After three shots, Yuanbao and Bailong stopped barking.
Most wild animals are very sensitive to the sound of gunfire, even big paws will be scared when hearing the sound of gunfire.
However, there is no sound at all in the large mountains and forests surrounding it, which makes it intuitively unusual.
Chen Xiuqing, like the two of them, looked around. Compared to Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke, he didn't have any special feelings. He was more baffled by what they were doing.
Why are you firing a blank gun for no reason?
But he believed that it was reasonable for them to do this, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lu, what's going on? Why can't I understand?"
"I just feel something is wrong. I don't know what it is. Maybe we are overthinking it!"
Lu Lu looked at him and smiled, squatting down and continuing to handle the wild animals in his hands: "We can't eat much of this meat. Qingzi, you are responsible for serving the pot this time. You can handle the meat in the afternoon so that you don't have to spend time beating it."
Meat."
They came here for the deer and the deer, and Lu Lu didn't want to spend too much energy on this trivial matter.
Moreover, intuitively, things are not clear at all.
"good!"
Chen Xiuqing agreed to Lu Lu's arrangement without even thinking about it.
For him, it was a happy thing that Lu Lu could lead him into the mountains together.
Because you can always learn a lot in the process.
Not only can he learn things from Lu Lu, but he can also learn a lot from those who associate with Lu Lu. Zhao Tuanqing, Zhao Yongke, Liang Pao, who he once wanted to be his disciple, is not great.
He is now setting traps, pinching, etc. He has learned a lot during these years of following Lu Lu, and he has also practiced his marksmanship to a certain level. He can also hit wild boars and some small animals when he encounters them.
This time to protect Qiu, he trapped several small beasts by himself, and even shot three wild boars with his own hands, which in the eyes of many people was already quite powerful.
Probably for this reason, when many people in the village saw him, they were no longer as indifferent as before and did not take him seriously. When they met, many more people took the initiative to say hello.
But Chen Xiuqing knew very well that she was still far behind, and she only had one thought in her mind: to follow Lu Lu well, even if it was just to do some chores and help with a little help. Besides, Lu Lu had never treated him badly.
And this kind of honest and honest nature that never chirps is also the reason why Lu Lu likes to lead Chen Xiuqing.
At the very least, it's easy to get along with.
It took more than an hour to finish processing these prey.
Zhao Yongke took over and cooked the meat. According to him, the wild boar at this time has more lean meat and less fat meat. It is the most suitable time to cook it and eat it in large pieces.
Oroqen hunters walking in the mountains always ate meat and drank wine in bowls. The way they ate seemed a bit rough, but Lu Lu could also appreciate a different kind of unrestrainedness from it.
He just asked Chen Xiuqing to save some pork belly to roast and eat at night.
The six dogs had not seen meat for a long time. When the three of them were handling these wild animals, they gathered around them and barked from time to time. They were extremely anxious, as if they were afraid that Lu Lu would not give them food, and kept reminding them.
Lu Lu smiled and looked at these "nonsense" dogs and threw the wild boar into the water to them. After they ate the water, he cut some meat and fed it to them respectively.
This was in the mountains, and there were things to do in the afternoon, so Lu Lu only fed them half full.
While the meat was being cooked, Chen Xiuqing took the opportunity to wander around the surrounding woods for a while and brought back some mushrooms and fungus. After taking out the meat, she cooked the mushrooms directly in the meat soup.
Eating roasted yellow steamed buns, nibbling meat, and drinking mushroom soup, the three of them all had a very comfortable meal.
After eating and drinking, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke rested in the shade. Chen Xiuqing was not idle. He cut the wild boar meat into small pieces and then put them on the fire for simple smoking. They didn't know where they came from in the mountains.
Blow flies were swarming around the meat, forcing him to take action in advance.
The place we want to go is still quite far away from here, and the carriage cannot reach it, so someone must guard the tent.
If everyone left, the food left here would be easily destroyed by wild animals.
This is the reason why Lu Lu left Chen Xiuqing to guard him.
"Qingzi, just wait here with peace of mind, don't wander around... remember, never leave your gun!"
After resting for a while, Lu Lu put a hunting net in his hunting bag and called Zhao Yongke. The two picked up the semi-automatic and rode their respective horses upstream along the river valley.
Before leaving, Lu Lu, who felt uneasy, gave a special instruction.
Chen Xiuqing responded and directly slung the semi-automatic on her body.
Lu Lu smiled with satisfaction and rode Zhuifeng to catch up with Zhao Yongke who was waiting in front.
The steeper mountains and deep valleys make this a difficult journey.
It was also on this road that Lu Lu once again experienced the benefits of Oroqen horses.
There were many places where Lu Lu needed to go around on Zhuifeng, but Zhao Yongke could easily pass through them on horseback.
Although it seems to be bumpy and unstable, it is really dexterous to walk among rotten trees and rocks.
This made Lu Ludu wonder whether he should get an Oroqen horse to keep. This kind of horse is docile and easier for Chen Xiuyu to ride, so that she would not be able to control Zhui Feng and become too angry.
However, after the two of them had walked less than a mile, Yuan Bao made a sound again.
Even the Oroqen horses ridden by Lu Lu and Zhui Feng and Zhao Yongke seemed a little frightened, shaking their heads and refusing to move forward.
Very unusual reaction.
Lu Lu suddenly became cautious. He reached out and patted Zhui Feng's neck to comfort him, and Zhui Feng calmed down.
Zhao Yongke, who was in front, also looked back: "It's strange, what is it? Why is it so evil? Big claws?"
Lu Lu shook his head slightly, turned over and dismounted: "Impossible, there are so many big claws in this mountain, they are not that afraid of Yuanbao!"
The ferocious sound Yuan Bao made was similar to the sound he made in the tent just now, and was not particularly ferocious. However, Lu Lu was also curious as to what kind of wild animal made the horse react like this.
"Help me watch Zhui Feng, I'll go take a look!"
Lu Lu tied Zhui Feng's reins to a nearby tree, said something to Zhao Yongke, held the semi-automatic, and led Yuan Bao and the others into the forest.
"Be careful!"
Zhao Yongke also dismounted, tied the horse to a tree, picked up the semi-automatic in his hand, and looked around carefully.
Lu Lu walked carefully in the forest, choosing as wide a place as possible to avoid touching the branches and leaves of the trees. He kept sneaking in for more than two hundred meters when a strange cry came from the trees in front of him.
It feels like a barking dog.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, the shrill howl came from far away, and it looked very sad.
There was obviously only one voice, but it gave Lu Lu the illusion of one after another.
While Lu Lu was thinking about what animal was making the noise, Yuan Bao suddenly barked to the side.
He quickly turned around and looked.
More than thirty meters away, the trees were shaking, and a wild animal with a pointed mouth and pointed ears, which looked like a fox but was much larger than a fox and smaller than a wolf, quickly scurried into the depths with its tail between its legs.
in the woods.
Seeing that Yuan Bao was about to chase him, Lu Lu quickly hugged him.
What the hell is this?
Lu Lu frowned, this was something he had never seen in his previous life.
Like a wolf but not a wolf, like a fox but not a fox, somewhere in between.
But no matter how you look at it, it's not something easy to get along with.
He was discovered by Yuan Bao only after he was more than 30 meters away. His whereabouts were very mysterious.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Lu Lu is now in the upper wind. The mountain breeze from time to time, although not big, has a big impact.
Yuan Bao discovered something, probably because he heard their calls rather than smelling them.
Lu Lu didn't want to provoke him, so he called Yuan Bao and retreated.
"What is it?"
Seeing Lu Lu coming back, Zhao Yongke asked quickly.
Lu Lu told him about the little beast he saw. Seeing Zhao Yongke's expression becoming solemn, Lu Lu couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
"This is what you Han people call a jackal."
Zhao Yongke glanced at Lu Lu: "It's rare in the mountains. I suspect this thing was following us last night... This thing is really powerful."
Jackal?
Lu Lu was stunned for a moment. It was something rarely seen in the wilderness. He had occasionally heard old people talking about it before, and even mentioned it in the lyrics. But Lu Lu had never seen the real thing. It felt more like a legendary thing, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
not much.
However, even Zhao Yongke said it was awesome, so Lu Lu had to pay great attention to it.
"Tell me about it!" Lu Lu took the opportunity to ask, but he never put down the gun in his hand and looked around carefully.
"Let's talk about it after we go back. Qingzi is staying alone by the tent. If he is targeted by a jackal, something might happen."
Zhao Yongke said something, got on his horse, flicked the reins, turned around and walked back.
Nothing is more important than safety, so Lu Lu didn't hesitate, so he got on Zhui Feng and headed back.
After a while, the two of them came out of the woods one after the other and walked onto the grass on the river beach.
"Brother Lu, Brother Zhao, why are you back just now?" Chen Xiuqing, who came back holding some pine branches, asked strangely.
He returned in less than twenty minutes, and he didn't think the matter would be completed so quickly.
"I met a jackal on the road!"
Lu Lu said simply, turned over and jumped off Zhui Feng's back, walked straight to the edge of the tent and sat down: "I'm worried that something will happen to you here."
Chen Xiuqing threw some pine branches into the fire. The smoke from the fire became larger, and he also came over.
After sitting down next to Zhao Yongke, Lu Lu asked: "Is it really that powerful?"
"I grew up in the mountains and have only seen him twice."
Zhao Yongke glanced at the surrounding raccoon slaves from time to time: "Don't look at it because it is small, but it is more fierce than a wolf. It can not only bite, but also has sharp claws. Moreover, it is quite cunning and vengeful. The first time I saw it, it was three jackals in the snow.
Hunting and killing a cannon egg weighing more than 200 kilograms in the field."
"Just a little thing of about thirty kilograms, hunting more than two hundred kilograms of cannon eggs..."
Lu Lu felt a little incredible.
"There are ice shells on the snow. Cannon Egg is heavy and has small hooves. When he walks in the snow, his legs and feet sink deep into the snow, and they are not as flexible as usual. The three jackals chased after him and they bit him no matter how many times.
The cannon balls were bitten so hard that there were wounds all over the body, and the back of the butt was even bitten badly.
Unlike wolves and dogs like you, jackals can take out the intestines of wild boars in just a few strokes. Although they also attack the back door, their mouths are sharp and they can only take out a little bit of meat after taking a big bite and tearing it apart.
I saw with my own eyes that the cannon egg was finally exhausted by the torture, and it just lay down on the snow, neither running nor barking, and just let the three jackals tear at its butt and eat it. When it was full, the cannon left.
The egg is not dead yet, and it took more than half an hour for it to die."
Zhao Yongke glanced around and whispered.
Hearing these words, Lu Lu's face couldn't help but tremble. It was like an ant twisting an elephant. It would be better to be bitten to death than to be pinched to death. For that gun egg, it was probably a process that would be worse than death.
Chen Xiuqing's face changed again and again when she heard this: "How cruel!"
