When they heard Yue Feng clear his throat and speak, all the gentlemen at the table in the room suddenly quieted down and gave Yue Feng a look in unison.

Earlier, when Yue Feng took the lead on behalf of his father-in-law to organize the farmer protection team and proposed to use the tree hole method to hunt the livestock coming down the mountain, there may have been many villagers of the uncles’ generation who looked down on Yue Feng’s method.

It’s just that these people, for the sake of face, just followed the crowd and didn’t raise any objections.

But after the first day of serious night duty last night, everyone present looked at Yue Feng in a different light.

Zhao Hongbo and his companion killed six wild boars in one night. This achievement was much more efficient than ordinary hunters leading hunting dogs to the mountains to hunt and surround the wild boars.

Even after deducting the various expenses for entertaining and seeing off guests, Zhao Hongbo still made at least two or three hundred yuan in net profit from the six pigs, and this was all thanks to Yue Feng’s early preparations and advice.

Yue Feng paused for half a second and said, “Last night was the first time we formally organized a group of people to stand guard in the tree den. You all saw the results. Brother Xiao Tao and I caught a 350-pound cannon egg. Brother Hongbo caught six wild boars of different sizes. The results are quite ideal.

However, during last night’s night watch, I also found some problems and areas that may need your attention and improvement. Since I haven’t drunk any alcohol yet, I will share them with you briefly!
The first point is the posture of keeping watch in a tree hole at night.

I don’t know how you all felt in the tree den last night. Anyway, I sat and leaned against the tree trunk and took a nap. My right arm was numb from being pressed down, and I completely lost all feeling in it. It took at least five minutes of knocking before I regained consciousness!

If there is any movement below at this time, there will be no time to react in time!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a villager nearby responded, “Oh my god, your arm is numb too. I also had my arm numb from being pressed last night.”

Although the tree nest is stable when I sit in the tree overnight, I always feel a little uneasy. When I take a nap, my body weight subconsciously rests on one arm. I really need to be careful! “

Seeing his fellow hunters agreeing, Yue Feng continued, “When you go on duty tonight, I suggest that you bring a small stool or a stool to simply raise your center of gravity when sitting. It should be better!
The second thing!! Last night, in the middle of the night, a blind bear came to our tree nest near Ergunianggou, but was scared away by Xiao Tao’s gunshot. It must have only scratched the skin but didn’t hit any vital parts!
In the next few days, young and old men who go up the mountain must be careful!
If it was a wild boar that was attracted, we would be safe in the tree, but bears can climb trees, and if we are careless and get hurt, it would not be worth it! ! ”

“What? Did a blind bear go to your tree den last night? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me this in the morning?!”

When Zhao Hongbo heard Yue Feng mention the blind bear, he immediately started asking with his eyes shining.

How much could six wild boars be sold for? All the money earned from working hard for a whole morning was not even as much as the gallbladder of a blind bear, not to mention the other parts of the bear such as skin, flesh, kneecaps, bear nose, etc. that could be sold for money.

We definitely can’t tell the truth about this matter, so Yue Feng played it safe and said, “I wasn’t sure it was a bear that morning.

After lunch in the morning, I went up the mountain again and mentioned it to my uncle. Then I went to the site to check the details and confirmed that it was a blind bear. I found a relatively clear footprint!

I heard from my uncle Zhao that the blind bears in this season are only focused on gaining weight and will not easily change their territories!
Therefore, there is a great possibility that even if they suffer some minor skin injuries, they will not learn their lesson and will continue to move around within a certain range!

The rotten meat I gave you to build your own nests can attract bears, so you must be careful. It’s okay if you don’t kill the bear, but don’t get hurt!”

Another villager also echoed excitedly after hearing this: “Fuck! Now that you say that, we can drink more vigorously today.

I was wondering why I heard a gunshot in the middle of the night last night. It turned out to be a blind bear!

Now every tree hole has at least one 56 rod. As long as you are not sleepy, you can easily catch a bear at close range!!”

“Hahaha, what Lao San said is right! I was originally thinking of switching shifts with Jianmin tonight, but now I can’t switch shifts. If I can fuck a blind bear during this period of time, I can make a lot of money!”

The responsibility fields had just been divided in the spring, and the villagers were not well-off yet. They had no shortage of weapons and did not have to take too many risks to have a chance to catch a blind bear. All they had to do was be alert at night and not fall asleep, and pull the trigger when they saw the prey.

Let me put it this way, even women in the militia can do this job as long as they can shoot. Apart from luck, the requirements for personal ability are extremely low.

The villagers and hunters at the tables discussed for a while, and Zhao Hongbo also said: “In order to protect the farmers in our village, Xiaofeng spent a lot of money from his own pocket to buy things, prepare food and feed the nests!
Everyone has a share in this investment, and Xiaofeng can’t be left to pay for it alone!
I just happened to kill a wild boar last night, so I am a vested interest. I am here to declare my position. I will pay you back for my share of the stinky meat, food, and hardware for the roe nest!”

At this time, we can see which side is far away and which side is near. In fact, Yue Feng had mentioned this when the matter first started. Now Zhao Hongbo took the initiative to bring it up again and took the lead in expressing his position, which is equivalent to strengthening the tone of this matter, so as to prevent others from cheating and refusing to admit their responsibility after the night shift for protecting farmers is over.

“Of course. Xiaofeng is doing things for our village, so we can’t pay for it. How about we discount all the prey we harvested during the night shifts before the autumn harvest and then share the money in proportion?”

“Okay, that makes sense! In addition to personal ability, luck also plays a role in catching prey. The more you have, the more lucky you will be!” “Haha, that’s right! We work together, so why should we be afraid of those wild animals coming down the mountain to harm the crops? In the future, we won’t be afraid of them coming, but we will be afraid of them not coming! We can kill them, eat their meat and sell it for money!!!”

……

In just a few words, the atmosphere at the table was set. Everyone was eager to fight and couldn’t wait to go to the tree nest after lunch.

At this moment, Zhao Hongbo held the five-jin leopard bone wine jar that Yue Feng brought and placed it on the edge of the table.

“My brother Xiaofeng knows that everyone will feel very cold in the second half of the night when they are on duty, so he brought a large jar of leopard bone wine from home for everyone to drink. I won’t say much about the effects of this leopard bone wine, those who understand will understand!
Thank you all for coming to my house for dinner! Now that the food and drinks are ready, let’s start the meal. What do you think, brother Xiaofeng?”

Zhao Hongbo gave Yue Feng great face and even mentioned the matter of bringing wine to the guests in public. This was equivalent to boosting his favorability on the original basis. For a while, many villagers and hunters who were not very familiar with the Yue family had a much higher opinion of the way this second son of the Yue family behaved and did things.

Yue Feng grinned and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay! The pig-killing dish my sister-in-law made is so delicious, I’m drooling just by smelling it!! Let’s start the meal!!”

“Come on, let’s eat! Eat first to fill your stomach and then drink!”

“Xiao Zhao, let everyone taste this leopard bone wine. It can dispel dampness and cold, strengthen the muscles and bones, and it is said to be able to strengthen the yang!”

“Give me a jar to try, this is a rare thing, I haven’t seen a leopard in years!”

……

Those who were greedy for wine poured themselves some wine, and those who were hungry ate some food. For a moment, the atmosphere at the table was very good.

To be fair, Yue Feng doesn’t really like this kind of occasion. If he were given a choice, he might prefer to have a meal and a drink with close relatives and friends.

But in the Northeast in the 80s, if a person wanted to gain a foothold in society, he could not rely solely on the people in the core circle. It was also very necessary to expand more connections and make more friends in the village.

In addition, Yue Feng now has all the people and guns in his hunting team, as well as motorcycles and tractors. He is definitely one of the richest and most capable people in the village. Others have come to know through contact with him that this young man has a good character and personality, and are willing to have more contact with him.

Based on this consideration, during the following lunch, Yue Feng ate meat, drank wine, bragged and chatted with these people, and they soon became friends.

The lunch lasted from almost twelve o’clock to nearly two o’clock. The five catties of leopard bone wine that Yue Feng brought were not enough, so Zhao Hongbo took a few catties of loose baskets and finally ended the battle.

At the dinner table, these people also asked Yue Feng about many details of what happened during the night watch last night. Needless to say, everyone knew that everyone was holding back and continuing to go on night watch to try their luck at catching the black bear.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Yue Feng had a full meal and a drink. He said hello to Zhao Hongbo’s elder brother and his wife, and then led the brothers of the hunting team to leave the Zhao family. After returning home, he went straight to the kang and told his mother that he would catch up on his sleep and just wake him up before dark.

After drinking, Yue Feng slept until five in the evening. It was not dark yet, but Jingjing came home from school. Yue Feng opened his eyes when he heard the noise.

I don’t know if it was the leopard bone wine that worked, but after sleeping for more than three hours, Yue Feng looked much more energetic when he woke up.

Today was the day when Grandpa Chen collected birds to deliver goods to the second canteen. Yue Feng rode his military motorcycle tricycle out of the house and headed straight for Grandpa Chen’s house.

After counting and handing over the number of birds caught by the Falcon Squadron at Uncle Chen’s house, Yue Feng stepped on the accelerator and went to the second canteen with the birds.

It is autumn now, and the breeding of various birds in the fields and villages during the spring and summer has basically ended. In recent times, a large number of birds are caught every day. On average, a young eagle handler with slightly better eagle skills can catch at least thirty sparrow-sized birds a day. The income is much more than Yue Feng had estimated before.

When I went to deliver the goods to the Second Canteen again, Master Niu urged and asked again when we would go up the mountain to trap the eagles. Ever since the snow melted in spring, Yuefeng started to build houses and put the eagles in cages. The Second Canteen has not had a stable supply of fresh game such as flying dragons, pheasants and rabbits for several months.

Thinking that the large blue kite and the bold native kite on the mountain were also reaching the end of their molting period, Yue Feng only said that the supply could be gradually restored once the autumn harvest began.

The income from the second canteen of the coal mine cannot be given up, as it is Yue Feng’s basic foundation.

After the check-in and check-out at the Second Canteen was completed, Yue Feng rode his army scooter back home. At this time, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Xiaotao, who had eaten and drunk their fill, were already waiting at home. (End of this chapter)
