The Great Northern Wilderness refers to the vast barren plains in the Songhua River basin of the Nenjiang River in Heilongjiang, with a total area of 55,300 square kilometers. The Great Northern Wilderness has the reputation of "squeezing the black soil to make oily flowers and inserting a pair of chopsticks to sprout". The surface rivers are vertical and horizontal, the groundwater is considerable, and the atmospheric precipitation is abundant, which is extremely suitable for agricultural development. In April 1950, more than 5,000 people from the Liberation Regiment of the Political Department of the Northeast Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, led by regimental leader Wang Shiying, drove into the uninhabited wilderness—Beidahuangtun and reclaimed the border, establishing the first mechanized farm in New China. —— Baoquanling Farm.
宝泉岭 was very desolate when it was first built. The local beasts have never even seen people. The swamps are full of fish, shrimps and toads. You can even catch big fish in shallow water with bare hands. In the wilderness, birds and beasts flock, pheasant wild ducks and swans big goose white cranes are everywhere, and in summer there are flocks of snakes and beasts in the Great Northern Wilderness. Scooping fish and pheasants flying into the rice pot is a true portrayal of the Great Northern Wilderness at that time. At that time, there were no animal protection laws and regulations. If the country wanted to produce food, it had to drive away or even kill the wild beasts on this land. The production teams under the state-owned farms would often organize militias to hunt down the beasts that harm crops and livestock. By the 1970s and 1980s, the wild beasts of the Great Northern Wilderness had been hunted for 20 to 30 years and there were very few left.
I am a child of a post-70s farm who grew up in the Great Northern Wilderness. I remember that at that time, the employees of the state-owned farm lived in public houses. There were seven red brick and red tiles in a row, and brick houses with red roofs were neatly planned. , The conditions are much better than those in the countryside. The Baoquan Mountain in my memory is very beautiful. In summer, the verdant mountains are full of colorful wildflowers. The grasses are covered with mushrooms, hericium and fungus, daylily and hazelnuts, 乌桐河, toot There are dense layers of mountain red, wheat noodles, wild capers, wild grapes, wild capers... When I was seven or eight years old, I followed my father to pick mushrooms on the North Mountain.Remember that mushrooms must be picked after the rain, and it is best before the sun comes out. At that time, the mushrooms in the grass just grew out, even before the umbrella was opened, the taste was the most delicious. My father taught me many kinds of mushrooms: oil mushrooms, Grass Mushroom, True Mushroom, Pine Mushroom, Leiwozi, Hualian Mushroom... Mushrooms all grow out of the grass in a circle. Sometimes you can find a large circle of mushrooms to pick up a basket; There are hundreds of mushrooms in Quanling. Many mushrooms are poisonous and difficult to distinguish. My father told me a secret: The mushrooms that people can eat, bugs prefer to eat, and there are many bugs crawling on the umbrella cover. When you reach a circle of mushrooms, you don't even crawl on them to eat. They must be poisonous, so don't pick them. The freshly picked chicken stew with fresh mushrooms is the most delicious. Unfortunately, my parents are teachers who have no time to raise chickens. I have never eaten fresh chicken stewed with mushrooms. The freshly picked mushrooms can be stewed with meat. It's already very satisfying. The newly picked mushrooms are picked up and cleaned. Mother will hang them under the eaves in bunches with a needle and thread to dry for winter eating. There will be red peppers and corn cobs hanging under the eaves...
In the 1970s and 1980s, many farm workers had shotguns and would go out hunting in their spare time. My neighbor next door was named Ma. I called him Grandpa Ma. He was a hunter. Grandpa Ma has two shotguns, a single-barreled shotgun and a double-barreled shotgun. When I was a child, I was very obsessed with guns. I let me give a hug. When I was seven or eight years old, I felt that the shotgun was so heavy. Grandpa Ma has two hounds, one is a black terrier, and the other is a poodle. These two dogs were trained by Grandpa Ma. They are very good-looking. When I touched their foreheads, they kept shaking at me. Tail. These two dogs were raised freely when they were at home. Grandpa Ma would wear collars to them when hunting. I clearly remember that the collar was thorny. I once curiously asked Grandpa Ma how to wear such a collar to the dog? Grandpa Ma said that this barbed collar was made of car tire leather and iron nails to protect the dog's neck from being bitten by wild animals. Grandpa Ma said that the key to the beasts of dogs and tigers and wolves is their necks. When the beasts fight, they like to bite each other’s neck. Putting a stinged collar on the hunting dog is not afraid of being locked by the beast.Even if you encounter tigers, bears and hounds, you can protect yourself and escape, and if you encounter wolf hounds, you can even kill them. I was very surprised when I heard it: "Grandpa Ma, don't you mean one-on-one, a dog can't beat a wolf?" "This barbed collar is like armor for a hunting dog. If you wear it, you will be killed. Protected, the hound can bite the wolf’s neck but the wolf dare not bite the hound’s neck. When the size is about the same size, the wolf can only escape!" Grandpa Ma said with a smile, and then he told me something. The story of a wolf killed by a hunting dog.
It was during the regiment period, when the company of the demobilized soldier Lao Han was near Xiaoxinganling , there were a lot of wild things in the mountains, he bought a shotgun when he was free, he would pull a hunting dog and go hunting. Han's hound is a yellow earthy dog. The family calls it rhubarb. Rhubarb is very spiritual and good at comprehending the owner's intentions. Old Han likes it very much. It was late autumn, and the hazelnuts in the mountains were ripe. This is Sunday, Lao Han asked a few friends to go into the mountain to pick hazelnuts. His eight-year-old son Xiaojun was clamoring to go together. Lao Han had no choice but to agree. There were the most mosquito bites in the hazelnut forest. Old Han knew that Xiaojun could not stand it for long. He took the rhubarb and let it accompany Xiaojun to play. Before departure, Old Han took out a thorn collar and fastened it around the rhubarb's neck— -Rhubarb is a hunting dog. Lao Han would wear this collar every time he went hunting in the mountains. He has developed a habit. Lao Han walked ahead with his bicycle and a few friends. His son Xiaojun followed along with his rhubarb. They walked over a mountain along the path. There was a hazelnut forest halfway up the mountain. Now the hazelnuts are ripe. Exactly. At the foot of the mountain, there was a gurgling stream winding by, and there were many wild fruit trees beside the stream. Xiaojun wanted to run over to pick wild fruit when he saw it. He was drunk by Old Han, and several of them parked their bicycles in the stream. At the same time, take the sacks and go up the mountain to pick hazelnuts.
Beidahuang's hazelnut tree belongs to shrub , about one person tall, with lush branches and leaves, the hazelnut fruit is covered with a green tube peel, if the hazelnut juice tastes sour and astringent The clothes are hard to wash off.The hazelnut forest in the middle of the mountain is densely grown. A fluffy hazelnut can be seen from the head up. Old Han and a few people walked into the hazelnut bush to pick it. Xiaojun followed his father with rhubarb. He carried a schoolbag and picked up a schoolbag. The hazelnuts will be poured into the sack held by the father. There are a lot of mosquito bites hidden under the leaves of hazelnuts. When picking hazelnuts, when you pull the branches with your arms, you will start a piece of mosquitoes, bites and even blinds. The Great Northern Wilderness has three harmful effects: "blind midges, mosquitoes and small bites". The most cruel punishment in the Northeast is to feed mosquitoes, strip people naked and hang them outside, and one night will be bitten by mosquitoes and sucked up blood. Blind midges are more numerous than mosquitoes. They fly fast and bite people fiercely. Even cows and horses are bitten by blind midges. If a person is nailed by a blind midge, it will swell up and become a big bag. A few days will not stop the swelling. The mosquitoes of the Great Northern Wilderness are large in number and bite people. They must wear thick clothes to work in the wild. In this way, the mosquitoes will not be nailed, but the exposed skin will be nailed out by the mosquitoes; The most abominable of the three hazards. She is much smaller than a mosquito. She can get in through the eyes of the screen window. The person who bites can't sleep well all night, and the number of small bites is amazing. The silent flight is really hard to prevent, but when it's sunny, the sun Little bite hid under the grass and did not dare to come out. Old Han was afraid that Xiaojun would be bitten by mosquitoes, so he applied a lot of cooling oil on his hands, face, and neck in advance, but he still couldn't stop the mosquito bites. After a while, Xiaojun’s head, face, and hands He was bitten out of a layer of bag, and it itched him so hard that he didn't want to stay in the hazel bushes anymore. "Dad, I bit too much, itching to death, I want to go down the mountain to wash..." Xiaojun yelled. "I got up early to tell you that there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, and you are still yelling! Do you want to pick wild fruits?" Old Han smiled. "Ah, my sister likes to eat red in the mountains, I want to pick a schoolbag for her!" Xiaojun replied. "Go, take the rhubarb, don't go far, there are wolves in this mountain," Lao Han said. "Dad, didn't you say that wolves in broad daylight can't come out?" Xiaojun asked. "Wolves generally don’t come out during the day, but it’s hard to tell about lone wolves. Lone wolves are all driven out by wolves. It’s not easy for a lone wolf to prey. So they will often take risks. When you go into the mountains, you have to be careful. ?" Old Han taught. "Well, I got it!" Xiaojun hopped down the mountain with his rhubarb.
The creek at the bottom of the mountain is clear and the bottom is visible, and the water is no more than knees. Xiaojun squatted by the stream and washed his head and arms full of bags. Rhubarb suddenly jumped into the stream and splashed Xiaojun on purpose. A whole body of water."Rhubarb, you are good or bad!" Xiaojun exclaimed and raised the water to fight back. Rhubarb kept jumping in the creek and having fun, one person and one dog had a great time. Xiaojun took out cooling oil and applied a layer on the bitten bags, feeling a lot more comfortable. There were a lot of mountain mangrove trees by the creek, covered with bunches of red mountain red. Xiaojun ran over to pick and eat. , Rhubarb was drooling while looking at the side, and shouted at Xiaojun "barking". Rural dogs are truly omnivorous. Cabbage and radishes even eat grass and leaves. Dogs raised in rural areas are fed only once a day, and then they run outside to hunt for wild food. They eat everything in the wild, so there is no need to worry. Will starve to death. Xiaojun threw a few bunches of red in the mountains to the rhubarb, and the rhubarb chewed up the meat and seeds and swallowed it. Maybe it's because the wild fruit is sour or very happy. Rhubarb asked for some wild fruit from Xiaojun to eat, and then ran out like a happy stroll, and then came back after shopping for a while. Xiaojun picked up a schoolbag full of mountain red. He hung the schoolbag on his bicycle. These mountain reds were brought to his sister. Xiaojun saw a smelly plum tree nearby and climbed up to pick it. The fruit of stinky plum is black. The berries are smaller than wild grapes. They are swift and sweet to eat. If you eat too much, your tongue will become numb. Xiaojun only ate a few bunches of fruit on the tree. Rhubarb squatted down and stretched out his tongue to look at him. Barking. "Rhubarb, you are too mixed!" Xiaojun picked off a few bunches of stinky plums and threw them down. After eating the rhubarb, he ran out to Sahuan again.
At this time, a wild wolf is staring at Xiaojun in the bushes. The human child is delicious. Although there is a dog beside him, the wild wolf feels that he can easily handle it. When the wild wolf saw the dog running out, Sa Huan quickly approached the small army under the cover of the bushes. Xiaojun ate a few bunches of stinky plums on the tree, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be wild grapes in the distance. He just wanted to go down the tree, and suddenly saw a big grey dog rushing towards him silently, Xiaojun instinctively Feeling wrong, he quickly climbed up the tree. When the big greyhound rushed under the tree, he suddenly jumped up and bit towards the army. The army was so shocked that he hugged the tree trunk and turned around to dodge. The Greyhound tore his trouser legs and fell off. Xiaojun was terrified. He knew that he had encountered a wolf. As he climbed up the tree, he shouted: "Wolf is coming...rhubarb, rhubarb..." After the wild wolf landed, he did not dare to delay. Get up, this time it jumps higher,He wanted to tear the yelling human child from the tree and eat it. Xiaojun often listened to his father telling stories about hunting at home. He still had some courage. He held the tree trunk with both hands and shrank his feet in a critical moment. The big bad wolf only bit off one of his shoes this time. The army was scared into a cold sweat. He climbed up the trunk desperately, but the wild fruit trees by the creek were not high. The army climbed to the canopy and was only more than four meters above the ground. The big gray wolf Watching the small army on the tree retreat a bit, after a run-up, he stepped on the trunk and jumped up high, opened his mouth and bit at him viciously. "Ah" Xiaojun yelled in fright. The wild wolf's big mouth had even touched Xiaojun's buttocks. He tore his pants when he bite. Xiaojun's pants were almost torn off and his buttocks were exposed. The little army was so scared that he almost fell from the tree canopy. "Rhubarb, rhubarb..." The little army yelled desperately.
The big bad wolf retreated a little further after landing. It looked up at the human child on the canopy of the tree. This time it was sure to tear him off and eat it. Just about to start, the big bad wolf suddenly heard the barking "barking" dog. It turned to look and saw a big yellow dog screaming and sprinting. The big bad wolf looked up at the child on the tree and rushed over. The dog, this dog is similar in size, but the big bad wolf feels that he can easily defeat the dog in front of him. The child on the tree has no way to escape and must quickly solve the dog in front of him. The big bad wolf roared and threw at the big yellow dog, wolf dog met, the big bad wolf instantly bit out more than 20 bites, although the big bad fight back, the big yellow fell out of the wind. After all, the wolf's fighting experience is much stronger than the domestic dog. Rhubarb, even a trained hunting dog, can’t bite a wild wolf. It was pulled by the big bad wolf’s two paws, followed by the big bad wolf on its back. On the neck, the big bad wolf swung his head and bite the rhubarb's neck quickly, but he heard a wailing, the big bad wolf bit on the thorn collar on the rhubarb neck, his mouth was pricked with blood by the iron thorn. It was dripping and it hurt so much that it hurriedly loosened its mouth and jumped away. Rhubarb is already five years old and has been a hound dog with Lao Han for four years. He fought with wolves on the mountain. Obviously, he knew the effect of the collar on his neck. Seeing that the big bad wolf was injured, Rhubarb took the opportunity to fight back. Go up and bite at the verge of the big bad wolf. The big bad wolf suffered a big loss just now,During this round of biting, I dared not bite the dog’s neck again, but the rhubarb could entangle it unscrupulously. The big bad wolf immediately fell under the wind, and a wolf and a dog circled each other around the smelly plum tree. Bite. "The wolf is here, help!" "The wolf is here, Dad..." Seeing the big yellow and the big bad wolf biting together, Xiaojun couldn't help shouting while holding the tree trunk.
Whether it is a fight between a wolf and a wolf or a bite between a dog and a dog, the most powerful trick is to lock the throat, and the best way to counter it is to lock the throat. Knowing that he has a collar to protect his neck, Rhubarb bites the big bad wolf's neck without any hesitation. The big bad wolf habitually uses a few times to lock his throat in a desperate counterattack. As a result, he was pierced with blood by the collar and bitten by the big yellow. Only the power to parry is left. The big bad wolf feels bad, the dog in front of him is difficult to deal with, let alone the child on the tree, it has no desire to fight, and suddenly he heard the small army yelling in the tree, big gray The wolf instinctively felt that it was bad and had to go. Suddenly it turned its head and bit out twenty or thirty bites, bit the rhubarb back, turned and ran up the mountain. Rhubarb seemed to have expected the wild wolf to run away. He rushed up and bit the hind leg of the big bad wolf. The big bad wolf turned his head in pain and locked his throat. Suddenly he thought that the thing on the big yellow dog's neck was pricked, so hurry up. The turning target bit Rhubarb’s ears. Rhubarb also has a fierce force. The ears were torn by the wolf and did not let go. The pain was so painful that the big bad wolf tried to bite the back of Rhubarb...
big The gray wolf limped and ran up the mountain. The big yellow dog chased it desperately, and quickly ran out of Xiaojun's sight. At this time, his father's cry came from afar: "Xiaojun, Xiaojun "Dad, the wolf is coming, the wolf is coming..." Xiaojun yelled, lying on the tree. Xiaojun didn't dare to get down from the tree until he saw his father. Old Han was terrified, and ran over to hug his son and asked with concern, "Xiaojun, how are you? Did you hurt?" "I'm on the tree." Well, it didn't hurt. Fortunately, Rhubarb saved me!" Xiaojun wanted to cry, but when he saw several of his father's friends ran over, he was afraid of being laughed at. Seeing that Xiaojun's pants were torn by the wolf, one of Lao Han's friends even called out for danger, and Lao Han was also secretly afraid. He held his son to take a closer look, and he was relieved to see that Xiaojun was intact. "Xiaojun, where's Rhubarb?" Old Han asked Xiaojun, letting go. "Rhubarb chased the big bad wolf and ran here. Fortunately, Rhubarb saved me just now. Let's go look at it, don't be bitten by the wolf!" Xiaojun said anxiously, pointing to the northwest."Rhubarb is a hunting dog. It will actively hunt down beasts. It wears a neck collar. Wild wolves can't hurt the rhubarb." Old Han took the army and a few friends hurriedly to the mountain, shouting while running the army. : "Rhubarb, rhubarb..."
The big bad wolf was bitten on his hind leg and couldn't run fast. He was chased by the big yellow and ran halfway up the mountain. At this time, the big bad wolf had been bitten by the big yellow, and his strength was weak. The fighting spirit declined sharply. Rhubarb suddenly rushed to the big bad wolf to bite. The big bad wolf was unable to get rid of it for a long time. Taking advantage of the exhaustion of the big bad wolf, the big yellow suddenly bit its neck, no matter how the big bad wolf tears it. The biting and struggling are not letting go, the struggle of the big bad wolf is getting weaker and weaker...
Lao Han led everyone to the mountain and ran a long way to hear the rhubarb cries. Everyone rushed to the middle of the mountain to see the rhubarb and the rhubarb. A gray wolf fell to the ground. Old Han walked over and saw the blood dripping on the gray wolf’s neck, but there was still a breath, and his body was convulsing. Old Han stepped over and the wolf wailed. Then he died. "Oh, the rhubarb was bitten and covered with blood!" Xiaojun exclaimed and hugged the rhubarb. His body was scarred, and his fur was covered with sweat and blood. Xiaojun felt very distressed. "Xiaojun, Rhubarb is all skin wounded, it's okay!" Old Han knelt down and patted Rhubarb's head and praised: "Rhubarb, you are good!" Rhubarb immediately became energetic when he heard the master's praise. Wagging his tail. "Old Han, Rhubarb is so good at locking his throat, he tore the wolf's neck apart!" a friend praised. "Rhubarb digs out the wolf's den, Doulang Rhubarb is already a veteran!" Old Han smiled.
