796: Deer Farm
He always wondered when he could go see his son, but firstly, he never had the time, and secondly, he was worried about how he would look like this, not knowing how to face his son and Shen Ci.
Now after hearing Xiao Wu's story, and knowing that Xiao Wu and the girl he loved were separated by death and could not even be recognized as his own son, Yu Zhengxian suddenly had an urge to meet the mother and son while there was still a chance.
At least, go see your son.
After this idea came into my mind, it kept jumping around in my mind.
However, he never found an opportunity to go to the capital.
He once mustered up the courage to ask for leave from the forest farm, saying he wanted to go to the capital, but every time he encountered something that hindered his trip.
So it was delayed again and again.
In the end, I suspected that maybe it was God's will, maybe God deliberately didn't let him go, so the thoughts that were jumping in my heart finally slowly returned to calm.
Yu Zhengxian stopped struggling and stayed in the forest farm with peace of mind.
Towards the end of the year, Yu Zhengxian planned to go into the mountains and forests to hunt some wild animals to improve the food for the forestry workers.
After large-scale logging in the mountains in the past two years, the vegetation has gradually become sparse, and there are fewer and fewer animals in the forest. It is difficult to see traces of roe deer, deer, etc. Only pheasants and rabbits can still be caught.
Yu Zhengxian carried a hunting rifle and planned to take Xiao Wu into the mountains, walk a little further, and see if he could shoot anything.
After walking for a long time, we came to a dense forest and only caught some small wild animals.
Just when the two were about to give up and prepare to return to the camp, suddenly a colorful shadow jumped past them in the snow.
It’s a beautiful sika deer!
Yu Zhengxian was so excited that he didn't have time to think and loaded his hunting rifle.
"Bang!"
There was a gunshot, and the bullet flew out of the barrel and hit the deer's leg.
The fawn that was just running and jumping fell directly into the snow.
The hunting dog Heidou rushed towards the prey and bit the fawn on its wound.
The fawn made a mournful sound.
Yu Zhengxian put away his hunting rifle:
"Go and take a look."
The two men ran quickly to the fawn and saw the hunting dog tearing the fawn with its teeth bared. Somehow, they suddenly felt a little bit sorry for it.
At this time, the hunter will usually shoot the deer again to make the deer die more quickly.
However, Yu Zhengxian did not shoot, but called out to the hound:
"Hei Dou, get out of the way!"
Hei Dou seemed a little reluctant, whimpering softly, and let go of the deer leg.
Blood flowed out from the place where the bullet hit the deer's leg, and fell on the white snow, which was very eye-catching.
The fawn kept whining and trying to struggle. Its bright eyes looked at the two hunters, wet and misty, as if begging.
Yu Zhengxian and Xiao Wu squatted down in front of Xiaolu, and Xiao Wu suddenly said:
"etc."
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Wu didn't answer. He took off his gloves, touched Xiaolu's belly, kneaded it a few times, and then put his gloves back on.
"This deer is pregnant."
Xiao Wu used to live in the mountains with an old Oroqen hunter. At that time, the old hunter also raised a few deer, so Xiao Wu was very familiar with the living habits of deer and what it was like for a deer to be pregnant.
Yu Zhengxian had also hunted this kind of pregnant fawn when he was hunting before, but he only discovered it when he was skinning it. This was the first time he knew that the fawn was pregnant before hunting.
Looking at Xiaolu's pleading eyes, Yu Zhengxian softened his heart:
"Forget it, let's not eat this piece of meat."
He himself had children, so he couldn't bear to kill the fawn knowing that it was pregnant.
Xiao Wu looked at the deer's bleeding wound and said:
"If we let it go like this, it might fall into the wolf's mouth again. Let's take it back."
"Then take him back. Take him back and heal his wounds. We'll talk about it after the falcon is born."
Yu Zhengxian touched the deer's back:
"Don't be afraid, we won't kill you. We'll take you down the mountain, heal your wounds, and let you give birth to a fawn."
The fawn seemed to understand and called out again.
Yu Xiaoye picked up the fawn, which weighed almost 60 kilograms, in his arms, and carried it all the way down the mountain back to the forest camp.
A medical worker was found in the camp to remove the bullet from the fawn and bandage its wound. Yu Zhengxian was worried that the forestry workers would secretly hunt the fawn, so he took the deer back home and lived with it.
After raising it for a few days, the fawn was able to stand up and move freely. Yu Zhengxian drove the deer to Lao Wu's yard and asked Lao Wu's wife to take care of it.
At the same time, they expanded an area around their yard and built a deer pen for the deer to move around in.
The following year, in May of the Gregorian calendar, the fawn gave birth to cubs.
And gave birth to a pair!
Xiao Wu looked at the two healthy fawns and smiled for the first time:
"It's rare, so rare."
Yu Zhengxian doesn’t understand:
"What's the meaning?"
"Fawns usually only give birth to one at a time, and it's rare for them to give birth to two. We unexpectedly encountered one."
"Really? It seems like this is a good thing. Is this a good omen?"
They didn't know whether this was a good sign or not, but they were certain at this point that they would never hunt these three deer.
Not only do I not kill myself, I also never allow others to kill.
In order to protect the three fawns and prevent them from being targeted by others, they simply kept them.
In order to give the fawns enough space to move around, they expanded the deer pen.
A few months later, in autumn, the mating season for deer, the two men looked at the lonely doe and suddenly had an idea to find a companion for her, so that they could perhaps give birth to a few more fawns.
The two men took dry food and went into the mountains to search. After searching for seven days, they really found two fawns, a male and a female.
They drove the two deer back to the forest and expanded the deer enclosure again to form a small deer enclosure.
group.
The buck successfully impregnated two does.
The following year, the two doe deer each gave birth to two healthy fawns. By this time, there were seven fawns in the deer pen.
By this time, the work of raising deer had become quite arduous, and they probably couldn't handle it on their own. Yu Zhengxian used all of his salary to raise deer.
The money is easy to deal with, but I don’t have enough time and energy to take care of it.
Yu Zhengxian thought for a while and decided to apply to the bureau to set up a deer farm.
He discussed the matter with Director Jiang, who thought the proposal was good and took Yu Zhengxian to the bureau to apply.
After some negotiations, the Forestry Bureau actually agreed to let them set up a deer farm in the forest.
Thus, these seven fawns became the assets of the forest farm. The forest farm provided money and manpower to raise the deer, and they no longer had to worry about employees secretly slaughtering these fawns.
After the deer farm opened, Yu Zhengxian no longer took care of the work at the forest farm, and focused on the deer farm with Lao Wu, Xiao Wu and their family.
They went into the mountains one after another and found some healthy wild deer, brought them back and raised them in the deer farm.
Soon, the number of fawns doubled, from the initial seven to seventeen, and then to twenty-seven. Within a few years, the number exceeded one hundred.
