Chapter 445 Too Fine
The three of them are all veterans of stalking, and they just followed Xue Tian's wolf paw prints. For the three of them, it was too simple, not to mention that there were Yuan Bao and five puppies.
Therefore, following all the way, the three of them rode horses and followed Yuan Bao and them.
The only trouble is that the direction of the wind is always a bit chaotic.
This is a difficult problem to solve.
If it is in summer and autumn, you can still use mud, smearing wormwood juice, etc. to hide your breath, but this gust of north wind blows through the mountains and forests, and the wind direction is messed up, so you can't smear these things on your body.
Lu Lu was a little worried that the group of cunning wolves would be aware of it early and avoid it far away.
On the snowy ground, Yuanbao and the others were not easy to catch up with the wolves, and it was not easy for them to catch up with the horses in a short time.
But right now, there is no other way but to continue to follow the footsteps.
This walk took another two hours.
Along the way, Lu Lu discovered that this was indeed a group of unusual wolves.
Their activity trajectories and several places of stay are almost all around the forest farm's logging sites, log storage sites and forest farm workers' family areas.
They even made a detour to the forest behind Xiushan Tunhou Mountain.
This made Lu Lu even more aware of the danger of these wolves.
It was also this that made both Zhao Tuanqing and Zhao Yongke start to frown.
A few times, Lu Lu and the others had seen the extremely fresh feces and footprints of the wolves. Another time, Yuan Bao even made a fierce noise, but they tracked them all the way, only to find that the wolves were moving away quickly.
"We must have been discovered by them. It is not an option to continue chasing us like this!"
Zhao Tuanqing said: "Every time they stay, they are close to places where people are active, and they are always looking for opportunities. One thing you have to know is that wolves in the wilderness are more cunning and ferocious than wolves on the grassland, and they may face more danger. There are too many reasons. It’s hard to deal with!”
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Yongke looked at the obviously bigger footprints on the snow: "They are running, so we can't catch up."
"We have to find a way to get around them." Zhao Tuanqing thought for a while and said.
"These wolves are too smart. During this period of time, they have been disturbed a lot and have become very vigilant. If they want to go around the front, we can't be sure where they will go. It's hard to handle. Or In this way, let's chase for a while, if we still can't catch up before dark, let's find a place nearby to spend the night.
They are close to the places where people are active, and they are looking for food again in all likelihood. This is in the forest farm, where logging is done every day. There is a lot of shouting and chain sawing. There are wild animals around, and they have already been scared away. It's getting closer, otherwise, let's get some wild animals tomorrow and set up traps! "
Lu Lu suggested: "Most of the forest farms are now on guard. It is easy to avoid accidents and not get food. Setting up bait and traps tomorrow should be very effective."
Zhao Tuanqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Alright!"
After making a decision, the three drove their horses to follow up again.
As expected, there was still no sign of the wolves. However, probably because of being chased for a long time, the extremely vigilant wolves did not dare to stay too much in places where people were active. This time they directly chose Into the deeper mountains.They are all out of the scope of the logging area of the forest farm.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lu Lu thought for a while, and took the lead towards the nearby NO.13 logging site.
Under normal circumstances, a logging site is a logger who leads the people to station, and several small loggers gather together at a logging site. This is an outsourced work of the forest farm, which is undertaken by the leader and then organized by manpower.
Of course, the current wooden gang is not the old wooden gang.
Just like the current gang formed by pulling gangs into the mountains and carrying sticks, it is no longer the same as the previous gang.
Mubang is a person who walks into the deep mountains and old forests to work in the wild just like the gangsters and hunters in the mountains.In the early years, the transportation was inconvenient, and most of the wood cut by the wooden gangs was exiled by rivers. The people who arranged these jobs were called wooden gangs.
Their work is mainly divided into mountain field work and water field work.
Shanchangzihuo, as the name suggests, is mainly responsible for logging, consignment and other work on the mountain.
Under normal circumstances, there is a large cabinet in the upper part of the mountain field, and the second cabinet below it. The head of the sub-field, the plow head, and the head of the trough each perform their duties, and those who work are collectively called wooden handles.
This is actually a process of exploitation layer by layer. The dry wood is the bottom one, and there is no money at all.
Now there are people who take the lead, find some people to take over the work of the forest farm, without those exploits, just like Wang Dalong and his gang, when they are formed, they can be regarded as a wooden gang, but Wang Dalong is the leader and is responsible for contacting the forest farm management. .
Such groups range from large to small, ranging from as few as a dozen to as large as dozens to hundreds.
The NO.13 logging site is a logging site with a large number of people, with dozens of people, and these people are in groups of three or four to carry out logging in the area.
Probably because there are more people, and they are not afraid of wolves. It is different from the deserted logging sites that Lu Lu and the others passed by. when.
They are working normally.
Three large huts were built at the logging site, with north and south big kangs inside. The woodcutters who came down from the mountain squeezed one by one on the big kangs to warm their bodies.
In the middle of the big kang in the shack is a large stove, which is guarded by a special person, and the fire is lit day and night.
Even so, it was still bitterly cold in the house.
The lumberjacks walked up and down in the knee-high snow shell all day long, which was already drenched with water and frozen with ice slag.
As soon as one by one got into the shack, the first thing they did was to bake shoes and cotton trousers. The more people came back, the more noisy it was, and there was a smell of foot odor and sour smell. .
The three of them arrived at the place, explained the situation to the manager of the forest farm, and temporarily lived in a shack with fewer people tonight.
They didn't mingle with other people, they set up a fire outside, roasted sticky bean buns to fill their stomachs, each took a roe skin mattress, spread a mattress on the earth kang with no one at the door, and lay down early.
People come and go in and out of this place from time to time, it is the coldest place, and few people would choose to live at the door.
It was noisy for a long time, and the lumberjacks who were tired all day also lay down early, and there were a few alcohol addicts who were still drinking with pickles.
On the finally closed door of the shack, under the dim oil lamp, one can see a masterpiece on it—I don’t know who used charcoal to scratch an exaggerated image of a woman on the door.
It's actually very good, at least when you see it, it can make people fully express their extravagant imagination about women.
When a group of rough men gather together, women have always been an eternal topic. It is not surprising that there is such an exaggerated picture of a woman on the wooden board.
Lu Lu, Zhao Tuanqing, and Zhao Yongke briefly discussed their plans for tomorrow morning and then went to sleep. After all the oil lamps in the shack were blown out, there was only the sound of snoring in the whole shack.
In the middle of the night, Lu Lu was suddenly awakened by Yuan Bao's low, fierce cry. He turned over and got up almost instinctively, and immediately grabbed the semi-automatic in his hand.
His movements were a bit big, and even Zhao Tuanqing and Zhao Yongke woke up suddenly, turning over and sitting up.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Zhao Yongke asked in a low voice.
"Yuanbao is calling! I'll go out and have a look." Lu Lv also replied in a low voice, turned over and got off the kang, put on his own sandals shoes, gently opened the door panel of the shack, and got out, vaguely, He heard the howling of wolves in the deep woods.
But when I listened carefully, I didn't seem to hear anything.
Looking at the five pups who stood up and stared at the forest in the distance, Lu Lu knew that the wolves were in the forest.
However, after a while, Yuan Bao fell silent, and lay down again in the snow nest at the door, and several other puppies crowded together, curled up and lay down in a ball.
It's all right!
Lu Lu shook his head slightly, and walked towards the hut a little farther away to solve the urgent need. When he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard the door opening outside. is the door of the middle shack.
A figure came out, Lu Lu thought that the person who came out was going to go to the latrine, and was about to cough to remind him that there was someone in the latrine, but saw that person tiptoeing towards another small hut next to the hut, he stopped quickly .
This man looks suspicious!
What do you want to do?
Lu Lu watched silently.
That small shack is lived in by wooden gangs.
When he came, Lu Lu not only told the manager of the forest farm, but also greeted the head of the wood gang, so he knew.
Under the moonlight, Lu Lu recognized that the person who walked towards the small shack was the brother of the leader of the wood gang. When saying hello, Lu Lu saw his two brothers eating together in the small shack, and the leader's wife, He was also led up the mountain to help with cooking and heating the kang, and at night, he went to various shacks to add firewood.
People from the forest farm often come to check the situation and make logging arrangements, especially the ruler inspection. These people need to be treated well, because as long as they show a little something between their hands, the head and the people below can make a lot of money.
In that shack, he just lived with his wife. What is this guy doing at the door in the middle of the night?
Seeing him walking to the door and looking in through the gap in the shack, Lu Lu's expression became strange: It's hard to touch... Sister-in-law?
For a while, squatting in the hut, he wanted to go back to the shack, but he was afraid of bad people and good things, but if he didn't go back, he would already be squatting until his feet were a little numb.
Fortunately, the man just peeped for a while, then groped to the side to pee, and then returned to the shack.
Lu Lu waited for a while, then got up and went back to the shack, and told Zhao Tuanqing and his father about the situation: "The wolves have been in the forest, but they left again! You should be fine tonight, sleep peacefully!"
The next morning, there was still a long time before dawn, and someone in the shack got up.
These are sledge men.
They have to get up the earliest every day, busy feeding their horses, and counting on the horses to make money for the next day's work, they have to eat and drink enough to have strength.
There was movement in the shack, and Lu Lu and Zhao Tuanqing couldn't sleep anymore, so they could only go down to the kang, gather firewood outside, bake sticky bean buns and eat them, and throw a few ingots to feed them. At dawn, Lu Lu led the way to the direction where he heard the howling of wolves last night.
When we got to the place, we saw wolf paw prints again, and, judging by the density of these paw prints, the wolves lingered here for a long time before heading east.
The three of them rode their horses to catch up immediately. As a result, after searching for more than two hours, they found that the wolves had gone around for a long time and returned to the No. 13 logging site. There was even a wolf's footprint, which had been to the kitchen of the logging site.
Lu Lu pushed the kitchen door open and took a look. There were a few stupid chickens and some pork in the big basin, as well as some miscellaneous vegetables and mushrooms.
Those wolves must have taken a fancy to the meat here!
"Set a trap!" Lu Lu didn't have that much time.
