Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 462

Chapter 462

A piece of roe deer skin, for two hours, Lu Lu watched with his own eyes as Wu Nakan pinched the sharpening knife with his fingers, and was evenly divided in the slight sound of slamming. The skin he got was slightly smaller than the animal skin thinner.

He could imagine that when it was polished with fine sandpaper, it would probably be less than two millimeters.

The next step is to polish, which is even more delicate work.

The two-hour peeling took a lot of energy from Wuna, and it was getting late and the light was dimmed, so it was no longer suitable for operation.

Lu Lu went home after chatting with his family for a while.

The next day, after Lu Lu finished his work in Caodianzi in the morning, he rode Zhuifeng to the district, went to the state-run store, and returned with four colors of high-quality ink pads.

The ingredients in the inkpad are not easy to fade, so it is suitable for imitating the map on the animal skin book and distinguishing it by color.

In the afternoon, he went to Zhao Yongke's house again and brought back the finely polished roe deer skin.

Then, according to the size of the animal skin book, carefully cut out one by one.

In the next few days, one thing Lu Lu will do is to remove the map lines and marks on the animal skin book, remove the pages of the animal skin book, overlap and fix it with the new roe deer skin, and use a fine needle to keep following the pattern Poking, poking, and then re-outlining on the new roe deer skin, and marking them with color to distinguish them.

The locations of mountains, paths, rivers, and old signs are all separated by different colors.

Just for this matter, Chen Xiuyu put down the work at hand and devoted herself to this matter.

Looking at the brighter and clearer map and comparing it with the animal skin book, the couple were extremely excited.

It took a full three days to complete the copying of the animal skin book.

Feeling that there is no need for waxing and smoothing, Lu Lu did not go to Zhao Yongke again, but bound the leather with ribs and thread, and formed a new animal skin book.

The preparations for the response have been made, and Lu Lu heaved a long sigh of relief.

After a few days, the weather continued to clear and the thick snow deposits melted a lot. Seeing that there was no problem entering the mountain, Lu Lu went to find Zhang Shaofeng, Chen Xiuqing and Zhao Yongke on the same day, and made an appointment to enter the mountain together tomorrow.

Another manpower was added, and Lu Lu decided to go farther this time, planning to fight along the Stone River on the Nancha side.

The trails left by animals are easy to see on the river snow, which can be used to track prey well.

Moreover, the snow falls on the high mountains and the frost falls on the depressions, and the snow on the high places is thicker, but the snow on the river valleys is less, and it is precisely because of this that these places have become places where it is easier to find food.

Cooperating with hunting equipment such as wooden clips, mink nets, soft wire steel sleeves and iron clips, under the action of bait, he believes that there will be good harvests.

Once these traps are set up, if you focus on finding blind bears, sables, sika deer, red deer, foxes, badgers, water deer, etc., you will benefit as much as possible.

The next morning, the four of them gathered in Lulu's Caodianzi.

This time, several people drove the sledge, equipped with a lot of hunting gear, wine, mattresses and food, and after Lu Lv asked them to drink a bowl of bear oil, they drove all the way to Nancha District.

The distance is quite far, and it took a day to reach Wutong Village at the confluence of Shitou River and Nancha River in Nancha District.

They found a family directly in Wutong Village, gave them some accommodation and fodder money, and the four of them spent the night in the village. They set off early the next morning, drove the sledge, and went deep along the Stone River.

In the surrounding area, the terrain is quite complicated, and there are many rivers, Daxilin River, Xiaoxilin River, Wuma River, etc., there are several rivers that can be named.

Such a complex environment is destined to inhabit many wild animals.

It's a great place for hunting.

What really worries Lu Lu is that there are also places like Daxiong Xiazigou and Dagangou that he has already made up his mind about.

An, that is, moose, is the largest animal in the deer family, and can also obtain red goods such as deer penis and deer tendon.

Several people have been following the river for more than ten kilometers. The further they go, the more complicated the terrain is.

I chose a slightly flat place between the riverside and the valleys to settle down. Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing, who had been into the mountain several times with Lu Lu, consciously began to prepare the necessary equipment around when Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke were fiddling with tents. Firewood and blocks for heating at night.

After a busy morning, I simply ate lunch, dug an ice hole directly on the river surface, and fished out some fish with dip nets, preparing to use them as bait materials for setting traps.

After this trip, they were fully prepared, and planned to take advantage of the good opportunity that the river was frozen and they could walk without hindrance, and spend seven or eight days to search around the several rivers near this mountain.

Of course, the four also have a division of labor.

Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng have superb skiing skills, and they are mainly responsible for setting mink traps on the gentle slope halfway up the mountain.

After following Lu Lu for so many days, the two have been able to do a good job of setting traps.

On the other hand, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke went along the river to check the traces on the ice surface of the river and the snow on both sides of the river to pinch and hunt. Is there any bear warehouse.

When food is scarce, animals without the habit of hibernation are searching for more and more difficult food. Throughout the winter, it can be said that there is no better way than using bait to lure prey.

There is less snow in the ravines and valleys, which has become a good place for many animals to forage.

After Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng went to the mountain together to set up traps, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke walked carefully along the ice, but within ten minutes, Yuan Bao was discovered.

Following Yuan Bao's guidance, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke climbed up the hillside, and they saw the Tiaomao Cave on the hillside within a short distance.

There was a cooing sound in the hole.

This is the sound that Leaping Cat makes when it is attacked.

There are many animals that prey on jumping cats, but not many can get inside.

Lu Lu glanced around, and soon found a familiar footprint on the snow - a sable.

"It's a sable!" Lu Lu whispered to Zhao Yongke.

Sable would go into Leaping Cat Cave to hunt Leaping Cats, and both had seen this happen.

The flexible and slender waist of the sable and the quick response make them move quite flexibly, and hunting in holes is a common method for them.

It is precisely because of this that in some places where rabbits and mice are infested, minks can also be domesticated to enter caves to hunt.

Zhao Yongke glanced at the sable footprints on the ground, nodded slightly, carefully checked the surroundings, and then pointed towards the snow.

There is another jumping cat cave entrance.He immediately rolled a snowball and blocked the hole, then continued to search around, and soon found a third hole.

It is said that the cunning rabbit has three caves, which is absolutely true.

Leaping cats build their nests underground, with staggered tunnels and multiple exits are often arranged to facilitate escape.

While Zhao Yongke was looking for other exits, Lu Lv took out a mink net and placed it at the entrance of the cave he found first.

After confirming that there was no other exit, Zhao Yongke nodded at Lu Lu, then stamped his feet back and forth on the ground, and drove the sable out through the vibration of the ground.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yongke hid on the ground, the faint cooing sound from the cave stopped abruptly. Obviously, the sable was disturbed and gave up the jumping cat.

Following Zhao Yongke's driving, it didn't take long for a sensitive figure to rush out from the entrance of the cave and crash into the mink net set up by Lu Lu.

Lu Lu rushed forward immediately, and held Yuan Bao down before he could bite.

The little thing was restless when it got into the mink net, its sharp little claws kicked and scratched wildly, and even twisted its body, turned around and bit at Lu Lu's hand.

But since Lu Lu dared to grab it with his hands, he was naturally not afraid of being bitten.

The roe deer leather gloves on the hands not only protect against the cold, but also prevent being bitten by small animals.

What's more, Lu Lu didn't give it such a chance, he pinched the sable's neck and twisted it hard, the sable's short legs were left trembling for a while.

After walking along the river valley for less than 10 minutes, I got a sable, which is a good start.

Yuan Bao, who hadn't bitten the sable, and a few puppies were still sniffing at Tiaomao's cave, digging the soil quickly.

But the soil layer was also frozen, and the Yuanbao and the others couldn't move it at all. The jumping cat in this cave had no choice but to give up.

However, since it had been bitten by a sable, and depending on the situation, it had been tossing around in the cave for a long time, the jumping cat would probably die in it too.

Anyway, there is still a big piece of meat in the hole. This is the ready-made bait. Lu Lu doesn't mind setting up a small iron clamp at the entrance of the hole. No matter if it is a sable, a yellow leather, or a red fox, as long as it steps on it, Just don't think about leaving.

When Lu Lu set up the iron clamp, Zhao Yongke took the sable.

He took the hunting knife, and skillfully peeled off the sable fur bucket, and handed the meat to Lu Lu.

Yuan Bao and the others didn't refuse to eat what was fed by Lu Lu. After a lot of training, they accepted Chen Xiuyu. As for the other people, even if they blew the meat, they only took a look at it.

Even Hei Zui, after hanging out with Yuan Bao for a while, and having been slapped by Yuan Bao several times, has developed this rare habit. Now, even Zhao Yongke, the original owner, handed him food, but he just watched helplessly. Humming a few times at most, the rebellion was thoroughly judged.

Knowing the habits of these dogs, the matter of rewarding and feeding can only be done by Lu Lu.

Lu Lu took the sable meat, took the hunting knife, divided it into six pieces, and fed them piece by piece starting from Yuanbao, and then led them to continue searching along the river.

"Guess what I found again?"

Not long after, Lu Lu saw fresh traces of animals on the snow by the river bank.

Zhao Yongke, who was on the other side, came over, looked at the rolling and sliding marks and the small paw prints running on the snow on the river bank, and said with a smile: "You are lucky, a water dog!"

Lu Lu laughed: "You can't let it go!"

The two immediately followed a series of footprints on the snow.

And at this time, on the forest road leading to Lulu Caodianzi, Jiang Mingfeng was walking towards Caodianzi with two catties of fruit and two cans.

Soon, she came out of the woods, looked at the roof on the meadow covered with thick snow, and the wooden carvings curling up from the chimney, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes: "If my dad didn't teach you how to carry a mallet, would you Such a beautiful big house built in such a short time?"

Afterwards, she calmed down, crossed the small bridge on the river, came to the gate of the fence, and shouted inside: "Sister Xiuyu, sister Xiuyu..."
