Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

It was difficult to walk through the bushes. The two men came down and Xiongba and Fengshou had already bitten the wild boar.

But as the saying goes, a wounded wild boar is as fierce as a tiger. Xiongba bit one of them on the neck and the other on the tail, but the wild boars rushed forward and threw them away.

After throwing the two dogs away, this guy didn't run away. His huge mouth and fangs were aimed at Xiongba. For a while, Xiongba and Fengshou couldn't get close.

"Brother, lend me the gun to play with." Lin Heng looked at his eldest brother and said.

"Here." Lin Yue handed it to Lin Heng without hesitation.

Lin Heng took a look and found that there was a bullet in it.

"Come back."

Lin Heng walked up and shouted. Xiongba and Fengshou turned their heads and ran back immediately.

The wild boar with red eyes didn't want to run anymore. When he saw people rushing towards him, he came over.

Lin Heng aimed his gun and shot. With a loud bang, the wild boar in the rushing state fell down directly.

Lin Heng shot several balls into its brain, and any carbon-based creature would not survive.

"Damn, a wild boar, this must be so annoying." Lin Yue ran over to take a look and was immediately disappointed.

"I knew it was a boar, sows are not so crazy." Lin Heng walked over and said.

After taking a breath, he smiled again: "It's okay, there are two more pig eggs, and they can be roasted and eaten."

"That's all I can think of, but we're lucky to have a good start at the beginning."

Lin Yue nodded, bent down and moved it, and said with difficulty: "This must be one hundred and fifty, the prey in this autumn is fat."

"I'll bleed it, and then we'll set a trap here, maybe we can catch the prey tomorrow."

As Lin Heng said this, he took out a dagger and bled it directly, and the blood flowed all over the ground.

"Bing ying!!"

"Ao ao!!"

The two dogs Xiongba Fengshou shook their heads and tails and came over to lick the blood, very happy.

After draining the blood, Lin Heng and his elder brother first set up a Yama Wang hanging on the nearby animal trail, and then waited for the two dogs to lick it almost, and then put a clamp near the blood.

They put the clamp, and there were cross marks made of stones nearby. The prey could not understand it, but humans could see the mark at a glance.

Under normal circumstances, it would not hurt people.

After the arrangement was completed, the two tied up the wild boar and carried it back.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and there was a red glow in the sky, but it was still in time to go back.

Going home in a straight line, unlike when we came here because we had to take a detour to find the wild boar, so the speed of returning was still quite fast.

After walking for two hours, the sun was half hidden behind the mountain, and they were also close to the camp.

On this side of the camp, he, Lu Honghai, and Lu Honggang went out hunting, and now only Li Baiquan was left.

On this side of the camp, the leaves around the surroundings were cleared, and a windproof firewall was set up with stone blocks.

In the middle of the five shelters, a large rainproof roof was also raised.

Four pieces of wood as thick as arms were used to support it. A frame was built on the top with wood, and some branches were laid. A lot of mud mixed with loess and pine needles was laid on the surface.

Because a fire was to be made under the roof, mud was used so that the roof would not be set on fire.

Under the roof, two cigarette cases were made with yellow mud and stones, which could be used for cooking and boiling water.

In addition to this, Li Baiquan built his own shelter and was now making rice for it, preparing to eat rice with pickles in the evening.

Suddenly he heard someone talking outside. When he heard that it was his two nephews, he was immediately happy: "Lin Heng and Lin Yue, you are finally back. Did you kill the prey?"

"A big wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms, come and help." Lin Heng shouted with a smile.

"Is it true? Don't lie to your uncle, kid." Li Baiquan didn't believe it and walked out while saying it.

When he saw Lin Heng and the other two really carrying a pig, he was stunned and dumbfounded.

"Oh my God, you really killed a big wild boar!" Li Baiquan finally exclaimed.

It was incredible that we had killed a wild boar on the first day.

"Of course, uncle will help kill it later." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"It's a pity that it's a male wild boar, and it smells very bad." Lin Yue also laughed.

"This is what we can kill, awesome!" Li Baiquan gave a thumbs up, came over to help Lin Heng carry it, and then said, "Tell me how you killed it?"

"Okay."

The two came to the camp and put the things down. They drank a sip of water and rested while talking about the hunting process.

"Oh my God, it seems that we really came to the right place this time. We also saw sika deer. Killing one of them is also very valuable, and the meat is delicious." Li Baiquan said excitedly, and he decided to go out for a walk tomorrow.

"My target is black bears, and it would be best if I could kill two of them." Lin Heng grinned, black bears are really valuable.

Of course, it's okay to kill two of the musk deer, but these things are harder to kill than black bears.

"By the way, didn't my uncle come back?" Lin Yue asked.

"I came back in the afternoon and didn't catch anything. Then I went out with your third uncle again, holding a flashlight, saying that we would hunt golden pheasants in the evening." Li Baiquan said.

After chatting for a while, they set up a rack and started to process the wild boar. There was no way to scald the hair with water on this wild mountain.

So they chose the simplest method - burning it.

They first cut the wild boar into strips, then put it on the fire to burn the hair, and then scraped it with a knife after burning.

"Don't be afraid of the pork meat. When it is made into bacon, 70% of it can be removed. Then it is boiled and mixed with onion, turmeric and wine, and the taste is basically gone." Li Baiquan said while processing.

After the hair was burned, the wild boar was smeared with heavy salt, spread a thin film on the ground and piled it together, sprinkled some wild pepper picked on the road, marinated it overnight, then hung it up and smoked it tomorrow.

It was already past eight o'clock when the meat was processed. They saved the pork tenderloin for dinner tonight and cooked the pig lungs and fed them to the two dogs.

Then the three of them took the pig's offal and went to a distant stream to process it. The small pool here couldn't handle the pig's offal.

Everyone likes to eat large intestines and small intestines, and they taste great when fried.

After processing the pig offal by the stream, it was almost ten o'clock when we returned to the camp.

The rice had been prepared a long time ago. Lin Heng cut the tenderloin, added some cooking wine and wild peppercorns while frying, and then added some enoki and oyster mushrooms picked up during the day.

"There is also Hericium erinaceus that your uncle picked up here. Do you want to get some?" Li Baiquan took it out and asked.

"Let's wait until tomorrow to eat that." Lin Heng shook his head.

After the vegetables were fried, they ate first. They were too hungry to wait for their uncle and uncle to come back before eating.

Just as they finished their meal, there was movement in the woods in the distance.

"Uncle and third uncle, how was your harvest?" Lin Heng asked curiously.

"I shot two golden pheasants, and your third uncle shot a hazel pheasant. How about you guys?" Lu Honghai asked.

"We can eat chicken tomorrow morning." Lu Honggang also said.

"We also caught prey, which was piled on the ground." Lin Heng pointed to the meat piled next to him. His elder brother and uncle were peeling off the pig's head.

"No! So big??"

"You killed a big wild boar??"

The two walked in to take a closer look and were stunned for a moment, their eyes as wide as bells.

"No, how did you hit him?" Lu Honghai couldn't believe it.

"Over there in the northwest..." Lin Yue was very keen to explain.

Although Lin Heng had already told him to ignore the role of Xiongba, Lu Honghai still noticed it after finishing the explanation.

"You are an extraordinary dog. Lend it to me." He looked at the two dogs and said. He was a little disdainful of them before, but now his attitude has completely changed.

"Xiongba doesn't lend it out. If you want to borrow it, uncle, please take Fengsheng over." Lin Heng touched Fengsheng and said.

"I wonder if you are an extraordinary tyrant?" Lu Honghai asked looking at the big wolf dog lying next to him.

"It's okay, but I won't borrow it, and I won't borrow it even if my dad comes here." Lin Heng glanced at Xiong Ba and said.

Xiongba was too important to him, and no one would borrow it from him. If he accidentally injured a dog while hunting, he would have no place to reason.

On one side is the elder he has a good relationship with, and on the other side is his beloved dog, so the best way is not to borrow it.

Xiongba is not only his guarantee for hunting, but he has also developed feelings for him over the past few years, just like his son.

When he hunts, he usually only lets the bully track him, and will not let him chase his prey, for fear that it will be in danger.

"Okay, I'll lend you a good harvest." Lu Honghai wasn't angry either.

After sitting down, he ate and chatted with everyone. He said, "I also found black bear footprints today. There are indeed a lot of bears around here."

"Where did you find your uncle?" Lin Heng said immediately.

Lu Honghai said: "While walking south in the woods, I also saw the traces of black bears on the house. This guy is really scary and too powerful."

In addition to black bears, he also found traces of many other animals, and it seemed that there were more prey than they had there.

However, after hearing about Lin Heng's sighting of sika deer, Lu Hong, Hai and Lu Honggang both decided to go to the northwest together tomorrow.

Li Baiquan continues to stay and guard the camp, and will smoke the wild boar meat tomorrow.

The meat smoked by cutting down some pine trees in the forest will have a fragrance.

"How about uncle, you go hunting tomorrow and I stay here to smoke meat." Lin Heng looked at his uncle and said.

He knew that his uncle was a runner and it was boring to stay alone in the camp.

"It's okay. I'll smoke the meat first, and then I'll go back when you're tired from running." Li Baiquan said with a smile.

"That's okay too."

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Heng took a sip of rice wine before going to bed, and then returned to his shelter to rest.

Before going to bed, I wrapped two golden roosters in mud to make a beggar's chicken. They will be eaten for lunch during the hunting tomorrow. There are also a few potatoes burned together, which were obtained from Yuanbao Village.

The nights in the mountains were getting colder and colder. He sealed the two ends of the herringbone shelter with film paper, and with Xiongba inside, it wasn't particularly cold.

Early the next morning, they got up early and made noodles, cut large intestines and stir-fried them with sauerkraut, made a fat intestine noodles and ate them before going hunting.

After setting off, I first went to the place where the trap was laid out yesterday and took a look at it from a distance.

There was no movement. This is normal. These traps are not that fast.

There was no hope here, so they walked along yesterday's road to the place where the sika deer was found.

"Why did you get into such a thing?"

Lin Heng was speechless when he came to the place where the pigs were bled yesterday. There was an extra weasel on the clamp, and the stench from the odor glands could be smelled from a distance.

Because the clamp was so big, the guy was directly pinched to death, but the temporary odor of the clamp could not be removed.

"Throw it away, don't want it anymore." After looking at it, Lin Heng threw the weasel to Xiong Ba and Fengsheng. They didn't want to eat it at all.

"Chop half of the meat into half, and then peel off the remaining skin and feed it to the dogs."

Lu Honggang picked it up and took out a knife to deal with it. He felt that it would be a waste to throw it away directly.

After dealing with the weasel, they walked to the place where they found the sika deer yesterday. It was already noon.

They took out the potatoes and golden chicken that they had baked last night and shared them. After eating, they split into two groups and moved forward from two directions.

Lin Heng was with his third uncle, and his eldest brother was with his eldest uncle.

Lu Honggang was honest and simple. He followed Lin Heng and said, "Hengwa, you find the way and I will follow you."

"I don't think there is much hope of finding sika deer today. Let's look for places where they lick salt and set a few traps."

Lin Heng thought about it and said.

"That's fine." Lu Honggang nodded in agreement.

With Xiongba, they searched all the way. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they found a salty place under a cliff. The soil and stones here obviously had traces of being licked and were rounded.

"This is the place." Lin Heng nodded. He did not set traps here, but went to the side to set them on the animal path.

It was still a trap without bait. With bait, it would only attract mice and voles.

Lin Heng's strategy was to keep setting traps. A month was long enough. As time went by, something would definitely be caught in his traps.

Not only the clip traps, but also the noose traps. Lin Heng couldn't make traps like the "bridge pair" in a short time.

After setting the traps, he spent the rest of the time searching for sika deer. As expected, he failed.

However, it was not easy to be empty-handed in autumn. When he came to a wasteland, Lin Heng saw two rabbits grazing in the distance. He shot the rabbits with a bow and nailed them to the ground.

"Great!"

Lu Honggang was impressed. He couldn't learn his nephew's skills.

"This rabbit is not bad. Let's go back." Lin Heng said with a smile.

On the way back, he also explored a bit. At dusk, he heard the golden rooster calling and shot a golden rooster.

He didn't see the others. Prey was still difficult to find.

At night, everyone gave up going out hunting under Lin Heng's suggestion because there were bears nearby and it was too dangerous at night.

Just get up early and hunt at dusk, set some traps, and there will be no other things.

In the camp, Li Baiquan cooked the pork very beautifully, and the color of the smoked pine needles was very straight.

They ate pig offal these two days, which tasted better than meat after being processed.

There was no big harvest for the next two days. Lin Heng was obsessed with setting traps. When the ropes he brought were used up, he used vines and made vertical bridges to trap.

[Simplified diagram]

This kind of trap uses the strong toughness of the tree itself. Generally, trees with strong toughness of about five centimeters are selected.

Fix one end of the tree to the big tree, and tie rows of bamboo spikes on the other end. After pulling it apart, wooden sticks are used as support. The pillars must also be connected to the pull line, the stick and the rolling stick to form a state that only requires a small force to trigger.

When the prey passes here and triggers the rope trap, they will be nailed to the big tree directly.

Traps are usually set up on animal trails, and are very lethal to creatures of this size, such as muntjacs, forest musk deer, and wild boars.

Lin Heng was obsessed with setting traps, and was not at all worried about the air force in recent days. Recently, he discovered something very interesting.
