Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 342 Killing is a Gain

Chapter 342

Lu Lu suspected that Chen Xiuyu didn't come to help find bees at all, but to pick up mushrooms.

But I have to say that autumn is the best season for picking mushrooms in Xiaoxing'an Mountains.After being irrigated by rainwater and bathed in sunlight in summer, a large number of mushrooms suitable for growth are produced.

Autumn is crisp and the temperature difference between day and night begins to increase. The mushrooms are big and the meat is thick, especially the elm yellow mushroom and the round mushroom, which are fan-shaped and stacked with several layers. As long as you find one, walk up to it and look down.

This is simply to tease Chen Xiuyu's excitement.

She picked a few yellow elm mushrooms at the foot of this tree, black fungus from that rotten tree, Hericium erinaceus from this tree, and a nest of hazel mushrooms from that grass shed...

Jogging forward all the way, she was so excited that she didn't cry out.

In the past few days, Huqiu knows that there are many wild things coming down the mountain, especially the news that Chen Xiuyu and the other women met Xiong Xiazi on the mountain as close as three stones, and many people who entered the mountain weighed it. At this point, there are a lot fewer people who dare to enter the mountain.

Not everyone has Chen Xiuyu's luck, and not everyone dares to tickle Xiong Xiazi and tie a bear's egg.

With fewer people entering the mountain, there will naturally be more mushrooms around.

Chen Xiuyu is in Caodianzi, but she is always thinking about the things in this large area of ​​mountains and fields in her heart. It feels like she is patrolling her own territory.

Lu Lu didn't care about her, just kept the direction as much as possible, stopped and walked around, and listened carefully to the movement among the surrounding trees.

Unfortunately, after turning over two small hills in a row, the two of them never found out.

It's all four or five miles away.

Lu Lu began to wonder if he had missed it. After all, he was estimating the direction. Although the mine bees mostly walked in a straight line when they returned with food, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not turn and divert due to the mountainous terrain.

After leaving the forest, Lu Lu was resting on the edge of the grass, and Chen Xiuyu was still walking around nearby.

Just when Lu Lu was considering whether to return to the woods to expand his search area, there was a buzzing sound passing over his head. Instinctively, he looked up and found a black spot that quickly disappeared into the trees on the opposite hillside.

Is it a mine bee?

Lu Lu was a little uncertain.

There are many larger bugs in the forest, and the sounds they make when flying are relatively low.

To be sure, he continued to look up.

After waiting for a while, there was another buzzing sound, and a black dot flew out from the opposite mountain forest.

This time, Lu Lu could see clearly that it was indeed the Thunder Bee.

Snakes have snake ways, pigs have pig ways, and mine bees have their own way.

He stood up involuntarily and looked at the opposite hillside. Not long after, he saw a returning land mine bee throwing into the opposite mountain forest.

"found it!"

This time, he clearly saw where the landmine bee landed, inserting it from the side of a big oak tree into a gap in the forest.

"where is it?"

Hearing Lu Lu's cry, Chen Xiuyu ran back with a basket on her back.

Just this way, she has picked up half a basket of mushrooms in her back basket, and they are all in excellent condition.

Lu Lu smiled at her: "Just put the things here, just go with me and have a look, you'll know, it's not far away."

After he finished speaking, he climbed up the hillside where the big oak tree was.

Chen Xiuyu put down the basket as she said, and followed carefully.

A few minutes later, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu came under the big oak tree. They didn't see the nest of the Thunder Bee, but they could already hear the sound of the Thunder Bee rising and falling.

In the forest to the left of the oak tree, follow the sound and go no more than seven or eight meters away, there are a few small shrubs in a small open space in the forest.

From a distance, the two of them could see mine bees flying out of a small bush.

When I got closer, I saw seven or eight mine bees constantly moving the soil out at the roots and feet of the bushes, and the mine bees kept coming in and out, looking very busy.

They are expanding the hive space.

Looking at the large pile of soil particles that were carried out and piled up at the entrance and exit of the hive, one could tell that the hive was not small, and there might be as many as two hundred mine bees inside.

This is a rare group.

Looking at the Thunder Bee, both of them were a little scared, not daring to get too close, for fear of disturbing the bee colony and being attacked.

Lu Lu just glanced at it, and after remembering the position, he quickly led Chen Xiuyu back.

"Brother Lu, what's the matter?"

Chen Xiuyu knew that these landmine bees had to be exterminated to catch the black bees that she raised, but where was the reputation of this thing, and now seeing this group of swarms, she was afraid just thinking about it.

If this is normal, if you see it, you will definitely avoid it.

It is not uncommon for a bee to step on a mine and be chased and stung so that its whole body is deformed.

"Come over at night and burn it with fire..." Lu Lu didn't have a good idea.

"They're hiding in the ground. Why don't they burn? If you want to burn them, you'll have to dig them open. It's at the root of the tree, so it's not easy to dig them. If you startle them, they'll come out right away!" Chen Xiuyu said a little Worry.

Hearing this, Lu Lu frowned slightly.

The swarm of thunder bees that were burnt at Zhang Guangcai Mountain last time were the hives exposed by the cannon eggs. Of course, it is easy to burn them with fire.

But now this group, if they want to use fire, they have to plan the hives to expose them. If they don't plan, they don't know how long it will take.

Planing the hive is the most dangerous thing.

As Chen Xiuyu said, as long as there is an alarm, even in the dark night, the landmine bees in the hive will immediately rush out. When it is dark, the landmine bees are flying around, and it is not easy for people to see them, and they are more likely to be stung .

He thought for a while, then sighed slightly and said, "It would be great if there was a fuse. If it's blocked, the smoke from it can easily stun these mine bees, and then just plan it..."

"Fuse? The thing used to detonate explosives?" Chen Xiuyu asked uncertainly.

"Yeah!" Lulu nodded.

"I know who has it!" Chen Xiuyu laughed.

"Who has it?" Lu Lu asked quickly.

He originally planned to ask Zhang Shaofeng, as the director of public security, he was in charge of such a group of militiamen, as well as the guns and ammunition distributed, he might have them somewhere.

But at this time, explosives are rarely used in the militia.

Using fuses to index explosives is more used in quarries, mines and other places.

Now that Chen Xiuyu said that someone had it, Lu Lu was of course pleasantly surprised. It would be convenient to ask for it directly, or buy some for a little money.

"Liu Bao... he must have!"

Chen Xiuyu smiled and said, "He used to work in the coal mine over there in Hegang, and he brought back some explosives. In the winter of the year before last, he even used explosives to blow up the blind man squatting in the sky."

"Blind Xiong who used explosives to blow up the skycup..."

Liu Bao was known by Lu Lu and was also a member of the militia. He was about the same age as Chen Xiuqing, and happened to be one of the militia brothers that Lu Lu knew well.

Lu Lu is not surprised at the operation of using dynamite to blow up wild animals. In these years, there are many people who use dynamite to blow up wild boars, big paws, and blind bears.

It's just that this operation is a bit embarrassing!

It's not that there is no way, the key is that this thing is more dangerous, and often after the prey is blown up, what good is there?

"The year before last, he heard that a blind man was found squatting in a warehouse in the mountains, so he made an appointment with two people from the village, brought a chainsaw, and searched for it together. When he got to the mountain, he also found the big tree hole, and saw that there was frost at the hole. Know that Xiong Xiazi is still in the tree hole.

Together, the three of them thought about throwing explosives into the tree hole, and the blind bear's buttocks would be smashed. It can be sawed with a chainsaw... So I lit a barrel of dynamite and threw it into the hole.

As a result, the thrown explosives were blocked by the branches at the entrance of the cave, and instead of being thrown in, they fell to the roots of the tree. The three of them got up in fright and hid far away. After the explosion, they came back after seeing no movement. When it exploded again, Xiong Xiazi crawled out of the hole in the tree above, chased the three of them and kicked them out.

The three ran away in fright, and were chased by Xiong Xiazi for a long time. It was Xu Pao who was also going to kill the Xiong Xiazi in Huilongtun, who met and rescued him. "

Chen Xiuyu spoke with joy.

Lu Lu also wanted to laugh when he heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, he said, "It's actually a pretty good idea."

For skilled hunters, they always want to wake up the blind bear who is squatting in the warehouse and irritate it so that the bile in the body can flow back to the gallbladder. Such bear bile will be fuller and heavier, and of course it will be more valuable.

But for ordinary people, they don't think so much. Anyway, after Xiong Xiazi is killed, he can always get gallbladder. Even if the gallbladder is of poor quality and sold for less money, it is still money!

In a word, being able to kill is a kind of gain.

In terms of making money, everyone has their own tricks, so there are so many particularities.

Since Liu Bao has it, why not go to Xiushantun to ask him, there is a fuse, and it is more convenient to use.

In fact, even if there is no fuse, Lu Lu has other methods. Chen Xiuqing has a lot of gunpowder at his place for reloading. Ask him for some. When the time comes, get some newspapers and put the gunpowder on a piece of paper. Roll it up, ignite it and stuff it into the hive, it can also stun these mine bees.

It's just that such an effect is not as good as the fuse.

The main reason is that when Lu Lu wanted to stun these mine bees, he had another idea.

Make a good pitcher of mead with these mine bees.

Bee venom is a good thing, a good medicine for treating rheumatism.

In later generations, the price of the extracted bee venom is also no worse than gold.

A jar of honey wine is not cheap either.

However, taking bee venom is a very dangerous and troublesome thing, and it is not easy to operate and store under the current conditions. The key is that not many people have realized the benefits of bee venom these days, and it is not worth much.

Unlike later generations, there are people who specialize in looking for wasps, selling bee pupae, making wine, and even risking their lives for it.

Soak a can and use it once in a while, it's good for your body.

Driving mountains all year round, the body is most likely to suffer from more ailments, which must be recuperated from time to time.

The bee colony had been found, and the two did not stop along the way, and returned directly to Caodianzi.

There are also a group of Thunder Bees and a group of Sky Lei Feng that have not been found yet.

The couple once again looked for the direction and searched all the way.

This time, things didn't go so smoothly, the forest was dense, and it was difficult for Lu Lu to see anything from the top of his head.He just blindly searched in the woods along the straight line where the Thunder Bee returned to its nest.

It took a lot of time, but they still couldn't find the location of the group of mine bees. Seeing that it was already late, the two had no choice but to return home.

Dinner was simple. I warmed up the steamed bun made by Mrs. Duan and the unfinished chicken that was stewed at noon. The two ate and drank deliciously. Chen Xiuyu stayed at home and fed the lynx cubs and the flying dragons. There are also picked up mushrooms to deal with.

Lu Lv called Zhuifeng and rode to Xiushantun.

Thinking of asking Chen Xiuqing for gunpowder if he couldn't find the fuse, Lu Lu went directly to Liu Bao's house first.
