Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

“Don’t you want these internal organs anymore?” Yang Chen looked at the two piles of internal organs and felt a little sorry.

"You can actually bring them, especially the roe deer's internal organs. You can prepare them after you bring them back and stir-fry them with chili peppers. They will definitely taste good."

"It's just not easy to carry. How can I carry these two piles of things without a bag?" Xie Ruifeng raised the question.

Li Long didn't say anything. He took out a plastic sheet from his bag. The plastic sheet he brought this time was not big. He originally thought that he might not be able to hit things in broad daylight, so he only brought a spare piece. But it can be used for now.

He didn't plan to take the wolf's entrails, but he wanted the entrails of roe deer, which were only two years old, not old. Moreover, although the entrails of herbivores might be infected with echinococcosis, they were really delicious to eat.

Just simmer it a little longer when making it.

Li Long put the roe deer's internal organs back into the cavity. Xie Ruifeng couldn't help laughing:

"Master Li, isn't this a waste of time? It's better not to kill him."

"How can it be the same?" Qi Jingyue saw it clearly and thought clearly, "After killing, the blood is released, the heat is taken away by the blood, and the air in the cavity is gone, so the roe deer will no longer stink. Putting things in now is just for the convenience of carrying."

She glared at Li Ruifeng, firstly because he was pouring cold water on her, and secondly because she blamed him for not using his brain and saying something stupid.

Li Long looked at the terrain down the mountain, chose a path without rocks, then spread a plastic sheet on the ground. He first carried the wolf onto the plastic sheet, and then carefully carried the roe deer up as well.

It was cold, and the wolf's body had become a little stiff after a while, which made it easier to drag it along.

After putting both things up, Li Long put on his gun, grabbed the two corners of the plastic sheet, and slowly dragged it down the mountain.

Yang Chen and Jie Ruifeng looked a little stunned. They had never thought that transporting things in the mountains could be done in this way!
Isn’t this just a simple plow?
Qi Jingyue had already caught up and was guarding the edge of the plastic sheet. After walking a few steps, he saw Yang Chen and Jie Ruifeng still staring blankly, and couldn't help but shout:
"What are you looking at, you two idiots? Hurry up and follow me!"

The two of them finally reacted and quickly ran down the mountain.

"Master Li, you are amazing! You can even come up with such a solution!" Yang Chen was sincerely impressed this time, "In the mountains, this is really the best way."

"It would be even better if we had a wooden sled." Xie Ruifeng also reacted and added.

Qi Jingyue thought he was just nitpicking and said:
"How about you make one now?"

"Hehehe, I don't have that ability. I was just saying that." Xie Ruifeng dared to speak secretly about Li Long but did not dare to complain to Qi Jingyue.

Li Long actually brought back the roe deer entrails not just for the three young people. When you are away from home, you have to take care of yourself. Now that you have the conditions, why not make something delicious?

Those canned foods are fine for freshness, but if you really want to eat good food, these things are better!

He planned to soak some chili peppers when he got back, then go to the spring to clean his stomach and intestines thoroughly, and then have a pancake and some fried offal for dinner, which would definitely be delicious!

As for hunting, these two prey are enough to cover the task. As for hunting wild boar tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter if we go there or not, it doesn't matter at all.

Li Long naturally wanted to kill more, after all, every extra kill would earn him an extra 100 or 200 yuan. This money might not be a big deal for these young people, but for him, it was the key to accumulating a little to make a lot, and it was very important!
Here, each wild boar is equivalent to half or one-third of a tractor's wheel. How could it not be important?

Dragging the plastic sheet back, Li Long picked the right path according to his memory. It was different from when he came here - when he came here, he turned to Halim, but this time, he was thinking about how to get closer and how to avoid getting caught on the plastic sheet.

As they were walking, Xie Ruifeng suddenly spoke:

"Master Li, this doesn't seem to be the way we came here!"

Li Longtou did not reply, but said as he walked:

"We took a detour on the way here and went to the Hot Spring Valley. We don't need to take a detour on the way back. We need to get back to the cabin before the sun sets."

After he said this, the three young men understood.

They walked back with one deep step and one shallow step. Xie Ruifeng was smarter and walked directly along the traces left by Li Long. Qi Jingyue was more honest and stayed at the edge of the plastic sheet, fearing that the two prey would be knocked over.

Fortunately, when we walked to the wooden house, the two preys stayed obediently on the plastic sheet.

The driver heard the noise and came out of the house. When he saw the four people, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was obviously worried.

Li Long dragged the plastic sheet to the wooden floor in front of the wooden house. After letting go, he went to the roe deer and took out the internal organs. Then he took out a large basin from the small room and put the internal organs in it.

The body of the roe deer was frozen hard, and Li Long still took some effort to complete the action without damaging the roe deer.

Next, he did not wash immediately. Instead, he went to the small room to get some dried chilies, soaked them in water, drank some water and rested for a while. Then he carried the large basin to the spring.

The water near the spring is always flowing. Although the temperature is not high, to be honest, it is at least a little warmer than ice and snow.

While Li Long was doing these things, Qi Jingyue, Yang Chen and Jie Ruifeng had already taken down their guns and placed them in the house, and sat on the wooden kang to rest.

For them, this trip was really a bit overloaded and exceeded their imagination of hunting.

"I thought hunting was just about driving a car to a hunting spot, and then shooting when the prey came." Yang Chen held a bowl of hot water, blowing on it while drinking, and sighed, "I didn't expect hunting requires such a long distance, and so much knowledge and skills! I thought I was a pretty good shot, and I was very good at shooting fixed targets and moving targets, but I didn't expect that when shooting these prey, the feeling was completely different!"

"Who said it wasn't?" Xie Ruifeng also sighed. He was so tired that he simply lay down on the wooden kang, looking at the roof of the wooden house and said, "I thought that even if my shooting skills were not good, I could at least hit one or two bullets with a submachine gun. Unexpectedly, I shot into the sky... This hunting - is considered actual combat? It is really different from playing with guns at ordinary times. I felt excited and thrilled at the time, but in the end, I missed the target with my first shot..."

Qi Jingyue pursed her lips and said nothing.

After Yang Chen and Jie Ruifeng finished talking, they were originally thinking of waiting for her to speak, but she just held the bowl and drank water, looking through the door at Li Long who was busy outside.

The driver looked at the wolf and the roe deer with great interest. After studying them for a while, he came in and said with a smile:

"It seems that the hunting guide I found for you this time is quite good. He got a lot of rewards with just one move. He is really amazing!"

"This is really amazing!" Yang Chen admired Li Long very much. At least at that time, he felt that he would need to practice for half a year to master the shooting skills.

"It's not that amazing actually. This is our first time." Xie Ruifeng slowly returned to the role of a theoretical warrior and analyzed, "Master Li is a good shooter. I think it's because he hunts often. He's used to it, so he naturally knows how to draw the gun and how to aim. It's just like those people who shoot clay pigeons on TV. When they see the clay pigeons go out, they don't really aim. They just rely on their feelings. They just raise the gun and shoot to know whether it's there or not."

This sounded reasonable, and Yang Li wanted to nod, but he found that Qi Jingyue turned his head and looked at Li Ruifeng with a slightly dissatisfied look.

He didn't say anything else.

With a turn of his eyes, Yang Chen thought of another question:
"Jingyue, it's getting dark. Should we go down the mountain now or wait until tomorrow?"

"Shall we go down the mountain now?" Xie Ruifeng sat up immediately upon hearing this question and expressed his opinion, "We have caught something and our hunting addiction has subsided. We should go back. Even if we stay at the county guesthouse, it's better than here, right? I'm still a little hungry."

His eyes also fell on Qi Jingyue.

Qi Jingyue turned around, glanced at him and said:
"You can go back if you want. I plan to go with Master Li tomorrow morning to see if I can kill a wild boar."

She felt that her performance today was particularly bad. Thinking back, she realized that there were some areas where she could have done better. If she were given another chance, she believed that her performance would be even better.

So Qi Jingyue didn't want to go back now. To put it bluntly, although two prey were caught this time, it was all Li Long's credit. He and Yang Chen just played a supporting role at most. If it weren't for the three of them, Li Long would still be able to catch that roe deer.

Qi Jingyue came hunting not only to prove herself, but also to fulfill an agreement with her family and to fulfill her long-cherished wish. If she couldn't really kill a prey, she would be really unwilling.

"It's not going to be a good night." Xie Ruifeng had observed the wooden house. It looked big, but there were only two rooms and only one stove. It was impossible for so many people to have a good rest at night.

Yang Chen also considered this and advised:
"Jingyue, how about we go back to the county first and ask the driver to bring us here early tomorrow morning. Although we were told when we came here that hunting conditions in the wild might be a little tough, we can definitely create some favorable conditions."

At this time, Li Long had already washed the intestines, stomach and other internal organs, and came to the table in this room with a basin, took out a kitchen knife and started cutting. Seeing Li Long coming in, the three of them were silent. Instead, the driver asked with interest:
"Master Li, what are you going to do?"

"Stir-fry some offal. The roe deer stomach, intestines, heart, etc. taste good when stir-fried. It would be a pity to throw them away. I plan to stir-fry them and make dinner."

"Okay, you can cook too - not bad." The driver thought Li Long was pretty amazing.

"There's no other way. When you're hunting alone, you naturally have to learn everything to make your life more comfortable." Li Long said as he cut.

Qi Jingyue focused on Li Long's knife skills. What surprised her was that Li Long's cuts were quite neat, unlike some people as she imagined, who cut pieces of different sizes.

Yang Chen and Jie Ruifeng were also a little hungry. Seeing Li Long cutting something here, they sat up and watched.

After Li Long finished cutting, he prepared the seasonings and side dishes. He took out the soaked dried chilies, washed them twice, and then chopped them up.

There was water in the pot, so Li Long took another pot, lifted it up and put it aside, scooping water to wash the pot. When he took the pot down, he saw that the charcoal fire in the stove was enough, so he stopped adding coal, waited for the pot to dry, poured oil, and prepared to cook.

Seeing Li Long's skillful movements, the three young men were quite looking forward to it. Yang Chen and Jie Ruifeng no longer mentioned leaving, as if they were waiting for Li Long to finish what they wanted to taste.

Li Long started to stir-fry the offal under the gaze of the four people. The process was a bit long. While stir-frying, he also took the time to mix some dough, planning to make a pancake later. After all, it is not enough to eat offal without staple food. This time, the biscuits were mainly brought, which were good for filling the stomach temporarily, but not for a meal. He felt that if conditions allowed, he still had to eat a proper meal.

It took about half an hour to stir-fry the internal organs. Firstly, the fire in the stove was not strong enough, and secondly, Li Long hoped that they would be fully cooked. After all, the internal organs of herbivores might still contain some parasites.

In the past, he mostly cooked it before eating. The cooking process was quite long and basically killed all possible parasites.

But stir-frying is not guaranteed, so Li Long tries to prolong the time as much as possible.

He cut a lot and fried a large pot of it, which was also an important reason why the frying time took so long.

The fragrance filled the room, and the three young men and the driver couldn't help swallowing.

Li Long took out his chopsticks and said:

"You guys are going to be hungry, eat first. I'll make some cornmeal porridge and some bread."

No one was willing to eat first, Yang Chen smiled and said:
"Let's eat together. I'm looking forward to seeing what the pancakes look like."

Xie Ruifeng also nodded and said:

"That's right, let's eat together. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer, don't you think, Jingyue?"

Qi Jingyue also nodded, stood up and found a lid to cover the fried offal to prevent it from cooling down too quickly.

Li Long quickened his pace. After washing the pot, he started adding water. He added half of the water and when it boiled, the dough had already been kneaded and torn into lumps. He rolled them out with a rolling pin and was ready.

Then he scooped half a bowl of warm water, added a spoonful of corn flour into it, stirred it with chopsticks, and waited.

The water hadn't boiled yet, but the edge of the pot was already hot, so Li Long started to put the pancakes on it. It was going well, his movements were quick and skillful, and the dough didn't fall off.

It sounds like a lot, but in fact it only took a few minutes. By the time a circle of pancakes were stuck on, the water had boiled. Li Long carefully poured the cornmeal water in and began to stir it with a spoon.

The porridge needs to be stirred. The more you stir it, the thicker the porridge becomes and the more fragrant it becomes.

But the four people watching couldn't help themselves any longer.

By the time Li Long took down the first pancake, the table had been cleaned and arranged, the chopsticks had been put away, and the other four people were seated, waiting for the pancakes.

Porridge is no longer the main thing.

"Eat." Li Long spoke.

They were just waiting for this sentence. The other people were very polite and restrained. After Li Long opened his mouth, they each took a pancake and started eating it.

"It smells so good!" These are what Yang Chen said.

Xie Ruifeng simply didn't say anything and just ate with big mouthfuls.

Li Long smiled and joined the ranks.

He is hungry too.

There was a pot of food and eight pancakes. Li Long only ate one. Fortunately, he was not particularly hungry, and he had to take care of the guests, so he drank two more bowls of cornmeal porridge.

After eating, when Li Long was cleaning up, several other people also joined in. This made Li Long very satisfied. They did not regard themselves as all-round hired men, but it could be seen that they were quite unfamiliar with doing these things, and they basically did not do them much at home.

After cleaning up here, Li Long said:
"Since we are staying here, let's get up early tomorrow morning and ambush the wild boar. If there is one there, it will be easier for us to ambush it than to hunt today. Of course, you should dress warmly to avoid getting cold. You don't have to go if you don't want to. It's up to you."

"Go, why not?" Yang Chen, who was full, was the first to express his opinion.

"I'll go too." Qi Jingyue said quietly.

"I will definitely go too." Xie Ruifeng was the last one to speak, but Li Long felt that he was not really thinking the same thing.

It was already dark outside. Li Long lit the oil lamp and said:

"Then we'll just make do with it tonight. Fortunately, this kang is quite big, and we can use the fire next door. How do you plan to rest tonight? You three will stay here, and the driver and I will go over there? Do you have any bedding or anything in your car?"

"There are a few fur coats." Qi Jingyue said, "I think this wooden kang is quite big, I'll go to the next room, you four can squeeze in here."

"Then lock the door. Oh, and take your gun with you." It wasn't that cold next door. This house was insulated using traditional methods, so the temperature here would have an impact on the next door.

It would not be realistic for Qi Jingyue to live here alone. After all, it was a small room and four grown men could not fit in it.

"You don't have to keep watch at night, right?" Yang Chen suddenly asked.

"No, there may be wolves nearby, but the door is locked and they can't get in." Li Long said, "Okay, let's rest early. We have to ambush before dawn tomorrow. We still have to walk several kilometers. We can't waste time."

Yang Chen and the others went to help Qi Jingyue decorate the room next door and came back soon. Li Long heard the sound of closing and knocking on the door from there.

The leather coats that Qi Jingyue and the others brought were thick and large enough, and together with the spare bedding that Li Long brought, they were enough to keep people warm.

There were four people here. The driver was fine and wanted to chat for a while, but Li Long and the others were already exhausted. After putting out the fire, they soon didn't want to talk anymore.

Xie Ruifeng was the first to start snoring, followed by Yang Chen. Yang Chen was even talking in his sleep from time to time, and it seemed that he was really tired.

Li Long also fell asleep quickly.

Li Long woke up at around five in the morning.

The other three people on the wooden kang were snoring. Li Long got up and looked at the time in the faint light of the fire, and knew it was time to set off.

He put on his clothes, woke up Yang Chen and Jie Ruifeng, and knocked on the door next door. By now, the wild boars should have started moving.

As for whether we can catch anything, that depends on whether the wild boar goes to the place Halimu mentioned.

It depends on luck. (End of this chapter)
