Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 215 Deer Trace
"One more night, if it still doesn't work, let's go back!"

Lu Lu was a little unwilling, but he also knew that it was not an option to just keep guarding this salt nest.

Fortunately, every afternoon, the two of them went out to hunt small animals in the mountains and forests. Greyhound, Tiaomaozi and Huangpizi all killed some, so it was not an empty run.

The two returned to the Immortal Pillar and stayed up for another night. They were so sleepy that they didn't even bother to eat. After getting into the Immortal Pillar, they fell asleep.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Lu was woken up by the heat.

The scorching sun shone in from the gap on the top of the Immortal Pillar and landed on Lu Lu's sleeping position, making his whole head covered in sweat.

Turning over and sitting up, he only felt dizzy and fainted from the sun, so he hurried out of the fairy pillar, washed his face with cold water in the ditch next to the meadow, and sat under the shade of a tree for a long time before he gradually recovered.

Looking up at the sky, although the sky is clear and cloudless, there is a feeling of drowsiness.

There is no mountain wind at all. I feel that under the hot sun, even the trees are drooping their leaves, looking a little listless, and the cicada monkeys that have quietly shed their shells in the mountains also start to cry hysterically, as if they feel that the sweltering heat is not enough. fidgety.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain!"

Lu Lu hesitated whether to wake up Chen Xiuqing and return to Xiushantun.

If it rains heavily, the salt nests set up will be useless, and it will be especially difficult in the mountains.

But on second thought, when the weather gets hot and the deer sweat profusely, it is also the time when they most need salt supplementation... Anyway, after waiting for so many days, so what if I waited another night.

Moreover, this time I go back, I miss this great moonlight, and if I want to come, I'm afraid I have to wait until next month.

After he had almost rested, Lu Lu went back and glanced at Chen Xiuqing, seeing that he was still sleeping in the dark, so he didn't bother him. He himself was completely sleepless, so he simply picked up a Type [-] or Type [-] semi-automatic rifle and left Yuan Baoniang and the four of them in the room. Guard Chen Xiuqing here, and wander outside in the woods.

Yuanbao was not brought out, Lu Lu walked very carefully, searched in the forest for almost two hours, Greyhound was not seen, Tiaomaozi hit two, and the meat that will go back to eat later is no problem.

Just when Lu Lu was about to turn back around, unexpectedly, on the wet soil beside the ditch, he saw the footprints of several sika deer moving, which was very fresh.

He couldn't help being overjoyed, so he followed them and walked around the forest for a while, only to find that the herd of deer was going in the direction of the destroyed Yanwozi.

After following carefully for a while, Lu Lu was on the hillside in the forest, and he saw the herd of deer appearing next to the salt nest. He sniffed around for a while, and occasionally licked the poplar, and soon returned without interest. Go to the shady place in the ditch, and wander along the ditch while eating grass and leaves.

Lu Lu saw clearly from the opposite side, there were nine deer in this herd, four big and four small, and one half-big one.

Except during the rutting season, male deer will come to join the herd. Most of the time, they usually move alone.

Therefore, in the herd of deer that Lu Lu saw, the big ones were all does, and the rest were cubs of two or three months old.

The half-sized one was probably less than a year old.

Hitting the doe at this time is actually not cost-effective, as there are no most valuable deer fetuses.

Moreover, with one shot, only one can be hit, and the others are scattered and fleeing. It will be difficult to catch up, and the gain outweighs the loss.

They are all good deer. If they can be captured and raised, the herd of deer in Meadow will almost be up next year.

Lu Lu waited patiently, observing their movements. He saw that they were looking for saline-alkali land, and he knew that they were the same group of deer that had been to the salt nests where fences and hunting nets had been set up in this area. .

Although it is several miles away from the salt nest, but judging by the current situation, there is a high probability that they will find it.

Lu Lu waited for more than half an hour, and finally saw that they turned towards the valley with Yanwozi.

"It seems that whether there is any gain or not depends on today's night."

Lu Lu looked up at the sky, frowning slightly: "Don't let it rain!"

Then he got up and returned quickly.

I have to go back quickly to fill my stomach and prepare to squat.

I hurried all the way, and when I got back to the temporary fairy pillar, I saw Chen Xiuqing peeing at the foot of a red pine.

Suddenly hearing a noise behind him, he was so frightened that he couldn't help shivering, turned around hastily, looked at the place where the noise came from with a terrified expression, and was relieved to find that it was Lu Lu who was running out.

"Brother Lu...it's you, you scared me to death!"

Chen Xiuqing patted her chest, turned around and continued the interrupted urination, and waited for about a minute before it started to go smoothly again.

Lu Lu didn't care about him, got into the fairy pillar and put down the gun, and started to look for firewood on the hillside, preparing to cook firewood.

Chen Xiuqing finally finished the work, and followed Lu Lu to the forest to collect firewood: "Brother Lu, where have you been? I just woke up, and I couldn't even see you."

"I just woke up... I had a good rest. It's time for you to work hard at night."

Lu Lu secretly sighed, how could he not be so lucky, he can eat and sleep...

"Contribute..." Chen Xiuqing was a little puzzled.

"I went out and walked around just now, and I saw the herd of deer, coming towards the salt nest we are guarding. Whether we can get caught or not depends on tonight...Hurry up and make food, eat and go early Watch!"

Lu Lu was busy checking, and by the way, he used an ax to cut some bright seeds under a rotten red pine stake, preparing to use them to light the fire.

Hearing that the deer was coming, Chen Xiuqing suddenly became excited: "Brother Lu... How many are there?"

"Nine!"

"so much?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

Chen Xiuqing suppressed her excitement and was busy collecting firewood.

Afraid of wasting time, Lu Lu didn't plan to make roasted rabbit meat. He just wanted to use the few remaining steamed buns to fill his stomach, but he didn't need much firewood.

Over the past few days, mold spots have begun to appear on the top of the steamed buns, so don't bake them with fire, for fear of spoiling your stomach.

Gather the fire and bake!
It didn't take long, the surface of the steamed bun covered by the wooden stick was baked to a crispy yellow color, and the sour smell became much lighter, at least not that smelly.

After eating two steamed buns indiscriminately, Lu Lu went to the ditch in Caodianzi and drank some water from the ditch.

I could clearly feel that the steamed buns I ate in my stomach continued to swell under the soaking in the cold water, and soon, my stomach, which I felt lacking just now, suddenly became solid.

This is why Lu Lu likes steamed buns.

Chen Xiuqing only ate three steamed buns, and her movements were no slower than Lu Lu's. After eating, she went to the ditch to drink cold water full of satisfaction.

"Let's go!"

Lu Lv greeted, and left Yuan Baoniang and the four at Xianrenzhu, took a hunting bag and a shotgun, and rushed towards Yanwozi.

When they arrived at the place, the two squatted down in the old place.

Night fell quietly...
