It is said that Li Long didn't want to go out, so he just wanted to stay at home, his wife and children were warming up the kang, and then he fed Xiao Hei and two roe deer - but the roe deer was a little big and not that fun.
But when he was driven out of the door by Gu Xiaoxia, then drove a jeep to buy some daily necessities, and brought some food to the mountains, he was also in a happy mood, and even felt like he was leaving the cage.
Very contradictory feeling.
When he left the county town, he saw a watermelon stall in the west of the city, and he bought seven or eight large watermelons. If Sun Jiaqiang is still in the wooden house, he should miss Big Watermelon very much, right?
When the jeep passed by Qingshuihe Village, Li Long could see that many people were harvesting wheat in the wheat fields around the village, and several wheat stacks were piled on the wheat field in the village.
The battle hasn't started yet, and I can't hear the sound of a tractor or a horse-drawn roller.
Li Long did not stop, drove his jeep along the mountain pass and headed straight to the wooden house.
Now that Harim and the others are not back, Li Long plans to go directly to see if Sun Jiaqiang is there.
As we passed by the woods, the sound of the jeep alarmed several birds.
There was a little more noise in the originally quiet mountains.
A gray shadow rushed over to the left front of his vision and then penetrated into the woods.
Li Long held the steering wheel in his left hand, touched the rifle in the passenger seat with his right hand, and then let go of his hand.
Forget it, if you run too fast, that guy will definitely be gone if you go down by yourself.
This is a gray wolf, it seems to be not big, maybe it was the wolf cub from last year.
I didn’t expect that I hadn’t been in the mountains for more than a month, and the wild animals in the mountains were so unrestrained?
I wonder if Sun Jiaqiang will be in danger?
When Li Long arrived at the wooden house, he found that the door was locked.
However, the dried mushrooms dried on the case in front of the wooden house proved that he was still there, but it is highly likely that he went to pick mushrooms.
Li Long got out of the car and opened the door of the wooden house.
The main house is similar to when I left, and it can be seen that Sun Jiaqiang did not sleep here.
But two big pots are placed here. There was a fire in the stove, and a pot of water was burned on it, which was still hot.
But there is really nothing in the room. At least the steamed buns are gone, and there is only a shallow foundation left in the noodle pocket, and the rice is completely gone.
Li Long guessed that he would be two days later, and Sun Jiaqiang might be hungry.
However, there are still a lot of meat that has been boiled. It seems that Sun Jiaqiang is not very suitable for using this stir-frying dish to cook.
Of course, it is also possible that this guy is lazy and easy to save money and just keeps steamed buns and porridge every day.
Li Long opened the door of the small room again and found that there were several bags on the shelf inside.
Although it was not opened, Li Long could smell it, and the bag was filled with dried mushrooms.
There are morels, black tiger palm mushrooms, but the most common one is straw mushrooms.
I don’t know why Sun Jiaqiang wanted to pick up so many straw mushrooms. This thing is not worth much and it won’t be collected by the acquisition station.
Li Long looked at the shelf and found that the other supplies were almost consumed, only a few bags of tea and a bag of salt were left. There are no canned food and sugar cubes.
The bedding on the floor was not tidied up. I thought that when Sun Jiaqiang got up every day, he would go out for the whole breakfast and then go out to pick up mushrooms. These didn't need to be taken care of.
Li Long opened both doors to dissipate the smell.
Although it was still morning, Li Long did not plan to leave. He went nearby to find some wild celery and some artemisia, and then picked some straw mushrooms and came back, planning to make lunch.
I think Sun Jiaqiang hasn't cooked well for a long time, so Li Long planned to cook a good meal and then go to pick mushrooms in the afternoon.
Now is the high-yield season for Black Tiger Palm mushrooms. If you find a place, you can pick 100 kilograms in one afternoon - Li Long is sure.
If you have less than ten kilograms of drying one kilogram, you can earn a lot this day.
The main reason is that Li Long touched this mountainous area for two years and was so familiar with it.
He generally knows which piece is prone to producing black tiger palm bacteria.
Including morels.
Pick the things back, wash them at the spring, and then set up a stove outside to prepare for stir-frying.
The stove in the big wooden house was filled with charcoal, and Li Long prepared to stew rice.
When the food was good, before Sun Jiaqiang came back, Li Long ate it himself. After eating, he put the portion left for Sun Jiaqiang on the rack of the wooden house, pressed coal foam into the stove, and then drove around. And I went to the ditch on the other side of Yushan River.
The coal in the wooden house has been used almost all the time. Sun Jiaqiang got some wind-blowing wood and branches, and the branches are used to set up fire.
There are still coal foam in the furnace, but it can't be used anymore.
When Li Long was planning to pick mushrooms, he pulled two bags of coal back. Use it first, so that you can quickly accumulate a lot of coal by making two bags of coal every day.
There is no need to drive a tractor to come and pull it.
The open-pit coal mine is closer to the winter nest in Yushanjiang, so it is better to drive a car here.
Moreover, there are also several ditches nearby that contain many black tiger palm mushrooms, which are more convenient to collect.
The grass in some places began to change to yellow, and most of it was still green.
The places blocked by trees in the ravine were relatively cool. Li Long took the bag to the open-pit coal mine, took the iron shovel and shoveled the weathered coal, took out the large pieces that were easier to burn and put them into the bag.
After getting two bags of coal, seeing that there were still a lot left, Li Long put two more bags into the car, and then went to pick mushrooms with a gun on his back.
The most common black tiger palm fungus that Li Long discovered was mainly in the sparse pine forests on the northern slope of the mountain. In these places, pine trees are one in the east and one in the west, with many shrubs mixed in the middle.
The black tiger palm mushroom grows in the pine needles and moss.
Compared with morels, Black Tiger Palm is large and is particularly easy to find. You can see several at a glance, almost each of which is bigger than Li Long's palm.
After only finding a few places, the sack that Li Long brought was almost full.
He is still in the old tradition. He doesn't have roots when he picks black tiger palm mushrooms, and those with roots are broken.
In the past, he liked to cut the tiger palm mushroom into slices. Later, Chen Hongjun said that when he collected it, he would collect the whole dried flower, so Li Long put it directly into the sack.
Then cut the foods you eat into slices and use whole flowers for sale.
No delay.
Seeing that the sack was almost done, Li Long carried him to the jeep and then brought another sack over.
Before he knew it, two sacks of black tiger palm mushrooms were collected, and Li Long knew that he would have to go to other places tomorrow.
This thing does not grow as fast as morels. It will take a long time to grow another piece after picking this piece.
What made Li Long a little strange was that he had turned a lot here today, but he didn't even encounter a larger animal.
The main reason is that when he first entered the mountains, he encountered a young gray wolf, which made Li Long feel that there should be a lot of wild animals in the mountains, and maybe he could still catch one or two of them when picking mushrooms.
Unexpectedly, I didn't even touch any one.
This made him wonder whether he would go to the Hot Spring Gully or the Salt Mine Cave to try his luck before going down the mountain.
Of course, it would be best if you can meet nearby.
Li Long looked at the nearby mountains, put the sack on the jeep, and couldn't help but walk towards the steeper mountains.
He wondered if he had a chance. If he had good luck, it would be great if he could meet the North Goat.
He hadn't been active in the mountains for many days, and Li Long felt a little panting when he climbed the steep mountain, which made him feel that he still had to come to the mountains to do activities frequently.
Otherwise, the benefits of the decline in physical strength will not work.
Of course, he also knew that his physical strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people, but he didn't think that he was poor in physical strength. He just thought that the stronger the better.
Li Long climbed the steep mountain and found that the shape of the mountain opposite was a bit distinctive, with overlapping, but there were still many pine trees growing on the steep slope.
There are also some ancient trees that are probably very old, and some stumps are empty.
But the top of the mountain there is bald again, and you can see sand and stones. Occasionally, one or two pine trees climb to the ground add a little green.
Li Long was also very curious, so he went down the slope and walked over there.
Maybe there will be rewards.
As soon as he reached halfway through, Li Long faintly heard a shouting sound on the mountain.
The voice was quite far away, and Li Long heard two words: Help!
He immediately accelerated his climbing speed. When he was about to climb to the top of the mountain, he saw a figure rolling down from the top of the mountain, followed by a big bear!
The bear was two meters tall, which was a bit similar to the one he injured in summer. It had brown and black hair and thick flesh on his body. When he ran, he was like running waves, roaring while running.
It can be seen that if the man hadn't been rolling and climbing downhill and running fast, he would have pinched the man and eaten him! The distance between this man and the bear is less than 30 meters, but the bear is still cautious when going down the mountain and doesn't want to roll down, so the distance is still like this.
Otherwise, with the speed of this bear, this person would probably be finished.
Li Long was almost one hundred meters away from the bear. At this time, he didn't have time to run away. He found a rock and aimed at the bear with his gun.
This thing is too big and easy to find. Li Long aimed in advance and pulled the trigger:
"Bang! Bang!"
Two shots were shot, and the first shot hit the bear's belly. The second shot was empty, and the bear fell, and the bullet was empty.
The bear rolled down a few meters before being blocked by a stone, then quickly got up and ran away in other directions.
Obviously, this bear is not stupid. He knows that someone can hurt him in the distance, and his direction is also far away from Li Long.
Li Long hurriedly chased after him with his gun. When he passed by the man, he realized that the man was in his fifties, with a messy hair and a long beard. He had obviously been in the mountains for a while.
The man didn't say anything after seeing Li Long, but followed him instead.
It seems that he is not injured much, and I don’t know why he follows Li Long.
Seeing that the bear was about to climb to the top of the mountain, Li Long glanced at the gun, but unexpectedly the bear was quite smart. He rolled into the bushes as soon as he was short, and Li Long shot it empty.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Of course he was unwilling to give up, so he continued to run forward with his gun and soon arrived at the top of the mountain.
You can see the sparse pine forest opposite, and the bear is running in the pine forest. That shot didn't have much impact on it!
Li Long ran and chased after him. After chasing the forest, he found that he had lost his pursuit.
After leaving the forest, there is a shrub, and then there are some rocks.
Although Li Long could smell a faint smell of blood, there were more beasts nearby.
He found blood on the leaves of a shrub and walked in. Because he wanted to find a target, he moved slowly. When the shrub came out again and reached the pile of rocks, he gave up.
It's different from the last time I found the thief who stole things. Last time, Li Long was able to find the other party's place at the end.
This time, the bear seemed to have stronger endurance than him. He kept running and didn't have much blood on his body. Occasionally, a drop of it drips. I don't know if it will be dark if it will be found.
never mind.
When Li Long turned back, he looked at the bald mountain on the top.
He was surprised to find that there was a shadow of activity on it.
There is movement!
Li Long immediately turned in that direction.
Halfway through the run, I saw the man being chased by a bear. After seeing Li Long, the man's pace, which was already quite fast, immediately became staggering, and he shouted for help at Li Long as he walked:
"My little comrade, thank you for saving me. Can you please help me and take me out of the mountain?"
Li Long glanced at him, ignored him, and ran quickly towards Tushan.
He is not stupid. He saved people because he is kind, but this person obviously wants to take advantage of him.
He ran so fast just now that he could almost keep up with him. He didn't get hurt even if he chased him, which means that this person's legs and feet are better than ordinary people.
Still want to send yourself out of the mountain?
Come on.
Seeing that Li Long ignored him and went up the mountain, the man hurriedly waved:
"Little comrade, it's dangerous over there! There are bears and wolves on the mountain. It's not safe to go alone. Let's go down the mountain. I have food at the foot of the mountain. Don't run up..."
Li Long turned a deaf ear to his words and quickly climbed up the bald mountain.
After all, the man's strength and endurance were no better than Li Long. He fell further and lowered. Looking at Li Long's smaller and smaller back, he couldn't help but curse.
Li Long really didn't pay attention to such a weird thing. In his opinion, he did not ask this person to repay his life-saving grace. Instead, this person became more and more eager to lie to him. It would be better to stay away from such a person.
If it weren't for the discovery of Beishan Goat, if Li Long had a good personality now, it would be possible to beat him up.
Li Long finally arrived at the place where there was no grass growing.
Previously, because of vegetation, the mountain climbing was relatively smooth, so it was more troublesome to get here.
The gravel and sand falling from the top of the bald mountain can be half of it if you step on it, and gravel can enter the shoes from time to time, which is very troublesome.
Occasionally there is a place in front where weeds can grow in gravel, which is relatively easy to walk on.
The northern goats in front are a group with more than a dozen.
Li Long can see the longest horn, which should be more than twenty knots, and this sheep is already very old.
There are also half-large lambs and most of the young and strong ones with ten-section horns.
Those are the northern goats that are four or five years old or five or six years old, and they are the main force in this group of sheep.
These sheep were originally running and eating grass in the mountains, avoiding their old enemies, but they didn't expect to be chased by Li Long.
Their ability to survive here is because of this terrain. It is difficult for bears or wolves to enter, and it is difficult to walk when they come in.
The northern goats ran very agilely in the mountains, even if the gravel belts were not slow, and they soon ran to the top of the mountain farther away.
Li Long stopped fifty or sixty meters away from the group of northern goats.
He found that when he was about to climb up, he might have a landslide or something.
Even when you are moving up now, there are large tracts of gravel rolling down the mountain, which is very dangerous.
Fortunately, there are grass slopes at the foot of the mountain, then shrubs and finally pine forests, which can block a lot of gravel sand.
Otherwise, this mountain will collapse.
Li Long raised his gun and aimed at a young North Goat behind.
However, the northern goat might feel the danger, and suddenly jumped hard, rushed to the front in a few strokes, and turned to the other side of the mountain with the other northern goats, disappearing from Li Long's vision.
Li Long was a little unwilling to accept it. He waited for a while but didn't see them appear. It seemed unrealistic to climb up. He surrounded the mountain and wanted to find a place that could block the vision of these northern goats.
Since I saw groups of northern goats, I was really unwilling to accept it if I didn’t take one.
Also try what's good about this hanging sheep.
Thanks for walking in the gravel, Li Long looked up while walking. He even saw that there seemed to be a few snow lotus growing in the pile of gravels that were almost reaching the top of the mountain.
The place where this snow lotus grows is quite good, and ordinary people can't pick it even if they want to.
The feet are deep and shallow, and from time to time, I have to stop and pour out the sand and gravel in my shoes.
That is, he was wearing high-waisted rubber shoes, otherwise the soles of the shoes would probably be covered with sand at this time.
Continue to move forward, Li Long passed two pine trees and vaguely saw a jumping figure on the top of the mountain. He accelerated the speed of turning.
Li Long accelerated his speed. He was afraid that the northern goats would go around him, and the main reason was that the mountain climbed was anxious.
After he stepped on it, a large piece of gravel fell to the mountain, and sometimes it could even cause a piece of rock to roll down.
Li Long no longer cared about these things. Anyway, the stones on the top of the mountain have been weathered and will eventually fall over time, not at this point.
Finally, he walked more than a hundred meters and came to the other side of the hillside.
Then I saw most of the northern goats climbing to the top. Now Li Long guessed that the top of the mountain was flat and that those northern goats could not be seen after they went up.
However, it is not easy to get from their uphill place to the top of the mountain, and it is steeper than the one at Li Long Station. These northern goats run up one by one, and some of them do not master the position well, and they will slide down if they jump up.
Li Long immediately aimed at the one on the back: This was just a young and strong person.
It was only seventy or eighty meters away from the northern goat here, and Li Long was sure to hit it with one shot.
"Bang!"
When Li Long shot, a white shadow flashed from behind the North Goat, and was then pushed by Li Long with a bang.
Li Long could see clearly that it was a half-large little northern goat. The place where the little north goat settled was not smooth, and it seemed to roll down there.
The northern goats that had not yet jumped on the ground exploded directly. Two of them jumped up desperately, while the others jumped to the opposite side!
"Bang!" Li Long shot again, and a three or four-year-old adult sheep jumped up was shot and then rolled down.
Li Long hurriedly climbed up, but after a few steps, the large area of rocks under his feet, including the ones above, were also falling. He had to dodge to the side and continue to go around.
Although it's troublesome, it has to be done.
Hope it's time! (This chapter ends)
