“The snow frog is not afraid of the cold! It has golden lines on its body and can move on ice in winter!

The body secretes a special substance! It is said to be active in the Changbai Mountains! That’s about all the information, right? “

Yue Feng carefully summarized and repeated the information mentioned by Wang Hu.

While asking, I was also sorting out the memories in my mind.

Changbai Mountain covers a thousand miles, and there are countless rare things in the deep mountains and old forests.

But many places are old forests that are rarely visited by humans, and no one has set foot in them for hundreds or even thousands of years.

There are records in ancient medical books, which proves with a high probability that this thing may exist.

However, there are huge gaps in the relevant intelligence, and it is impossible to reach a definite conclusion based on the current information.

“Yes… that’s probably the effective content! Have you heard of this golden thread snow clam?”

Wang Hu’s voice was low but somewhat hurried, full of anticipation.

“Never heard of it! This thing should be a special mutant individual. I have never heard of it since I was a child!” Yue Feng said truthfully.

“Well… no matter if we can find it or not, we should always try.

I won’t say anything polite to you, just consider it as a favor to you buddy! We have a relationship and we’ll be the backup!

At this critical moment, if we have one more team of people, we may have more opportunities!
Even if the chances are slim, I have to mobilize all my connections to try to find him for my baby’s sake!”

Wang Hu said somewhat frustratedly.

“Okay, I’ll put aside my hunting plans on the mountain and bring people into the mountains to help you find it!

Don’t worry, as long as there is news, I will call you as soon as possible!”

“Yes! Please, brother, I…”

“Okay, no more polite words, I will definitely try my best!
Let’s do this for now. I’ll go find someone to get the news, and then gather everyone back into the mountains tomorrow morning!”

After hanging up the call, Yue Feng scratched his head in confusion.

This kind of strange and bizarre thing in the legend would definitely not appear in a random place like doorstep. If it really existed, it would have been discovered long ago.

While he was thinking and analyzing various possibilities, Wang Xiaona next to him asked with concern: “Is the thing Brother Hu asked you about very rare? Do you plan to take people to look for it?”

Yue Feng nodded: “Yes! His son was born prematurely and has congenital lung deficiencies. He needs this thing to save his life!

Whether it’s public or private, I will do my best to help!”

“Changbai Mountain is so large, where are you going to find it?

I have no objection to you helping your friends, but you must be adequately prepared and pay attention to your own safety!

Our wedding date has been set, and I’m waiting for you to marry me in the twelfth lunar month!”

Wang Xiaona spoke in a low voice but with a firm tone.

When she talked about waiting for Yue Feng to marry her, she tightly grasped Yue Feng’s hand with her fingers, and her concern was self-evident.

Yue Feng nodded: “Don’t worry, your boyfriend is an old hand who has been in the forest for more than a year. Besides, we are a hunting team, and we will help each other, so there will be no danger!
So, I’ll go first and ask the two Uncle Zhaos at the village entrance and on the mountain if they have heard of this thing. If they can give some direction, it’s actually not as difficult to find as we thought!
I’m leaving, you stay at home and behave yourself!”

While speaking, Yue Feng lowered his head and gently kissed Wang Xiaona on the forehead, then opened the door and walked outside.

After leaving Wang Jianguo’s gate, Yue Feng went straight to Uncle Zhao’s house at the entrance of the village.

As one of the oldest hunters in the village with rich hunting experience, Uncle Zhao knows much more than younger people like Yue Feng.

When catching sables, Uncle Zhao gave some advice and pointed out the right place, and the Yuefeng hunting team had a great harvest that time.

When we went to hunt the tiger cub last year, the reminder given by Uncle Zhao played a significant role.

Now Yue Feng wants to help Wang Hu find the golden-threaded snow frog. If Uncle Zhao can give him some information, maybe he can turn the tide again.

With some anticipation, Yue Feng went directly to Uncle Zhao’s house at the entrance of the village.

There was no need for polite greetings when entering the door. Yue Feng went straight to the point and asked the question of finding this golden-thread snow clam. After thinking for a long time, Uncle Zhao shook his head.

“I have been hunting in the mountains with my father since I was fifteen. I have seen pure white foxes, heard of flying snakes, and even seen eagles that can catch roe deer.

But I have never heard of this thing called golden line snow clam you mentioned. I have never heard of anything like it!” Uncle Zhao said with a very affirmative tone.

“This thing is a special variant of the wood frog. It is said that it can move above the ice and secretes some special mucus-like substance on its body surface.

If you were to judge, where do you think I would have a higher chance of finding this thing?” Yue Feng continued to ask.

“A mutant of the wood frog? Then we have to start with the basic living environment of the wood frog!
You have also done the job of catching wood frogs. These creatures wake up after the spring thaw and actively forage for food and reproduce in the mountains and forests. Before the winter freezes, they will burrow under the water to hibernate!
If the mutated golden line snow frog has similar habits to the forest frog, then you need to search in large and small mountain stream water bubble areas!

You just said that this thing is not afraid of freezing in winter and can move on the ice!

So what is the significance of its activities?
Looking for something to eat?
The main food of the forest frog is various small and medium-sized insects in the mountains and forests. Everything is frozen in winter. What does the golden line snow frog eat on the ice?
What if you’re not looking for food?
Under what circumstances would it not stay under the warm underwater ice but crawl out of the ice?

Could it be avoiding being hunted by natural enemies?

If so, what kind of creature would go under the ice and hunt these toads?
Although we have never heard of or seen this special creature, we can make certain reasonable inferences based on common sense, and we can also get a lot of useful information!”

Uncle Zhao is worthy of being Uncle Zhao. With just a few words, he analyzed many problems that Yue Feng had not realized before.

“It should be difficult to find food. Something that is not afraid of the cold in temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero is definitely not something that the golden line snow frog can easily hunt!

The forest frog is not very big, so even if it has mutated, its size should not be too exaggerated!
As for what exactly I came out for, I don’t know and I can’t think of it!”

Although Yue Feng has some advantages as a human being in two lives, he is not an omniscient and omnipotent god, and the discussion has reached a deadlock.

Uncle Zhao took a few more puffs from his pipe, pondered for a while and said, “If you want to help find this golden thread snow clam.

I suggest you not to fight alone before you have accurate intelligence. The power of an individual is too small in front of the collective! “

“You mean to mobilize relatives, friends or other people to help look for it?”

“Yes! Carpet search, organize people to search all the places with blisters as much as possible, and select those that meet the requirements!
The common forest frogs caught can also generate certain income!

Aren’t you delivering goods to the Second Canteen? If you catch more of this stuff and try other ways to sell it, you will be able to sell it.

As long as you can set up this stall, it will definitely be much easier than looking for it yourself!”

Yue Feng nodded after listening to Uncle Zhao’s suggestion: “Okay, I’ll remember your suggestion! I’ll go ask some other senior hunters about it!”
If there is really no other solution, then we can only use the stupid method you mentioned!”

Uncle Zhao nodded: “Well, maybe other people have heard of this thing. If they have a direction, it will save a lot of trouble!
There are so many places where forest frogs can be found in the Changbai Mountain area. Not to mention other places, just within a hundred kilometers around the back mountain of our Xing’an Village, there are so many large and small water bubbles that you can’t find them all even if you search them one by one in a whole winter!

I won’t remind you of other things. The water temperature is low in winter. Many bubbles may look shallow, but there are a lot of rotten leaves and other things underneath, which actually hide a lot of dangers.

Whether you are doing it alone or organizing others, you must emphasize the safety of personnel!

You are not a child anymore, you must be more careful when doing things!
If you have any other problems, feel free to come and see me. I usually stay at home in the winter!”

“Yes, OK, Uncle Zhao! I’ll go first and ask Uncle Chen from the next village!”

“I send you!”

……

Just like that, Yue Feng came out of Uncle Zhao’s house at the entrance of the village, turned around and went home, got on his motorcycle and went to Uncle Chen’s house.

After another round of questioning, Uncle Chen still didn’t get any valuable information.

At their level, they know the distribution of prey around their homes and other things like that. Uncle Zhao at the village head doesn’t know this, and Uncle Chen is no exception.

Yue Feng was somewhat frustrated after failing to obtain any valuable information from two senior hunters in a row, so he started his motorcycle tricycle and went up the mountain again.

Uncle Zhao from the breeding farm on the mountain might have a chance to know something. No matter what the real situation is, we have to ask everyone one by one.

Otherwise, if we really organize a large number of people to look for a needle in a haystack as Uncle Zhao at the village head said, even if we can finally find the thing, it is unknown whether my nephew can hold on until then. That is the last solution which is not a solution.

With the last bit of expectation, Yue Feng rode his sidecar up the mountain.

In the farm, Zhao Dashan was taking the bear cubs and wolf-blooded dogs out to play and digest their food in the yard. When he heard the sound of Yue Feng’s motorcycle, he quickly opened the gate.

“Uncle! Have you eaten?” Yue Feng asked politely.

“I’ve already had lunch. I didn’t finish the pork stew from yesterday, so I heated it up today! Did you come here on purpose, or did you pass by here on your way up the mountain? What’s going on?”

Zhao Dashan was relatively more familiar with Yue Feng, so he knew that it was definitely not normal for Yue Feng to come up the mountain to find him at this time, so he asked this question.

“At this point, I do have something to ask you!
Have you heard of the golden thread snow clam?

According to records in ancient medical books, it is a variant of the wood frog that can walk on ice in winter without freezing. Its body is covered with golden lines, and it can secrete some special mucus to protect itself!
My friend’s child needs to find this golden line snow clam to save his life. After I answered the phone, I went to several seniors to ask for advice, but I didn’t get any useful information! “

“Golden Thread Snow Clam? Who asked you to look for this?” Zhao Dashan’s expression changed slightly after hearing Yue Feng’s description and he asked.

“Do you know this thing?” Yue Feng did not answer immediately, but continued to ask with joy on his face.

After all, if the other party doesn’t know the name, he will definitely say he doesn’t know and will not ask anything else.

“I have heard of this kind of thing from the older generation of hunters, but it is said to be quite weird, and I don’t think it is credible!

If it’s not a very reliable friend asking you for help, I think you should not bother with it! “

Zhao Dashan nodded and gave a brief explanation, but at the same time said that this thing was most likely not true. After all, even if it was a tiger or a leopard, it would not be as weird as it was said to be.

“Wang Hu! He’s the guy who helped me with the bills before!
I helped to hunt deer and make wine to have a child, which I gave to him to drink. As a result, my eldest nephew was born, but he was born prematurely and had a congenital lung disease.

The family consulted many famous doctors and finally found a prescription for treating this disease in an ancient book. This medicine was needed as an inducer!
You know a little about my relationship with Wang Hu. This person is very important to me and has helped me a lot before! As long as we can, I am willing to help!

What’s so weird about this golden thread snow clam you just mentioned? “

“This is a story I heard from my grandfather when I was a child!
He said that over at the Holy Maiden Lake, there is a very special kind of toad that has special golden patterns all over its body. It is about the same size as a wood frog, but is not afraid of the cold.

The most exaggerated thing is that when the moon is full on the 15th and 16th of every month, they will crawl out from their habitats and absorb the essence of the moon. They will not stop this behavior even after it freezes in winter!

If you stay in the mountains for a long time, you will always come into contact with mountain spirits and monsters, and I have encountered some strange things.

Even if something like this that can absorb the moonlight really exists, I don’t want you to mess around with it!”

“On a full moon night, absorbing the moonlight? This…”

No wonder Uncle Zhao said this legend was weird. The weasel worshiping the moon and asking for a title was weird enough.

This rare toad would rather come out of the ice to bask in the moonlight. Anyone would be unhappy.

“You said that the elders mentioned this place at Saint Maiden Lake? Where is Saint Maiden Lake?”

Yue Feng had some doubts in his mind, but he couldn’t help but continue to ask for more information.

“The Holy Maiden Lake is very far away. If we start from here, the straight-line distance is more than 300 kilometers, which is deep into the heart of Changbai Mountain!
If you take a detour to Tiecheng and go up the mountain from the Chaiji Road of the Jianshe Forest Farm there, it will be about 170 to 180 kilometers!

It is a very large mountain lake, which is rarely visited by people all year round. In the early years, bearded men caught gold diggers downstream and they were panning for gold there!
Even now, there is no human habitation within a radius of at least 100 kilometers! Where are you going?”

If it were someone else, Yue Feng would most likely have backed out. After all, he was living a good life now and there was no need to take such a big risk.

But now, the person seeking help is Wang Hu.

Whether it is from a personal perspective or from a more realistic perspective, Yue Feng needs the power and connections behind the other party, Yue Feng wants to give it a try.

If I can really save my nephew’s life, then the Wang family will be a strong supporter for me. (End of this chapter)
