Chapter 100 I’m so lucky today!
Li Long had already raised his gun when he saw the wolf, but the wolf reacted very quickly. After finding someone here, he immediately ran into the pine forest and disappeared in an instant.
"Wolf?" Harimu guessed it immediately when he saw Li Long's movements.
"Yes, it may be the wolf I met the day before yesterday - it has gray fur all over its body and a black mark on its face." Li Long described it and walked forward with a gun.
The two men chased into the valley ahead, but there was no trace of the wolf. Instead, two snow chickens jumped towards Li Long and others with fluttering wings.
"Bang!" Harimu moved very quickly and fired directly. He actually knocked the feathers of a snow chicken flying and fell to the snow.
Li Long was still a little unsure about shooting a moving target. He held his gun and waited until the snow chicken fell into the snow, then fired a shot.
The feathers exploded, and the snow chicken jumped up, then fell down without any movement.
Li Long went over to pick up the snow chicken and took a look. It was not big, and its feathers were white with a hint of grayish yellow. It only weighed a little more than one kilogram. The gun shot it in the abdomen, and a big hole was bleeding.
Li Long looked into the valley and could vaguely see snow chickens jumping into the pine forest in the distance.
There are still traces of plowing in the snow at the bottom of the valley and on the sunny side. The small pieces of shrubs and grass buried in the snow should be the food of the snow chickens.
Halimu also put the other snow chicken under his arm and continued walking inside.
"There should be more ahead, these guys can't fly far," he said, "It's better to shoot a few more, one can't cook."
The two continued to move forward, Li Long Looking around, his target was not the snow chicken, but the wolf.
He hoped to find the wolf and kill it, so that there would be no hidden danger.
However, when they reached the end of the valley, the two men shot three more snow chickens, but no sign of the wolf was seen.
Li Long felt that he and the wolf would meet again. This guy was very thief.
"Go back, the gunfire scared the roe deer away." Harimu carried three snow chickens, and Li Long strung two together, climbed over the southern ridge, and headed from another valley. Return west.
“There are wild goats with long horns in this mountain, but they should be gone now. The sound of gunfire will scare them away. These sheep are very timid.”
Halimu was right. There were indeed a lot of sheep dung eggs in this valley. There were traces of being stepped on in the snow, and the grass and moss under the snow had been eaten.
Li Long was a little disappointed. It was not worth it to scare away the wild goats and roe deer for a few snow chickens.
After all, meat is still more expensive these days. Although snow chickens will be very expensive in later generations, the current selling price is estimated to be lower than that of a domestic chicken.
Of course, good things are good things. Li Long plans to charge a high price when the time comes. If he can't sell them, he will keep them for himself.
Having been a man for two lifetimes, he has never eaten snow chicken.
While walking, Li Long suddenly saw a sheep's horn sticking out from under a big pine tree. He immediately ran over and pulled the thing out of the snow.
It turned out to be the skull of an ibex!
Two long scimitar-like horns protrude from the skull, looking very powerful.
The skull was relatively well preserved, and Li Long was a little pleased. Now that this thing is hanging in the house, it will definitely add a bit of artistic flair - it just looks good.
“This sheep is an old sheep.” Harimu looked at it and said, “It must be ten years old.”
“How do you know?”
"Look at the knots on the ram's horn. Two knots equal a year. Just count them and you'll know." Li Long then realized that there were such "annual rings" on the ram's horn. He counted them carefully, eighteen knots.
It is indeed an old sheep.
With two snow chickens on his back and a gun in one hand and a sheep's head in the other, Li Long felt that the trip was worth it.
Then he continued walking a few steps down, and an even bigger surprise was waiting for him - under a thick pine tree in front of him, two branches with four or five branches of antlers were mostly sticking out from the snow, right there. Leave it there.
This pine tree has no branches from the ground to a height of three to four meters. Probably because of this, it has become a place where male red deer grind their horns.
Li Long walked over quickly, picked up an antler and weighed it. This antler alone weighed five or six kilograms - so heavy!
He looked at the other antlers, and he definitely couldn't give up, plus there was a goat horn in his hand -
"I'll take this." Harimu looked a little confused Funny, "Li Long, your harvest is good today!"
It is indeed good, Li Long himself smiled a little proudly. It turns out that this is how the antlers were picked up!
The two people stopped searching for prey, and then walked back with all their heart. When they reached the entrance of the valley, Li Long saw something moving near a bush at the entrance of the valley. He immediately blocked Harimu and whispered Said:
“There is something!”
Halimu looked forward and saw an animal in the bush. It lowered its head and used its front hooves to pick up the snow on the edge of the bush, and then gnawed it. Eat grass below.
"Roe deer, Li Long, you are so lucky today!"
Li Long smiled, put down his things, took off his 56 semi-automatic rifle, squatted down, and turned on the safety , and slowly put the roe deer into the sight circle.
The roe deer was very alert, looking up from time to time to look around, then lowering its head to take a few bites, and then looking up again.
This was a female roe deer without horns. Li Long aimed at the position slightly behind the front legs, which is the heart, and then he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the roe deer's two front hooves suddenly bounced up, and then fell heavily to the ground. Blood spurted out from the muzzle.
“Yes, your marksmanship is good!” Harimu admired.
Li Long smiled, put away his gun and stepped forward quickly. When he came to Roe Deer Zi, he found that he was already dead.
"Pull it away." Harimu motioned to Li Long and asked him to spread the plastic sheet, "This is just a valley away from Dongwozi. There is no need to lead the horse, just drag it back."
"Okay, let me bleed it first." Li Long took off the knife he was carrying, and after bleeding the roe deer, he wrapped it in plastic sheeting, tied it with a rope, and drove him to the winter nest.
When they arrived at Dongwozi, Harimu and Li Long were peeling the skin of the roe deer - Li Long tried his best to be careful, but he still peeled the skin in two places.
It seems that I still need to practice my skinning skills.
“If it’s broken, the price won’t be that good.” Harimu felt a little regretful.
"That can't be helped, I have to practice." Li Long said, "Otherwise, when you go to Xia Ranch, I will hunt here, and I will have to skin the things I catch."
"Well, that's right. It's about practicing." Harimu believed what Li Long said.
After skinning and removing the internal organs, the roe deer weighs less than 30 kilograms. Even with the antlers and goat horns, the 28-pound pole can still carry it.
Li Long had a meal of horse meat in the winter nest at noon, then he got on his bike and went down the mountain with his harvest.
Halimu originally planned to give the snow chicken he shot to Li Long, but Li Long refused. He felt that since he was already a hunter, he could fend for himself.
Tomorrow, I will sell roe deer meat!
