Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuqing and smiled, then looked at the horse he was riding.
Killing these jackals is a long story, but in fact, it only takes about two minutes from the moment the shot is fired to the end.
Chen Xiuqing only fired two shots to kill two jackals at the beginning. After that, he was carried by his frightened horse and ran around like he was running for his life, and rushed directly into the woods.
This farmer's horse, used for hunting, is completely different from Zhao Yongke's Oroqen horse and Lu Lu's Zhuifeng horse.
Zhao Yongke's Oroqen horse performed best. It seemed to be frightened, but it was actually a way of fighting when it was surrounded by jackals.
This is a herbivore. Even when fighting, the only moves it can use are stepping and kicking. The fighting method is single, but it is worthy of praise for daring to fight against carnivorous beasts.
Lu Lu's Zhui Feng was also a little panicked and wanted to run away, but he was able to control it at least. During the two laps running around the outside of the jackals, it was obvious that it was adapting quickly, even if Lu Lu jumped from its back in the end.
When I came down and fired at the group of jackals, it didn't run away.
And compared to Zhao Yongke's Oroqen horse, Chai Feng has two biggest advantages: smooth running and fast speed.
Because of its fast speed, those jackals quickly gave up chasing the wind and became safe after finding that it was not easy to catch up.
And stability gave Lu Lu a better opportunity to perform.
To put it into detail, in this battle, twenty-six jackals died, and Lu Lu alone shot half of them.
"Qingzi, if you don't lack that little money now, go and buy an Oroqen horse. When hunting, it will be better than this horse used to plow fields and pull carts."
Seeing that Chen Xiuqing was at a loss because she had not been able to help him, Lu Lu couldn't help but comfort him.
In the mountains, the Oroqen horse is more practical, crossing mountains and ridges, climbing over ridges. At this point, the Oroqen horse is much better than chasing the wind.
"Brother Zhao, if you have time, please buy one for me!"
After listening to Lu Lu's suggestion, Chen Xiuqing immediately looked at Zhao Yongke and spoke decisively. He believed that Zhao Yongke, as an Oroqen native, must know Oroqen horses best.
"This is a small matter. When I get back from this trip, when I have time, I will take you to Jiayin and help you pick a horse back. I happen to know someone who raises horses." Zhao Yongke agreed wholeheartedly.
"Buy one for me too!" Lu Lu also said.
"Aren't you chasing the wind? Why did you buy it?" Zhao Yongke asked puzzledly.
Lu Lu smiled and said: "Xiuyu of mine can't ride Zhui Feng, so I have to buy her another one. It's easy to ride. She is very envious of Sister-in-law Unakan's ability to ride a horse."
Hearing this, Zhao Yongke also laughed: "Okay, when I go to buy it, I will help you pick one back."
After saying this, Zhao Yongke's eyes once again fell on the jackal corpses around him.
Looking at the results of the battle in front of him, Zhao Yongke looked at Lu Lu with strange eyes.
This reminded him of the last time he shot Big Claw in the mountains. Three people shot, but he was the only one who missed the target. Of course, his performance was affected by the worry that Unakan would become the prey of Big Claw. At that time, he also felt that if he didn't
Even if he is affected, he can do it.
Fighting these jackals today completely changed his mind.
This my own Arma's apprentice has a composure far beyond his years, and the accuracy of his marksmanship is far superior to his.
Especially when he took a quick glance and saw Lu Lu holding a semi-automatic with one hand and still able to easily shoot a jackal, he was even more impressed.
This was a technique he had never thought of, and it was definitely not taught by Zhao Tuanqing.
"Take the time to teach me how to use a semi-automatic method with one hand!"
Zhao Yongke looked at Lu Lu seriously: "I never thought that a gun could be used like this."
"Use semi-automatic with one hand..." Chen Xiuqing was slightly startled after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Lu, teach me too, I want to learn too."
Although I didn't see Lu Lu shooting a jackal with one hand, but since even Zhao Yongke wanted to learn it, how could Chen Xiuqing miss it.
"I'll tell you tonight!"
Lu Lu nodded and agreed: "Now, we have to deal with these jackals."
"Why do you want this thing? We have hunted it before. The purchasing station didn't accept it because the fur was rough, and the meat didn't taste good, so we just threw it away!" Zhao Yongke said with disgust.
"The collection station won't accept it, so let's take it back and get a mattress, cushions, etc. It's still very good! Many people want it but can't get it."
Lu Lu couldn't bear to waste it: "Most of them are just bullet holes, which are still intact. It would be nice to take them back and give them away."
Zhao Yongke nodded slightly after hearing this, took the hunting knife and walked aside, and began to skin a jackal.
Chen Xiuqing also took out the invasion knife and went to help.
Lu Lu walked towards the six dogs who were lying on the side constantly licking their wounds. He inspected the dogs carefully, starting with the Yuan Bao, and took out the medicines from the hunting bags to disinfect them and stop the bleeding.
The six dogs attracted several jackals. Faced with so many jackals that were more sensitive than them, they were a little overwhelmed and had some bite wounds and scratches on their bodies. Fortunately, it was not a big problem.
However, looking at the wounds on the necks, bellies, and buttocks of several dogs, Lu Lu also frowned.
Each wild animal has its own attack method.
The big claws like to bite the neck, and the powerful bite force can directly break the bones and be fatal.
Lynx like to choke, and can easily handle wild animals that are several times larger than themselves.
The provocation of wild boars is often on the chest and abdomen.
It's better to face a medium-sized beast like a jackal. If it were another beast, it would easily be fatal in one fell swoop.
Lu Lu wondered whether he should get some protective equipment for these hunting dogs, at least to protect the fatal parts.
The first thing he thought of was the military dog uniform vest or protective vest that he often saw in his previous life, but when he thought about it carefully, it didn't have to be that complicated. Protecting the neck, chest, abdomen and back can save his life in critical situations, even in the woods.
When walking through and fighting wild animals, you will be less likely to be scratched by thorns and low branches.
The more Lu Lu thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary.
Moreover, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing, just like putting on a set of sturdy clothes for dogs.
It's just that the material must be strong and flexible, and it should have good resistance to tearing, bites and penetration... He didn't have any good ideas at the moment.
Well, I have to think about it carefully!
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lu Lu squatting next to some dogs with a strange expression, Zhao Yongke, who had brought jackal meat to feed the dogs, asked aloud: "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Lu was slightly startled when his train of thought was suddenly interrupted. He looked up at Zhao Yongke and smiled: "I remembered some little things... By the way, Brother Zhao, can this cowhide be tanned?"
“What do you do with tanning cowhide?”
Zhao Yongke was stunned when asked.
"I want to use the tanned cowhide to make some protective vests for several dogs to protect their vital parts and prevent scratches!"
Lu Lu thought here for a long time. Without the synthetic materials of later generations, when it came to making protective vests for dogs, the first thing he thought of was leather.
He had worked with fur a lot in his previous life. Although he didn't know anything about tanning, he still knew a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of leather.
The first thing he thought of was pig skins, which were easier for him to get.
Pig leather has good breathability and water permeability, is wear-resistant, and is tough. It sounds very good. Unfortunately, pig leather does not have a mesh layer, so the leather is not thick and has poor protective capabilities... ruled out!
Then, he thought about horsehide and sheepskin, but in the end he found that cowhide seemed to be a better choice. It was thick, flexible, and strong. It was the best material for making suede shoes for dogs.
Protective vest, very good!
The biggest problem is that cattle are important livestock for farming. Generally, farmers will not slaughter the cattle unless they are too old and need to be culled. There seems to be no breeding farms nearby... But as long as they can be tanned well, Lu Lu feels that they can still make a lot of money by spending a little money.
Easy to get.
If it doesn't work, go to the buying station and ask. They also buy the skins of these animals. Go to the district and ask Wu Biao, who is peddling guns at the buying station every day, to see someone selling cowhide.
It's okay to help pay a slightly higher price to buy two.
Zhao Yongke looked a little surprised after hearing Lu Lu's idea, but he soon laughed: "Now I understand somewhat why Yuanbao brought the puppies to hang out with you... You are a good master. Cowhide can
For tanning, you can just get the cowhide and bring it over."
Lu Lu suddenly laughed.
He began to wonder what Yuanbao and the others would look like wearing protective vests.
He took the jackal meat sent by Zhao Yongke and fed it to the six dogs.
There are so many jackals here, they can eat them hard in a short time.
Lu Lu then took a hunting knife and helped skin the jackals.
Including those who were kicked to death by Zhui Feng and those shot by Chen Xiuqing, there were twenty-eight in total, which was a lot of work.
It was so busy that everyone only peeled two or three of them.
In the evening, I still ate steamed buns, ate wild boar meat, and drank mushroom soup.
During the meal, Lu Lu arranged: "There is so much flesh and blood in the meadow, and it is easy to attract wild animals. At night, we have to be careful to protect it and take turns to keep vigil."
Neither Zhao Yongke nor Chen Xiuqing have any opinions on this point.
I don't know if it was because of the strong smell of blood, but it was surprisingly quiet that night.
When several people continued to peel the skin in the morning, they only saw that the meat had been bitten by some small animals such as mice.
After another busy morning, they finally peeled off all the skins and hung them in the surrounding woods to dry. As for the meat, except for leaving some to feed the dogs, the other three were sent to distant places in a carriage.
Throw it into the woods.
I am not sure how long I will stay here. Such a big pile of meat is also a disaster. It is hot and can easily stink.
On the second day after entering the mountain, all the time was spent dealing with the jackals. This was something that few of them had thought of. Now that the crisis was finally over, they could finally look for traces of deer and deer with peace of mind.
In the afternoon, Chen Xiuqing was still asked to take care of the tents and horses. In the area of Xiaoleizi where mountains, rocks and trees were mixed, even Zhao Yongke's Oroqen horse had some difficulty walking, so he simply left the horses in the meadow to graze.
Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke led the dogs towards Xiaoleizi Mountain.
Maybe after the bad luck passed, good luck followed. Not long after the two arrived on the mountain, Lu Lu could smell the strange smell of musk. It didn't take long to find the area where the forest musk deer defecated.
