Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Chapter 516: Prepare for the First Snow

Yue Feng walked across the yard and into the house with curiosity.

The door of the next room was not closed, and I could see what was going on inside through the crack.

Brother Hu was holding the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and coaxing him softly. Next to him was the aunt who took care of the baby’s daily life whom he had met last time.

Tiger’s wife, wearing loose home clothes, stood by and did nothing.

“Aunt, sister-in-law! Is it the end of the confinement period? Is it inappropriate for me to enter the house?!”

Yue Feng asked while standing outside the room, knowing the rules very well.

“It’s Xiaofeng who’s here. He’s out of confinement now, and the baby is a bit annoying! I’ll get you some water!”

The aunt whom I met last time knew Yue Feng, and came out to serve him some water.

Brother Hu was coaxing the child nearby. It would have been better if he didn’t pat or shake the child. The busier he was, the louder the child made noises, and Yue Feng felt like his voice was almost hoarse from crying and he was out of breath.

The Wang family has only one son for generations, and children are precious. It took a lot of effort to have this precious son. It is normal for Wang Hu to attach great importance to him.

Yue Feng sat in the outer room, drinking tea patiently for about ten minutes. The baby got tired of crying and slowly calmed down.

After a few minutes, Brother Hu put the child on the crib and tiptoed out of the inner room.

“When was the baby born?” Yue Feng asked.

“August 18th! This brat is almost tormenting me and your sister-in-law to death! He cries day and night!” Wang Hu said a little exhausted.

“August? Isn’t the due date September?” Yue Feng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the birth date.

Because this baby was conceived by drinking medicinal wine, Yue Feng specifically asked about the due date last time. I remember it very clearly that Wang Hu said the due date was September.

“She gave birth before the due date, and the baby was premature. She weighed only 1.5 pounds and 4.7 ounces when she was born! You didn’t see how she looked when she was just taken out of the delivery room. She was like a skinny little monkey!” said Wang Hu.

“Why don’t you stay in Yanjing and take care of yourself? After all, the conditions there must be better than here! The last few times I came here, your house was always locked and you weren’t at home!” After listening, Yue Feng continued to ask curiously.

“Don’t even mention it, the original plan was to keep him in Yanjing!

The child was born prematurely, and my dad’s friend helped to do the math, saying that this child would be full of disasters in our family, and that there was some mysterious restraint or something!

The best way is to raise the baby in the place where it was conceived and then go back after it is three years old. This will be safer.

Then my dad called and took a special train to send me back!”

After listening to Wang Hu’s explanation, Yue Feng nodded.

This kind of thing is very mysterious. Yue Feng doesn’t understand the ins and outs of it, but he has enough awe for it.

After all, Yue Feng had personally experienced rebirth with all his memories, so it was normal for a newborn to have some explanations.

“How is my nephew’s health? Is he healthy?” Yue Feng nodded and continued to ask.

“It’s OK, but I’m a little thin in all aspects of my body. The pediatrician checked me out, and all indicators are normal!”

“That’s fine! I didn’t know you were back. I didn’t bring anything when I came here today. Bring some food back to help my nephew and my sister-in-law make up for the shortfall!”

“It’s good to have this intention, and there is nothing missing at home!
You don’t know, my dad is very worried about this precious baby.

He used to ignore me. If I wanted to earn some money, I had to deal with some bills. Now, all the expenses of the family are reimbursed by the old man. He sends people to deliver things to my home every now and then!
It’s just that he has a lot of things to do, otherwise, the old man would have wanted to move his office to the Northeast!

By the way, have you sorted out the things you did at the Jianjun unit a while ago?”

Wang Hu must have had some private contact with Ye Jianjun and knew that Yue Feng was helping to train eagles at Ye Jianjun’s unit.

Yue Feng nodded: “I guess so! There were some problems in the middle, there were two idiots…”

Yue Feng and Wang Hu were not shy about mentioning the conflict between the Li family’s father and son, as well as the subsequent fight and so on.

“Let me call Jianjun, can you add some code? You dare to bring people to block you, you must be tired of living!”

Wang Hu was quite angry after hearing this. After all, Yue Feng could be considered the benefactor of his Wang family. The birth of the little guy was all thanks to Yue Feng.

At the beginning, Wang Hu said that if he really had a son, he would become sworn brothers with Yue Feng. Although they haven’t done that yet, the relationship between the two brothers is definitely close enough.

Hearing that Yue Feng had suffered a loss outside, Wang Hu was quite indignant.

“Hey, no need! Brother Jun got so angry that he even brought his immediate superior, Director Qian, up to the gang!
I don’t know the specific outcome, but the father and son of the Li family will most likely be put behind bars!”

“Since he has done it, that’s fine! We are brothers, so there is no need to hide anything. The same goes for my relationship with Jianjun. If he opens his mouth, he has to hold his nose and do it! After all, we are helping Jianjun to teach the eagle a lesson at the airport. It will be a disaster if he is bullied!!” “Hehe, this trip was not in vain! In addition to training eagles and so on, I also used the big black eagle to catch a lot of swans on the river beach of Songjiang. I brought back a few when I came back. I will come again tomorrow and stew one for my sister-in-law to try!”

“Row!”

……

The two brothers chatted in the outer room for a while. Yue Feng saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye and left.

After all, there are a mother who just finished her confinement and her nephew who was born prematurely and has a weak constitution in the house. It is not appropriate to disturb them for a long time.

When walking out the door, Yue Feng heard the little guy crying again.

Yue Feng still felt a little uncomfortable with the child’s crying, as if something was wrong. However, he did not know any medical knowledge. Brother Hu said that the child was healthy, so Yue Feng did not think much about it. He got on his motorcycle and quickly rushed home.

The next day, Yue Feng brought a whole plucked swan and six carefully selected flying dragon birds to Brother Hu.

Having a baby is a big deal, so sending some wild game as a nourishment is Yue Feng’s way of showing his appreciation.

In the next few days, Yue Feng’s pace of life slowed down again.

When he has nothing to do, he takes the black and white eagles for a stroll in the woods behind the mountain. In the evening, he delivers game to the second canteen. After dinner, when he has nothing to do, he goes to his father-in-law’s house to spend some time with his wife.

It is worth mentioning that with the continuous breakthroughs of Yue Feng, the local hooligan, the couple’s “intimacy” has skyrocketed, and there is only the last layer of firewall that has not been broken. Their relationship is as sweet as honey, and they often go out together, making others envious.

After waiting for a few more days, Yue Feng finally got back the thick top layer of cowhide and some special needles and threads that he had asked Li Li to help him buy.

Yue Feng retrieved his things and rode his bike to the farm on the mountain early the next morning.

A whole piece of thick cowhide, a leather cutting knife, a special hole puncher, sewing needle and thread and other items used in leather making are all in place. Yue Feng, a skilled leatherworker, starts making cowhide protective gear with the on-site cooperation of Meiqiu, the ADHD model.

Use a tape measure to measure the actual size, cut it into roughly suitable samples according to the size with calendar paper, and then use simple tests on the fabric to adjust some of the data errors of the sample.

After the key parts of the sample are adjusted and polished, Yue Feng cuts the leather according to the size of the sample, cuts down the thick first-layer cowhide, punches holes, and then sews and connects them according to a certain method.

Coal balls are relatively large, and this set of protective gear also has to take into account the size of the bear cubs as they continue to grow, so the production process takes a relatively long time.

Yue Feng has made many revisions to the design, trying his best to ensure that the design can not only meet the protection effect, but also ensure that as the body grows, it can adapt to the new body growth by disassembling a small amount of activity areas, thus increasing the wearing tolerance as much as possible.

It took a whole week of free time during the day before Meiqiu’s drawstring cowhide bellyband and two-section cowhide waistcoat were officially completed.

The remaining leather scraps were not wasted, and Yue Feng sewed pure cowhide collars for several dogs.

The wolf-blood hound and Coal Ball, the black blind man, are definitely a major upgrade of their equipment.

The protective gear is ready, and the next step is to consciously help the bear cub wear it and get used to it.

By this stage, Uncle Zhao was very experienced.

When I first wore it for the first few times, it was mainly for initial adaptation and gradual desensitization, so there was a relatively large amount of strap left. After Coal Ball put it on for a short period of adaptation, I resumed playing without the protective gear on my body.

In the following days, Uncle Zhao only needed to shrink the straps a little bit every few days. When he was free, he would use grease to maintain the cowhide protective gear, so that it would become softer and fit the body shape as it was worn.

Before I knew it, half a month had passed since I returned from the airport. The north wind was getting stronger and the temperature was dropping sharply.

After this period of cold autumn wind, the broad-leaved trees and bushes in the mountains and forests have basically lost all their leaves. The leaves all over the mountains and forests are blown by the autumn wind, making rustling sounds.

This is the crispy leaves that the mountain people often talk about.

The leaves on the trees rustled and the ground rustled. As the leaves fell, the visibility in the forest improved to a certain extent. It was time to go into the mountains to hunt.

The autumn harvest was completed early, and some of the impatient mountain people were organizing small teams to go into the mountains to hunt, but Yue Feng was not too anxious.

It is too dangerous for Xiang Ye to go into the mountains. It will make a lot of noise and it will be difficult to chase the prey. Now the team has daily income from falconry, four wolf-blooded dogs are in the mountains, and Uncle Zhao goes out hunting every now and then, so there is no shortage of meat. Yue Feng is not in a hurry to go up the mountain.

He is waiting, waiting for the first snow on the mountain!
After more than ten days, the long-awaited snow finally came.

The night before, the weather forecaster’s beautiful voice came over the radio.

That night, heavy snow came.

Heavy snow fell all night. When he opened the door in the morning, the snow at the door was already above his ankles. Yue Feng roughly checked and found that the average thickness of the snow that fell last night was more than 15 centimeters.

As the saying goes, when it snows, it is the golden time to go hunting in the mountains.

Yue Feng, Xiao Tao and the others were ready to go. They had packed all their equipment and were waiting for the snow to freeze hard. They were ready to go into the mountains with their horses, men and dogs for the first time in winter and have a good fight. (End of this chapter)
