Chapter 96 Going up the mountain
When the village chief of Mantun, Du, saw Liu Qingqing, his face was full of wrinkles with smile.
Their village is having a better time this year than in previous years, all thanks to the purchaser Liu.
"Uncle Du, get in the car quickly. It's so cold, why are you waiting at the village entrance?" Liu Qingqing opened the car door and greeted him.
Village Chief Du grinned, "Not cold, not cold at all."
When we drove all the way to the brigade headquarters, the processed meat pieces were already prepared and neatly frozen in several large vats.
In Wuning, people use big vats to freeze things.
In addition to keeping it clean, the most important thing is to prevent rats.
Don't think there are no mice in winter.
They can be found wherever there is food.
The surface of the vat was so slippery that neither rats nor weasels could get in.
All the wild game hunted in Mantun belongs to the brigade headquarters.
Therefore, it is very simple to load the goods onto the truck, and there is no need to settle accounts with each household.
The money just needs to be paid to the village.
Before the New Year, the village would give money notes to each household.
The moisture in the frozen meat will be frozen inside the meat and will not evaporate, which will increase the weight of the meat. Therefore, when purchasing, the weight will be reduced.
When she was about to leave, the village chief's daughter held her tightly and wanted to take her to the mountains to look for prey.
I really picked it up.
These girls would not go too far into the mountains, they just helped pick up the fish near the traps nearby.
Liu Qingqing was also very interested. She heard that they didn't go deep into the mountains.
She, who cherishes her life, also became interested.
In fact, she had been curious about hunting for a long time.
I was tempted and asked the village chief next to me, "Uncle Du, can I go and take a look together?"
Village chief Du frowned as soon as he heard his youngest daughter speak.
It sounded like Liu Qingqing also wanted to go, so he was a little hesitant, even though they were all mainly there to check for traps.
Girls from the village also often go there.
But isn’t this because Liu Qingqing has a different identity?
He has to be careful. If he encounters any wild beast, no one can guarantee the safety of Purchaser Liu.
Captain Xu came over and said, "Old Du, let my son take those guys, including Gedatou and Dongzhi, with him. Nothing will go wrong."
Village Chief Du nodded and said, "Okay, you can go, but don't go up the mountain. Especially Hanni (the village chief's daughter), don't show off."
Hanni frowned: "I know, Dad, please don't call me by my nickname outside."
Village chief Du shook his head helplessly and watched the group of people leave. He then returned to the team headquarters to look at the cart.
He must keep an eye on this lump of iron and don't let the village hooligans touch it.
Liu Qingqing followed the others all the way north. On the way, Hanni kept chattering, "Sister Liu, don't worry. There are only footprints and no living things on the side we are going to."
Liu Qingqing: ...
"Have you ever been attacked by wild beasts?"
Hanni shook her head: "No, I've only seen the ones in the pits. Sometimes they're still breathing, and sometimes they're dead."
The lump-headed boy came over and said, "Hanni has never been to the mountains. We know that wolves often roam the mountains in the winter. They stare at people without blinking, which is really scary."
Dongzhi was unhappy about being robbed of the limelight and pushed the knotty-headed guy away: "What's that? We have seen blind bears before, but we can't see them now. They don't come out in winter."
Liu Qingqing backed off. Oh my god! There were wolves and bears.
She had only seen these things in the zoo and was afraid to see them jumping around in the wild.
Liu Qingqing: "Why don't I just take a look at the foot of the mountain and then go back."
Du Jiang, the son of the village chief, was leading the way. He held a spear-like weapon in his hand. He turned around and glared at the two men as they talked nonsense. "Don't listen to their nonsense. They know nothing. They only heard what Fourth Grandpa said."
Dongzhi was unhappy about being exposed: "It wasn't me who said it first, it was Gedatou who said it first."
The lump-headed man pushed him and said, "I told you I knew it, but you're the one bragging. You even said you saw it, but you didn't see anything."
Liu Qingqing: ...
