Chapter 17 The Dog Comes

Chapter 17 The dog is coming

Animals have very keen intuition about breath.

Even though the blind bear had been cut into pieces, the smell still made the horses instinctively panic.

Lu Lu was on the mountain, watching Wang Demin lead the startled carriage away, and then he continued to search in the mountains and forests.

Having just eaten a large bowl of dumplings, Lu Lu was not in a hurry to return to Dixiangzi.

The weather was quite good, just as the saying goes: Laoleng was flying in the blue sky. I was overlooking the mountains and fields from the high hill. I happened to be searching in the mountains and forests.

His main target now is not exactly those small animals that can be taken care of by the slingshot, but the wild vegetables in the mountains.

In early April, in the Xing'an Mountains, except for the evergreen plants, everything was still in a state of depression.

Compared with the south, the real spring here is later and much shorter.

Dry leaves cover the hillside. The rising temperature during this period can easily turn them into brittle leaves.

People are walking in the woods, rushing and rushing, as if they are wading across a river.

He looked intently and saw a yellow figure slowly walking out of the forest...

Originally, he planned to keep the beloved roe deer for himself, but he forgot to take it back last night, and this morning he was busy dealing with the blind bear's affairs, so it just hung on the branch of the tree.

According to his understanding of dogs, if he eats here once, he is likely to come again.

This time, although the yellow dog still looked at him warily, he did not deliberately retreat and dodge, and even wagged his tail at Lu Lu.

Clusters of mother-in-law are scattered among these dead leaves.

Judging from this situation, this yellow dog has lived in this mountain forest for a long time. It has often been injured while hunting. It has even been attacked by wild beasts, or it has been injured when it took the initiative to attack.

Such wild vegetables were put on the dining table in later generations. They were pure natural wild vegetables, loved by the public, and the price was not low. However, these days, they are extremely common to people.

Unfortunately, it's getting dark now, so it's hard to go into the woods.

The bear paws and meat strips taken from the blind bear still need to be processed.

The two sides worked hard for more than an hour, and finally the hair on the bear's paw was plucked out and soaked in cold water.

Lu Lu didn't bring a hoe or shovel, he just used the knife and started digging.

When Lu Lu saw this dog, he suddenly thought of himself.

However, it's a long way to go from here to the city, and the price is too low, so you can't make much money at all.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the woods not far away.

When they got closer, Lu Lu saw the yellow dog's physical condition clearly and was suddenly frightened.

What happened to this?

The wounds on its body are shocking.

Taking advantage of this moment, he went back to the cellar, cut the meat strips into pieces, put them into the pot, and simmered them in oil.

"It's quite edible..."

He washed the mother-in-law cubes and small roots of garlic, and simply marinated them with miso to make a cold dish. There was still some steamed sorghum rice in the wooden pot, just steam it and heat it up. In addition, he took a piece of roe deer meat, cut it into small pieces, and blanched it. Then I used chili segments and small roots of garlic as ingredients and fried a bowl.

It looked up at Lu Lu, picked up the liver in its mouth the next second, turned around and ran into the forest.

Lu Lu suddenly felt this way, mainly because of his own experience.

There will be opportunities in the future.

After picking up the wild vegetables, Lu Lu didn't stop all the way. When he returned to his homestead, it was already dark.

Some died, and some survived and became stray dogs.

Lu Lu could only give up the idea of ​​following up for the time being.

There are always some sick and disabled dogs that are abandoned, and there are also puppies that are just born and have their eyes opened for a full month. The good ones are taken away by others, and the remaining owners cannot keep them. After they are given away and no one wants them, they go to the mountains.

deliver.

These wild vegetables can be sold. After all, not everyone has time to go to the mountains to dig them, especially those in the city who have jobs.

Seeing that it was a stupid dog, Lu Lu's tense heart relaxed a little.

After finishing my work, I boiled some hot water and took a quick shower, then crawled into bed. It must have been around nine o'clock in the evening.

At this stage, the female dog needs nutrition the most, and if she does not receive adequate nutritional supplements, she cannot help but suck her puppies.

The same goes for the inconspicuous little weed-like garlic root.

Although this yellow dog has a lot of scabies on its body, it also has various claw marks and tooth marks.

There are many dangerous beasts in the mountains, so we have to be on guard against them.

"Eat, eat, it's just for you!" Lu Lu smiled.

As if he understood Lu Lu's words, Huang lowered his head and swallowed the pieces of meat in one bite.

After eating Chinese cabbage, radish and sour pickles all winter, when these wild vegetables are used for seasoning, every household will go up the mountain or go to the fields to get some to try it.

The Northeast has a long winter, with temperatures in the 30s and 40s at frequent intervals, making it difficult to preserve vegetables.

The most important thing is the swollen breasts hanging from the belly of this yellow dog. It must be that the puppy has just been born and is nursing.

They say dogs come to wealth, but the one who came is such a useless mangy dog...

Even after eating and drinking, Lu Lu was not allowed to rest.

The next morning, Lu Lu was awakened by the humming sound coming from outside the house. He got up, put on his coat, picked up the big ax that was placed beside the bed, and went to the small cellar first.

I looked out the window and suddenly laughed.

If a blind greyhound breaks into the surrounding area, just use the slingshot to kill it.

He looked around and noticed that the yellow dog's eyes were on the hearts, liver and lungs pulled out of the roe deer's bodies next to the cellar. He raised the knife and cut off the heart, cut it into several pieces and threw them to the yellow dog.

before.

The yellow dog took two steps back very alertly, looked up at Lu Lu, then tilted his head to look at the heart of the roe deer on the ground, hesitated for a moment, took two steps forward, lowered his head to sniff, and then looked up at Lu Lu.

The mother-in-law cubes and small garlic bulbs collected by Lu Lu weighed several kilograms each.

The state-owned stores or purchasing points of foreign trade companies in the district mainly focus on higher-end products, such as mushrooms, furs, nuts and other mountain products.

He went inside the Immortal Pillar and lit a fire. The temperature was higher and the robe leather placed in the Immortal Pillar could dry faster.

As for selling...

This situation is very common.

The weather is still very cold, so these vegetables can be stored for a few days without special storage. They grow a lot in this area, so I can get more of them so that I can eat more meals without having to dig for them temporarily.

In nearby villages, many families keep dogs. They are usually used by families to look after their homes and protect their homes, and hunters take them with them for hunting.

These are his dinner tonight.

Therefore, these days, it is only used for eating.

Some have healed, others have just scabbed over, and there are even new wounds, with the skin and flesh rolled over and blood still flowing down drop by drop. They are not ulcers at all.

Use a hoe to dig out some yellow mud, add a little water, mix it, paste a thick layer of mud shell on two bear paws, and burn them in firewood.

But not all dogs receive good treatment.

His expression suddenly shook, and he immediately grabbed the ax he carried with him and looked in the direction of the sound.

It's true that both are correct.

Lu Lu simply removed the entire roe deer's liver from the branch and tentatively brought it to the yellow dog.

It is this withered color everywhere that makes the new greens that have been hidden become conspicuous.

What came out of the woods was a yellow-haired female dog with scabies all over her body. The fur on her body was bald here and there, and there were a few places that seemed to be ulcerated.

The yellow dog was also very cautious. When he walked out of the forest and came to the immortal pillar, he stopped walking forward and just looked at Lu Lu steadily.

Using this yellow mud, you can effectively remove the thick hair on bear paws, which is more convenient and faster than boiling it with water.

Without thinking much, Lu Lu got into the cellar and prepared dinner for himself.

In the evening, Lu Lu harvested a lot of mother-in-law and small root vegetables, which he tied in bundles with mountain vines.

Lu Lu guessed that in all likelihood, it failed to hunt and was injured instead, unable to hunt prey. Only then did it smell the smell of blood and find its own nest.

"Alas...they are all pitiful!"

The bear oil has also been boiled out. It has less meat and less oil. It only fills up the jar in which the oil was originally bought. However, it is no problem to eat it for ten days and a half.

He shook his head slightly and put the liver in front of the yellow dog.

Three puppies who had just opened their eyes were chasing each other clumsily in the open space in front of the cellar. One was black, one was white, and the other was black and white, chubby, and really cute.

The yellow dog lay quietly on one side, licking the wounds on his body.

Unexpectedly, it brought its cub to the door without having to look for it by myself.

What a good sign!
