Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke returned to the camp site and saw that Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng had already set up the tent, and all the necessary firewood and other things were ready.
Four horses were also tied to the trees next to the tent, feeding the fodder they had brought. It seemed that the two of them had just gone out not long ago.
Seeing that it was still early, Lu Lu put away the things, and together with Zhao Yongke led the dog, and continued deep into the Stone River, looking for Xiong Xiazicang, Shuigouzi, sable and other small animals.
In the next few days, several people drove sledges, changing places almost every day, choosing to walk in areas covered by several surrounding rivers.
Although there are many rivers in the surrounding area, most of them are actually not very long. The total length is only 40 to 50 kilometers.
But these rivers are anything but simple.
Strictly speaking, the areas around these rivers are not virgin forests. There are several forest farms in the mountains, and forestry branches were established as early as the Republic of China. In the early years, these rivers were used by gangs to place rafts to transport wood.
There are Lin Bans everywhere in the mountains.
Good wood is carefully selected, mainly from secondary forests.
Secondary forests are forests that have naturally recovered after being destroyed by logging or other natural factors.
Fortunately, the inherent ecological damage was not particularly serious. After years of recovery, the secondary forest that grew up provided sufficient food for herbivores, thus attracting many carnivores in disguise.
In fact, over the past few days, I often met people on the mountain who had arranged to go hunting in the mountains. Fortunately, most of them abided by the rules, and there were only three wooden clamps where the prey was taken away, leaving Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng to
Apart from being a little annoyed, nothing else happened.
Judging from the footprints left behind, the prey caught by the three wooden clamps were all sables.
People who see such a good thing are naturally greedy, and the prey is taken away. It is strange that Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng, who are mainly responsible for setting traps and collecting prey, are not angry.
These are three sable skins, not comparable to greyhound, yellow or fox skins. One large sable skin costs more than a thousand yuan.
In terms of small pieces of fur, these days, gray dog skins cost about ten yuan a piece, and yellow skins cost thirty or forty yuan a piece. Sable skins, which are slightly smaller than yellow skins, can be sold for more than a hundred yuan.
Money, if three sables were taken away, it would be equivalent to losing three to four hundred yuan.
However, if you swarm up and follow the traces to find someone, you will face a lot of things, and it will take a lot of time. Whether you can find the person is another matter.
With this time and energy, more prey can be obtained, so I can only choose to give up.
After a few days, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke found four more Xiongcangzi, two of which were the ones found in the Xiongxiazi ditch on the same day.
Lu Lu also went to see the moose in Damogou. He didn't see any moose, but he did find an area where two deer deer were active.
In fact, deer are similar to roe deer in many aspects. Like roe deer, they will run away quickly after being alarmed. After running a certain distance, they will look back and even return to the original place to see what happened.
Don't look at this thing as small, but it is almost impossible to chase it with a dog. It can run better than a roe deer or a sika deer. It can walk on the cliffs like walking on flat ground. With an easy leap, it can be five or six meters away. It's very
Difficult to track down.
Even for leopards and lynx, when they prey on them, they usually adopt a sneak attack method instead of directly pursuing them.
As for the ability to climb trees, it does sound unbelievable, but in fact, the trees the deer climbs are mainly slanted trees, and it cannot climb straight trees.
They are never able to leap directly vertically like lynx, leopards and big paws, but in a parabola.
This is also the reason why the fence in Lulu Meadow can surround them.
It was difficult to hunt them down forcefully, but for Lu Lu, who knew their habit of defecating in a fixed place, catching them was just a matter of leading Yuanbao and the others to the place where they defecate and setting up the next hunting net.
If two deer deer live in overlapping areas, they can only be one male and one female. If there are two males, they will fight.
Lu Lu set out the hunting net and caught the same result, one female and one male.
Unfortunately, now that the estrus period has passed, there are only male deer with pointy zombie teeth, and there is no musk left.
Lu Lu didn't have any regrets. Isn't there another estrus, and the next estrus?
As for the sika deer, Lu Lu had never seen even one kick mark, let alone a herd of deer.
This is already their ninth day in the mountains. They have smuggled a lot of extra food into the mountains, and there is still a lot left over. Although they can continue to search in the mountains, Lu Lu also caught these two deer.
Finally, after discussing with the three of us, we decided to go home early.
After these nine days, the four of them had several bags on their sledges. In addition to all kinds of furs, there was also a lot of meat from various animals.
The harvest from this hunting trip was quite good. When Lu Lu wanted to adopt two deer deer and divide the fur and bear bile, he chose to divide them equally. According to preliminary estimates, each of them would earn upwards of 5,000 yuan.
It’s a lot of money again, so there’s nothing left to be satisfied with.
Moreover, having been toiling in the mountains and snow for so many days was quite tiring. Especially setting up traps in the mountains all day long and constantly circling Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing was quite tiring.
Therefore, when Lu Lu proposed to go back, everyone agreed.
In the early morning, the four of them inspected the traps set in the mountains the day before and recovered all the prey and hunting equipment. They carefully collected the tents and equipment in the camp, put them on the sledge and tied them up. After making sure that nothing was missing, they drove the sledge out of the mountain.
In order to get home as early as possible, the four of them just asked Chen Xiuqing to buy some pancakes from a food stall when passing through Nancha District, and then drove all the way to Meixi District.
When we arrived at My Khe District, it was already dark.
However, it was just before five o'clock at this time, and it was time for dinner. Lu Lu led a few people directly to Tian Youcheng's Siguozi shop.
Four sledges stopped at the door of the restaurant. Tian Youcheng, who was greeting guests at the door to go into the restaurant, saw that the leader was Lu Lu. He immediately greeted him with a smile: "Man, it's been a long time. You've been busy for such a long time.
What, I haven’t seen you killing meat to sell!”
Lu Lu smiled and pointed at the sledge: "Didn't this come to you?"
A lot of meat was obtained, including five blind bears alone, which was twenty bear paws.
For a few people, there is no shortage of meat at home now, so there is no need to take it back and waste it.
On this trip, Lu Lu mainly sold the bear paws to Tian Youcheng. As for the other meat, it was up to Tian Youcheng to see if he needed it.
Lu Lu didn't expect to be able to sell sable, red fox, and yellow leather meat. The smell was too strong. Without a lot of effort, the dishes produced had an unacceptable smell. It could only be...
Take it back and keep it to feed the dogs and lynx.
But there is also the meat of jumping cat, greyhound, and water dog, which is still very good.
Looking at the four sledges, Tian Youcheng was a little confused: "There are so many, what did you hit?"
"You'll know after you see it for yourself. You pick out what you want. If you don't want anything left, I'll take it away!"
Lu Lu said bluntly.
He has already dealt with Tian Youcheng several times. After being taught a lesson by Lu Lu for selling fish for the first time, Lu Lu did not dare to do any tricks and became quite honest.
If you take the meat back and divide it, it will just be divided. How much money you can exchange for it now is considered a bit of income.
Seeing what Lu Lu said, Tian Youkun immediately walked to the sledge and opened the meat bags without Lu Lu's words.
At first glance, Tian Youcheng picked out the twenty bear paws first. The next ones were the meat from the jumping cats, greyhounds and water dogs. After hesitating for a long time, he picked out the two strongest ones.
There was also a lot of bear meat left behind.
Just by looking at the parts he selected, you can tell that the bear meat is going to be used for cooking oil.
As Lu Lu expected, he didn't want any of the red fox, yellow skin, or sable meat. Instead, he became interested in the two deer struggling in the hunting net: "Man, how about these two deer?"
Leave?"
"What are you thinking about? I caught them alive and prepared them to be raised, otherwise they would have been killed long ago!" Lu Lu refused with a smile.
"Is there anything else?" Tian Youcheng asked again.
When he said this, he glanced at the other bags.
"It's all here, what else do you want?" Lu Lu asked.
"Looking at how many things you have, you have been in the mountains for more than half a month at least, and you haven't caught a flying dragon or anything?" Tian Youcheng said expectantly.
The flying dragon meat is extremely fresh, and many diners who come to the restaurant want to try this legendary dragon meat. However, after contacting many hunters, not many can hunt flying dragons and bring them to the restaurant, and some are in short supply.
"We caught a few, but we are not going to sell them. We are going to keep them for ourselves to eat!"
Feilong is rare to find in the mountains. The key is that it can't be sold at a high price here in Tian Youcheng. The main reason is that these days, the prices in restaurants have gone up, and not many people are willing to spend that money to eat this stuff. Naturally, the price is higher.
It's not much higher. In this case, it's better to keep it for yourself.
"It would be a waste to take it back and eat it. It's better to exchange it for money... I can give you a little increase on the original price!" Tian Youcheng still didn't want to give up.
"How much can it go up? Let's forget it. We won't be short of that little money!"
Lu Lu's words immediately left Tian Youcheng speechless.
There were still so many sable, yellow-skinned, and red fox meats left in the bag, and each one was a good fur. Once these things were sold, they would make a huge sum of money that he was extremely envious of.
Lu Lu really didn't mean to pretend, he was telling the truth.
Tian Youcheng sighed with disappointment, thought for a moment and then asked: "I killed five bears and sold the Bolenggai to me. I'm going to get some bubble wine!"
"This works!"
Lu Lu nodded and signaled to Chen Xiuqing that both the bulenggai and the bear's nose were in his hunting bag.
Chen Xiuqing took out all the bear blind man's wave caps from the hunting bag and handed them to Tian Youcheng.
After Tian Youcheng took the things, Lu Lu asked: "Have you chosen?"
"That's all!" Tian Youcheng thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, hurry up and find someone to weigh it and settle the accounts... In addition, prepare a table of meals for the few of us, just make five or six home-cooked dishes! Arrange a seat by the window so that we can see things conveniently."
Since I woke up in the morning, I have just eaten some pancake mats to satisfy my stomach. By this time, I am already hungry.
We were all at the restaurant entrance, so we just ate our food to save my family from having to work for a long time after I went back. A meal only cost a few dollars, so it was easier to eat here.
"Hello!"
Tian Youcheng greeted him with a smile, and hurriedly called for people to come over and weigh the meat. At the same time, he also asked people to arrange the meals.
The meat was sold for only more than two hundred yuan. Tian Youcheng handed it to Lu Lu, and Lu Lu divided it among them.
After the matter was done, several people tied up the things on the sledge again, and Lu Lu led the way into the restaurant.
Who would have known that as soon as Lu Lu entered the door, he bumped into someone.
Lu Lu took a closer look and saw that the person who came out with his teeth was none other than Wu Biao. Seeing how he was swaying, he was obviously drunk. He could not recognize Lu Lu at a glance, who was wearing a hunting suit and a raccoon leather hat.
, seeing that his way was blocked, he immediately became unhappy. He stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Lu, shouting: "Go aside, don't block the way!"
