A well-fed hunting dog’s mobility will be greatly reduced.
Lu Lu knew this very well.
Just like people, after eating a full meal and exercising strenuously, it is easy to get a stomachache.
Anyway, it was already dark, so Lu Lu was not in a hurry. He led Yuan Baoniang and the four of them to walk slowly in the forest. There was no need to rush, and there was no need to rush.
Bringing them with them has only one purpose: to warn.
With their keen sense of smell and excellent hearing, they can always detect potential dangers and abnormalities far away and issue warnings in advance.
The moon is very good tonight, as bright as jade.
The watery moonlight pours down through the trees, casting a mottled pattern, and one can identify the path even without a lantern.
Lu Lu still carried the lantern. Even though the light seemed weak, it could scare many wild animals.
Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If you eat it by yourself, you will get some yellow hairs and the like, and there will be plenty of opportunities.
Reach out and brush the fur, it will be smooth, soft and comfortable!
Putting away the wooden clamps and the wire rope, Lu Lu led the four Yuan Baoniang towards another wooden clamp with water dog feces bait on it.
This mountain raccoon was unlucky. He put his head out to eat the water dog feces placed on the wooden clamp. When he touched the clamp, he was directly clamped around his neck and suffocated.
These are all good things. If you give them away for sale, a rough estimate will cost them no less than three hundred yuan.
As for the pork, he chose some good ones, washed them with hot water, cut them into small pieces, and prepared them for cooking with some oil.
I don’t know what kind of big beast I noticed.
Two clips are harvested, and greyhounds and pheasants are harvested at least half a month before topping it.
There are many animals that have a special liking for water dog excrement, some are big and some are small. When it comes to bigger ones, the wooden clamps are not enough to see them, so Lu Lu doesn't hold out much hope.
After a brief recognition, Lu Lu was very happy.
Last night I asked an old man who knows how to make skis, and he learned that skis must be made of yellow-haired pigs, which are more than 100 kilograms of wild boar skins. This kind of wild boar skins weighing 400 to 500 kilograms is not suitable, so I have to give up. But
, the stiff bristles on it can be sold for money.
However, Lu Lu did not issue any order to arrest, and the four Yuan Baoniangs followed quietly.
"Yuanbao!" Lu Lu quickly called out.
Night is a good time for many nocturnal wild animals to be active, but the hidden dangers are even greater than during the day.
I ran to the river, brushed my teeth, and washed my face in the river water. Being stimulated by the cold river water, Lu Lu's head, which was still a little groggy, immediately woke up and he became energetic.
Another valuable leather.
As for the pigskin, Lu Lu tied it to a big tree next to the cellar, more than thirty centimeters above the ground.
The whole forest was very quiet, and all Lu Lu could hear was the rustling of leaves when walking, the swishing of withered grass branches, and the pounding of his own heartbeat.
Water dog meat is also good, it has the functions of supporting yang, nourishing the kidneys, relieving coughs, and killing insects.
This is clearly a mountain civet, also called an ocelot or a golden cat.
When the pot is taken out, the strips of meat are on fire and smoky, and the whole morning passes by without even realizing it.
Lu Lu stepped forward, opened the clamp on the wooden board, and took off the water dog.
Lu Lu poured some warm water into the wild boar belly to clean the inside. After rinsing away the debris inside, he used a knife to open the pig belly. When he saw a lot of boils inside, he immediately smiled.
He quickly got up and opened all the small doors and windows of the cellar to ventilate the room.
When I woke up the next morning, it was already bright.
I don’t know if these boils are caused by the bites of venomous snakes that entered the belly, but it does not prevent people from taking the number of these boils as a sign of the quality of wild boar belly.
It was a small beast the size of a domestic cat with copper coin markings on its body.
Then, all that was left was a wild boar belly.
Now, the power of this slingshot is enough to kill someone if it hits the head.
He opened the clamp directly, took out the mountain beetle, and tied it with the water dog.
Of course, Lu Lu also knew that it was impossible to have such a cheap thing every day, but it was enough to make him look forward to his future life.
When hunters of the older generation catch prey, they have the habit of taking the belly of the prey back and eating it themselves, which means: the grain is full and the warehouse is full, and there will be a good harvest.
The strong clamp clamped the long, slippery and soft body, but it was not easy to break free. It was already a little exhausted.
Hearing the sound, Shuigouzi struggled to drag the wooden clamp, jumped up, opened his mouth to bite Yuanbao, but because the wire rope attached was not long enough, he fell to the ground under the tension, and stood up again.
He roared at the incoming Yuan Bao.
People have recognized the benefits of wild boar tripe very early on, and it has become a high-end food ingredient in later generations. It is very effective in treating stomach problems, so a wild boar tripe is often sold for thousands of dollars.
The shrill screams heard at this time were the strange screams made by the water dog when it was trapped. Lu Lu could even hear the sound of it dragging the wooden clamps and struggling and colliding on the rocks on the river beach.
This saved Lu Lu a lot of trouble.
When Yuan Bao saw it, he immediately shouted and rushed forward.
Making money is a process of gathering less and making more. There are too few things that make you fat in one bite.
The water dog let out a shrill cry and fell to the ground, its legs trembling and its tail sweeping back and forth on the ground.
The water dog was kept as a pet by many people in later generations. They liked its cute appearance and its yelping sound, but to Lu Lu, it was money.
Lu Lu came closer and placed the lantern on the dead tree stump above its cave to illuminate it. To prevent himself from being bitten, he took out the slingshot he carried with him and hit it hard on the head.
It's not easy to find him just by looking for him on the mountain and among the dogs.
The wild boar with thick fur and thick skin eats a variety of foods, including herbs, eggs, mushrooms, hares, mountain rats, and venomous snakes. As long as it is edible, it will eat anything. Its belly can be said to be immune to all poisons.
The water dog soon became silent.
Three hundred...that's a lot of money!
Just this pork belly can be sold for tens of yuan if it is sent to the district. If someone with knowledge sees it, it can be sold for tens of yuan. If it is sent to Yichun, it can be sold for even more.
Lu Lu is not particular about this aspect. For him, it is more practical to exchange it for money.
Lu Lu still pulled out the bristles one by one as much as possible, tied them up with straw ropes made of ural grass, and put them in a bag.
However, the wood board clamp was connected to the wooden pile driven deeply into the soil by a strong steel wire rope. It could only circle around the pile and did not have enough strength to break free, so it could only roar continuously.
However, Lu Lu had no intention of doing this. He cut the water dog meat into several pieces and fed them to the three puppies respectively. He needed them to remember the smell.
A small animal escaping in the bushes or jumping on a tree branch somewhere can also cause the four Yuanbao Niangs to make fierce whining sounds.
The mountain raccoon didn't even eat the water dog's excrement. The clamp bounced up and collapsed again. Lu Lu simply collected the excrement again, set the wooden clamp in place again, and then held the lantern and led the
The four of them walked back with Yuan Bao Niang.
Don't look small, the little thing is very fierce, especially the sharp teeth in its mouth, which should not be underestimated.
Stepping on the big tree on the river to cross to the other side, Lu Lu heard the shrill screams coming from near the entrance of Shuigouzi's cave in the distance. He couldn't help but feel happy: "The goods are on sale!"
This is also a good thing.
When it comes to finding prey, you still have to rely on hunting dogs.
Fortunately, we finally reached the river safely.
The night road in the mountains and forests makes even a person like Lu Lu feel a little nervous.
Thinking of the water dog, mountain raccoon, and all the wild boar and pig belly, we have to quickly process and preserve them. We can't go up the mountain today.
Occasionally Yuan Bao barked at something, and Lu Lu immediately stopped and raised his gun to be cautious for a while until Yuan Bao stopped barking.
This way back, the walk was relatively brisk.
The underground cellar was stuffy all night, filled with the fishy smell of wild boar meat, which made Lu Lu frown involuntarily.
Although the meat of mountain civet can also be used as medicine, it cannot be sold at a high price these days, so Lu Lu planned to eat it at night.
Hurrying a few steps to the entrance of Shuigouzi's cave, Lu Lu raised the lantern and saw that the wooden clamps were clamping the back of Shuigouzi's neck and his short forelimbs.
But in fact, underneath this silence, there is a different kind of excitement.
Perhaps because the smell of meat oil was too much, Lu Lu didn't even think about eating, so he simply took out the water dog seeds and mountain civet seeds, and peeled them carefully.
Lu Lu was already familiar with a set of procedures, and it didn't take long to peel off the fur, shovel the oily skin on the wooden stakes, wash and dry the water, stuff the urala grass to tighten it, and send it to the immortal pillar to dry in the shade.
This is a matter of using a knife, and it is also a delicate job.
He added a lot of salt to the basin, kneaded and washed the pig belly, cleaned it, took it back to the cellar, and baked and dried it over a charcoal fire. This made it easier to preserve and sell it later.
As for Shuigouzi, it is a good thing. Its liver itself is a precious traditional Chinese medicine. Just dry it and preserve it.
And this is just one day's harvest.
The intact fur should not be treated like a wild boar, a blind bear, or the like.
According to older hunters, wild boars are swallowing poisonous snakes, and the poisonous snakes will bite the inner wall of the wild boar's belly. When eating various plants and roots for a long time, many of them are Chinese herbal medicines. These things are mixed, soaked, and fermented in the belly.
It has a very strong ability to heal wounds. When someone is bitten in the stomach, a boil will form after healing.
But when I got closer, I unexpectedly saw that there was something on the wooden clip.
The preparation is also very simple, just cut into strips and dried in the sun.
In the future, if you save a lot, it can be a small amount of money.
This journey was actually a bit scary.
The three puppies were jumping around and were trying to learn basic skills. The three little guys were quickly attracted by the smell of blood. They came to the pig skin, biting and tearing the skin, making them whimper and collapse.
It’s also a great way to exercise.
Yesterday, I harvested two greyhound skins, one mink skin, one yellow skin, one water dog skin plus a pair of livers, and one ocelot skin.
The sound of flapping wings of a big bird that suddenly flies up from the branches, and the sudden and terrifying cry of a night owl in the night sky can always make people's hair stand on end.
He boiled hot water for himself, washed his face and soaked his feet, then changed the sheets that were stained with blood and water stains after treating Zhao Meiling's injuries, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep soon after.
Some of the remaining meat is kept for feeding the dogs, and some is smoked to preserve it.
The more boils there are, the higher the value of the boar belly.
After returning to Dixiangzi safely, seeing that it was getting late, Lu Lu was not in a hurry to deal with it. He had been busy all day and his body was obviously tired.
While he was carefully roasting the wild boar belly, footsteps came from outside.
Yuan Bao and the three puppies didn't say anything, and Lu Lu knew that it was one of the Chen Xiuqing brother and sister, Wang Demin and Duan Niang without going out.
Hearing the strong and steady footsteps, he immediately recognized that it was Chen Xiuqing.
Sure enough, Chen Xiuqing quickly poked her head in at the door of the underground cellar: "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
