Sukhbalu became very happy when he heard that Lu Lu and others agreed to take down the enemy.
"Hurry up and pack your bags, let's hit the road now!" he urged repeatedly.
"You have to keep your stomach full!" Lu Lu smiled and asked Sukhbalu to sit down by the fire: "Don't worry, if it can be solved, we will definitely help handle it properly."
As he said this, he handed Sukhbalu a pancake.
Lu Lu's idea was very simple. He could help people and get some wolf skins at the same time.
Wolf skins and wolf oil are both quite valuable!
Several people sat around the fire, biting and chewing hot tea and pancakes.
More than ten minutes later, several people had filled their stomachs, got up, packed their luggage, loaded the sledge, and then hitched the Oroqen horses. Sukhbaru took the lead and walked along the valley for a while, then turned onto the forest farm road from the other side.
It was the main road leading to Tahe, and the speed suddenly picked up.
After running for almost an hour, Sukhbalu turned along another mountain road. About ten minutes later, a wide pasture in the valley appeared before his eyes.
The trees surrounding the entire pasture, like Lu Lu's meadow, are fenced by trees.
In the distance, you can see dozens of Mongolian horses neighing and galloping in the snow-covered pasture in the distance. As they gallop, the snowflakes fly, really like a dragon soaring.
Several people had never seen such a group of horses galloping with such fierce momentum, and they were stunned for a moment. They looked at it with burning eyes and started to feel inexplicably excited.
Further away, there were more than a hundred sheep scattered, and people were driving them on horses.
The area of this pasture is not small, at least thousands of hectares.
"I contracted the pasture from the forest farm last year. Everything is good, but there are too many wild animals around it, which is hard to guard against!" Sukhbalu said with a headache: "In the past year, there have been a lot of sheep and foals. Is there any problem?
Most of them were bitten by various wild animals."
"With such a large mountainous area, there are many horses and sheep here, so it is easy to attract wild animals. They are all herbivores in captivity, so they are naturally cared for by meat eaters."
Lu Lu didn't find it strange at all.
"I heard that you go into the mountains specifically for hunting. You can stay here with me during this period. You don't have to set up tents or live in igloos outside. It's quite warm in our yurt. We can also help take care of the animals and stuff.
Leave it here, you can go and fight it without worry, it will also help me take a good beating on the wild animals around you."
Sukhbalu is very enthusiastic.
This is a very good idea. No one is required to guard it, and a few people can be released to fight around for a few days.
Several people looked at each other and laughed.
The group of people followed Sukhbalu into the valley. After turning around a mountain col, they saw three yurts in front of them. Two women were loading grass on a sledge in a simple shed nearby and sending it to the snowy pasture.
, scattered everywhere along the way to feed the horses.
"I live here with my two sons, and I will make a yurt for you in the evening. Tonight, I will treat you to belly pork!" Sukhbalu said simply, and then rode towards the horse.
The two women holding the sledge ran over.
They should have asked someone to clean up the yurt, but soon they saw the woman enter the middle yurt, move some mattresses and stuff, and put them into the yurt on the left.
Belly Pork is one of the three delicacies of Inner Mongolia. In these days, Belly Pork is a must-have when entertaining distinguished guests.
The tripe meat is made from clean lamb tripe from the prairie, carefully wrapped with tender and juicy lamb meat, and then cooked in lamb belly.
Lu Lu had no contact or taste in this area. He was just lying in the hospital in his last life. When he was bored, he watched a lot of videos on his mobile phone.
I don’t know what it tastes like, but when I look at the meat in my mouth, it feels really satisfying and enjoyable.
Hearing that Sukhbalu was going to serve this dish made him full of expectations.
Several people then drove the sledge to the yurt. While they were still cleaning up the house, Lu Lu called Sukhbalu, Zhang Shaofeng and others to look at the fence where the horses were circled.
According to Sukhbalu, there are special stables for horses to give birth, and most of the foals are kept in them to be fed.
Those wolves seemed to have identified this place, looking for opportunities to cause trouble.
For these horses, the old and the weak are naturally the easiest to hunt. From Lu Lu's point of view, it is a normal thing to choose a young pony to hunt, since they don't have much ability to resist anyway.
"Aren't the sheep bitten?" Lu Lu asked strangely.
In comparison, sheep are not more susceptible to disaster, but I have never heard Sukhbalu mention it.
"Sheep also bite, but a few sheep can't hold up to a horse, so I don't care too much!" Sukhbalu said simply.
Lu Lu nodded slightly. Like the older generation, he probably believed that sheep bitten by wolves were healthy, so he also turned a blind eye.
"By the way, where do these wolves usually come from?"
Since someone has already come to fight, they should have found out something about the wolves. They can ask directly, which saves Lu Lu from spending time tracking them.
"How many places can I come in... Where was the place I came in last night!"
Sukhbalu stretched out his hand and pointed towards the northwest hillside, and then pointed at several other places where wolves had entered.
"Okay, you go and do your work, let's take a look around!"
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he led several people towards the direction pointed by Sukhbalu.
The pasture extends all the way into the valley, with a small river in the middle that is frozen on the surface but still flows underneath.
This is indeed a very nice place. In spring, Lu Lu believes that this will be a good place with abundant water and grass.
A group of people crossed the river and walked to the fence on the opposite side.
"This fence is two meters high. How can a wolf jump in?"
Looking at these fences made of thick logs and nails, Zhang Shaofeng asked a little strangely.
"It's normal. At this height, it's not difficult for the wolves!" Liang Kangbo said with a smile: "Wolves have also come to Huilongtun, and they are also lone wolves. The wolves can easily jump into the two-meter-high fence, and inside
After a full meal, you can still jump out with a chicken in your mouth."
"So powerful..." Zhang Shaofeng had never seen the power of a wolf and seemed a little surprised.
Several people looked along the fence for a while, and soon found the wolf paw prints on the snow outside the fence, as well as the marks left on the snow on the fence rails.
To the wolf, these horizontal wooden fences are just like stairs. It is even easier with the help of wooden railings.
Seeing Zhao Yongke follow Lu Lu over the railing, Zhang Shaofeng and others immediately followed. They went outside and watched Zhao Yongke carefully look at the footprints left on the snow and extend his fingers to make gestures.
After looking for those footprints for more than ten minutes, Zhao Yongke stood up with a serious look on his face: "There are quite a few of these wolves. I can see at least fifteen or six of them. There are also some footprints that are hard to identify."
Lu Lu also nodded slightly, it was indeed a bit tricky: "Since I agreed, I'd better stay here tonight and handle the matter properly."
"Build an igloo downwind?"
Living in a snow house these days, Zhao Yongke could tell from the reactions of Yuan Bao and others that the snow house seemed to have a good odor isolation effect.
"There's no need to go to so much trouble. Just stay by the stable. I think the hay shed there is very good. There's no need for us to fight with the wolves at night, which would be a big loss for us. We've been hunting in the surrounding areas these days.
Maybe we’ll meet him.”
For such nocturnal beasts, it is simply a thankless and extremely dangerous task to fight with a gun and a flashlight in your hand at night.
It's easy to track in snowy weather, and it's more advantageous to do it during the day.
"At night, I'll take Yuanbao and the others to keep watch. If there's any noise, Yuanbao will remind me. You should pay attention to rest!"
Lu Lu made a decision quickly.
Among several people, there is no one more suitable than him.
After looking at the general situation, several people went around the fence to look at other places, and finally climbed to a slightly higher place to take a look at the terrain. In the blink of an eye, another hour or two passed until they heard Sukhbalu coming down below.
After shouting loudly for dinner, they turned back.
Back in the yurt, Lu Lu saw that there was a lot of steaming belly meat on the wooden plate on the dining table, and specially made lamb chops. Sukhbalu also poured a large bowl of horse wine for several people.
.
There are seven or eight people in their family, old and young, and it is quite lively.
Lu Lu and others were not polite, they all sat down cross-legged by the stove and began to eat.
Looking at the lamb stomach on the wooden plate, cleanly removing the skin and wrapping the mutton to form soft spherical belly meat, I felt quite novel, especially the bold and original aroma.
Tempting.
These tripe meats, despite their small size, are each plump and lovely. When you take a bite, the tender and chewy lamb tripe bursts out, accompanied by the fragrant lamb and hot gravy. The bursting soup and aroma blend between your lips and teeth.
, endlessly memorable.
The lamb tripe locks in the aroma and nutrition of the mutton, and the richness of the clear soup makes it mellow and delicious as you can imagine.
The lamb tripe is chewy and elastic, the lamb is tender but not fishy, and it is cut with a hand-held knife and smeared with special sauce, which is quite a wild way of eating. After one bite, the lamb tripe is pulled into silk threads, which is not ordinary refreshing and bold.
"nice one!"
Lu Lu couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.
Seeing that the guests were satisfied, Sukhbalu was also very happy. He picked up the koumiss and pointed it at a few people. A group of people picked it up and drank it happily, which had a unique taste.
"Brother Sukhbalu, can you teach me how to make this?" Chen Xiuqing was busy devouring it and said, "Except for the food cooked by Brother Lu, this is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life.
, if you learn it, you will have something to eat in another year."
"Of course!" Sukhbalu said generously.
The meal was quite lively. During the meal, the topic returned to the wolves, and Lu Lu also told Sukhbalu his plans.
After drinking and eating, several people chatted around the fire pot for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, they returned to the yurt where Sukhbaru had placed them. Mats and mats had been placed on the blankets on the ground.
The whole yurt is warm thanks to the brazier.
Lu Lu looked outside, picked up his mattress, and led Yuan Bao and the others to the fodder barn.
This shed was probably built between the horse shed and the sheepfold for the convenience of feeding. There were haystacks wrapped in roe deer skin mattresses to lie down in, which was quite warm.
Yuanbao and the others lay down next to them.
With them around, Lu Lu wasn't worried at all. He didn't know if the wolves would come, let alone when they would come. He also slept with his head open. When the time came, if there was any movement, Yuanbao and the others would naturally remind him.
