Chapter 510
On March [-]rd in Yangchun, wild geese migrate north;
On the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chongyang Festival, wild geese head south.
This is an old saying that people in mountain villages in the north often say, and it is a common scene in spring and autumn.
The Bird's Nest Island in Baoqing County is not far from the border. This is an isolated island of more than 200 square kilometers, surrounded by water on three sides and a swamp. It is a paradise for wild geese to inhabit and multiply.
In the swamp, there are few people and no other large beasts can set foot in it. Throughout history, there have been hundreds of thousands or even millions of beautiful wild geese.
In the reeds of Yan's Nest Island, there are wild goose nests all over the place. When the breeding season comes, white goose eggs are everywhere in the reeds.
In this season, if a person can row a boat to the island in the morning, pick up eggs in a basket, and return in the evening, he can pick up a lot of wild goose eggs, which can even fill a small boat.
Lu Lu was still far away in Shanghai and was about to go to Yan's Nest Island to become an educated youth. When he heard people say this on the train, he was full of interest in those wild goose eggs.
But at the same time, he was also thinking about a question: Are the residents near Bird's Nest Island really that stupid, don't they know how to go to the island to collect wild goose eggs to make a fortune?
When he had this thought, he also asked it.
The man said: "You probably don't know yet, the Great Northern Wilderness is very rich, the grain is piled up in mountains, the money on the street slips down to the waist, and even if you grab a handful of black soil on the ground, you can smash it hard." There are three treasures in the wilderness, ginseng mink fur antler, stick-beating roe deer to scoop fish, and pheasant flying into the rice pot. There are so many treasures and delicious food there, who would care about the broken wild goose eggs, Isn't it too small to lose the big, too pediatric!"
This person exaggerated what he said, and Lu Lu shook his head, disbelieving in his heart, but his curiosity was successfully aroused.
And on the same train, someone finally couldn't listen anymore.
This is a veteran with a broken arm. He looks like he is five or sixty years old. I can't go to the island, should I escape?
The veteran's surname is Ma. Lu Lu now has a deep impression on this veteran who only met once, but he can't remember the name. The reason why he has a deep impression on him is because of what he said .
The veteran's family is in a small fishing village on the banks of the Wusuli River, and his ancestors have made a living by fishing for generations.
According to him, you can eat salmon with two heads in three days. This fish is delicious and nutritious. It is the most delicious fish. I don’t know how many times better than wild goose eggs.
The small fishing village is not far from Yan's Nest Island. When fishing on the river, you can see the flocks of wild geese flying all over the sky on the island, which are countless.
These words made Lu Lu believe what the man said. There are countless eggs on the island. He began to imagine the dream of picking up wild goose eggs to make a fortune. His thoughts were simple: wild goose eggs are not as valuable as three treasures, but No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. If you work hard to pick it up, it is very possible to get rich if you get together.
But the veteran went on to say: "Bird's Nest Island, in fact, is not an island, but an endless swamp, called a big sauce tank, which is only suitable for large water birds such as wild geese, red-crowned cranes, and white swans. Animals don't want to take half a step.
Anyone who dares to venture into it will sink deep into the mud and rotten grass, turning into pickled radishes.All the people and animals that fall into it have no chance of surviving! "
In a word, Bird's Nest Island can eat people!
The dream of picking up wild goose eggs just born was suddenly punctured in Lu Lu's heart.
He began to think, this train might not be dragging them to die!
Lu Lu obviously believed in the words of that man and the veteran. At least, he didn't believe that there were such good things in this world.
My already bewildered heart was also a little panicked by these words.
Fortunately, the veteran added: "I haven't been back for many years. Hundreds of thousands of demobilized officers and soldiers have entered the wilderness for reclamation. They have already built farms on Yan's Nest Island. At this time, it should be easier to pick up eggs."
It was also this sentence that made Lu Lusheng want to go and have a look before talking.
In this way, he arrived at Yan's Nest Island in a daze, and stayed there for seven or eight years in a daze.
He is like a pony crossing a river. Only when he tries it himself can he know the depth and understand what the two of them said, which is out of touch with reality.
When he first arrived at Bird’s Nest Island and was still undergoing training, the leader emphasized more than once that he was not allowed to enter the swamp. I dare not have too many thoughts in a place that is close but daunting.
But after all, he is only a half-year-old boy, especially when he saw that the educated youth who came with him, someone actually brought a whole set of "Xue Dingshan West Expedition" comic strips, Lu Lu's eyes were fixed on Xue Dingshan On the matter of bending the bow and shooting the wild goose——the magical skill of shooting the arrow directly from the wild goose's mouth rekindled his idea of eating wild goose and picking wild goose's eggs.
They are all about the same age, if Xue Dingshan can do it, he thinks he can do it too.
As the saying goes: If you can eat a bite of a bird, you can't eat half a catty of a beast.
Lu Lv confidently found the highly elastic ash and steel wires, bent the ash and tied the steel wires to make a bow, and made arrow shafts out of reed stalks. Nail, after getting everything ready, ran to the edge of the farm, near the swamp, and shot arrows at the falling geese.
However, the size of wild geese is comparable to that of domestic geese. If they are too close, they will be scared away. If they are far away, if they occasionally shoot one, it will only lose some feathers.
The wild geese didn't eat it, but instead got ridiculed like "the toad wants to eat swan meat".
Not convinced!
The self-made bow and arrow couldn't shoot, so Lu Lu naturally thought of the gun.
Many old workers on the farm own such things as guns, ranging from old foreign guns, single-barreled, double-barreled, and [-]-barreled, etc., but who would dare to lend them to a half-baby so easily.
He had no choice but to find a way to do it himself. Lu Lu asked an educated youth who had played with powder guns for guidance, and pieced together a powder gun that others played with as a child.
This is not an ordinary weapon. I took out the second-legged firecrackers, took out the lower half of the propellant powder, put it into the eight-inch long barrel, stuffed two paper balls with iron rods, and put in twenty or thirty. Soybean grains of iron sand were shot, and then the paper cannon used to ignite the fire was pressed down, and he looked for the wild goose again with great air.
boom……
The deafening gunshots spread from the edge of the swamp, and the iron sand flew out. As a result, Lu Lu soon realized that he was thinking too naively. The gunpowder gun played by children still didn't have enough range.
So he changed his method and started to learn how to play with traps. Gradually, he was finally able to eat the meat of wild geese.
As I get more familiar with the situation of the farm, I can often eat wild goose eggs.
But the idea of making a fortune by collecting wild goose eggs and hunting wild geese was shattered: I went to work every day and then went to work, and I got wild geese and wild goose eggs, but there was no place to sell them, so I just sold them. It takes a lot of energy, but it can't be sold for a few dollars. The local people still lack wild geese to eat?
It was also in the battle of wits and courage with wild geese that Lu Lu germinated the idea of hunting, and began to study various skills frequently, until Zhao Tuanqing came to the farm, which really opened the door for him to the road of hunting.
Thinking about the details of his previous life, Lu Lu always had something indescribable in his heart.
This is a very complicated feeling, with sadness and joy.
What is sad is the previous life, and what is fortunate is also the previous life.
Without those experiences, he might not be able to go back to this big mountain and embark on the road of driving up the mountain.
But now, what he has to do is to actually pick up eggs, hunt wild geese, and make money from it.
It's like a reincarnation!
Raising wild geese is absolutely groundbreaking, allowing wild geese to be eaten in winter in the Northeast.
He also firmly believes that this will be a good way to make money.
After all, this is the fifth year of reform and opening up, and the number of rich people is increasing.
Along the way, apart from looking for a place to refuel and rest for a while, during the rest of the time, Lu Lu and Meng Zhaohua switched cars and drove at the fastest speed.
In the middle of the second day's night, the group finally arrived at Bird's Nest Island. With the letter of introduction from the forest farm to Nie Jingguo, they successfully entered the field department, and then walked towards the branch.
The current management is obviously much stricter than when Lu Lv led Chen Xiuyu last time, with special guards guarding them and interrogating them in various ways.
The last time the two of them came, there was nothing to hinder them.
Fortunately, the guards were old workers who knew Lu Lu, and some of them were from the last time Lu Lu went to the farm and left a reputation after beating wolves. It was quite smooth to enter all the way.
The car drove directly to the straw house he used to live in, led Zhang Shaofeng and others to clean up the house briefly, cooked a meal on the fire, drove for a long time and bumped, the group of people were exhausted, and each drank some The wine came to relieve fatigue, and then those who slept on the kang slept on the kang, and those who slept on the floor were on the floor, and the six lived in the straw house.
Early the next morning, Lu Lu got up, washed up briefly, picked up some fruits and canned food bought on the way, and went directly to Lei Meng's house.
On the way to the neighborhood, I ran into Raymond's daughters, Xiaolin and Xiaomeng, who were going to school.
Seeing it was Lu Lu, the two sisters immediately ran over with smiles and shouted together, "Uncle!"
"Where are you going to school?"
While talking, Lu Lu grabbed out the furnace fruit he was carrying, and stuffed a handful for each of the sisters.
The two little girls accepted it happily, and Lei Xiaolin asked, "Uncle, are you also here to beat dogs and wolves this time?"
"No, uncle is here to catch wild geese." Lu Lu rubbed the heads of the two little girls and asked, "Are your parents at home?"
"My father is at the safflower breeding base and hasn't come back for several days. My mother is at home, but she will go to work in the fields soon!" Lei Xiaomeng looked at Lu Lu with big eyes blinking: "Uncle, this time I will How many days are you staying here?"
"Maybe I have to stay for more than ten days... It's getting late, go to school quickly, and come back at night, uncle will hunt wild geese for you to eat!" Lu Lu urged with a smile.
The two little girls responded excitedly, and ran towards Changbu Primary School in a bouncing manner.
Lu Lv carried his things, walked to the door of Lei Meng's house, and clasped his fingers on the door three times.
Soon, Lei Meng's daughter-in-law Xue Shuqin opened the door, and when she saw Lu Lu, she quickly wiped her red and swollen eyes, and forced a smile, "Big brother... When did you come here?"
Lu Lu frowned slightly, Xue Shuqin had obviously just cried.
He quickly asked, "sister-in-law, is there something wrong at home?"
"Brother Meng... He was locked up by the field department!" Xue Shuqin grabbed Lu Lu's hand: "Big brother, you have to help me find a way!"
