The next morning, when I awoke, I was in good spirits, and I fell into a deep sleep in this hut smelling of pine wood.

As soon as I got up, the eldest brother's daughter-in-law warmly greeted us for breakfast, we simply washed up, and we were not polite, sat down and began to gobble up, boiled fragrant corn porridge, the more you chew the sweeter pancakes, dipped in the thick soup of pork stewed vermicelli left over from yesterday, accompanied by the green onions of the sauce, I once again ate a round belly.

When I arrived in the Great Northeast, I found that my appetite was surprisingly good, although it was not the spicy flavor I was used to.

After breakfast, I realized that Lao Zhang and Big Brother were not in the house, so I asked Big Brother's daughter-in-law: "Eldest sister, where have Big Brother and Lao Zhang gone?" ”

"Oh, they, go to find Lao Yuan, who guards the forest in the forest farm, and get something, you just wait here, Lao Zhang said, come back and help you sort it out, your big bags of things, you can't bring so many things up the mountain in this scene." The eldest sister greeted warmly.

She said this, and we had to wait, and after less than half an hour, it was almost 8 o'clock in the morning, Lao Zhang and Big Brother, and a young man, came back with a carriage, and Lao Zhang was carrying something wrapped in cloth on his back, and a bag of things hanging from his waist.

After entering the house and greeting for a while, Lao Zhang began to tidy up his things, and I found that the thing wrapped in cloth was a single-barrel shotgun, and the whole gun was shiny and looked to be well maintained.

And the bag on his waist opened, there were some brass bullets, some iron sand, another few packets of gunpowder, and some other things, which I didn't know at all, Lao Zhang handed the bag to Big Brother and said: "Big brother, please help me load some of these ammunition, load 50 pieces, it's enough for some days, and I'll do the rest myself." ”

After saying this, Lao Zhang asked us to bring a few large bags of luggage, saying that he wanted to help us sort out some things that can really be used in the mountains in winter.

Big Brother helped Lao Zhang to fill the ammunition, I saw it interesting, it turned out that those brass bullets, are some shells, they are used to load the 'medicine', the bottom of the bullet shell is filled with gunpowder, separated by a layer of paper shell, and then loaded with iron sand, but also compacted, and then separated by a layer of paper shell, it is simple to say, but it is very complicated to do, Big Brother said to us while filling in the 'medicine': "The guns and bullets used for hunting are particular, you hold a machine gun, and it is not necessarily more useful than ours, this' Medicine's loading is also exquisite, this gunpowder can not be more or less, more is easy to explode, and the iron sand must be less, in fact, the power is not great, less, the bullets shot out have no power, these are experiences. ”

Lao Zhang, on the other hand, brought us a lot of food, cleaned up some bits and pieces, and left some of the belongings we had, so that all that was left was a flashlight, a lighter, a snow shovel, an ice axe, a steel cone, a kettle, a tent, things to wear, a small number of compressed biscuits, and a pot.

"The rope has to be kept." Brother Chengxin said to Lao Zhang, it was a very long bundle of ropes, which actually took up quite space, but Brother Chengxin insisted, I saw Wu Lao Ghost squeezing his eyebrows at Brother Cheng Xin next to him, and I knew that this was Wu Lao Ghost's idea.

Actually, why didn't you go to Mount Everest and bring such a long rope? I had a question in my mind, but I didn't ask much.

Lao Zhang didn't say much, so he said: "Then bring it, in short, entering the mountain is a matter of relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, and the things you bring are as simple as possible, this is a physical and energy-consuming thing to enter the mountain." ”

We nodded, these things are of course better to listen to professionals.

After the luggage was streamlined, the original four of us were carrying and carrying luggage, only one bag per person was left, and it was not heavy, and we changed into professional clothes in the snow mountain, and I felt that the whole person was much more relaxed.

Lao Zhang has his own clothes, that is how many years of experience accumulation, the clothes that people in the mountains should wear, but they can't bear to accept the heart, and they also put on the same clothes as us, to be honest, the development of modern science and technology, you should not underestimate its power, this special clothes, light and warm, Lao Zhang is very satisfied with the look, it says everything.

After doing all this, Big Brother also loaded the special bullets, put them in his bag, and handed them to Lao Zhang, who hung these things on the hook of his pants, which was also convenient, and when he put the shotgun on his back, we set off.

It is said to be a departure, that is, to get on the carriage of the eldest brother's son, and there is a road from here to the mountain, in order to save time, you can drive the carriage up.

It is said that it is an avenue, that is, a wide dirt road, and on this cold day, there is a thin layer of ice on the snowy road, but the carriage runs steadily.

In about an hour or so we actually arrived at the foot of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was already a dense forest, and I couldn't make out what the trees were, anyway, there were always pine trees, and in this winter, the branches and leaves were covered with a layer of silver, and so were the dwarf shrubs on the ground, looking snow-white and dazzlingly tight.

And from a distance, you can also see that the layers of fog and haze, and the old forest that you can see everywhere looks mysterious, beautiful and awe-inspiring.

The eldest brother's son was an enthusiastic young man, afraid that we would be bored on the road, so he told us all the way what trees and grass there were in the forest at the foot of the mountain, and he was very proud when he spoke, interspersing a sentence from time to time: "This is amazing, you know?" Old and precious. ”

We listened to it interestingly, and we didn't find it difficult to see the time, and besides, we couldn't see the scenery in the mountains, but the carriage only drove for an hour, and then we came to the end, and at the end of the road was a small road, where the carriage could not go deep.

The young man stopped the carriage, jumped out of the car, and said to us: "I don't know how deep Uncle Zhang wants to lead you into, but this ridge, and the one next to each other, and that piece, our people here still often go to activities, and then there are some places that we mountain people also feel dangerous and can't say, if you come to appreciate the life in the mountains, see the scenery, go around a few times in these places I said, hunt, and it's over when it's fresh, don't go to other places, it's not that I said to scare people, In some places, the most experienced old visitors may not be able to come out. ”

The young man's words were not polite, and there were some warnings in it, but his heart was good, he was also worried about us, I, like snow, Brother Chengxin smiled and was silent, but Lao Zhang scolded with a smile: "Get out of the calf, your parents are still waiting for you to rush back to eat, what should I do in the mountains, I don't know?" Rest assured. ”

The young man was not annoyed, and said to Lao Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, then I'll leave?" By the way, there is a shack on this mountain, which was built by our tunzi for the convenience of hunting, and now you go into the mountain, the distance is faster, and you can also get to that shack, boil some hot water, and eat hot food. ”

"I still don't know? Go back, hurry. Lao Zhang urged, and the young man scratched his head with a smile and drove away.

At this time, Lao Zhang beckoned us to put on our equipment, and then walked in front and led us into the mountain.

On the way, Lao Zhang was silent, and told us not to talk as much as possible, not because of anything else, just to save some effort, he just reminded him, if you can, it's best not to spend the night in the wild, this old forest overnight, it's not a pleasant thing, there are more things in the old forest, who knows if it will be a nerve, so he ran to this mountain range with frequent human activities.

For Lao Linzi, my eyes are black, I don't understand anything, what Lao Zhang says is what it is, just follow his footsteps.

But in the cold and frozen mountains, it is indeed not what I imagined, the snow-covered roads are very difficult to walk, the snow is slippery where the snow is thin, and the deep snow is sunken, compared to the mountains and forests in other places, the physical strength of the mountain roads in this old forest is not ordinary.

I feel that my physical strength is good, but after walking for less than two hours, I still can't help but breathe slightly, you must know that I have practiced since I was a child, and I feel that climbing a mountain has never been difficult.

I'm like this, Brother Chengxin and Ruxue are naturally worse, Ruxue is a girl in the end, and her performance is weaker, I simply took Ruxue's package, and took Ruxue's hand: "I'll pull you away, save some effort." ”

Ruxue's expression didn't change much, just a gentle 'um', Brother Chengxin smiled and didn't say anything, but Lao Zhang turned his head, gasped and said, "Little brother's physical strength is good, stronger than me, an old mountain man." ”

The old ghost Wu floating beside us put his hands in his sleeves, made a shivering look, and shouted: "It's cold, why can't you get to the ground?" I'm tired, old, old. ”
