Chapter 597 Seeing the big paw and footprints again
After breakfast in the morning, Lu Lu prepared prepared fodder for the deer he was raising, and sent it to the feeding trough made of logs in the deer breeding farm.
On weekdays, the deer that were jumping around in the fenced-in activity area seemed to be afraid of the cold. They huddled in the room and hid. It wasn't until Lu Lu added the fodder that they sniffed out one by one.
Busy filling your stomach.
The four cranes still flew away. I don’t know when they left. It seemed that they left on the day it snowed and the river froze.
When Chen Xiuyu took the male forest frogs she brought from the forest frog farm to feed, she didn't see them anymore. This made her somewhat disappointed, and she felt that she had paid in error for the feeding during this period.
However, Lu Lu didn't find it strange. As the temperature dropped, the fish in the river chose to retreat downstream and enter larger rivers. They would have to wait until the closure is lifted next year before swimming back again. Where there are fish in the meadow,
Probably only the water bubble left can be fished out with some oldhead fish and wood frogs.
I guess I flew away because I felt I didn't have much to eat here.
Although cranes can survive the winter in ice and snow, they prefer places with abundant food. It is normal for them to move away. Lu Lu only hopes that they will come to this meadow next year.
After finishing his work, Lu Lu returned home and put on his hunting clothes, jingle shoes and leggings. He carried a semi-automatic rifle on his back and went to the warehouse to get the two wooden horses when he heard the cry of ingots outside.
When I looked at the door, I saw that it was Zuo Songling who came in along the road.
He used a sledge to pull three cedar bathtubs over.
Lu Lu stopped Yuan Bao, went up to him and opened the gate: "Brother Zuo, why did you bring it here specially to say hello to us? We can just go and get it ourselves."
"I'll deliver it directly to save you all from having to go to my house..." Zuo Songling drove the sledge toward the yard.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Lu Lu asked by the way while helping to lift a bathtub into the bathroom.
"I just came out after eating. I don't have anything to do today. I've put the stuff at my house for a few days. I thought you might use it, so I took advantage of my free time today and brought it to you!"
After placing the tub in the bathroom, Zuo Songling gestured to Lu Lu: "Have a look, are you satisfied?"
Lu Lu turned the tub and looked at it, then jumped directly into the tub and sat down to try it out.
The entire bathtub was made exactly according to the dimensions required by Lu Lu. The cedar wood was very thick, and hoops made of woven rattan were specially made. Three hoops were placed on the upper, middle and lower parts of the bathtub to make it fit perfectly.
, the inner wall is polished very smooth, and beeswax is specially baked on the outside. The work is very fine and beautiful.
"Satisfied, quite satisfied!" Lu Lu praised sincerely.
He then went to the house to bring a bucket of water out and poured it into the bathtub, letting the bathtub maintain it to prevent problems such as cracking.
The bathtub made of cedar wood is very durable and should always be filled with water when not in use.
"As long as you're satisfied... Okay, I see that you're dressed up and ready to go out, so I won't disturb you and go and deliver the bathtubs to the Zhao family and Liang Pao!"
Zuo Songling said and walked out.
The wages were already paid when Lu Lu went to him to make a bathtub, so Lu Lu didn't try to keep him too much.
After Zuo Songling left, he called Zhui Feng, tied up the saddle, took Bai Yu with him, led Yuan Bao, and rushed to the breeding farm.
When he got there, Lu Lu saw that there were four horses tied up in the yard at the Sika Deer Breeding Farm. At a glance, he knew that Zhao Yongke, Zhang Shaofeng and Liang Kangbo had been here for a long time. Zuo Songling's trip,
I will definitely not see Liang Kangbo and Zhao Yongke.
As for Chen Xiuqing, he has to lead Wang Yan back home tomorrow.
Here, you have to go home on the third day of the wedding, go there on the same day, and come back the same day.
Moreover, with his hard work, he might not have enough energy to toss in the snow during the day. Of course, his skiing skills are the best among several people, and there is no need for outsiders like Lu Lu and Raymond.
Han Ke struggled vigorously.
Seeing Lu Lu entering the courtyard, Lei Meng immediately opened the door and welcomed him in.
"Everyone came very early!" Lu Lu greeted several people with a smile.
"We came here specifically to have breakfast with my eldest brother. We thought you would come very early, but you ended up here at this time!" Liang Kangbo said with a smile.
"I have some things to do at home, and I have to feed the deer. I was getting ready to go out, and I saw the eldest brother Zuo bringing a bathtub to the house. Now he is going to the house of the second brother and the third brother. The eldest brother's bathtub will probably be late.
.”
Lu Lu looked at Zhao Yongke and said, "Third brother, we are so close, and you didn't come over to call me when you came."
"You used to be earlier than us. What did I ask you to do? You came out of the house and took a shortcut here." Zhao Yongke said after being stunned for a moment.
"Wait a minute, what kind of bathtub are you talking about? I didn't ask anyone to make a bathtub!" Raymond asked a little strangely.
"We went to pick up sticks. When we were in Harbin, we specially selected some cedar wood to make a bathtub for bathing in winter and snowy days. Several brothers wanted it, and the eldest brother couldn't live without it, so I made it.
Take it upon yourself to make one for you, and ask Brother Zuo from the village to make one for you, and everyone is the same."
Lu Lu said simply, and turned around to urge the others to leave quickly: "Let's go, the fire in winter is becoming more and more inseparable... By the way, brother, I brought two wooden horses here, I remember
Your skiing skills aren’t that good either, so just practice your short skis first.”
"The third child has already made a pair of shortboards and brought them over, and he also made a pair of ski poles from ash trees!" Raymond casually pointed to the wooden horse standing upright against the wall on one side.
"You move very fast, third brother!" Lu Lu was a little surprised.
"This is all waiting to be used. Of course we have to do it quickly!" Zhao Yongke also stood up: "I have been busy with this since I went back."
Lu Lu was happy to see this happy scene. After smiling slightly, he led the way out of the house and tied the long wooden horse to his feet.
Last winter, he had been training on short wooden horses, and there was no big problem gliding in the mountains and forests. This year, he planned to train on long wooden horses, which are faster and more difficult to control, but this one can better develop skills.
Only by mastering the skill can you rely on the wooden horse to move freely through the forest, sea and snowy fields.
He also hopes that he can become "flying on the snow" soon.
Among the few people, except for Zhang Shaofeng and Zhao Yongke, Liang Kangbo's level is actually not even as good as Lu Lu. As for Lei Meng, he can barely slide without falling. He is just a beginner, which requires good training.
Ichiban.
Of course, when Chen Xiuqing didn't come, Lei Meng had to learn to ski, so he had to leave it to Zhang Shaofeng and Zhao Yongke to teach him. As for Lu Lu and Liang Kangbo, both of them had the skills to practice.
After the five people tied up the wooden horse, they walked out with their ski poles. Lu Lu looked back and saw that Raymond did not bring his semi-automatic rifle, so he quickly said: "Brother, bring the gun!"
"It's just around the breeding farm, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Raymond hesitated.
"That's not possible, you have to bring it with you. We have been fooled before and almost had a big problem. Wild animals move less in the snow. For many wild animals, in order to get food, they will become more ferocious.
There are also quite a few who like to go around the villages and poach chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, cattle and horses, but you can’t be careless and you have to develop a habit.”
Lu Lu said with a serious face.
It was my first time to carry a stick. I wandered in the mountains for a few days without encountering any wild animals. I always thought that nothing would happen if I kept calling the mountains, so I was careless and didn't bring a gun. As a result, Cannon Egg, who was stung by a mine bee and went crazy, came in.
, causing a group of people to be in a hurry.
From that time on, whenever Lu Lu entered the mountains, he always kept his gun close to his side. As the leader of the team, he always asked for the same number of people.
Zhang Shaofeng and others have become accustomed to it, but Lei Meng has not followed him into the mountains to hunt, so he is not yet so aware of this matter.
"A hunting ground is like a battlefield. What Lao Wu said is right. We are just afraid of what might happen!"
Zhang Shaofeng also smiled and said: "Brother, please don't take it seriously. I always thought that when I went into the mountains to hunt, I would just find the prey and kill it. However, I didn't realize until I actually went into the mountains with Lao Wu that they didn't lead me."
, let alone hunting, I probably won’t be able to survive, every bit of experience has a lesson.”
After hearing what both of them said, Raymond had to pay attention. He hurried back to the house, took out his semi-automatic and carried it out.
Lu Lu then led a group of people towards the mountain, chose a suitable place for each of them, and started skiing training.
After a simple adaptation, Lu Lu continued to increase the difficulty for himself during training.
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and the weather has never cleared up. Instead, there have been snowstorms from time to time, which has temporarily put the matter of insulating the beehives in the apiary on hold.
After Chen Xiuqing led Wang Yan back to the door, she also joined in.
Skiing was his strong point. Lu Lu often pulled him through various demonstrations. With constant attempts, his skiing skills began to become more and more flexible. In just five days, he made many achievements.
Small improvement.
Even Zhang Shaofeng saw him and sincerely praised his terrifying learning ability, saying that after this winter, he would be able to catch up with him.
There is nothing much to do in the farms for the time being. The main patrol is done by Lin Yulong, Liu Bao and two other militiamen. They have to patrol several farms at least three times a day.
Of course, both Liang Kangbo and Lu Lu specifically taught Lin Yulong how to set traps around to prevent wild animals from invading, and they have now carried it forward, especially around the forest frog farms and wild goose farms, where there are often a lot of traps.
Harvest.
Huangpizi is a frequent visitor to the forest frog farm, while foxes will visit the wild goose farm. From time to time, you can even get a jumping cat or roe deer.
For them, they can even earn more money than their salary in a month. If they are lucky, they can even make one or two hundred yuan in a month without any problem.
For many wild animals, wild geese and forest frogs are full of temptations, and there are always many wild animals trying to break in. Being able to earn so much extra money makes the four of them very enthusiastic about patrolling.
In the past two days, I often came over to watch Lu Lu and the others practice skiing.
What Lu Lu didn't expect was that Lin Yulong actually had very good attainments in skiing.
And on the sixth day, when Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing were skiing into the valley north of the sika deer farm, they accidentally saw the footprints outside the fence of the deer farm, and they were so shocked that they felt chills running down their spines.
They were the footprints of a big paw and the footprints of two tiger cubs.
Is that the big paw that led the tiger cub back?
The two men immediately took out their semi-automatics from their holsters and stood guard back to back.
