Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"Third uncle, use my gun, yours is not easy to use."

Lin Heng handed his double-barreled shotgun to his third uncle, with five deer pellet bullets attached.

"You can use it, my shotgun is enough." Lu Honggang declined.

"Take it, Third Uncle, I have a compound bow." Lin Heng handed the shotgun to Third Uncle, then took out the bow bag and took out the compound bow and arrows.

"Okay, let's set off." Lu Honggang smiled honestly and walked ahead with the dog.

The two of them approached quickly and soon came to the back of the stone more than 200 meters away from the wild boar. Lin Yue and Lu Honghai also reached a suitable position on the hillside in the distance.

The four of them confirmed each other's positions, and then continued to move forward and get closer. The soft snow made the footsteps disappear, making it easier to get closer. After a while, Lin Heng was close to a distance of more than 60 meters.

He placed the extra bow and arrows on a nearby branch, took out a nocked bow and took aim.

The wild boars on the opposite side had already spotted them, but they did not run away immediately and were still checking the situation, because fifty or sixty meters was still a safe distance in their minds.

Whoosh! !

The next moment, Lin Heng drew his bow and shot out with an arrow. The big wild boar that was looking up in the distance was shot from the left side of its neck by his arrow, pierced through its belly from behind and stuck on the ground.

"Ouch!!"

The wild boar shot by Lin Heng escaped and fell to the ground within a few dozen meters.

"Hmmhhhhhhh!!"

"Ouch!!"

Seeing their companions fall to the ground, these wild boars became completely panicked and fled in all directions.

Bang! !

Bang! !

A few of them had just taken a few steps up the mountain when two gunshots were heard, and two more wild boars rolled down the hillside.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Honggang also rushed forward and shot the wild boar that was running in this direction. However, the wild boar did not fall to the ground, and only blood splattered on its legs.

“Let the dogs out!!”

Lin Heng was the first to release the bully. He originally wanted to shoot a second arrow, but the wild boar moved too fast and had no chance.

Xiong Ba and Xi Quan Fengshou directly chased the little wild boar that Lu Hong had just injured. After a while, they caught up with it and gave it a bite on the butt, causing its bleeding to become even more serious.

The two dogs cooperated tacitly. When the wild boar chased one of them, the other one would bite hard on the butt. Within a few rounds, the wild boar was pinned down by the two dogs and quickly bitten to death.

"The harvest is great this time, at least four wild boars have been killed!" Lu Honggang laughed.

"I don't know if Big Brother and Uncle can catch up with the other two." Lin Heng glanced at the direction that Big Brother and the others were following. There were only a few lines of footprints in the snow, and fine snow was floating in the sky.

The ability to kill four wild boars this time was also due to the double-barreled shotgun. This weapon is good. The two bullets fired at once can kill a large area. It would be difficult to kill the running wild boars with a musket.

After saying that, he took his bow and arrow and walked towards Xiongba Fengsheng. The wild boar had fallen to the ground, but was still struggling.

"You two get out of the way, I'm coming!"

Lin Heng shouted, set up his bow and arrow, and when the two dogs retreated, he shot out an arrow and pierced the wild boar's spine, making it unable to get up again.

Then he walked over with a dagger and pressed the wild boar's head, stabbing it into the aorta to better release the blood.

The two dogs were eager to drink blood. Lin Heng walked behind again. His third uncle had already pulled the other three wild boars together. He stepped forward to bleed them all.

"Wait a minute, I brought a big bag, don't waste it." Lu Honggang took out a large plastic bag that could collect blood from his backpack.

"good."

Lin Heng asked him to connect it and cut the wild boar's main artery. There was just too much blood, so he only took the blood of one little wild boar, and let the blood of the remaining two go out and let the two dogs lick it.

There's nothing you can do about it. The meat will be even more unpalatable if you don't bleed it. If you hit it, you have to bleed it immediately.

After draining the blood, the two took a good look at the four wild boars here. One of the big wild boars was a female. It was initially estimated to weigh about 150 kilograms. It was not very big, and it was probably not an old wild boar.

There are three little wild boars, not big in size, weighing about fifty pounds. At first glance, they are little wild boars born this year.

"This kind of wild boar is the most delicious, no matter how you eat it." Lin Heng said with a smile. Now his favorite wild boar hunter is this kind of suckling pig.

"It's a good deal to come to Sanchagou this time. Even if it's just these gains, it's worth it." Lu Honggang sat down and smoked a cigarette and said with a smile.

Lin Heng looked at the wild boar, then got up and went to look for kudzu in the nearby woods, preparing to tie up the wild boar and carry it back.

They waited for about thirty or forty minutes before they saw their elder brother and uncle coming back with the dog.

"Didn't you catch him?" Lu Honggang asked.

Lin Yue shook his head: "He ran too fast. I don't know how far I have to chase him, so forget it."

"The main reason is that I have already beaten four of them, and I am too lazy to chase the remaining two because I can't catch them." Lu Honghai said with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, let's carry the wild boar back quickly. It's already half past two in the afternoon, and it's not far from dark."

In this kind of weather, if we can't return to the shelter in time, we may freeze to death. They now have no feeling in their hands and feet.

Everyone else also nodded, it was time to go back early. After looking at the wild boars, the four of them made up their minds. Lin Heng and his eldest brother carried the heaviest wild boar, while his uncle carried the remaining heaviest one, and his third uncle carried the remaining two. Everyone was exchanging words with each other on the way.

After cleaning up, everyone ate a steamed bun to refresh their stomachs and then set off. There were still two mountains to walk back, which was very difficult.

It was already after five o'clock when we returned to the shelter, and the sky was already very dark.

They didn't have time to kill the pigs, so they went to get the most important hay first, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sleep warmly again tonight.

It was hard to find hay on a snowy day, so I went to the swamp and cut a lot of thatch. Then I dug moss and cut evergreen shrubs to block all the air leaks around the shelter.

As for the clay stove that I originally wanted to build, I didn't build it either. The house was still filled with smoke and dust, which was eye-catching.

I set up the pot, put down the noodles, added sauerkraut and hot sauce, and each of the four of us ate two large bowls before feeling comfortable.

Then he gave the four dogs a pot of noodles for them to eat.

After eating, the four of them looked at the wild boar that had not yet been killed and began to worry.

Lin Heng looked at the crowd and said, "Do you really want to kill me here? I don't have any tools. I only need one day of singeing or perming, right?"

"No one expected to kill four wild boars as soon as they arrived." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Lu Honghai thought for a moment and said, "It's really unrealistic for us to kill four wild boars ourselves. Let's kill the biggest one, and let your third uncle carry one back tomorrow for the remaining three, and then call your dad to come over for two." It will be much easier for me to carry the remaining two ends back and kill them."

"I'll go back and let my third uncle hunt here." Lin Heng said quickly. It was hard for him to explain his uncle's behavior of calling his third uncle around at will.

"It's okay, it'll be the same if I go." Lu Honggang shook his head and said. He wanted to hunt, but it was even more inappropriate for Lin Heng to go back.

Lin Heng smiled and said: "I miss my wife, so just let me go. Third uncle, take my gun and go hunting."

When he said this, the third uncle couldn't stop him. He had to let him go back to see his wife.

"Then come, let's kill this big wild boar first, eat some on the mountain, and take the rest back." Lu Honghai looked at the three of them and said.

After discussing it, they directly hung up the largest female wild boar and directly disemboweled it. After taking out the internal organs, the two of them went out to the creek to clean and process it.

Then Lin Heng chopped off the wild boar's head and cut the body into strips. While he was cutting it, his uncle carried the meat to the fire and burned it.

It is not practical to scald pig hair with water on a wild slope. Cutting and burning is the best way to remove pig hair.

It was already 12 o'clock in the evening by the time the four people had basically finished handling the wild boar. Although they were already very sleepy, they still roasted some to taste it.

"It's okay, it's not particularly fishy." Lin Heng took a bite of the barbecue and nodded. It may be because of the sow. The smell is much less fishy than expected. It can still be eaten if it is treated properly.

"It's pretty good, it seems like it's not an old wild boar." Lu Honggang also said.

After finishing the roasted meat, everyone lay down to rest. After running all day, they almost fell asleep. There was no such thing as insomnia.

Early the next morning, they fried a wild boar tenderloin with spicy sauce, which is also called sauced meat, and made a pot of rice, which was very satisfying.

"I hope the sun doesn't come out, otherwise it will be cold!" Lin Heng looked at the sky and said, there is no snow today, which is a good thing, but if the sun comes out, it will be bad, it will be cold to death.

"It won't happen. I guess it will snow again." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"I think so too." Lu Honghai nodded.

After breakfast, the meat they cooked for the dogs was ready. All four dogs were rewarded and were six times full after eating the meat.

Then Lin Heng carried a small wild boar in a backpack and walked back, and Xiong Ba followed him.

The little wild boar was heavier. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned home. When he walked to the village, some people were shocked when they saw him beating the wild boar and said, "Hey, Lin Heng, you are so powerful. You have beaten another wild boar."

"Fortunately, it's just a little wild boar I met in Sanchagou." Lin Heng said with a smile.

After saying a few words to the person who asked, he quickly returned home and opened the door. Xiulan was doing needlework at home, and the children were playing. They all showed surprised expressions when they saw him.

After comforting the child, Lin Heng took the wild boar into the house. Xiulan smiled and said, "I have hunted several prey in just one day. It is really impressive. How many wild boars were hunted in total?"

When she saw Lin Heng coming back with a wild boar on his back, she understood that he wouldn't have come back if there was only one.

"We found a group of wild boars, and we shot one, three and four in total." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Si Tou, you guys have gone to restock."

Xiulan's mouth opened slightly, she was still shocked even though she expected it.

"Dad, are you the pig that was raised by someone else?" Xiaoxia asked holding his leg. She could understand most of the words now and was very smart.

"Of course not, it's just that dad is great." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"We have meat to eat again today, daddy is awesome!" Xiaoxia said happily, raising her little hands.

"Rourou!"

"Dad is awesome!"

Deer Ming Du Heng also cheered, and then ran to see the wild boar again.

Lin Heng drank the warm water from Xiulan's cup and warmed his hands and feet before putting the wild boar outside the house. Then he went to Hongfeng Mountain and called his father to help kill the pig.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws when they learned that they had shot four wild boars in just three days. It was indeed good luck to discover a herd of wild boars.

"This kind of little wild boar is the best. Not only the meat is delicious, but the pig's head and offal are best when marinated."

Father Lin said while helping to scald the pig in the yard.

Lin Heng thought so too. In his opinion, the wild boar's internal organs were just fine, and it tasted very good after being marinated.

They didn't move the wild boar after it was taken care of, because it was common property that would be divided later, so they hung it in a room without a fireplace for now.

In the evening, we simply cooked two dishes and drank a little wine, and then went to bed early.

The next morning, after breakfast, the father and son set out. They arrived at the Sanchagou camp at noon along the path without any load.

It didn't snow or shine today, and the snow on the ground became a little harder, but there were not many other changes.

"No one is here, they are not in the house." Father Lin said as he walked into the camp.

"Ugh!!" Lin Heng first shouted, and then said, "They should be tracking prey again. Let's take the things away and leave a message."

"That's the only way." Father Lin nodded.

Lin Heng first shouted several times, and just as he was about to write, he saw his third uncle Lu Honggang coming back: "You came so quickly, I went to collect the fish hooks and traps for you, the effect is very good, three pheasants, five turtledoves, and six birds."

Lu Honggang said as he put the things on the ground.

"Oh, this is awesome!" Father Lin was surprised. He knew about the fish hooks and traps, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

"It works best on snowy days." Lin Heng said with a smile. He used to catch birds with baskets when he was a kid.

After chatting for a few words, they packed the wild boar and headed back, otherwise they might not be able to get back before dark. He also took the pheasant and turtledove back, as pork was enough here.

Back in the house, Xiulan had already prepared the water for scalding the pig. She scalded the pig and the pheasant and turtledove together, plucked their feathers, and cut open their intestines.

The internal organs were left for his father to deal with the next day. He went to bed early because he had to go up the mountain early the next morning.

The next morning, he took the sesame oil buns made by Xiulan and took the dog up the mountain early. This time it was easy, and he chose to explore the forest to see if there were any traces of prey.

It was easy to find traces when it snowed, and there might be prey in the forest here.

He explored and searched all the way, and when it was almost dark in Sanchagou, he had nothing to gain except a pheasant in his hand.

He was not discouraged, because this was the norm. It was just that the prey didn't increase after the snow. Even if the footprints were easy to find, there were still very few prey compared to the vast mountains. It was normal not to encounter them.

Seeing the shelter in sight, he walked over quickly. Just as he got closer, he widened his eyes in shock: "No way, how did you get another muntjac?"

In the small house, the uncle and the other three were peeling a hanging yellow muntjac, which looked at least 30 kilograms.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "We didn't find anything yesterday, but we were lucky today and found it. We injured three dogs and caught it."

"Then you are really lucky." Lin Heng sighed. It's not easy to hunt muntjacs even if it snows. It seems that you are really lucky this time.

"If the snow doesn't melt tomorrow, I think we still have a chance." Lu Honghai said.

"Going in the direction of Taibai Mountain, there are still more prey." Lin Yue also said. (End of this chapter)
