead after his wife gave birth.
Just as the three brothers were about to turn around and go down the mountain, Wang Tiancheng suddenly stopped and looked around.
The three dogs also darted out in a flash, quickly disappearing into the bushes, barking incessantly.
"What's wrong with the dog?" Wang Tianxin asked in surprise.
"Brother, did you hear that 'na na' sound?" Wang Tiancheng heard some unusual sounds amidst the barking of the dogs.
“No, it should be Mom… Mom…” Wang Tianxin offered a different interpretation.
In their hearts, Wang Tianxiao was a master of the mountains, so they both looked at their second brother and found that Wang Tianxiao was overjoyed and his eyes were shining.
"elder brother?"
Are you possessed?
"Keep your voice down, shh."
Wang Tianxiao quickly made a shushing gesture, putting his finger to his lips.
"That's the sound of a deer."
"A deer?!"
Wang Tianxin shouted excitedly.
"I told you to keep your voice down, but you still yelled."
Wang Tiancheng quickly covered his younger brother's mouth and complained.
But he was also very happy.
The deer herd at Ziwu Ridge is quite large, but the number of deer at Yangzi Ridge is very small; many people never see a deer in their entire lives. They rarely venture to the outer edges of the mountains, and because they are quick and agile, they are generally unkillable by the old-fashioned guns of ordinary hunters.
Hearing the deer calling here now makes the two younger brothers especially excited.
Wang Tianxiao was also very happy.
He always kept the agreement with Zhang Wenyuan in mind.
He had originally planned to wait until things settled down here before slowly going into the mountains to observe the deer's movements. Based on his experience, as long as he could find the fruits and hay that the deer liked to eat, he could follow the deer's droppings to find their dens.
In the short term, he needs to provide Zhang Wenyuan with deer blood; in the long term, deer farming is an economic aquaculture direction that he must pursue.
Although the deer market was disrupted in later generations, that was twenty years later. As long as it is managed properly, he still has at least a profit cycle of more than ten years.
That's enough.
Perhaps by then he will have become a nationally renowned deer farming center, and even if the profit per deer decreases, he can still obtain the final profit based on the number of deer.
Moreover, his ultimate ambition is to produce various deer-based medicines and health foods, developing an entire industry chain.
Wang Tianxiao gestured to his two younger brothers not to move. He followed the sound slowly forward, bypassing the mountain of wood in front of him, and continued walking for a while until he discovered a small crack in front of him.
It may be a bottomless pit caused by rain or water accumulation.
There are many small cracks like these on the mountain, and no one knows how deep they are. The mountain people call them "gorges".
Whenever it rains heavily, the water from the mountains pours down, but as soon as it passes through a gorge, it is immediately sucked in, as if this crevice is a bottomless pit that will never be filled with water.
When we were children, adults would teach us not to go near the gorge, saying that such a place leads to the eighteenth level of hell, and if a person falls in, they will never be able to climb out again.
Judging from the sound, the fawn should be stuck in the gorge.
