Chapter 216 216 Natural Hunting Ground (please vote for me)
Everyone picked up the wild boar and ran down the hillside with him. They followed him carefully from the protruding rock wall to a rock. From the huge protruding rock on the cliff, they saw the cave on the cliff.
Shan pointed to the stone slab blocking the entrance of the cave, "Look, the stone slab is still there. It seems that no one has been here."
The bull smiled and said, "Okay! Since the entrance of the cave is blocked, there is no need to worry about wild beasts inside."
Shan smiled and nodded, "Let's lift the stone slab and see if there are any snakes or insects inside."
The bull nodded, and the two of them stepped forward and lifted the stone slab blocking the entrance of the cave, and a wet and rotten smell wafted out.
Mufeng panted and put down the wild boar, wiped his sweat, and saw a dozen wild boars lying on the rock. He burst into laughter, "I killed a dozen wild boars in one go. I haven't felt so happy in a long time."
Zhi and the warriors behind him came over carrying firewood and said with a happy smile: "Haha! The harvest is good!"
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, pointing to the bottom of the valley, "There is a natural hunting ground down there."
"It's because no one is hunting. To be honest, people can kill as many beasts as they can eat."
Shan said, picking up a big stone and throwing it into the hole. The stone rolled in. After everyone waited for a while and saw that no snakes or insects came out, they started to enter the hole.
Mufeng took out a flashlight and illuminated the cave, and found that the cave was not too small, as big as two rooms.
There was still unburnt firewood inside, and there was a wind blowing from nowhere, making people feel chilly.
Shan pointed to the cave wall at the end of the cave, "There is a pool inside, which is very convenient for drinking water and washing meat."
Mufeng took a flashlight and walked in to take a look. He saw a dark pool the size of a wooden basin. There was a crack on the cliff that went straight to the roof of the cave. The wind blew from there, and the water overflowing from the pool also followed the crack.
flow away.
"This cave is pretty good." Mu Feng turned off the flashlight and walked out, digging in his backpack. "Xiao Qing packed some moxa. She said there was a lot of moisture in the cave and there were a lot of bugs, so she asked me to light some fumigation."
"Okay, I'll make a fire." The wolf took out the turning wood and started to make a fire, and the fire quickly started to burn.
Mufeng lit moxa and placed it in the cave. After a while, bugs of different shapes crawled out of the cave.
Jiang Li led a few warriors and started peeling off the skin. As soon as the knife penetrated the flesh, blood flowed out, and everyone disemboweled him neatly.
Mufeng looked at the white pig suet and quickly pulled the basket over, "Don't throw away the suet, pick it up with salt."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's cold, so we're not afraid of the meat spoiling. Let's marinate all the meat oil and carry it all back."
"Alas!" Zhi looked at the pig intestines and sighed, "What a pity these pig intestines are, they are delicious when cooked."
Mufeng smiled and said: "Let's wash the large intestine, dry it, and pickle it with salt."
Zhi laughed happily, "Okay! Carry it back and let Xiaoqing braised large intestine be given to us!"
Shan Xiangxiang said: "Let's pickle the pork liver, pork belly, pork kidneys, and pork tongue, hang them on the bonfire and smoke them to dry."
Jiang Li responded readily: "Okay."
"Roar~" Suddenly there was a roar from the bottom of the valley. Everyone looked towards the bottom of the valley and saw wild animals running away in all directions.
A huge creature that was five feet tall and nine feet long, with tawny fur all over its body and a few light markings on it, and a tail only about half a foot long, appeared at the bottom of the valley.
Mufeng shouted excitedly and horrified: "Look, short-tailed tiger!"
Jiang Li looked at the bottom of the valley and said in a deep voice: "There are indeed ferocious beasts here."
It roared wildly, pounced on a fat adult stag, slapped the stag with one paw, and the stag let out a shrill whine, and then fell to the ground.
The short-tailed tiger pounced forward and bit the stag's neck. The stag kicked several times and stopped moving. The short-tailed tiger lay on the stag and began to chew it.
The short-tailed tiger enjoyed a big meal, looked up at the rock, and walked away in a square pace.
Everyone saw the ferocious beast with their own eyes. Fortunately, they listened to Jiang Li just now and did not rush recklessly.
Shan said: "Carry the wild boar into the cave and skin it to prevent the smell of blood from attracting wild beasts."
"Let's go cut some dead grass and lay it in the cave." After Jiang Li finished speaking, he led Mu Feng and others to cut some dead grass on the slope, took it back and spread it in a row against the cliff.
The bull and several warriors carried the large intestines and internal organs to the waterhole. They left the internal organs on the ground and filled a pot of water before starting to wash the large intestines and internal organs.
Shan rubbed the clean offal with salt, piled it on the withered grass, and prepared to hang it on the wooden frame on the bonfire for smoking.
It was pitch dark outside, and the chilling sounds of wild birds and beasts came from the valley.
Under the light of the campfire, everyone finally skinned the wild boar, chopped it into long strips, and smeared it with salt.
Jiang Li chopped some long wooden sticks, tied the wooden frame with ropes, placed some thick wooden sticks on top, and put the meat on the wooden frame to drain the moisture.
The wild animals he hunted when he came here were also taken out and hung on them for smoking.
Everyone then sat around on the ground and ate the dried meat with boiling water.
Shan looked at Jiang Li and said, "Chief Jiang Li, what do you think we should do tomorrow?"
Jiang Li looked at the people in the cave, thought for a moment and said: "There are fifty-six of us in total. I think we can be divided into four teams. Uncle Shan will lead one team, I will lead one team, Leopard will lead one team, and Muba will lead one team."
Team."
"Four teams of warriors, three teams for hunting, and one team of warriors is selected every day to serve as sentry. The warriors on sentry duty do not participate in hunting, but only watch the presence of wild beasts from high places. If they find wild beasts, they will first warn them and then shoot with arrows."
After hearing this, Shan looked at everyone, "What do you think?"
Everyone nodded, "Chief Jiang Li's arrangement is good, let's just do what he said."
Shan nodded, "Okay, put up the stone slab to block the entrance of the cave, sleep peacefully for a night, and kill him tomorrow."
Leopard and Muba went over and erected the stone slabs, Jiang Li and Heiba moved the fire to the entrance of the cave, and everyone lay down to sleep.
Mu Feng looked at the stone slabs and fire at the entrance of the cave, "This is a good method. I will use this method when I go hunting in the future. It also saves me the need to keep vigil at night."
Shan patted him and said, "It's almost time to sleep, you're not tired yet!"
Everyone listened to the sound of insects outside and fell asleep. The sound of snoring could be heard in the cave.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Li and Shan were awakened by the howling of wolves. Seeing that the stone slab at the entrance of the cave was still in good condition, they sat up and waited for a while before lying down and falling asleep again.
The next day, everyone got up at dawn, boiled water, ate dried meat, and went out with weapons.
Jiang Li stood on the rock, listening to the melodious chirping of birds. He could only see the mountain forest opposite, the thin mist passing through the gaps in the forest, the wild animals in groups at the bottom of the valley, and the wild deer playing leisurely, as if he was in the mountains.
A paradise.
Shan walked up to him and said, "Leave two people in this position so that we can clearly see the bottom of the valley."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "Uncle Shan, today you will lead the sentry, while Bao Bao, Muba, I, and I will lead the people to hunt."
Dear friends, it's the end of the month, don't save your tickets, please throw them away!
