Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 82 It's All Good Things

A full-fed hunting dog will have greatly reduced mobility.

This point, Lu Lu is very clear.

Just like people, after eating and exercising strenuously, it is easy to have a stomachache.

Anyway, it was already dark, Lu Lu was not in a hurry, and led the four of Yuan Baoniang to walk slowly in the woods, not in a hurry, nor in a hurry.

Bringing ingots and them has only one purpose: to warn.

With a keen sense of smell and excellent hearing, they can always detect potential dangers and abnormalities in distant places, and sound warnings in advance.

The moon is beautiful tonight, as bright as jade.

The watery moonlight pours down, through the trees, and sprinkles a patch of mottled, even without a lantern, the path can be identified.

Lu Lu kept carrying the lantern, although the light of the fire may seem weak, but it can scare many wild animals.

The entire forest was very quiet, and all Lu Lu could hear were the clattering of leaves as he walked, the swishing of dead grass branches and leaves, and the beating of his own heart.

But in fact, under this tranquility, what is hidden is a different kind of excitement.

The sound of flapping wings of a big bird suddenly flying up from a branch, and the shrill and terrifying cry of a night owl suddenly come from the night sky, which can always make people's hair stand on end.

A small animal fleeing in a certain bush or a tree branch can also cause the four of Yuan Baoniang to whine fiercely.

However, Lu Lu did not issue an order to arrest, and the four Yuan Baoniang followed quietly.

Occasionally, Yuan Bao would bark wildly at a certain place, and Lu Lu immediately stopped, holding his gun carefully for a while, until Yuan Bao stopped barking.

I don't know what kind of big beast it noticed.

This road, in fact, is a bit frightening.

The night road in the mountains and forests, even with Lu Lu's disposition, was a little trembling.

Night is a good time for many nocturnal wild animals to be active, and the hidden dangers are more serious than during the day.

Fortunately, I finally reached the river safely.

Stepping on the big tree on the river and crossing to the other bank, Lu Lu heard the shrill cry from near the entrance of Shuigouzi Cave from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel happy: "It's in stock!"

Shuigouzi was kept as a pet by many people in later generations. They like its cute appearance and its whistling sound, but to Lu Lu, it is money.

The screaming sound heard at this time was the strange cry of the water dog being clamped, and Lu Lu could even hear the sound of it dragging the wooden clamp as it struggled and collided with the rocks on the river beach.

Hurrying a few steps to the entrance of Shuigouzi's cave, Lu Lu raised the lantern, and saw that the wooden clamp was clamping the back of Shuigouzi's neck, and it was clamped together with its short forelimbs.

The strong clip clamped the long, slippery and soft body, and it was not easy to break free. It was already exhausted.

But the wooden clip is connected to the wooden pile driven deep into the soil by a strong steel wire rope, and it can only circle around the pile, without enough strength to break free, so it can only keep roaring.

Seeing Yuan Bao, he immediately rushed forward, screaming.

Hearing the sound, Shuigouzi struggled to drag the wooden clamp, jumped up, and opened his mouth to bite Yuanbao, but because the steel wire rope attached to it was not long enough, he fell to the ground under the tension, and stood up again. He roared at Yuan Bao who was rushing towards him.

Don't look small, the little things are fierce, especially the sharp teeth in the mouth, which should not be underestimated.

"Yuanbao!" Lu Lu hurriedly called out.

The intact fur should not have a few more holes because of the ingot, and it should not be treated like a wild boar or a blind bear.

Lu Lu got closer, and put a lantern on the dry tree stump above its cave to illuminate it. To prevent himself from being bitten, he took out the slingshot he carried with him, and hit it hard on the head.

Shuigouzi let out a shrill cry, and fell to the ground, his legs trembling, and his tail swept back and forth on the ground.

Now, the power of this slingshot, hitting the head, is already fatal.

Shui Gouzi quickly disappeared.

Lu Lu stepped forward, opened the wooden clamps, and took off the water dog.

Stretch out your hand to stroke the fur, the water is smooth, soft and comfortable!
Putting away the wooden clip and the thin wire rope, Lu Lu led Yuan Baoniang and the four of them, and walked towards another wooden clip where the water dog feces bait was placed.

There are many animals that have a special liking for water dog feces, big and small, and the wooden clips are not enough to see the bigger ones, so Lu Lu didn't hold out much hope.

It's just that when I got closer, I saw unexpectedly that there were goods on the wooden clips.

It was a small animal the size of a domestic cat with markings on its body.

After a brief identification, Lu Lu was overjoyed.

This is clearly a mountain raccoon, also known as a leopard cat and a money cat.

Another valuable skin.

This mountain raccoon was unlucky. He stretched out his head to eat the feces of the water dog placed on the wooden clamp, touched the clamp, and was directly clamped around his neck, suffocating.

This saved Lu Lv a lot of trouble.

He directly opened the clip, took out the mountain fox, and tied it with the water dog.

The raccoon didn't eat the feces of those water dogs, and the clip bounced up and collapsed again. Lu Lu simply collected the feces again, put the clip on the wooden board in place again, and then held the lantern and led Follow Yuan Baoniang to walk back.

Going back this way, the walk is relatively brisk.

The harvest of two clips, the harvest of greyhounds and pheasants for at least half a month before topping it.

Returning to Dixianzi safely, seeing that it was getting late, Lu Lu was not in a hurry to deal with it. He had been busy all day, and his body was obviously tired.

He boiled hot water for himself, washed his face and soaked his feet, and then replaced Zhao Meiling's wound, which was blood-stained and water-stained. He lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep not long after.

When I woke up the next morning, it was already daylight.

In the cellar, it was stuffy all night, and the dry smell of wild boar filled the air, making Lu Lu frowned.

He hurriedly got up, and opened all the small doors and windows of the cellar to ventilate.

Thinking of the water dogs, mountain raccoons, and so many wild boars and pork bellies, they had to be processed and preserved quickly, and they couldn't go up the mountain today.

He ran to the river, brushed his teeth, and washed his face in the river water. After being shocked by the cold water, Lu Lu's head was still a little dizzy, but he immediately woke up, and his whole body was refreshed.

Last night, I asked my brother who knows how to make skis, and he knew that the skis must be made of yellow-haired pigs, that is, more than one hundred catties of wild boar skin. This kind of wild boar skin weighing four to five hundred catties is not suitable, so I have to give up, but , the hard mane on it can be sold for money.

Making money is a process of getting more from less, and there are too few things that make you fat with one bite.

Lu Lu tried his best to pull out those manes one by one, tied them up with straw ropes made of ulagrass, and put them in a bag.

If you save more in the future, it can be a small amount of money.

As for the pigskin, Lu Lu tied it to a big tree next to the cellar, more than 30 centimeters above the ground.

The three puppies are alive and kicking, just when they can't stay idle and are trying to learn basic abilities, the three little ones are quickly attracted by the smell of blood, they come to the side of the pigskin, biting the pigskin and tearing it, making groaning, falling down Also a great way to exercise.

As for the pork, he selected some good ones, cleaned them with hot water, cut them into small pieces, and prepared some oil for cooking.

Some of the remaining meat was kept for the dogs, and some was preserved by smoking.

This is a matter of moving the knife, and it is also a delicate job.

When the pot was pulled out, those strips of meat were on fire and smoked, and the whole morning passed without realizing it.

Perhaps because of the smell of meat oil, Lu Lu didn't even think about eating, so he simply took out the water dog and mountain fox, hung them up and peeled them carefully.
Lu Lu was already familiar with a set of procedures, but it didn't take long to peel off the fur, shovel the oily skin on the stretched wooden stake, wash and dry the water, stuff it into the Ula grass to tighten, and send it to the fairy column to dry in the shade.

Although the meat of the mountain raccoon can also be used as medicine, it can't be sold for a price these days, so Lu Lu plans to eat it at night.

As for the water dog, this is a good thing. Its liver itself is a kind of precious traditional Chinese medicine, so it can be dried and stored directly.

Water dog meat is also good, it can help yang, nourish the kidney, relieve cough, and kill insects.

The processing is also very simple, cut into strips and dry in the sun.

However, Lu Lu didn't intend to do this. He cut the water dog meat into several pieces and fed them to the three puppies respectively. He needed them to remember the smell.

In terms of finding prey, it still depends on the hunting dogs.

It's not easy for him to find it by himself on the mountain and among the dogs.

Then, all that's left is a boar belly.

This is also a good thing.

Wild boars with thick fur and thick skin have a very mixed diet, such as herbal eggs, mushrooms, hares, mountain rats, and venomous snakes.As long as it is edible, it must be eaten. Its stomach can be said to be invulnerable to all poisons.

According to the old hunters, wild boars are eating poisonous snakes, and poisonous snakes will bite the inner wall of the wild boar's belly. When eating various plants and roots for a long time, many of them are Chinese herbal medicines. These things are mixed and soaked in the stomach. Fermented, It has formed a very strong ability to heal and heal wounds. When the stomach is bitten, a boil will form after healing.

The more boils there are, the higher the value of wild boar belly.

I don't know if these boils were bitten by poisonous snakes that entered the belly, but it does not prevent the number of these boils from being a sign for people to judge the quality of wild boar belly.

Very early on, people have realized the benefits of wild boar belly, and later generations have also become a high-end food material. It has a good curative effect in treating stomach problems, so a wild boar belly is often sold for thousands of dollars.

Lu Lu poured some warm water into the wild boar belly to clean the inside. After rinsing the sundries inside with clean water, he opened the pig belly with a knife and saw that there were many boils inside, so he immediately laughed.

Just this one pork belly, if it is sent to the district, it can be sold for dozens of yuan if someone with knowledge sees it, and if it is sent to Yichun, it can be sold even higher.

In yesterday's day, I harvested two greyhound skins, one mink skin with green roots, one yellow skin, one water dog skin plus a pair of livers, and one leopard cat skin.

These are all good things. If you give them away for sale, they will probably cost no less than 300 yuan.

Three hundred... a lot of money!

And that's just one day's worth.

Of course, Lu Lu also knows that it is impossible to have such a cheap thing every day, but it is enough to make him look forward to his future life.

He added a lot of salt to the basin, rubbed and washed the pork belly, cleaned it, took it back to the cellar, and baked it with charcoal fire to dry it, which is convenient for preservation and for sale in the future.

When the old hunters catch the prey, they have the habit of taking the belly of the prey back to eat by themselves, which means: the barn is full and there is a good harvest.

Lu Lu didn't pay attention to this aspect. For him, it was more practical to exchange it for money.

Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, if you eat it yourself, you will get some yellow hairs, and there will be opportunities.

While he was earnestly flipping the wild boar belly, footsteps came from outside.

Neither Yuan Bao nor the three puppies made a sound, and Lu Lv knew without going out that it was one of Chen Xiuqing's siblings, Wang Demin, and Aunt Duan.

Hearing the strong and steady footsteps, he immediately determined that it was Chen Xiuqing.

Sure enough, at the gate of the basement, Chen Xiuqing quickly poked her head in: "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
