Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 51

Lu Lu didn't know how much sensation he had caused in Xiushan Village when he hacked to death a bear.

I had breakfast early, lit a firewood in the open space in front of the cellar, and while warming up the fire, shoveled the thick grease on the bear's hide with a blunt knife.

The bear skin is too big and the grease is thick, unlike greyhound skin and rabbit skin, which can be done with just a few strokes.

It is definitely hard work to shovel grease for bear skin.

After more than an hour of continuous shoveling, only half of the grease on the bear skin was shoveled off.

He began to miss the high-pressure water guns of later generations. It only takes a few minutes to use that thing to wash off the oily skin.

By the way, he also baked the six birch bee barrels he had made by the fire, hoping they would dry quickly.

Many plants and trees in the mountains have gradually bloomed, and the black bees are gathering pollen and nectar with all their strength, and they are vigorously multiplying. Around June, when the swarm is large enough, they will divide the bees.

The black bee swarms are huge, and they can separate several nests at a time. They go to the mountains to look for them, get some back to raise, and sell the honey harvested every year, which can also earn a lot of income.

Moreover, honey is a good thing for health. Drinking some honey water often is very good for your body.

After all, he had experienced it in his previous life, and Lu Lu knew very well that it is better to take care of health preservation as early as possible, and spend too much money on treatment when he has a serious physical problem, and it is too late.

The honey raised by oneself is safe to eat, unlike the later generations, which are full of technology and hard work.

Especially in such a big mountain, where the cold time is too long, the body is prone to suffering from rheumatism, gout and other torture diseases. When I was young, I didn't feel good. When I got older, I would suffer if I broke out.

It's also good to get a bee sting from time to time, as bee venom has preventive and therapeutic properties for such diseases.

There are many linden trees in the mountains, as well as various flowers and trees that can bloom. It is no problem to set up a small bee farm around this cellar and raise dozens of bees.

After working for more than an hour, he finally cleaned out the whole bear skin. After rinsing with clean water, he nailed a frame to stretch it, and put it in the fairy column to dry. In order to make it dry faster, he also gave birth to a small bear skin inside Fire adds some heat.

This bear skin is not as fragmentary as greyhound skin or rabbit skin. A bear skin can sell for two or three hundred, which is not a small amount, so it must be dried and stored as soon as possible.

As for bear bile, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

After all, he and Yuan Bao couldn't stay here all the time, they had to go up the mountain.

People and dogs are not there, so I can't rest assured.

Seeing that it was still early, Lu Lu went to the hillside behind the cellar again, picked a straight and thick birch tree and brought it down. While repairing the branches with a big axe, Yuan Bao suddenly made a sound.

Lu Lu raised his head to look at Yuan Bao, and seeing it barking towards the path leading to the main road, he knew that someone was coming.

Not long after, two people walked up the path, and Lu Lu suddenly laughed.

It was Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu who were carrying baskets.

"Brother Li..."

Seeing Lu Lu on the hillside behind the cellar, the brothers and sisters immediately shouted with a smile.

Chen Xiuyu even stepped on the stepping stone in the middle of the river and ran over.

Yuan Bao screamed fiercely.

Fearing that she would be bitten by a dog, Chen Xiuqing wanted to stretch out his hand to pull her, but he couldn't. He kept watching her go, Yuan Bao didn't seem to see Chen Xiuyu, and didn't seem to step forward to bite her, so he was slightly relieved.

Yuan Bao didn't target Chen Xiuyu, he was defending himself!

On the contrary, Chen Xiuqing didn't dare to approach, and stood obediently by the small river.

Lu Lu picked up the ax and saw and ran down quickly, went to Yuan Bao's side, and patted its head lightly: "Yuan Bao, don't bite it, it's my own."

Yuan Bao stopped barking, and even the three puppies who followed along to join in the fun also stopped.

Seeing this, Lu Lu waved at Chen Xiuqing: "Come here!"

Chen Xiuqing crossed the river carefully, without saying a word, looked Lu Lu up and down for a while before asking: "Brother Lu, when you killed Xiongba, were you frightened?"

Lu Lu saw the rare concern in his eyes, and said with a smile: "In the beginning, I was really scared. Later, Xiong Ba was dragged by Yuan Bao, so I could have taken the opportunity to run away, but in order to save the three puppies , I went back to kill the bear by myself. After killing the bear, I got a good night's sleep and I'm fine."

Hearing what Lu Lu said, Chen Xiuqing was relieved.

He was frightened, but he turned back to save the pup, which meant that Lu Lu had already come out of the fright at that time.As for the sleep, it was purely due to the exhaustion of the mind.

When encountering Xiong Ba, he turned back with an ax for the sake of the pup, this is extraordinary courage.

Many experienced hunters may not be able to do this when encountering such a situation.

But, for three puppies, is it worth it?
Chen Xiuqing looked at the four Yuan Baoniang who sniffed at herself, and then went back to the kennel and crawled to sleep, her eyes soon lit up.

Needless to say, Yuan Bao was already the best head dog in Xiushantun.

As for the three puppies, judging from their body size and various external characteristics, they were all excellent youngsters.

Such a dog, as long as it is dragged well, will be a great help to hunting.

Others can't find good dogs, but Lu Lu has four of them here. This luck is so enviable.

Presumably Lu Lu is also a person who understands and loves dogs, otherwise, he would not have faced such a life-and-death crisis to do something that can only be called stupid by others.

"Come and sit in my cellar."

Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuqing's brother and sister, and beckoned them to enter the cellar.

After dragging the birch stump to invite them to sit down, Lu Lu took out a thermos and made tea for the two of them: "Why are you here?"

"I'm just here to take a look!"

Chen Xiuqing smiled honestly, looked around in the basement, and finally fell on the neatly folded quilt on the bed, thinking in her heart: It's just as the girl said, and it's done too well.

Chen Xiuyu blushed and said, "I... I just came here to pick the thorn buds." She was a little insincere.

"Sister, you know that I like to eat prickly sprouts, but you still come to my site to pick them, that's outrageous!" Lu Lu laughed.

"There are so many on the mountain, you can't eat them all by yourself. Also, when did this place become your territory?" Chen Xiuyu was provoked by Lu Lu, and opened her mouth: "Don't ask our people in Xiushantun to answer. No promise."

"Uh... makes sense!"

Lu Lu nodded in recognition, the key is that in front of Chen Xiuqing, there are some things that cannot be said, and it is difficult to say them.

Chen Xiuqing smiled slightly: "Brother Lu, when we first arrived, we saw you cutting trees on the mountain behind, what were you doing?"

"Last time when you were hurt by the river, there was a swarm of bees on the linden tree. I want to get it to raise it." Lu Lu said.

Chen Xiuqing asked in surprise, "Do you know how to keep bees?"

"It's not particularly proficient, but some simple basic operations are still fine." Lu Lu is actually quite confident in this point.

As long as you understand the temper of bees, bees are still very docile.

"It just so happens that I also know a few beehives on the mountain, and I want to raise them, but I have never dared to provoke them. For me, it is much more troublesome than hunting. I even took out honey once last year. The honey was not taken out, and people were killed by bees. After lying at home for two days, I had many bumps on my body, which were hot and itchy...

After a few more days, my injury will heal better, and I will take you to take it back and raise it. "

When Chen Xiuqing mentioned this incident, she still had lingering fears.

But Lu Lu knew very well that he was allergic to bee venom after being stung by a bee.

"It seems that I need to prepare some beehives."

Lu Lu laughed.

He seems to have seen his own small bee farm, the lively scene of buzzing bees.
