"How was it when you got home last night? Xiuyu wasn't scolded or beaten, was she?"
Lu Lu was still worried. Ma Jinlan couldn't be treated with common sense. She was already an eighteen-year-old girl, but she was still being managed like a three-year-old child. It would not look good if things happened.
After all, Chen Xiuyu followed him and stayed in the mountains all night. This is not a trivial matter. If word spreads about it, it will definitely not sound good.
"No, my mother didn't say anything, as if it didn't happen! I'm still surprised."
Chen Xiuqing herself didn't understand.
What happened was unexpected, and Lu Lu was also a little surprised. He didn't believe that Ma Jinlan suddenly changed his gender. It was even harder to change his stubborn temper than to reach heaven.
However, no matter what, it is a good thing that Chen Xiuyu was not beaten or scolded.
They hurried all the way without saying anything else. Near noon, they had already arrived at the place where the salt nest was set up.
I checked first and found that there were traces of licking in the soil of the first salt nest. There were quite a few traces, some were new and some were old.
There were several kinds of wild animals in the footprints, including a herd of sika deer. The traces left behind were very fresh. They had been there last night. According to preliminary estimates, there were seven or eight large and small animals.
There are old and new traces, indicating that this salt nest has long been familiar to this group of deer, and they come here from time to time to lick the salt.
This is a good thing.
Since there is something coming, there must be something gained.
Lu Lu directly sprinkled some salt on the salt nest, then called Chen Xiuqing and went to another salt nest several miles away.
However, this salt nest has been ruined and was overturned by a group of wild boars, and it seems that it happened two or three days ago.
The poplar trees buried in the pits were dug out and chewed in an awkward manner.
This salt nest is considered abandoned.
In summer, salt is something that many animals are in urgent need of, and the salt in this area has already been eaten up.
"I can only go back and guard that salt nest!"
Lu Lu said with some regret.
Originally, he was thinking that the two salt nests would take turns to be guarded so that the harvest would be greater, but it seemed that he was overly ambitious.
However, it is not bad to have deer visiting the salt nest. Even if you can get just one, it will be a sure profit.
What's more, Lu Lu came prepared. Since it was a herd of deer, he only got one, and he felt sorry for all his efforts.
One kilometer away from the Yanwozi, Lu Lu found a small meadow in the mountains, called Chen Xiuqing, and quickly cut down a few long pieces of wood with branches, preparing to build a simple immortal pillar.
Rest at night.
Unlike the first time when we built the cactus pillar and covered it with thatch, this time it was much simpler.
Lu Lu used the disassembled nylon bag and sewed it into a large piece of nylon cloth. Four or five pieces of wood were staggered to hold it up, and the nylon cloth could be used to surround the surrounding area.
Mainly to prevent bad weather such as rain.
Although the mountain forest is large, it is not easy to find a tree cave or stone cave that is large enough for two people. This is also for convenience.
Anyway, this piece of nylon cloth only weighs a few kilograms when folded.
It only took half an hour to build this fairy pillar.
The two made a small fire inside, took out the steamed buns and heated them up. After filling their stomachs, Lu Lu called Chen Xiuqing, returned to Yanwozi, and began to prepare his trap.
Lu Lu had already considered the terrain when he first chose this small meadow.
The small meadow is not large, just over a hundred square meters, and is surrounded by trees and a few small shrubs.
The terrain is favorable and the fence hunting method can be used.
Just make use of the taller trees in the surroundings, cut down branches and sticks, and form a fence to prevent prey from escaping. Just leave an entrance. As soon as the prey enters, block the entrance and hunt around it, just like catching a turtle in an urn.
Lu Lu had seen the Evenki people do this before when they went into the mountains to collect mountain goods.
This is a very flexible method. They not only use fences when hunting in groups, but also often use this method when individuals hunt alone.
It can make up for the shortage of personnel, and when combined with various traps, the results are even more remarkable.
The Ewenki people often set up such fences in places where there are many wild animals, and put traps such as rope nooses and ground arrows inside. They check every day and can often pick up prey without any effort.
At present, the fence around the underground cellar has been built. When Lu Lu set up the salt nest to create an artificial alkali field, his idea was to capture him alive and then send him back to be released for free-range. If he just shot and killed, there would be no need to spend so much time. Just trace it directly.
After telling Chen Xiuqing what he meant, the two of them each picked up their axes and began to lay out the fence around the small area.
Even though it is a small area, it is still a big project for the two of them.
Chen Xiuqing was outstanding in this matter. One person was as good as Lu Lu and two others.
Every household in Xiushantun has a yard, which is surrounded by fences. This is something almost everyone can do. What's more, building a fence here is simpler than a fence in the yard. You only need to block the gaps everywhere. Just make sure the deer can't jump out.
This busy work lasted until it was almost dark, and a lot of energy wasted, but it was almost completed. After several hours of high-intensity operation, both of them were a little tired and paralyzed.
"Let's go back tonight and have a good sleep!" Lu Lu asked Chen Xiuqing to walk together to the temporary immortal pillar.
"Brother Lu, didn't you say you were staying at night?" Chen Xiuqing asked doubtfully.
Lu Lu said seriously: "It is at night, but it is definitely not tonight. Sika deer, roe deer, red deer and the like are the animals that like to lick the alkaline soil in the saline-alkali land most during this season. They usually come out at night, so, All we can do is squat and watch at night.
However, the two of us made so much noise here today that many animals around us were probably scared away.
Deer are such smart animals. Even if you drop a cigarette butt or smell blood in this place, they may not come near this place for several months. Do you think they will come tonight? Not to mention tonight, maybe tomorrow , he won’t even come the night after tomorrow.
You can’t rush this matter, you have to be patient.”
Chen Xiuqing nodded, feeling that she had learned something again.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he felt something was wrong, and then asked: "Brother Lu, why don't we just go home and come back tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?"
"It's comfortable at home, right?" Lu Lu said with a smile.
Chen Xiuqing nodded honestly.
Lu Lu glared at him and said with a lesson: "Do you want to be comfortable or make money? A round trip to this deep mountain will take most of the day if you walk on foot. It takes a lot of time to toss, and you don't know how to use this. Time to hunt for something in this deep mountain forest?"
"Yes, yes, make money, don't waste time!"
The two of them went all the way back to the temporary immortal pillar, rekindled the firewood, baked steamed buns, and after they were full, they gave a few to Yuan Baoniang and the other four.
Lu Lu even brought in a lot of corn that Zhui Feng needed. This horse still needs a lot of care!
At night, Lu Lu had to remind Chen Xiuqing to be more alert.
Entering the deep mountains is no better than outside the mountains. Even if there are four Yuanbao Niangs around, you have to be extremely careful.
