Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

(Only this chapter will be posted at midnight, the rest will be posted in the morning)

When Li Long, carrying a gun, led Li Junshan and Li Junfeng to the front of the thing, they saw that it was indeed a wild boar.

This pig was quite big, it looked like it must be over 100 kilograms, bigger than the wild boar we killed at home. But it looked too thin, even though most of its body was covered by snow, it was clear that its body was long but not fat.

"Hey, Uncle Xiaolong, you are so lucky. You just came here and picked up a wild boar. This pig is not small. If you sell the meat, you can get at least a hundred dollars." Li Junfeng said with a smile.

Li Long shook his head, put his gun on his back and walked over, bent down to clean the snow off the wild boar, and then he saw the cause of death.

There was a thick wire noose around the wild boar's neck, which had been deeply cut into the flesh. The other end of the wire noose was tied to a small tree as thick as an arm - it could be seen that the small tree was directly broken by the wild boar.

"This wild boar was trapped by someone else," Li Long said. "It broke through the tree and ran here, probably trying to get something to eat, but the wire of the trap got too deep into it, so it didn't get to eat. I don't know if it starved to death or was strangled."

"No matter how he died, it's frozen and the meat is definitely edible."

"If you don't open up a wild boar after it dies, the blood will remain in the meat and it will stink." Li Long shook his head and said, "This meat... I guess it's inedible."

"How can I not eat it? I don't smell bad." Li Junfeng had no idea what a stinky rib was, so he said, "Isn't this meat frozen?"

"If you don't believe it, then take it back and have a look." Li Long also saw the information about the stinking stomach of frozen meat in the novel. If he really asked him to explain it, he couldn't make sense of it, after all, he had never experienced it.

Hearing Li Long's words, Li Junfeng immediately asked Li Junshan to lend a hand, and the two of them pulled the wild boar up the mountain.

Seeing that the two of them were having a hard time pulling the boar, Li Long asked Li Junshan to go back to the cabin, get a bag from the carriage, flip the wild boar onto the bag, and then pull the bag. It would be much easier to walk on the snow.

"Hee," Li Junfeng said as he dragged the car, "Uncle Xiaolong, this is a good method. I never thought it could be done this way..."

After the wild boar was pulled to the wooden house, Li Long asked Li Junfeng and Li Junshan to cut off the wild boar's four legs and then cut open its belly while the pork was frozen.

Although Li Junshan felt it was a pity, since Li Longrang asked him to do so, he must have his reasons, so he did it.

When the wild boar's stomach was cut open, Li Long had already lit a fire on a stove outside, put a pot on it, and boiled water.

"Pull the four legs onto the carriage first, and then put the remaining cut parts next to the stove to thaw. Once they thaw, you will know why you can't eat them." Li Long said to Li Junfeng and went into the house.

Seeing Li Long enter the house, Li Junfeng outside said to Li Junshan:

"I really don't believe that stuff is inedible. Look at the red meat. It's preserved really well after being frozen. How could it be inedible?"

The fire under the stove was mainly made from chopped wood, and it burned very vigorously, quickly melting the pork. Although the distance was fifty or sixty centimeters, the fire still singed the pig's hair, and a burnt smell wafted over.

Soon, Li Junfeng's face changed. He smelled a bad smell. The faster the meat turned into flesh, the stronger the smell became. It was a strong, stinky smell with the smell of rotten flesh and blood.

He looked at Li Junshan and said helplessly:
"It looks like it's really inedible. The meat is smelly, how can we eat it?"

"Would you like to try washing it? Didn't Uncle Xiaolong say that the meat smells bad because it hasn't been gutted and the blood is in the meat, fermented by the gas in the stomach? So why not wash the meat carefully and get rid of the blood?" Li Junshan felt it was a pity that the pork was inedible, so he offered his own idea.

"Then let's try it." Li Junfeng went to the wooden house and got out a basin. He scooped some hot water from the pot on the stove, threw a few pieces of snow into the warm water, then cut a large piece of meat, put it in, and began to scrub it.

The hands immediately became greasy after being stained with oil. Soon, the water in the basin turned black and red, with a foul smell. Li Junfeng picked up the meat and smelled it, and felt that the smell was lighter.

He handed the meat to Li Junshan and said with a smile:
"It really works. The meat doesn't stink so much anymore!"

Li Junshan took it, walked to the side, smelled it, shook his head and said:
"It still stinks. It's inedible. It looks like this method won't work."

"How can it not work?" Li Junfeng was still a little unconvinced. He poured out the water in the basin and got another basin of water to wash it. As he washed, he gave up.

He knew that he had been smelling it, and his sense of smell might have been affected, but even so, the piece of meat still smelled in his hand. It was a smell that made him want to vomit. If he added this to his meal, he would really not be able to eat it.

"What a pity!" He threw the meat into the basin, bent over to the side and grabbed a handful of snow, rubbing the oil on his hands with a look of regret, "If it were edible, we could have a good meal today, so much meat..."

"It's not necessarily a pity." Li Long came out of the house at some point and said with a smile, "We can't eat this meat, but there is something edible. As long as it's edible, then our chance has come... Come on, the two of you, help me get something."

When Li Junfeng heard that this thing was useful, he immediately became excited and followed Li Long to the small room, asking as he walked:

"Uncle Xiaolong, what's the use?"

"What else can it be used for? As bait." Li Long found a bundle of wire in the small room, took it out and brought it outside the house, and said to Li Junfeng:
"We can't eat this stuff, but wolves, foxes and the like still like to eat it. In the winter, their noses are very sharp. Tie the meat with wire, cook it half-cooked, throw it into the snow, and nail the wire into the ground. When these animals come over, we can shoot them as live targets."

"This is a great idea!" Li Junfeng immediately took the wire from Li Long and went to get the meat bait. Li Junshan also went over to help.

Li Long now just regrets that he didn't take the small-caliber gun. He only has one gun, which is a bit thin.

But it doesn't matter, just give it a try. Halimu said there are many wolves in the mountains, so let's see if these wolves will come to take the stinky pork here.

There were a lot of pork pieces, and since they could be used as bait, Li Junfeng thought he should use them sparingly. He cut five pieces of meat and dragged the rest to the side of the cabin, buried them in the snow, and stomped them down, intending to use them later.

After the five pieces of meat were cooked for a while, Li Long ran away. The smell was so bad that he decided to ask Li Junfeng to clean the pot when he really killed the wolf - although it was his idea, seeing how enthusiastic he was, he would leave it to him.

Li Junfeng didn't think it was smelly, maybe he was used to it and didn't feel it anymore. He and Li Junshan took out the meat, and then, according to Li Long's instructions, they placed it in a 100-square-meter area in front of the wooden house, and then found some stones and tied the other end of the wire to the stones. The stones were not big, the largest one was about the size of a volleyball, and the smallest one was only the size of two fists. However, Li Junfeng and Li Junshan poured melted snow water on the stones, and soon, the stones froze to the ground and ice formed on them.

Li Junfeng also poured the soup from cooking meat in the pot on the meat, making the meat itself emit a strong smell. Okay, this time he was sure that as long as there were meat-eating animals nearby, they would be able to smell the smell.

After everything was done, Li Junfeng and Li Junshan washed the pot several times together, put it away and returned to the wooden house. Li Long was loading bullets into the 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle. After loading ten bullets, he pointed the gun towards the window.

Although it was broad daylight, the windows were covered with plastic sheets and the door was closed, so the room was not very bright.

"Uncle Xiaolong, do you think there will be anything coming?" Li Junfeng was full of confidence when he was busy just now, but now that he has free time, he feels a little nervous.

If you work for half a day and nothing comes out, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?

"It will come." Li Long said confidently, "No matter whether it is big or small, something will definitely come."

"I hope it's big." said Li Junfeng.

Li Long smiled, pointed to the window and said:

"Lift up the plastic sheet, and the two of you take turns watching to see when something comes over."

"Okay, okay, I'll go first." Li Junfeng went over immediately and lifted a corner of the plastic sheet on the window. A gust of cool wind rushed in, making him shiver.

But then he grabbed his collar to block the wind and looked outside.

"Change every ten minutes." Li Long said, half lying on the wooden kang, "Don't watch for too long, your eyes can't bear it, and it's very cold."

Ten minutes later, Li Junshan took over. Li Junfeng hurriedly sat in front of the stove and said while warming himself by the fire:
"It's been a while, why hasn't anything come yet?"

"How can it be that fast!" Li Long said with a smile, "Even if you set a trap to catch rabbits, you have to wait a whole night to see any movement. The same goes for setting a sticky net. There are so many fish in the small lake that you have to wait until the next day to collect the fish after setting the net. You just put the bait in and you expect something to come out not long ago. If that's the case, then there are too many wild animals in this mountain!"

Li Junfeng smiled. He knew he was anxious, but this was the first time he did something related to hunting in the mountains. He was really excited and hoped to achieve some results.

In less than ten minutes, he replaced Li Junshan again. After two more rounds, Li Junshan suddenly shouted:
"Uncle Xiaolong, look, something seems to be coming!"

"What? What? Let me see!" Li Junfeng walked over impatiently.

"Keep your voice down!" Li Long stood up and patted him, saying, "If you scare the thing away, there will be no fun!"

"Oh oh oh!" Li Junfeng looked apologetic. After taking a closer look at the thing, he said with a little disappointment:
"It's a little small...it doesn't look like a wolf!"

"Of course it's not a wolf." Li Long pushed him aside, took a closer look, shook his head and said, "That fox is not a wolf."

"Fox? Uncle Xiaolong, you said it was a fox? The fur of that thing must be valuable, right?"

"Well, maybe twenty or thirty bucks." Li Long shook his head and said, "Let's not kill the fox yet. Let it get some food and go. We'll wait for the wolves. If we kill the fox now, the wolves won't come back."

"Is there such a saying?" Li Junfeng was a little confused. "Are wolves that smart?"

"Of course not." Li Long put down the plastic sheet and said, "Let it eat. If it's full, it can eat a piece of meat. From ancient times to the present, loud noises, lightning and thunder are phenomena that can scare animals. The wolves in this mountain have been shot for a long time. When they hear the gunshots, they dare not come over even if they smell something here."

Li Junfeng lifted the plastic sheet again and took a look at the fox that was gnawing on wild boar meat, feeling a little regretful.

But when it came to hunting, he could only obey and had no say at all.

Seeing the fox finally bit off a piece of meat and ran away with it in its mouth, Li Junfeng asked again:
"Uncle Xiaolong, do you think the wolf will come?"

"I don't know about that." Li Long waved his hand. "I think they will probably come. It's not easy for wolves to find food in such a thick snow. If there is something edible, they will definitely want to come back to eat it."

By the time the sun was higher than the western mountains, Li Junfeng was getting anxious. This was like waiting for something to happen. The more you care, the slower time will pass. So Li Junshan was staring at the window, while Li Long was half leaning on the big wooden bed and chatting with Li Junshan. Only he couldn't sit or stand, so he looked at it from time to time, afraid of missing it.

At this moment, Li Junshan suddenly spoke:

"Uncle Xiaolong, there is... that should be a wolf, right? It looks like a dog, coming over here!"

Li Long was a little surprised when he heard this. It wasn't even dark yet, and the wolf came over so brazenly?
He immediately came to the window and pushed Li Junfeng, who was eager to see, aside.

"Hey, they really are wolves!" Li Long laughed, somewhat surprised. "They came before dark. It seems these wolves are starving..."

"Let me take a look, let me take a look!" Li Junfeng was very anxious to come over and take a look.

"Okay, you take a look, and then step aside. I'm ready to shoot!" Li Long turned on the safety of the 565mm gun by the window, pulled the bolt and pushed the bullet into the chamber, and was ready.

Li Junfeng looked through the window paper and saw four wolves walking in a fan shape towards where he had placed the wild boar meat.

"These wolves are all about the same size... Hey, one of them is a little smaller, and I don't know which one is the wolf king?" Li Junfeng said, then made way.

Li Long placed his gun on the window and slowly aimed. (End of this chapter)
