Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 491

Although it was said to let them rest, but the next morning, all five of them got up very early.

Zhao Yongke, Liang Kangbo and Chen Xiuqing were going to check the traps set up yesterday to trap prey such as sables, raccoon dogs, and yellow skins.

It has to be said that Liang Kangbo is unique in setting traps. Apart from the hunting tools he brought, he can use local materials, such as slate, wood, rattan, etc., to set up effective traps.

Over the past few days, a group of people have learned a lot of trap setting skills from him.

Not only Lu Lu, but even Zhao Yongke had to admire this point.

Some traps can be called whimsical ideas.

After asking, I found out that Liang Kangbo likes to tinker with these things when he is free at home.

This also makes these traps always have some unexpected gains.

This trip out, is also not a small contribution.

The prey had to be brought back, the hunting gear had to be taken back, and the traps that Liang Kangbo had arranged at random had to be dismantled, otherwise, it would be a great waste if the wild animals fell into the traps and no one picked them up. These traps are also a potential hazard for someone passing by.

The roe deer is a nocturnal animal and prefers to be active in the morning and evening and at night. It is obviously inappropriate to set up hunting nets at this time.It is more suitable to set up near the evening, and to close the net the next morning.

After making some breakfast, Liang Kangbo and three went up the mountain at dawn, while Lu Lvze and Zhang Shaofeng rode horses and headed towards Taoshan, looking for someone to ask where Qingyanggou was.

Pingdingshan is the highest peak in Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and there are many surrounding mountains with an altitude of more than [-] meters.

Standing halfway up the mountain, it is easy to discern the location of the village in the distance.

In addition, this is the handover of three forest farms. In order to facilitate logging and forest farm management, many places have access roads.

After recognizing the direction, the two quickly found the main road and rode towards Taoshan.

After walking for more than half an hour, the two of them heard the sound of a chainsaw logging from a distance, accompanied by the prompt sound of "Shun Shan Dao Le" from time to time.

"Let's go and have a look!"

There is still a lot of distance to the village I want to go to. Since there are people logging nearby, Lu Lu doesn't want to bother: "Let's ask someone directly, maybe someone will know, and we can save some detours."

"Alright!" Zhang Shaofeng also agreed.

Seeing that most of them were woods with gentle slopes, the two immediately pulled the reins, followed the direction of the sound of chainsaws and shouts, and went straight into the woods to take a shortcut.

What the two of them didn't expect was that, looking at the gentle mountain forest, after drilling for a while, they found that the terrain inside had become steeper.

The green onion that Lu Lu rides is an Oroqen horse, which is very good at walking on snow.

However, what Zhang Shaofeng rode was an ordinary horse used to pull carts in the plowing field on weekdays. The terrain was slightly steep, and walking became a little uncomfortable.

Especially when he got to the hillside and found that the logger was halfway up the steep slope opposite, and if he wanted to go there, he had to go down the steep slope in front of him.

Lu Lu, on the other hand, had no scruples and rode down on the green onion.

The snow in the forest was quite thick, and I saw Scallion walking down a few steps, and suddenly sat on the snow with her back legs bent, and then she slid down the snow slope with Lu Lu on her back.

The key point is that when sliding down, you can use a pair of front legs to change the direction to prevent hitting the tree. It didn't take long before you reached the gentle place at the foot of the slope, and then stood up again.

This scene surprised Zhang Shaofeng.

He never expected that a horse could have such a strange ability in his opinion.

Don't horses walk and run with four hooves?

Why is this still skiing?

Lu Lu waited below for four or five minutes before Zhang Shaofeng led the horse in a zigzag pattern and walked down. As soon as he got to Lu Lu's side, he couldn't help asking: "I'm so envious of a chasing wind, why? This scallion is so extraordinary, and it can slide the snow so smoothly!"

"What's so strange about this is that the Oroqen horses are kept in the wild all year round, and they are most suitable for the severe cold mountainous areas. Many Oroqen horses know how to ski downhill!" Lu Lu said with a smile: "It has a lot of skills in the mountains. "

Zhang Shaofeng looked at the green onion enviously: "No, I have to raise one too, it will be good for hunting next winter!"

"Oroqen horses do have many advantages in the mountains. They are especially able to endure hunger and thirst, and have good stamina. Even if they don't feed anything for a day of hunting, they can be tied to a tree overnight, and they can hunt as usual the next day.

This horse is most suitable for winter, grazing on snow and eating snow to quench your thirst.Keep it in the mountains, people are not around, if there are wild beasts coming, they don’t have to worry about fighting the wild beasts to protect themselves, it’s really suitable to buy one.If you want it, go to Father Zhao, he will pick a horse.

Well, by the way, you can make an appointment with Brother Liang to see if he buys it.With Oroqen horses, it will be more convenient for us to hunt in winter. Among other things, even if it is corn and black beans that we bring up the mountain, we can take less, and it is convenient to use and saves trouble. "

Lulu gave advice.

Zhang Shaofeng nodded: "I'll ask when I get back at night."

While talking, the two walked up the opposite slope. A few minutes later, they saw seven sledge boys driving the sledge up the slope.

The sledge boy is the person who helps the wood gang enter the forest area to get big logs and is responsible for driving the sledge in the ice and snow.

Sledging up the slope refers to the work of dragging the felled wood in the steep logging area to the flat land or gentle slope under the mountain with the sledge.

Maybe some people will say that when transporting wood from the mountain, don't you use the ivy tractor to carry the original wood directly to the Lengchang at the foot of the mountain?How to drag it with a sledge.

At this time, which forest farm does not have creepers.

After the trees in the virgin forest are felled to the ground, the branches are cut off, and the whole log without cutting off the trunk is called the original log.The tractor backs the original strip, that is, the tractor twists the huge log to its own back with a self-assembled winch and drags it down the mountain.

However, tractors can only operate in relatively flat and hilly areas, such as the place under the flat top mountain that is not only steep but also has a lot of jumping stone ponds, it is impossible to get in at all.

Moreover, tractors can only perform shaving-style renewal logging in virgin forests—the so-called clearcutting operations.

Many terrains are not good, and the growth environment of trees is poor, so they can only use selective felling (selective felling) work areas. Even if the ivy tractor can be driven up, the method of hauling the original strips will damage where it passes. A large number of secondary and young trees are not allowed in the forest area.

At this time, the sledge comes in handy.

Selectively felled timber is collected with sledges up the slope.

The mountains and slopes in front of me are being felled selectively.

Seeing those seven people, Lu Lu and Zhang Shaofeng rushed to meet them.

"Gentlemen, by the way, do you know how to get to Qingyanggou?" Lu Lu politely asked the oncoming people.

"Qingyanggou, it's not far from here... Just follow the road below and keep walking. If you ride horses, you can see a wide valley there in about half an hour. There are many people in it. Big green poplar, that’s Qingyanggou, go down the ditch, there are several shacks, and someone manages the ginseng field of the production team there!”

One of the middle-aged words made Lu Lu happy.

He didn't expect that this Qingyanggou was so close to the place where his people hunted.

If you go to the village you saw on the mountain to ask, it will take a lot of walking.

"Thank you man!"

Lu Lu arched his hands at several people, twitched the reins, and took the lead along the winding snowy road that slid down the mountain with the sledge, and walked down the dirt road, Zhang Shaofeng immediately followed.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them walked down for a while, there was a sudden roar from above: "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, there are arrows!"

When Lu Lu and Zhang Shaofeng heard this, they turned their heads and looked up at the hillside, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

In snowy days, sledges are used to pull the original strips on the slopes, in order to save effort on the ice and snow.On steep snow slopes, it is not a good thing to be too slippery. It is even necessary to use thick iron chains on the bottom of the sledge to make anti-skid chains to increase friction and prevent over-slip.

The heavy-duty sledge can press the iron chain deeply into the ice and snow, thereby slowing down the speed of the sledge.

Zhang Shaofeng originally lived in the mountains, if Lu Lu didn't go to the mountains, he would also go to the forest farm to cut logs.

When Lu Lu was an educated youth, he also did logging work when he went to the Wanda Mountain Forest Farm to log in winter.

As soon as they heard the word jumping arrows, they were no strangers, and their nerves tensed up.

The Yuan Baos barked and ran forward as if they knew what was going on.

The two looked back instinctively, and found that one of the seven people was on the left, pulling the oxen pulling the sledge down at an increasing speed towards Lu Lu and Zhang Shaofeng who were below.The ox was almost in a sitting position, with its four hooves strenuously supporting the snow, trying hard to stretch the seat on its buttocks, trying to slow down the speed of the downhill.

They could already hear the screeching, screeching, screeching sound coming from the bottom of the sledge.

Seeing this, Lu Lu, who was below, hurriedly yelled: "Brother Feng, hurry up, you're going to shoot through the snow."

He clamped his horse's belly and hurried to the sideways.

Zhang Shaofeng's reaction was not slow, and he immediately ran after flattering the horse.Both are avoiding the area as much as possible.

Obviously, the ox has not enough strength to slow down the downhill speed. This is an extremely dangerous thing, not only for people driving the sledge, but also for people passing underground.

This is the sledge out of control.

It is easy for people and cattle to die.

The sledges were tied with three or four thick stalks. If they fell apart at once, the sledges would fly down the steep slope like arrows.

Such a big log, not to mention being hit by it, even if it is rubbed, it will be quite fatal.

Lu Lu had heard in his previous life that there was a sledge that was completely out of control and a person who was entangled in a rope. Driven by the inertia of the original sledge, he fell from the cliff of the mountain, and both the man and the cow fell to pieces. thing.

That incident shocked the huge forest area.

Driving the sledge to pull the original strip up the snow slope is the most dangerous thing in the wood gang's work, life and death are instant!

The two ran tens of meters away at once. While running, they looked back at the man. He was struggling to control the bull's head and trot down the hillside in a thrilling way, until the sledge collided with a big tree and collapsed. It was broken, the original strips were stuck on the big tree, and it was stabilized.

The scalper was panting, and two streams of white air gushed out of its nostrils. It didn't know how much force it had used just a few times ago.

And the person driving the sledge also fell down on the snow.

No need to think about it, Lu Lu also knew that he was so frightened that his feet were so weak that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Lu Lu and Zhang Shaofeng quickly got off their horses and ran back: "Man, are you hurt?"

"It's okay, just this one, the soul is almost scared out!" The man repeatedly patted his chest.

"This sledge is broken and can't be used anymore. You can only drag the original sledge to a flat place one by one, and find a sledge to pull it again. No matter what happens, it's lucky that people and cattle are fine!" Lu Lu also said. I am very grateful.

"That's right, that's the only way to go... If you're in a hurry, hurry up. You can't help me with this matter, so don't delay!" The man stood up with his hands on his knees, and wiped his face. Cold sweat on the face.

It was really not helpful, Lu Lu nodded at him, called Zhang Shaofeng, continued to ride the horse, and continued to go to Qingyanggou along the road they guided.
