Chapter 782 Little Sled

Chapter 782 Little Sled

If the weather is fine, it will take about six or seven days to dry the wood frog in the sun. However, the frog oil (fallopian tube) of the wood frog has not yet dried well, and it will take about ten days to dry completely.

Lu Lu went to the capital for a trip. It has been ten days now, but during this period, the weather has been cloudy. Although it has not snowed, the drying effect is definitely not good.

He was a little worried, so in the morning, he rode Zhui Feng to Raymond's house.

Every night, the racks for drying forest frogs are carried one by one to the warehouse of the wild goose farm, and then taken out again the next day. The process is a bit troublesome, but the important thing is safety.

Raymond has always been careful in this regard.

When they arrived at the farm, Lu Lu asked Raymond to go and see it together. Only then did he learn that in the past few days, in order to make the frogs work faster, they had put four charcoal braziers in the barn every night.

With this operation, Lu Lu went to the warehouse, took out a forest frog, directly broke off a pair of long legs that the forest frog stretched straight after drying, then uncovered the cortex of the abdomen, and removed the black frog eggs inside. Light yellow lumps of frog oil are exposed.

Take it off and see that the frog oil is almost dry.

Lu Lu simply asked Raymond to organize his people and spent a whole morning teaching everyone how to peel off the frog oil and preserve it.

There isn't much going on on the farm now, just simple feeding.

There is enough fodder and food prepared, so there is no problem at all.

This is the most leisurely time of the year for everyone.

It's time to do this.

Next, we just need to wait until the weather clears up and keep the bee colonies in several bee farms warm.

After spending a whole morning teaching them how to peel the frog oil in detail, Lu Lu watched them do it for a while. After making sure that there was no problem, he was ready to go home. When he went out, he saw Lin Zidao and Lin Yujuan from a distance. People come back along the road.

"Uncle Lin, little sister...where are you going?"

He walked up to him and asked with a smile.

"There was a foal at the racecourse that was sick, so I went to check it out," Lin Zidao said.

"Is it a big problem?"

"Abdominal bloating... it's not a big problem. I got some medicine and gave it a drink. I watched it subside before coming back. My apprentice is still at Lao Zhao's place. I left the matter of giving him medicine for the second time. He will be there to guard you, don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

"You guys are doing things, why should I be worried... By the way, uncle, can you do me a favor and get me twenty or thirty white coats?"

When Lu Lu saw the two of them, this was the first thing that came to his mind.

"Why do you need so many white coats?" Lin Zidao asked with some confusion.

"Of course we are dressed for hunting. Think about it, after the snow falls, the mountains and fields are covered with white. Wearing a white coat, it will be the same as the snow. In that case, wild animals will not easily find us and will not be surprised all of a sudden. escape."

Disguise, very necessary disguise.

Especially when you get to Lao Maozi, it is even more necessary.

"I understand when you say that...but you are only five people. By the way, will Yulong take you with you this time?"

Lin Zidao is more concerned about this issue.

Following Lu Lu and others into the mountains to carry sticks, Lin Yulong had received a lot of money in the past few months. With so much money, even Lin Zidao was frightened, so he became looking forward to it.

"Go hunting in the winter. To be honest, the cold weather is a big problem, and those hungry beasts are also quite dangerous. To be honest, Jade Dragon is a bit too well-mannered. Although his marksmanship is good, after observing him in the past few months, I think he is more It's suitable to stay on the farm." Lu Lu said cryptically.

Lin Zidao pondered for a while and nodded: "I know what you mean. After he came back, he told me about the incident in the mountains where someone lured a blind man and destroyed his tent. He also told me about being kidnapped in Harbin. He became a soldier, but he was too honest and disciplined in his mind to understand the dangers in the mountains."

Lu Lu asked with a smile: "Does he think we are too ruthless?"

"That's probably what he meant, but I gave him a hard lesson. After all, he was still too young. I also warned him not to spread the word." Lin Zidao sighed longly: "He doesn't understand. Many times in the mountains, people talk about If you follow the rules, you are seeking death."

"This is why I can't take him into the mountains anymore. Please forgive me!"

"I understand. I have lived a long time, seen a lot of storms, and heard a lot of things. It is for his own good not to take him with me."

"It's good if he can figure it out. With his temperament, it's too easy to suffer losses in the mountains."

"By the way, just five sets of white coats for the five of you. Why do you need so many?"

"The people have all changed into white, the guns are still black, and there are a few dogs and horses..."

Dogs were definitely indispensable, but Lu Lu hesitated for a long time whether to bring horses with them. If they were brought with them, the target would be too big. Without them, the number of furs caught in the mountains would increase, and it would be difficult to transport them, and there would be hunting. Tools and various supplies, it would be difficult for them to carry all those hunting gear alone, and hunting gear is an excellent way to obtain furs. The most important thing... After thinking about it, I still have to bring it with me.

"Oh, you are so thoughtful. No wonder we hunt so many prey every year! It's very simple to get some white coats whenever you need them. I'll get them for you today and deliver them to your home tomorrow."

"Thank you uncle!"

"You're welcome... Come and sit in the infirmary?"

"I won't go. I'd rather go home to spend time with my wife and children."

"I think it's true that you are thinking about your wife!" Lu Lu smiled, took Zhui Feng and rode back to his own meadow.

Along the way, the horse galloped wildly in the snow. The black horse was like a dragon, galloping like lightning. Along the way, snowflakes were flying in front of it, and snow smoke was rolling behind. This mixture of black and white was completely wild.

Lu Lu also let it run wildly, and when he got on the road that branched off to Caodianzi, his whole face was covered with a thick layer of snowflakes.

When several dogs saw Lu Lu's return, they rushed to the fence and pounced. Little Zhengyang also followed behind several half-grown puppies, making fun together.

Lu Lu looked at this scene with some whims.

He returned to the yard, patted the snowflakes off his body, went into the house to warm up for a while, picked up the ax and went up the mountain, and soon got a few walnut sticks.

Seeing Lu Lu playing around in the yard, Chen Xiuyu couldn't help but asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"I made a small sled for the little calf. Look at him playing so crazy with a few dogs... Let him experience the fun of dog sledding."

Lu Lu remembered that when he was at the Bird's Nest Island Farm, someone did this to his own children. A rhubarb pulled the children in the sled and wandered around. Wherever they went, they were the brightest ones.

"It comes out as soon as you think about it!" Chen Xiuyu rolled her eyes, but did not stop him and let him play with it.

Dog sledding is actually mostly concentrated in the Arctic or areas around the Arctic Circle. Those places are covered with snow all year round, making it difficult for vehicles or horses to move. Therefore, sled dogs with snow wolf genes have become the most effective means of transportation in the polar regions.

They not only pull people, they can also pull goods, guard reindeer herds, etc. They can go to places that are otherwise inaccessible.

The so-called sled dog is commonly known as husky.

But Lu Lu felt that the big stupid dog was no worse than them.

The sudden idea made Lu Lu hesitate. Is it necessary to train Yuanbao and the others? If they could pull the sled, it might save them the trouble of riding a horse.

But then I thought about it, following the hunt in the mountains for a long time already requires a lot of energy from them. If a sled is added to it, it will be too heavy for them. Without enough energy, the hunting effect will be great. discount.

Can't do this!

A sled is a sledge. It is very simple to make, not to mention it is just a toy for children.

It only took more than two hours to be easily manipulated by Lu Lu.

Using nails and wire is much easier than opening mortise and tenon joints.

Even the nooses prepared for several half-grown puppies were quickly cut out of a piece of roe deer skin.

After Chen Xiuyu brought the little calf home from the snow to warm himself by the fire, he knew that Lu Lu was playing with toys for him, so he came out of the house again and squatted by the fire pot to watch, eagerly watching, but his mouth couldn't stop talking. , asking east and west.

"Dad, Mom said this sled was made for me to play with? Is it pulled by a dog? Can the dog pull it? Is the dog obedient?"

Questions popped out of my little mouth one after another.

"Of course it's for you to play with. Five dogs are afraid that they can't pull you... They are disobedient, you have to train them!"

Lu Lu played with his cub while playing with it.After the little sled was ready, he carried it out and walked out. The little kid followed immediately without saying anything.

When they arrived outside the yard, Lu Lu's dogs gathered around them affectionately. Lu Lu took the opportunity to collect the pups one by one and put a leather muzzle on them.

The puppies, who had never experienced such a thing, seemed at a loss and ran around in different directions.

The little calf was bold enough to jump on the sledge and sit down on the sledge. A pair of small hands wearing roe deer leather gloves tightly grasped the handrail in front of him. He excitedly imitated an adult riding a horse and drove the puppy as if it were a horse: "Drive... "

Several puppies tried their best, but all their strength was concentrated on the traction rope, and the sled finally started to move. This made the little guy extremely excited.

Lu Lu was watching from the side. Except that he was not allowed to beat the dog, he was allowed to do whatever he wanted.

After struggling for more than an hour, several dogs seemed to find that they couldn't break free from the leather muzzle, and it was easier to push in one place. Plus, there was a yelling little devil behind them, so they really couldn't pull themselves away. He started running on the snow in the meadow.

The little guy was so excited about playing that when he went to bed at night, he kept shouting in his sleep: "Drive, drive..."

The couple was lying on the kang, looking at the little guy who was restless in his sleep, and they both felt funny.

"How about... let's go for a ride too?"

Lu Lu looked at Chen Xiuyu and smiled, then leaned into Chen Xiuyu's ear: "It's time for us to have a second child..." He sniffed her hair with a faint scent of soap and bit her ear, which made Chen Xiuyu unable to bear it. I shivered.

"Yeah!" Chen Xiuyu bit her lip and nodded obediently.

Do everything you need to do while you are young. When you are in your 40s and in your prime, your children will have grown up, and you will have the energy to enjoy life.

……

Lu Lu moved the child far away. After playing for a long time, the child, who was tired from playing, showed no sign of opening his eyes.

He immediately turned over and pressed on, and was about to reach out to turn off the light, but the light suddenly went out.

The power was out, and it was the time of year when the power was cut off again, but we were really cooperative.

It’s easy to do things in vain!

For Lu Lu, the biggest advantage of the kang is that no matter how hard it is, it does not creak and is quiet!
