In the next few days, things went very smoothly, and there was good income every day.
After a round of guarding the camp, several people also changed directions and carefully searched several major rivers and valleys within a radius of more than ten miles.
There were several bags of furs, and a pile of meat was piled in the snow.
"There is so much meat that I can't take with me, and it feels like a waste if I keep it... Tell me, if this is closer to our village, it would be better if we just share it with everyone."
Zhang Shaofeng looked at the piles of bear meat, jumping cat meat, fox meat and other things, and felt a little pity.
"I've been working hard for a few days. I'll have a rest tomorrow. We're not that far from Jiagadaqi. Otherwise, we can pull some with a sledge and send some to the village over there, which can be considered as a way to build personal connections."
The meat brought there, except for the flying dragon, bear paws, wolf meat and badger meat used for cooking oil, is of no great use to a few people. It is just for eating, and not much can be eaten.
.
As for selling it, are the people in the mountains short of game? The key is that it’s not worth much.
Lu Lu was happy to give it to the people in the surrounding villages. He would have to go to Daxinganling in the future: "I'll also buy some needed things on the way!"
Several people thought about it and thought so, and they all nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Raymond was too lazy to run and stayed with Lu Lu to rest at the campsite.
The past few days have been really tough for Raymond. It’s his first time to follow a hunter in the mountains. He treks in the snow every day, tracking and looking for prey. It seems like he’s just walking around and looking, but in fact it’s an extremely intense job.
The work is even much harder than working on the farm.
He himself was lacking in skiing, and it was more difficult than a few others. When he came back to the igloo every day, his feet were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Fortunately, after a few days of adapting, it eased somewhat, but I still felt very tired.
Lu Lu was resting. He also planned to seize the time to rest and recover well so that he could cope with the next round of high-intensity hunting.
There are many Oroqen people in this place, so Zhao Yongke is naturally indispensable when going out to communicate.
Chen Xiuqing is purely a novelty. He seems to have endless energy and is active every day.
Liang Kangbo was also curious. It was a rare trip and he wanted to take a look.
As for Zhang Shaofeng, he is better at dealing with people, so he went along purely to help deal with problems he might encounter.
The group of people loaded the frozen meat onto the sledge early and hurried towards the direction of Jiagedaqi.
Lu Lu and Lei Meng melted the snow, boiled some water to make tea, and lay down to rest in the snow house. Lei Meng took the opportunity to ask Lu Lu some hunting matters, and Lu Lu was willing to teach, but he just chatted.
Then, Raymond discovered that Lu Lu had fallen asleep unconsciously wrapped in the mattress.
Of all the people, Lu Lu was the most worried. As the core figure of the entire mountain-climbing team, every matter, big or small, went through him.
It seems that everyone is accustomed to obeying his opinions and arrangements, but precisely because he does more than anyone else every day, thinks more, and always has to take care of the safety of a group of people, his nerves are often tense.
Gotta be tight.
Even if I come back after a tiring day, even if I am sleeping very deeply, and I know that someone is keeping watch outside, I will suddenly wake up and get up to check out of habit.
His dedication was obvious to all, and several people admired him more and more in their hearts.
Even Liang Kangbo, a well-known gunner before Lu Lu came, also praised Lu Lu privately, saying that people like Lu Lu were truly good hunters.
He said this to Zhao Yongke, but Zhao Yongke just smiled slightly: "So, I, Ama, believe him and let me follow him."
Don't forget that when it doesn't snow, the sun is in the sky every day, but the melted snow layer will immediately freeze into ice at night, forming a very hard ice shell on the silver-covered earth. In some places, people
If you step on it, it may not collapse.
But such ice shells are very unfriendly to Yuanbao and others.
They are not like Lu Lu and others who wear jingle shoes and leggings and ride on wooden horses. They rely solely on four fleshy palms. It is easy to cause cuts on these ice shells.
They also need rest to recover.
Seeing Lu Lu sleeping, Raymond smiled slightly, got out of the igloo, holding his gun, and stood guard by the fire next to the igloo.
He never thought that the young man who had been surrounded by him in the past few years was now a figure. He didn't know why Lu Lu had grown so much.
In Lu Lu, Lei Meng not only saw the liveliness of a young man, but also the sincerity that only middle-aged and elderly people have. Strangely, these two things blended together well in Lu Lu, becoming
Very charming.
Even he, the former leader, had to be impressed and was deeply attracted by this charm. It is a feeling that cannot be expressed in words but can only be understood. If you have to say it, it can only be expressed in four words: "fortunate to meet you"
.
Jiagedaqi is located in the remnant range of the Daxingan Mountains. The mountains are gentle and not very undulating. It is a low mountain and hilly area. It is located in the middle reaches of the Gan River. Rivers are common between the hills and gentle mountains. There are also many plain grasslands with large areas.
In the past, mainly Oroqen and some old men would go to this place for hunting.
It was not until the 1960s that many forestry farm workers from Yichun and other places were mobilized to establish the Jiagedaqi Forestry Bureau. The number of talents in this place gradually began to increase.
Lu Lu's current hunting direction is actually the valley leading from Jiagedaqi to the Tahe River.
When he came to this place for the first time, he didn't dare to go deep directly, so he had to explore it tentatively.
Suddenly, he rashly went deep into a vast forest with no human habitation for dozens of kilometers, and he himself was not sure enough to get out.
Even the locals rarely go deep into the undeveloped virgin forest for fear of Mada Mountain.
In spring, summer and autumn, when you go inside, the forest is deep and the leaves are dense, and you can't see the sun when you look up. In winter, the sky is covered with snow and it is even more misty. It is really not possible for anyone to go in and come out alive.
Moreover, the people living here include more than ten ethnic groups, including Oroqen, Manchu, Ewenki, Mongolian and other ethnic groups, and they are not peaceful.
As far as Jiagedaqi is concerned, there have been repeated battles over the jurisdiction of this place.
Near noon, Zhao Yongke and others returned.
When I went to Jiagedaqi, I would naturally bring some delicious food and drink with me. This was something I had already said before. Therefore, Raymond did not cook, he just fed the horses and guarded the furs.
Then wait for them to come back with something to eat.
But in fact, a few people couldn't find anything good in Jiagedaqi, so they just weighed some pastries and bought some pancakes and other things to bring back, just for a change of taste.
Bar!
There was another person they brought back, riding an Oroqen horse. He spoke awkward Chinese, and at first glance he could not be considered Han.
The noise when several people came back and the screams of Yuanbao and the others woke Lu Lu from his sleep. He turned over and sat up, rubbed his numb face vigorously, and then got out of the small door of the snow house.
"...Come on, come on, this is the leader of our hunting team. We can only go if he agrees to what you said!"
When Zhang Shaofeng saw Lu Lu coming out, he immediately led the tall and burly man to Lu Lu. From his clothing and figure, he could tell that this man was a Mongolian.
"Hello, my name is Sukhbalu!" This Mongolian man looked rough, but he was very polite to others. He used the more formal communication method of the Han people. He extended his hand to Lu Lu.
Lu Lu also politely extended his hand to shake his hand and said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Lu Lu... What were you talking about just now?"
"What happened was that a few of us sent the meat to a village near Jiagedaqi, and Sukhbalu was watching from the side. The things were quickly distributed to the village under the arrangement of the elders in the village.
Various families were planning to keep us as guests in the village. We were in a hurry to go to the street to buy things, so we refused. However, we found that Sukhbalu was following us all the way.
When we were walking back after shopping, he followed us... We all wondered if we and others were being taken care of again. Seeing how big and tall he was, he looked quite scary, so we stopped and asked him: "He has been following us."
What are you doing!"
Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile: "Then he asked us if we were hunters? Of course we said yes. Then he explained his purpose of coming. He said that he had a pasture in the mountains, and when he saw us hunting so many prey, he thought we must be very powerful.
Hunter, so, I want to ask us for a favor."
"What can I help you with?" Lu Lu couldn't help but ask.
"His pasture was attacked by wolves during this period. Several foals were bitten. Several hunters were invited to guard them. However, those wolves were too cunning and powerful. Not only were they not killed, but some were injured.
. Another foal was bitten last night and was eaten in the pasture. He came out today specifically to find hunters to kill those wolves."
Zhang Shaofeng briefly explained what happened.
After hearing this, Lu Lu frowned slightly: "They're just wolves. According to the level of hunters here, they won't be unable to deal with them. They're not big paws, like leopards?"
"That wolf is not simple. I specifically looked for a few Oroqen hunters, but they didn't catch it. I just heard an old hunter say that the leading wolf is not simple and will not be easy to deal with."
Sukhbalu shook his head.
"Isn't it just a wolf? How can it be smarter than humans?"
Lu Lu became more and more puzzled, but looking at Sukhbalu's serious look, he also felt a little strange: "What's so special about that wolf?"
"That's a three-clawed wolf!" Sukhbalu said.
"Three-clawed wolf? Disabled?" Lu Lu immediately thought of the wolf he had picked up two days ago. Since it had three claws, it must have been injured and lost one of its claws.
Such wolves should be dealt with better...
Who knows, Sukhbalu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, this wolf is not disabled. I heard the old hunter said that this is a wolf that walks with its right front paw raised. It is not disabled, but that the wolf lifts its right front paw.
Its claws are very sharp, and I am afraid that walking with those claws will blunt them and make it difficult to hunt, so I love them very much. It is precisely for this reason that this kind of wolf is very fierce and cunning."
This statement made Lu Lu look puzzled.
Are there any such wolves?
A mountain animal is said to be so mysterious!
Lu Lu couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhao Yongke.
Zhao Yongke knew what Lu Lu meant and shook his head slightly: "I have never heard of such a situation, let alone seen it."
Obviously, he also found it very strange.
Seeing the disbelief on their faces, Sukhbalu became a little anxious: "What I said is true... Please help me, I really can't find the right person."
Lu Lu hesitated for a moment: "Do you want to go and see it?"
"I'm quite curious!" Zhang Shaofeng said bluntly.
Zhao Yongke, Liang Kangbo, and Chen Xiuqing all nodded slightly.
It seems that several people want to see this magical wolf, otherwise they would not be attracted to it.
"Is your place far from our place?"
Seeing Sukhbalu's eager look, Lu Lu asked again.
"It's not far, just walk twenty miles to Zhangsong Ridge in the direction of Tahe River!" Suheba Luliangmang said.
The route planned by Lu Lu was in this direction, and it happened to be along the way. He happened to have to change places tomorrow, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go over and have a look!"
