Chapter 415 Final Harvest
He helped carry the wild boar into the camp. Lin Heng inquired and found out that it was his uncle who first discovered and wounded him. Then the three of them chased for several hours before his elder brother shot him. Its death.
"This will be better. It's a female wild boar, probably two or three years old." Lin Yue said with a smile.
Lin Heng nodded and said: "Yes, it's okay. You guys warm up by the fire, and we'll burn the hair and then disembowel it."
While warming up by the fire, his uncle and his little brother My uncle began to learn how to change the shape of his tree branch grid to increase the stress area.
"Why, uncle and uncle, do you think this thing is useful now?" Lin Heng said sarcastically with a smile.
The two smiled awkwardly, and Lu Honghai said: "We originally thought this thing was useless, but after seeing Lin Yue use it, we realized that the effect is quite good."
"It seems that we don't have any You have life experience." Li Baiquan also smiled.
They originally thought that they were more experienced than Lin Heng in life, but now they no longer have this idea, and they have a feeling of admiration for Lin Heng.
"I was just joking." Lin Heng replied, then got pine needles and concentrated on burning pig hair.
When killing pigs on the mountain, the only option was to burn the hair with fire. It took a lot of effort to burn the pig hair cleanly.
Then there are the inherent processes of opening the intestines and breaking the belly, dividing the meat into strips, applying salt and hanging it to dry.
Because there is not much salt, I apply it very lightly this time, but it is not bad to use less salt when making bacon when the weather is cold.
They ate a tenderloin and stewed a pork leg in the evening. The rest were all made into bacon and dried. The same was true for the large and small intestines, which were left to dry.
Pig lungs are fed to dogs, while pig hearts, liver and kidneys are fried and eaten by humans.
The snow on the mountains cannot melt. After December, the mountains will basically be covered with snow to a greater or lesser extent, and peaks like Taibai Mountain are even more frozen.
In the next few days, in addition to smoking bacon, everyone went out to look for prey. Time passed quickly, and it was already December 3rd in the blink of an eye.
The sun came out this morning for the first time in a long time, and the snow was melting. The forest suddenly became very cold, and even people wrapped in animal skins felt shivering.
While eating, there was a ticking sound in the forest. The last bit of snow on the trees had completely melted, leaving only the snow on the forest floor that could remain firm.
“Let’s start packing today. If there are a lot of things, we will need to carry them twice more.”
Lin Heng said while eating.
Li Baiquan waved his hand and said, "I don't think it's necessary. There are five of us. The total of the things here only weighs four to five hundred kilograms. We can move them in one go and just walk slowly."
"Five people should be able to carry it all, but I don't know if the car can fit it." Lin Yue said, Xiaozhuo Township is so backward that it doesn't even have a tractor.
"This is indeed a problem. If it doesn't work, just make two trips." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.
"That's the only way it can be. I guess we can't win it in one trip." Lu Honghai said.
After eating, Lin Heng took a look at the things in the camp.
His main harvest:
Furries: 2 wolf skins, 1 yellow muntjac skin, half a forest musk deer skin, 1 stone mink skin, 1 white rice skin, 2 yellow-throated mink skins, 8 weasel skins, 5 rabbit skins, and 6 squirrel skins.
Meat: four golden pheasants, two grouse, three hazel grouse, one wild boar (already eaten), wolf meat (more than 40 kilograms), yellow muntjac meat (more than 20 kilograms) , forest musk deer meat (about ten pounds), yellow-throated mink meat (about five pounds).
In addition, he also harvested a portion of musk, as well as some saffron, cordyceps and cistanches.
All of the above must be shared with other people. He is the main contributor, and others have incidental contributions.
There are also things that belong to him alone: a bezoar, about one tael of saffron, a pound of cordyceps, 4 Yuan Datou and some change.
His eldest brother Lin Yue’s main harvest: 1 wolf skin, 2 yellow-throated mink skins, 2 weasel skins, 3 rabbit skins,
He also has horse musk skins and horse musk deer skins Musk, he and his uncle Li Baiquan harvested this together, each taking half the credit.
The meat he also left behind: yellow-throated marten meat (five kilograms), horse musk deer meat (about ten kilograms), 5 golden pheasants, 2 grouse, and 1 wax pheasant.
His uncle Lu Honghai: 1 roe deer skin, 1 white rice skin, 8 rabbit skins, and 2 weasel skins.
The meat he left behind: roe deer meat (about thirty kilograms), wild boar meat (one hundred and twenty kilograms), 12 wax golden chickens, 6 wax pheasants, and 18 wax bamboo chickens.
His third uncle Lu Honggang: 1 wild cat skin, 5 rabbit skins, 12 red squirrel skins, and one weasel skin.
Meat: five wax golden chickens, eight wax bamboo chickens, and three wax grouse.
Besides, he also dug some herbs.
His uncle Li Baiquan: 8 rabbit skins, 5 squirrel skins, 1 weasel skin, horse musk skin (halved)
Meat: horse musk meat (about ten pounds), three wax rabbits, wax rabbits 5 golden pheasants, 2 wax grouse, and 11 wax grouse.
He himself exchanged a lot of cordyceps for daily necessities and sold some of the money.
......
Lin Heng sorted things out first and found that there were indeed quite a lot. There is much more to imagine.
In addition to meat, there is also bear fat bear meat here, and a lot of animal intestines and intestines are also dried.
When he took out the merit book to calculate the credits, he was even more confused. Each prey had different credits, so we had to go back and calculate them bit by bit later.
"So it seems that we have all benefited from Lin Heng and you guys." Li Baiquan was a little embarrassed, he was the only one who had the least prey.
"Including black bears, Lin Heng has killed more prey than all of us combined." Lu Honggang also praised.
"It seems that the effect of setting traps is much better than just hunting, and your method of trapping prey." Lu Honggang also said.
"Brother, you can teach me when you get back." Lin Yue was also a little shocked.
Normally, people don’t think so even if they don’t count them, but now that they have been counted, Lin Heng has crushed them all.
The biggest reason for this is that the traps arranged by Lin Heng are so effective that they continue to work.
Also, Lin Heng also caught a lot of small prey, but many of them didn't catch small prey at all, they just wanted to catch big prey. The result is often that the big ones cannot be obtained and the small ones cannot be obtained.
This made the other four people a little embarrassed, feeling as if they had taken advantage of Lin Heng.
"Don't think too much, everyone. I can get so many because you are with me. I can't come alone and I can't stay for so long." Lin Heng waved his hand.
What he said is true. It is true that he can achieve these gains only with everyone working together. He can't do it alone.
And the little profit that was given out was nothing to him. He was just a bezoar and made a lot of money this time.
He also thanked everyone. Without their suggestion to come here, he wouldn't have wanted to come, so he wouldn't have had this opportunity.
"It seems that we will still have to set traps for long-term hunting in the future." Lin Yue said with emotion.
"Indeed, I estimate that if we also set up some traps, the harvest will increase a lot." Lu Honggang nodded.
They just wanted to run into the mountains, but they didn't expect that setting traps would be so effective.
"The snow melted today, so let's start moving things tomorrow." Lin Heng said while looking at everyone.
"In this way, tomorrow we will send four people to move things. When we arrive at Xiaozhuo Township, one person will return, and the remaining three will drive back to the village to pick up the things. After returning to the village, only one will be in the village. "If the remaining two people come here again, we should be able to get everything back," Li Baiquan said. "I think so too." Lin Yue nodded.
"Then let's set off and go up the mountain. Maybe we can still gain something in the last two days."
Lin Heng said this and took Xiongba off to find prey,
It’s not easy to walk in the forest when the snow melts. A lot of the snow has already frozen into ice, and now it’s even more slippery with the addition of water droplets. Xiongba can paddle very far while walking.
Lin Heng's main purpose is to check his traps. These traps will be dismantled after he comes back from moving things once. There is no rush now, maybe there will be something harvested in the last two days.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of branches breaking. He turned around and saw a beautiful red squirrel running towards the distance with a chestnut in his arms.
"Forget it."
He shook his head and was about to leave, not wanting to take action against this little guy again.
Leading Xiongba along the way, constantly checking the traps, the forest is now extremely quiet, the autumn leaves have begun to rot, and it is difficult to see the extra color.
Although the sun came out, it was still very turbid, like a dim tungsten light bulb stained with oil at home. The sky was gray, with no blue sky or white clouds.
The occasional touch of green is one of the few vitalities in this winter.
"Damn, it's too cold."
Lin Heng wrapped up his clothes. It was too cold to melt the snow, even if he was wrapped in animal skins, it would have no effect.
"Brother, have you gained anything there?"
After walking for a while, Lin Yue asked aloud.
“No, it’s hard to find grouse when the snow melts.” Lin Heng shook his head.
"Then it looks like today is going to be fruitless." Lin Yue sighed, and he had gained nothing.
Soon the two of them walked out of the forest and headed towards the barren mountains in the north. Lin Heng went to see the traps, and his eldest brother went to look for prey together.
The wind here is stronger, and the blowing sound makes people’s faces hurt and their eyes water. The more you go up the mountain, the worse it becomes.
The cold wind in the northwest is too ruthless, and exercise doesn’t warm me up at all.
While walking, Lin Heng suddenly stopped. He looked at the bottom of the cliff in the distance and was stunned. He stared at it and then shouted back: "Brother, come here quickly, big harvest." Ah.”
"What?"
Lin Yue was stunned, and then ran over quickly.
“The trap I set near the salt mine finally worked. Look, it’s such a big sika deer!”
Lin Heng pointed to the bushes under the cliff in the distance. There was a sika deer struggling, but it could not break free. It was obviously caught in his trap.
“Holy shit, it’s such a big sika deer. Brother, the trap you set this time is so profitable!!”
Lin Yue's eyes were as wide as bells, and he couldn't imagine that Lin Heng's trap would work again at this time.
Lin Heng was not surprised, just excited: "I said there should be prey. How could there be no prey near this natural salt mine? Sure enough, I met it. Huang Tian has lived up to his hard work."
Wild animals need salt just like people. Without salt, they will die and cannot survive. Lin Heng was very excited when he found these three places naturally containing salt. He felt that the traps set up here were definitely the safest.
It just backfired. The traps in other places were all filled with prey, but these three places that were most likely to have high hopes were not. This should not be done at all.
Now it seems that this situation makes everything clear. Sika deer, this thing can easily weigh upwards of one hundred kilograms, and the big one can weigh three hundred kilograms, which is much larger than a roe deer and a muntjac.
The most important thing is that it is not only big but also valuable.
"Brother, do you think we should capture it alive?" Lin Yue asked a question.
This is also the question Lin Heng is thinking in his mind. The sika deer is not dead and can be captured alive, but should he do this?
“Kill!”
Lin Henglue made up his mind after thinking about it. He explained, “This thing should weigh a hundred or two kilograms. It would be too difficult to control if captured alive, so why not Just kill him.”
Although sika deer can be raised and their antlers cut, it is too far away from his home. There are nearly 30 kilometers of mountain roads just to get to Xiaozhuo Township. It is impossible for this thing to walk obediently and might run away accidentally. .
So it is easiest to kill and cut into meat. The most important thing is that velvet antlers are not as valuable and scarce as musk, and there are many people who breed sika deer.
Of course, if it was near his home, he would definitely choose to capture it alive.
"You're right, then kill him." Lin Yue nodded in approval.
He loaded the bullet, and then the two of them walked directly that way with the dog.
"Yoyo!!"
"Yoyo!!"
The sika deer saw two people and a dog approaching and struggled wildly, but Lin Heng used a steel wire, and the ones on its feet were also large It couldn't break free from the bear trap.
“Don’t think about running away.”
Lin Heng rushed up and restrained his two horns. This guy had lost too much blood, and he had been exercising for many years to become stronger. Give it a chance to struggle, then grab its neck and push it to the ground.
Lin Yue also rode on this guy's body from behind, and the two grown men completely controlled him.
Lin Yue sat on the sika deer and restrained his legs and said with a smile: "This guy is injured like this and is still so fierce. He deserves to be a sika deer."
"That's Zan Ran, first of all Just tie it up and talk." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Okay, you have to control it." Lin Yue nodded, took out the rope from his backpack and tied the deer's legs, and tied it up completely in a short while.
“Yo yo!!”
At this time, the two of them let go and the sika deer was completely unable to escape and could not even stand up.
"This must weigh two hundred kilograms. Lend me that hunting book later. I must learn from it." Lin Yue sighed as he looked at the sika deer on the ground.
“No problem.”
Lin Heng agreed with a smile while digging a hole in the ground with a hatchet.
The rain-proof film paper they carry with them can be used to catch deer blood after digging a hole and spreading it in the hole. If you can keep the deer blood, keep it as much as possible. Good things cannot be wasted. .
"Ah oooo~"
The male bastard was licking the blood at the feet of the sika deer, looking very excited.
“Okay.”
In ten minutes, they dug a big hole and folded the film paper in half and laid it in.
