Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Because there were roe deer next to the wooden house, Li Long did not go far away in the morning. As he was not sure when the wild roe deer could be sent away, he needed to prepare some fodder for this guy first.

Near the wooden house is Yushanjiang's grassland. However, after the wooden house was built, Yushanjiang never cut grass nearby. Perhaps he tacitly assigned this grassland to Li Long, and Li Long was in charge of everything here.

Therefore, the grass grew very tall in flat areas, and because the grass was not cut, Li Long could easily find a piece of grass nearby that was not pressed down by the snow.

This patch of pasture was a tangle of purple alfalfa and some goose down vines, and was very dense. Li Long took down the sickle hanging on the wall of the small room, went there, shook off the remaining snow on the grass, and began to cut it.

After the visible hay was cut into a bale, the rest was buried under the snow.

The snow had been falling for a while, and a hard crust had formed on it. Although it was not durable enough for humans, ordinary small animals could walk on it easily - this was also the reason why the red fox escaped safely.

This layer of snow shell was a bit troublesome for Li Long, as he needed to break it up before he could continue to cut the fodder underneath. Li Long felt that although it was a bit troublesome, he still had to do it. He used the handle of the sickle to break up the snow shell, cleared away the broken snow, and continued to cut the grass.

After cutting two bundles of grass, Li Long originally planned to leave it at that, as these two bundles of grass should be enough for one or two days. However, seeing that there were bulges in the snow crust in front, he guessed that the grass below should grow better, so he thought about cutting a little more, calling it a day, and going back to cook.

When breaking the snow shell, Li Long felt that he had hit something hard, and the sickle even felt the force of recoil.

He was a little disappointed. It turned out that it was not the tall grass that was pressed down by the snow, but there was something underneath.

At that moment, Li Long thought about not cutting it anymore, as he had been fooled.

But curiosity drove him to use a sickle to push the snow away a few times, revealing what was underneath.

A corner.

antlers.

Li Long was a little surprised. How could this thing end up here?
He spent quite a lot of time in the cabin during spring and summer, and his activity area was quite large. How come he didn't see any deer antlers here?

He quickly pulled out the antler, which had two branches on one large branch. It weighed more than four kilograms, which was considered light among the antlers he had obtained before.

But it was a pleasant surprise after all, and Li Long was extremely happy - this was a new role this year, and it was obvious.

He looked at the horn carefully, then put it next to the bundle of grass and started looking nearby.

Half an hour later, Li Long broke all the snow shells within a radius of 20 meters and found the second antler - it was next to a stone.

Li Long guessed that the deer must have used the stone to knock off the horns on its head. The two horns fell lower than the grass, so he didn't notice them.

But after it snowed, the originally tall grass was pressed down by the snow, and the hard antlers, which were not very tall to begin with, pushed out of the snow and were mistaken by Li Long as tall grass.

What a dramatic coincidence.

Li Long happily placed the two deer antlers on the bundle of straw and took them back.

When he arrived in front of the wooden house, Li Long put down the bundle of grass, picked up the pair of antlers and put them aside, and threw the whole bundle of grass to the wild roe deer as a reward for it - without it, Li Long might not have been able to find the pair of antlers.

He turned back and brought back the other bundle of grass and placed it next to the wooden house as food for the roe deer tomorrow. Then Li Long happily began to prepare lunch.

There was still a lot of mutton left over from yesterday, so Li Long reheated the mutton soup. The mutton soup tasted good, but to be honest, Li Long didn't dare drink too much, as it was too likely to cause high blood lipids. In the last few years of his previous life, Li Long had a love-hate relationship with this thing. He wanted to drink it very much, but every time he drank mutton soup, his brain became groggy and uncomfortable.

Although young people nowadays have excessive bodies and can eat whatever they want, it is still better to drink less for the sake of the future.

There was some overcooked mutton in the mutton soup that had fallen off the bones. Li Long took another piece of naan, and after the mutton soup boiled, he skimmed off the layer of oil on it and scooped a bowl of broth. Li Long broke the naan open, soaked it in the soup, and started eating.

The outside of the naan was soaked in the mutton soup, while the inside was still a little hard. This feeling of being soft on the outside and hard on the inside was not harmful to the stomach and was delicious. After eating a piece of naan, Li Long was still not satisfied, so he took another piece of naan, broke it open and soaked it in the mutton soup.

This time the naan is not as fragrant as the last time. In fact, it is the same, but the feeling is different. It is like the noodles in the mixed noodles. They are obviously the same pot of noodles, but they are put into the bowl and mixed with vegetables at different times. It feels like the noodles are not as fragrant as the original noodles.

After finishing a bowl of mutton soup, Li Long was full. He took the mutton soup bowl off the stove, covered the stove, put a teapot of water on it, and let it boil slowly.

After dinner, Li Long lay on the wooden kang and planned to have a good rest. At this moment, the roe deer outside suddenly called out loudly and urgently. Li Long immediately got up, picked up the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle next to the kang, opened the door and rushed out.

With just a quick glance, Li Long discovered that to the east of the wooden house, there was a man, a horse and a dog running towards this direction.

The dog was barking at the roe deer here while running. The man was wearing a leather hat and carrying a gun. The horse was not running very fast, but the target was clear, which was to go towards the wooden house.

Li Long held a gun in his hand and was not afraid, but he was a little surprised that he could meet a stranger from the mountains in the middle of winter.

What does this person do?

The man rode his horse to a place about ten meters away from Li Long and stopped. The dog was beside the horse, barking at Li Long from time to time, but did not dare to get close. The dog was big, a native dog, looked very fierce, and had long hair. It was the kind of good appearance that some people in later generations pursued for native hunting dogs.

"What do you do?" Before Li Long could open his mouth, the man spoke first. His tone was very stiff, he had a minority face, and his expression was quite fierce.

"What do you do?" Li Long didn't want to spoil him. "Why are you here?"

The man didn't expect Li Long to not answer and directly confront him. After a moment of silence, he got a little angry, threw the rifle down with his shoulder, and gestured to Li Long:

"I'm the forest ranger here. What do you do? Tell me now! If you don't, I'll kill you!"

Where did this idiot come from?
Li Long was quite angry as he watched the man pointing the gun at himself - although he could clearly see that he did not open the safety and did not load the bullet, but this kind of action of pointing a gun at someone would really make people, especially those who know the business, angry!
Li Long simply pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, aiming at the man's horse and said:
"I'm a ranger too! Put your gun down, or your horse will die!"

Li Long's action scared the man. Not only him, but his dog was also scared and barked wildly. It was obvious that it also felt Li Long's hostility!

The man seemed to be in a dilemma, but looking at Li Long's gun, he still lowered the gun, then got off the horse, stood in front of the horse, and said in a somewhat relaxed tone:

"I'm really a forest ranger! I'm responsible for watching over this grassland and woodland. You built this wooden house on someone else's grassland. This is not allowed. Do you understand?"

"Bring me the documents and notices!" Li Long is a forest ranger himself. Although he doesn't often go to work, he is still very clear about the products of this era. Whether a house can be built on this kind of grassland depends on the owner of the grassland, not the forest ranger. Besides, at that time, there was no prohibition on individuals building houses on the grassland. This house was built by Yushanjiang and his team, so there was no violation of the rules.

So Li Long is not afraid at all!
"This wooden house was built by the owner of the pasture." Li Long didn't understand why this guy came over to say this, but he thought he could explain it briefly, "If you want to stop building it, bring the documents here!"

Naturally, the man didn't have the documents, and he was just mumbling over and couldn't make any sense.

"Do you know who the owner of this grassland is?" Li Long was a little suspicious of his identity. "If you don't know, then you are a fake forest ranger! You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will be rude!"

After Li Long said this, the ranger was a little unwilling, but still said:

"This grassland originally belonged to Yushan Jiang. But it will be mine after a while. So, you can't build this wooden house. You'd better tear it down. Even if you don't, I won't let you live in it!"

And this thing?

Although Li Long was confused, he waved his hand and said:

"Words are not enough, bring me the documents! You are a forest ranger, not a herdsman, how can you have your own pasture? Just keep an eye on your forest! I tell you, since you know Yushan River, I will definitely find you! I will live in this house! If I find any problems with this wooden house later, I will find you first! I tell you, I am also a forest ranger, if something really happens, you can't escape!"

The man didn't expect Li Long to threaten him. He was a little angry after hearing this, but he didn't know how to refute. He snorted for a long time and finally said:

"Don't be so arrogant! I'm telling you, when this pasture is mine, I will make you leave obediently!"

After saying that, the man put his gun on his back, mounted his horse, and left mumbling something.

The dog barked at Li Long twice and then ran away.

Feeling a bit dejected.

Li Long watched the man leave, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He could roughly figure out that this person might be a forest ranger, or that he might have a dispute with Yushanjiang about the grassland. Now he came to check the grassland as a forest ranger, and then he saw Li Long's wooden house.

What Li Long is not sure about now is whether this grassland could really be allocated to someone else. If so, he might really be driven away.

At that time, it might be necessary to contact Li Xiangqian to handle this matter.

The most urgent thing is to go to Yushanjiang to find out whether this is true.

Li Long led the roe deer to the small room, put some grass in it, and then locked the door.

Then he used coal foam to suppress the fire in the stove, swept the ashes under the stove, cleaned the iron sheet, then put on his fur coat, put on his fur hat, and left the cabin with his gun.

After locking the door, Li Long walked towards the Yushanjiang winter nest.

At this time, he wanted to get a horse. In this cold winter, the straight-line distance was five kilometers, and the winding distance would be at least seven or eight kilometers. If he had a horse, he could save at least half the time.

Unfortunately not.

Of course, there is also the problem of storage. Especially in summer, riding a horse out of the mountains is a bit weird.

Let’s talk about it later. Let’s find Yushanjiang first and understand the situation clearly. (End of this chapter)
