“As long as there is relatively accurate information, I plan to go even if the place is a bit remote!”

After listening to what Uncle Zhao said, Yue Feng spoke with a very firm attitude.

“Ah… kid, what can I say… Have you made up your mind to go to Saint Maiden Lake?”

After Yue Feng expressed his opinion, Uncle Zhao sighed slightly.

“The best we can do is stay in the old forest for a few days. The forest is a hundred kilometers deep. We can always find it as long as we find the right place! I want to take my brothers to give it a try!” Yue Feng said ignorantly and fearlessly.

“It’s not as simple as just being a hundred kilometers deep!
Now you take a few younger brothers into the mountains to hunt, and move around in the radiation area of ​​the forest farm. Most of the time you don’t need to stay overnight, and in fact you don’t need many professional hunting skills and wilderness survival techniques.

But when you get to the deep mountains and forests, it’s a different story!

Over on the other side of the Holy Maiden Lake, the terrain is extremely high, and the top of the mountain is at least one thousand meters higher than the ordinary area of ​​our back mountain.

The mountains are high and the oxygen is thin. People who are not used to it are prone to various symptoms of hypoxia. If they have no experience, they may have an accident before they find their destination!
In addition, there are reasons why there is no human activity in the old forest, and being far away from the residential area is just one of the reasons.

The deeper reason is that the terrain in the mountains and forests is complex, the climate is unpredictable, and the density of various wild beasts in the wild forests is also high. In winter, these mountain animals have nowhere to find food and are more likely to attack hunting teams.

For example, the Northeastern wolves and red dogs, which have been almost extinct here for many years, are likely to still be distributed in populations over there.

Without strong skills, it would be hard to survive, let alone reach the destination to search for the golden line snow clam. “

“Um…there’s still so much to say?”

Yue Feng was slightly stunned when he heard that there would be various problems at high altitudes.

At first he thought it was just a matter of going a little deeper into the old forest and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, but after Uncle Zhao said that, he realized that he had taken it for granted.

“This is just a tiny part of the problem I can think of. The real situation may be many times more complicated than what I said!
I’m not belittling you, old man. You and the other kids have only been hunting in the mountains for a little over a year. You have no experience in dealing with such complicated situations!
Even if I lead the team into the mountains myself, I wouldn’t dare to guarantee it!
Besides, there are so many mouths to feed on the mountain. Even if the trip to Holy Maiden Lake goes smoothly, it will take at least a week to go back and forth!
Don’t be too stubborn about this kind of thing, you still have to be responsible to your team members, family and friends!”

After listening to Uncle Zhao’s repeated reminders, Yue Feng nodded.

Having lived two lives, his cognition and character far exceed those of ordinary young people of the same age. He knows what is good and what is bad, and he knows that what the old man just said was definitely not a trick to scare people.

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay, I understand what you said! It is indeed not appropriate for me to take a few brothers to such a far place!
But I still have to go.

If we are short of people, we will find local people to serve as guides. If we are short of supplies and equipment, we will ask Wang Hu to purchase them.

Before we go, we should prepare guides, supplies, emergency plans, and various supplies and equipment, so we can be confident when we go!”

Seeing that Yue Feng was determined, Uncle Zhao sighed and said, “If you really want to go, I’ll recommend someone to you. I have a friend in Tiecheng who has experience in going deep into the mountains. You can go find him and say that you are my apprentice. He should be able to help you!
Doesn’t your friend Wang Hu’s family have financial resources? Ask them to find some professional talent through special channels.

Prepare all the key supplies for entering the mountains in advance to ensure that everything is safe before going to Holy Maiden Lake!

Otherwise, I will definitely not let you take the risk. Even if you don’t want to listen to my nagging, I still have to say this!

We are men of the same temperament. I am counting on you to marry, have children, and have grandchildren, so that you can send me a message of breaking pots and beating banners in the future!”

“Hey! That’s what I planned too!

Let Brother Hu help find a few skilled soldiers or something, and then find a good guide, then it will be safe to go into the mountains!
Don’t worry, I value my life very much and I will definitely not play with the lives of my team members!”

Yue Feng scratched his head and chuckled, agreeing with Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao, who has always been a loner, was able to ask Yue Feng to seek help from an old friend he hadn’t contacted for many years in the name of his apprentice. This shows that Uncle Zhao absolutely regards Yue Feng’s affairs as his own. Yue Feng also cherishes this feeling of being recognized and cared for.

“Okay, go ahead and make arrangements first! When everything is almost ready, give me the ideas and preparations for entering the mountain. I’ll help you weigh them and give you my friend’s name!”

“Okay! Then you go ahead and do your work. I’m going to go down the mountain to make some phone calls! I’ll come back up to check with you once everything is ready!”

Uncle Zhao waved his hand: “Alright! Let’s go!”

After coming down from the forest farm on the mountain, Yue Feng stepped on the accelerator a little harder, and quickly went down the mountain back to the village and headed straight for the village office.

I called the village office using the contact information Wang Hu left behind. After several busy calls, the call was finally connected.

“Hello? Any news?”

The voice on the phone was a little distorted, but one could still hear Wang Hu’s anxious state of mind.

“Ok.

I consulted all the older hunters who were influential in my neighborhood.

From Uncle Zhao, I heard some legends about the golden thread snow clam from the older generation!
The information you told me is incomplete. According to legend, this thing will indeed crawl out from under the ice in winter, but the reason is very mysterious. It will worship the moon like a yellow fox or a fox!
Every 15th and 16th day, they will come out to absorb the moonlight! “

“Huh? This…”

Hearing Yue Feng’s words, Wang Hu was slightly stunned and didn’t know how to continue.

In this small area of ​​Northeast China, no one is willing to mess with even common “spiritual creatures” such as yellow foxes or foxes.

If this golden-threaded snow frog also has the ability to worship the moon, it should have some so-called “Taoism”. Asking Yue Feng, a young hunter, to do this job is a bit beyond the scope.

Yue Feng saw that there was some silence on the other end of the phone, so he explained: “Don’t be nervous, I told you so much, not because I don’t want to help you, but because I want you to understand more!

I have already found out about the place where this thing is said to be. It is more than 300 kilometers away from us in a straight line, deep in the heart of Changbai Mountain!

Even if you take the Chaiji Road from the forest farm on the other side of Tiecheng up the mountain, the straight-line distance is more than 170 kilometers!
Moreover, the altitude there has risen by at least one thousand meters and the conditions are extremely severe. If I want to go into the mountains to search, I must be adequately prepared!
You know what I have. I can provide people, dogs, and eagles. But I am far from being a professional hunter in every dimension. I need your help to solve this problem!”

“So you’re thinking about this!
These are simple. Just tell me what you need at the place you mentioned and I will find a way to solve it!
This time the old man has spoken, no matter the cost!”

After hearing Yue Feng’s words, Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, then patted his chest and made a promise.

“Okay, I need two soldiers who are proficient in wilderness survival, preferably with experience in high-altitude survival. I need various supplies to survive in the mountains for at least seven to ten days, and I need two to three horses to carry the supplies.

High-brightness lighting tools, guns, ammunition, and medicines must also be prepared in sufficient quantities!”

Yue Feng counted on his fingers and told Wang Hu about all the things he would need to go into the mountains.

“Okay, I’ll go and coordinate the arrangements right away! The target location is on a mountain with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. The radiation distance from the Chaiji Road in the forest farm in Tiecheng is about 170 kilometers, right?”

“Yes, these are the preliminary intelligence, but the actual situation may be different!

According to the legend of the older generation that Uncle Zhao told me, this golden-thread snow clam will drill out of the ice on the nights of the 15th and 16th to breathe in the moonlight.

It’s the fifth day of the New Year now, and we still have about ten days to prepare and march!

I have never caught the golden-lined snow frog, but I have caught quite a few common forest frogs!

If this thing has the same habits as the snow frog on a daily basis, it will burrow under the water to hibernate. The place I am talking about is a large alpine lake, and there is no possibility of draining the lake water to catch the frog!

Therefore, if the rumored information is true, we can only outsmart them, not use force!

Also, if we can’t find the legendary golden thread snow frog after working for a long time, I’ve done my best!” Yue Feng said to Wang Hu to give him a heads-up in advance.

“Okay! I won’t say any more polite words! I’ll go make some preparations first and try to get everything arranged as soon as possible!

By the way, do you know the way to this place? I didn’t hear you mention the route into the mountain just now. Do you want me to help you find a local guide?”

“No need. Uncle Zhao has an old friend in Tiecheng. I can ask him to help lead the way and act as a guide by mentioning his name. He knows the route. If there are other situations, we can communicate and contact each other in time!”

“Okay! Then I’ll go make the arrangements first! I’ll call you once everything is ready!”

“OK!”

……

There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone, and Yue Feng put down the receiver, thinking about something.

I still lack some experience in wilderness hunting.

Whether it’s hunting skills or survival in the wild, I can only say that I have mastered the basics. There is still a big gap between me and the real warriors who can survive well in the wild.

Just when Yue Feng was feeling a little lost in his thoughts, a fragrant breeze with a milky aroma blew over from the side.

Wang Xiaona didn’t know when she got next to Yue Feng.

“Have you found out anything?” Wang Xiaona asked with concern.

Yue Feng nodded: “Yes, I found a possible place, which is a bit far from home. I think I will have to go on a long trip in the next few days!”

“I just heard you talking on the phone about preparing various things for going deep into the mountains. Wear this when you leave!”

As they were talking, Yue Feng noticed that his wife Wang Xiaona was holding a set of underwear in her hand.

A vest and a pair of cotton trousers with a deep crotch. They look quite bulky and must have been newly made.

“I have a cotton-padded jacket and a leather coat, but this thing may not be suitable for going up the mountain!” Yue Feng took it casually, but did not plan to wear it up the mountain.

When he put on the clothes, Yue Feng was slightly stunned.

The feel is so incredibly light. The filling inside these cotton pants and vest is definitely not cotton.

“This is……”

“This is the velvet you brought back a few days ago for me to make a down jacket!
I thought about it, you lead the hunting team into the mountains to hunt all day long, so I made you this vest and a pair of cotton pants!
The amount of fleece is limited, and I originally wanted to make sleeves, but there is not enough material!
This thing is light and warm, but the only drawback is that the texture of ordinary cotton cloth is too sparse, so it can’t hold the lint and it always leaks through.

I made this using a piece of encrypted Dacron fabric at home as the lining!
The velvet is trapped by small grids one by one, and then the stitches are sealed several times to basically ensure that the velvet will not seep through.

I won’t stop you from doing your job, but you must wear this dress!”

Hearing this, Yue Feng felt warm in his heart.

It is said that a good lover is a virtuous wife who helps a man on his road to success.

Yue Feng had saved some velvet when he went catching swans in the fall, and brought it back for his wife to make a cotton-padded jacket for her to wear.

As a result, Wang Xiaona didn’t use the precious velvet to make a coat for herself, but instead made a vest and down pants for her lover.

What more could a husband ask for with a wife like this!

“Okay, since you’ve done it, I’ll wear it!
I will go catch swans again in the fall and bring back more velvet to make you a thick one!”

Yue Feng put his down jacket aside and gently put his arm around his wife’s waist.

“Yeah! I know you are awesome!

Be sure to be safe when you go into the mountains, and do your best to help. I’ll be waiting for you at home!”

Wang Xiaona did not dodge, but gently hugged Yue Feng’s waist and spoke softly.

“Hehe, don’t worry about that. I’m going to die soon, and I’ll come back to marry you!”

……

For the next two days, Yue Feng was in a state of waiting. After Wang Hu received the information from Yue Feng, he immediately reported to Laozi and mobilized his forces to prepare.

When you reach a certain level, you only need to say a few words and the people below will naturally get things done.

Two days later, Yue Feng received a call from Wang Hu, who had prepared everything. The two parties agreed to meet at the First Guesthouse in Tiecheng the next morning.

After hanging up the phone, Yue Feng called all his brothers together for a meeting.

The content of the team meeting was also very simple. The first point was to talk about going to Shengnv Lake to look for the golden snow clam, how long it would take, what the danger level would be, and other basic things.

The second point is that Yue Feng’s family affairs cannot be abandoned. Someone needs to be left behind to look after the house, deliver supplies to the mountain, deliver game to the second canteen, etc. Various miscellaneous matters need to be handled by someone.

When the brothers heard that they were going on a long journey deep into the mountains, they were quite excited.

After all, everyone had already strolled around the area around the mountain behind my home last winter.

Now I have the opportunity to follow the main group to go to a farther place to see the world. They are all young men, and I would be lying if I said I am not tempted.

However, even if they are all interested, they cannot all go. After careful consideration, Yue Feng decided to leave Xiaowen, who is more calm and steady, to look after the house. This time he took Xiaowu and Xiaotao into the mountains.

Yue Feng made this arrangement after careful consideration.

Xiao Tao has high fighting power. No matter he is unarmed or armed, he can easily take on several people by himself. He is obedient and loyal. He is the brother that Yue Feng can trust absolutely and rely on in critical moments.

Xiaowu is a better marksman and he has never made any mistakes since he entered the mountains. If we encounter a situation where we need to shoot, he will be more helpful than Xiaowen.

In comparison, Xiaowen has no obvious advantages except that he is well-versed in human relationships and has far-sighted thoughts. It is most appropriate to keep him as the caretaker.

After finalizing the candidate, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle and sidecar up the mountain again and got the address, name and contact information of his old friend from Uncle Zhao.

Everything is ready. When Yue Feng went down the mountain, he took four wolf-blooded dogs with him. Tomorrow morning, he will take the hunting team members, the dogs and the falcons and go straight to the gathering place.

After meeting the people and supplies prepared by Wang Hu, and finding the guide to the mountain, the frog search operation officially started. (End of this chapter)
