Chapter 433 A roe deer plunged into the snow nest

Chapter 433 The roe deer plunged into the snow nest

Seeing Zhang Shaofeng bring the bear paws and the bear meat that can produce a lot of bear oil, Li Shumei really happily caught one of her own big stupid chickens and slaughtered under Wang Demin's call.

As for the bear's paws, it is obviously too late to get them to eat now, and it will take a lot of time to get rid of the smell.

This chicken stewed with mushrooms naturally became the main course at noon.

After a meal, the three chatted for a while, and made an appointment with Zhang Shaofeng to meet tomorrow, and he went home early.

In this kind of weather, there are horses, deer, roe deer, flying dragons, and stupid chickens to wait on, and the weather is too cold. Lu Lu also wanted to make Chen Xiuyu less troubled. Since he was at home, he should go back and share more.

It's easy to just feed the flying dragon and the stupid chicken.

But for horses, deer, and roe deer, the forage must be shortened with a guillotine. There are so many mouths to serve, and there is a lot of forage to chop, so it becomes physical work.

On weekdays, with the help of the restless Chen Xiuyu, it took more than half an hour for Lu Lu to use the guillotine, so Chen Xiuyu would have to spend more time.

Back home, Lu Lu first boiled water, soaked the bear bile and dried it in the shade, and then cut the forage grass. After more than an hour of hard work, he finally finished.

There was nothing else to do next, so he replaced his slingshot skin with a new cuff, and went out to try it out to get familiar with the feel of the new bow skin.

Considering that he didn't have many bullets left, he was going to make some.

The soil layer has been frozen long ago. When the snow is shoveled, the black soil below is frozen hard. In fact, even if the black soil layer of [-] to [-] centimeters is lifted, the yellow mud below is still frozen. Pickaxes, too, are hard to shake.

However, this is not difficult for Lu Lu, and ready-made ones can be dug in the cellar.

Covered by a grass roof and half buried in the soil, the soil in the cellar is not as frozen as outside, which is convenient.

Therefore, Lu Lu dug a lot of yellow mud. After returning to the house, he added some warm water to soften it and made it sticky. Then he squatted by the firepit and rubbed the mud balls.

I got two or three hundred more at once, and put them in a spare room to dry in the shade. I was going to wait for this time to come back from the mountain, and then calcine them with charcoal fire to make them harder.

Then, he rode on Chasing Wind again, and ran to the area to buy more hunting gear.

Compared with searching with a goal, spreading the net widely is also an excellent method, anyway, it is just for the fur.The more traps are set, the reward will naturally be much greater.

He is not going to be limited to sables and bears, red foxes, yellow-skinned dogs, raccoon dogs, snow rabbits, greyhounds, etc. are all valuable.

The hunting gear shops in the area, in winter, is undoubtedly the best time for business. Many people who have spare time want to buy some hunting gear and hurry up to go into the mountains to hunt some fur and meat.

In the cold weather, when wild animals are short of food, bait is put for trapping, even if it is near the village, there are still harvests.

For the hunting gear shops in the district, there is a special hunting gear factory in Harbin that produces hunting gear for supply. The quality is pretty good, and they often research some new hunting tools.

However, Lu Lu only selected some wooden clips, soft steel wires and some nets.

I also bought a dozen or so small animal traps, which are mainly used to deal with fur animals such as raccoon dogs and red foxes.

As for the big ones, used to hunt wild boars and blind bears, Lu Lu didn't bother to think about them.

Running to the deep mountains of [-] to [-] kilometers, or even further places to hunt wild boars, is purely looking for trouble. If you want to fight, you don’t have to run so far. Follow the trail to find a group, and fight two or three at a time. It's just fine.

As for Xiong Xiazi, in the winter, there are not many people who walk on packs, and most of them are squatting in the warehouse, which is even more unnecessary.

The key point is that the big traps are really heavy and inconvenient to carry. If they hit small animals, most of the fur will be severely damaged. If they are stepped on by other hunters entering the mountain, it will be even more harmful.

A small iron clip is enough!

After buying the hunting gear, Lu Lu glanced at the buying station, and he could clearly see that there were many more people selling mountain goods than usual, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still a long queue.

I went to the state-run store to weigh some cakes such as Luguo and Furong Cake, and canned fruits. Lu Lu rode Chasefeng and flew home all the way.

Knowing that Lu Lu wanted to rest early, Chen Xiuyu also prepared meals in advance.

When Lu Lu returned home, he had just roasted his body to warm up, and a few simple side dishes had already been served on the table.

The couple had a simple and warm meal.

After the meal, Chen Xiuyu cleaned up the dishes, and Lu Lv installed the kang stove. After the work was done, it was not dark yet, so he went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, Lu Lu was awakened by the howling cold wind outside.I put on my clothes and went to the door to see that there was heavy snow all over the sky.

Seeing the situation, Lu Lu couldn't help cursing the thief.

Preliminary estimate, tomorrow can not enter the mountain.

What was even more irritating was that for the next three days and three nights, the snow fell endlessly, big and small.

During these three days, Lu Lu, who couldn't stay idle, put on a two-meter-long wooden horse and went to the nearby mountains to practice snow paddling for three days.

The short wooden horse could sink deeply in this fluffy snow layer, and he had to change to a long wooden horse with a larger force-bearing area.

After three days, at least he could manage to steer the long wooden horse through the mountains and forests.

It was also during these three days that he watched the mountains, which were originally dark green and deep, turn white. Under the tall red pines, except for the circle close to the roots, the snow could already touch the top of a three-year-old child's head. The snow is covered with pine cones blown down by the wind. From time to time, greyhounds or chipmunks can be seen running around on the snow, taking the pine nuts from the pine cones back for storage.

How could Lu Lu miss this kind of opportunity, while practicing skiing in the mountains, he looked for opportunities to hit with a slingshot.

You don't need to look for them specially, but if you meet them every day, you can get four or five greyhounds, and occasionally get one or two jumping cats, which can be regarded as a tonic for his boring life these days.

With such a thick layer of snow, the horses struggled to walk, and Yuanbao and the others were on the snow with their bellies stuck to the snow layer, so they couldn't run at all.

Lu Lu could only wait until the snow layer settled and hardened, and the sinking would no longer be so severe.

On the fourth morning, when she was about to go out, Chen Xiuyu made a request: "Brother Lu, can you go get some roe deer back, let's make some dumplings stuffed with roe deer meat for storage."

This proposal made Lu Lu's eyes shine.

With such deep snow, it is difficult for the roe deer to forage. It has been severely cold and starved for three days. Even though it can still run well on the snow, it is no longer Lu Lu who can't catch up with the wooden horse. it's time.

Anyway, it's all about skiing, and it's a good way to chase down the roe deer.

He nodded immediately in agreement.

Even Jin Jiabao, an elderly blacksmith, had already prepared the medicine deer, let alone other people.

It's just that it's a bit difficult to get roe deer in the mountains near the village.

Although roe deer like to search for corn and corn stalks in the fields during this season, there are too many people who want to get them. This also makes these roe deer, like delivering vegetables, many of them never return.

I escaped the nooses and traps, but I couldn't resist the temptation of the medicine beans, especially when it was covered by heavy snow and it was difficult to even eat some dead grass.

It was not easy to get roe deer near the village, so Lu Lu chose to ski to the deeper mountains with a shotgun.

Several dogs came out, and Lu Lu sent them back when he saw how they were hopping and struggling in the snow.

Not too deep in the mountains, with a gun in hand, he wasn't too worried.

Alone, stepping on the pedals, crossing mountains and forests, Lu Lu spent more than half an hour, going deep into the land for more than ten miles, and began to look for traces of roe deer in the mountains.

It didn't take long, Lu Lu saw several snow troughs left by roe deer walking in the snow on the hillside.

He immediately supported his ski poles with both hands, and followed along the snow trough left by the roe deer.In about ten minutes, he saw almost half of his body buried in snow on the half slope of the mountain, struggling to eat the tip of the leafless branches of the bushes.

At this time, only the tender branches that were born in those years can be eaten.

Hearing the sound of Lu Lu's skiing, the white hairs on the buttocks of several roe deer suddenly exploded. They looked back at Lu Lu, and when Lu Lu got closer to more than ten meters, they scattered and fled in panic.

But the snow is so deep, the higher they jump, the deeper they sink in the snow.

These roe deer, which dogs usually can't catch up to, can't run fast at all when they are jumping up and down on the snow in the forest.

Lu Lu didn't even have the thought of firing a gun, so he directly chose the stronger one running down and chased after it.

The speed of skiing is far faster than that of roe deer. Unfortunately, when Lu Lu is skiing with a long wooden horse, he is very reluctant to turn.

Whenever it catches up with a roe deer and is about to catch it, it can dodge it by jumping down and changing its direction.

Lu Lu, who already had the mentality of practicing skiing, was not in a hurry, and just kept chasing the roe deer, trying to keep up with it.

Even if it was thrown off on the hillside from time to time, leaving such obvious marks, it still didn't take long for Lu Lu to fix it.

The roe deer chased by him had long been separated from the other roe deer.

After tossing like this for more than half an hour, the roe deer couldn't run any longer, so it simply plunged into the snow layer, leaving only half of its body and buttocks outside.

Lu Lu also lost the interest to continue chasing an exhausted roe deer.

He directly grabbed the roe deer's hind feet, dragged it out, pulled out the hunting knife, jumped forward, pressed it in the snow, gave it a knife, and let it bleed.

In fact, there is a disadvantage of skiing and hunting in winter, that is, the prey that can be carried is limited.

With a two-meter-long snowboard, you can probably carry half a roe deer. If it is too heavy, the wooden horse will be stuck in the snow and cannot slide.

In other words, the roe deer that Lu Lu is hunting now cannot even carry the skis on its back.

He could only take the rope from the hunting bag, tied the hind legs of the roe deer, and dragged it on the snow, which was much easier.

It had to be dragged vigorously uphill, and there was still a long way to go downhill. In the mountains and forests, Lu Lu was struggling to walk. When he returned to Mukeleng, he was already exhausted.

He could only give up the idea of ​​going out again in the afternoon.

After peeling the skin of the roe deer, he took it into the water and fed it to Yuanbao and the others. Lu Lu picked out the good meat of the roe deer, chopped it finely for Chen Xiuyu, and used it for stuffing.

He thought for a while and planned to make a sledge for himself.

Isn't there an Oroqen horse?

This is a good horse that is good at walking in the snow, but it can't be waited on in the meadow and do nothing. In a short time, I can't ride it with Chen Xiuyu in my arms, so I just let it pull the sledge, so as not to have trouble, always He thought about going to Chen Xiuqing. If he had one, it would be convenient to use.

This kind of carpentry work, of course, is to go directly to the carpenter Zuo Songling.

Building a sledge is not like playing for him.
