Li Long raised his gun and opened the door, and it turned out to be Harry Mu.
Halimu did not enter the house. He dismounted, took two pieces of skin from his horse and handed them to Li Long:
"Take them and sell them, keep them. Wait until our sheep come from Xia When I come back from the ranch, I want to buy a big bag of salt.”
Li Long didn’t show any pretense and put the leather away. Cattlemen usually require large amounts of lump salt. Cooked leather, pickled food, and livestock all depend on this.
One of these two skins is a wolf skin and the other is a roe deer skin. The skins are still fresh. They should be the recent hunting of Harimu.
"I came here some time ago." Halimu and Li Long were sitting in front of the wooden floor. He said, "I saw a man tearing off the plastic from your window, so I came over and wanted to beat him up. I thought he was a thief. Wazi. I didn’t expect him to come here to bring you honey.”
Li Long looked at Harimu.
I don’t know if Harimu blushed or not. It was dark and he couldn’t see clearly, but he was a little embarrassed and continued:
“Fortunately, I didn’t punch a few times.”
Li Long wanted to laugh, but thinking about Lu Dafeng, he didn't laugh.
"It's not entirely my fault. I had to come here early in the morning to deliver honey before dawn..." Harimu explained again.
"How's your fight going?" Li Long didn't want to continue this topic because he was afraid he couldn't help laughing.
"Well, the straw is almost finished, and some of the dry ones are already being bundled." Harimu answered quickly, "I knew you were coming when I saw those things. Let me tell you something."
“You said.”
“Give me some bullets.”
"How much do you want?" Li Long stood up and rummaged through his satchel. He always carries fifty to a hundred rounds of ammunition in his satchel - and now he has more than seventy rounds.
“Thirty rounds will be enough.” Harimu said, “A group of wolves came to our pasture. I shot one and hid the remaining four or five. I see them occasionally. I have to kill them. Kill it, or the cattle and sheep will bite you when they come back."
"Then I'll go with you." Li Long took two packs of fifty rounds of bullets for Harimu.
"No, you don't have to go." Harimu waved his hand, "I don't know when the wolf will come out. I have to wait, maybe three days, maybe a week. I don't need you to go, you are busy. It's my own business."
"Okay." Now that Harimu said it, Li Long stopped forcing him and asked him, "When will you come over?"
"In another half month, the grass here will be finished. After the grass is done, we will pile the grass into the winter nest, and then go to the summer pasture in the mountains. It will be snowing in the mountains in half a month." , we will be back soon.”
Li Long calculated that it should be in early November.
"Okay, I will bring the salt over by then." At that time, there was no life in the field, and Li Long thought that he would just bring in the salt and other daily necessities, and then haul a few trucks of manure back.
Halimu took the bullet, loaded it and got on the horse.
Just when Li Long was about to watch him leave, Harimu suddenly said on horseback:
"I forgot to tell you something. The beekeeper said that a group of wild boars came to the ditch where he kept the bees. If you want to kill them, you can kill them."
Li Longxiao Yes, this is the information you want.
After Harimu left, Li Long immediately returned to the house, locked the door and went to sleep.
Go to the place that Lu Dafeng mentioned tomorrow morning. If there are wild boars, then fight them back directly. If not, go to the hot springs again.
Li Long believes that these wild animals will not give up on the hot springs. It's just that for some reason, the time of arrival is uncertain or you may not go for a short time.
The next day, Li Long got up before dawn, rubbed his face, put on his coat, and went out with his gun.
You can ride a bicycle from the wooden house to where Lu Dafeng is. Li Long got on the bicycle and walked there in the faint light of the sky. When he was about to arrive, he got off the bicycle, put it aside, and carried it by himself. Armed with a gun, he started to climb the mountain on foot.
There is wind in the mountains and the grass is all yellow. When Li Long wades through the knee-high grass, grasshoppers will be frightened away and cannot jump far when they fly - there is still dew at this time. There were quite a lot of grasshoppers, so Li Long thought that it would be good to raise a group of chickens in the mountains. If there were grasshoppers to eat, the chickens would definitely be good.
Of course, it is impossible. There are too many natural enemies of chickens in the mountains. Foxes, weasels, wolves... they can all eat chickens, unless they are enclosed... Don't think too far.
When we reached the top of the mountain, we scanned the area and found the spot where Lu Dafeng had pitched his tent. After scanning half a circle, he found no wild boars.
The sky was getting a little brighter, and Li Long originally thought of ambush, but when he saw that there seemed to be traces near the tent, he simply walked on.
When I got there, I found that there were already signs of arching here - the wild boar had left.
The traces of this arch are very large, equivalent to covering the entire area where the tent was originally pitched, including the beehive area. There are old and new traces. Li Long guessed that the wild boar followed the human scent. Come here and eat the garbage here.
There is also news about bears digging through trash cans in Canada and North America. It seems that human garbage is attractive to these animals.
Li Long sighed, turned and left.
If the hot spring can't hold anything, then come back tomorrow, you have to come a little early. There are many traces in this area, and the hoof prints are very complicated. Li Long guessed that there should be many wild boars.
Riding a bicycle to a ravine on the edge of Wenquan Valley, Li Long hid the bicycle in the grass. The sky was already bright at this time. As usual, he should be getting up and getting ready to get off the net at this time. .
He walked towards the hot spring ditch with his gun in hand, wondering if there might be an "air force" here as well.
Li Long did not go back yesterday afternoon. Li Jianguo and Tao Daqiang went to Xiaohaizi with the net.
They planned to cast a few nets in Xiaohaizi. There was not much farm work in the team during this period, so Li Jianguo planned to sell fish when he had nothing to do. He also had an idea to see if he could get a black-and-white TV after earning a few more days.
In the past, Li Long made money by selling fish, but Li Jianguo didn't have much idea. The money was not his own, so he wouldn't think too much about it.
Only when I sell fish by myself and get a few dozen dollars a day, the feeling becomes real.
It turns out that you can really make money this way - the county charges management fees for the free market, and Li Jianguo is very happy to pay it.
What does this prove? Prove that the country allows this! He still saved all the tickets issued!
Although it's still a bit hard to save face, after all, I am the elder brother Li Long and the younger brother. It's hard to say that I follow his younger brother's footsteps to make money, but thinking about my father, he doesn't have that much to say, what can I say?
There are still three or five people hanging around in Xiaohaizi. There are more and more people catching fish now. When the farming was busy, I couldn't take care of it. Now that the farming is slack, some smart-minded people can't stay idle and have to find ways to make money.
The main reason is that Li Long led the team members to do work twice, letting them know that it is not difficult to make money as long as they work hard and find the right method.
Since others can make money, you can do it too. In the past, competition drove the price of fish into a mess, but now everyone has a tacit understanding that in the future, they should not engage in so many dirty tricks when selling fish.
So there are more fish caught in Xiaohaizi. On the contrary, it is because Dahaizi is relatively far away, and currently there are only Li Long and his family. Because in everyone's mind, Xiaohaizi belongs to this village. Even if the net is lost, it can basically be found. Dahaizi is so big and surrounded by several villages. If the net is lost, you can't find it.
Li Jianguo watched Tao Daqiang go to the net on a tire and felt that the speed was relatively slow.
But there is no way, Li Long's "mouth" method of getting off the net is really not something that ordinary people can learn in a short time.
When Li Long arrived at Wenquangou in the morning, Li Jianguo and Tao Daqiang had already started to collect nets in Xiaohaizi. They only cast six nets, and the fish caught were obviously not as many as in Dahaizi, but the fish were beautiful and made me happy just to look at them.
The inside of Hot Spring Valley is darker than outside. There are fewer broad-leaved forests and more coniferous forests on the mountains on both sides, blocking the light.
Li Long walked quickly. He was a little impatient and worried that there would be nothing to gain from the hot spring, which would be a bit troublesome.
In the past, I rarely returned home free from hunting. I made two trips at most. Is this the third trip today?
Thinking this in his mind, Li Long's heart sank when he didn't hear the loud splashing sound when he was approaching the pool.
But he still didn't care. He walked diagonally upward from the ditch into the woods, and then came to a familiar ambush position.
You can see the locations of four or five ponds below through the trees.
When Li Long squatted down to observe, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, two deer, one large and one small, were there.
The big deer was in the pool, and the little deer was jumping and splashing on the side. It was slightly bigger than the goat, with thin legs and very flexible.
Li Long aimed at the big deer, and then turned to the small deer.
When the figure of the small deer overlapped with the big deer, Li Long suddenly had a bold idea: Can he shoot them both directly?
If the location is right, it should be no problem. After all, I had hunted several times before, and the five or six bullets had all passed through the prey's body. Now at such a close distance, even if it passes through the body of a small deer and then hits a big deer, it should still be lethal, right?
Li Long planned to test this idea, and he waited patiently.
The big deer occasionally calls out in the pond. Sometimes the little deer listens and sometimes doesn't. It jumps and plays. Occasionally it stretches its mouth to taste the water and then spits it out.
Finally, Li Long waited until the little deer jumped in front of the big deer, but the big deer was in the water and the position was not ideal.
Li Long hesitated for a moment and did not pull the trigger. He felt that he still needed to wait.
The big deer didn’t know whether he had discovered something or had enough soaking. He stood up from the pool with half of his body in the water. When the little deer saw the big deer making any movement, he immediately ran over and stretched out his mouth to lick the wetness from the big deer. Mao, at this time the bodies of the two deer were almost overlapping.
"Bang! Bang!"
Li Long fired two shots. The first shot passed through the hind legs of the deer, and then made a bloody hole in the belly of the big deer. The second shot made the deer fall down, and the big deer was taken out of the pond. The deer ran out injured, and Li Long shot it in the neck. The deer lay half-body on the edge of the pool and fell down.
Li Long quickly stood up and ran down with his gun. At this time, the sound of gunshots was still echoing in the valley.
The little deer was not dead and was struggling in the water. Li Long ignored it and directly pulled the big deer out of the water. The little deer had already run out of the creek, and then asked Li Long to run over and save four The hoof was caught in the hand.
Whether you can survive or not depends on fate.
I don’t know when, the sunlight came through. (End of this chapter)
