After finally surviving the night, at dawn the next day, the three of us set off on the return journey.
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu were walking in front. They kept shouting the word "swallow" and responded to each other. From time to time, they looked back at Chen Xiuqing with a joking look.
Chen Xiuqing followed the two of them with an embarrassed look on her face: "Brother Lu... sister, what are you two doing? Can you stop yelling?"
Lu Lu smiled and said: "Someone screamed all night last night, and we haven't said anything yet!"
Chen Xiuyu echoed: "That's right!"
After the night last night, Chen Xiuyu and Lu Lu suddenly opened their hearts a lot. The girl who had always blushed in front of Lu Lu began to become more natural and naughty.
Seeing Chen Xiuqing turning her elbows outwards to help Lu Lulai "bully" her sister, Chen Xiuqing was speechless and could only follow behind with her head hanging down.
He was not a good talker, so he was no match for Chen Xiuyu and Lu Lu, so they had no choice but to beg for mercy.
Seeing his listless look, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu lost interest in teasing him.
"Qingzi, your unrequited love is a bit serious!"
Lu Lu stopped and looked at Chen Xiuqing: "Do you know what Wang Yan thinks about you?"
"have no idea!"
Chen Xiuqing shook her head, feeling a little frustrated: "You must dislike me very much, otherwise you wouldn't say I'm a loser or lazy!"
This twenty-year-old man is always inexplicably nervous and feels helpless in front of a fifteen-year-old girl.
"She says you are lazy and a loser, but that doesn't necessarily mean she dislikes you. At least one thing is certain, she has started to pay attention to you."
Lu Lu smiled and said: "Two days ago, when Yanzi was cooking, she asked me specifically if you would like to come over for dinner. If you come, she will cook more... Do you know what I mean? Yanzi is thinking of you!
"
"real?"
Chen Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic: "From then on, I will eat at Brother Lu's place every day!"
Hearing this, the corner of Lu Lu's mouth twitched, and Chen Xiuyu also looked at her honest brother with a strange look.
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Fuck you!"
Chen Xiuqing was dumbfounded: "What's going on?"
"It's okay. Since you like it, it's not a bad thing to have more contact with her."
Lu Lu raised his head and looked at the vast mountains ahead: "Let's stop making trouble. Let's hurry back and see if we can catch a wild boar on the way. If we hurry up, we might be able to catch the swallows cooking the meal.
Please be careful and don't take it lightly.
Talking about making noise after entering the mountains is too distracting, and it is difficult to find prey and the fragrance. It is also easy to alarm nearby prey or be targeted by wild animals. This is a taboo when traveling in the mountains!
Qingzi, pay attention to this issue when you go into the mountains in the future."
Especially in the summer, the weather is too hot at noon, and the cooler morning and evening are the peak times for wild animal activity. Everyone is busy looking for food. If you encounter something powerful this morning, you may accidentally catch them.
The way.
After hearing what Lu Lu said, Chen Xiuyu and Chen Xiuqing both shut their mouths.
The four Yuan Baoniangs ran ahead to clear the way, closely followed by Lu Lu, with Chen Xiuyu in the middle and Chen Xiuqing at the back, all focusing on their feet and surroundings.
The forest suddenly became quiet.
At this time of year, everything is growing like crazy, especially the vegetation, which looks different every day.
In autumn and winter, when leaves fall and branches wither, the mountain forests in Xing'an Mountains become empty due to the withering of these small shrubs. The visibility is the best. It is not a very steep mountain. In most places, there is no problem in riding horses.
But it's different now. The big branches are lush and leafy, and the small trees and shrubs below are also vigorously growing. At a glance, there are dense forests everywhere, covering the ground and providing a good hiding place for wild animals.
It can be much more dangerous than winter.
The early morning sun shines through the gaps between the tall trees. The light and shadow alternate and are dappled everywhere. Under various influences, you can see thirty meters, which is pretty good.
Under such conditions, you must be extremely careful when walking.
Fortunately, there were four Yuan Baoniangs running and stopping in front, always giving prompts in time to make the three of them walk more easily.
Along the way out of the mountains, Lu Lu also shot a few greyhounds and scared away two groups of wild boars. Lu Lu also saw a lynx from a distance, leaping out from behind a rock, rushing into the forest like lightning, and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Traces.
In addition, while still on the mountain, I saw the corpse of a cannon egg that had been dead for a long time and had already rotted.
The long winter is also an extremely severe test for ferocious wild animals such as wild boars.
There are so many of them that in order to find enough food, they are either eating or on the way to find food every day.
After a whole winter of rummaging, no matter how big the forest is, you can't help but struggle, especially in early spring, when food is seriously scarce, and many old and weak wild boars starve to death.
Many of them become delicious meals for other wild animals, but some still rot and return to the soil after they die.
It is normal to encounter rotten wild boar in the mountains.
In any case, they finally arrived at the outer mountains and entered the most familiar mountains and fields. Not to mention the Chen Xiuqing brother and sister, even Lu Lu breathed a long sigh of relief.
The mountains were too far away to hunt wild boars, and it was not convenient to transport them. Therefore, when he found traces of wild boars inside, Lu Lu chose to ignore them.
There are also many wild boars in the outer mountains. If they are killed, it will be much more convenient and labor-saving to transport them out of the mountains. At the same time, it can also reduce their damage to crops around the villages, killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, when they arrived at the outer mountains, Lu Lu slowed down a lot and began to search for traces of wild boars in the forest.
There is no easier sighting of wild animals than a wild boar.
Due to their heavy size, their not-so-large hooves can always leave deep marks on the ground.
He likes to rub against pine trees and smear his body with rosin. You can often see pine trees whose bark has been rubbed torn and oily due to the sun.
Groups of people search for grass roots and insect eggs hidden under the humus soil. They always see patches of land that look like they have been plowed.
When encountering these traces, all Lu Lu had to do was to identify the freshness of the traces, follow them, and find them easily.
Not long after searching in the forest, Lu Lu already made a discovery.
Looking at the messy ground in the forest, Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuqing: "Qingzi, take a good look at these traces and tell me the approximate number and size of this group of wild boars."
Chen Xiuqing knew that Lu Lu was teaching him, and his expression became serious, and he began to carefully check and identify the area.
A few minutes later, he looked at Lu Lu: "Brother Lu, there are more than a dozen wild boars in this group of large and small. There are several wild boar cubs. It's hard to distinguish them. There is also one with big footprints and deep holes. I'm afraid.
It must weigh three to four hundred kilograms, they are probably cannon eggs, and there are also some footprints, which should be from sows, I can't tell how many...Brother Lu, am I right?"
Lu Lu smiled: "We will find out later when we find it."
"Brother Lu, do you think there are more than 100 kilograms of yellow hair in this group of pigs? The meat of cannon eggs is not delicious, sows are slightly better... The wild boar still has yellow hair and good meat, but the key is that it is not so slutty!"
The real action was about to take place, and Chen Xiuqing was a little ready to make a move.
Lu Lu carefully looked at the footprints and arch marks, and said with certainty: "There are yellow hairs... but the most delicious ones are the piglets weighing more than ten or twenty pounds!"
