Chapter 243 Hidden dangers that must be eliminated
When he saw this lynx, Lu Lu's first thought was that when he first settled down, he was planning to hunt a roe deer as a gift for Zhang Shaofeng. He followed his meadow into the mountains, and when he arrived at another small meadow where the roe deer often roamed,
I discovered that a roe deer had been hunted, and I saw lynx footprints on the black mud by the small pond.
That place is not too far from Lu Lu's meadow.
Lynxes have territories, and the territory is quite large. The one Lu Lu saw today is probably the same lynx.
At that time, he found traces of the lynx, and Lu Lu also tried to follow it.
The reason for trying is that there is a lot of luck involved.
That's because the lynx has big furry claws, like wearing a pair of woolen shoes, and walks silently. It's not winter and snowy days, it's not a special place, and it won't easily leave footprints, so it's hard to find its traces.
In addition, only Yuan Bao could lead him out at that time. Lu Lu used a double-barreled shotgun with Dudou bullets. He thought that even if he found it, he would probably not be able to get close. Moreover, Lu Lu also knew his marksmanship.
, when encountering such an agile wild animal, there is a high probability that it will not be hit. Even if it is hit, the fur may be seriously damaged. In the end, after a little try, I chose to give up.
However, the situation is different now.
It has its eyes on its own herd.
This is a scourge that must be eliminated.
Otherwise, the deer, which are kept in fences and unable to migrate long distances and escape, will be in trouble sooner or later.
This thing not only hunts during the day, but is also active at night.
Hard to guard against!
The key is that Lu Lu once heard something said by the old hunter Zhao Tuanqing.
Zhao Tuanqing once spent a lot of time tracking a lynx, which was staring at the piglets of a group of wild boars.
After tracking for several days, I found that this lynx was staring at the cubs of a herd of wild boars. After a few days, the lynx was hunted down to the last two.
It was the same as what Lu Lu encountered last time. In the end, the female wild boar was driven crazy, and she killed the last two wild boar cubs, and then chased the lynx all the way.
Lynx are fast, but their endurance is far inferior to that of wild boars. When they are short of food, although they can chase their prey for more than ten kilometers, they only stop and run.
If you were running at full speed, you would have to stop to catch your breath within one thousand meters. Therefore, in the end, he was chased by the female wild boar and forced to hide in a tree, allowing Zhao Tuanqing to take advantage of it.
What Lu Lu is worried about right now is that his herd of deer will be targeted, just like how they harmed the young wild boars.
Lynx is not only smart, but also very patient.
"Let's go back!"
Lu Lu thought for a while, then turned around and called Yuan Baoniang and the four of them, and walked back along the fence on the ridge.
"Brother Lu, let's not chase him, it's a lynx!"
Chen Xiuqing's eyes were full of fire. Lynx fur was quite valuable. Needless to say, the meat was also valuable.
"If you want to chase, you have to eat enough first. You think lynx is so easy to find, but it may take a long time. In snowy days, you can still trace the lynx based on the footprints left on the snow, but now you can only rely on the ingots and their scent.
Found it.
Have you seen its speckled fur? It seems to be invisible in the forest under the sunlight..."
Lu Lu himself had no confidence and could only place his hope on the four Yuan Baoniangs.
The four Yuan Bao Niangs have all eaten lynx semen. They must have memorized the smell of lynx, as can be confirmed from the warning sound Yuan Bao made just now.
Judging from the current situation, the last time he saw branches and leaves swaying halfway up the mountain, Yuanbao didn't give any hints. It was probably because Yuanbao had never eaten lynx meat and had no idea about lynxes.
It’s different now, I’ve seen it before!
Moreover, lynxes often mark their territory in various ways every day. With their keen sense of smell, they should have a good chance of finding Yuanbao.
However, these things are not dead. Not only do they have a keen sense of smell, but their hearing is also well developed. The black hairs on their ears that stand straight up are like antennas that can receive radio waves.
Even with Zhao Tuanqing's level, it would take several days to keep up, let alone Lu Lu.
The last time I was able to catch one, it was purely because I ran into it.
No matter what, we have to find out and eliminate this potential threat, and we can still make another fortune.
The two walked along the ridge for a while, then down the gentle slope, washed their hands by the river, and returned to the grass in front of the cellar.
Lu Lu put the semi-automatic back into the cellar and hung it on the wall. After coming out, he sat on the wooden pier and looked at Chen Xiuyu who was busy cooking.
Chen Xiuqing probably wanted to go into the mountains early, so she also excitedly helped Chen Xiuyu with her work.
"Xiuyu, I'll go into the mountains with Qingzi later to look for that lynx. If we don't kill it, we deer may not be able to live in peace."
Lu Lu said seriously.
During this period of time, Chen Xiuyu didn't let Lu Lu do anything. If he went into the mountains, she would probably not agree.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Chen Xiuyu immediately glared over: "You don't know what your own legs are like? You are still thinking of going into the mountains... If you raise them for a few more days, you can wait until the scars disappear, otherwise you will be cut off.
When it arrives, it becomes a new injury."
"It's really okay. Look at me just now. I can run and jump. It doesn't affect me at all. I'm fine. Besides, I'm leading Qingzi. We're in the nearby mountains and forests, and we don't go into the mountains. It's no problem.
"When looking for lynx, you don't need to run around. You just need to take a walk and wander around. You don't need to ride when chasing the wind."
When encountering such a keen animal, you have to be more careful than it is, and it is true that you cannot go too fast, otherwise, it would have run away before you even got close. Lu Lu was telling the truth.
"real?"
Chen Xiuyu was a little suspicious, thought for a moment, and looked at Lu Lu seriously: "You really promise not to mess around..."
"I promise, it's really just a walk." Lu Lu nodded quickly.
Chen Xiuyu didn't understand hunting, but was purely concerned. Of course Lu Lu knew that she was doing it for his own good.
"Brother, you have to help keep an eye on me when we enter the mountain." Chen Xiuyu turned to look at Chen Xiuqing and warned.
Chen Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him: "I know, I was scratched by Blind Bear, but I didn't see you taking it so seriously."
"Whoever calls you is reckless, and you deserve it!" Chen Xiuyu retorted directly.
Chen Xiuqing smacked her lips: "This elbow is so flexible. If this continues, it won't be long before you no longer recognize me as your biological brother. How sad!"
"It's okay if you want me to recognize you. Take good care of Brother Lu. If he comes out of the mountain and does something wrong, I will not only deny you, but I will also beat you!"
Chen Xiuyu said, raising the rice spoon in her hand.
Lu Lu watched the brother and sister chatting from the side, smiled slightly, got up and walked towards the meadow.
He wanted to see the fawn that was attacked by the lynx and the doe whose head was held.
Walking all the way in, Lu Lu looked carefully at the trees on the hillside. When he reached the middle section, he saw the still very alert deer hidden inside.
There was no way to get close now. These deer were still wild. Lu Lu could only watch them from a distance. He looked at them from several angles and found that there was no big problem, so he turned back.
The food was simple. Lu Lu was injured during this period and did not go hunting, so there was no meat.
It was just some fried fish and two home-cooked side dishes. The portions of the dishes were sufficient and a lot of oil was added.
After the meal was prepared, Wang Dalong and his group were invited to have a meal. Chen Xiuyu followed Lu Lu's instructions and cooked corn noodles to feed Yuan Baoniang and the four of them half full.
Lu Lu lifted up the semi-automatic, Chen Xiuyu tied a bullet bag to him, he rubbed Chen Xiuyu's hair, and then walked out of the gate.
As soon as the four Yuan Baoniangs saw Lu Lu walking out, they had already followed him wagging their tails happily.
Not to mention Chen Xiuqing, who came here today to help collect moss, so he didn't bring a gun, but just a slingshot and Lu Lu's hunting bag to follow.
The two of them walked around the fence to the place where the lynx left, hoping that Yuanbao could capture the scent left by the lynx and then follow the path to find it.
It didn't take too long for Yuanbao to capture the scent as expected, probably because the scent was too weak. Even Yuanbao, who was gifted with the ability to smell scent, had to lower his head and sniff everywhere, and then follow it all the way.
The march was not very fast, and we gradually entered the mountains. Looking at the direction, we seemed to be heading towards Xiushan Tunhou Mountain.
Lu Lu followed patiently. There was no need to be too careful until Yuan Bao made a sound to remind him.
Chen Xiuqing learned his lesson and didn't say a word along the way. Like Lu Lu, he looked around and tried his best to capture the sounds and movements among the trees.
After this period of vigorous growth, many weeds and small shrubs have grown up among the originally sparse forest trees.
When walking around, there are always unavoidable touches. It is really difficult to make no noise at all.
This also greatly increases the difficulty of tracking.
Lu Lu couldn't help but miss the snow season.
Everything is withered, and thick snow covers the ground. Even the smallest wild animals can easily leave traces.
Moreover, the trees are not that dense. Although the weather is cold and the snow is thick and unbearable, it is really much easier to find prey. For this reason alone, winter is enough to become the best hunting period.
The two of them followed for more than half an hour, and Yuan Bao finally spoke out, a deep voice: "Wang!"
The lynx was not found, so it met someone first.
Lu Lu stopped and glanced in the direction Yuan Bao was paying attention to. He could not see anything due to the obstruction of the trees and the changes in the terrain.
This area is considered the back mountain of Xiushan Village. It is normal to meet someone on the mountain.
He just wanted to say hello if he was close and he was an acquaintance. Since he couldn't see the person, Lu Lu ignored him.
After patting the ingot, the two continued to search forward, and after walking for more than two hundred meters, they suddenly heard the sound of swaying branches and leaves of the forest below. It really felt like the sound of a lynx beating on the tree.
Lu Lu immediately followed the sound from the direction to see if it was a lynx. Unexpectedly, not far away, his scalp exploded.
I saw a person hanging on a crooked-necked tree below.
He was kicking his feet and struggling.
This is hanging.
I never expected that when I went up the mountain to look for lynx, I would encounter something like this.
Even Chen Xiuqing screamed when she saw that situation: "F*ck!"
Human life is at stake!
The two looked at each other and immediately ran towards the man.
Only when we got closer did we see clearly that the person hanging was Huang Caiju, the daughter-in-law of beekeeper Sun Hanwei.
The rope was tied around her neck, causing her tongue to stick out, her eyes wide open, her face full of horror, she made a gagging sound, kicked her legs, and was trying to reach out to untie the rope tied around her neck.
But this is not so easy to do.
It is easy to hang up but difficult to hang down.
As soon as Lu Lu rushed to the front, he quickly held Huang Caiju with both hands and lifted her legs up, while shouting: "Qingzi, hurry up, cut the rope."
Chen Xiuqing quickly took out the invasion knife from the hunting bag, cut the rope several times, put Huang Caiju down, and helped to untie the buckle on her neck.
This kind of buckle is very commonly used when going up and down mountains. It gets tighter and tighter, but it is not so easy to untie.
If the search direction of Yuanbao hadn't been in this direction, causing Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing to collide, Huang Caiju would have been dead in less than three minutes.
