Because there were roe deer near the wooden house, Li Long did not stay away in the morning because he was not sure when the wild roe deer would be sent away, so he needed to prepare some forage for this guy first.
Near the wooden house is the grassland of Yushanjiang, but after the wooden house was built, Yushanjiang has not cut grass in this area. He probably tacitly assigned this piece of grassland to Li Long, and Li Long will deal with it. everything.
So in flat areas, the grass grows very high. Because there is no grass cutting, it is easy for Li Long to find a piece of grass nearby that is not weighed down by snow.
This pasture is a tangled growth of alfalfa and some velvet vines. It is very dense. Li Long took down the sickle hanging on the wall of the small room. When he got there, he patted off the remaining snow on the grass and cut it. stand up.
After one bundle of visible forage was cut, the rest was buried under the snow.
The snow has been falling for a while, and a hard crust has formed on it. Although it cannot withstand people, ordinary small animals can easily walk on it - which is why the red fox escaped safely.
This layer of snow shell is a bit troublesome for Li Long. He needs to break it into pieces before he can continue to cut the forage below. Li Long feels that although it is a bit troublesome, he still has to do what needs to be done. He uses a sickle to The son smashed the snow shell, cleared away the broken snow, and continued to mow the grass.
After cutting the two bundles of grass, Li Longyuan planned to do it this way. The two bundles of grass should be enough for a day or two. However, looking at the raised areas of the snow crust in front, he guessed that the grass below should grow better, so he thought of mowing a little more, then called it a day and went back to cook.
When he smashed the snow shell, Li Long felt that he had hit something hard, and the sickle even felt the force of the rebound.
He was a little disappointed. It turned out that it was not tall grass covered with snow, but something underneath.
At that moment, Li Long thought about not cutting it and was fooled.
But curiosity drove him to pull the snow a few times with his sickle, revealing what was underneath.
A corner.
Antlers.
Li Long was a little surprised. How could this thing end up here?
In the spring and summer, he spent a lot of time in the wooden house, and his range of activities was quite large. Why didn't he see any deer antlers here?
He quickly pulled out the antlers. There were two branches on a large branch, weighing four kilograms, which was considered light among the antlers he had obtained previously.
But it was an unexpected surprise after all, and Li Long was very happy - this is a new character this year, you can tell.
He took a good look at the corner, then placed it next to the straw bale, and then looked for it nearby.
Half an hour later, Li Long smashed all the snow shells in a radius of 20 meters and found the second antler - it was beside a stone.
Li Long guessed that the big deer probably knocked off the horns on the top of his head through this stone. After the two branches fell, they were lower than the grass, so I didn't notice them.
But after it snowed, the tall grass was suppressed by the snow. Instead, the hard antlers, which were not very tall, pushed out the snow, and Li Long mistakenly recognized it as tall grass.
What a dramatic coincidence.
Li Longxi diligently put the two antlers on the straw bale and carried them back together.
Arrived in front of the wooden house, Li Long put down the bale of grass, picked up the pair of antlers and put them aside. He threw the whole bale of grass to the wild roe deer as a reward for it - without it, Li Long really may not be able to find the pair of antlers.
Then he went back and brought back the other bundle of grass and placed it next to the wooden house as food for the roe deer tomorrow. Then Li Long happily started preparing lunch.
There was still a lot of mutton left over from yesterday, so Li Long reheated the mutton soup. Mutton soup is delicious, but to be honest, Li Long doesn't dare to drink it too much because it can easily cause hyperlipidemia. In his last life, Li Long loved and hated this thing. I really want to drink it, but every time I drink mutton soup, my brain becomes drowsy and uncomfortable.
Although young people with excessive bodies now have no restrictions on eating, for the sake of the future, it is better to drink less.
The mutton soup contained some overcooked mutton that fell off the bones. Li Long took another piece of naan. After the mutton soup boiled, he skimmed off a layer of oil on top and scooped it out. In a bowl of broth, Li Long broke open the naan, soaked it in the soup, and ate it.
The outside of the naan is soaked with mutton soup, and the inside is still a bit hard. This feeling of soft on the outside and hard on the inside makes eating it not very stomach-breaking, but also delicious. After eating a piece of naan, Li Long is still not satisfied, and I took a piece of naan, broke it open and soaked it in it.
This time the naan is not as fragrant as the last time. In fact, it is obviously the same, but the feeling is different. It's like adding noodles to noodles. Obviously they are all noodles from the same pot, but the mixing time is different when they are put into the bowl. It feels like the added noodles are not as fragrant as the original noodles.
After finishing a bowl of mutton soup, Li Long was full. He took the mutton soup bowl off the stove, covered the stove lid, put a teapot of water on it, and let it boil slowly.
After eating, Li Long lay on the wooden kang and planned to take a good rest. At this moment, the roe deer outside suddenly screamed. The sound was very loud and urgent. Li Long immediately got up and copied He picked up the 56 semi-automatic rifle next to the kang, opened the door and rushed out.
With just a quick glance, Li Long discovered that to the east of the wooden house, a man, a horse and a dog were running in this direction.
The dog ran and barked at the roe deer here. The man was wearing a leather hat and carrying a gun. The horse didn't run very fast, but the target was very clear. He was coming towards the wooden house. .
Li Long had the gun in his hand and was not afraid, but was a little surprised that he could meet an unknown mountain person in this winter.
What does this person do?
The man rode his horse to a place about ten meters away from Li Long and stopped. The dog was beside the horse, barking at Li Long from time to time, but he did not dare to come close. The dog was a big, native dog with a fierce appearance and long hair. It was the kind of good-looking dog that some later generations sought after native hunting dogs.
"What do you do?" Before Li Long could speak, the man spoke first, with a stiff tone, a minority face, and a fierce expression.
"What do you do?" Li Long didn't tolerate him, "What are you doing here?"
The man didn't expect that Li Long didn't answer and directly attacked him. After being stunned for a moment, he became a little angry. He threw the rifle down with a throw of his shoulder and held it in his hand, gesturing towards Li Long:
"I am the ranger here, what do you do? Say it quickly! I will kill you if I don't!"
Where did this idiot come from?
Li Long was quite angry as he watched the man's muzzle pointing at him - although it was clear that he did not turn on the safety or load the bullet, but this kind of holding The action of pointing a gun at someone really makes people angry, especially the knowledgeable people!
Li Long simply pulled the gun and loaded the bullet, aimed at the man's horse and said:
"I am also a ranger! Put down your gun, or your horse will die!"
Li Long's action startled the man. Not only was he startled, but his dog was also frightened, barking crazily. Apparently it also felt Li Long's hostility!
The man felt a little bit like he was riding a tiger, but looking at Li Long's gun, he lowered the muzzle of the gun, then dismounted, stood in front of the horse, and said in a gentle tone:
< br>"I am really a forest ranger! I am responsible for watching over this pasture and forest land. It is not allowed to build your wooden house on someone else's pasture. Do you understand?"
"Bring the documents and notices!" Li Long himself is a forest ranger. Although he often doesn't go to the unit, he is still very clear about the products of this era. Whether a house can be built on such a pasture depends on the owner of the pasture, not the ranger. Moreover, at this time, individuals were not allowed to build houses on the grasslands. This house was built by Yushanjiang and the others, so there were no violations.
So Li Long is not afraid at all!
"This wooden house was built by the owner of the grassland." Li Long didn't understand what was going on with this guy, so he came over to talk about this, but he thought he could explain it simply, "If you want to say that it's not allowed to be built, Bring me the documents!”
Of course the man didn’t have the documents, so he couldn’t explain why.
"Do you know who the owner of this pasture is?" Li Long was a little doubtful of his identity. "If you don't know, then you are a fake ranger! You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I won't You’re welcome!”
When Li Long said this, the ranger, although a little reluctant, still said:
"This pasture originally belongs to Yushan River. But, after a while, it will be mine. So, you This wooden house cannot be built. You'd better demolish it. If you don't demolish it later, I won't let you live in it!"
What else?
Although Li Long was confused, he waved his hand and said:
"There is no proof, bring the documents! You are a ranger, not a herdsman, you can still have your own Pasture? Just watch your woods! I tell you, you Now that I know Yushanjiang, I can definitely find you! I’m determined to live in this house! If I find anything wrong with this wooden house later, I’ll tell you, I’m a forest ranger too! If something happens, you can’t run away!”
The man didn't expect that Li Long would threaten him. He was a little angry when he heard this, but he didn't know how to refute. He groaned for a long time and finally said:
"Don't be so crazy! I tell you, When this pasture is mine, I will let you go!"
After that, the man put his gun on his horse, muttered something and left.
The dog barked at Li Long twice and ran away.
It feels a bit bleak.
Li Long watched the man leave with some inexplicable feelings.
He could roughly draw a line. This person may indeed be a forest ranger, or he may indeed have a dispute with Yushanjiang about the pasture. Now as a ranger, I came to inspect the pasture, and then I saw Li Long's wooden house.
What Li Long is not sure about now is whether it is really possible that this pasture will be allocated to others. In that case, he may really be driven away.
At that time, it is possible to contact Li Xiang to handle the matter.
The most urgent task is to go to Yushanjiang to find out whether this is true.
Li Long went to lead the roe deer to the small room, put an armful of grass inside, and then locked the door.
Then he suppressed the fire in the stove with coal foam, swept away the ashes under the stove, and cleaned the iron sheet. Then he put on his fur coat and fur hat, and walked out of the cabin with a gun.
After locking the door, Li Long walked in the direction of Yushan Jiangdong's Nest.
At this time, he wanted to get a horse. In this winter, the straight line distance is five kilometers, and the twists and turns are at least seven or eight kilometers. If he has a horse, he can save at least half the time.
Unfortunately not.
Of course, there is another problem: it is difficult to store. Especially in summer, riding a horse out of the mountains feels a bit nondescript.
Let’s talk about it. Find Yushanjiang first and understand the matter clearly before talking about it. (End of this chapter)
