It was a strange-looking beast with long fur. It had its head lowered and its furry tail drooped diagonally. It wasn't that big at all, its body length was no more than one meter.
Meng Zhaohua jumped aside, and the little beast suddenly arrived in front of Lu Lu, and immediately pounced on him, baring its teeth, grabbing and biting him.
At such a close distance, Lu Lu didn't even have a chance to shoot.
Shooting at your own feet is a very dangerous move.
Therefore, seeing that he was about to be caught and scratched, Lu Lu could only follow his instinct and kicked it out.
When facing danger, the instinctive reaction is the fastest and most explosive.
Lu Lu's kick immediately knocked the little beast upside down.
But it was just a turn of events, nothing serious, it was extremely solid.
It twisted its body and bit Lu Lu again, accompanied by a fishy and unpleasant smell.
Moreover, the flexibility and bursting speed were beyond Lu Lu's imagination, and he still didn't have a chance to shoot.
He kicked out unceremoniously again, but Lu Lu didn't expect that the little beast actually jumped, causing his kick to miss. It chased after him and bit Lu Lu's right foot that had not yet landed.
, biting the toe of the yellow rubber shoe and pulling hard, almost knocking Lu Lu over.
Fortunately, Lu Lu's yellow rubber shoes were often worn for hiking and were stretched a lot, so his toes were not bitten, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Lu Lu hurriedly stepped to his feet, then kicked out with his left foot violently.
In the end, it avoided it and came close to bite it again, forcing Lu Lu to jump to avoid it. He accidentally tripped over a branch lying behind him and fell backwards to the ground.
Seeing that he was about to be bitten again, Lu Lu couldn't care less. He kicked the thing with both feet and finally kicked it away again.
Meng Zhaohua jumped to the side to avoid it. The first thing he did was to pick up a cut birch tree from his feet. When it fell, it smashed to the ground and broke. A short stick as thick as an arm was used to guard against it.
Seeing Lu Lu fall down, he immediately rushed up from behind and wanted to help.
This little beast showed no fear at all. It gave up attacking Lu Lu, turned around and rushed towards Meng Zhaohua.
Meng Zhaohua was also fierce, waving the stick carelessly, forcing the little beast to jump to the side, but stared at the two of them with bared teeth, unwilling to leave.
Lu Lu had already turned over and stood up, and immediately picked up the semi-automatic machine in his hand.
He finally figured out what the ferocious little beast in front of him was.
This is clearly a wolverine, an animal that looks more like a combination of four species: wolf, badger, mink, and bear.
Wolverine is its name, and so is the mink, known as Flathead's cousin, the largest mustelid on land.
This is a beast that can steal food from wolves, fight with lynx, and hunt reindeer weighing hundreds of kilograms. Its ferocity is evident.
Lu Lu had seen a video about wolverines before and knew that a wolf alone might not be able to benefit from it if it faced it alone.
It is about the same size as a badger, and its appearance is somewhere between a mink and a bear. It is covered with long fur, especially on the abdomen and crotch, where the fur is even longer, as if it is wearing a fur skirt.
Because of this, Lu Lu preferred to call him Brother Maoqun.
Wolverine fur is rarely collected at current collection stations. Although the fur looks very long and thick, it is considered rough, of poor quality, and of little value.
But Lu Lu didn't think so.
In the past, when I was collecting mountain goods, I would receive one from time to time. Items that didn't cost me a lot of money would often come to my doorstep with well-qualified people to reserve them, so that I could keep them when they arrived. They were quite popular.
Only later did Lu Lu figure out the real reason.
Most people in the wilderness use kangs. When sitting on the kang, there is often a ball of heat under the buttocks. It is not a good thing to keep eggs hot for a long time. Therefore, most people like to spread a piece of fur on the kang to keep out the cold. Generally, they use
Dog skin.
But there is a disadvantage of dog skin. Whenever it is cloudy and rainy, it will smell fishy.
If anyone could have a wolverine pelt, it would be so high-end.
This kind of fur is tanned and spread on the kang, which is particularly insulating from the cold. Even when the temperature is very low, it can still stay soft and dry.
He handled a lot of wolverine fur, but in his previous life, Lu Lu only saw a living creature once when he was buying furs in the Daxingan Mountains, and it ran on the road in front of the car.
But I didn't expect that I would see him so close to his own meadow in this life, and he would see him in a sneak attack.
Probably the most valuable thing about wolverines is the oil produced by the fat on its body, which is also badger oil. It is better than badger oil in treating burns. More than ten years ago, it was already quite valuable.
A jar of wolverine oil costs more than an average farm worker earns in a month.
The wolverine in front of him was less than twenty kilograms in size, but it was such a thing, but it dared to directly attack two large living people passing by. This was something Lu Lu had never thought of.
This time Lu Lu experienced it personally, and he had to admit that it was really fierce!
This place is now between Lu Lu's Caodianzi and Zhao Yongke's Caodianzi. In the past three days, he has been leading Yuanbao and the others to search for wild boars and blind bears in this mountain wilderness. In this forest with many birches, Lu Lu
When Lu went home these days, she walked past it at least three times.
But Yuanbao's cleverness has never been discovered!
Did he just come?
"Fuck, you're looking for death!"
Being forced to run around by such a little thing, his toes were almost bitten and he even fell down. Looking at the two bite holes on his yellow rubber shoes, Lu Lu felt annoyed and couldn't help but cursed secretly.
Pulling the semi-automatic trigger, the wolverine fell to the ground with the sound of the gunshot.
With the ferocity of this thing, being so close to his meadow, it was a big threat to the deer and the deer kept there.
This is something that can kill reindeer, so it must not be left behind!
Besides, whether it's fur or oil, they are both very valuable things.
After killing the wolverine, Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and patted the dirt on his butt.
"Brother Lu, what is this?" Meng Zhaohua asked curiously.
Not to mention Meng Zhaohua, not many people who often go hunting in the mountains have seen this thing, because there are not many wolverines distributed in the Northeast.
"You bitch!"
Lu Lu gave a very authentic name from the Northeast.
"You weren't hurt just now, were you?" Meng Zhaohua asked worriedly.
Lu Lu was really embarrassed by the wolverine just now. He could have solved it with one shot, but unfortunately Meng Zhaohua missed the opportunity and let the wolverine get so close.
"It's okay!"
Lu Lu shook his head and walked towards the wolverine.
Meng Zhaohua also followed, but when he got in front of him, he frowned and quickly covered his nose: "It stinks!"
Lu Lu laughed: "These local dogs, like weasels, also emit stink. They also like to smear their bodies with urine, which of course stinks. Not only that, they will also use urine to smear the hidden food.
superior."
Hearing this, Meng Zhaohua couldn't help grinning and said in disgust: "This is too dirty!"
"With the smell, other wild animals will not be able to bite it, so they will not eat the things it hides. Moreover, its urine also has a preservative effect on meat, so it can be hidden for a longer period of time."
Lu Lu was talking about what he knew about wolverines, but he was sighing in his heart: All living things have a way to survive. Smearing urine on food and giving yourself a urine bath are such unique tricks that only wolves can do.
That's what badgers do.
He turned his head and looked carefully at the place where the wolverine was hiding, and finally understood why he was attacked.
One of someone's piglets was bitten to death. After half of it was eaten, it was hidden under the trunks of some dry birch trees.
Lu Lu estimated that when the two of them passed by, they were thought to be trying to steal food, so they launched a brazen attack.
Unlike Meng Zhaohua, this wolverine was just a few bills to Lu Lu. The smell was nothing, so he carried it back.
Back at Caodianzi, Lu Lu threw the wolverine's carcass into the open space in front of the cellar. The dogs that had been following him thought it was for them and immediately pounced on it, only to be stung by the smell.
Stay away immediately.
Chen Xiuyu came out of the house to welcome it, and the three lynx cubs following it also approached the wolverine carcass. After a sniff, they turned around and walked away.
"Brother Lu...what does this smell like?" Chen Xiuyu smelled it as soon as she got close to Lu Lu.
It wasn't that smelly originally, but after being kicked twice by Lu Lu and the wolverine releasing the stink, it was a bit tolerable.
Lu Lu didn't say anything, just smiled: "Go back to the house and cut some big claw gall for Brother Meng!"
Lu Lu couldn't bear to give them all away at once.
There are only a few of these big claws in the entire wilderness, and they are not killed just when they want, which makes the pain points of the big claws rarer than bear bile.
Chen Xiuyu naturally understood what Lu Lu meant, so she went back to the house, came back quickly, returned a small piece, and handed it to Meng Zhaohua.
"Don't look at me young. This is enough for ten or eight times. If it works and you still need it, come back to me!" Lu Lu said with a smile.
Meng Zhaohua also knew how precious this thing was, so he smiled at Lu Lu and said, "Brother Lu, let me thank you for my sister first... If you have anything to do in the future, please feel free to call me. I'll go back and get busy!"
"Yeah!"
Lu Lu nodded and watched Chen Xiuyu send Meng Zhaohua out of the fence gate and return. Then he smiled to Chen Xiuyu and said, "You asked me just now what the smell is, and I tell you, it's the smell of money."
Chen Xiuyu rolled her eyes at Lu Lu.
"The oil produced by this thing is valuable, but isn't it just bad money? Look, Yuanbao, the others, and the three lynx cubs don't want to get close to it."
Lu Lu paused and continued: "As for this skin, the buying station won't accept it, but it's still a good thing. I plan to use it for our children to sit on and keep out the cold."
When she mentioned the child, Chen Xiuyu was slightly startled and her expression became serious: "Brother Lu, do you think I won't give birth? Why don't you get any reaction at all?"
"That's nonsense. Did someone say something to you? I'm telling you, if anyone dares to say that to you, just go up and give him a bad mouthful."
Lu Lu knew very well whether Chen Xiuyu could give birth.
Of course, he knew better how important it was to a woman to be able to have children these days. If word like that spread out, the impact would be considerable.
Lu Lu didn't want Chen Xiuyu to have too much psychological burden.
"No one has said it... but it's been so long..." Chen Xiuyu looked a little worried.
Lu Lu also looked serious: "Are you ready to have a child?"
"Yeah!" Chen Xiuyu nodded.
"Okay, let's work hard and we'll get there!"
Lu Lu nodded: "Go and get the invasion knife from my hunting bag."
The stink of wolverine was stained on his hands, and Lu Lu didn't want to get it everywhere.
Chen Xiuyu quickly went back and took back the knife. Lu Lu endured the stench, hung up the wolverine by its hind legs, and began to skin it.
This was just a wolverine less than one meter long. With Lu Lu's increasingly proficient skinning skills, it only took about twenty minutes to finish.
Throwing the fur aside, Lu Lu washed his hands with soap, then opened the wolverine's intestines and cut off the odor glands. Then he removed the fat and oil and gave it to Chen Xiuyu to burn the oil.
The remaining meat was fed directly to dogs and lynxes by Lu Lu.
Lu Lu had eaten the meat of this thing once. It was quite unpalatable and had nothing to do with the word "delicious". Besides, this was an animal that was very good at eating carrion, so he had no idea of using it for eating.
