In addition to the contract, he plans to build the facility into two large zones: one for the staff to live in and another for the various animals to be raised.
He has a dream: that in the future, some recreational and sports facilities can be built in the area where people live, so that as more and more people come to the station, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment here, instead of just seeing this place as a miserable mountain village.
After the timber was moved up, he planned to invite his father-in-law to make furniture for him, so that the old man could have some peace and quiet in the mountains, and he could also give him some legitimate money so that he could take it with a clear conscience.
That's how the elderly are sometimes; they're reluctant to take money directly from their children, and even if you force them to use it, they won't feel at ease or comfortable with it.
If they can feel that their work is being rewarded, they will be much more comfortable.
In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao was also over fifty years old. He knew that happiness for the elderly sometimes wasn't about how much money they had, but about feeling useful, being relied upon, and having value.
They worked hard their whole lives, and the most comfortable state for them wasn't doing nothing, but rather continuing to do what they could.
Returning to the station layout, Wang Tianxiao has a general plan in mind, but he hasn't put it into detail yet. He's been extremely busy every day lately, like a spinning top that keeps turning non-stop, and hasn't had a break yet.
He will make a detailed plan after his wife returns.
Wang Tianxiao, carrying a gun, led Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai to the place where the wood was piled up, with three dogs running happily ahead of them.
After walking about twenty meters, a strong wind suddenly howled into the distance.
Then, Dahei and Aying also started barking incessantly.
That's how dogs are. When they encounter prey they can defeat, they often swarm it. But if they face difficulties or lack confidence, they will stay by their owner's side as a guard and a show of force.
Following the gaze of the three dogs, Wang Tianxiao suddenly realized that on the opposite hillside, separated from them by the valley, three deer were watching them.
It looks like a pair of adult deer and a fawn.
Although they were separated by a valley, they were only about 30 or 40 meters away from the deer, and he could even see the deer's beautiful big eyes on the other side.
For some reason, the three deer did not panic when they saw Wang Tianxiao coming; instead, they stood quietly and waited for them.
They ignore the barking of dogs even more, perhaps because they know that dogs cannot cross valleys that are tens of meters wide.
Wang Tianxiao walked to the edge of the mountain ridge and observed it for a while. He found that this mountain ridge, like the one opposite, had an angle of about 70 or 80 degrees, making it impossible for humans and most wild animals to walk on it.
But deer can.
Deer are animals with exceptional jumping ability. They can not only run fast, jump high, and leap far, but they can also leap on cliffs with considerable verticality, just like wild goats.
Wang Tianxiao suspected that these deer, especially two of the adults, frequently came down from that ridge and ran to this ridge. The damaged gate and the deer hair and droppings left behind at the deer farm should have come from them.
"Boss Wang, shoot them!" Wu Wenhua also spotted the deer and excitedly poked Wang Tianxiao with his arm.
Wang Tianxiao thought for a moment and then decided not to take out his gun.
He felt that the deer were actually trying to communicate with the humans who had suddenly wandered into the mountains, and their goal was probably still the captured fawn.
After initial attempts, they must have realized that they couldn't forcibly take the fawn away, so they adopted other methods.
"Hit them! They'll run away soon," Wu Wenhua urged him.
"Let's go."
Wang Tianxiao didn't say much and continued walking forward.
His consistent policy toward deer was to capture them alive rather than kill them. A dead deer has limited value, but a live deer is a continuous source of wealth.
He'd let them roam free for now, and when he had some free time, he'd think of a way to catch them. He didn't mind hunting the buck if he couldn't catch it, but he really wanted the doe and the fawn.
Although the two Wu brothers were reluctant to leave, they had no choice but to follow him away.
The three dogs were much more obedient than Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai. Seeing that their master wasn't interested in the deer, they immediately stopped barking, passed the three of them, and continued to lead the way.
This was the first time Wang Tianxiao had walked leisurely through the mountain stream since his rebirth.
The first few times were at night. The only time I collected the cages during the day was because I was in a hurry and didn't have time to see the winter scenery of the mountains.
Today, instead of rushing to put away the cages, he walked relatively slowly, truly appreciating the desolation and solemnity of the mountains in winter.
The mountains in the Northwest are fundamentally different from those in the South.
Unlike the mountains in the south, where many green trees survive all year round, the mountains are either light green or lush green, with green as the base color and various other colors used as accents.
But the mountains in the northwest are different; they have four distinct seasons, and the plants and trees there also have distinct seasons.
Apart from a very small number of evergreen species, most trees lose all their leaves in winter, becoming bare. Standing on the mountaintop and looking down, the entire mountain resembles a bald head, with large patches of yellowish-brown and a few dark green pines and cypresses scattered among them.
It's now past December in the Gregorian calendar. Because the climate in the mountains warms up earlier than usual, some trees have already started to slowly sprout new buds, indicating that the new year is about to begin.
Among a large area of trees, some trees are unlucky, either because they are sick, because their bark has been gnawed off by herbivores, or because their lifespan has reached its end. After shedding their last leaf in autumn, they fall into a permanent slumber, which is death.
Many small animals that look cute or even adorable in the forest are killers of trees. There are dozens of species of rodents and more than a dozen species of weasels on the peaks of Ziwu Ridge. These creatures mostly eat tree bark, causing the trees to slowly die.
Once dead, the tree quickly rots, becoming a hiding place for ants, small animals, or snakes.
If a tree, thick enough to take several people to encircle, dies deep in the mountains, it may be hiding the true strongest creature in the entire mountain range: a black bear.
That is, black bear.
Black bears like to hide in tree hollows to spend the coldest part of winter.
They generally won't wake up unless they encounter great danger or are so hungry they can't stand it anymore.
As long as you don't make loud noises outside their hidden tree holes or cause significant vibrations to the tree trunks, it's completely safe.
And if they are woken up, the consequences would be unimaginable.
No one can fight a fully grown black bear one-on-one; their strength is simply not on the same level. Just like even the best-developed archer cannot defeat a fully armored warrior in close combat.
Black bears have very thick fur, making them virtually ineffective against sharp weapons. Even when shot, unless the bullet hits a vital spot, it's practically just a tickle.
The mountain path that Wang Tianxiao and his two companions were walking on gradually led them closer to the deepest part of the mountains.
