Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Four wild goats were soaking in the pool. One was quite big, with horns about 20 to 30 centimeters long. The other three were slightly smaller. Among the three, one should be a female goat, and the other two were lambs.

Is it a small family? Li Long guessed.

The largest goat had a black head, a gray body, and long fur. It was very ferocious and tried to jump out of the pond several times, but the two wolves were staring at it. As soon as it jumped out, the two wolves would pounce on it and bite it. The big goat had no choice but to retreat back into the pond and look for another chance.

The two smallest sheep followed the mother goat closely. Although they were being stared at by a wolf, they did not dare to run out because of the threat from their natural enemy. Instead, they huddled in the pond and cried in fear.

Li Long was no longer in a hurry. He found a good position, half squatted down, held the gun and prepared to aim, but did not plan to shoot immediately.

If you want to maximize your benefits, you have to wait until both sides are hurt.

Otherwise, if you open fire now, you might only hit one prey at most.

These wolves are not vegetarians!
The big goat in the pool was also getting anxious and kept shouting. Then, it saw an opportunity and rushed up again. This time, it rushed to the side of the wolves. One wolf rushed over and the other was blocked. The big goat successfully rushed to the edge of the pool and then charged hard at the wolf that was pouncing on it!
The wolf moved swiftly and dodged to the other side, leaving the goat without any impact. Then another wolf arrived and pounced on the goat, biting its neck!

The big goat turned its head to resist and shouted loudly, but was still bitten by the wolf on the shoulder and blood spurted out immediately!
At this time, the mother goat and her two little goats also rushed out of the pond, perhaps because they were stimulated by the big goat's cry or because they thought the opportunity was good.

It was obvious that one wolf could not stop three sheep. The wolf could only pounce on one of the lambs, while the mother goat and the other lamb quickly ran across the stream into the mountains.

As luck would have it, they were running towards Li Long.

Li Long didn't pay attention to them. He aimed his gun at the gray wolf that pounced on the lamb!

"Boom!"

Two shots knocked the wolf down, and then Li Long turned the gun and aimed at the battlefield with the other two wolves and one sheep.

The moment the gunshot rang out, the wolves and sheep stopped fighting. When Li Long looked over, one wolf had already rushed into the forest. The other wolf was slower to react and looked in the direction where Li Long was aiming the gun.

The big goat was covered in blood. It was still a little dazed when it was suddenly let go by the wolf. Li Long fired several shots in a row, "bang bang bang bang". The big goat fell down, and the wolf that was slow to react also had blood spurting out of its body!
Seeing that the wolf was about to escape with its injuries, Li Long immediately fired again. When the bullets in the gun were used up, Li Long did not rush down. Instead, he took out the magazine from his pocket, pushed all the bullets down, pulled the bolt to load the bullets, and then walked down with the gun.

When they reached the water's edge at the bottom of the valley, Li Long took a look and was delighted!

This time, the harvest is really not small!
The wolf closest to him was dead, and next to it was the lamb, crying weakly. The wolf had bitten through its neck, so it wasn't completely dead, but it was almost dead.

The wolf behind was now lying on the edge of the opposite woods, having been shot several times. Blood was slowly seeping from under its body and finally flowing into the water, spreading a red blush.

The big goat was dead, with half of its body submerged in the water, and the entire stream was dyed red with blood.

Li Long was a little worried. How could he take so many back?
Even so, there are still more than ten kilograms of mushrooms in the forest!
No matter how difficult it is, we must get it. Li Long dragged the lamb and the wolf to the waterside and placed them side by side. Then he dragged the big goat and the other wolf over.

Because I came here to soak in the hot springs and didn't think I could go hunting, I didn't bring a rope.

Li Long thought again and again and decided that he could only go to the mountain to get the sack, and then stuff a wolf with a relatively intact skin and the big goat into it.

Fortunately, they were all dead, so I could squeeze in even if I forced my way in. Then I put the sack on my shoulders, hung the gun around my neck, and carried the lamb weighing about ten kilograms, and walked down the mountain.

As for the other wolf, just leave it in the water for now.

Li Long estimated that by the time he returned to the cabin and came back, the wolf would have been eaten. Of course, even if that was the case, he would definitely come back to take a look.

It took an hour to get here and a full two hours to get back!
After taking several breaks, Li Long and the others were so tired that they didn't want to move anymore when they saw the wooden house.

The clothes are all stained with blood and smell really bad. If I don't wash them properly, I can't keep them anymore.

There were flies following him all the way, and Li Long knew that he had to hurry up and process the meat when he got back, otherwise it would be infested with maggots.

Although he has a good psychological quality, he still feels disgusted by creatures like maggots.

After returning to the cabin, he threw the lamb on the grass and the sack. Li Long sat down on the ground and didn't want to move at all.

He felt that his strength had been drained away completely, with nothing left.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, Li Long finally got up, stretched out his hand to drive away the flies that were surrounding him, went into the house to drink some water, and then began to prepare to deal with the three prey.

If he were asked to go back to the hot spring to get the wolf now, he would definitely not go, even if he was beaten to death.

Being careful not to step on the mushrooms, Li Long took out a large bag of coarse salt from the small room, went to the grass, and began to skin and cut up the lamb.

This is the most tender meat and should not be wasted.

After peeling off the sheepskin, Li Long went to get all the basins, then opened the body and took out the internal organs.

After skinning and trimming a lamb, Li Long stood up, waved his hand to shoo away the flies, and saw that the sun had already set behind the top of the mountain. He knew that he would probably have to work the night shift today.

He went to find firewood and lit the stove, then added water to the two large pots and boiled them. Then he sat by the stove to rest for a while, drank some water, and then continued to process the meat.

The lamb's meat was not removed, but coarse salt was rubbed all over the body so that flies would not crawl up to it. Salt was also smeared on the sheepskin and spread out on the grass to dry.

The lambskin was not hit by the bullet and is intact. The cut on the neck caused by the wolf's teeth does not affect the quality of the leather.

Next up is the big goat.

This goat is called "Sao Hu" in the local dialect. Its meat tastes stronger than that of a kid, but it is definitely better than no meat. Li Long peeled the goat's skin and looked at the wolf's tooth marks of different sizes. He knew that this skin could only be used by his family.

Similarly, pour the internal organs into the basin and deal with the meat first.

After smearing salt on the meat and placing it directly on the sheepskin, Li Long breathed a sigh of relief.

tired.

Seeing that the flies were hovering over the mutton but not landing on it, Li Long felt relieved.

He ignored the wolf and simply washed the hearts, livers, lungs and other internal organs of the two sheep that did not need to be processed, then threw them into the big pot and started cooking.

After a while, a very strange smell spread here.

Li Long originally wanted to send some to Lu Dafeng, but then he thought better of it.

The two of them were not related, and he had already given them quite a few things. It wasn't that he was stingy, but it was better not to overdo some things. After all, "a little bit of kindness is followed by a big bit of resentment", and when you give too much and it's hard for someone to repay, they will start to have wild thoughts.

Standing by the stove, occasionally skimming the blood foam on it, it can be considered a rest.

Li Long took out the half watermelon that was left over from lunch, cut off the top layer with a knife, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

After eating the watermelon, I felt a little more energetic, and then I started to deal with the wolf.

After completely separating the wolf skin and the wolf meat and cleaning out the contents of the wolf's stomach, Li Long felt that his hands could hardly swing the knife. But the stomach and intestines still needed to be cleaned out.

The sun has completely set, and Qiming, or Changgeng Star, has already lit up.

Li Long doesn't want to do this anymore.

Washing the stomach and intestines was also a tiring job, so he simply rubbed salt on the wolf's body, then carried all three pieces of meat into the big room, placed them with the skin beside the bed, then extinguished the fire on the stove, locked the door and went to sleep.

Quit it!
I slept so soundly, without any dreams.

When he woke up, it was already bright outside. Li Long could even see a little sunlight - the sun had risen.

The room smelled bad. Even though the flesh was rubbed with salt, it couldn't cover up the bloody smell.

Li Long got up and rubbed his eyes to shake off the eye boogers. He shook his head to keep his mind clear, sighed, and continued.

He didn't feel particularly uncomfortable, and his energy recovered quickly. However, thinking that there was still a lot of work to do today, Li Long felt a little depressed.

He left the house and touched the pot on the stove, which was still warm. He opened the lid and smelled a strong aroma.

Li Long was happy. He sprinkled some salt, scooped out a piece of lamb heart with chopsticks and put it on the plate. He also poured a bowl of soup, picked a handful of wild vegetable leaves and put them in, and began to eat it with slurps.

I didn’t eat last night, and I only had some dry steamed buns and soaked watermelon for lunch. I’m starving now.

After finishing the lamb heart, he still felt unsatisfied, so he cut some lamb liver and ate it, and only then did he feel full.

After eating, you have to work.

This time, Li Long took his machete and went to the nearby woods to cut three poles, two with branches and one thinner.

After carrying the three poles back, Li Long took out a shovel and dug two holes on the grass in front of the wooden house. He planted two forked logs in them, and then placed the long pole on top.

The next step is to take out the three pieces of meat from the big room and start making dried meat.

The air-dried meat is actually mainly rib meat. But Li Long didn't care and hung the legs as well - of course he would cut out some meat to eat.

He was not so meticulous this time, cutting the meat while hanging it - he had seen Halim and his friends cutting meat, and they could cut it however they wanted. If he really didn't intend to leave any meat on the bones, then the bones would be enough to make a dog angry.

Li Long doesn't have this ability, so of course when air-drying the meat, a lot of meat has to be left on the bones.

There was a table next to the pole, on which sat three muttons, and two basins next to it. One for mutton, and one for wolf meat. Soon, most of the meat was piled up in the basins, and this was the result of Li Long's casual selection.

Now is the time to be fat and strong.

The poles were soon filled with meat coated with salt, and flies swarmed over them, but in the end they had no choice but to fly away.

Li Long brought the two basins of meat into the room and covered them, then went on to clean out the stomach and intestines.

This time I was not so tired. I went straight to the spring to clean it carefully, washing my stomach and intestines thoroughly. Then I brought them back and soaked them in the basin.

The heart, liver and lungs had been taken out. Li Long let them cool for a while, then cooked the stomach and intestines, and then began to slice the cooked heart, liver and other parts.

It's noon now and the sun is shining brightly. The sliced ​​heart, liver and lungs are half dried and will not spoil easily.

Although the stomach and intestines were cleaned well enough, they still smelled like internal organs when cooked.

But Li Long didn't care. He liked to eat stomach and pig intestines.

I like to eat it whether it is braised, spicy or as a cold dish.

Looking at the weather, it was too hot. Li Long felt a little tired and he still didn't want to go to the hot spring.

Forget it, I'll cut some watermelon to cool off, and then I'll wait until my stomach is cooked.

Flies buzzed around the bloody place where he had skinned and butchered the meat yesterday, but Li Long didn't care. Although the sun was strong, there was a breeze in the valley, and it was quite pleasant to sit under the eaves and eat watermelon.

When the stomach and intestines were cooked enough, Li Long turned off the fire, waited for a while, and took them out. He had eaten the heart and liver in the morning, and now looking at the stomach and intestines, he still had an appetite.

He then prepared the bowl of condiments, picked a handful of wild onions, cut them into chopped green onions, sprinkled them in the bowl, cut a plate each of the stomach and intestines, and ate slowly with the sauce.

It tastes so good!
After eating, Li Long felt that he seemed to be eating alone, so he used a basin to fill half of the stomach, intestines, liver, heart, etc., and then divided half of the dried meat into two sacks. He moved the other half into the house, locked the door, put the two sacks on the back seat of the car, and then used an empty basin to catch the full basin, stuck it on the back seat, tied it with a rope, and rode out of the mountain.

Running fast all the way, with the wind, full of strength.

When they arrived at the compound, Gu Xiaoxia had not returned yet, so Li Long put down half of the meat and internal organs, repacked the rest, and rode towards the village again.

On the way, Li Long was also thinking, what's the point of running back and forth like this every day?
Thinking about it, he smiled again. This is sharing, this is happiness.

If I have what I want, I also hope that my family can have it. Is this considered a giving personality?
You can't say that, right?

When he was halfway through riding, a child suddenly jumped out from the roadside in front of him and waved at him. Li Long immediately braked.

This time the child was farther away and on the side of the road, so he was not dangerous. Then Li Long realized that this was the child picking wheat ears that he almost bumped into before.
"What are you doing..." Li Long asked puzzledly.

The girl picked up the things in her hand:

"Uncle, this is for you... I caught the fish, and my mother pickled it... Thank you!"

Li Long saw clearly that what she was holding in her hand was a string of three palm-sized salted dried crucian carps.

Li Long felt a little sad. This was a girl who knew how to be grateful. Was she waiting for him on purpose?
"I waited for two days before I got it...this fish is clean!" Seeing that Li Long didn't take it, the girl explained again, then took two steps forward to Li Long and stuffed the fish into his hands.

Li Long originally wanted to say that he had plenty of fish at home and didn't want any, but when he saw the girl's clear eyes, he was a little speechless.

He thought for a while and said:
"Okay, let's switch."

He got out of the car, took the three fish, put them in his bag, then took a sack from the back seat, took out two strips of dried meat and handed them to her:
"I'll take the meat in exchange for your fish. Now, go back!"

The little girl was shocked, she had never imagined that there would be such a way of exchange in the world!
"No, no, no, I can't have your meat..."

The little girl reacted and spoke loudly.

But Li Long has already ridden far away. (End of this chapter)
