Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 288 Hunting is fun, but it's troublesome after the hunt

Looking at the wolf wandering around the garbage dump, Li Long hesitated.

Hunt wolves or wild boars?
He felt that if it was properly processed, wild boar meat would taste better than wolf meat. After all, wild boars were omnivores, while wolves were basically carnivores. Generally speaking, the meat of herbivores tasted better than the meat of carnivores.

However, Li Long hesitated for only half a minute, and the wolves didn't give him much chance. The three wolves wandered around there for a few times, and then hid in the bushes.

There were a lot of tall grass nearby, and this didn't seem to be anyone's pasture, so no one was cutting grass. So the wolf went in and lay down. Plus, it was dark now, so it was difficult for Li Long to find the wolf.

Then just keep waiting.

Li Long thought about it and realized that this wolf was planning to hunt wild boars here.

Otherwise, how could he hide?
If the wolf wanted to run away, it would not be able to just hide in the grass and disappear. It would only run away along the ridge or valley.

Then there is only one possibility.

Li Long suddenly became a little excited. Part of it was because he might have guessed the truth, and the other part was because he might be able to be the oriole again later - whether it was fighting a wolf or a wild boar, he could handle it calmly later.

Next, it’s a test of patience and the ability to seize opportunities.

The sky gradually brightened. It wasn't the kind of bright that made your vision suddenly wider, but you gradually felt that the range of your vision became a little wider.

The outlines of the grass, trees, the bulldozed area, and the garbage became clearer.

Dew was forming and Li Long felt a little cold as he lay there. It was late autumn and he had been a little careless and had not worn enough clothes.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a humming sound coming from the distant valley.

The wild boar is coming!

This group of wild boars looked like they were running wildly from the moment they showed their heads. They rushed around in a flash and the grass was flattened by them. There were a few wild boars that were not in the group. They went directly through the grass on both sides, leaving strips of "grass gaps".

The first one to run over was a half-grown wild boar. It looked a little smaller than the wild boars that Li Long raised in Laomahao, but more sturdy and with a longer body, weighing about thirty to fifty kilograms.

After these little wild boars rushed over, they immediately started to dig around in the garbage dump. If one of them found food first, it would immediately run to the side with it in its mouth, and other little wild boars would come over to snatch it.

Running in the middle were several large male wild boars that were two or three years old, as well as female wild boars. They were also very fast, but their purpose was very clear. After arriving at the arched place, they began to divide the area and look for things separately, without running around.

Further behind were a few large sow wild boars, with big and fat bodies, the ground shaking when they ran. They joined the ranks of digging the ground, and those with medium body sizes had to give way, otherwise they would be pushed away by their mouths.

Finally, it was the wild boar leader with its fangs bared. It did not immediately join the ranks of those digging for food in the ground. Instead, it walked slowly to a place about ten meters away from the garbage dump, raised its head and sniffed around, then looked at the bushes on both sides with some confusion.

After not finding any problems for a while, he started to walk into the garbage dump and dig slowly.

Wherever it went, all the wild boars avoided it except the wild boar cubs. One wild boar cub ran over to snatch food from it, but it was pushed away by its mouth. It let out a scream and ran away in shame.

It seems like there is blood.

Li Long flexed his fingers. He knew that a fierce battle might begin soon and he must seize the opportunity.

However, after waiting for a long time, the wolves did not show up. Li Long even suspected that the wolves ran away because they saw that the wild boar was too powerful.

Or are you competing with the wild boar in patience?

However, he could notice that the wild boar would raise its head to look after arching a few times, then arch a few more times and look again, never letting its guard down.

Li Long felt that he could indeed wait a little longer.

The wild boars, big and small, rummaged around for a while, eating grass roots and garbage. Perhaps they had used up some energy from running over earlier, so their movements slowed down. A few half-grown sows simply lay down on one side, rolling around and rubbing their bodies to relieve the itch.

Two little wild boars ran far away and came to the stream. After drinking a few sips of water, they began to play in the stream, splashing a lot of water.

Then a few half-grown wild boars also ran over there, and the herd of wild boars split up.

Li Long felt a little regretful. He should have opened fire when the density was high just now, so that he could at least hit both ends. Now that they were separated, the targets were dispersed and it was difficult to hit.

At this moment, the big wild boar seemed to have finished eating and turned around to run towards the stream. Three black shadows suddenly jumped out of the grass. Their target was very clear, the little wild boar in the stream!
As soon as the wolf appeared, the wild boars fled in panic. However, what surprised Li Long was that after a few wild boars ran out a few times, when they saw that it was a wolf, the big wild boar rushed towards the wolf, and the other wild boars followed!

It turns out to be a showdown!

The wolves were very cunning. They ran in scattered positions and were very agile. The first wolf directly bit the neck of a little wild boar and shook it several times. Blood spurted out immediately. The little wild boar's screams echoed in the valley!
A wolf was being chased by a big wild boar and ran away. Another wolf came to help the wolf that was biting the little wild boar. The mother wild boar was eager to save her child, so she lowered her head and came over.

There were so many wild boars that the wolf that was biting the little wild boar was reluctant to let go, so it was knocked down by the mother wild boar. However, it immediately turned over, went around to the other side, and continued to bite the injured little wild boar.

The other wolf bit the female wild boar's tail to distract her attention. As soon as the female wild boar turned around, the wolf jumped away. When it was about to attack again, several male wild boars behind it rushed over and knocked it down several times!

It turns out that the wild boars that were chasing the other wolf are back!
The wolf rolled over several times before it could barely stop itself, and crawled twice before getting up. Then, the wild boar leader pushed it more than half a meter off the ground and it fell down again. A group of wild boars took advantage of the situation and beat the wolf, pushing and stepping on it as they passed by.

Li Long watched the scene with great interest. Then he saw the wolf that had run away come back again, but it only dared to harass the wild boars in the marginal areas and did not dare to join the resistance at all.

Li Long felt that the time was almost up, so he aimed at a half-grown wild boar and fired several shots at it.

Suddenly there was a gunshot. The wild boar leader was originally going to push the half-crippled wolf, but after hearing the sound, he rushed away without stopping!

Like a gust of wind, he disappeared in a moment!
Behind it, there were seven or eight wild boars, all of which were half-grown, including a female wild boar.

The inexperienced little wild boars began to run around in the grass, fan-shaped, and disappeared without a trace.

Li Long never stopped shooting. He not only shot the wild boar, but also killed the half-crippled wolf on the spot.

The sky was already bright. Li Long, who had emptied his magazine, calmly took out a magazine filled with bullets, stuck it in the hole of the empty magazine, and slowly pushed ten bullets into it.

Pulling the bolt to load the bullet, Li Long climbed up with the gun in hand and walked downstairs.

Two wild boars, one big and one small, and a wolf were our harvest this morning.

well.

There was plenty of time, and with his bicycle, Li Long had enough time to get these things back.

The little wild boar was still moving. It was bitten on the neck by the wolf. Li Long didn't need to shoot it again. The little wild boar was still bleeding, but it was definitely dead.

The half-grown wild boar was dead, with three or four bullets in its body. The wolf was also dead.

In fact, Li Long fired his last two bullets at the fleeing wild boar, but it was a pity that no prey was left.

Of course, he is very satisfied now.

It was inconvenient to open the body and wash it here. Li Long saw that there was no problem, so he returned with the gun on his back, rode the bicycle over, and started to tie it to the bike.

The big wild boar and the wolf were tied together and stacked on the back seat. The clips on the back seat were pulled back as far as possible, almost flat, and then the wild boar and the wolf were carried on.

The wild boar and wolf weighed nearly 100 kilograms in total, and Li Long almost couldn't catch them.

After putting the two down, Li Long picked up the little wild boar, barely put it on top, and then quickly tied it up with a rope.

The bicycle was almost tilted backwards, so Li Long had to press hard on the front handlebars and push it forward.

Although it is not easy to strike a balance, the mood is wonderful.

These three big ones should be enough for the young guys to eat, right?
He even thought that he could just eat the half-grown wild boar weighing 60 kilograms, and share the remaining small wild boars and wolf meat among his relatives.

Of course, in fact, finding young men to eat meat and work together is not only about finding people to dig beets, but also about gathering people's hearts.

After all, your family is rich. Even if they don't say it openly, there must be someone suffering from conjunctivitis in private.

But if you take out a wild boar and share it with the young men, they may be soft-hearted and say good things about you, but most of them will not say bad things about you after eating your meat.

It's not demanding, that's all.

At least the Li family will not be seen as a group of people who are "rich but unkind".

There are actually people like that in the team. Once they become rich and find work outside to make a fortune, they try desperately to get away from this place and don't interact much with their friends and neighbors in the team.

But it is not easy to integrate into the new environment. Later, I would come back to the village and say some words about how difficult it is to make a living outside, but no one would feel the same way, nor would they be envious or jealous, and they would not even be as enthusiastic as before.

After all, you were the first to "leave the organization".

After pushing the bicycle to the spring in front of the wooden house, Li Long unloaded his things and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was at least half an hour before the sun rose.

I guess I'll have to spend the whole morning here.

This is just like solving a crime in a movie or TV show. What is presented to the audience is the exciting battle of wits and courage between the police and the criminals. In the eyes of the audience, everything is over once the criminal is caught.

But for investigators, catching the criminal is just the beginning. Collecting evidence, interrogating confessions, writing reports... these are the troublesome things.

The same goes for hunting.

Knocking down the prey with one shot is naturally the most beautiful, exciting and thrilling thing.

But in reality, after hunting, the prey cannot automatically become food. The subsequent processing is the highlight.

Li Long soaked the little wild boar and the big wild boar in water and went to skin the wolf first.

Poor wolf.

It was unknown how many bones were broken. The body was limp and blood was still foaming from the mouth. It seemed that the internal organs were also damaged. Li Long didn't know how much edible food was left inside.

Three wolves hunted a dozen wild boars, and then were killed in return. This can be considered a legendary story in the forest. If it were adapted into a movie, it could at least be told in two parts.

Li Long tried hard to peel off the wolf skin. He saw a lot of blood on the skin. He had to scrape it clean, otherwise the residual value of the skin would decrease.

Three ribs were broken and protruded from the flesh. The wolf must have been in great pain before dying.

After skinning the wolf, Li Long opened it up. Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen - the wolf's stomach and intestines were not broken, and there was no feces inside. Although there was a lot of blood, it was cleaned up after flushing with spring water.

Li Long turned out the internal organs and put them in a large basin, then began to cut the meat.

The wolf has a lot of lean meat, not too fat, but still a little bit greasy. Li Long cut open the legs, ribs, and other parts, and also removed the parts between the calves and thighs, mainly to get the wolf thigh stones out - wolf teeth and wolf thigh stones are both good things and must be kept. It will be difficult to find them later.

People in the village are not able to accept it now, and by the time they can accept it, it will be gone.

Later, take out these little things and give them as gifts when the child is one month old. They will definitely be popular.

As for the claws and hooves, Li Long didn't plan to do it himself as it was too troublesome.

After preparing the wolf meat, Li Long took a rest. The sun had risen, so he returned to the wooden house, set up two stoves, and boiled water in the pots. He drank some of the leftover boiled water from yesterday and baked a leftover bun to eat.

At this time, Li Long regretted not bringing Tao Daqiang with him. Two people are always better than one.

It's just that I'm used to hunting alone, so I didn't think about it when I came. Besides, Tao Daqiang can earn a day's money by fishing with his elder brother, but hunting only brings meat. It's different.

After eating the buns and resting for a while, Li Long went to skin the wild boar.

Just then, he heard the sound of a deer in the house.

Forgot about this little guy.

Li Long smiled and turned back, unlocked the hut, let the deer out, led it to the spring by a rope and let it drink water, then went to the west side of the cabin and found a patch of good grass to hide.

After skinning and gutting the wild boar, Li Long felt that he had no energy left.

After the wild boar was gutted and deflated, they decided not to do anything else. The fawn was here, and they couldn't leave completely for a while anyway, so they took the meat back first, and the wild boar would be taken care of later.

Li Long put the little wild boar into a large basin, soaked the stomachs and intestines of the big wild boar and the wolf, put the other internal organs and meat into a sack, wet it with water and sprinkled salt on it, and also led the deer back to the cabin. He locked the door and rode towards the county.

As the wind blew past, Li Long felt extremely refreshed!
