Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Li Qingxia was a bit clumsy in using the double-barreled shotgun. Li Long and Li Jianguo had already loaded the bullets, but he was still stuffing them in. After he had done that, he tried several times but couldn't close it.

"Dad, let me do it." Li Long turned off the safety of his gun and put it on his back, then went to take the gun from his father's hand.

Li Qingxia knew that the gun should not be pointed at people, so he handed the gun to Li Long at an angle.

Li Long looked at the position of the bullet jam and found no problem, so he closed the gun with force.

Handing the gun to his father, Li Long said:
"Dad, I'll hit the one on the left, my big brother will hit the one on the right, and you can hit whatever you want in the middle."

"Hit!" Li Qingxia smiled.

He was actually laughing at himself. He was over sixty years old, but he was still a little nervous about hunting.

Don't worry, if you can't hit it, then you can't hit it. Anyway, the two sons can definitely hit it. He has the least chance to use a gun among the three. When he was young, he played with a "juebazi" for a few days, which is a bit like this sand gun.

Anyway, it can't hit as far as a rifle.

Li Long took off his gun and half-knelt to aim. Li Jianguo didn't do that. He just stood there, holding the gun and aiming. Li Qingxia weighed the gun and felt there was no need to squat, so he also stood and aimed.

"Dad, the recoil of that gun is very strong. You have to hold on tight and press it firmly against your shoulder. Otherwise, it will hit your shoulder and it will hurt!" Li Jianguo also reminded him.

He had shot both rifles and sand guns, and knew that if they were not used properly, it would be easy to hurt yourself.

Li Qingxia was originally somewhat confident and a little excited, but now that his two sons reminded him, he also became cautious.

But he did not complain that his two sons used rifles and asked him to use a hunting rifle. When hunting, you must first make sure you hit something. A rifle can shoot far and accurately, so you must hit something first.

During the past year, Li Qingxia has lived in his eldest son's house. His youngest son has brought him meat from time to time. He has meat in almost every meal. However, due to the habit he has developed over decades, he still feels that he should stock up on some food, especially in this cold winter.

There is no shortage of food or winter vegetables at home right now, so let’s stock up on meat.

So since we are here to hunt, we should just focus on whether we can get something to hunt first. As for whether we have fun or not, that is secondary.

Li Long has already aimed at the yellow sheep on the far left. He doesn't want big and beautiful ones, but the meat of wild sheep is better if they are small and female.

Li Long was aiming at a small ewe, about two or three years old, which was now staring vigilantly at the uninvited guests on the roadside.

Li Jianguo was aiming at a young male gazelle. Its horns were not very long, but it was quite big.

Li Qingxia made a choice and finally decided to hit the leader. Whether he could hit it or not was not a big deal, but he would aim at it first, as it was a big target and easy to hit.

"One, two, three! Hit!"

Li Long shouted the number and immediately pulled the trigger when he arrived.

In fact, at this time the yellow sheep had already been alert, and the big-headed sheep had turned around and was ready to run away. Li Long and his men fired relatively timely, and two yellow sheep were knocked down, but Li Qingxia's was not hit.

Li Qingxia was not disappointed. He smiled and said:
"Just hit it, and quickly drag the yellow sheep back!"

The remaining gazelles had already fled in all directions when the gunshots were heard. These guys accelerated very quickly over short distances and soon disappeared from sight.

Li Long and his men were just about to put away their guns and get the yellow sheep back when a large truck roared over, carrying snow and powder. The three men dodged in all directions.

When the big truck was less than thirty meters away from the jeep, it suddenly slowed down, and the snow powder that was swept over slowly dispersed. When the truck arrived in front of the jeep, it honked the horn, and the snow powder that came with the wind no longer had any power.

After the truck passed, it started to accelerate and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

"Hey, we are just pretending to be powerful again." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "The truck driver thought we were the leaders."

"Haha, let's go. We have to get the yellow sheep back quickly." Li Long smiled and moved forward with his gun on his back.

Although Li Qingxia missed the target, he still walked forward with his gun in hand.

Li Long came to the little yellow sheep first and shot it in the head with a single shot. The sheep died instantly.

He turned his head and saw that the one Li Jianguo had shot had been hit in the neck, also killing him instantly. It seemed that the eldest brother was also a very good shooter.

Li Qingxia looked around and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, these sheep are great. They weigh over 30 kilograms each. They'll be enough to feed us for dozens of days!"

Carrying the sheep back to the jeep, Li Long began to dissect the sheep on the side of the road. He first took out the internal organs, but this time he did not throw them away. Instead, he put them directly into a bag and would deal with them again when he got home.

Both sheep were treated in the same way, and Li Jianguo was also dissecting that sheep. These were all discussed before coming here, so we will roughly process them here first, and then dissect them in detail after returning.

After simple processing, put the sheep and their internal organs into a bag, threw it into the trunk, and continued on their way.

They brought a lot of bags when they came, and they are now ready to use.

The jeep continued to move forward. They drove slowly, and several trucks either overtook them or came towards them. Some trucks also honked their horns.

Li Long smiled and continued driving, looking for the traces of the yellow sheep as he drove.

In fact, if you go north to the desert at this time, there may be more gazelles. But he is not familiar with the road over there, and the road in the north is not as easy to drive as this national highway. It will be troublesome if the car gets stuck.

So it’s better to just stay here. Even if you can’t hit much, at least it’s safe.

The jeep drove past Anjihai, which was not far from Kuitun.

Compared to the tractor, the jeep was quite warm, but Li Long still felt a little cold. He looked both ways while driving, but he didn't see the herd of gazelles.

"Huh? What's that?"

This time, Li Qingxia was the first to discover something.

Li Long stopped the car and turned his head to look in the direction where Li Qingxia was pointing.

He really didn't notice that they were a group of guys that looked a little different from gazelles. They were bigger than gazelles, but more agile. They were more than a hundred meters away from the roadside.

Because of their gray fur, Li Long didn't notice them for a while. However, Li Qingxia could see that they moved after the jeep passed by.

The noise of the jeep scared these things, and they ran eastward all of a sudden, bringing up a large ball of snow powder.

"It doesn't look like a gazelle, nor a roe deer, nor a deer. What is it?" Li Long was a little surprised as he watched those things disappear from his sight.

"Whatever. If we can't hit them, let's just keep going forward." Li Jianguo was not satisfied yet, and said while holding the gun in the car, "Let's keep going forward. There were too many cars just now, and the yellow sheep were scared away. Now there are fewer cars, maybe there are some ahead."

Li Long was a little disappointed, however, after a sudden turn of events, when they were still more than ten kilometers away from the Kuitun military station, they saw a huge herd of gazelles!
There were at least fifty or sixty gazelles walking from the north to the southeast, probably also trying to find food in the mountains.

There is a desert in the north with limited edible grass, and the mountains in the south are all sandy and nothing grows there.

Only in the southeast, near the mountains of Shicheng Ma County, after two layers of mountains, there are shrubs and weeds in the mountains further in, which are enough for them to eat.

There are also many farmlands over there, and some of them still have leftover crop stalks that have not been cleared, which can provide them with a good meal.

This group of gazelles were crossing the road, and when they saw the jeep coming, they immediately sped up.

Occasionally, there are yellow sheep picking up grass stalks by the roadside and are reluctant to leave.

The jeep stopped about 50 to 60 meters away from the group of yellow sheep, which made the yellow sheep slow down again.

"Dad, this time you take the rifle and look at that flock of sheep. You can shoot them just by aiming." Li Long handed his 565 rifle to his dad and taught him how to open the safety and load the bullet.

Men are born to love guns.

Li Long took the double-barreled sand gun, loaded a bullet, and aimed at the leading sheep that had already led the way in front of him - a little ram next to him.

Li Jianguo had also jumped out of the car, and aimed his gun on the hood of the jeep at the gazelles on the side of the road.

These gazelles were timid after all. While Li Long and his men were operating their guns, the gazelles behind them had already crossed the road and a large group of them rushed southward.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Li Long's double-barreled shotgun hit the target with the first shot, but missed with the second shot. Li Qingxia's first shot missed with the second shot, but hit a hornless female yellow sheep.

Li Jianguo shot the first yellow sheep with one shot and then shot another one with another shot.

When the gunshots rang out, the gazelles screamed, then they all scattered and ran away.

Li Long quickly reloaded and shot another one, but unfortunately he had no chance anymore.

This time, Li Qingxia's mouth corners were raised and she couldn't suppress it.

He raised his gun and aimed again and again, seeing the gazelle running too far away, but he was reluctant to waste another bullet. It was already very good to hit one.

After the herd of gazelles dispersed, Li Long drove his jeep over there and then headed south to bring back the gazelles.

It will take a while to deal with the four gazelles.

The trunk was full, and a yellow sheep's eggs, packed in a bag, were placed on the front seat. Li Qingxia and Li Jianguo sat in the back seat.

"Let's go back." Li Long said, "There's no more room."

"It's not enough yet." Li Jianguo hit it twice, but he still felt unsatisfied.

"Then come back later when you have time." Li Long said with a smile, "Winter is still long."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Qingxia was no match for the young man after all. Although he was excited after all this going on, he also felt a little tired.

After he said that, Li Jianguo knew that he couldn't fight anymore.

"If we run any further, we'll almost reach Kuitun. There's a military station there, and it'll be troublesome to come out and check our guns." Li Long said, "Let's go back."

"Okay, let's go back." Li Jianguo nodded, then the jeep turned around and drove back.

On the way back, when they were almost at Shawan, they encountered a small group of gazelles. There were only six of them, and they were particularly alert and timid. As soon as the jeep came over, they immediately ran south to the Gobi Desert and soon disappeared in the bushes.

Li Long guessed that this group of gazelles should have been separated from other groups, and the leader should have just been appointed, so he was particularly timid.

Only in this way can we survive.

Li Long didn't stop the car and continued driving back.

We have to go back as soon as possible to deal with the yellow sheep.

Li Jianguo thought about going back to return the gun first and then borrowing it again when fighting again.

In fact, a small caliber gun will do, but if you miss the vital point, the gazelle may still run away, which is more troublesome.

Li Qingxia was quite pleased that he was able to hit a yellow sheep, which was really good.

If I were in my hometown, I could play this by myself for half a year!
The jeep drove to the large yard. The policeman on duty at the police station diagonally opposite was a little surprised. Why was this jeep in that yard every day?

At this time, they had already eaten lunch, but the three people in the jeep were not very hungry. Gu Xiaoxia had not yet gone to work. When she heard the noise, she came over with Sister Yang to open the door.

The jeep drove into the yard, and the officer on duty at the police station went in and reported the situation to his superiors.

Sister Yang saw three people getting off the bus and asked:
"You haven't eaten yet? I'll go make dinner now."

"No, no." Li Long knew that even if he did, it wouldn't be enough for three people in a short time, so he said, "Let's clean up the yellow sheep and go out to eat later. You guys do your own things."

After Gu Xiaoxia greeted Li Qingxia and Li Jianguo, Li Qingxia hurriedly let her in. Gu Boyuan went to the agricultural supplies store early after lunch. There were many people coming these two days, and he was afraid of delaying business.

Seeing that Li Qingxia and Li Jianguo were both very determined, Gu Xiaoxia went into the house. She was really afraid of the cold, and she was not in a hurry as she still had a while before going to work.

Li Long was determined not to let Sister Yang cook, so she helped to expand the space, and Li Long and Li Jianguo started to collect the yellow sheep here.

Li Longlai was mainly responsible for skinning. Although Li Jianguo also knew how to skin the animals, he was worried that the skin would be scratched and would be worthless, so he followed them in.

There are six gazelles in total, which is enough meat for the winter.

When Li Long was peeling the skin, the door outside opened and Sister Yang went to open it.

Guo Tiebing walked in wearing a police uniform.

Guo Tiebing was also shocked to see so many gazelles in the yard.

Li Long raised his eyes and saw him. He quickly wiped the grease on the yellow sheepskin, stood up and said with a smile:

"Officer Guo is here? These are the yellow sheep we hunted in the uninhabited area to the west today."

"Not bad, not bad, it's quite powerful and the harvest is quite great." Guo Tiebing said casually. It's not like he hasn't seen such a situation before. The Public Security Bureau sometimes does such things to improve the food.

The reason why I was surprised was mainly because I didn't expect Li Long to have it too.

He thought of the purpose of coming here, pointed at the jeep and asked:
"Xiao Li, that is..."

"Oh, you mean this car? It was placed here by our state commune leader. He assigned me a task, and since I had to travel a lot and my tractor was a bit slow, he left this car behind."

Li Long went to find a towel to wipe his hands, then went to get the certificate and showed it to Guo Tiebing.

Guo Tiebing understood it after reading it, but he just couldn't understand why the car was given to Li Long.

He vaguely remembered that Li Long was not an employee of the county supply and marketing cooperative? It seemed that he was still a temporary worker...

"Because I am friends with many of the herdsmen in the mountains," Li Long explained again and stopped talking.

Guo Tiebing filled in some information in his mind, returned the documents to Li Long with a smile, and said, "The leader thinks highly of you."

"Haha, it's mainly because I have some special skills." Li Long smiled, turned around and handed the half-chopped sheep to Guo Tiebing:
"Officer Guo, you see, we are neighbors. This is a freshly shot yellow sheep. We killed a lot, so we can share some with you. Let's eat together."

“No, no,” Guo Tiebing waved his hand and stepped back hastily, “We have food…”

"Take it. You're welcome." Li Long stuffed the lamb leg into his hand. "Look, there are so many yellow sheep here. We can't eat them all. Let's eat them together."

Guo Tiebing had no choice but to take it, chatted with Li Long for a few more words, and then went back to report to his leader.

"Comrade Xiao Li is really a very capable person." The leader was also a little surprised. "Xiao Guo, have you seen it carefully? Is that certificate real?"

"Really? If you don't believe me, we can call the state supply and marketing cooperative."

"No, no. Since he dares to use this car under our noses, it means he has nothing to hide." The leader waved his hand and said:

"Okay, let's send the meat to the kitchen... Forget it, let's not send it there. Let the kitchen just chop it up and let everyone take the raw meat back. It will be considered as a gift of comfort from the common people.

Ask the officers on duty to pay more attention to that yard, and make sure no petty thieves target it."

By the time the remaining six and a half sheep were dealt with, the sun was already setting.

Li Long and his friends were really hungry, so they put the mutton on the skin, and then the three of them hurried to the cafeteria to eat.

I didn't drive while eating, mainly because I was afraid of being too conspicuous.

After returning, they put the four yellow sheep and their offal into bags and put them in the car. Li Qingxia and Li Jianguo got in, and Li Long drove out of the yard.

Sister Yang and Li Long waved and closed the gate of the compound. She did not go out to sell food in the afternoon, but stayed to clean up the meat and offal.

Li Long drove to Liang Donglou's house first. When the jeep whizzed through the village, it really attracted a lot of attention.

Such a car is rarely seen in the village!

The children chased the car to the door of Liang's house, and the adults followed to watch.

The jeep didn't stay in the Liang family yard for long. Someone got out to put down some things, chatted for a few words, and then left.

After the jeep left, someone immediately went to the Liang family to inquire who was driving the jeep.

"My relative." Liang Wenyu said with a smile, "He came to send me some gifts."

The Liang family had such a powerful relative, which shocked many people. Those who usually looked down on the Liang family were now puzzled. When did the Liang family have such a powerful relative who could even drive a car?
Even Blind Liu couldn't help but come over to ask, but the Liang family was vague and didn't give any specific details.

Blind Liu became more cautious in his actions afterwards. If he couldn't afford to provoke someone, could he just not provoke him?
Li Long drove a jeep out of the Liang family's village, turned a corner, went to the county town, and then drove north to the fourth team.

It was getting dark. When the jeep arrived at the middle school, we found that the school had already been dismissed. There were only a few students who didn't want to go home and were still playing around on the road.

When we drove to the elementary school, the gate was locked and we didn't see many students along the way. Occasionally, there were students who heard the noise and saw the jeep and quickly avoided it and hid in the snow on the side of the road.

Li Long didn't stop and drove quickly to Li's house.

Someone in the village saw the jeep driving towards Li's house again, and some people started to speculate again.

Liang Yuemei, Du Chunfang and their two children were all in the yard after hearing the noise. After the jeep stopped, they helped unload the things.

Lu Yingming saw it in the yard and originally wanted to come over to take a look, but when he saw people unloading things, he didn't come over.

Mrs. Lu urged him to come over to check the situation, but he shook his head and went back into the house. (End of this chapter)
