Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 245 There is a hunting ground next to the hot spring!

The grass on the mountains near the periphery has begun to turn yellow, but the vegetables in the mountains are still green, all kinds of flowers are blooming, and the honey bees are working hard.

While looking for mushrooms, Li Long was thinking about a popular science article he saw on a short video platform in his previous life.

Honey is made by bees after they eat pollen, turn it into honey in their stomachs, and then spit it out.

After spitting it out, because it contains water, the honey will continue to flap its wings to fan out the water in the honey.

Doesn’t it sound disgusting?

In fact, it is similar to eating bird's nest.

In addition, if the beekeeper places the beehive in a place with abundant nectar sources, the honey made from the pollen collected by the honey collector will not have time to remove water, and the honey will become raw honey.

Because there are enough nectar-producing plants, the honey collected by the honeybees quickly fills up the hive, and there is no time to seal it. The honey will easily ferment after being cut, and it usually takes one or two years to become mature honey.

In his previous life, after Li Long handed over the land to the cooperative, the team organized these middle-aged people to travel to Yili. The honey they bought when the rape flowers bloomed in Zhaosu was like this.

Uncapped honey is collectively called raw honey.

In fact, there is honey in the local area, but as a local, I never go to the team to buy honey. Because in those years, almost all the land in the local area was planted with cotton. In order to make the cotton yield high, pesticides were applied from the beginning of leaf growth - in fact, there were many diseases and insect pests in those years.

What about red spider mites, cotton bollworms, cotton aphids, pink bollworms, etc. In those years, you could usually see fields of pesticide bottles at the edge of the cotton field.

In those years, I often heard about people fainting from poisoning while spraying pesticides in the fields.

That was the earliest era when people carried sprayers to apply pesticides.

Therefore, not many people eat the honey produced by local beekeepers - and they don’t know how much pesticides it contains.

However, Li Long knew that mountain flower honey was usually mature honey, because no matter how dense the nectar plants here were, they could never compare to the millions of acres of rapeseed flowers in Zhaosu.

He was thinking that after picking up two more sacks of black tiger paw mushrooms, would he need to buy some honey from Lu Dafeng?

I don't know what happened to that guy.

As Li Long was picking up the trash, he felt that this place looked familiar. He suddenly saw a stone - wasn't this the place where he was scratched by the lynx?

How did you get into this ditch?

Li Long subconsciously looked around vigilantly.

There are no other animals here. Some birds are singing in the woods, giving a very leisurely feeling.

Although he didn't find anything, Li Long still left here vigilantly with the sack on his back.

Although he was carrying a gun, to be honest, with the speed of that thing, it would be difficult to detect and dodge if it suddenly attacked me.

Before noon, Li Long had picked up a sack of black tiger paw mushrooms and carried it back to the cabin.

He took a relatively tender black tiger palm mushroom, cut it into slices on a wooden chopping board, and put it on a plate. He also went to a nearby place to get some wild celery. Wild celery needs to be tender, otherwise, even if it is fried with a lot of oil, it will be as hard to chew as a rope when eaten.

Fortunately, there was a large patch of them growing by the nearby stream, so Li Long simply picked the tenderest ones. He got a bunch, washed them in the stream, and brought them back.

There was cooked oil and meat in the small room. Li Long brought out the basin and placed it under the board outside. The next step was to light the fire.

Both stoves were lit, steaming rice and cooking vegetables. Li Long was cooking and humming a song, enjoying himself.

One person, a small bowl of rice and two dishes.

There is too much oil in the dish - wild vegetables eat oil, and they are not tasty without enough oil. If any housekeeper saw Li Long using so much oil to cook a dish, she would scold him to death.

But it tastes really delicious - the rice is delicious, and when you put the vegetables on the rice and mix them together, it tastes even better.

The little brat is eating his father out of money. Li Long is now nearly 1.78 meters tall and weighs more than 70 kilograms. He seems to be growing and has a big appetite.

I ate up the rice and two dishes, and after finishing them, I didn't feel like moving anymore.

The wooden house has eaves, but Li Long eats inside. Although the temperature in the mountains is lower than that in the plains, the ultraviolet rays are stronger.

Li Long washed the pot before eating because he knew he would not want to move after eating.

I threw the bowls and plates onto the chopping board, went into the house, locked the door and took a nap.

When he woke up, Li Long found that less than an hour had passed and the food in his stomach had been digested a little - it was really good to be young. Thinking back to the last life before he died, he didn't dare to sleep after eating. After falling asleep, he either couldn't sleep at night or the food in his stomach couldn't be digested.

It seems that I don’t dare to eat a full meal because if I eat a full meal, I may not be able to digest it in a day.

Now it’s better. It’s been less than an hour since I finished eating and my stomach feels flat.

He quickly washed the dishes, looked at the sunlight, and began to cut the black tiger paw mushrooms on the chopping board.

Cut the black tiger's paw mushroom into strips and then hang them on a wooden board to dry. They will basically dry in one day.

After slicing and drying the mushrooms picked in the morning, there was no space left outside the wooden house.

Seeing the sun setting, Li Long decided not to pick mushrooms anymore. He walked into the mountains with his gun on his back.

In winter, Yushanjiang pointed him to a hot spring. He felt a little tired today, so he might as well take a bath in the hot spring.

Li Long has gotten used to the weight of five or six and a half, and it doesn't feel very heavy.

Although he was not planning to pick mushrooms, Li Long still brought a shoulder bag containing some emergency medicines, some dried meat and dry steamed buns.

No one can say what unexpected situations might occur.

Fortunately, we walked all the way to the ditch where the hot spring was, and there were no accidents, nor did we encounter any prey that could be hunted.

The hot spring ditch is not spacious. The mountains on both sides are about thirty or forty meters apart. They are covered with evergreen trees such as pine and cypress. Sunlight occasionally shines in through the gaps between the trees.

So it's quite cool in the ditch.

Li Long went to the stream in the ditch and felt the water temperature. It was cool, so he continued to walk upstream.

After walking up four or five hundred meters, the ditch became narrower and light steam began to rise from the water. Li Long bent down and touched the water again, and felt that the water was warmer.

Twenty degrees is not enough.

But there is a faint smell of sulfur.

As we continued to walk up, the trees on both sides became less dense, but the mountain was also higher, so the sunlight could no longer penetrate.

After walking up another two hundred meters, the terrain in the ditch, which had been rising all the way, became flat, the stream slowed down and became wider, and occasionally small pools could be seen gathering together.

This is a natural hot spring pool!

Li Long looked very happy. He walked to a pool and touched the water, but felt that the temperature was not high enough, so he continued walking forward.

After walking less than a dozen steps, he stopped.

There are actually large and small hoof prints by the pond in front!
Look at the hoof prints. Some have two petals, which should be from a wild boar, roe deer or the like. Some have plum blossom shapes, so I don't know if they were from a fox or a wolf.

Li Long looked at the mark and thought it should have been made in the morning. It was not particularly dry, but it was not from just now either.

These animals are amazing, they actually know how to take a hot spring bath!
Li Long even saw a hoof print with a little blood on it near the pond.

I don't know if it was injured while taking a bath, or if it encountered a natural enemy and got injured while taking a bath.

Li Long touched the pool that the animal often entered and found that although the temperature was slightly lower than that of his hand, it was already good.

He had no intention of staying here and continued to move up.

Walking to the next pool, Li Long felt the water temperature and found it was a little hot.

Just right.

The pool is not big, it can accommodate two or three people, and it is only about three to five square meters.

There were few people around, few birds singing, and little wind.

Just the wafting smell of steam and sulfur.

This pool is a bit natural, Li Long first picked up some stones and made a platform beside the pool. After the stones were piled up, he began to prepare for the hot spring.

Put the gun on the table where it is easily accessible, and then take off your clothes and fold them.

Then we entered the hot spring - it felt quite hot at first, but after getting used to it, it felt extremely comfortable.

When you soak in it, you will find that there are pebbles of different sizes at the bottom of the pool, so they won't hurt your body.

Li Long leaned against a large rock, with only his head exposed, and soaked in the water comfortably.

Half an hour later, I felt my hands were all white and wrinkled, and I came out of the hot spring pool with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

so comfortable.

My body felt itchy at first, but then I got used to it. Could this be killing bacteria?
Li Long wiped his body roughly, put on his clothes, and walked up a few hundred meters.

There are a few pools up there, but the water is starting to get hot.

He originally planned to walk to the end, but the higher he went, the harder it became to walk. The bushes on both sides of the stream above were very lush, and there was no way to go.

Had to return.

Li Long returned to the pond full of hoof prints, thought for a while, and decided that he could try again tomorrow.

Just like ambushing a wild boar, get up early in the morning, hide on the hillsides on both sides, and then shoot directly when the prey comes. How great!

As for hunting or something - it's best not to.

When hunting, it’s best to ambush!

For this purpose, Li Long even climbed up the mountainside on both sides, and then he made an unexpected discovery!

On the western hillside, there is a cliff, which must have been washed out by the previous rain. The soil and other things were washed away directly, and the four Codonopsis pilosula were almost completely exposed.

Except for one smaller one, which is only about 30 centimeters long, the other three are at least half a kilogram. Two are long, at least 80 centimeters long, one of which has branches, one is straight up and down, and the other is short and thick, with many branches. Although it is less than 40 centimeters long, it is the heaviest of the four.

What an unexpected gain!
Li Long happily dug out the four Codonopsis pilosula, found a soft branch to tie them up and carried them, then went down the mountain.

The ambush site has been found. The next step is to get up early tomorrow morning and wait for the opportunity.

No wonder he thought so well.

Wasn’t it like this the previous few times?
As long as the trace of the prey is found, the rest is a test of endurance and sense of time.

Li Long has always been good at these two things.

Next, it all depends on tomorrow.
