Li Long picked up the big deer - this big deer was actually not particularly big, weighing forty kilograms, while the small deer was lighter, weighing around ten kilograms. Li Long lifted it up in one lift.
With the gun on his chest, Li Long carried the big deer and the small deer over the mountain. The bicycle was on the other side of the mountain. It would be easier to carry the rest to the bicycle.
Although the big deer is dead, the body is not stiff yet, so it’s still okay. But the little deer was more resistant, struggling from time to time and still not very strong.
Li Long clenched its four hooves tightly and controlled not to drop it. He was thinking in his heart that if he kept struggling like this, he would probably bleed to death by the time he reached the other side of the mountain. ?
The trees in the forest are very dense and mixed with shrubs, so it is very inconvenient to walk. Li Long avoided those trees as much as possible and found a place with a large gap, so that he could walk more distance.
Fortunately, the sun had risen and the light in the forest was still good. Li Long walked through the forest with the sun on his back. He felt that the blood had flowed to his body and neck, but it was definitely not something he could handle at the moment.
Deer blood is also a good thing, but there is no other way, it can only be wasted at this time.
Finally emerged from the forest. He was still halfway up the mountain. He searched around and saw the location of the bicycle. He put down the big deer and the little deer first, let out a sigh of relief, and rested for a while.
As soon as the deer was released, it struggled to get up and run away, but it fell over after getting up.
What surprised Li Long was that the deer’s wound was no longer bleeding. Is it going to heal?
Still no harm done? Or is it that deer is an animal with a strong ability to heal itself?
Li Long couldn't figure out the reason, but he didn't think about it anymore. He picked up the big deer again and carried the small deer to the bicycle. When he got to the car, he put the big deer down and took off the bicycle wrapped around the back seat. He tied the big deer on the back seat with a rope, then tied the four hooves of the little deer, and dropped it on the big deer. Ignoring the little deer's constant calls, he pushed the bicycle towards the wooden house.
When we arrived at the wooden house, the sun rose as high as a pole. Li Long breathed a sigh of relief, leaned the car in front of the wooden house, went inside, and got some water to drink.
Exhausted.
After resting for about ten minutes, Li Long came out to untie the deer. After thinking about it, he went to get some wound medicine and put it on the deer. Whether you can survive or not depends on fate.
The next step was to carry the big deer to the spring, then find two more basins and start skinning and disemboweling it.
The deerskin has bullet holes, which is not valuable, but it can still be sold. Li Long peeled it off more carefully.
The doe didn’t eat much in the morning, so her stomach was quite empty, but it had a lot of oil. After Li Long finished skinning the deer, he cut off the deer's head and hooves and put them aside for later processing.
Evisceration is a delicate job. If you accidentally break the intestines, it will be troublesome. There was a big pot of contents in my stomach and a lot of oil. Qiu Bi finally got the job done, and then took advantage of Li Long.
Tear the venison, put the bones and meat into a big basin, and pour it on with cold water - it is not too hot outside at this time, the highest temperature in the mountains is only 20 degrees, and it can still get a few degrees higher at night , the meat will not spoil.
The main reason was that Li Long was still thinking about the group of wild boars. He thought that he should keep the venison for his family to eat. If he could kill one or two wild boars tomorrow morning, it would be best to take it back and ask the young men to work and eat the meat.
It was a bit wasteful to make dried venison. Seeing that the temperature had not risen yet, Li Long thought about it and decided to take the venison back home, which could be regarded as a supplement to the family's meat supply.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, your intestines and stomach won’t turn over, put it in a basin and bring it to the house to cool down. Other offal that did not need to be processed were put into sacks and placed on the back seat of the bicycle together with the venison after being poured with cold water.
The little deer was lying with its head drooping next to the wooden house. Li Long simply carried it into the wooden house and stopped fussing with it. He would keep it alive if it could. If it couldn't, he would skin it when he came back.
After locking the door, Li Long rode his bicycle down the mountain. He went to the big yard first. Gu Xiaoxia was not here. Li Long put down some ribs, thinking that he would clean them up when Gu Xiaoxia came back at noon.
Then he rode his bicycle back to the team.
When we got to the team, it was already past noon, but Li Jianguo was at home and did not go out. He planned to go down the net with Tao Daqiang in the afternoon. He was a little surprised to see Li Long come back and asked:
"Did you catch it?"
"I shot a deer. I'll send it back first. I'll clean up the house before I go back." , let’s see if we can hunt a wild boar or something tomorrow. Let’s keep this deer at home. The deer still has a lot of oil on it, so let’s burn it.”
“Okay.” Li Jianguo didn’t expect Li Long to get results so quickly. Unload the venison, find a big basin, press water to remove it, and then prepare it for processing.
"Are you hungry? There is some leftover rice in the pot, can I heat it up for you?"
"No need." Li Long waved his hand, "I have to rest for a while and have to leave."
Li Jianguo I brought him two pieces of mooncakes. They contained a lot of sugar and were good for replenishing energy.
Li Long rode away without waiting for Tao Daqiang to come, so the return journey was less stressful.
When he arrived in the county, Li Long went to the Big Meat Canteen and ate some noodles. After adding three noodles, he was full. After eating, I bought five more steamed buns, planning to eat them if I feel hungry at night, and the rest will be used as breakfast tomorrow morning.
Back in the mountains, it was still quite bright. Li Long went to the small room. To his surprise, the deer was still alive. He had already stood up after hearing the noise. Li Long opened the door, and the deer pushed Li Long. , and then backed away in fear.
Scabs have formed on the wound.
Li Long thought it was quite magical. He tied a rope on the deer's leg, pulled it out and tied it on the grass outside. The deer first took a few steps away from Li Long in fear, and then looked at whether Li Long was there. There was no movement, and then he started to eat grass. After a few mouthfuls, he raised his head and barked twice.
Li Long ignored it and took out the basin of the intestines and belly, went to the spring and started to turn it over.
It seems that next time you go hunting in hot springs, you should bring a sack directly. Warm water is more convenient for turning your stomach and intestines. Cold water will cause the fat to harden and make it difficult to turn. After cleaning it, Li Long started to light a fire under the stove, add water to the pot, and boil.
The smell of dirty gas comes out as the water heats up. This thing will still smell no matter how clean it is. Of course, in the 1910s and 1920s of the last century, those who were soaked with technology have already lost their souls.
When the water boiled, Li Long felt hungry again, so he took a branch, put the buns on, and started baking them on the fire under the stove.
The meat buns are made of solid ingredients, and the caramel aroma comes out soon after being heated. The stomach and intestines inside are probably cooked, and the dirty smell is lighter, and then it starts to smell. The little deer actually started to smell again. Call.
Li Long glanced at it and ignored it. After eating a bun, he felt a little choked and the water was gone. He hurriedly chopped two branches of firewood from under the stove and went to the other stove to start the fire. , set up a pot to boil water.
When the water boiled, Li Long removed the heat, scraped the water into a basin to dry, and then added some water to the pot where the intestines were cooked to prevent them from drying out.
At this time, the sun has set on the top of the mountain, and the temperature has dropped suddenly.
Li Long took the sickle to the edge of the wooden house, randomly cut some grass and put it into the wooden house, and then put the deer inside. The main reason is that if you put it outside at night, it will attract wolves, which will be more harmful than gain.
After the pot of stomach and intestines was warmed, Li Long took them out, put them in a basin, and took them into the house.
The water in the pot was poured into the creek. Li Long guessed that it would attract animals at night.
When the sun completely set, he baked two more steamed buns by the embers of fire, ate them and then went into the house. I have to go see if I can hunt wild boars tomorrow morning, so I have to go to bed early today.
The deer next to me occasionally barked once or twice. When the wolf howled in the distance, the deer immediately stopped barking.
Li Long heard a few vague sounds, like gunshots, and he didn't know if Harimu was ambushing the wolves.
Li Long didn't move anymore, lying on the bed and slowly closing his eyes.
I am really a hard worker.
But hunting and fishing is something I love, so I’m really tired today, but also really happy. Especially at the moment when something is gained, I feel very satisfied.
I fell asleep without realizing it. When I woke up, it was still dark outside.
Looking at the watch with a flashlight, it was already past five o'clock. Li Long put out the flashlight, rubbed his face, got up and got dressed.
After hearing the noise, the deer next door seemed to be moving, but it didn't call out.
Li Long opened the door and saw several dark figures outside suddenly running away and running into the forest.
The wolf is really here!
It’s a pity that we didn’t set up an ambush in advance, otherwise we would still be able to hunt down a wolf today.
Li Long took a flashlight and found that all the wolves had really run away, and there was not a single one left. They should have been in the water where they boiled their bellies just now, and there was also the spring water. When they were skinned and disemboweled, some meat and bone residue would be removed. These things are also temptations for wolves.
It’s a pity that I’m not full.
Li Long opened the safety, loaded the bullet, then turned off the safety, held the gun and pushed the bicycle towards the wild boar.
If he really could hunt down the wild boar, he wouldn't want to carry it back again, it would be too tiring.
As his eyes slowly adapted to the dawn light, Li Long began to speed up and pushed all the way to the edge of the mountain. He put down his bicycle and slowly walked towards the top of the mountain. This mountain is not high, more like a gentle slope. When Li Long passed by, there was no movement there.
He looked at the dark area covered by wild boars that he had seen yesterday, and then began to look for a suitable ambush location.
Finding a location fifty or sixty meters away, Li Long lay down and continued to ambush today.
After waiting for a while, the sky was still dark, and Li Long saw a black shadow coming, but this shadow was a bit thin and small, and it was only one.
After looking at it for a long time, Li Long realized that this thing looked like a fox.
Does the fox also need to come here to find food? Are there not enough marmots and mice on the grass for it to eat?
This is a bit depressing.
The fox rummaged there for a while, not knowing what he caught and ate, then jumped again, as if he was frightened by something, and ran away quickly.
Li Long finally felt relieved.
Then within ten minutes, another group of animals came.
There are only three - they are wolves!
Wolves also dig through garbage to eat? (End of this chapter)
