Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 268 Forest Fragrant Concubine
This is a musk deer, and it is a male musk deer.

Musk deer, a small musk deer that is rare in the Northeast, the pair of zombie teeth are a sign of male identification, and they are sharp weapons for courtship and fighting. They are ten centimeters long, like tusks.

However, such teeth are not a threat to carnivores.

The one Lu Lu saw was dark brown all over, and there were two relatively wide white lines from the neck to the armpit.

He immediately recognized that this was Lin Musk, who was famous for having a forest concubine.

Yes, the male musk deer is crowned with the name Xiangfei, because the male produces musk.

It is the smallest of several musk-producing musk deer animals, weighing less than ten kilograms.

Although the musk deer is small, it is quite agile, and can even jump directly on the tree to eat leaves.

The unique structure of the hoof shell allows them to walk freely on the branches, and it is also one of the ways to avoid the pursuit of prey.

Forest musk deer produces musk, and it is the one with the highest musk yield and the best quality among musk-producing animals.

In addition, there is a musk deer that produces musk in the wilderness, and there is also a species called the original musk deer, which is also distributed in a small amount in Xiaoxing'an Mountains. Lu Lu has never seen it in this mountain for such a long time. The biggest difference from the forest musk deer is that it has a whole body The fur is black.

Musk is not only a high-grade spice, but also a precious traditional Chinese medicine.

As a former buyer of mountain goods, Lu Lu knew a lot about this stuff.

That is something that can be sold for a gram that is higher than the price of gold of the same weight. This alone is enough to attract Lu Lu's attention, standard soft gold.

And the amount of musk that a forest musk deer can produce is about [-] grams.

After a few years, the benefits are considerable.

Since ancient times, people usually used the method of killing musk musk deer for incense. What I learned from Lu Law Firm was that in the 80s, after the reform and opening up, forest musk deer were hunted and killed in large numbers for incense, and they were turned into protected animals.

But when he came to Lu Lu's place, he knew that he could directly extract incense from their sachets without harming their lives.

If you get it back and keep it, it will be a steady stream of wealth, which is much better than killing it with a single shot.

With such a large area in the meadow, it would be quite good to raise some forest musk deer.

Otherwise, wouldn't the two-meter-high fence be a bit of a waste.

This is one of Lu Lu's plans to breed.

Lu Lu shrugged his nose, searching for the scent left by Lin Musk when he ran just now, and turned around to check.

He was not at all worried that the deer would run away, because he knew a lot about it, and Lu Lu also knew its living habits.

The male roe deer lives alone and seems to be wandering around in the forest, but in fact the range of activities is very stable, and the route of going out every day is also relatively fixed. The most fixed is probably its hut.

They are always used to defecate in the same place, with a radius of no more than one square meter.

Moreover, even if you are frightened and chased away, there is a high probability that you will return to the place where you used to live.

With this feature, it is not too easy to catch them.

In fact, in Lu Lu's view, roe deer and musk deer have many similarities in this regard.

They are used to living in the environment they are familiar with.

Lu Lu turned around carefully, expanding the search area round and round. After more than 20 minutes, he saw the musk deer behind another Shilazi more than ten meters away from the Shilazi where the musk deer stayed. Fecal pellets similar to sheep manure but much smaller.

"It seems that when I find Master and return, I will go to this fragrant deer, and I have to come from here."

Lu Lu smiled slightly, and said to himself, "I have to find a chance to catch more."

After carefully observing the terrain and making sure to remember the location, Lu Lu turned around and returned to Caodianzi.

Still far away from the temporary camp, Yuan Bao and other five dogs ran over early, jumping up and down around Lu Lu.

"I can't help it, I didn't get anything today, you guys don't even think about eating meat tonight, just make do with it!"

Lu Lu bent down, rubbed each of the dogs' heads, and led them all the way back.

When we got to the tent, we saw that millet porridge had been boiled in the hanging pot on the firewood outside, and Chen Xiuqing also made seven or eight steamed buns, wrapped them on sticks, and roasted them diagonally by the fire.

Lu Lu opened the tent and took a look, and found that some branches and leaves had been brought to the tent for bedding, and some pine needles were spread on it, and Chen Xiuqing was squatting in a horse-step with her trousers bagged, leaning next to the lit Mingzi , rubbing his swollen thighs with lotion.

This kid is quite busy, even the bed for sleeping at night has been paved.

"How is it? Can you still take it?" Lu Lu glanced at his red and swollen legs and asked.

Chen Xiuqing raised her head and forced a smile at Lu Lu: "No problem, after tonight is over, come together tomorrow morning, still alive and kicking...Brother Lu, did you hit anything?"

"I didn't get anything! I can only make do with it tonight!"

Living in Chen Xiuqing's mouth, Lu Lu didn't tell him about the discovery of the musk deer, so don't say "If you don't catch it now, will you be eaten by something?"

"The porridge is ready, and the steamed buns are almost baked. Brother Lu, you eat first, and I'll come as soon as I finish applying the medicine!"

Chen Xiuqing didn't find it strange that he didn't catch any prey.

It is normal for a hunter to go up the mountain and not be able to find prey, not to mention that Lu Lu didn't go there for long.

Lu Lu didn't say much, he got out of the tent, took a wooden bowl from the hunting bag, scooped up the porridge, drank a mouthful of porridge and ate a mouthful of steamed buns, and after a while, Chen Xiuqing came out with the medicine.

"Go to bed early after eating, get up early tomorrow morning, and take advantage of the coolness in the morning, let's drive a little longer!"

He preliminarily estimated that at today's speed, he has traveled [-] to [-] kilometers. If tomorrow is earlier, he should be able to turn from Tangwang to the direction of Jiayin River, stay in the mountains for one night, and be able to go early in the morning of the third day. Arrive at Ulaga.

"Okay!" Chen Xiuqing nodded in response.

The two filled their stomachs, and each took some oil cakes they had with them to feed the horses. After feeding a few dogs, they got into the tent and fell asleep early.

Chen Xiuqing almost fell asleep after lying down, but Lu Lu was tossing and turning, always worried about Chen Xiuyu at home, wondering how she was doing now.

In the woodcut hall, two girls, Wang Yan and Pu Guiying, were left behind by Chen Xiuyu. After eating and cleaning the kang mats, Chen Xiuyu went to the master bedroom and took the bedding and blankets out.

The three laughed and put the big kang table aside and began to make the bed.

Wang Yan often comes to Caodianzi, and Wang Dalong led others to build this woodcut, she has long been familiar with it, and now she is no stranger to it except envy.

Pu Guiying is different.

She only met Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu when they moved into their new house, when they came to help prepare meals and greet guests. At that time, she was more admiring the exquisite appearance of this wooden carving from the outside, and she also walked around inside the house, but people People coming and going are completely different senses from what they see now.

She took a good look at almost every room in the house, especially after seeing the most warm and comfortable master bedroom, she was even more amazed.

She never thought that the room could be made so pleasing to the eye, let alone living in it, even just looking at it would make her feel comfortable.

Obviously, Chen Xiuyu would not lead them into the master bedroom, otherwise she would not have run to the big kang to lay bedding.

In fact, in Chen Xiuyu's heart, the master bedroom belonged to her and Lu Lu alone, and she really didn't want anyone else to live in it.

"Today is okay. The mushrooms we picked up were sent to the district to sell. Each of us can get more than one yuan, and there are still a lot of them left to wash and dry to eat in winter. It would be great if we did this every day, a month Come down, we can earn a lot, let's go into the mountain tomorrow and see if we can pick up some more. Go to bed early!"

After the bed was made, Chen Xiuyu greeted the two of them to get on the kang, and she quickly got in and lay down.

The mushrooms I picked up today were carried by Zhou Cuifen and Zhao Meiling to the district on a small train, and the price was much higher than that of wild vegetables.

When Zhou Cuifen came back, she went to Caodianzi to talk to Chen Xiuyu.

Earning more than one yuan a day, the three girls stayed in the meadow to clean the bad-looking mushrooms that were not sold, and they all looked very excited.

"People are picking mushrooms everywhere on the mountain. If it doesn't rain these days, it will only decrease, unless you go deeper into the mountains." Pu Guiying said.

"Yes, ask Zhou Cuifen and my mother tomorrow, or we can go deeper into the mountains, so we can pick up more." Ma Cui also said.

"That won't work, let's just look around in these familiar places nearby."

Chen Xiuyu shook her head decisively.

"why?"

Pu Guiying asked puzzledly.

"There are so many of us, what are we afraid of!" Wang Yan

"Yanzi, you haven't forgotten the last time you and your mother picked wild vegetables from the mountains and met wild boars in Chuzigou, right?"

Chen Xiuyu looked at Wang Yan: "Anyway, I listen to Brother Lu, not to go further into the mountains. If you all decide to go, I'd rather not go. I don't want Brother Lu to worry, I promised him."

Chuzigou is not far from Caodianzi, and it only takes more than half an hour to walk down. It is also a place where people often go, and terrible things will happen.

In fact, in the eyes of the people in the district, the location of Xiushantun already belonged to the deep mountain range.

This is also the reason why there are more animals around.

"That's not going to go..."

Hearing Chen Xiuyu mention this matter, Wang Yan also shook her head with horror on her face.

"Mushrooms are growing every night. As long as we enter the mountain earlier, we can still get the best mushrooms! It's just a matter of walking more places."

Chen Xiuyu is well aware of the characteristics of mushrooms.

The air is warm and humid at night, and the humidity is much heavier. It is indeed a good time for mushrooms to grow. I picked them up in the same place and went the next day, and there were still them.

There is really no need to go further into the mountains, it means danger.

"Sister Yu, you talk about brother Lv and shut up about brother Lv. Married people are different."

But Pu Guiying said jokingly: "Tell us quickly, what does Mrs. Zhou mean when she said that the legs are almost like bows and forks?"

Chen Xiuyu rolled her eyes at her, clasped her fingers and tapped on Pu Guiying's forehead: "You'll find someone to marry sooner and you'll know... Go to bed, you have to get up early tomorrow."

The three of them stopped talking.

The three lynx cubs wandered around the house for a while, probably feeling comfortable on the kang, jumped onto the big kang one after another, meowing, and then ran to the feet of the three and lay down together. I can eat more and more.

The two greyhounds that Chen Xiuyu had caught on the mountain were skinned and fed to them, and she even went to the beard cage to fetch a few more small fish, and finally fed them.

Now, they are not afraid of people at all, and they especially like to follow Chen Xiuyu everywhere, but others don't let them get close.

In the morning, Zhou Cuifen wanted to take a look, but two of them ran away, and one of them was a lightning-fast paw, leaving three burning red marks on Zhou Cuifen's hands.

It's getting fiercer!
After lying down for a while, none of the three fell asleep.

Looking up at the varnished roof that was evenly laid on the top, the lights of the horse lanterns flickering, and smelling the faint scent of pine wood in the house, Pu Guiying suddenly said: "It would be great if I could live in this kind of big house in the future. Yu Sister... turn off the light, it will be fine if you can't see it."

"Don't turn it off, I saved this lamp for Brother Lu!"

Chen Xiuyu turned her head to look at the lantern on the kang table, with a slight smile on her face.
