Chapter 223: Cut the pole and catch the thief!
Actually, many people may feel nauseous when they say this. If they really see it, some people will vomit.
The yellow sheep had a palm-sized wound on its hind leg near its buttocks. Now the wound has festered, and many flies are wandering around it, getting down to take a bite from time to time.
This is nothing, the most disgusting thing is that a piece of the center of the wound has rotted in, and a dense and neat cluster of maggots is swarming there... People with trypophobia have seen it, Probably dizzy.
Li Long's shot hit the back of Huang Yang's neck, fatally wounding him.
Tao Daqiang also stopped there.
Li Long only stayed for a second, took out the machete he was carrying, walked up to the yellow sheep, slashed twice, and cut off the wound on the back of the yellow sheep, including the ulcerated part. Come down and throw it far away.
"Daqiang, put it on your back, let's go back."
"Okay!" Tao Daqiang stepped forward and directly picked up the yellow sheep and walked back.
Li Long visually estimated that the yellow sheep should weigh more than 20 kilograms. It should be due to injuries during this period, and it is a little thin.
"What bites that sheep?" Li Qingxia asked Li Long excitedly.
"It should be a wolf or something else. Small things can't bite yellow sheep, so it's most likely a wolf."
After Li Long finished speaking, he turned to ask his father:
"Dad, you also saw that the meat was filled with maggots, don't you dislike it?"
< br>"Then why do you dislike it?" Li Qingxia said with a smile, "How can you dislike eating meat? Didn't you cut off the places where there are maggots... Besides, it's good to have meat to eat these days. In my hometown , it was ruined by hunger a few years ago, let alone fresh meat, I also ate smelly meat!”
Li Long understood that there were many people in his hometown, so supplies should be more scarce.
"Xiaolong, you don't know. There are many people in my hometown and there are few things to eat... Do you know? Just the maggots you just cut off and threw away, someone even brought them to eat. , what is it called... granulation? "
Li Qingxia has traveled all over the world and has experienced it. He told Li Long about things he encountered when he was young.
"That's also a rich family. They hang up a piece of stinky meat for flies to get maggots on, and connect a basin underneath. The maggots grow bigger and bigger with the stinky meat, and the stinky meat becomes less and less. Finally maggots crawled on the meat It didn’t catch anymore, it fell into the basin, and then those people fried the maggots and ate them - Eh~~! "
Li Qingxia looked disgusted, but he was interested in talking about these curious things. Very high.
Tao Daqiang was walking and listening in front, and couldn't help but interjected:
"Why don't you feel sick after eating?"
"Some people like it." Li Qingxia explained, "Just like some people Some people like to eat snake meat, but they are afraid of it; some people like to eat dog meat, and some people are afraid of killing dogs..."
Li Long nodded.
The three of them returned to the wooden house. It was already bright. Li Jianguo had boiled the water and was pasting pancakes with cold dishes. He was surprised to see Tao Daqiang carrying something:
"Did you really hit it?"
"My Brother Long hit it and knocked it out with one shot..." Tao Daqiang said in a loud voice, "I didn't even see where the yellow sheep was lying. Long Brother discovered it at a glance!"
"Haha, he is lucky." Li Jian. Guo laughed, "This yellow sheep is not too small...it's just a little thin."
"It turns out to be injured." Li Qingxia said, "The wolf took a bite."
Li Long placed the gun, He took out the knife, waited for Tao Daqiang to put the yellow sheep down, and then began to skin and disembowel it.
"I won't eat meat in the morning." Li Long said as he peeled it, "I'll finish peeling and disemboweling it here, and process the guts. Let's cook some meat for lunch."
"Okay. "Li Qingxia and Li Jianguo didn't have any objections, but Tao Daqiang didn't say anything.
Li Long first peeled off part of the skin of the yellow sheep, and after disemboweling it, soaked the internal organs in a basin, then washed his hands and had breakfast.
"Xiaolong, you can handle this yellow sheep later, Daqiang and I will continue to chop the poles," Li Jianguo said while eating, "Dad is here to help you..."
"I won't stay here. I think Xiaolong can handle this sheep alone. I'll chop the pole as well." Li Qingxia waved his hand, "It's better to finish this job as soon as possible."
"Okay, Xiaolong, you stay here alone, we go chop the pole, and come back at noon to eat the meat you cooked."
"Okay." Li Long did not refuse. This meat does take some time to sort out.
After breakfast, Li Jianguo and others went to the spring to wash the enamel basin, and then left with machetes and axes. After Li Long told them to be careful about wolves, he began to deal with the yellow sheep.
Peel off the skin first, then break down the meat and soak it in water. Put firewood under the stove, boil water in a big pot, and throw some decomposed leg sticks with the meat removed into the big pot. Just start cooking.
Here he was cooking meat and bone sticks, and over there he chopped a pine stick and threw it into the pot. This was what he saw from a novel about the Tang Dynasty in his previous life when he was bored reading novels. I don't know if it will work or not.
He took the basin with water to the edge of the spring and began to turn his intestines and wash his stomach.
The smell of dirty gas is really unpleasant. Fortunately, the amount of water in this spring increases in summer, making it easier to rinse. Li Long kept scrubbing to clean the large and small intestines and stomach. The next step was to deal with it. Meat.
In this summer, meat cannot be kept for a long time. Li Long first rubbed some bone meat with salt and prepared to smoke it, but he didn't smoke it too much. After all, eating too much bacon is not good.
He trimmed the rest of the meat, along with the casings, oil, suet and so on, and burned it in another pot. This one is ready and covered with oil, so it can be stored for a long time.
Of course it is troublesome to make. You have to cut the meat into small pieces, otherwise it will be difficult to handle.
The water in the big pot boiled quickly. Li Long stuffed two more pieces of firewood under the stove and let the soup in the pot simmer there without skimming for a while. The soup soon began to thicken. Change, the fragrance and smell waft together.
This was a male yellow sheep with a little horn on its head. It hadn't grown yet, so Li Long didn't care about it.
After all, the head and hooves will be dealt with last, so I can’t take care of them right now.
The two stoves were started at the same time, cooking the meat bones and roasting the meat at the same time. Li Long was busy all by himself. It was not until almost noon that the meat was finished and two enamel basins were filled. Fortunately, he bought more pots when he bought new things yesterday, otherwise there wouldn't be enough pots.
Bringing the roasted meat to the small room and placing it on the shelf, Li Long began to prepare the offal and offal again.
This thing is more troublesome, mainly because it is difficult to store. A meal of offal would be too much for three people to finish at once.
But it wasn’t worth sending them back just to get into the water. Li Long simply thought of getting rid of them. After marinating, it can be kept for an extra day or two. When he was washing pots by the spring, he looked up and saw a figure flashing across the mouth of the ditch.
When Li Long straightened up and looked again, there was no one there.
He felt that his eyes were clear. He was more than two hundred meters away. Someone had indeed appeared just now. He probably saw him or saw someone in the wooden house, so he hid it.
Too far to catch up, Li Long took the pot to the stone stove and sat it down, continued to burn the wood, chop wood, and pour water to prepare the brine.
Theoretically, after this thing is cooked, as long as it is boiled in a pot every few hours, it will not go bad.
Li Long went into the water and chased after him with a gun.
The small caliber was carried away by Li Jianguo, and the five and six half were left to Li Long.
When he carried a gun and chased to the place where he saw someone just now, he found that there were footprints here, but the person had already left.
After searching carefully for a while, Li Long found that the footprints were heading southeast into the mountain.
Southeast?
Isn’t that the general direction of Harry Mudong’s Nest?
Li Long is a little worried, afraid that something will happen to Harimu's winter nest again, but he doesn't dare to go too far away from the wooden house now. After all, there is something cooking in the pot, and no one is watching. Everything is troublesome.
Li Long had no choice but to turn back first.
Before returning to the wooden house, when he saw that the meat bones were almost cooked, he started to add salt and served several bowls of soup. Sprinkled with chopped wild onions on top, the aroma was fragrant.
Then he took out the enamel basins for eating, took out two meat bones in each basin, filled them with some soup, and placed them on the wooden table shelf to cool.
The sun was almost noon, and Li Jianguo, Tao Daqiang and Li Qingxia came back one after another carrying wooden poles.
“There were a lot of willow sticks in the ditch we went to today,” Li Jianguo said, placing the bundle of wooden poles he carried on the wall of the wooden house. “I cut more than thirty sticks this morning. That patch of willow trees After cutting it, I think I can cut two hundred pieces!”
“I have quite a few over there,” Li Qingxia said with a smile, “It’s just that the wood is difficult to cut.”
"Eat first and take a rest. It's very hot in the mountains at noon." Li Long said, "If you chop like this, it will be enough in ten days."
"That's good." The three of them He washed his hands and started chewing on the bones.
Li Long had something on his mind, so he ate a bone, drank a bowl of soup, and then stopped. He took off the fire in the pot of braised pork, then went into the house and changed his coat, and came out to face the others. Said:
“You guys have a rest first, I’ll go out for a while.”
Li Jianguo and the others didn’t ask. Li Long was much more familiar with this area than they were. If anything happened, Li Long would tell him. .
Li Long walked to the place where the footprints were found with his gun on his back, and then chased him in the direction where the footprints left.
The footprints were hard to spot when they were in the grass, so Li Long hurried towards Harimu's winter nest.
As he approached the ditch in Dongwozi, Li Long slowed down and walked forward while observing his surroundings. When he could see Dongwozi, he stopped and stood quietly in the woods. Just wait.
He just had a feeling that the person who had been hiding from him before was probably in this winter nest.
Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, a figure came out of the winter den. He was holding a bag in one hand and touching his crotch with the other. He didn’t know whether he was tying his belt with one hand or wearing a belt with one hand. Why, Li Long is so popular.
He felt that this guy must have done something rather nasty in Halimu's winter nest!
The figure left the winter nest and walked along the ditch into the mountains with his pocket on his back. When he was far away, Li Long hurriedly chased him.
When passing by Harry Mudong's Nest, Li Long glanced at the door and was almost pissed off!
This guy actually pooped on the wooden kang in Harimu’s winter home!
What the hell!
Li Long was furious, could he bear this?
This is the house where people live!
If Harimu had been on the spot, he would have probably shot this animal thing to pieces!
Li Long quickly followed him. He felt that this person must have a hideout. Once you find their lair, the rest will be easy.
Li Long quickly followed the man, who was still looking around in the mountains. Li Long looked like he was picking mushrooms. After all, the fritillaries had bloomed now and could not be dug. Codonopsis pilosula is not in season yet, so digging it is not very useful.
The man also hummed a tune that Li Long didn't understand, and roared once or twice from time to time, which could startle a few birds.
Finally, after climbing over two ditches, the man came to a relatively flat ditch mouth. There were several nests there, not arranged neatly.
The tree next to the nest was tied with a rope, and some quilts were hung on it to dry in the sun. It's probably because the den is relatively damp and it's cooler when you sleep at night, so you need to dry the bedding during the day.
Li Long only took one look and was sure that those beddings were definitely from his wooden house!
Looking at the pots on the stone stove next to the pit, 99% of them are from my own wooden house.
The pot was steaming, the lid was on, and I didn’t know what it was doing.
This is the den of thieves!
The man arrived at the place, put his bag on the opening of a burrow, shouted, and a man with messy hair came out of another burrow.
The first person looked to be in his forties or fifties, and the latter one was in his thirties. His clothes were all patched, and his hair and beard had not been cut for a long time, and his appearance was not good.
The two people said a few words there. Li Long didn't understand the dialect clearly. Anyway, he didn't understand it very well. He could only vaguely hear it. The first person, the person Li Long followed, said When they couldn't find anything, the other one complained a bit, saying that he had gotten too much before, and then the two of them went to get the bowls.
Li Long looked at the number of people in the dugout. There should be at least four people here, but now there are only two. The other two didn't know whether they went out to work or left the small group.
But he couldn't care less. He picked up the gun, turned on the safety, loaded the bullet, and rushed toward the cave angrily.
The two people were eating when the younger one saw Li Long and shouted out in horror.
The older man turned around and glanced, then threw away the bowl and ran into the woods. Li Long raised his hand and shot him directly in the arm!
The guy screamed - in fact, Li Long wanted to hit him in front of him and force him to stop, but when the man ran, he raised his hand for some reason and was hit. arm.
This scream scared the other one who wanted to run away - this was too cruel! Just shoot without saying a word?
Li Long strode up to him and kicked the young man to the ground. He hit the young man randomly with the butt of his gun a few times, smashing the young man's head until blood flowed. Then he hit him again and again. He hit the old guy with the butt of his rifle several times until he kept begging for mercy, and then he stopped.
I couldn't reason with these people, and Li Long didn't intend to kill the two people. After getting angry, Li Long started to plunder the two people's things.
No, it’s not a search, it’s an active claim!
