Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 273 Reindeer Herd

The whole town knows who owns the army green old-haired truck. There are often cars going in and out of the forest farm, and strangers are seen driving this car on the road.

If you are suspicious, you will block it. When you find out that the car is stolen, the shit will be thrown out. The key is that you can't sell it if you steal it.

Nowadays, individuals can’t buy a car even if they don’t have one. The public needs to know where it came from before buying it. This truck has such a big target that it will be found wherever you drive it.

Wu Hao was not afraid of losing his car, so he put a sledge on Heifeng, let Wu Meng hold Da Mao, and led the dog along the mountain road to go directly south.

He is going to badger ridge. Badgers are not only valuable in oil, but also delicious in meat.

Few hunters would come to such a distant place. If the trucks were not always looking for lynx to kill the "landlord", the badger would have been flooded.

To the east of Huanziling, there is a grassland of six to seven hundred square meters, where there are pheasants, dragons and rabbits, and there are more thieves from home.

Catch badgers and catch flying dragons and house thieves along the way, the best of all three, if you encounter other animals, you will also fight.

This time he just wanted to stay in the mountains for two more days, because he came by car, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to transport out if there were too many prey.

Hunting in autumn is dangerous. Accidents may occur when going into the mountains. Just like driving a car, people don’t bump into animals, animals will bump into people.

The field of vision in the winter forest is wide, and the hunting safety is much higher.

There were disasters in the past two years, and the nearby prey were driven away. After the rest in the first half of this year, many animals gave birth, and many animals came out from the depths of the forest.

There are more prey, and there are more hunters. Most of them set up traps near the village, catching pheasants and rabbits.

A piece of rabbit skin can be sold for one yuan, and usually getting two rabbits is also a windfall, and killing silly roe deer can also solve the meat problem.

Deng Liuzi and Zhang Laosan recovered from their injuries early on. They occasionally went to work in the forest farm and hunted most of the time.

Foxes and wampes are valuable, catching them is much better than going to work, some people will be timid after one death.

The two of them didn't go far with the dogs, they only walked thirty or forty miles into the mountains to the west, and went home after hunting for a day or two.

Perhaps Deng Liuzi was even more afraid of meeting Wu Hao, so he didn't know how to call him old uncle.

Some people are not afraid of no matter how many things they have experienced. For example, Zhang Liang, who is hard-pressed, has a lot of guts. He dared to go south forty or fifty miles to hunt with a cannon.

There were also hunters who dared to go further. Deng Daliu was also bold, so he stopped picking on Zhang Liang and led Deng Xiaoliu, who was even bolder, into the mountains to the west.

Some time ago, the two of them caught otters at the beginning of winter, and one of them could be sold for dozens, which is better than working in a forest farm.

The two of them were not greedy when they went into the mountain once, as long as they could catch two, they went into the mountain this time with a bear skin on their backs, a bag, some dry food and a water bottle. With Zhang Liang’s lessons learned, the two of them prepared a complete set of things.

The ice in December was too thick to catch otters, but badgers were just as valuable, and they caught two yesterday.

Badger Ridge is very large, and there are small badger holes in the east, where there are not many badgers.

They also use fire mice to burn holes, but hunting also requires "capital".

Rats are also considered cost. It is very difficult for people to catch rats in the mountains. They are brought from home and packed in small baskets woven from willow twigs. This needs to ensure that the rats do not freeze to death, and they must be fed.

Take three at a time, maybe only one is left alive, if they are all dead, you can only find a way to catch them in the mountains.

Therefore, only one badger hole can be burned, and two badgers caught can be sold for seventy or eighty yuan, which is worth a trip.

Not everyone who goes into the mountains can come back with a full reward. Wu Hao has a full match. There are dogs, minks, and golden eagles. Basically, he can hunt any prey, and there are quite a few.

The sixth brother Deng only had two guns, and each had a hunter grandfather, and they also left a lot of inheritance.

But Deng Liuzi used a dog, and he had no choice but to be a son. He didn't earn as much money as his father, so he had to give up the dog to Lao Tzu.

It was a joy to catch two badgers, but it was a pity that Deng Daliu pricked his foot and patted the blood with the sole of his shoe. After wiping it clean, he found that the wound was a little bigger.

It wasn't serious, but it delayed the journey. The two of them didn't go far to the east, so they found a place where the wind was blowing and they had a fire to rest.

They were seven or eight miles south of the pasture.

While eating barbecue, I saw a group of thieves from my hometown flying up from the north, daring not to land, circling for a long time and flying away.

Herbivores will not scare the flock of birds like this. If it is a carnivore, if it is a lynx, it will be a windfall if you hit one.

Deng Xiaoliu insisted on going to see it, but Deng Daliu didn't want to go, but he couldn't stand his younger brother's persuasion, so he finally compromised. Now it's going to be dark soon, so he can only wait until tomorrow.

It was very tiring to go into the mountains and walk for two or three days. The two of them were not physically strong. This time they slept until Wu Hao went into the mountains, and they woke up to eat dry food.

Simply deal with it and go north. If you find lynx footprints in the pasture, you can go to the direction it is heading and squat to guard.

Deng Daliu's feet hurt, and he walked slowly with the salute and the badger on his back. Deng Xiaoliu was only over 90 catties, and he couldn't be expected to share it.

The two of them headed north, while Wu Hao and Wu Meng took Heifeng and led the dog to the south.

The terrain near the meadow in the middle of the two sides is very interesting.

The forest on the west side of the pasture is high-lying, and you need to climb a small steep slope more than two meters long to get in. It is quite difficult for people to go up, and this forest is dense, four or five miles long from north to south.

This pasture is only less than 20 meters wide from east to west. There is a downhill slope on the east side, and then uphill into the forest.

A ditch is formed in the middle, which is four or five miles long from north to south, and there are similar ditches in the forest to the east of the ditch.

As a result, many cross grooves are formed.

To the south of the grassland is a forest with a width of less than 20 meters and a length of less than 70 meters from north to south. There are small poplars growing in it.

The south side of this forest is also a ditch formed by two downhill slopes, and the length from east to west is also about 20 meters.

To the south is a forest.

The terrain on the north and south sides of the pasture is similar, the terrain gradually rises, and then there is a big downhill.

In the northwest corner of the pasture, there is a path more than two meters wide between two forests. Yesterday near evening, a herd of reindeer came.

Herbivores shouldn't scare home thieves away, but this herd of reindeer is plentiful.

There are millions of reindeer in Lao Maozi, most of them live in Siberia, and some will migrate south in winter.

The old Maozi passed the tank, or strafed with AK47, and the reindeer herd would go away when they heard the gunshots.

After the small groups converged, they formed a large group of [-] or [-] reindeer. After crossing the river, they migrated from the west to the southeast of the pasture.

I came to this pasture yesterday evening, scraped the snow to find food, and went to bed after eating.

The herd of reindeer is quite interesting, they circle, and often circle.

Many animals have the habit of turning in circles, such as a donkey, which not only pulls and turns in circles, but also usually turns in circles.

At this time, it is best to stay away from it. The main reason is that it turns around when it is irritable, and it is easy to bite.

The reason why wild dogs circle around is mostly due to stomach discomfort.

The reindeer circle around to guard against predators, run to confuse them, and also protect the cubs in the middle.

Another reason is that it is cold at night when I go to bed, and I get up and run in circles in the morning to keep warm.

Maybe it was because they were tired from migrating yesterday. Some reindeer got up this morning to defecate, pee, and eat. Most of the reindeer will just wake up and turn around.

The two brothers in the south approached 500 meters, and saw some animals through the forest. Deng Daliu said disappointedly: "It's better to meet this group."

I can fight, but I can’t go back. I regret that I didn’t drive the ox cart. The key is that such a large herd of reindeer can’t be seen twice a year.

Deer are very alert, and they can't catch them when they are few. When driving, they will often run empty, and it is useless to regret it now.

But hunting is addictive. Deng Xiaoliu rubbed his hands and said, "One shot can pierce candied haws. Let's eat venison, and then carry a thigh back."

Meat can be stored in winter, but it is not safe to put it in the mountains. Not to mention lynx, foxes, wolverines, even wild boars may eat the meat.

Birds like magpies also eat them.

If you kill a few reindeer, even if you bury them in snow, they may be eaten up. Tigers, leopards and bears have big appetites and a keen sense of smell.

Deng Daliu didn't want to fight, but saw his younger brother eager to try.

He had no choice but to nod and said, "Go and shoot one. I'll wait for you with this gun."

The herd of wild boars might attack with their guns on them, and the herd of deer would definitely run away when they heard the gunshots. He didn't think they needed to go and fight together, so he followed behind and walked 300 meters away.

Put down the bag, sit on the ground and set up the gun just in case, the most important thing is that his feet hurt and he dare not walk lightly for fear of scaring the deer away.

In fact, normally speaking, there is no danger in hunting deer alone.

However, hunters are most afraid of someone shooting nearby, because they may not come running from the direction of the gunshot, especially in autumn when there are leaves, they can't see the forest at all, and they are hard to guard against when they rush out.

In winter, the field of view is wide, and Deng Xiaoliu didn’t think too much about it. He took advantage of the cover of the trees and approached quietly to the north. He needed to go down the slope and then go up the slope. When he entered the small poplar forest in the south of the pasture, he needed to approach slowly. .

Across a forest, maybe there was a tiger lying on its stomach. Two miles to the east of Deng Xiaoliu, a dark guy was digging in the snow with his back mound sticking out.

This Xiong Xiazi is "Zi Di Hu", the little bear that escaped when Deng Liuzi and Zhang Laosan killed Di Cangzi.

At that time, the mother bear was beaten to death, and the most cowardly cub was beaten to death. It was originally irritable, but it was frightened and ran away last time.

At that time it was less than 300 catties, but now it weighs more than [-] catties.

Last year, I developed a habit of not hibernating easily, and this year it is still the same, I will talk when I have enough strolls.

Today is a sunny day with a slight breeze.

Xiong Xiazi pulled out two pine nuts and threw them into his mouth, then licked his paws with icicles, and a gust of wind blew.

Its nostrils were slightly dilated, and it smelled the scent of prey. There seemed to be quite a few of them, and Xiong Blind rolled his small eyes.

Standing like a human, still chewing pine nuts in his mouth, tilting his head to look northwest, thinking about whether to hunt or not like a human.

Brown bears and black bears have very different personalities. Brown bears are very aggressive. As long as their size is dominant, they dare to fight anyone.

This blind black man is fierce and cowardly now, only after being frightened by the gun.

It scratched its head in a humane manner. There were too many prey, so it was a bit afraid to go, but the meat was still delicious. A fierce light flashed in its eyes and it was about to go northwest.

"Boom boom boom!"

The reindeer began to warm up in circles. More than 100 reindeer ran loudly, and some predators dare not approach.

　I only edit it once, there may be mistakes, I will look for it later, and I will post three chapters after twelve o'clock, and I haven't finished the revision yet.
