Chapter 246 Not suitable for jungle, suitable for ambush
When Li Long got up, the sky was already bright.
He hurriedly rubbed his face, put on his clothes, and went out with the gun in hand.
With no time to eat, Li Long just went to the small room to get a palm-sized piece of dried meat, gnawing hard while hurriedly walking into the mountains.
Although the sun has not risen yet, the sky is already bright. Usually at this time, the wild boar herds have come down from the mountains to finish their hunting and run into the mountains.
There were still dew on the tips of the grass. Li Long was anxious and waded over. Soon his trouser legs were wet and felt cold against his legs, which was very uncomfortable.
The yellow rubber shoes were also soaked through. My feet wearing socks felt like they were stepping on a bag of water. They slipped and slipped every time I walked, which was very awkward.
But he couldn't care about all this. Li Long hurried all the way to the place where the hot spring was.
In fact, he had a vague feeling in his heart that this trip would probably be empty.
But I have to go there anyway, it’s just a few kilometers away.
If you want to eat meat, are you afraid of hard work?
People in the village have not had a chance to think of such a thing.
With this thought in mind, Li Long slowed down as he entered the ditch where the hot spring was.
He was afraid that his movements would be too big and might scare possible prey.
Hurrying to the location of several pools, he still scared away a pheasant drinking water here.
The sound of flapping wings echoed in the valley.
Li Long looked around the pool. He was a little surprised to find that there were indeed animal hoof prints, but not many, and not in groups.
So are there a large group of animals that haven’t come yet?
With hope in his heart, Li Long's mood immediately improved. He turned around with the gun in hand and went to the ambush position he had planned in advance and squatted down.
There is a tree here that just blocks your body, and there are some weeds nearby. You can avoid being seen by squatting down.
The direction of the wind in the ravine is downstream, there is no oblique wind, and the hot spring itself has a sulfur smell, so you don't have to worry about the smell being discovered by animals.
Perfect.
At this time, Li Long felt hungry, and he continued to chew the dried meat. After this thing is dried, it is very hard and makes your teeth tired from chewing it. But when you chew it softly, you will find that it tastes pretty good.
A few wild rabbits came to the water. They did not drink the water, but played here, jumped around for a while and then left.
Li Long didn't care about this. There was too little meat and no oil.
After a while, several birds flew over, but they just stayed for a while and then left.
Next, the sun rose, and the sunlight shone through the trees, shining on the dewdrops on the grass tips, creating a golden halo, which looked very beautiful.
Suddenly having time to appreciate these subtle scenery, Li Long felt that this life was actually quite good.
It’s much better than lying on the sofa and watching short videos in my last life.
When he lowered his head, he found that there was a morel in the moss not far from his feet - wasn't it time for morels to bloom this season? Why else?
Is it a fish that slipped through the net?
Li Long guessed, thinking that he would collect the fungus later and take it back to make soup, and then he heard the sound of huffing and puffing.
He looked towards the hot spring and saw several roe deer jumping out of the forest and jumping to the edge of the hot spring pool.
One of the roe deer seemed to have an injury on its leg and was just standing on the side. The other two had lost most of their hair. They must have suffered from skin diseases or infectious diseases. They were quite ugly.
After the two roe deer came to the edge of the hot spring, they jumped directly in. They seemed to be familiar with them.
Li Long could tell that these three roe deer were all young, a little bigger than a two-year-old sheep, but not much bigger. They weighed about 20 kilograms and were not yet stable.
The hot spring pool itself was not deep, reaching the roe deer’s thighs. After they got in, they squatted down, letting the water cover their entire bodies.
Li Long picked up his gun and saw three roe deer. He was hesitating which one to shoot.
Hit the ones on shore first?
After hunting the one on the shore, if the one in the pool does not escape, you may be able to hunt another one.
Li Long thought about his plan and slowly aimed his gun at the roe deer on the shore, which was licking his wounds from time to time.
At this moment, there was a sudden roar in the forest.
The roe deer were frightened all of a sudden, and the one on the shore rushed directly into the forest. Li Long didn't pull the trigger, or even look at the source of the sounds. He was fighting like this The fast-running roe deer was unsure, so he took aim at another roe deer crawling out of the pond.
It’s okay if the leather is not good, it’s better than nothing!
“Bang!”
After one shot, the half-climbed roe deer tilted and fell into the pool.
Blood immediately dyed the pool red.
Li Long didn't even look at it anymore, he turned his gun and aimed it in the direction of the previous sound.
More than a dozen wild boars have just emerged from the forest. The first few yellow-haired ones have already jumped into the stream and are swimming towards the pond. Behind them are the sows, large wild boars and seven or eight small ones. The wild boars were rushing into the stream. When they heard the sound of gunshots, a few of them stopped to see what was going on. The smart ones turned around and ran into the forest!
“Bang bang! Bang bang!”
Li Long fired at the wild boar still swimming in the stream.
The location is not very good, so it is a bit awkward to aim. After several shots, Li Long shot a wild boar to death in the water. The rest had already escaped from the shallow stream and scattered into the woods. inside.
Li Long could even hear the sound of the wild boar hitting the tree and the sound of the stepped stones rolling down.
The roe deer was still in the pond, its blood was still being washed away by the water, and most of the water going down was red.
The wild boar was slowly pushed downward by the current, and then got stuck by the stone.
This wild boar is not big either, about forty kilograms, and Li Long is actually quite satisfied with it.
It’s big and not delicious, and it’s hard to take it back yourself.
The only disadvantage of hunting alone in this mountain is that it is inconvenient to take it back.
In fact, if he had been more precise just now, he should have been able to hit a wild boar.
But if you don’t fight, you will tire yourself if you fight.
Going to the pool, Li Long took out the roe deer.
This is a male roe deer, with a long antler growing on its head, and the fur on its body is covered in pimples and scars, probably due to a skin disease.
I don’t know if the buying station will accept such leather. Carrying the roe deer son, he walked downstream to the wild boar, put the roe deer son down, and fished out the wild boar.
Li Long put his right front leg and left hind leg together and lifted them up with one hand. It felt that it was not particularly heavy, so he put the gun on his back. The wild boar put it on his shoulder and raised it with the other hand. Holding the roe deer pods in hand, he strode downstream.
After walking out of the ditch, he remembered that he didn't take the morel - let it return to nature, maybe more will grow next year.
After two breaks, Li Long returned to the cabin before ten o'clock.
Very tiring.
Geezing for air.
Both the wooden board and the chopping board were already covered with dried mushrooms. Li Long rested for a while, first took a piece of dry steamed bun dipped in red tofu and ate it. Then he rested for a while and carried the wild boar. and roe deer, go to the stream to deal with them.
The body was disemboweled, and two basins were filled with internal organs and sewers. The skin was peeled off, but the flesh was not removed. It will be taken down the mountain when the time comes.
The main reason is that it is troublesome to turn the intestines alone.
The belly is easier to get rid of. Just take it out, scratch it, and wash it with running water. Anyway, I still have to wash it when I eat it at the end.
When eating meat in the mountains, even if it is roasted, Li Long will try his best to cook it well, let alone boil it.
After all, hydatid disease is highly prevalent in the entire mountainous area of the Tianshan Mountains. If there are hydatid eggs in the meat, simple roasting will not kill them.
After all the internal organs were cleaned, Li Long looked at only a small basin of suet and shook his head. It's already July, why are the roe deer and wild boar still not fat?
But it would be nice to have.
The roe deer's whip was cut off separately, and he didn't know whether Li Qianqian would need it later.
It stands to reason that you should be able to return at this time. But Li Long remembered Lu Dafeng, so he soaked the meat first, and then carried a wild boar leg to the place where he kept bees.
The weather was sunny and the bees were working hard to collect honey. When Li Long saw the tent, he saw Lu Dafeng wearing a hood and looking through the bees in the beehive.
"Is there any honey?" Li Long shouted loudly. He held the bloody boar leg in his hand and did not dare to move forward.
"Yes, yes." When Lu Dafeng saw it was Li Long, he put down the bee board with a smile and said:
"I harvested a crop of honey yesterday, not much, but the honey is very good. "
As he said that, he went to the tent and got two bottles.
"One bottle is honey, and one bottle is pollen. Most of the honey has not been capped yet. When it is capped, I will cut it for you." Lu Dafeng looked obviously energetic, "Comrade Li, I don't want this meat anymore. You haven't finished the meat you left last time."
"Keep it, pick it with salt if you have it. No one can tell when the next hunting will be." Li Long said, "I'll take the honey..."
"Yeah. This pollen It can be eaten dry or mixed with honey, it is good for women," Lu Dafeng said.
Li Long nodded to express his understanding. In the previous life, there was a lot of marketing for pollen, and some used it directly as a facial mask.
Carrying this bottle of more than two kilograms of honey, Li Long returned to the wooden house, collected all the half-dried mushroom slices, put them into sacks, and put wild boar and roe deer meat and offal into them. Pack it up, put it on the bicycle, and carry it out of the mountain.
He arrived in the big yard first. Today is Monday, when Gu Xiaoxia is still at work, Li Long puts the meat and offal in the basin, continues to pull it out with water, and then takes the sack of mushroom slices to the purchasing station.
"Xiaolong, I blame me for not making it clear to you." Chen Hongjun looked at Li Long very happily, but after seeing the dried mushrooms, he said apologetically:
"The black tiger palm fungus we collected needs to be cleaned. Bacteria, the kind that don’t cut. After receiving the film, we don’t know what it looks like, so it’s hard to grade.”
“That’s okay,” Li Long wasn’t too disappointed. I didn’t ask clearly. I just habitually dry mushrooms. After cutting it into slices, it is convenient to eat. Then I will directly dry the whole head when I collect the mushrooms - but to be honest, it is not easy to dry in that way, and it is not easy to eat."
< br>"Then you don't have to worry about it "Yes." Chen Hongjun said with a smile, "That's how the upper level is rated. As long as you get it, I'll take it. There are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains, right?" In season.”
Li Long took out more than two kilograms of dried mushrooms from the sack and placed them on the counter:
"Comrade Chen, since you don't want to accept it, I will take this back and eat it myself. These are for you, this kind of fungus It tastes pretty good.”
“It’s really good, thank you.” Chen Hongjun didn’t refuse. He has been dealing with Li Long for a while and knows that this young man is generous. He also likes to communicate with such a young man.
Li Long left the purchasing station and rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative. He left some dried mushrooms for Li Xiangqian and asked him to transfer some to Uncle Li who was visiting the house.
Now the gatekeeper has been replaced by a young man. After asking, Li Long found out that Uncle Li was not in good health these days and had not come out.
Back in the big yard, Li Long guessed that Gu Xiaoxia was about to get off work, so he started cooking.
Li Long brought back a lot of things, so he steamed rice, fried a roe deer roe, and fried a mushroom meat.
When Gu Xiaoxia rode her bicycle to the door of the big yard, she saw that the lock was not there. She was surprised at first, and then she was happy: Li Long said that only the two of them had the key. Does that mean Li Long is back?
When she opened the door and smelled the aroma of the food, Gu Xiaoxia felt happy and ashamed.
The traditional concept is still quite stubborn these days. Women usually cook. Even if a woman has a job, she still cooks and takes care of the children after get off work. Men are most likely to hit the lower hand.
Now that she has ready-made food to eat when she comes back, how could she not be surprised?
"Come back?" Li Longgang took out the fried mushroom meat, looked at Gu Xiaoxia pushing the bicycle and stood there, looking at him, and said with a smile:
"Standing still What are you doing? Go put the car away and wash it. Eat with your hands. Did I calculate the time correctly? You just came in to start the meal... Haha, come and try my handiwork! The roe deer meat you made this morning should taste good..."
Li Long said While putting the food on the dining table.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxia was still motionless, Li Long asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong? Were you wronged at work?"
"No...no." Gu Xiaoxia hurriedly left the car and washed her hands. When she got to the dining table, she looked at Li Long and said:
"You're so good to me! "
"Isn't it right for me to be nice to you? You will be my wife soon." Li Long said with a smile, "You are also very nice to me."
" Then I'm not as good as you..." Gu Xiaoxia lowered her head.
"That's the same." Li Long somewhat understood Gu Xiaoxia's emotions and said with a smile:
"I have time. If you have time, you will be nice to me. I definitely believe this. You said so. Right? "
Gu Xiaoxia nodded vigorously.
She felt that she was really happy compared to the two colleagues in the office who were nagging about various troubles at home.
"We will all rest after dinner, and then you go to work. I will put some meat here, and then take some back. Your dad will put some, and my brother will put some." Li Long said. While eating, he said, "It's time to cut the wheat at home. I'll leave as soon as I'm done... I don't want to keep cutting the wheat. It's too tiring! It's scary to think about it!"
"I don't want to either..." Thinking of those wheat awns, Gu Xiaoxia felt tingling all over her body, and her attention was diverted, "The sun is so bright... Although I know that hard work is meaningful, I really don't want to feel it!"< br>
