Chapter 42 Hunting in the mountains
Li Weidong was carrying a bag and followed the penultimate one, looking at the second uncle who was carrying a gun in front of him, a little envious.

In his bag was the flour + stick noodle steamed buns that his second aunt steamed overnight, which was the lunch for the five of them.

He knew two of them, at least in the memory of the original owner.

Alone, a little strange.

The other party's name is Li Zhankui. Like the second uncle, he is a demobilized soldier. He has just been back for a few days. He is 22 years old this year.

Judging from the appearance alone, the other party is slightly shorter than him, with dark skin, a short shaved head, bright eyes, and a fierce look.

And along the way, he hardly said anything, just followed silently at the end, patrolling with his eyes fixed.

In the mountains in early winter, all the vegetation is withered, and you can see far away at a glance.

Earlier, when Li Weidong saw the wild orchard halfway up the mountain, he was a little moved.

Although only one field has been reclaimed in his game farm, it has not been fully planted yet, so he plans to plant something else.

Fruit is the first choice.

The memory of the wild orchard was retrieved from the head of the original owner, including apples, walnuts, persimmons, chestnuts, dates, pear trees and peach trees.

Although it has not been cultivated and the fruit it bears is a bit astringent, it is still a paradise for the children of the whole village.

Every year when the fruit trees just bloom, I don't know how many children start to look forward to it.

It can be said to be hopeless.

Therefore, when he saw the wild orchard just now, Li Weidong had some ideas. When he was looking for a place where no one was around, he would secretly dig a few smaller saplings by himself.

It won't be long before he can eat fruit.

In the market today, unless it is some local fruit, you can still taste it when it first comes down.

Like the ones in the south, basically you can only think about it, or canned food.

Especially canned oranges are a great gift for visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year.

According to Li Weidong's plan, in the future, in addition to all kinds of food, an orchard will be built in the game farm, where fruits of all seasons can be eaten at any time.

It's just that at present, he hasn't even fully utilized the first square, and he doesn't have the slightest clue how to cultivate new fields.

Even, he sometimes wonders, is it possible to use energy to transform the fields in the game farm?
For example, ponds can raise fish, cockroaches, abalones, sea cucumbers, crabs, shrimps and other aquatic products?
Or, convert it into a pasture and raise meat-eating animals such as chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep.

It will really be at that time that I will be self-sufficient, and I will live happily ever after.

Thinking about it, Li Weidong drooled a little.

It seems that if you want to lie down completely, you have to struggle for a while.

After returning to work, first study how to improve the efficiency of energy absorption.

After all, energy is the root of everything.

After entering the mountain, Li Weidong followed obediently without expressing any opinions.

Hunting should be left to professionals.

If you let him set up a rabbit, then there is no problem with the designation. How many children who grew up in the countryside have never done this?
But it was his first time to fight a wild boar.

This thing, if you don't have a gun, there's really nothing you can do with it.

That thick skin is useless even if you use a machete.

Moreover, the wild boar is full of viciousness. After you provoke it, it will be real. After a few collisions, you will only have to lie on the bed for the rest of your life.

It is precisely because of this that only after Li Shuquan organized the village and brought a gun can he shoot wild boars.

The reason why wild boars are hunted every year is not only to add a bowl of meat to each household, but also because wild boars are easy to flood if there is no limit.

At that time, one big one will lead seven or eight small ones, and they will be able to clean up the crops in the field overnight.

Wild boars are guilty when food is so scarce.

Not only wild boars, but also sparrows here are one of the four famous pests, so we must try our best to kill them.

I'm afraid they never even dreamed that after decades, they would transform themselves into protected animals.

The big guy was walking, suddenly, the second uncle in front raised his hand, and the small team immediately turned from movement to silence.

In the end, Li Zhankui unloaded the gun from his shoulder immediately.

There are only two guns in the entire team.

The second uncle took one shot, and Li Zhankui took one.

Both of them have experience as soldiers, and their marksmanship is far from that of Ye Luzi's background.

Before ordinary people are fed with a large number of bullets, it is better not to take a gun for hunting.

Li Weidong followed the direction of his second uncle's finger and saw a pheasant standing vigilantly on a hillside 30 meters away.

A posture that is about to fly away at any time.

"I come."

Li Haibo threw the steel rod to the ground, and then took out a slingshot made from a truck inner tube from his pocket.

As the number one slingshot in the village, the stones used by Li Haibo are all carefully selected and polished by the river.

As for the quasi-head...

It can be said that if you set up a chopstick 20 meters away, you can break it wherever you say.

The beautiful daughter-in-law in his family was lured home by relying on him to hunt sparrows and turtledoves whenever he had nothing to do.

Now that the pheasant has been discovered, it is naturally time for him to show his talents.

Li Weidong has also played with a slingshot, but it's a bit horrible to be accurate.

Li Haibo took a deep breath, exerted strength with his arms, and the tough belt was pulled away.

Li Weidong didn't even see him aiming, so he let go of his hand.

The round stone pierced through the void, and hit the head at the moment when the pheasant sensed danger and was about to flap its wings.

"Flickering."

Although the pheasant was hit on the head, it was not killed immediately, but fell to the ground and struggled.

Then Li Haibo stepped forward quickly, stepped on the pheasant, took out a small knife from his pocket, aimed at the pheasant's neck, and slashed across the pheasant's neck, and began to bleed.

The pheasant looks big, but in fact it doesn't weigh much, only about two catties.

But enough to satisfy the whole family.

"Yes, this pheasant is quite fat, let's roast it for lunch."

Li Haibo touched the pheasant, and smiled.

Although this hunting was organized by Li Shuquan, he had already said that the prey he hunted belonged to him.

But Li Haibo has always been proud, and after he hits something, he will often share it.

So his popularity in the village has always been very good.

Although there are some people who bitterly criticize him and call him stupid, in fact, this is where he is smart.

After all, in this era of collectives, every needle and thread may be a big problem.

"It's delicious."

"Did you bring salt?"

"Don't worry, when you go into the mountains without salt?"

Immediately, the two started discussing.

"Okay, find the wild boars first, and go to my house when you get back. There are good things."

Li Shuquan greeted them, and everyone continued to move forward.

It wasn't until we came to a col that we slowed down.

And not far away, you can also see a pool with a stream flowing.

"Looks like I'm lucky today."

Li Shuquan looked around, came to a place where there was excrement, squatted down, and fiddled with a wooden stick.
