Yuanbao and the others seemed very excited when they returned home. As soon as they ran into the fence gate, they barked several times inside.
Immediately, a figure moved around on the window inside the wooden frame. Soon, Chen Xiuyu opened the door and came out with a flashlight.
"Go back quickly, it's freezing outside. If you suddenly run out from the kang like this, you'll catch a cold easily!" Lu Lu shouted to Chen Xiuyu.
"It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes!" Chen Xiuyu kept walking and quickly ran to Lu Lu's side.
Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing separated from Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke when they were at the fork in the road heading toward Lulu Caodianzi.
Lu Lu picked some of the remaining Xiong Xiazi meat and brought it back to eat, while the other two asked the two of them to take it back to Xiushan Tun and share it with everyone.
As for the smelly sable meat, yellow skin meat and fox meat, Lu Lu brought them back to feed the dogs and lynxes. Zhao Yongke also took some and took them back to feed their two Oroqen hounds.
I have put all the furs at Lu Lu's place, and I am planning to go to Lu Lu's place tomorrow to shovel the oily skins together. It is mainly because a few big men join in the fun and work together.
Chen Xiuyu looked at Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke's sledges being fully loaded, and asked in surprise: "Why did you kill so many? There are still two deer deer!"
"It's not bad!" Lu Lu thought it was normal.
After closing the fence gate, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke released the two deer trapped in the hunting net on the sledge.
After a day of jolting on the sledge, the two little things were released and lay on the snow for a while, unable to stand up.
After driving the sledge to Lu Lu's yard and unloading the horses, Zhao Yongke said hello to Lu Lu, led the horse, threw a bag of dog meat on his shoulder, and led the horse straight home.
After going to the mountains for so many days, Lu Lu wanted to go home and see his family as soon as possible, so Lu Lu didn't say much.
After Zhao Yongke left, Lu Lu closed the fence gate and saw two deer lying in the snow, swaying and stumbling towards the depths of the meadow. He ignored them and prepared to check them tomorrow morning.
That’s it!
He also unloaded the sledge, tied the green onions to the stable and fed them with fodder.
Zhui Feng neighed at Lu Lu from the side, kept shaking his head, and kept taking small steps in the stable, looking very excited.
Lu Lu reached out and scratched its neck a few times, then patted its face: "I will ride you tomorrow!"
Now that he knew that Wu Biao had a scope, he had to strike while the iron was hot to get it, so he planned to go to the district tomorrow to look for Wu Biao.
After closing the courtyard door, Lu Lu went to look at the kang stove, hugged the ashes left by the burning coal in the stove, and added some coal to it, and then returned to the house with Chen Xiuyu in his arms.
Pu Guiying was sleeping soundly on the big bed in the room. Lu Lu couldn't help but slow down his steps so as not to disturb her. Lu Lu had been away from home for so many days, and she relied on her to help take care of Chen Xiuyu, which helped a lot.
.
"Brother Lu, I'll get you something to eat!" Chen Xiuyu said softly.
"No, we ate in the area when we came back. Let's boil some hot water and I'll just give it a quick scrub!" Lu Lu said, walking slowly to the kitchen. When the stove was turned on, Lu Lu asked casually: "
Did anyone come here to cause trouble while I was away?"
"Jiang Mingfeng and his man Guo Zhikun came here. Jiang Mingfeng pretended to be carrying some stove fruits and two cans, saying he came to see me. Without saying a few words, he asked for the animal skin book, saying that the animal skin book was
Their family's heirloom, Uncle Jiang was old, and he did something stupid and wanted to take it back.
The words became more and more unpleasant, so I kicked him out.
When Guo Zhikun came, he didn't even let me see him. He hid in the woods and was so sneaky that he didn't even know what he was planning. Father Zhao found him and shot him in the big tree where he was hiding. He was frightened.
Come out, I told them that I want the animal skin book and wait for you to come back!"
Chen Xiuyu briefly explained the matter.
They really came to your door!
Lu Lu frowned slightly: "I will solve this matter!"
It's better to say that we didn't come to our door. Now that we have come to our door, the matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
"During the time you were in the mountains, Father Zhao would come here several times a day and wander around. We have to thank him properly."
While Lu Lu was adding water to the pot, Chen Xiuyu was also busy adding firewood to the stove and blowing up the bellows to make the fire burn more intensely.
"That's right!" Lu Lu nodded.
…
Zhao Yongke led the horse up to the ridge behind Lülumu Kereng. After walking for a while, under the moonlight, he saw two Oroqen hounds running happily towards him on the snow, and kept flapping towards him.
He bent down and rubbed the heads of the two dogs, looked up at Zhao Tuanqing who was walking towards him, and couldn't help but ask: "Ama, why are you still walking around outside at this time?"
"Xiao Lu asked me to help take care of his meadow. If you haven't come back, of course I'll have to take a closer look. It's not safe for Xiuyu and the little girl to live in this meadow. I'm getting old now, so I can't go back."
I couldn’t sleep, so I went out for a walk... did you go well into the mountains this time?"
Zhao Tuanqing asked with concern.
"It went very well!" Zhao Yongke said with a smile: "Brother Lu is too cautious in doing things. He took out a bear's warehouse, four people, four semi-automatics, and the bear came out and beat it into a sieve. That's it.
In this case, you have to prepare a fire in advance and stick the wood-cutting sticks at the entrance of the warehouse... If you are so careful, what can happen?"
"Is it wrong for Lu Lu to do this?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tuanqing immediately glared over: "How dare you say that? You have been hunting with me in the mountains for so many years, and I don't even know what you have learned. What is the most important thing in hunting? It is to survive! Human beings
If you are dead, you are nothing! Is it wrong to be more cautious? At your current level, you can't catch up with Lu Lu in terms of flattery, and you have been blind for so many years."
Suddenly, Zhao Tuanqing said a few words to him, and Zhao Yongke didn't know what to say.
"Over there in Jiayin, we have a lot of Oroqen people and a lot of acquaintances. Do you know why I didn't go back to Jiayin, but chose to come here with Lu Lu? Do you know why I asked you to follow Lu Lu? It's because this boy is better at hunting than you.
He is talented and thoughtful than you, is steady in doing things, and has a flexible mind. You will not suffer any loss if you follow him.
I’m old, and after working in the mountains for so many years, my legs and feet are no longer good after all. I can’t lead you hunting in the mountains all the time. I can rest assured that you follow Lu Lu!”
Zhao Tuanqing took a long breath: "I am just a son like you, and I don't want you to be lost in the mountains one day. I have taught you many things, but you say you know it, but you don't take it seriously in your heart. There is a saying among the Han people
Words: Be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years. If you learn how to use it, remember it."
"Amma, I remember!"
Zhao Yongke nodded. In front of Zhao Tuanqing, this man in his thirties was still being trained like a child.
Now that Lu Lu has returned to Caodianzi, Zhao Tuanqing doesn't need to hang around anymore.
The father and son walked home together.
Zhao Yongke remembered the doubts he had when hunting, and asked: "Amma, didn't you say that big skins (sables) don't eat dead food, so they can't be captured by trapping?"
"Yeah, Dapizi doesn't eat dead food, what's wrong?" Zhao Tuanqing was stunned for a moment and asked.
The two of them went to the mountains to hunt big leather traps every year. They would go to the snow in the mountains and forests to find the soft wire sleeves under the big leather jackets' footprints, or they would dig snow holes under the snow on the paths that the big leather jackets passed and set up plank clamps, or they would find wooden clamps.
In the big leather caves, use mink nets to catch them.
In their opinion, the trapping method is completely useless, and this has become an inherent idea.
"At least half of the big skins I caught this time in the mountains were trapped using meat traps..."
While walking all the way back, Zhao Yongke told Lu Lu that Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng were responsible for setting traps to catch sables. Zhao Tuanqing was stunned when he heard this.
Before Zhao Tuanqing could say anything more, Zhao Yongke continued: "Also, Brother Lu also asked them to change the trap from a high place to a place close to the ravine and valley to trap big leaves. The effect was even better... It's not that big leaves are all
In the alpine woodland?”
Zhao Tuanqing was stunned again when he heard this, and frowned: "That shouldn't be the case...you didn't ask Lu Lu what was going on?"
"I...I didn't ask!" Zhao Yongke hesitated: "I just think our approach is wrong."
"You think you have been hunting for so many years and have experience, so you can't afford to ask, right?"
Zhao Tuanqing glared at Zhao Yongke: "Ask me tomorrow. Didn't you see that every time Lu Lu came and chatted with us, he was always asking about something? He has been studying, studying very seriously. You can't just study a little,
Ask him tomorrow...come back and tell me!"
"Ah...good!"
Hearing what Zhao Tuanqing said, he knew that Zhao Tuanqing probably didn't know the specific reason either.
…
The night passed quietly.
After working in the mountains for so many days, Lu Lu was also tired. When he woke up, the sun was already high.
Chen Xiuyu didn't bother him either. He didn't even know when Pu Guiying left.
After putting on Su En, Lu Lu got down from the kang and saw Chen Xiuyu busy preparing fodder for the animals in the yard. He hurried out, grabbed two handfuls of snow from the fence of the yard and rubbed it on his face to make himself feel better.
Some of my drowsy heads woke up.
After a good night's sleep, he felt much better.
"I'm back. Just leave me to do these things. You don't even call me. It's inconvenient to have a bloated stomach! Go back to the house quickly!"
Lu Lu walked to the guillotine in the barn with a straight face and took over the matter of preparing the fodder.
Knowing that Lu Lu was caring about her, Chen Xiuyu smiled slightly: "Then I'll go back to the house to cook!"
"Brother Zhao, Brother Feng and Qingzi will all come over to do more..."
Lu Lu thought for a moment, then went to the chicken coop, took out a stupid chicken, slaughtered it, and handed it to Chen Xiuyu.
Needless to say, chicken stewed with mushrooms must be arranged.
After returning to the barn, Lu Lu spent more than half an hour preparing the forage and adding it to Zhui Feng and green onions. He also went to the deer house and added the forage to the trough.
While going to add fodder to the two troughs set up on the hillside to feed the deer, Lu Lu took a good look at the two deer he brought back last night.
They had all entered the forest on the hillside, and after looking for a long time, they found them. Their spirits had recovered a lot. At least they had the energy to run away when they saw Lu Lu, which made Lu Lu feel a little more relieved.
Knowing that Zhang Shaofeng and others were very tired and would not come here very early today, and it would still take a lot of time before the food was cooked, Lu Lu thought for a moment and returned to the kitchen: "My wife, I'm going to the district to see if there are any
What do I need to buy?”
"What are you doing in the district?" Chen Xiuyu asked casually.
"I'm going to Biaozi to buy a scope for future hunting, and I'll be back before dinner."
“There is nothing missing at home and there is nothing we need to buy!”
"Okay, I'll take two thousand yuan!"
"Yeah!"
Chen Xiuyu agreed without even thinking about it. In terms of money, Lu Lu was very good at making money and spent money very measuredly. He would never spend the money indiscriminately. All the money he used had his intention.
Lu Lu went back to the bedroom, took out two thousand yuan and put it in his pocket. Then he went to the stable and took Zhui Feng out. He rode Gangcha to the main road of Xiushantun. He saw Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng, with their hands intertwined.
In the cuffs, walking side by side.
Chen Xiuqing also saw Lu Lu and shouted from afar: "Brother Lu, where are you going?"
