Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 786

Chapter 786

You must be alert at all times!

In this vast land, we not only have to be wary of wild animals, but also of people, even more so than at home.

Energy must be kept high at all times.

Snow is still falling in the sky, and the traces left behind are being quickly buried.

After a day of hunting yesterday and a long trek in the snow at night, the five of us were very tired.

"The only task today is to rest and recuperate. From tomorrow on, we have to plunge into the deep mountains and forests and start hunting."

After warming himself by the fire and wiping the ice water off his face, Lu Lu only dared to relax a little and became cautious again.It’s no longer a wilderness.

In the wilderness, although there are many people you meet, only a very small number of them make mistakes.

But it's different here. It's possible to meet anyone.

Lu Lu had to be vigilant as if everything was under control.

I made a simple meal. The peeled birch bark was simply trimmed and made by Zhao Yongke into a simple birch bark bowl. The chopsticks were also made from peeled birch bark branches. I used this simple tool to eat and drink.

For the Oroqen people, the use of birch bark and fur is something that is in their blood.

They are good at making birch bark into bowls, wine bottles, storage boxes, and all kinds of exquisite products, not to mention furs.

Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke both had special Oroqen hunting knives and deer bone chopsticks, which was more convenient for them.

After eating and drinking, several people added more firewood and then wrapped their mats around the fire to sleep.

The biggest advantage of Chuluozi is that the gap left on the top has the effect of a chimney. Even if a big fire is built inside, it will not be unbearable because the smoke cannot escape.

The roe deer skin is very good at insulating the cold outside, and can also collect the temperature inside very well, making the inside warm. The thermal insulation effect is no less than that of the tent we brought.

The Oroqen people have survived many cold winters with the help of Chuluozi and have maintained this method. This is also the crystallization of wisdom.

Simple but not simple.

During the meal, the dog was not fed.

Dogs can only be fed at night and cannot be fed during the day, which will affect their flexibility.

Dogs cannot be put into the cage to rest.

This will affect their own ability to withstand the cold, making them unable to withstand harsher environments.

The first few times I went into the mountains, every time I put the dog in a tent or an igloo, it was because of the extreme weather with big smoke bubbles outside.

During the rest during the day, someone has to guard the place, and the brothers take turns coming.

Zhao Yongke was the first to start duty. While several others were sleeping, he peeled birch bark from the tree, trimmed it with a hunting knife by the fire, baked it with firewood, and made some utensils.

Then came Lu Lu...

Just like this, time passed quietly to the next day, and everything was calm.

If someone had discovered those traces of crossing the border, they would have been chasing them long ago, so there is no need to worry now.

In the morning, they baked sticky bean buns and filled their stomachs with these hungry things. They packed their luggage, put on their wooden horses, and drove the sledge deeper into the mountains.

Not long after leaving, Yuan Bao heard barking.

Several people followed it and saw a leopard at the top of a birch tree.

There was something hanging on the branch. With sharp eyes, Lu Lu recognized it as a greyhound hanging on the branch.

You can tell it was Sable who did this kind of thing at a glance.

As soon as autumn arrives, sables begin to store food.A sable often stores several kilograms of food in several places. They also often dry the prey they capture on branches to prevent it from mold and deterioration.

Leopards often do this too. After catching prey, they must drag it up the tree as soon as possible and then enjoy it. The leftovers are hung on the tree to dry to prevent other prey from stealing it. It also has the effect of drying to prevent spoilage.

Obviously, this leopard was attracted by the greyhound hanging on it, so it chose to climb up a tree more than ten meters high.

However, the branches where the sable can run as fast as flying are not places that a leopard with a large body can reach. If you go up to the top and want to reach the greyhound, the branches as thick as a finger will be broken.

For a moment, the leopard couldn't eat any meat on his face, but he couldn't bear it after thinking about it.

Until it noticed Lu Lu and others approaching, it wanted to run away, but Lu Lu gave an order. Several dogs trapped it in a tree in time, and jumped several trees in an attempt to escape. What could the dogs do? Make it happen.

So, it squatted on the branch and looked down. What was waiting for it was a shot from Hou Lu Lu, causing it to fall from the tree. ,

There was a bang, causing snow foam to fly below.

Yuan Bao and the others rushed over immediately after avoiding them, but were stopped by Lu Lu in time.

Several people quickly gathered around and saw that the leopard just kept twitching and then stopped making any movement after a while.

After entering Waixing'an Mountains, they harvested their first prey so quickly. Several people looked at each other and started skinning it.

You have to peel the skin as early as possible, otherwise it will be a big trouble once it is frozen. You can't take the meat with you. In that case, there won't be much stuff on the sledge.

He peeled off the entire fur, fed the dog, and took some meat and leopard gallbladder to take back for eating. The other meat was also divided into small pieces and used as bait for traps.

Several people stepped on the wooden horses and continued to set traps everywhere in the mountains, looking for Xiong Cangzi and the fur beasts.

Not long after, he saw another sable on the tree, but Lu Lu directly released the white jade to catch it and brought it back.

One of the producing areas of sable is Lao Maozi, and the other is Dahuang.

It is worth mentioning that the sables from Lao Maozi are smaller than those from Dahuang, but in the international fur market, they have always had the highest unit price among fine fur furs. In comparison, the sables from Dahuang are even lower grade. Some.

A sable coat costs the price of a car. It's not a wild one, and the wild one is even more expensive.

In his early years, Lao Maozi made his fortune from furs to a large extent, including traveling all the way into the Outer Xing'an Mountains and into the wilderness. In the beginning, it was just to get more furs.

In fact, in the Wula Mountains, sables have been hunted and become endangered animals in many places. Therefore, protected areas were established early to prohibit the hunting of sables.

That is to say, there are many places like the Far East and Outer Xing'an Mountains.

Of course, they have already found a way to breed sable, and have established many sable farms to provide a large supply of mink fur.

Fur can be said to be their third pillar industry after oil and heavy industry.

It is precisely because of this that two pieces of fur caused a sensation in the past few years, leading to many underground channels and black markets.

These situations are actually getting worse now.

Next, several people divided the work and cooperated. Just like the previous hunting trips, Liang Kangbo, Zhang Shaofeng, and Lei Meng were responsible for setting up bait and traps everywhere, while Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke tracked and hunted the prey.

Here, they also saw many animals that are rarely seen in the wilderness, such as silver rats, arctic foxes and other animals.Green-rooted martens, otters, silver-black foxes, sand foxes, red foxes, sables, stoats, weasels, gray wolves, lynx, etc. are all good fur animals, and of course greyhounds, which don't seem to be very valuable, are also indispensable. But it is easy to accumulate things that can be sold for big prices, including moose. The fur of this big guy is a luxury product. A moose skin is worth a lot of money.

In this vast mountain wilderness, after a day's hard work, the fur animals caught in traps are much better than those in Daxinganling.

After three days in a row, I gained a lot.

On the fourth day, deep in the mountain forest, in a small plain between mountains, one look at the environment revealed that before it was frozen, it must have been a wetland.

There are many traces of wild animals on the snow in several surrounding valleys. The most common ones are otters. A few people simply set up a trap here and prepared to hunt for a few days.

Just when a few people set up a pile of roezi and cooked some meat in it, Yuanbao suddenly screamed.

Several people got out immediately and looked at the place where Yuan Bao prompted.

Soon, there was movement in the distance, shouts and roars.

Not long after, I saw a herd of reindeer being driven out of the birch forest diagonally opposite.

Immediately afterwards, a clicking sound sounded.

"Holy shit, you're hunting with a machine gun!"

Zhang Shaofeng said in surprise.

"With such a big guy, let alone hunting, massacre is no problem!" Raymond looked solemn: "We have to be careful, this is not an ordinary hunter, he should be from the army, otherwise there would be no such thing Big guy."

"Our chuluozi must not be hidden anymore. Hurry up and hide the fur..."

Lu Lu said hello, took the lead in throwing away the snow layer, and buried the bundles of furs he had picked up in the past few days under the snow layer.

Several people also rushed to help.

Soon, the furs were buried in the snow and thrown on top with a sledge to cover them up, leaving only a few snowshoe skins, roe deer, and greyhound skins on the surface.

Hiding it too tightly would be illogical.

The gunfire on the hillside was still rattling, but it came from the other side.

And with the sound of the gunshot, the reindeer running wildly in the forest fell one after another, and no one was spared.

"These beasts are so crazy!" Zhang Shaofeng cursed again in a low voice.

Lu Lu looked at the hillside diagonally opposite and smiled: "What's so strange about this? In the early years, I heard a rumor that a group of soldiers from Lao Maozi's side went into the mountains to hunt. One of the soldiers in the group When the recruit saw the prey, he directly used the submachine gun in his hand.

With a volley of fire, he missed the prey and killed five of his group. Because of this, the recruit and his boss were sent to a military court.

Later, a rule was issued: hunting with submachine guns was not allowed.

But Lao Maozi also knew how to adapt. He only said that submachine guns were not allowed to be used, but he did not say that machine guns were not allowed to be used.

Therefore, hunting with machine guns has become a big killer weapon for soldiers when they go hunting. Who can resist this big guy with more fierce firepower! "

Zhang Shaofeng and others were speechless for a while after hearing this, but they found it funny at the same time.

"Just like that kind of shooting, I'm not afraid of killing other people!"

"Just die, it's none of our business."

Lu Lu watched as more than a dozen figures emerged from various places on the hillside, surrounding the killed reindeer, then tied them with ropes and dragged them down the hillside.

Seeing this, Lu Lu hurriedly greeted a few people: "Hurry up and gather Luozi. I'm afraid these guys will come over, so don't say anything... Third brother, if they come over, it's up to you to deal with them!"

Zhao Yongke took a deep breath: "Okay!"

Then, he followed him into the roe deer, and the others silently picked up the roe deer meat cooked in the hanging pot, cut it with a hunting knife, dipped it in salt water with a little wild green onion, and then put it in In the mouth.

About 20 minutes later, the dozen or so people came down in groups of two, dragging the reindeer on a simple wooden sled. When they passed by Lu Lu and his group, a man who looked like an officer came over to take a look. When he came to the pitiful snow rabbit, greyhound and roe deer skins on the snow, he looked inside the pile with disdain.

Wuliwala said a few words, but none of them could understand them. They all turned to look at him with bewildered expressions on their faces.

But since others have spoken, it would be bad not to respond.

So, when Zhao Yongke looked at Lu Lu, Lu Lu nodded slightly.

Zhao Yongke followed him out of Chuluozi and spoke to the man in Oroqen dialect.

As a result, the other party couldn't understand Zhao Yongke's words.

The two sides gesticulated for a long time, and the soldier finally stomped away.

Sure enough, magic can only be defeated with magic!

I don't understand anyway!

But when the man returned to the team, he suddenly raised his gun and shot Lu Lu and the others indiscriminately. They were so startled that several dogs barked at them, and the horses jumped in fright.

Seeing this, Zhang Shaofeng picked up the semi-automatic machine on the side and was about to get out, but Lu Lu grabbed him.

"These bastards are going too far!"

I didn't understand what was said, but it didn't stop Zhang Shaofeng and others from feeling their malice.

"Don't mess around. If ordinary people disappeared in this mountain, they might be gone. But these people are in the army. Once something happens, they will definitely be investigated strictly. We are not the ones to mess with them. Besides, they have machine guns on hand. ! He didn’t hurt our dogs or horses, so he probably looks down on us and threatens us..."

Zhang Shaofeng felt angry after hearing this, but he still sat down again.

Listening to the noise and laughter of the people outside, Lu Lu shook his head: "It seems that the life of the Oroqen people living here is not easy!"

He looked at the group of people from Zuoluozi's door, and saw that they just made a fuss for a while before dragging their prey away. Lu Lu took a long breath.

Apparently, it did not arouse the suspicion of these people.

Zhao Yongke then got in, picked up the meat and continued eating.

"Third brother, what did you say to him?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.

Zhao Yongke laughed and said: "I asked him what he wanted to do, and told him that I didn't understand... But I saw that he was making gestures that he wanted to drink, so I told him directly that he didn't!"

"Are you panicking?" Lu Lu asked again.

"It seems...not so nervous!"

"That's good! If you encounter this again in the future, just do it!"

Who knows, at this moment, Yuan Bao and Bai Long screamed again.

Someone is here again!
