Chapter 814 Invitation to the Hunting Team
When the captain heard Liu Jingxue say that Zhou Mingxuan had gone to buy the return train ticket, he couldn't help but frowned.
I couldn't help but regret not organizing a hunting team into the mountains a few days ago, and dragging it on until now.
But he had no choice. It had been snowing for the past few days and the snow was so heavy that it would not be good to let the hunting team go into the mountains in the snow.
It is more dangerous to go into the mountains in winter than usual, and it becomes even more dangerous if it snows.
The captain looked at Liu Jingxue. With her there, and her brother who was a soldier, there shouldn't be any problem even if Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao didn't go.
And from what she said just now, her elder brother will also come to the Red Star Production Team.
I don’t know what her eldest brother does, or whether he is also a soldier.
If her eldest brother was also a soldier, it would be safer if she asked him to go into the mountains with the hunting team.
Liu Jingxue noticed the captain's frown and asked curiously,
"Captain, what do you want to talk to my brother about?
Why don't you tell me and I'll tell him when I get back in the afternoon, so you don't have to make a second trip."
The captain nodded, "That's fine."
"Xiaoxue, the last time the hunting team went into the mountains, the harvest was not very good, so the team plans to go into the mountains again before the New Year.
Now that the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, it’s time to go into the mountains.
We trust your abilities, and your brother is from the army, so he must be quite skilled.
I would like to invite you to go into the mountains with the hunting team when the time comes."
Remembering that his uncle had instructed his second brother to go into the mountains with the hunting team to protect the safety of the villagers, Liu Jingxue agreed without any hesitation.
“Captain, that’s no problem. I can make the decision for my brother, and we will go into the mountains with the hunting team.
Not only will my second brother go, I will also bring my eldest brother along.
But they have no weapons, so you have to prepare two shotguns for them.
After all, they are all soldiers and are more comfortable with guns.”
When the captain heard this, he thought it was nothing wrong to just help prepare the hunting rifle.
Their production team still has more than a dozen hunting pines.
Some people who have hunting rifles are not very good at shooting. When the time comes, let them give them up and let Xiaoxue's elder and second brothers use them.
The captain readily agreed, "Okay, Xiaoxue, I'll take care of the shotgun.
By the way, Xiaoxue, do you know when Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing will return home? "
Liu Jingxue shook her head, "I don't know.
Zhou Mingxuan went to buy the ticket and would not be back until the afternoon. Only then would we know which day he bought the ticket.
But I don’t think I’ll be there in the next two days.
Zhou Mingxuan went to buy the ticket but didn't bring his luggage. If he was going to leave immediately, he had to take his luggage with him.
Zhao Junhao will also go with us."
“When they come back this afternoon, tell them if they can go into the mountains with the hunting team if they have bought tickets for a few days later.
This time we plan to go early and return on the same day without staying overnight in the mountains.
After all, it is freezing cold and food is scarce. The wild animals in the mountains might come out to look for food. It is not safe to spend the night in the mountains." The captain requested.
Although there are two more soldiers, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao are both quite skilled, so the captain still wants them to go together as it would be safer.
Liu Jingxue did not agree immediately. After all, she didn't know when the hunting team would enter the mountains. If they happened to arrive the day before or on the day the two men returned to Beijing, she would agree on their behalf so as not to cause them to break their promise to the production team.
Besides, her friendship with Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao was not deep enough for her to make decisions for them.
"Captain, I'll tell them.
But you have to tell me when the hunting team plans to go into the mountains.
Without time, it would be difficult for them to agree.
If it happens to be the day they are supposed to go home, then it will be delayed."
The captain looked at the sky and said, "I checked with the old people in the village and they said there will be no snow in the next two days.
Your eldest brother and his friends just arrived today, so they definitely need some rest.
We will take a rest tomorrow and go into the mountains early the day after tomorrow."
"Tell them we're going into the mountains the day after tomorrow and see if they can come along."
When Liu Jingxue heard that it would be the day after tomorrow, she felt that the matter should be settled.
After all, according to the ideas of several elders, they wanted Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao to leave later, stay with Liu Jianguo's family for a few more days, and enhance their relationship.
There are still eight or nine days before the Chinese New Year, so the two of them will not leave immediately. The hunting team will go into the mountains the day after tomorrow, and they should be able to catch up.
Even so, Liu Jingxue did not agree on their behalf, but said to the captain,
"Don't worry, Captain. I'll tell them about this when they come back this afternoon."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Xiaoxue.
I don’t know when they will be back, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to see them if I go to their house.”
"Don't worry, Captain. My elder and second elder brothers will still have to sleep at their place. I will tell them.
They haven't asked you for leave or a letter of introduction yet.
As long as they don’t ask you for a letter of introduction tomorrow, they won’t go back the day after tomorrow, and this will be a sure thing.” Liu Jingxue comforted.
When the captain heard this, he agreed.
The two men exchanged a few brief words, and the captain turned and left.
After the captain walked away, Liu Jingxue closed the gate and returned to the house.
Liu Jingxue released her spiritual consciousness and explored into the mountains.
At this time, there were no animals wandering around in the mountains; they were all hiding in their nests.
However, Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense discovered traces of large animals outside, and it seemed that they went outside to look for food.
Ever since the wolves came down the mountain that year, Liu Jingxue would use her spiritual sense to scan every once in a while last winter and this winter to see if there were any large animals coming to the outskirts.
If there are any creatures approaching the nearby villages, Liu Jingxue will use her spiritual sense to drive them inside.
Otherwise, you would think that there have been no incidents of wild beasts entering the nearby villages in the past two winters, while such incidents happened every year in previous years. This is all thanks to Liu Jingxue.
Of course, Liu Jingxue also doesn't want those animals that can't find food to starve to death.
After driving them into the mountains, she would release some poultry for breeding, so that they would not really starve to death, which would also be her fault.
Liu Jingxue could occasionally bring out animals from the mountains in her space under the pretext of going into the mountains and eat them together with a few people, but she could only enjoy the poultry alone.
This resulted in a lot of poultry in her space, which was the result of her reducing the number of poultry she kept.
But every winter, the poultry she raised did find some use, so it wasn't a waste.
Mainly those ferocious beasts, in later generations, basically became protected animals.
It would have been fine if she hadn't seen it, but now that it was right in front of her, Liu Jingxue had to watch them starve to death. She couldn't bear it, so she had no choice but to do so.
As for those poultry, Liu Jingxue could only say sorry to them.
Anyway, whether they are eaten by her or by wild beasts, they cannot escape the fate of being eaten, so it doesn't matter to them.
