Chapter 1461 It’s hard to be a good person
There was a depression in the snow in front, which was mostly covered by the collapsed snow. In the uncovered area, paper, clip board, and the sable caught in the clip were exposed.
Experienced hikers like Zhao Jun and Xing San knew the sable was a male as soon as they saw its claws exposed.
This piece of skin would cost nearly 1,300 yuan if it were taken to Hebei!
But Zhao Jun and Xing San just took a look and passed by, continuing to walk towards Shitangdao.
Every mountain has its own rules.
The way hikers deal with a trap that catches large skins or yellow leaves is different from the way they deal with a trap that catches wild boars or roe deer.
When a mountain hiker sees a wild boar or roe deer trying to escape a trap, he can simply chop off a thigh and leave it to the owner, then take the rest.
But when you run in the mountains, you can see the yellow leaves or big skins on the stepping clamps, but you can't move them.
The reasons behind this are not complicated.
Xing San sets traps in the mountains all year round, and Shi Baofeng sets snares in the mountains. They all have their own fixed territories. This year, if they don't stop hunting, others can't come to steal their prey.
But this is for those who are doing small siege.
Xing San sets traps in the mountain area. People who set traps are not allowed to come and set traps, but he can't control those who set traps for dogs or those who hunt for wild animals.
The traps are used to catch wild boars and roe deer, which are also the prey for dog hunting and hunting.
But it’s different with the big skins and yellow leaves. I didn’t say that I took the dog out to hunt yellow skins today, nor did I say that I hunt big skins.
Therefore, the mountain rule is that if you come across a wild boar or roe deer that is trapped, you can share it with them, but if you come across a sable or yellow leaf fish that is trapped, you cannot touch even a hair of it.
Of course, there are people who abide by the mountain rules and there are people who don’t.
Zhao Jun and Xing San are both people who abide by the rules of the mountain, just as Zhao Jun said to Li Ruhai: A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way.
Even though 1,280 yuan was lying on the snow, Zhao Jun and Xing San had no intention of taking it for themselves and just walked past it.
This mountain area is Shi Baofeng's territory. According to reliable information provided by Li Ruhai, Shi Baofeng sprained his ankle in a dispute with Tao Ersheng and Tao Sansheng, so he stopped hunting early this winter.
Shi Baofeng's three elder brothers were all born blind, and he didn't allow his sons and nephews to get into mountain running. By the time he was able to go up the mountain, it would be early even after the first month of the lunar year, and it would have to be the beginning of spring.
As the temperature rises in early spring and the air moves upward, trapped sables can easily rot on the mountain.
Of course, there is also the possibility that it will be picked up by someone else.
But this has nothing to do with Zhao Jun and Xing San. It’s not that they are indifferent, but according to the saying of the older generation, unless the other party trusts you 100%, you should not send it back to them.
Because if you do that, it is very likely that you will end up in a bad situation.
But after Zhao Jun took a few steps, he said to Xing San beside him: "Uncle, I want to pick up the clip for him."
"That won't do, kid." Xing San frowned upon hearing this, and rarely disagreed with Zhao Jun's suggestion, saying, "This isn't like a wild boar or a roe deer. You can't pick up someone else's."
"No, Third Uncle." Zhao Jun said, "I was thinking of picking it up and sending it to that... Old Xu Pao."
"Huh?" Xing San was startled, and then he heard Zhao Jun explain: "Isn't Old Xu Pao Shi Baofeng's uncle? They went out together during the New Year, so this big fight will be over, right?"
"Come on." Xing San stopped, holding Zhao Jun with one hand and swiping around with the other, saying, "It's such a large area, he can't say how many traps he can put up. If you send one back to him, what will he do if he loses eight?"
After hearing what Xing San said, Zhao Jun pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, Xing San continued, "Boy, we are already considerate enough by not picking up his things. When he can go up the mountain, he can pick them up by himself. If he lets others pick them up, it means he doesn't have the wealth."
"Oh." Zhao Jun sighed and said, "Uncle, I know what you said. But I wonder why he has to support four families by himself. It's not easy."
Shi Baofeng had to support four families and find wives for his son and three nephews. This was a lot of pressure, which also showed that he was a good person, so Zhao Jun wanted to help him.
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Xing San fell into a brief silence. The old man smacked his lips and shook his head, saying, "As for this guy, I've dealt with him before. He's a good person. But... a big skin is not a small amount of money. Don't cause yourself trouble. Don't go to any place to complain when the time comes."
"Hmm." Zhao Jun thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll think about it again."
"Let's go." Xing San pulled Zhao Jun and said, "Let's get the cage down quickly. It will be easier for us to go after that. Don't we have to go hunt roe deer with your uncle and the others?"
Zhao Jun, who had not made up his mind, ignored the trap in the snow and walked into the stone pond with Xing San.
Zhao Jun stopped and took out wire cages from the sacks.
The cage is oblate and has an open mouth, but like the mouth of a fishing basket, it has a large opening for entry and a small opening for exit.
In theory, a small opening would allow a mouse to get out. But the cage was made entirely of wire, and the wire at the cage opening had been rubbed to an extremely sharp point. When a mouse tried to get out from inside, it would be pricked by the sharp wire.
Once it is stabbed and feels the pain, the mouse will not be able to drill harder, otherwise it will be pierced.
Zhao Jun asked Zhang Yuanmin to build such a cage in order to catch sables.
As soon as the light of day came into view, the mice in the cage started squeaking.
There was a wire lifting ring on the cage, and Zhao Jun lifted out eight cages in a row.
A closer look revealed that all the mice in the cages were injured. Some were bleeding, and their fur was tangled.
"Uncle, I'm going to the north." Zhao Jun held four cages in one hand and said to Xing San, "You stay here."
After all, the old man is old, so let him put the cage nearby and let Zhao Jun take on the long-distance work.
"Okay." Xing San nodded and reminded Zhao Jun: "Be sure to watch your step when walking."
As he spoke, Xing San gave one of the two sticks in his hand to Zhao Jun.
"Yeah, Third Uncle." Zhao Jun responded, "You too, huh? If there's anything, just whistle."
The two men split into two groups, with Zhao Jun pulling the sack in one hand and using a stick in the other to explore the road ahead.
The stone pond is full of stones, some of which have large gaps between them. If people step into them, they may easily break their ankles.
This stone pond was quite large, and the Zhao army walked more than two miles before they found a stone cave to put the cage in.
The stone hole should not be too deep. If it is too deep, the cage will slip into it and it will be difficult to get out.
When he got to the cave, Zhao Jun looked inside. He could see the bottom with the light, so he stuffed the cage in. If he couldn't see the bottom, then forget it.
After setting up a cage, the Zhao army would go in all directions with the cage as the center, setting a trap every 180 meters.
Zhao Jun took every step carefully, going back and forth in the underground cage.
After working for more than an hour, he went back to meet Xing San.
Before reaching the place where the two separated, Zhao Jun saw Xing San searching not far away.
Zhao Jun blew a whistle, and Xing San came over to join him. Seeing Xing San holding a stick in one hand and a sack in the other, Zhao Jun asked him, "Uncle San, what are you looking for?"
"Let me see if there's any big bear hiding in the warehouse." Xing San said with a smile, "I didn't see any warehouse door covered with frost."
There might be a brown bear in this rocky area, but the bear is hiding in the barn and will not come out unless someone disturbs it.
Especially now it is past the coldest time of the year, and the bear won't even lift its eyelids unless someone pokes it in anger.
Zhao Jun and Xing San did not see any bear footprints on the snow as they walked along, which proved that there were no bears wandering around nearby, so there was no need to be on guard against bears moving around in this area.
But trying to find Xiongcangzi in this rocky area is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Zhao Jun took the sack from Xing San and walked out of Shitangdai with Xing San.
After leaving the Shitang belt, they returned along the same route. When they were about to get close to the big wallet they had found earlier, Zhao Jun suddenly grabbed Xing San.
"Uncle, what are you listening to?" As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Xing San hurriedly turned his head to listen.
At this time, the wind blew, and only a "squeak, squeak" sound was heard in the wind.
There is still more than a thousand words left. I will add a chapter of four thousand words tomorrow.
