Finally saw it again.
Two-headed deer.
But the distance was too close, and Li Long could see clearly this time.
It’s not that this deer really has two heads. It has only one head. The horns on the head are very long and very big, and there is a head with the same horns hanging on it. But at this time, only the head is left. Down the bones.
This reminded Li Long of the video he saw in his last life. Two deer fought, and one of them was gored to death by the other, but the antlers of the two deer were entangled and could not be separated. In order to survive, the victorious deer had to drag the dead deer's body away until the dead deer's body rotted and its head and With the neck falling off, the deer was somewhat relieved.
I don’t know why, but this majestic male deer’s antlers did not fall off, nor did it grow any antler.
Are the current antlers too strong?
Li Long is not a zoologist and does not know the reason for this. But when he saw the deer, the deer saw him. At this moment, the deer has the skull of another deer on its head. There is still an horn hanging on the skull, and the other horn has fallen off and is unknown to where it went.
It looks weird.
When the deer saw Li Long, it accelerated instantly, and then stopped in front of the fawn to protect the fawn with his own body.
However, at this moment, a roar came from the grass, and a brown bear as tall as an adult jumped out. When he saw the deer in front of him, he immediately jumped towards it with his palms raised!
The adult male red deer panicked and hurriedly turned around to protect the young red deer. The young red deer also became anxious when it heard the roar of the brown bear. The grass stirred, I fell down, and I couldn't get up after crawling twice.
The fawn's anxious cry distracted the male deer. When it turned its head to look, the brown bear had already launched an attack - a pair of bear paws slapped the male deer.
At this time, Li Long saw that the male red deer had several wounds on its body, but it was also brave. Even its head and horns were much taller than the brown bear. At this time, he lowered his head and reached towards the brown bear!
Li Long felt like he was watching a movie. Is this male red deer so brave? How dare you confront a brown bear head-on!
The antlers hit the brown bear first. Although it didn't go in, it still hurt the brown bear. It roared angrily and grabbed the male deer's face with one claw. The claws, which were comparable to small daggers, were directly brought out deep inside. Deep bloodstains are coming!
The buck whined, but struggled to get out of the brown bear's claws, took a step back and pressed on again. This is the only way it can resist this bear.
The brown bear learned to be smart this time. He dodged for a moment and then grabbed the red deer's neck with his claws.
Knowing that he was outmatched, the male red deer turned around and ran away. He ran in the opposite direction to the young red deer, towards the bottom of the ditch. Now the brown bear was a little dumbfounded, who was he chasing?
This is what Li Long was waiting for. He aimed at the brown bear's head and pulled the trigger!
"Bang bang bang!"
Three bullets were fired in a row. After being shot once, the brown bear roared and rushed this way, and then was shot twice more. The brown bear still wanted to turn around and run into the grass. , it is really not stupid, it will run away when it knows it can't do it, it can just turn its head, and then fall to the ground.
The power of five or six half bullets cannot be underestimated!
Li Long did not take it lightly either. This time it was an unintentional ambush, which was easier than the last time. He turned his head and looked down, and saw that the two deer had disappeared into the grass. Looking up again, he saw that the little deer was still struggling in the grass. He didn't know if it was injured too seriously. It didn't bark at this time. There was fluttering.
It seems that this fawn should be the calf of a two-headed deer. The two-headed deer has fatherly love for it, but this love is probably limited. I don’t know where the doe is, whether it has been abandoned in the grass in front.
Li Long observed carefully and found that the brown bear's body did not rise and fall. It did not look like it was pretending to be dead. However, he did not dare to take it lightly. He raised his gun and shot the bear again.
The bear was motionless.
Li Long was relieved. If a brown bear pretending to be dead could keep it from moving even if it was shot, then Li Long would be willing to be fooled.
However, he stopped where he was, filled the gun with bullets, and then walked towards the bear with the gun in hand.
The bear is not that big, and is somewhat similar to the bear I hunted last time. It feels like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy of this era. He has not yet reached adulthood, but he is already mature. I am rebellious, I don’t want to be around adults, I want to carve out a world on my own.
Then he died.
Li Long walked up to the bear and pulled it with his bayonet. The bear didn't move. He put the gun aside, took out the knife and prepared to peel it.
The most valuable thing in a bear is naturally its gallbladder. I had an experience and this time it was easy to take out the gallbladder from the bear's body, wrap it up with the prepared cloth and put it in the satchel.
Facing such a half-grown bear, Li Long was really a little worried.
The tractor can't drive in. This bear is about the same size as an adult and weighs more than one hundred or two hundred kilograms.
I can only take two legs back with me at most, and the rest will be wasted.
But there is nothing we can do.
In the end, Li Long decided to take away the skin of the bear. As for the meat, just take a fan and a leg.
While he was skinning and picking flesh here, there was another movement in the grass. Li Long hurriedly put down the knife and picked up the gun.
Then I saw a wild boar emerging from the grass, sniffing, apparently smelling blood.
Li Long raised his gun and started shooting, but the wild boar was also extremely alert. When he saw Li Long, he turned around and retreated into the tall grass.
I don’t know if it was hit or not.
Li Long didn’t chase him either. I can't even get this bear right now, and if I get a wild boar, it will still be a white ball card if I can't get it back.
It’s better not to fight.
Keep skinning the bear. This bear is quite fat, and if it wasn't too big, it would be quite easy to skin it. Li Long peeled off the entire bear skin, then removed the bear ribs and legs, wrapped them in the bear skin, tied them with a rope, and left.
After taking two steps out and then returning, there is something better on the bear, namely bear paws.
You can’t make it yourself, but you can give this thing as a gift.
Li Long turned back, cut off two bear paws, tied them with a rope and hung them around his neck. He couldn't carry the rest anymore.
The little deer struggled and ran into the forest at some point. Li Long thought that it might not survive.
But I don’t have time to look for it.
It took Li Long nearly two hours to return to the cabin with the trophies, and then he saw Sun Jiaqiang.
"What are you..." Sun Jiaqiang was sitting on the tractor seat. He was also startled when he saw Li Long. He jumped down to help, while helping Li Long take things from his neck. While asking:
"What is this? It doesn't look like a wild boar. Is this a bear?"
< br>"Yes, it's a bear." Li Long put the bear skins and bear meat on the tractor's rack, and then said:
"Yesterday, I heard a fritillary digger say that he encountered a bear in the mountains. It’s not that big, so I just thought about going over and hitting it, but unexpectedly, I actually encountered it and hit it.”
"Are you so lucky?" Sun Jiaqiang said enviously, "I heard it, saw it, and hit it. I used to live in my hometown and never heard that hunting was so simple."
< br>"I'm lucky." Li Long smiled Said, "Hunting has always been like this."
Li Long was telling the truth. He went into the mountains with a gun to hunt last year, and almost always got results on the spot, and rarely continued pursuit. This is different from The hunting I imagined was really different.
It’s just different if it’s different, as long as it’s rewarding.
"Where's the rest of the bear meat? Did you throw it into the mountains?" Sun Jiaqiang asked.
"Yes." Li Long waved his hand, "If you can't bring it back, you can only throw it into the mountains."
"Where is it? Tell me, and I'll find it!" Sun Jiaqiang became anxious after hearing this, "That's a bear, so big...can you eat it for a long time? It looks so fat..."
Li Long didn’t hide it from him. He drew a detailed map for Sun Jiaqiang on the ground. Sun Jiaqiang also spent a lot of time nearby. After Li Long said this, he knew the specific map after a few questions. location, then took the bag from Li Long, grabbed a kitchen knife and ran into the mountains quickly.
Li Long didn't remember until Sun Jiaqiang ran away, and didn't ask him why he came here.
But seeing a bag of caladium standing next to the tractor, Li Long understood.
He didn't have time to worry about the fritillary at the moment. He first boiled water and processed the bear bile. Then he spread the bear skin with salt and hung it on the tractor bed to dry.
The bear meat is then processed. Spread salt on the two bear paw sections to avoid attracting flies. The meat was removed from the bear steaks and legs, and the bones with meat were cooked in a pot on the stove outside. The removed meat was cut into small pieces and burned with the suet that Li Long brought back specially.
This bear is not big, but the bear oil is comparable to lard. Soon, oil as clear as water came out of the roasted meat pot, rolling, and filled with a slightly different aroma.
Li Long just stood by the pot, glancing in the direction of Sun Jiaqiang from time to time. After a while, another person came over to sell caladiums. What surprised Li Long was that the caladiums this man brought were also half-dry and half-wet. Li Long also charged him six yuan.
This man was originally ready to explain, but then he stopped talking. It was the bearskin that caught his attention, and he asked:
"Boss Li, did you hit this?"
"Yes."
"How dare you? Right?”
“Yes.”
"Can you sell it to me?" The man said with a smile, "I have good things here, let's trade them with you!"
"What do you want to trade with me?" Li Long asked curiously.
"Look." The man took something out of the bag containing his belongings.
Li Long was happy when he saw it. Isn't this jasper?
The quality of this jasper is not bad, but it is not big, weighing about two kilograms. If you look closely, there are slight black spots, which are not as good as the jade he got from Harimu for the first time.
"Jade, do you understand? This piece can be sold for hundreds of yuan. If you meet someone who knows the business, it is not impossible to sell it for thousands of yuan!" The man said mysteriously, "I will exchange this for you, but you have to find it again." I have some money.”
“Forget it, I don’t understand this thing, and I don’t want it. I think bear bile is good.”
When he said this, the man was shocked. Frame it.
Originally I wanted to exchange the bear bile back to the county to resell it for more money, but they didn’t accept the move.
But then the man also figured out that Li Long was a local. It was impossible that he had never seen jade, and it was impossible that he did not know the value of bear bile.
It’s because I’m blinded by my desire to make money.
Li Long was a little confused as to why he didn’t go down the mountain to sell these more than ten kilograms of Fritillaria.
"There are still dozens of kilometers to go down the mountain. I have to carry this thing until tomorrow. I'm too tired. Why don't I exchange money with you." This person said it very frankly.
But Li Long really doesn’t understand it. As for being able to endure hardship, these people have been living in the mountains for more than a month. Just like savages, they can definitely endure hardship.
But let’s just say we can’t bear hardships. We obviously take these fritillaries to counties dozens of kilometers away, and after drying them, we can get double the price, but they can’t do it just for these dozens of kilometers. Willing to carry.
Okay, I don't understand.
After the man changed the money, he saw that the meat pot was boiling and pestered Li Long to cut him a small piece of bear meat and said he wanted to try it.
Li Long got his wish.
After eating the bear meat, the man carried the bag and walked towards the back mountain with satisfaction.
Li Long poked the meat with chopsticks. The meat was not rotten yet. However, the meat and oil being burned over there were almost done, so he turned off the fire. Wait for it to cool down, scrape it into the basin, and then let it cool again. After soaking it, you can take it away directly with the basin.
Seeing that Sun Jiaqiang hadn't come back yet, Li Long went to the wooden house and planned to steam some rice. After the bear meat is cooked, cut some into pieces and mix with them, then scramble an egg.
After the rice was steamed, Li Long scraped the meat and oil from the stove outside into a basin and brought it back to the house to cool. There was some oil left in the pot on the stove. Li Long went to get some wild onions and came back, using the oil to fry wild onions and eggs.
He beat eight eggs, which together with the meat should be enough for two people.
When Li Long saw that the bear meat was cooked, Sun Jiaqiang's figure appeared in the forest in the distance.
What made Li Long dumbfounded was that Sun Jiaqiang was carrying a bag and dragging another bag in his hand. He had obviously gotten all the remaining bear meat back.
Li Long rushed forward and took the bag from his hand. He could feel that Sun Jiaqiang was almost exhausted.
Li Long carried the bags back to the wooden house one by one and said to Sun Jiaqiang:
"Why did you take so much? If you don't leave any... look at your clothes, you are soaked with sweat. "
"Now that you have it, take it all, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain?" Sun Jiaqiang leaned on the tractor and gasped with a smile, "When I went over. I also saw that strange deer, the one with two heads. It ran away as soon as it saw me. Hey, I saw it clearly this time. It was not really a two-headed deer. It had a skull deer head on its head. , it also has an horn, I don’t know how to get it up.”
Li Long didn’t expect that the deer didn’t go away. He wondered whether the doe really died in the mountains, or whether it was dead in the mountains. Half dead or not?
Or did the deer not find its baby, so it came looking for it again?
But I don’t think about that much right now, I have to eat first.
There are many good things in the mountains, and it is impossible to get them all by yourself.
But Li Long wanted to go there again after returning from the county to see if there would be any other gains.
Sun Jiaqiang rested for a while before standing up. By this time, Li Long had already put out the rice and cut the meat and put it on the plate. He was not polite and started eating when he got to the case.
"Not bad, not bad, the meat is delicious." Sun Jiaqiang said with a smile, "Boss Li, your craftsmanship is no worse than that of Lao Huang."
"It's definitely bad. But for home-cooked meals, that's it. Meaning." Li Long said with a smile, "Besides, you must be hungry, otherwise you wouldn't eat like this."
The two of them ate two bowls of rice, and Li Long fried eggs and chopped meat. It's clean. He was also worried that Sun Jiaqiang would not eat enough and would cut it again, but Sun Jiaqiang waved it off. After all, I'm full now.
“What are you planning to do?” Li Long pointed at Sun Jiaqiang’s bag of caladiums and said, “Will we dig more in the future?”
“If I don’t, I won’t. "Sun Jiaqiang said, "Now that you have obtained this bear meat, when are you going to return it?"
"Afternoon." Li Long pointed to the meat that Sun Jiaqiang brought back and said, "Your meat has to be processed here, right? I plan to go back after processing."
"What is my meat? This is It's your meat." Sun Jiaqiang waved his hand, "What am I doing with this meat? It's useless. I just brought it back. I just had a meal. I also ate this meat just now. You can take care of it yourself."
Li Long didn't expect Sun Jiaqiang to think so. He was stunned for a moment. , shook his head and said:
“You can’t do this, I won’t do this. It's a good life."
"Okay, okay." Sun Jiaqiang waved his hand, "I can make money steadily this month and have a place to eat. I have to admit it to you. , there are almost no blind people like me who dig fritillaries within a radius of dozens of kilometers in the mountains. I haven't been caught by the forest rangers. If I catch them, all the fritillaries I dig in a day will be gone. Some people have even been caught several times. But what about me? The problem. Lao Huang’s craftsmanship and the fact that you deliver meat every day...”
"Didn't you also make friends with rice noodles?"
"Without you, would Lao Huang know who I am?" Sun Jiaqiang smiled, "Okay, don't go around, I have to take care of you for this Fritillaria. It costs money, but you can take the bear meat with peace of mind. I want to make you a friend, but I can’t just take advantage and say nothing, right? That’s not how I make friends.”
Okay. He had already said everything, and Li Long had nothing to say. He went to weigh the Fritillaria for Sun Jiaqiang, and then gave it to him at six yuan.
Sun Jiaqiang didn't show any pretense. After receiving the money, he leaned against the wall of the wooden house and said:
"You are good at processing meat, so I won't care about it. I will rest for a while and you can go." Let me know when you arrive and I’ll take your car down the mountain.”
Li Long nodded and went to process the meat.
Not only meat, but also internal organs.
"When I went there, the meat had not been chewed by anything. It was quite strange." Sun Jiaqiang closed his eyes and spoke.
"I met wild boars when I was walking, and later there were deer. Maybe the wild animals nearby knew that there were bears and didn't dare to go there." Li Long guessed.
The meat and internal organs were covered with a lot of grass, leaves, mud and other dirt. After Li Long washed them, he turned the stomach and intestines over and cooked them again.
Because I have to go back today, I can't wait until it's completely cooked before taking it out and putting it in a basin.
The rest of the meat can only be chopped up and burned in the pot in the house. Once the door is locked, it doesn't matter if someone leaves.
In the afternoon, Li Long drove a tractor, carrying four bear paws, a bear skin, a pot of burned bear meat and oil, and Sun Jiaqiang and the caladiums he had received in the past two days, and drove to the county. inside. (End of this chapter)
