Two blind bears came out of the stone warehouse one after another, and were shot and killed by Zhang Shaofeng, with two additional shots.
Zhang Shaofeng's nerves were very tense. It seemed that after the two shots were finished, the breath he was holding in his heart was released, and his expression became relaxed.
He took a long breath: "Sure enough, after being frightened by the blind bear, I couldn't help but feel frightened when I saw the bear again. After I hit it, I realized that it was just a matter of bullets.
It’s also very fragile, no big deal.”
Is this a psychological process?
Lu Lu glanced at Zhang Shaofeng: "Do you feel better?"
"Much better!" Zhang Shaofeng nodded: "I will be more cautious in the future."
Knowing how to be cautious is the key.
He stepped on Blind Bear's body and noticed something was abnormal, but he didn't pay enough attention to it. This was his problem.
"It's getting late, so hurry up and take care of it. Let's keep the hearts of the two blind bears today and take them back to cook for dinner in the evening... By the way, didn't we kill a local leopard at Sukhbaru's house? I don't dare to
Keep it."
Lu Lu smiled and said, "I'll let you try it tonight, too!"
"You can taste the heart of a bear, but forget about the courage of a leopard..."
Chen Xiuqing shook her head when she heard this: "I was afraid of pig gall when I caught a cold when I was a child. As soon as I put it in my mouth, even if I swallow it without chewing, my mouth will be full of bitterness. The same goes for tiger gall. If I hadn't been frightened by the blind bear,
I don’t want to touch this thing, it all tastes the same. I’m afraid this leopard won’t be able to get any better.”
"You kid, have you learned to be picky about food?"
Lu Lu glared at him, and then said: "As the old saying goes, you are scared out of your wits. Although it is not really scared out of your wits, it does have a big impact on the body. Why can't you be frightened?
, will you have nightmares, will be scared when you see it, will your mouth feel bitter?
I suggest that you'd better try it. Otherwise, it's often said that bold people have eaten bear heart and leopard gallbladder. Now that we have everything ready, maybe it will actually have some effect. I'll make leopard gallbladder and bear liver stew for you when I get back.
.See if you can gain courage.
To work in our profession, you have to be brave enough. Of course, it is also important to be careful, but you can’t be reckless all the time, that is called stupid. Qingzi, do you know why Xiuyu always calls you a stupid person? It’s because of you.
Sometimes, it’s too reckless.”
Several people smiled slightly after hearing this.
Afterwards, they jumped off the stone lazi one after another, each took their hunting knives, stabbed them with their knives, and began to skin the two blind bears to extract their bile.
Lu Lu also deliberately left a piece of Xiong Xiazi's liver when he was removing the bile.
By the time the two blind bears were skinned, it was almost dark.
Several people hurriedly loaded their things onto the sledge, turned on their flashlights and headed back.
I have to go back later today than yesterday.
Liang Kangbo also prepared meals early and was waiting. When he saw a few people returning, he went to help unload the things. He first looked at the large pieces of blind bear meat on the sledge and asked, "How is it? Did the process go smoothly?"
"With the wolverines you sent, things will be much easier!"
Lu Lu smiled and said: "Second brother, how did you get that wolverine?"
"Today, when I untied the horses and let them graze on the grassy slope and snow, I encountered a horse that suddenly came down from the tree and went to bite the horse. Fortunately, by coincidence, it was my horse that bit me.
I heard the horse scream and ran over to take a look, just in time to see it being thrown off by my horse and being stepped on twice.
This thing is really sturdy. If it were a human being stepped on by a horse, he would probably be dead a long time ago. But it is alive and kicking and ready to bite the horse again. I didn't think you might be able to use it.
He didn't use the gun, but found a stick to hit him with.
As a result, after I swung the stick, it chased me and bit me very fiercely. Finally, I used the hunting net in the hunting bag to catch it, tied it up and sent it to you. See the mouth of Cangzi.
The snow has not moved, it just stays there.”
Liang Kangbo said happily: "This thing almost smoked me to death. The smell on my body is so unpleasant."
Lu Lu had been attacked by a wolverine, and he had personally experienced the wolverine's fierceness, which was not afraid of death and only kept busy biting. It was ferocious and aggressive, but that was its nature.
"You weren't hurt, were you?" Lu Lu asked with concern.
"No, it was enough to be stepped on by a horse. It was a disaster, but it was still affected a lot... There is no problem with the horse. Now I really believe that the Oroqen horse can fight with wild beasts. Not only
It can step on, kick, and bite! With a few jumps, the wolverine jumped off the tree and was shaken off its back... It left a few claw marks on its skin. I looked at them and they were all
It's some skin injuries, and they've already been treated with medicine."
Liang Kangbo is now very satisfied with these Oroqen horses, which don't look very tall.
"As long as it's okay..."
Lu Lu took out the two bear hearts that he had specially left behind. Seeing that the firewood was raging, he looked for a stick and pulled the thick charcoal underneath, then buried the two bear hearts in the charcoal fire and burned them.
Then, he took out the leopard gallbladder, found a bowl, used a hunting knife to break the gallbladder to release the bile, then cut the bear liver he brought back several times in the middle, and poured the bile directly on it.
After putting them together, they were also placed in charcoal fire and burned.
"What are you doing? I have prepared a lot of food..." Liang Kangbo looked a little confused.
"Brother Lu plans to let us all taste the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"
Chen Xiuqing interjected from the side: "It's to embolden everyone."
Lu Lu also smiled and said: "Actually, I mainly want to taste it. What is it like? One thing is for sure, it is very good for the body. You have to eat something in the evening... In addition, you can add a little more wine tonight.
Drink a lot, but you’re not allowed to get drunk.”
When several people heard this, they all laughed.
Lu Lu has always been very strict about drinking, fearing that drunkenness will cause trouble.
After the food was reheated, a group of people sat around the fire and chatted. After waiting for more than half an hour, Lu Lu pulled out the bear heart and leopard gallbladder stewed bear liver from the charcoal ashes.
After patting off the surface layer of plant ash and scraping the burnt parts with a hunting knife, Lu Lu cut both items into pieces.
The bear's heart was okay, but the smell of simmered liver with gall was terrible. It was offensive to the nose. Once burned by the charcoal, the bile was integrated into the bear's liver. When the bear's liver was cut open, it looked yellow-green.
Several people looked on in shock, wondering whether they could eat it.
Lu Lu ignored them, found a bowl, and dipped a paste of chili pepper into the water.
Things were kept simple and crude.
"Taste it..."
Lu Lu motioned to several people.
But a few people just smiled, looked around, and didn't even think about it.
Lu Lu shook his head. He first took a piece of bear liver, dipped it in the water, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly: "It's a little bitter, but it's not unacceptable!"
Under his guidance, several people each tasted a piece, and their expressions became wonderful.
However, I was brave enough to know that it was good food. No matter how unpalatable it was, I couldn’t bear to spit it out. I swallowed it all, and then each of them was busy taking out their own wine bottles and pouring wine into their mouths. Finally, I felt a lot better.
.
Only Lu Lu ate one piece after another, eating four or five pieces in a matter of minutes, with a calm look on his face, leaving everyone stunned.
"Brother Lu, you..." Chen Xiuqing frowned: "Don't you think it's too hard?"
Lu Lu raised his head and glanced at him: "I know it's a good thing, but what's the point of being bitter? Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, you have to taste all the five flavors of life. Maybe only by experiencing bitterness can you appreciate the excitement of other tastes."
These words sounded a bit strange to several people. They all felt that Lu Lu seemed to be a different person now. The more they thought about it, the more profound they felt.
So, everyone took their chopsticks and ate the stewed bear liver with leopard gallbladder, and then the bear heart.
I don’t know why, but after eating these things, it seems that when I eat other things, it really tastes more delicious.
They don't know that bitter food can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and bile. The combination of these series of effects will increase appetite, promote digestion, and have a good effect on improving physical fitness.
In the next few days, a few people chose good terrain to hunt prey for several days in the surrounding area.
Finally it's time to go back.
I didn’t see any savages, and nothing special happened. Without so many disturbances, I just focused on finding prey and setting traps. The harvest was naturally better than ever.
As far as sables are concerned, there are never as many sables in the Greater Khingan Mountains as there are in the Lesser Khingan Mountains. Naturally, the number of sables hunted is much less than in the Lesser Khingan Mountains.
However, there are many more blind bears, brown bears, lynxes, water dogs, badgers, foxes, ocelots, red deer, etc. here than in the Xiaoxinan Mountains. This is probably because the originality of the forest is much better than in the Xiaoxingan Mountains.
There are many people there, and there are relatively few people active inside.
The good meat finally caught, together with the skins caught these days, filled the sledge that the six people came here with.
Take these things back, save some of the meat for a few families, and the rest can be divided among the people in the village.
Those furs probably won't last more than four or five days. I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task of removing oily skin. There are still a lot of things to do.
While driving the sledge back, Zhang Shaofeng looked at the harvest and said, "I really want to do it again before the Chinese New Year!"
"We have to go to Guofu's place to catch sika deer, and tomorrow we have to go to Tahe to catch flying dragons. We have to make two trips here." Lu Lu said with a smile: "When we catch flying dragons next year, we can also catch them. However, in
Before that, we have to make arrangements for the venue."
Lu Lu has actually been thinking about whether it is better to breed flying dragons, cages or nets, but he has never been able to make up his mind. Mainly because he thinks that if he does it this way, the flying dragons will be too densely packed.
Any breeding, once it becomes intensive, is prone to problems.
But now, it would be a shame to leave a large area of mountains and fields unused. Allowing them to feed themselves, with artificial assistance, seems to be more cost-effective. This way, it can also ensure that they have more activity and sunlight.
, the resistance is naturally stronger.
Birds are designed to spend the winter in snow nests, but this instinct cannot be lost.
However, after much deliberation, it was quite difficult to implement it under the current conditions. In the end, we could only consider the method of half house and half net as a more suitable method, and we had to choose a secondary birch forest.
As long as iron wire and steel wire can be obtained in large quantities, he can directly start the stocking mode. Unfortunately, these days, it is still too difficult to obtain enough quantities.
I can only consider Bai Gou’s remaining wicker weaving ability.
After finishing packing their things, a few people immediately set off on their way back to Jiagadaqi.
This time, they no longer had to travel through ravines and valleys. They drove the sledge directly onto the main road from Jiagedaqi to Tahe.
The snow layer on the road has already been frozen and hardened by the wheels during this period, making it a bit slippery, but fortunately there is no particularly big slope.
However, it was a lonely road. Throughout the whole day, I only saw two cars. One was going to Tahe, and the other was coming out of Tahe.
In the past month, a few people followed this main road and went at least 80 kilometers deep. Horses pulling fully loaded sledges could not cover this much distance in one day.
So, we could only camp halfway down the road.
In the evening, when a few people were eating red deer meat on the grass beside the road, Yuan Bao, who was lying at the door of the tent, suddenly stood up and made a fierce sound towards the road.
Lu Lu stood up and took a look, and saw three people walking down the road from the direction of Tahe, stepping on the snow.
He just glanced at it and went back to the fire to continue roasting and eating meat.
Not long after, the three people glanced this way as they passed the tent, and then walked over in surprise.
When Lu Lu saw the leader, his brows suddenly wrinkled.
