I looked up and looked outside. It was quite dark. Look at the watch again, it's past four o'clock.
The room was a little cold, the fire in the stove had been extinguished, the windows were not papered tightly, and there was wind coming through. Li Long wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, but then he lifted the quilt and climbed up.
Since you came here to hunt, since you have woken up, and since you can dream about hunting tigers, in the real scene, is it okay to go out and hunt a wild boar cub now?
He got up and put on his clothes, and went over to nail the window paper a little. It has been ventilated all night, there is no need to ventilate it all the time.
I checked with my 56 semi-automatic rifle, filled it with bullets, closed the safety, and carried the gun with me. I took my satchel with a pack of bullets in it, two steamed buns, filled the kettle with cold water, and then Check lighters and pocket knives.
After taking the things, Li Long went out of the door, turned around and locked it, checked the direction, and then strode toward the southwest with a gun on his back.
He remembered that there was a creek near the place where the beekeeper Lao Lu used to stay. Last autumn, the grass there was relatively lush, and wild boars seemed to frequent it. In spring, the grass in other places has not fully grown yet. The grass near the water should grow better. I think wild boars will visit it often, right?
The sky is slightly brighter. Walking in the valley, you can see clearly about ten meters in front of you, but the field of view is not wide. More places are still dark and blurry. Li Long does not walk fast and is afraid of falling. In the cave.
Marmots are quite annoying. Five or six members of a marmot family can dig twenty or thirty holes within a radius of tens of meters. They usually graze on them, and in autumn and winter they graze on grass roots underground. , this piece of grassland was destroyed.
Moreover, this thing carries the plague virus, and its fatality rate is so high. I wonder why the tourists in later generations fell in love with such a sloppy thing?
Just look at those big yellow teeth and you will know that this thing is not clean!
Li Long hates this thing, mainly because the holes it digs are sometimes covered with grass. No matter whether a person or a horse steps in and pouts, his legs will either be broken or sprained.
It was damp and cold in the mountains in the early morning, and mist could be seen vaguely in some places. The grass on the land is not very dense, and occasionally you can see caladiums growing out. It seems that the season for digging caladiums is coming soon. Laowa garlic, or wild tulips, are also growing, and some have already bloomed. Li Long squatted down to find a stick and dug for a while. He dug out the small bulbs underneath, wiped them and stuffed them in his mouth to chew. There was a special sweet taste.
Throw away the stick and move forward. You need to eat a bowl of this thing to fill your stomach.
The view in front became wider. After passing a few hills that were not very high, Li Long saw sporadic droppings of wild boars and other animals in the grass.
When we walked to the place where the beekeeper once placed the hive, there was no movement on the grass. Li Long was very disappointed. It seemed that there were no wild boars.
He walked forward and found traces of wild boar coming. The marks on the weeds were quite fresh. It should have been done yesterday or the day before yesterday, but they didn't come today.
Looks like the trip was in vain.
Looking to the east, the sky is getting brighter again, but the fish belly white has not come out. Looking at the watch again, it is already past five o'clock. I think it will be completely bright in half an hour and forty minutes.
Li Long thought for a while and decided to go to the hot springs in his old base.
From here, go directly east and cross two or three ravines to reach Wenquan Valley.
Li Long found a narrow place, jumped over the stream, and climbed up the mountain.
In the pine forest, new light green needles sprouted from the old pine branches. They looked very cute with different shades of color.
There were pine cones without pine seeds all over the ground under the old pine. These pine cones are not big in size, as long as an adult's middle finger, and are all dark brown, looking like large insect chrysalis.
Li Long picked one up and played with it in his hand. He vaguely remembered that when he went to play in the mountains in his previous life, he picked up a few and brought them back. The neighbor's granddaughter liked such things very much because she had never seen them before and it was novel.
Not to mention that time, even now, there are not many children like Li Qiang who have gone to high school and have never left the county. Occasionally, a trip to Shicheng or Wucheng is a great way to see the world. It seems that a boy who went to high school in the village saw a pine tree in the county No. 1 Middle School and pulled a handful of pine needles back. Many children were surprised. What you can usually see near the village are poplars, willows, elms, and red willows. It is not easy to see plants like pine trees in books. Although there are many places in Nanshan, adults who can go to Nanshan would not think of bringing this thing to their children.
Li Long picked up a few complete pine cones and put them in his backpack, intending to take them back to Li Juan, Li Qiang and others to play with.
It was very quiet in the pine forest. I didn't encounter grouse or hares. The grass didn't grow, so it was easier to walk.
As far as the eye can see, many Codonopsis pilosula branches are turning green and growing small buds.
This thing is also quite magical. When I looked at it in late autumn, the branches on it were all dry, and they broke with a slight fold. They would turn green again in spring. The vitality is really strong. No wonder the wood element in the game is Most mages have life spells.
That's too far.
While walking down the mountain ridge, Li Long saw a lot of weeds in the ravine opposite. The withered yellow and tender green were mixed together, making it very mottled.
Before Li Long reached the bottom of the ditch, he heard movement in the middle of the ditch to the southeast.
When he turned his head to look, he was shocked!
Far away, about a hundred meters away, there was a monster turning to look at him!
That guy was like a tall red deer, with a back height of about 1.45 meters, a tall head of 1.78 meters, and antlers that were much taller than Li Long.
The reason why this guy is a monster is because he has two heads!
Both heads looked at Li Long!
Li Long was startled and turned around subconsciously to get into the forest. Do you dare to mess with this thing?
But then he tightened his grip on the gun. With the gun in his hand, he was afraid of a ball!
Two deers are rare things at any time!
Li Long didn't run away. The guy also found Li Long in the grass. He didn't move, just stared at Li Long.
When Li Long looked carefully, he found that this guy's two heads were a bit uncoordinated, one big and one small. The head on the left was shaking slowly, as if he was shaking his head.
Have you become a spirit? Or deformed?
At least he had an experience in his previous life. Li Long thought it might be a freak, a deformity or other reasons.
No matter what, let’s fight again!
Of course, it would be better if we could catch him alive. It's just such a thing. Those who are engaged in animal observation or breeding see it and shouldn't spend a lot of money to buy it?
Li Long chased over there with a gun!
Catching up with the best is, of course, a luxury. If you can't catch up, you're more likely to be knocked down if you're closer!
When the two-headed deer saw Li Long chasing after him, it actually took two steps toward Li Long, as if testing Li Long's courage, but then it turned around and ran away!
The grass in that ravine was relatively deep, and most of the red deer's body was in the grass and bushes.
But Li Long soon discovered that this deer couldn't run fast!
Unlike the deer I encountered from a distance before, which turned its head and spread its hooves for a few breaths before disappearing, this deer did not run very fast either because of physical uncoordination or injury.
You have something to chase!
Li Long didn’t think it was a trap. Is this thing really capable of becoming a sperm? Impossible.
He held the gun and strode towards the deer. The deer was always in Li Long's field of vision and ran all the way to the head of the ravine.
The ditch is not completely closed. There is a sparse forest there. The deer got into the forest, its figure was vaguely visible, and passed through the forest to the bottom.
Li Long rushed to the forest and saw that there was still a ravine below. This ravine was slightly wider and the grass was not that deep. The deer was running forward along a path trodden by cattle and sheep. Li Long hurriedly He squatted down, took a rough aim with the gun, and fired with a "bang". The bullet hit one of the deer's necks near its head.
The red deer was startled and scurried away. Li Long originally thought that this was at least a critical attack, but he found that the deer continued to run forward as if nothing happened!
If it weren’t for the fact that he still couldn’t run fast, Li Long wouldn’t have even planned to chase him!
Immune to physical attacks?
But looking at the huge red deer, Li Long felt itchy, chase him!
Holding the gun and continuing to run along the path, the path was quite flat. Li Long moved a lot faster. After running for a long time, he was slightly sweaty, but he felt quite happy. .
Of course, it would be even more fun if you could shoot those two deer.
Li Long has never been to this ditch, but the road shows that herders should come here often. The road is easy to walk, and Li Long can run fast. The distance between the two deers and Li Long has changed from more than 100 meters to 100 meters away. It was seventy or eighty meters, but the path was winding and occasionally blocked by woods. Li Long was still unable to take aim, and he was worried that if his aim was ineffective, the deer would run away again.
One person and one deer chased and escaped. They ran along this mountain road for two or three kilometers. Li Long felt that he could hardly keep up. The road was rising, and the altitude was getting higher and higher. Plus, he didn't eat in the morning. He felt a little lacking in energy.
But we have already run here, and it would be a bit embarrassing and a bit reluctant to stop and not chase after us.
That's not a deer, that's a big pile of money.
Li Long held the gun and continued to chase while panting heavily. He planned to give the deer a good meal after he caught it. He cut off the two deer heads and made them into specimens to hang in the wooden house!
With this thought in his mind, he kept his feet on his feet, holding a gun in his hand and always ready to find an opportunity to hug the fire. At this moment, a half-large wild boar suddenly jumped out of the forest on the side. Li Long hurriedly He braked suddenly and raised his gun on guard. Just as he was stunned, he saw a group of semi-large wild boars running out from behind it and stopped twenty or thirty meters in front of Li Long.
The group of wild boars originally came out of the forest and planned to run along the mountain road in the direction of Li Long. However, when they saw Li Long, the half-sized wild boar in the leader was startled. He failed to turn the corner and tried to change direction. As a result, I didn't control my strength properly and my body turned sideways and fell to the bottom of the ditch.
They were followed by a group of little wild boar cubs, and none of them stopped the car and ran after them. Two of them felt the movement behind them, slowed down, and stayed on the mountain road, and then stood there in a daze. Look at Li Long. Hey!
Isn’t this just hitting the muzzle of the gun?
Li Long raised his gun and shot the half-big wild boar that had not yet flipped up, and then aimed at the little wild boar. He vaguely remembered who said he wanted to eat roasted suckling pig. How many of these things could he get back? Isn’t that enough?
At least the favor was returned.
The half-big wild boar fell on the spot. Two of the little wild boars were hit by Li Long. One had his head smashed, which was terrible to look at. The other one had one of his legs shot off and screamed in agony. .
The other wild boars disappeared.
Li Long then looked into the forest. He noticed that a gray shadow flashed and disappeared, and then another gray figure also flashed. He suddenly realized that it was a pack of wolves chasing wild boars!
Are you a fisherman?
Li Long was on full alert, aiming his gun at the forest, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when there was absolutely no movement there.
Hey, where is my deer?
At this time, Li Long remembered that he was chasing the two-headed deer. He looked up and saw that the deer had long disappeared.
What the hell!
I was a little reluctant, but seeing that there was nothing in front of me, and thinking that there was no point in chasing after him, I had to look at the forest again with my gun in hand. There was no movement, and then I walked towards the ditch.
As I walked, I glanced into the woods from time to time. The wolf was too cunning and should not be taken lightly.
At the bottom of the ditch, Li Long was completely relieved. The distance here is thirty or forty meters. I think the wolf has really gone far away. Or you might be hiding somewhere and not daring to come out, wanting to wait until you leave to see if there is anything edible left for you in the ditch.
Li Long saw that the half-grown wild boar had been shot in the neck and was bleeding all over the floor. Although it was still twitching, its eyes were gone and it would die in less than two minutes. There were two little wild boars, the bigger one's head was rotten and he was completely dead, but the smaller one was still alive, but his legs were broken, and he was still howling and screaming on the grass.
Li Long put his gun back on his back, drew his knife and wiped the necks of the surviving little wild boars, then slit the bellies of the two little wild boars, took out the semen from their bellies and placed them in the grass.
Since it was a wild boar driven over by a wolf, and he took advantage of it and ate the bulk of it, he had to leave some benefits for others.
As for the half-large wild boar, Li Long picked it up and carried it on his shoulders. He held it with one hand and held the two small wild boars in his hand, and went back after carrying it.
He left here fifty or sixty meters away, and a gray wolf slowly came out of the forest. He looked at Li Long's back, then quickly went down the ditch, smelled the wild boar's water, and then shouted loudly. Stuttered.
Then another wolf came to join the devouring process.
Half an hour after Li Long disappeared in this ravine, Yushanjiang came over on horseback.
The wolf had eaten and ran away, and there was blood on the ground. Yushanjiang looked around, then looked at the blood, and finally found a few bullet casings. He was sure that Li Long was hunting here.
Yu Shanjiang heard the gunfire and ran over. He guessed it was Li Long, but he didn't meet him.
But when he saw blood stains and knew that Li Long had hit something, he smiled and went back.
When Li Long carried the wild boar back to the wooden house, the sun had just risen. He was a little tired. He put the half-large wild boar on the wooden floor, the two small wild boars on the tractor, and sat down on it. After resting for a while in front of the door, he stood up, opened the door, went in, took a horse spoon and filled his stomach with water.
I was hungry, but I didn’t really want to make breakfast, so I just took a few bites of dry steamed buns, and then started the tractor with the crank handle.
Maybe he was tired, and because it was morning, it was difficult to start the tractor. Li Long cranked it twice and it didn't work. He simply stepped on it with his feet to reduce the pressure, holding the handle and the rotor with both hands. It was spinning very fast, and it felt almost done. As soon as his feet were loosened, his hands immediately felt pressure. He lifted it hard with both hands, and then took advantage of the situation to retreat and withdraw the crank handle. The tractor started suddenly, and a sound came out of the chimney. The clouds of black smoke signify that the accelerator has been turned wide. Li Long turned down the accelerator, shook the handle and threw it into the grid under the clutch, turned around and locked the door.
The three wild boars were thrown on the tractor. Li Long was about to leave. When he saw blood on his clothes, he changed into a coat, then got on the tractor and drove out of the mountain.
Although he had gained something, to be honest, Li Long was really unwilling to give in. That was a two-headed red deer!
I don’t know if I can touch it again in this life. But if you tell me, no one may believe it.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Who could have made such a coincidence?
The tractor drove very fast, and suddenly came out of the mountain, but did not encounter the yellow sheep, and then suddenly crossed the Qingshui River. When it reached Wuyi Road, Li Long raised his head and met him. The sun was very dazzling, and he was wondering if he should get sunglasses. Not to show off, this sunshine is really annoying. Fortunately, there are not many cars now, otherwise it might be a bit more troublesome and prone to car accidents.
When Li Long drove the tractor to the entrance of the big meat canteen, there were still many people eating breakfast. The churning sound of the tractor alarmed Zhong Guoqiang. When he went out and saw it was Li Long, he was immediately happy.
"Comrade Xiao Li, it's really rare for me to drive a tractor here to have breakfast."
"I just came from the mountains. I remember you didn't say that the little wild boar is a suckling pig. Is it delicious? I made two, one is slightly disfigured and the other has a broken leg, please take it away."
“Did you really get it?” Zhong Guoqiang was surprised, wasn’t Li Long too neat? It seems that I mentioned this when he was getting married, and now he has done it?
Zhong Guoqiang went to look at Che Douzi and saw two small wild boars.
That’s it!
But his eyes fell on the half-large wild boar again, and he turned to ask Li Long:
"You want to sell this one too?"
"I don't plan to sell it. "Keep it for yourself." Li Long said with a smile, "Manager Zhong, take the two younger ones away. I'll go back and take care of the older ones later."
"Okay, I still want to." This half-big wild boar tastes good, I want to get some legs.”
"One leg is fine." Li Long thought about it. He couldn't let it go now anyway, so he had to share it. When the time comes, he would get a leg sent to him.
Some people were watching around and saw that it was a wild boar. Listening to the conversation between the two people, someone immediately asked:
"Are you selling wild boar? How much does it cost? Can you give it to me? Weighing a leg?"
"Not good. I mean, this is not for sale. I will eat it for myself and give it to my friends." Li Long said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, I just came back from the mountains and I have to go have breakfast. Let's go."
Zhong Guoqiang. He carried the two little wild boars and went inside.
Li Long ordered porridge, pickles, and two flower rolls. While he was eating, Zhong Guoqiang came over to give him money.
"Two ends, one end is ten yuan, this is twenty."
"No, no, no, no," Li Long held the flower roll in his hand and waved hurriedly:
"Send it off I gave it to you. It’s not worth it. Manager Zhong. If you can come to get married, you will be giving me a lot of face. How can I collect money from this wild boar cub?"
"If you don't accept this, then you have to accept the wild boar legs." Zhong Guoqiang advised, "I am here. It’s public property, so don’t be polite.”
"No, no, no," Li Long said, "I'm not being polite. Let's do this. I'll charge you ten yuan for that wild boar leg." He took a big unity card and said, "That's it. I'll go back and clean it up later." Okay, I'll bring it to you."
"Okay." Zhong Guoqiang nodded with a smile.
A half-sized wild boar will not be sent home. Li Xiangqian, Chen Hongjun, and Zhong Guoqiang each had a pork leg, and the remaining meat was dried directly in the big yard and kept for eating. I'll get a big one next time and send it home.
The destination of wild boar meat is clear.
As Li Long ate, he still felt unwilling to do so.
That's a two-headed deer. (End of this chapter)
