When Li Long led Li Junshan and Li Junfeng to the thing with a gun, he saw that it was indeed a wild boar.
This pig is not small, it seems to be more than 100 kilograms, bigger than the wild boar that was killed at home. She just looks a little too thin. Although most of her body is covered with snow, she can tell that she is very long but not fat.
"Hey, Uncle Xiaolong, you are so lucky. You just came here and picked up a wild boar. This pig is not small. If you sell the meat, you can sell it for a hundred or ten yuan." Li Junfeng smiled. explain.
Li Long shook his head, put his gun on his back and walked over, bending down to clean the snow off the wild boar, and then he saw the cause of death.
The wild boar's neck was strangled with a thick wire sleeve, which was inserted very deep into the flesh. The other end of the wire sleeve was tied to a small tree as thick as an arm - it can be seen that the tree was directly connected to the tree. It was broken by this wild boar.
“This wild boar fell into someone else’s trap,” Li Long said. “It tore off the tree and ran here. It probably wanted to eat something, but the wire of the trap was too deep. He didn’t eat anything, and I don’t know if he died of starvation or strangulation.”
“It doesn’t matter how he died, the meat is still edible.”< br>
"If you don't disembowel something like a wild boar after it dies, the blood will remain in the meat, which will stink the body." Li Long shook his head and said, "This meat... I guess you can't eat it."
"Why can't I eat it? Doesn't it smell bad to me?" Li Junfeng had no idea about the smell of meat and said, "Isn't this meat all frozen?"
"If you don't believe it, then take it back and take a look." Li Long also read the information about the stench of frozen meat in the novel, which really made him say that he couldn't explain why, after all, he had never experienced it.
Listening to Li Long's words, Li Junfeng immediately asked Li Junshan to help, and the two of them pulled the wild boar and walked up the mountain.
Li Long saw that the two of them were struggling, so he asked Li Junshan to go back to the wooden house, get a bag from the carriage, flip the wild boar onto the bag, and then pull the bag. It would be much easier to walk on the snow. .
"Hey," Li Junfeng said while dragging him: "Uncle Xiaolong, this is a good idea, I really didn't expect it to be done like this..."
After the wild boar was pulled to the wooden house, Li Long asked Li Junfeng He and Li Junshan cut off the four legs of the wild boar while the pork was frozen, and then cut open the belly.
Although Li Junshan felt it was a pity, since Li Longrang did it, he must have his own thoughts, so he did it.
When the wild boar's belly was cut open, Li Long had already lit a fire on the stove outside, set up a pot, and boiled water.
"Pull the four legs to the carriage and put them there, then put the remaining cut open on the edge of the stove to melt. When it melts, you will know why you can't eat it." Li Long After saying something to Li Junfeng, he entered the house.
Seeing Li Long enter the house, Li Junfeng outside said to Li Junshan:
“I really don’t believe that you can’t eat that thing. Look at the red meat. It’s weird how well it’s preserved after being frozen. Why can’t you eat it? ”
The fire under the stove was mainly for chopping firewood. It burned very vigorously and quickly roasted the pork. Even though the distance was fifty or sixty centimeters, the fire still burned the pig's hair, and a burnt smell wafted over.
Soon, Li Junfeng's expression changed. He smelled an unpleasant smell. The faster the meat melted, the stronger the smell became. It was the strong smell of rotten flesh and blood. The taste.
He looked at Li Junshan and said helplessly:
"It seems that it is really inedible. How do you eat this smelly meat?"
"Do you want it? Give it a try. Didn’t Uncle Xiaolong say this meat smells bad? Because it was not opened, the blood was in the meat, and the gas in the stomach was fermented. Then wash the meat well and try to wash away the blood. "Li Junshan looked at this piece of pork and couldn't eat it. , also felt a little pity, so he put forward his own ideas.
"Then try it." Li Junfeng went to the wooden house and took out a basin, scooped out some hot water from the pot on the stove, threw a few pieces of snow into it to turn into warm water, then cut a large piece of meat and put it in. Scrub and wash.
My hands immediately became greasy when they were stained with oil. Soon, the water in the basin turned black and red, with a foul smell. Li Junfeng picked up the meat and smelled it, feeling that the smell was lighter.
He handed the meat to Li Junshan and said with a smile:
“It’s really useful, this meat doesn’t stink so much anymore!”
Li Junshan took it and walked aside to take it. He smelled it, shook his head and said:
"It still smells bad. It just tastes like this. I can't eat it. It seems like this method won't work."
"How can it not work?" Li Junfeng was still a little unconvinced, so he poured out the water in the basin and made another mess. The water in the basin started to clean up, and after washing, he gave up on his own.
He knew that he had been smelling it and his sense of smell might have been affected, but even so, the piece of meat still had a smell in his hand. It has a smell that makes you want to vomit. If you put this into rice, you will really not be able to eat it.
"What a pity!" He threw the meat into the basin, went to the edge and bent down to grab a handful of snow, rubbing the oil on his hands with a look of pity on his face, "If we could eat it, we could eat it today. What a great meal, so much meat..."
"Also It's not necessarily a pity." Li Long walked out of the room at some point and said with a smile, "We can't eat this meat, but if we can eat it, then our chance will come... Come on, You two get something with me.”
As soon as he heard that this thing was useful, Li Junfeng immediately became excited. He followed Li Long to the small room and asked as he walked:
"Uncle Xiaolong, what's the use for it?"
" What else can it be used for?" Li Long found a bundle of wire in the small room, took it out and said to Li Junfeng: "We can't eat this. But wolves and foxes still like to eat it. In this winter, their noses are very sharp. They tie the meat with wires, cook it half-cooked and throw it into the snow. The wires are nailed into the ground. When these things come over, we can shoot live targets."
"This is a good idea!" Li Junfeng immediately took the wire from Li Long's hand and went to get the meat bait. . Li Junshan also went over to help.
It's a pity that Li Long didn't bring the small caliber over now, so he only had his own gun, which was a bit weak.
But it doesn’t matter, just give it a try. Harimu said that there are many wolves in the mountains, so let's see if these wolves will come to prey on the smelly pork here.
There were a lot of pieces of pork. Since it could be used as bait, Li Junfeng thought it would be more economical. He cut off five pieces of meat and dragged the rest to the side of the wooden house and buried it with snow. He also stepped on it and planned to Use it later.
After the five pieces of meat were cooked for a while, Li Long ran away. The smell was so unpleasant that he decided that when he really hit the wolf, he would have to ask Li Junfeng to clean the pot. Although it was his own idea, seeing how enthusiastic he was, he would leave the matter to him.
Li Junfeng didn’t think it smelled bad, maybe he was used to it and didn’t feel it anymore. He and Li Junshan took out the meat, and then followed Li Long's instructions, placing pieces here and there in a 100-square-meter area in front of the wooden house. Then they found stones and tied the other end of the wire to the stones. . The stones are not big, the largest one is about the same as a volleyball, and the small one is only as big as two fists. However, Li Junfeng and Li Junshan poured melted snow water on the stone. Soon, the stone froze to the ground and was covered with ice.
Li Junfeng also poured the meat soup in the pot on the meat to let the meat itself exude a strong smell. Okay, this time he was sure that as long as there were meat-eating animals nearby, he would definitely be able to smell it. Tasty.
After everything was done, Li Junfeng and Li Junshan washed the pot several times together, put away the pot and returned to the wooden house. Li Long was loading ten bullets into the 56 semi-automatic rifle. After pressing in, he pointed the gun towards the window.
Although it was broad daylight, the windows were covered with plastic sheets and the door was closed, so the room was not very bright.
"Uncle Xiaolong, do you think something will come?" Li Junfeng was full of confidence when he was busy just now, but now that he is free, he is a little uneasy.
If you have been busy for a long time and nothing comes, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?
"It will come." Li Long said with certainty, "No matter how big or small, something will definitely come."
"I hope it will be big." Li Junfeng said.
Li Long smiled, pointed to the window and said:
"Put off the plastic sheet, and you two will take turns observing to see when something comes over."
"Okay, okay, I'll come first." Li Junfeng immediately went over and lifted a corner of the plastic sheet on the window. A cool breeze rushed in, making him shiver.
But then he grabbed the collar of his neck to let the wind have nowhere to go, and then looked outside.
"Change every ten minutes." Li Long half-lying on the wooden kang said, "Don't look at it for too long, your eyes can't stand it and it's very cold."
After about ten minutes, Li Junshan took the place. Li Junfeng hurriedly sat in front of the stove and lit the fire while saying:
"It's been a while, but nothing has come."
"It's not that fast!" Li Long said with a smile, "Even if you set a trap for a rabbit, you have to wait all night before you see any movement. The same goes for setting a sticky net. There are so many fish in Xiaohaizi, and you have to wait for setting the net. The fish can't be collected until the next day. You put the things down and you want to have them soon. Things are coming, if that’s the case, then there are too many wild things in the mountains!”
Li Junfeng smiled, he also knew that he was anxious, but this was the first time he was doing something related to hunting in the mountains! , I’m really a little excited, and hope to feel a little bit accomplished.
In less than ten minutes, he changed to Li Junshan again. After two more rounds, Li Junshan suddenly shouted:
"Uncle Xiaolong, you look like something is coming! "
"What? What? Let me see!" Li Junfeng walked over impatiently.
"Keep your voice down!" Li Long stood up and patted him and said, "If you scare things away, then you won't have to play!"
"Oh oh oh!" Li Junfeng said with apology on his face, carefully After looking at the thing, I was a little disappointed and said:
"It's a bit small...it doesn't look like It's a wolf!"
"Of course it's not a wolf." Li Long pulled him aside, looked at it carefully, and said, "That fox is not a wolf."
" Fox? Uncle Xiaolong, are you saying that the leather is valuable?”
"Well, twenty or thirty yuan." Li Long shook his head and said, "Don't fight him yet, let him get some food and go away. Let's wait for the wolf. If we kill the fox now, the wolf will not come."
< br>"Is there such a thing?" Li Junfeng was a little confused, "Then the wolf is that smart?"
"That's not true." Li Long put down the plastic sheet and said, "Let it eat. , Eat a piece of meat until you are exhausted. From ancient times to the present, loud noises, lightning and thunder have been phenomena that can scare animals. The wolves in the mountains are shot every day or two, and even if they hear the sound of gunshots, There is something here, so I don’t dare to come over.”
Li Junfeng lifted the plastic sheet and took a look at the fox who was eating wild boar meat, feeling a little regretful.
But when it comes to hunting, he can only be obedient and cannot make the decision at all.
Seeing the fox finally chewing a piece of meat and running away, Li Junfeng asked again:
"Uncle Xiaolong, do you think the wolf will definitely come?"
"Then I can't I know." Li Long waved his hand, "I think 80% can come. Right. It’s not easy for the wolf to find food under such thick snow. If there is something ready to eat, he will definitely want to come back to eat.”
Wait until the sun is higher than the mountains in the west. By the time, Li Junfeng was already a little anxious. This is equivalent to waiting for something to happen. The more you care about it, the slower it feels like time passes. So Li Junshan stared at the window. Li Long half-leaned on the big wooden bed and chatted with Li Junshan. He was the only one who could neither sit nor stand. After a while, Look at it for a while, for fear of missing it.
At this moment, Li Junshan suddenly spoke:
"Uncle Xiaolong, there is... it should be a wolf, right? It looks like a dog, coming over!"
Li Long was a little surprised when he heard this. It was not dark yet, and the wolf came over like this. ?
He immediately came to the window and pushed aside Li Junfeng who couldn't wait to see.
"Hey, it's really a wolf!" Li Long smiled, a little surprised, "It came before dark, and these wolves seem to be starving..."
"Let me see, let me see!" Li Junfeng was very anxious and wanted to come over and have a look.
"Okay, take a look. After you finish reading, go aside. I'm ready to shoot!" Li Long opened the 56% safety by the window, pulled the trigger, pushed the bullet and loaded the gun, and was ready.
Li Junfeng looked through the window paper. In his field of vision, four wolves walked towards the place where he kept the wild boar meat in a fan shape.
"These wolves are all about the same size... Hey, one of them is smaller. I don't know which one is the wolf king?" Li Junfeng said, and then moved out of the way.
Li Long placed the gun on the window and slowly took aim. (End of this chapter)
