Hongxing Commune is actually built on the mountain. There is no flat land in this area. It is the land dug out by generations of predecessors with shovels and pickaxes.

There is a small road that goes directly up the mountain behind the village. Only people and horses can walk up it. Cars must go around the village and go up the mountain along the winding road.

In the cockpit, while giving directions to the driver, Mr. Zhao told Li Xuewu: "There are many treasures in this mountain. Let's just talk about the iron ore. It has been mined since the Song Dynasty. What we are going to now is the mine that was mined in the early years."

A mountain road for transporting iron ore and timber.”

Speaking of the Song Dynasty, Miyun has some relationship with a famous general of the Song Dynasty. A general from the Yang family was guarding Miyun here.

Li Xuewu saw that although the road was rugged and bumpy, it did not impede the passage of trucks and could withstand the crushing of ore and logs for thousands of years. The road had become one with the mountain, hard and vicissitudes of life.

"There are eight sceneries in Miyun: the fairy lantern of the pagoda, the sound of the holy water, the clear light of the white sandalwood, the dawn color of the green hole, the scattered colors of the rosy peaks, the auspicious appearance of the water marsh, the five peaks in the sky, and the returning sun. These are passed down in the early years. If you have time, you can

Come and hang out”

Seeing that Mr. Zhao speaks so eloquently, he must have been out of the mountains and seen the world when he was young. Just think about it and you will know how it is possible that someone who can educate his children and grandchildren to be so sensible and be respected by his uncle who is the village party secretary can be a simple person.

.

Li Xuewu has not visited the current capital since he changed his job. He has been wandering around the DC area, and the farthest he went was to collect firewood.

The train trip does not count, because the train departed at night and saw nothing. When it came back, it was in time for the city that I entered when I was sleeping, and I saw nothing.

I have never visited the city, let alone outside the city, but later generations know that the scenery here is indeed good.

"Master, if I have the chance, I will definitely come here to hang out. Speaking of which, our leader is also a retired soldier. I heard that he also likes hunting. When I have time, I will bring him to our place to play."

Yin Mancang, who was standing near the rear window, smiled and answered: "That's a good relationship. We have horses and dogs in our village. It's most convenient to go up the mountain. We'll give you a good reception when you come."

Li Xuewu responded with a smile: "If you come back with me today, you can invite him personally."

"Hahaha, that's settled then"

Yin Mancang laughed and retracted his head.

This road is really not easy to walk on. My head got stuck in the back window while talking, and it was easy to get my head stuck due to the bumps up and down.

Along the winding mountain road, we circled all the way up. When we encountered a ditch, the boys in the back truck got out of the car and pushed it over.

After stopping and stopping, we drove for nearly an hour before entering the mountains.

This time, Zhao Yajun had walked much further than the last time he took him into the mountains. There were already mountains all around that had to be looked up to see the tops. There were rugged rocks up and down the mountain peaks, giving the impression of a thin line of sky.

When you reach the end of the mine tunnel, you can see the mines built next to the mountain. Some have collapsed, and some are still intact and hidden in the mountain. Some are high and some are low, like monsters opening their mouths to devour everyone.

.

Li Xuewu asked the driver to wait in the car without getting out of the car. He took the long gun handed over by the driver, pulled the charging handle to drive the gun bolt back, and put the gun in his hand into the empty position.

Take the bottom of the bridge clip with bullets handed over by the driver and insert it into the bridge clip fixing groove of the ejection port. Press the bullets down hard to fill all 10 rounds of bullets into the magazine.

Pull out the air bridge clip forcefully, pull the bolt back again to release it, let go and let the bolt automatically retract and load, load the chamber, turn off the safety and carry it on your back.

Then he wrapped the bullet sling handed over by the driver around his shoulder and helped Mr. Zhao out of the car.

The eight squad leaders leading the way over there have dismounted and have spears in their hands.

Li Xuewu opened the trunk and asked the young people to jump out of the car one by one. He also used his hands to hold on to several "hairy rabbits" that were jumping so hard that they were about to fall forward.

Yin Mancang was the last one to jump out of the car, and he and Mr. Zhao went to the mine to look around, discussed it, and walked towards Li Xuewu.

"Xuewu, there may be wild boars or something in these mines. Cat Dong'er. This has happened before. Let's put stones at the door first, then smoke smoke inside, and sprinkle dried chili peppers. Let's try it.

Is there any? If so, it’s just right. If not, let’s go up the mountain.”

"Not to mention that we are both a car and a dog, the sound of us jumping down is quite loud. If there is anything in the hole, it has already escaped."

Yin Mancang replied: "Everyone who was at the entrance of the cave must have run away early, but some things go deep. This mine has no edges on either side. We dare not go in. We can easily get lost."

Seeing that Yin Mancang was sure, Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Uncle, please make arrangements."

After hearing Li Xuewu's agreement, Yin Mancang pointed to several cave entrances and explained to a team leader.

Several team leaders and dozens of young men tied the dogs to the side of the car and began to pile stones at the entrances of the three mines that were still intact.

Afraid of something suddenly bursting out of the cave, several squad leaders held their guns and guarded nervously.

Time was limited, and he was afraid that the things in the cave would react, so Mr. Zhao asked the young men to use logs from the edge of the mine to block the entrance of the cave.

These logs were used to transport ore to make sleepers or rolling logs in the early days. They are somewhat decayed, but they are still barely usable.

The gap is a little big, but it's also convenient for smoke to get in.

Seeing that the entrance to the cave was tightly blocked, a few young men smashed the rotten rolling logs and stacked them at the three entrances of the cave.

Because he didn't know which cave had the entrance, Mr. Zhao randomly picked a hole in the middle and lit it with dry firewood and broken wood.

I don’t know how many years these pieces of wood have been decayed, exposed to wind and sun.

Yes, it works very well, and the fire is also strong.

Seeing that the fire was starting, Mr. Zhao spread the pine branches that the young men had broken off on top of the fire.

The pine branches contain pine oil, which is not easy to burn, and because it snowed in winter, a layer of ice ballast is frozen on the surface. The pine oil and ice ballast produce a lot of thick smoke when baked by the wood fire.

Mr. Zhao was choked and ran away with tears. Several team captains were choked and ran back with their guns. Only a few young ones were left using pine branches to fan the entrance of the cave, but they were all beaten in all directions.

The smoke from the blowing made me feel uncomfortable.

"How long will this fan last? Get out of the way," the driver who was watching the excitement shouted to Li Xuewu and the others. Seeing the people at the entrance of the cave move away, he parked the truck sideways at the entrance of the cave, with the exhaust pipe facing the fire.

.

"Buzz~"

The driver stepped on the accelerator a few times, and the exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe blew violently toward the fire, and thick smoke was blown into the mine.

Seeing that the fire was burning fiercely, a team leader grabbed a large handful of dried chili peppers from the pocket on his horse and threw it on the fire, and then covered it with a layer of pine branches covered with ice.

At this moment, even the people near the entrance of the cave couldn't stand, and everyone ducked back due to the spicy smell.

During this period of tossing, there was no movement in the mine in the middle. The hunting dogs that were tied to the car but were now being led by a few people began to bark "woof", all in the direction of the hole on the left.

Everyone heard the sound of hitting wood at the hole on the left.

Li Xuewu ran over there carrying a long gun, and three or four squad leaders carrying guns also followed.

Li Xuewu ran a hundred or ten meters and saw a dozen silly roe deer jumping out of the cave entrance in a mine that was much higher than the middle entrance. However, the entrance to the cave was sealed with logs and stones, and they could not escape even after stumbling.

Seeing that it was a silly roe deer, the team captains relaxed and laughed and waved to Li Xuewu to let him shoot.

Li Xuewu was not polite, because the guns brought by the squad leaders could not be used. They were sand guns, so-called shotguns.

Once the shot was fired, these stupid roe deer would be injured, and the meat would no longer need to be eaten. The injured side of the meat would be full of sand.

Li Xuewu gently opened the safety, held the gun, and aimed at the few silly roe deer still trying to jump out of the hole.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Li Xuewu fired five shots in a row and easily hit the target's head. There was a commotion at the entrance of the cave. When he saw five of his companions falling to the ground, the remaining silly roe deer froze for a moment and ran towards the cave again.

Yin Mancang and Mr. Zhao, who had just followed, also walked up to a few people.

"Xue Wu, what's wrong? The bullet is jammed?"

This Type 56 has ten rounds of ammunition.

Seeing that Li Xuewu only fired five shots and thought Li Xuewu's gun was jammed, Yin Mancang stepped forward and asked.

Li Xuewu smiled, lowered the muzzle of the gun, and opened the mechanism next to the trigger. The bottom cover of the magazine popped open with a "click" and five bullets fell out. Li Xuewu reached out, took the bullets in his hand, and put them into his pocket.

, and gently closed the bottom cover of the magazine with a hand.

"No, I saw that those stupid roe deer were from the same group, and there were small ones following behind, so I picked up the big ones and shot five of them."

After explaining, he took out a bridge clip full of bullets from the bullet pouch and put it into the magazine, pulled the bolt and loaded the gun, and turned off the safety.

Li Xuewu's series of actions stunned several team leaders and the young people who followed him, especially the action of shooting just now. He stood as loosely as he could, swinging his arms slightly, and hit the stupid roe deer on the head with the gun.

At this moment, the unloading and reloading movements are even more fluid.

Mr. Zhao smiled and patted Li Xuewu on the shoulder without saying anything.

Yin Mancang showed a friendly smile, nodded to Li Xuewu, and asked a few young people to remove the logs and pull out the five silly roe deer.

Seeing several young men walking in front carrying a silly roe deer on their backs, Li Xuewu looked back. At this moment, there was a rush at the entrance of the cave. The remaining silly roe deer and their cubs ran out of the cave entrance and ran in along the edge of the forest.

Deep in the mountains.

Yin Mancang was extremely satisfied with Li Xuewu. This boy had an appetite for people like him. He was not greedy, capable, and could use his brain. Yin Mancang decided to try what Li Xuewu said in the Zhao family.

Sometimes the reason why you can't get something done is not the matter itself, but your pig teammates holding you back.

When Li Xuewu and others came back, they saw that there was no movement from the smoke that had been kept in the mine for a long time, so they used a shovel to move the fire to the hole on the right. The driver also drove the car there and blew smoke at the hole.

The squad leader grabbed another handful of dried chili peppers and threw them in, adding some fire.

While the smoke was burning, Li Xuewu asked the young people to voluntarily form eight teams, with five people in each group. They chose their own team leaders and took their dogs with them.

Li Xuewu felt that there was a nest of silly roe deer in this mine, and there was nothing in the other two cave entrances. He had already started to group the forty reserve team members into groups, preparing to enter the mountain soon.

In fact, Li Xuewu also did employee training and assessment in his previous life, and now it is equivalent to large-scale team building.

Why divide the team into groups of five?
