Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

After speaking, the two picked some strawberries, washed them and put them on the stone table, enjoying them while resting.

In the evening, Xiulan baked soft cakes, then cut them into small pieces and fried them with bacon, pickled beans and chanterelles.

After dinner, Lin Heng lay down to rest after coaxing Xiaoxia to sleep. He was too lazy to read or anything. He was still quite tired after running all day today.

Holding my wife in my arms, the two chatted quietly for a few words, and then fell asleep together.

Early the next morning, Lin Heng woke up at half past five. Xiulan next to him was quickly awakened by the sound of him getting dressed. She yawned and sat up.

"We have the dishes and soft pancakes from last night for breakfast. Just sleep for a while and get up again." Lin Heng looked at her and said.

"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer." Xiulan nodded and lay down again. She got up in the middle of the night last night to take care of the child but didn't sleep well and was still a little drowsy.

Lin Heng did some simple exercise, milked the cow, and heated up breakfast on the electric oven. Just after finishing his meal, his father and eldest brother came over and knocked on the door.

"Coming!"

Lin Heng picked up his things and walked out with Xiongba, then locked the door with his backhand.

When Xiulan wants to come out, just come out from the back door and use the key to open the front door.

On the way up the mountain, Father Lin sighed with emotion: "I didn't know I wouldn't be able to gain something today."

Lin Yue responded with a smile: "At least you can pick up the fungi, but the Air Force can't."

"Yes, I definitely don't know how to fly. The prey depends on luck." Lin Heng said. He has been hunting for more than half a year and has no confidence in the area near this house.

"I'm talking about Ganoderma lucidum. I hope I can pick up more." Father Lin said with a smile.

"Then it depends on luck."

Lin Heng walked to the front as he spoke.

Today they still go to Baishigou from Shuijinggou. This is not the shortest route, but it is the best way to take it.

As we entered the forest, we saw patches of fungus, some of which were rotten and some of which had just grown.

Fungi are like this, they grow and die very quickly. They found some newly grown chanterelles in the woodland, but they didn't have the inclination to pick them up now and would wait until they got back.

After a while, they crossed Shuijinggou and came to the inaccessible mountain here. The trees here were tall, there were many fallen trees, and there was a lot of grass growing in the forest.

After walking for a kilometer, they came to a forest of chanterelles. The ground was covered with beautiful chanterelles.

Lin Yue said in surprise: "There are so many chanterelles, I really can't help but want to pick them up!"

Father Lin picked up a few, looked at them, shook his head and said, "They look good, but half of them are actually rotten."

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Lin Heng looked at it and was no longer interested. There were too many worms. Chanterelles are like this. If you don't pick them up for a day, worms will grow.

"Ouch!!"

Just as he was talking, Xiong Ba called out from in front and turned to look at Lin Heng.

Lin Heng hurriedly took a few steps forward and saw three red Ganoderma lucidum flowers on the tree pillar where Xiong Ba stood, which looked like small fans.

"Finally discovered it!"

Lin Heng rubbed Xiong Ba's dog's head, picked off the Ganoderma lucidum, wrapped it in leaves and put it in a bag.

After searching around the area and walking forward, he found several Ganoderma lucidum flowers on the ground and picked them all out excitedly.

Whether Ganoderma grows on trees or on the ground, it absorbs nutrients from rotten trees. Those that grow on the ground mostly absorb nutrients from rotten tree roots in the ground. If you dig lightly, you will find that its roots are on the wood.

"It seems there are a lot of Ganoderma lucidum this time!" Father Lin said happily, he also found a few over there.

The three of them picked up Ganoderma lucidum all the way, and before they knew it, the sun reached their heads, and the beautiful Baishigou also appeared in front of them.

"Let's go down and take a look. I've already seen the mushrooms." Father Lin pointed forward and said.

Lin Heng and Lin Yue walked down to another place next to them. Although the three of them did not encounter prey this morning, their harvest was pretty good.

Lin Heng picked up nearly twenty red Ganoderma lucidums. Because they were very big, they weighed about one and a half kilograms.

Because he had the help of Xiongba, he gained more. His eldest brother and father both weighed just one pound, which was much less than him.

Arriving at Baishigou, Lin Heng first went to the nest where he and Xiulan found the red Ganoderma lucidum the year before last. Unfortunately, there was still no red Ganoderma lucidum this time. There were only two palm-sized ones on a tree pillar next to it.

"It looks like the mycelium here is dead."

Lin Heng shook his head in disappointment and walked down to pick up mushrooms. There were a lot of these small mushrooms here, and they all grew on fallen trees. It was quite a joy to pick them up.

It's just that if you pick too many, you will inevitably feel bored. Your eyes are always on the Ganoderma lucidum. Fortunately, there are a lot of Ganoderma lucidum here. You can often find one or two after walking a few dozen meters.

"What time is it, son? It's almost time for us to sit down and eat, right?" Father Lin shouted from the front.

When Lin Heng looked at his watch, he realized that it was already one o'clock. He kept picking up mushrooms like a treasure hunt and didn't feel the passage of time.

"It's two o'clock, let's eat. Go to the ditch to eat." Lin Heng responded. He didn't find any prey anyway, so he spoke louder.

In Baishigou, his harvest was pretty good. He picked up twenty kilograms of shiitake mushrooms and six or seven taels of red Ganoderma lucidum.

Ganoderma lucidum, like other fungi, has experienced a lot of outbreaks this year.

"Ouch~~"

Lin Heng was about to walk that way when he suddenly heard Xiong Ba calling him on the hillside in the upstream direction.

"Here we come!" Lin Heng walked over with curiosity. As soon as he got close to him, he smelled a strange fragrance.

"It's matsutake!"

Lin Heng quickly recalled it and ran towards it. Sure enough, he saw the matsutake mushrooms that had just emerged on the ground.

"There are matsutake mushrooms here too!" Lin Heng was pleasantly surprised. He picked up a wooden stick and carefully took out the matsutake mushrooms.

I searched around and dug out a total of six palm-sized matsutake mushrooms, which could weigh as much as eighty-two.

"Look for Xiong Ba again and see if there are any more." Lin Heng touched Xiong Ba's head and said.

"Ouch!" Xiongba stood still, as if he would have discovered it a long time ago.

"Okay, let's go back." Lin Heng touched its head, turned around and walked back.

On the edge of Baishigou, Father Lin and his eldest brother had already found a willow tree to sit down. After seeing him for a long time, they came over and asked curiously: "What did you find?"

"Hey, there are six matsutake mushrooms." Lin Heng opened the plastic bag, and a strong fragrance wafted out.

"Good stuff!"

"You are so lucky!"

Both of them were shocked and envious.

Lin Heng said with a smile: "It's too little. I take it home and eat it myself, and I'm too lazy to sell it."

Now he only collects mushrooms to satisfy his appetite, and the only products he sells are Ganoderma lucidum and large quantities of black truffles.

Although matsutake mushrooms are precious, there is no thought of selling these few.

"You can eat it yourself. The soup is very fragrant." Lin's father nodded. He had already eaten it twice after Lin Heng made it.

"I hope I can pick up two this afternoon." Lin Yue said enviously.

Regardless of whether you can make money or not, picking up rare fungi is as exciting as pulling out a golden legend in the game. Dopamine will be secreted crazily, making people extremely happy.

"If there is one, it's easy to find. You can smell the fragrance from a distance."

Lin Heng said something, then took out the soft biscuits and started eating them.

There are simple meals on the mountain, just enough to fill your stomach. After eating, the three of them crossed Baishigou and continued to pick up fungi.

After exploring here for an afternoon, Lin Heng failed to find matsutake. He found three traces of prey, namely wild boar, muntjac and pig badger. Unfortunately, after tracking for a certain distance with Xiongba, they disappeared without a trace. .

It's hard to hunt prey now, so Lin Heng didn't worry too much. He mainly focused on picking up fungi.

After three hours of picking in the afternoon, the total weight of the red Ganoderma lucidum on his body reached five kilograms. Even if it was dried, it would be more than one kilogram, worth more than sixty yuan.

There weren't many shiitake mushrooms, which totaled about forty kilograms, and there were more than ten kilograms of chanterelles.

In addition, many beautiful wild lilies bloomed in the ditch. He picked the flowers and prepared to take them back to his wife.

At around five o'clock, they started walking back, still going back to Shuijinggou, but they took a different route and picked up all the fungi they encountered on the road.

At around six o'clock, when he was about to arrive at Shuijinggou, Lin Heng found the footprints of a pig badger on the ground. They looked very fresh, as if they had just been stepped on in the morning. There was also some chicken fat on the ground. Traces of the bacteria being eaten.

"Xiongba, try again!"

Lin Heng touched Xiong Ba's head and motioned for him to try searching again.

He turned to his father and said something to his eldest brother, and followed Xiong Ba all the way. This tracking lasted for more than half an hour. It was almost dark before they made any discovery.

The traces found on a ridge here are getting fresher and fresher, and they were obviously formed just now.

Lin Heng looked at the direction of the wind and walked forward quietly. After a while, he actually saw a figure with a black and white head. This guy was eating mushrooms in the forest and didn't notice him at all.

Putting the arrow on the bow, Lin Heng walked forward slowly, getting closer and closer. The forest land that had just rained was silent and suitable for hunting. He was a little excited as he hadn't encountered such a big prey in a long time.

"Boom!!"

Just when he was less than 30 meters away from the pig badger, a loud gunshot suddenly came from the rear left, and with a snort, the pig badger turned around and ran away in fright.

Lin Heng was stunned by the sudden gunshot, but Xiongba rushed down without giving up. He closed the distance in just five or six seconds, and then bit the pig badger when it turned a corner. .

As a large dog, Xiongba weighs more than fifty kilograms, while the maximum size of the pig badger is only thirty kilograms. The two sides are not in the same order of magnitude at all.

Xiong Ba bit the pig badger's neck and lifted it up directly. After biting it several times, there was no movement.

"sharp!"

Lin Heng looked at Xiong Ba and gave a thumbs up.

It is true that dogs can chase pigs and badgers, and many dogs can do it, but it is rare for Xiongba to be so fast and accurate, and so fierce.

Xiongba took a few more bites to make sure it was dead, then put it down in front of Lin Heng, holding his head high and waiting to be touched.

Lin Heng rubbed the dog's head hard and praised again: "I will let you eat meat until you are full today."

After receiving Lin Heng's praise, Xiong Ba burst into laughter.

Lin Heng bled the pig badger's claws. Upon closer inspection, he found that the guy's neck had been bitten off by the bully. The bite force was really terrifying.

Carrying the pig badger, he quickly returned to the back and asked from a distance: "What's going on? Brother, was it you who fired the gun?"

Lin Yue responded: "It was me who knocked down a pig badger and almost let it escape."

"What? You also shot a pig badger?" Lin Heng was shocked and ran over to meet his eldest brother's father.

Lin Yue's eyes widened when he looked at the pig badger in Lin Heng's hand: "You also hit one?"

Lin Heng exhaled, smiled and sighed: "It seems that we are from the same nest. You shot in advance when I was about to shoot an arrow, and scared me away. Fortunately, Xiongba was powerful enough to catch it directly."

Hog badgers live in groups, three or four in a group, so it is not surprising to see them nearby.

Lin Yue smiled helplessly: "I have no choice. I found it suddenly. It is right in front of me. I am afraid that it will run away if I don't shoot. There is no way to notify you."

Father Lin rubbed Xiongba's head and smiled happily: "Fortunately, Xiongba is powerful. We have a super big harvest today!"

"Indeed, I didn't expect to meet hog badgers again." Lin Heng grinned. Although the hog badgers are small, their meat is still delicious.

Lin Yue said: "We have been chasing the air force in the mountains for six months. It's time to meet prey."

"No more talking, go home and get food quickly. We will fry hog badger meat tonight." Father Lin helped his two sons pick up mushrooms and said with a smile.

The two of them hurried back carrying the hog badgers. They were also hungry. On the way, the two compared the two. The one that Lin Heng caught was a little bigger, weighing more than 20 kilograms, while the one that his elder brother caught was only about 18 or 19 kilograms.

When he got home, Lin Heng knocked on the door quickly. When Xiulan and Xiaoxia came to open the door, he held mushrooms in one hand and a wild hog in the other hand to show off: "Awesome, a big harvest today!"

"You also caught a wild hog, so awesome!!" Xiulan was really shocked, because Lin Heng hadn't caught a decent prey in half a year.

Xiaoxia was even more direct, jumping and cheering: "Wow, Dad is the best, my dad is the best!!"

"Hahaha, not only that, my elder brother also caught one, which is smaller than mine, and I also picked up five kilograms of mushrooms." Lin Heng laughed, and the expressions of his wife and children made him happy physically and mentally.

"Today is indeed a big harvest. I'll go back and put the mushrooms down first, and call your mother to come over later." Father Lin said and left with his things.

Lin Heng returned to the house, threw the things on the ground, picked up Xiaoxia and threw her in the air, caught her and played with her for a while, then hugged Xiulan tightly and turned her in the air twice.

"Look at you, you are more excited than if you killed a black bear!" Xiulan picked the spider silk from his hair and said with a smile.

"You don't understand, I have been empty-handed for half a year this year, and finally I have caught something!"

Lin Heng said excitedly after taking a big sip of water. Although he did not go into the mountains this year, he often went hunting, and he was a little depressed because he had been empty-handed all the time.

I didn't expect to catch a big thing today, how could I not be excited? Not showing off to the whole village was already restrained.

"I understand, I understand, Dad is the best." Xiaoxia said while holding Lin Heng's legs, she still wanted to be lifted up high.

Xiulan patted his clothes and smiled, "Go change your clothes quickly, so that you can deal with the wild hog badger."

"Change later, kill the wild hog badger first."

Lin Heng sat down and explained the thrills to his wife and children. After listening, Xiulan felt his mood.

"You also got matsutake mushrooms, which is really amazing today. You should be rewarded." Xiulan said as she looked at the mushrooms she picked.

Lin Heng laughed and said, "That's easy. Let's fight for 300 rounds tonight!"

"Go to hell, Xiaoxia is still here." Xiulan slapped him, her pretty face slightly red.

Xiaoxia clapped her hands: "Okay, I want to see mom and dad fight for 300 rounds!"

Lin Heng: "..."

Xiulan: "..."
