While Chen Xiuyu was busy making breakfast, Lu Lu went to the field with a kitchen knife to chop cabbage, removing the roots and old leaves while chopping.
Although there wasn't much snow, it was freezing cold when my hands touched it. Soon I would be so stiff that I could only hold on and continue. If I couldn't bear it anymore, I would rub my hands vigorously or go to the kang stove for a while.
Bake for a while.
He couldn't bear to use the pair of roe deer leather gloves specially made for hunting.
I have a few pairs of other canvas gloves at home, but if I put them on my hands and come into contact with the ice and snow, they will get soaked in a short time, so they are of little use.
When Chen Xiuyu was cooking, all the cabbage had been chopped off by Lu Lu, and the removed leaves were carried in baskets and pockets and sent deep into the meadow, where they were scattered on the grass.
Deer and deer will also eat these things, including two horses, so they can't be wasted.
After finishing the meal, the couple continued to pull up the cabbage and other green leafy vegetables from the vegetable field. After a little processing, they sent them to the cellar. Lu Lu went down the ladder to the cellar and sorted the vegetables handed over by Chen Xiuyu into categories in the cellar.
Stack them up.
It wasn't a lot of work, and after working on it for more than two hours, it was completely done.
Later, Lu Lu rode Zhuifeng to Chen Xiuqing's house. This guy was still wielding a big ax on the wooden pier in the yard to chop firewood. He was sweating even in the cold weather and was steaming.
"Qingzi, lend me the carriage for a while. I'll go to the district to buy some vegetables and come back to stock up."
As soon as Lu Lu arrived outside the hospital, he directly explained his intention.
"Shopping for groceries? What do you want to buy?"
Chen Xiuqing's family, in addition to the fields where they grow corn and rice, also has a private plot of their own, in which they grow a lot of miscellaneous things. In addition to cabbage, green onions, and radishes, they also grow a lot of pumpkins and kidney beans in the fields.
and soybeans, he is not short of vegetables.
Unlike here in Lu Lu, the fields received have been planted, and there is nothing else except some soybeans.
The vegetable plot in Caodianzi was cultivated by Chen Xiuyu only after she got married. The season has passed and nothing else can be planted.
"There's a lot to buy, but the cellar is still empty. There's always something to eat this winter!"
Lu Lu followed Chen Xiuqing and walked in when he opened the courtyard door.
Chen Xiuqing thought for a moment: "I'll go too, see if there's anything missing, and buy some too!"
He quickly made a decision, said hello to Ma Jinlan who was picking up firewood and putting it on the firewood pile, got on the carriage and followed Lu Lu.
Chen Xiuqing also went, so Lu Lu would have much less trouble.
These days, most of the vegetables are grown on the private plots of each family, and many families also use this time to sell the vegetables they grow for some money.
It is precisely for this reason that there are many people selling vegetables in the area.
Choosing the ones with good quality and reasonable prices, Lu Lu went all the way and bought a lot. He carried bags of things to the car. Chen Xiuqing led the carriage and followed behind Lu Lu. He bought some when he saw what he needed.
How long did it take for the carriage to be fully loaded?
Both of their families have a small population, but they can't stand the long winter, even if they don't stock up.
What Lu Lu thought about the most was Chen Xiuyu. She was pregnant with a child and needed a lot of nutrients, so she bought a lot of varieties.
After you finish shopping, go back to Caodianzi and put the things that should be put into the warehouse into the warehouse, and the things that should be put into the cellar into the cellar.
At this time, Lu Lu would certainly not let go of the opportunity to summon Chen Xiuqing, and asked Chen Xiuyu to go home and cook dinner, with Chen Xiuqing helping to finish the work.
By the time I put all the dishes away, it was already evening.
Chen Xiuqing wanted to buy less things. He was not in a hurry and did not want to miss the opportunity to have a meal. He waited until the meal was over before going back.
Lu Lu took the time to go to Caodianzi and saw that the vegetable leaves scattered in Caodianzi in the morning had been picked up. He patrolled along the fence and returned to the bee farm.
The weather was cold and gloomy, and the black bees had been coming in and out when the weather was sunny. In this case, they all got up.
Lu Lu thought for a while, he still couldn't go into the mountain tomorrow, he had to deal with the matters in the bee farm.
The next day, the couple brought a lot of straw, tied the beehive with thick straw, laid nylon bags on the beehive to prevent snow and keep warm, adjusted the entrance of the hive door to a small size, only big enough for one bee to enter and exit, and placed
A black cloth was placed at the door to block light.
As long as the swarm is strong enough and there is enough honey powder in the hive, the black bees' ability to withstand the cold is quite impressive.
They can survive the winter safely in tree holes, stone caves or earthen caves in the wild. Lu Lu believed that his swarms of pretty good bees would have no problem. He simply saved himself the trouble of putting the swarms in the warehouse.
Sometimes, it's healthier to be outside in the cold.
The reason why we use black cloth to block the light at the entrance of the nest is purely to prevent these black bees from flying around when the sun comes out.
In winter in the wilderness, the earth is completely white, and even though the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly, the temperature is still very low.
If these black bees fly out and run around, they may die outside within a short time.
Also, the occasional rise in temperature will cause black bees to come out. This thing is good for everything, but it is too stealing. There are no flowers and plants outside, so they will follow the smell to steal honey from other beehives, which will be another chaotic battle.
When things get serious, it's very common for the whole place to turn into a mess.
The purpose of shading is to make them think it is dark and stay in the beehive safely.
After all these things are done, it’s another day.
Look at the weather again, it's so cold and cold, that is, at night, just sprinkle some broken snow on it, but it doesn't mean it will rain heavily or thickly.
On the third day, Lu Lu, who was free, could finally enter the mountain.
When Chen Xiuyu got up in the morning, while Chen Xiuyu was busy cooking, Lu Luze took out the collars, called Yuanbao and the others to him, and put them on one by one.
It is convenient to make the collar adjustable and tight. Find the appropriate hole, click the teeth into it, and just tighten the small screw.
Lu Lu also put protective vests on Yuanbao and others.
Lu Lu had worn them for a few days before, and had become accustomed to the feeling of wearing a protective vest on his body. When Lu Lu played with them, he no longer dodged as before, but stood obediently in front of Lu Lu, and from time to time
He tilted his head and licked Lu Lu.
After finishing the equipment and having breakfast, Lu Lu took out the semi-automatic, strapped on the ammunition pouches, and put on leggings for the first time, otherwise the whooshing cold wind would rush straight into his trouser legs, which would be an uncomfortable feeling.
Riding Zhui Feng, leading Yuan Bao and five puppies, Lu Lu traveled through mountains and ridges, this time going nearly thirty kilometers deep.
As before, we chose to walk through the mountains and valleys where the needles and broads are mixed. The purpose of going to the ridges was to see the activities of the sables, and to the valleys, it was to detect the traces of the blind bear.
Wherever you pass, you can occasionally see sables jumping on the branches and escaping quickly in the forest.
However, this thing is quite smart. As long as it detects the slightest disturbance from a distance, it will immediately run away without giving it a chance to get closer.
Lu Lu could only think about taking care of them when the heavy snow closed the mountains.
This time, in the valley, he saw two more places with traces of blind bear activity.
One place is in the cave under the stone tiles on the halfway slope. There are traces of the blind bear expanding the entrance of the cave and digging away the soil.
The space in the cave is not small, but from the outside, it looks dark inside.
There were no traces in the shallow snow. The hole had been dug after the weather turned cold, but it had not been touched since it started snowing.
Lu Lu didn't think they went into hibernation so early. It was possible that Blind Bear was just looking for a suitable cave. Yuan Bao sniffed at the entrance of the cave, but there was no reaction, which was enough to confirm that Blind Bear was not inside.
He peeled off a piece of bark from a birch tree nearby. Birch bark is rich in oil and is very flammable and can be easily ignited.
I used firelight to look inside and found that the cave was four to five meters deep. It was quite spacious and could accommodate two or three people. It had been cleaned up very well. It looked like it was very possible to move in.
After writing down this location, Lu Lu continued to search in the mountains. After searching for more than two hours, he found another trace of the blind bear's activities on the gentle slope of the valley.
It was on a big poplar tree. There were very fresh paw prints of Blind Bear on the trunk. Seven or eight meters above the ground, a hole was dug out. The hole in the tree was not big enough for Blind Bear to drill through.
Go in.
There are still messy footprints of Blind Bear on the withered weeds and shallow snow around the big poplar tree.
Lu Lu picked up a stone from the side and knocked it on the tree trunk. He found that the sound of the knocking changed at a position more than one meter above the ground, and he knew that this was the bottom of the tree hole.
It's a good location.
The footprints left behind look fresh, they are from today.
On the thin snow, the direction in which the blind bear left could be seen, and Lu Lu became interested for a moment. It would be great if he could get rid of it at this time.
Not only do you have the courage of a bear, but you also get a good body of oil. Now is the time when Blind Bear is at his strongest.
He called Zhui Feng and followed the footprints to find him.
Unexpectedly, after following for more than ten minutes, Yuanbao and Bailong almost simultaneously let out fierce roars toward the valley diagonally below. Heizui also stepped forward at this time, screaming fiercely, along with the green wolf and the black tiger.
The tigers and leopards also raised their heads and looked diagonally downward.
Several dogs reacted very strongly. This was the first time this happened.
Hearing this murderous sound, Lu Lu began to wonder what it was? A big claw?
Lu Lu's expression became solemn, and he immediately jumped off Zhui Feng's back, put the slingshot in his pocket, and took off the semi-automatic he was carrying. As soon as he turned on the safety, he heard the sound of trees shaking violently in the valley.
.
In just a few breaths, seven or eight wild boars jumped out.
What's going on? Are you being chased by something?
Lu Lu was shocked!
Seeing that they had no intention of turning, Yuanbao and the others immediately started barking. Lu Lu didn't have time to think about it. If they were to rush over, it would be okay. He immediately put the gun to his face and pulled the trigger decisively.
With a bang, the female wild boar running at the front fell to the ground and was trampled by several wild boars following closely behind.
It was precisely because of the sound of gunfire and the barking of dogs that these wild boars seemed to suddenly wake up. Several smaller wild boars immediately turned around and ran towards the hillside on the left. However, two cannonballs weighing two to three hundred kilograms were slightly stunned.
Finally, he rushed towards Lu Lu frantically.
How could Lu Lu let them run rampant and pull the trigger twice in succession, knocking over the cannon egg that was slightly behind.
The one running at the front was already facing Yuanbao and the others who were rushing towards them. It was difficult to shoot. Lu Lu could only continue to hold the gun and look for the opportunity to kill.
The cannon egg is also fierce. When it meets Yuan Bao, it lowers its head during the collision and is ready to challenge at any time.
Yuanbao was experienced and faced the collision, so he jumped to the side early, but the green wolf that rushed after him jumped to the side when Yuanbao jumped to the side and the cannon egg crashed in front of him, but it also jumped to the side.
He couldn't avoid it in time and was sent flying by the cannon egg.
Lu Lu was shocked when he saw this scene.
Lu Lu couldn't allow Lu Lu to think too much, and the cannon egg kept rushing towards him. After running a few steps, Yuan Bao, who had already come around, bit the egg follicle and held it back.
The other pups swarmed up, either digging at the back door or biting the tail. Cannonball couldn't find a place to bite behind his butt, so he went directly to the back legs and armpits to greet him. The green wolf that was lifted up just landed on the ground.
Then he immediately stood up and quickly joined the battle group.
Is Green Wolf okay?
Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, and then his heart became happy.
With so many cruel mouths tearing apart, especially when the follicle was bitten, there was no chance that the egg could collide with Lu Lu. The severe pain forced it to sit down.
At this moment, Lu Lu saw the opportunity, pulled the trigger, and shot a bullet into Paozao's head from the side, knocking it to the ground.
In less than a minute, three wild boars were killed one after another.
He approached carefully, and when he was sure that the wild boar was killed, he pulled the green wolf over. He saw that the protective vest on the left side of its abdomen had two scratch marks left by the wild boar's tusks when it was picked, but there were no
penetrate.
The reason why he was picked up and flew up was because the long mouth of Paozao pushed him further down the green wolf.
