Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Helping to carry the wild boar into the camp, Lin Heng asked and found out that it was his uncle who first found and injured it, and then his eldest brother shot it dead after the three chased it for several hours.

"It will be better now. It is a female wild boar, estimated to be two or three years old." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Yes, it is okay. You warm up by the fire, we will burn the hair and then cut open the belly."

While roasting the fire, his uncle and uncle began to learn from him to change the small branches to increase the force area.

"Why, uncle and uncle, do you think this thing is useful now?" Lin Heng said sarcastically with a smile.

The two smiled awkwardly, and Lu Honghai said, "We originally thought this thing was useless, but after seeing Lin Yue use it, we found that the effect is quite good."

"It seems that we don't have as much life experience as you." Li Baiquan also said with a smile.

They originally thought that they were more experienced than Lin Heng in life, but now this idea is gone, and they have a feeling of admiration for Lin Heng.

"I was just joking." Lin Heng replied, and then he got some pine needles and concentrated on burning the pig hair.

When killing pigs in the mountains, you can only use fire to burn the hair, and it took a lot of effort to burn the pig hair clean.

Then it was the inherent process of opening the intestines and stomachs, dividing the meat into strips, applying salt and hanging them to dry.

Because there was not much salt, it was applied very lightly this time, but it would not be bad to make bacon with less salt in cold weather.

They ate a tenderloin and stewed a pig leg in the evening. The rest were all made into bacon and dried, and the large and small intestines were the same, and they were left there to air dry.

The pig lungs were fed to the dogs, and the pig hearts, livers and kidneys were fried for people to eat.

The snow on the mountain could not melt. After December, the high mountains would basically have more or less snow, and the peaks like Taibai Mountain were even frozen.

In the next few days, in addition to smoking bacon, everyone went out to look for prey. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already December 3rd.

The sun came out early in the morning, and the snow was melting. The forest suddenly became very cold, and people felt shivering even when wrapped in animal skins.

During the meal, the forest was full of dripping sounds. The last bit of snow on the trees had completely melted, and only the snow on the ground in the forest could continue to be strong.

"Let's start packing today. If there are a lot of things, we have to move them twice more."

Lin Heng said during the meal.

Li Baiquan waved his hand and said, "I don't think it's necessary. There are five of us. The things here add up to only about four or five hundred kilograms. We can move them all at once and walk slowly."

"Five people should be able to take it all, but I don't know if the car can fit it." Lin Yue said. Xiaozhuo Township is so backward that it doesn't even have a tractor.

"This is indeed a problem. If it doesn't work, just make two trips." Lin Heng thought about it and said.

"That's the only way. I guess we can't take it all in one trip." Lu Honghai said.

After dinner, Lin Heng looked at the things in the camp now.

His main gains:

Fur: 2 wolf skins, 1 yellow muntjac skin, half a forest musk deer skin, 1 stone marten skin, 1 white rice skin, 2 yellow throat marten skins, 8 weasel skins, 5 rabbit skins, 6 squirrel skins.

Meat: 4 golden pheasants, 2 grouse, 3 hazel grouse, a wild boar (already eaten), wolf meat (more than 40 kilograms), yellow muntjac meat (more than 20 kilograms), forest musk deer meat (about 10 kilograms), yellow throat marten meat (about 5 kilograms).

In addition, he also harvested a portion of musk, as well as some saffron, cordyceps, Cistanche deserticola, etc.

All of the above are to be divided among others. He is the main contributor, and others have additional contributions.

There are also items that belong to him alone: ​​a bezoar, about one or two taels of saffron, one kilogram of cordyceps, as well as 4 Yuan Datou coins and some change.

His eldest brother Lin Yue's main harvest: 1 wolf skin, 2 yellow-throated marten skins, 2 weasel skins, 3 rabbit skins,

He also has musk deer skins and musk deer musk, which he and his uncle Li Baiquan harvested together, each of them got half the credit.

He also left meat: yellow-throated marten meat (5 catties), musk deer meat (about 10 catties), 5 wax pheasants, 2 grouse, and 1 wax pheasant.

His uncle Lu Honghai: 1 roe deer skin, 1 white rice skin, 8 rabbit skins, and 2 weasel skins.

The meat he left: roe deer meat (about 30 catties) wild boar meat (120 catties), 12 wax pheasants, 6 wax pheasants, and 18 wax bamboo pheasants.

His third uncle Lu Honggang: 1 wild cat skin, 5 rabbit skins, 12 red squirrel skins, and 1 weasel skin.

Meat: 5 wax pheasants, 8 wax bamboo pheasants, and 3 wax grouse.

In addition, he also dug some herbs.

His uncle Li Baiquan: 8 rabbit skins, 5 squirrel skins, 1 weasel skin, musk deer skin (half-half)

Meat: musk deer meat (about 10 jin), 3 wax rabbits, 5 wax golden pheasants, 2 wax grouse, 11 wax bamboo partridges.

He exchanged a lot of Cordyceps sinensis for daily necessities and sold some of the money,

…

Lin Heng first sorted out the things and found that there were indeed a lot, much more than he had imagined.

In addition to meat, there was also bear oil and bear meat, and a lot of animal intestines and small intestines were also dried.

When he took out the merit book to calculate the merits, he was even more confused. Everyone's merits for each prey were different, and they needed to go back and calculate them bit by bit.

"It seems that we are all benefiting from Lin Heng and you guys." Li Baiquan was a little embarrassed, because he had the least prey.

"Including black bears, Lin Heng has killed more prey than all of us combined." Lu Honggang also praised.

"It seems that the effect of setting traps is much better than hunting alone, and your method of trapping prey." Lu Honggang also said.

"Brother, you can teach me when you get back." Lin Yue was also a little shocked.

Normally, people wouldn't realize it if they didn't count them, but now that they've been counted, Lin Heng has crushed them all.

The biggest reason for this is that the traps arranged by Lin Heng are very effective and continue to work.

In addition, Lin Heng also caught a lot of small prey, but many of them did not catch small prey at all, but only wanted to catch big prey. The result is often that the big ones cannot be obtained and the small ones cannot be obtained.

This made the other four people a little embarrassed, feeling as if they had taken advantage of Lin Heng.

"Don't think too much, everyone. I can get so much because you are with me. I can't come alone, let alone stay for so long." Lin Heng waved his hand.

What he said is true. It is true that he can achieve these gains only with the help of everyone. He can't do it alone.

And the little profit that was given out was nothing to him. He was just a bezoar and he made a lot of money this time.

He also thanked everyone. Without their suggestion to come here, he wouldn't have wanted to come, so he wouldn't have had this opportunity.

"It seems that we will still have to set traps for long-term hunting in the future." Lin Yue said with emotion.

"Indeed, I estimate that if we also set up some traps, the harvest will increase a lot." Lu Honggang nodded.

They just wanted to run into the mountains, but they didn't expect that setting traps would be so effective.

"The snow melted today, so let's start moving things tomorrow." Lin Heng said while looking at everyone.

"In this way, tomorrow we will send four people to move things. When we reach Xiaozhuo Township, one person will return, and the remaining three will drive back to the village to pick up the things. After returning to the village, only one will be in the village, and the remaining two will come back. We should be able to get everything back in one trip," Li Baiquan said.

"I think so too." Lin Yue nodded.

"Then let's set off and go up the mountain. Maybe we can gain something in these last two days."

Lin Heng said something and took Xiongba off to find prey.

It’s not easy to walk in the forest when the snow melts. A lot of the snow has already frozen into ice, and now it’s even more slippery due to the addition of water droplets. Xiongba can paddle very far while walking.

Lin Heng's main purpose is to check his traps. These traps will be dismantled after he comes back from moving things once. There is no rush now, maybe there will be something harvested in the last two days.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of branches breaking. He turned around and saw a beautiful red squirrel running towards the distance with a chestnut in his arms.

"never mind."

He shook his head and was about to leave, not wanting to take action against this little guy again.

Leading Xiongba along the way, constantly checking traps, the forest is now extremely quiet, the autumn leaves have begun to rot, and it is difficult to see the extra color.

Although the sun came out, it was still very turbid, like a dim tungsten light bulb stained with oil at home. The sky was gray, with no blue sky or white clouds.

The occasional touch of green is one of the few vitalities in this winter.

"Damn, it's too cold."

Lin Heng wrapped himself in clothes. It was too cold to melt the snow, so even if he was wrapped in animal skins, it would not be of much use.

"Brother, did you get anything there?"

After walking some distance, Lin Yue asked aloud.

"No, it's hard to find grouse when the snow melts." Lin Heng shook his head.

"Then it looks like today is going to be fruitless." Lin Yue sighed, and he had gained nothing.

Soon the two of them walked out of the forest and headed towards the barren mountains in the north. Lin Heng went to see the traps, while his elder brother went to look for prey together.

The wind here is stronger, and the blowing sound makes people's faces hurt and their eyes water. The more you go up the mountain, the worse it becomes.

The cold wind from the northwest is too ruthless, and exercise doesn’t warm me up at all.

Lin Heng suddenly stopped while walking. He looked at the bottom of the cliff in the distance and was stunned for a moment. He stared at it and then shouted back: "Brother, come here quickly, it's a big harvest."

"What?"

Lin Yue was stunned and ran over quickly.

"The trap I set near the salt mine finally worked. Look, it's such a big sika deer!"

Lin Heng pointed to the cliff in the distance. There was a sika deer struggling in the bushes over there, but it was still unable to break free. It was obviously caught in his trap.

"Damn, it's such a big sika deer. Brother, the trap you set this time is so profitable!!"

Lin Yue's eyes were as wide as bells, and he couldn't imagine that Lin Heng's trap would work again at this time.

Lin Heng was not surprised, just excited: "I said there should be prey. How could there be no prey near this natural salt mine? Sure enough, I met it. Huang Tian paid off his hard work."

Wild animals need salt just like people. Without salt, they will die and cannot survive. Lin Heng was very excited when he found these three places naturally containing salt. He felt that the traps set up here were definitely the safest.

It just backfired. The traps in other places were all set for prey, but these three places that were most likely to have high hopes were not. This should not be done at all.

Now it seems that this situation makes everything clear. Sika deer, this thing can easily weigh up to 100 kilograms, and the big one can weigh 300 kilograms, which is much larger than a roe deer and a muntjac.

The most important thing is that it is not only big, but also valuable.

"Brother, do you think we should capture it alive?" Lin Yue asked a question.

This is also the question that Lin Heng was thinking about in his heart. The sika deer is not dead and can be captured alive, but should we do so?

"Kill it!"

Lin Heng made up his mind after a little thought. He explained, "This thing looks like it should be one or two hundred kilograms. It is too difficult to control it if it is captured alive. It is better to kill it."

Although the sika deer can be raised to cut the antlers, this place is too far from his home. There are nearly 30 kilometers of mountain roads to Xiaozhuo Township alone. This thing is impossible to walk obediently. Maybe it will run away accidentally.

So it is easiest to kill it and cut it into meat. The most important thing is that the antlers are not as valuable and scarce as musk, and there are many people who raise sika deer.

Of course, if it is near his home, he will definitely choose to capture it alive.

"You are right, then kill it." Lin Yue nodded in agreement.

He loaded the bullets, and then the two of them took the dog and walked directly there.

"Yo Yo!!"

"Yo Yo!!"

The sika deer struggled madly when it saw the two men and the dog coming over, but Lin Heng used steel wire and the large trap on its feet made it impossible for it to break free.

"Don't even think about running away."

Lin Heng rushed up and restrained its two horns. This guy had already lost too much blood, and he was strong because of his long-term exercise. He didn't give it a chance to struggle at all. He took advantage of the situation and hugged its neck and pressed it to the ground.

Lin Yue also rode on this guy's body from behind, and the two big men completely controlled it.

Lin Yue sat on the sika deer and restrained its legs and laughed: "This guy is so fierce even though he is injured like this, he is worthy of being a sika deer."

"That's us, tie it up first." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay, you control it well." Lin Yue nodded, took out a rope from his backpack and tied the deer's legs, and tied it up completely in a short while.

"Yo Yo!!"

At this time, the two men let go of their hands and the sika deer was completely unable to escape, and couldn't even stand up.

"It must be two hundred kilograms. Lend me the hunting book later. I must learn it." Lin Yue sighed as he looked at the sika deer on the ground.

"No problem."

Lin Heng agreed with a smile while digging a hole in the ground with a hatchet.

They had rainproof film paper with them. After digging the hole, they could lay it in the hole to collect the deer blood. Deer blood should be kept as much as possible. Good things should not be wasted.

"Ah, woo~"

Xiongba licked the blood at the feet of the sika deer, looking very excited.

"Okay."

In ten minutes, they dug a big hole and folded the film paper in half and laid it in.
