Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng first followed Zhao Yongke to their house to pick up the ready-made gun holsters, and then returned to Lu Lu's wooden carving to pick up the yellow mutton.
Lu Lu gave one to each of them, and asked Chen Xiuqing to take an extra one and send it to Aunt Duan's house. They agreed to go to the mountain tomorrow morning. After the two left, the couple also rested early.
The next morning, when Chen Xiuqing drove the sledge and Zhang Shaofeng to Lulu Caodianzi, Lu Lu had also loaded his sledge and the tents and hunting gear that needed to be brought into the mountains on the sledge, and was ready.
Feed the green onions.
Chen Xiuyu was already busy in the kitchen. When the two arrived, she immediately brought the food that was warm on the stove to the table. After the three of them ate together, they immediately went into the mountains.
Some time ago, among the places Lu Lu visited, what worried him the most were the two places where wild boars were used to make nests to raise blind bears. They were also the farthest places.
In any case, it is a place where a lot of effort has been put into, and it is also the place where blind bears are most likely to move in. If blind bears are really attracted to squat in the warehouse, it will not be worth it if someone else takes the lead.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Lu Lu directly chose the farthest place as his target.
After driving the sledge for most of the day, he arrived at the area and chose a flat spot in the leeward mountain col. Lu Lu stopped the sledge, got off the sledge, and stretched his somewhat numb body.
"Brother Feng, Qingzi, you two set up a tent here first, prepare some firewood, cook and other things. I will go to explore the conditions of the two nests first. If there is a blind bear, we will kill it tomorrow."
On the way up, Lu Lu had already told the two of them about the situation.
It's already afternoon now. By the time I get all the miscellaneous things ready, it's already approaching evening. There's nothing I can do about it on the mountain, so I might as well rest early and take action early tomorrow.
"good!"
The two of them agreed without thinking.
When they arrived in the mountains, Chen Xiuqing had become accustomed to obeying Lu Lu's arrangements. As a novice, Zhang Shaofeng decisively chose to obey Lu Lu's instructions in a soldier's style.
"I'm going to take Yuanbao and the others away. You two have to be careful here. No matter what you do, keep your gun close to your body. You two should do it together. Don't separate. We have to take care of each other!"
Lu Lu warned again, and when the two nodded, Lu Lu took the green onion, turned over, rode on it, and walked towards the mountain forest.
It has been almost twenty days since it started snowing. Because of this snow, everything in the mountains seems to be a little different.
Even though Lu Lu had recorded it in his little notebook, he was still a little unclear about these two places that were suitable for a blind bear to squat in a warehouse. The environment seemed to have become much stranger.
He could only rely on his memory, examine the surrounding environment, and walk in the general direction.
After searching for a while, Lu Lu finally found the cave under the stone lazi.
As soon as Yuanbao arrived near Shilizi, he began to make a fierce whining sound.
Lu Lu looked carefully in the direction pointed by Yuan Bao. He didn't see any trace of animals in this area. Instead, he felt happy. He could conclude that there must be a blind bear in the cave under the stone lazi.
Jumping off Green Onion, he squatted down and patted Yuanbao's head to keep them where they were. Lu Lu carefully carried the semi-automatic and walked towards the cave.
The two wild boars that were thrown at the entrance of the cave were now gone.
Thick snow piled up beside the stone slab, covering most of the hole that the blind bear had pulled out.
As soon as Lu Lu saw the white frost on the rocks at the entrance of the cave, he became more and more sure.
The blind bear squatted in the warehouse, but he was in a semi-sleep state. All aspects of his body's functions declined, and his breathing slowed down a lot. However, it was precisely because of breathing that the water vapor sprayed out would form white at the entrance of the cave when it encountered the cold air outside.
Frost, this is almost a sign of whether there is a blind bear in the warehouse.
Without excessive disturbance, Blind Bear would not wake up easily, and even those who were awake would be too lazy to move.
Lu Lu took the flashlight from the hunting bag, carefully walked to the entrance of the warehouse, opened it, and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw a blind bear curled up inside, weighing about three hundred kilograms, with its eyes open.
, but it looked like he was in a trance.
At this time, it is extremely easy to kill it.
However, in order to get the bear meat and bile conveniently, it is still necessary to lure them out and kill them. Otherwise, they will be killed in the cave, which will require digging and dragging.
Turning off the flashlight, Lu Lu continued to walk around Shilizi. After once again confirming that there was no other exit, he went back, rode Green Onion, led Yuanbao and the others, and walked towards another tree barn.
This time, with this stone as a reference, it will be easy to find the big tree.
Without much fuss, Lu Lu went straight to the big tree. The yellow-haired wild boar and another wild boar on the ground could not possibly still be there.
Lu Lu first looked at the hole in the trunk of the big tree.
Seeing this, he felt happy again.
When I first saw this big tree, I only saw the claw marks left by the blind bear on the tree. At that time, the opening of the tree hole opened by the blind bear was still very small, and it was not big enough for a blind bear to get in.
But now, Lu Lu saw that the hole had obviously been enlarged a lot, and the claw marks up and down the tree trunk could be clearly seen after pulling off the layer of ice and snow that had been covered with snowflakes.
He knocked on the tree trunk and put his ear to the trunk to listen. He could hear the slight sound of the blind bear inside after being slightly disturbed - there was a blind bear!
Both dens are occupied by bears, which is a good thing!
No wonder the Manchu people are willing to spend their energy. When they find a warehouse suitable for a blind bear to stay, they often hunt roe deer, jumping cats, and wild boars and throw them at the entrance of the cave to lure the blind bear to move in.
This effect is really not bad.
This method will be more useful in the late autumn and early winter next year! Lu Lu made up his mind.
After finding out what happened, Lu Lu rode on Green Onion and returned to the camp.
When they got there, Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng were carrying back dry tree stumps. They knew they were used for heating in the tent at night, and they had already been cut into more than ten sections with a chain saw.
In front of the tent, a large pile of firewood was burning brightly. From the antimony pot hanging on the wooden branch above, hot air was gushing out, and a scent could be smelled from a distance.
Lu Lu jumped down from the green onion, and first went to lift the lid of the antimony pot on the fire and took a look. Oh my god, there were mushrooms and chicken nuggets cooking in the pot.
When they went into the mountains, Lu Lu only brought some sticky bean buns, but he didn't expect that the two of them would specially bring these things into the mountains.
He couldn't help but laugh, looked at Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing who were carrying Mudun back one after another and asked: "Which one of you brought this?"
"Brother Feng brought it. I just brought some sticky bean buns!" Chen Xiuqing said with a smile: "Just now I was thinking about whether to go around and get some jumping cats, pheasants and so on. When I came back, I didn't even leave when I saw Feng.
Brother Feng directly cooked the chicken in an antimony pot and fried it at home. In addition, Brother Feng also brought a pot of Baogu wine. I had a taste of it before and the wine was very strong and I felt comfortable drinking it."
"There are a lot of wild animals in the mountains. Are you afraid that there will be no meat to eat?"
Lu Lu said to Zhang Shaofeng: "There is no need to bring meat next time... However, the wine is very good. It is good to drink a little from time to time to warm up. Qingzi, drink in moderation. This is in the mountains. Don't be greedy and drink yourself.
Drunk."
Regarding drinking, Lu Lu has always admired the people in the wilderness, probably because it is too cold. Not to mention men, even old women, there are many people who can be called huge.
Moreover, the alcohol content they drank was particularly high, especially some privately brewed corn wine. After Lu Lu drank it, he felt that he could almost catch up with the alcohol. Most people couldn't stand the burning sensation after entering the mouth.
However, after taking a long sip to get over it, it feels really comfortable to fall asleep at night.
"I also think that with your two abilities, it is very simple to eat meat in the mountains, but Yuejia still insists on letting me bring it. She said that this is also her intention... Well, there is still something in her pocket.
Two slaughtered and taken care of!"
Zhang Shaofeng said, pointing to the snakeskin bag placed at the door of the tent.
Lu Lu went over to take a look, but no, there were two fat and big hens inside, well wrapped in newspapers.
When Zhang Shaofeng said this, Lu Lu probably understood what he meant. Wu Yuejia probably felt a little sorry that Zhang Shaofeng, a man who didn't know how to hunt, followed Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing into the mountains and shared so many things all at once.
"Brother Feng, please don't let your sister-in-law do this again in the future. It's really unnecessary!" Lu Lu said with a smile: "If you have to do this every time, no matter how many chickens you kill, it won't be enough!"
Zhang Shaofeng nodded: "I won't be polite to you anyway... By the way, how do you see the situation? Are there any blind bears?"
"Yes, there are blind bears in the tree barn and the stone barn." Lu Lu said with a smile.
"Two blind bears..."
Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"It's really a good idea to make a den to raise bears. Tomorrow, let's get up early, set traps in the surrounding mountains, and then come back to hunt the blind bears. If things go well, it won't take long to capture them. We'll go on a patrol later.
These traps may yield rewards."
"Yeah!"
They both nodded, looking very excited.
There were two blind bears at once, but if it had been someone else, they wouldn't have seen one for days.
Of course, both of them knew that this was the reason why Lu Lu had made a lot of preparations in advance, otherwise, it would have been so easy.
The two of them thought it was awesome, but Lu Lu thought it was nothing.
As far as Lu Lu knew, he knew that there was Xiong Xiazizi Valley on the other side of Changbai Mountain. A powerful hunter once killed sixteen Xiong Xiazizi in half a month in Xiong Xiazizi Valley and the surrounding forests.
That's really awesome.
I am building a nest, and I am lucky enough to attract two blind bears to stay in the barn for hibernation. It is nothing at all?
However, Lu Lu was moved by the thought of Xiong Xiazigou in Changbai Mountain. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was a chance to go to that dangerous place.
Yes, it is precisely because of the frequent activities of Blind Bear that the area has become dangerous. Ordinary hunters dare not step into it. There are too many people who have had trouble in it, and it has a strong reputation.
Thinking of Xiong Xiazi Ditch, Lu Lu also remembered that there seemed to be a very interesting place on the other side of Nancha - Xiong Xiazi Ditch!
This kind of naming is very common in the wilderness, just like places named after tigers, usually there have been big paws, or they are directly occupied by the big paws.
A place like Xiong Xiazigou must be a place where Xiong Xiazi often hangs out, and the distance is not particularly far. Lu Lu felt that after visiting all the places he had explored, he would go to a place like that.
Not a bad trip either.
As for the depths of Xiaoxing'an Mountains, Lu Lu had no intention of going in.
In winter, this is the best season for hunting red wei. The Oroqen hunters who have settled outside have brought Tuoluozi into the mountains. There are many hunters, and they have a special hunter village.
In addition to people from hunter villages, many Oroqen people will also enter and start a settled life, but this does not mean they have given up hunting.
On the contrary, these places chosen by Lu Lu were on the edge of the mountains. Except for skilled hunters, few people in the outer mountain villages set foot there, and the Oroqen hunters from Jiayin would not arrive in a short time. It was a quiet place.
.
This can be seen from the fact that Zhao Tuanqing and his son went into the mountains for eight days, and the harvest they gained was far less than that of Lu Lu and others.
After dinner in the evening, without Lu Lu having to say anything, Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng followed Lu Lu's previous method of drilling holes in wooden pillars to make a fire, and placed four wooden pillars with burning centers in the tent, and the three of them drank.
Drink strong wine and rest early. While chatting, Lu Lu told the two of them the methods and precautions for carrying Xiongcangzi, and then they slept peacefully and waited for dawn.
