Chapter 410: The Bear and the Wolf
Li Han sorted out the backpack, guns and ammunition, semi-automatic rifles, compared to the shotgun, the rifle has a longer range and high accuracy, of course, it is more suitable for dealing with sporting prey shotguns, and the advantage of shotguns is that sporting prey has a high probability of being hit. It's just that Li Han doesn't like shotguns very much, and besides, there are enough shotguns, and a rifle is indispensable.
The revolver is not very useful, Li Han stuffed it casually, cooked beef prepared for food, this thing is a good thing to nibble on at any time, and Li Han brought some cheese and sweets, and the space was filled with tea. drove a quad bike with a white wolf, and followed Li Han when he got up in the morning.
This time, Li Han didn't plan to take Dudu with him, when he left, the little girl had a lot of temper, and finally obediently didn't pester Li Han, but asked his father to bring the white wolf, and the white wolf could protect his father.
As soon as he said this, where could Li Han refuse, there were big grizzly bears and big wild boars at home, and the big whites, Xiaobai, the animals in the house, and even the two mice were all made a fuss. There are no worries at home, Li Han is relieved.
Coming to George Farm, here Jem is ready, a team of more than ten people.
Three pickup trucks, a crowd of people looked at the car, and Li Han took the map of the marked farm and ranch handed over by Jem. "I haven't found any of these places, and I think most of these animals have entered the pearl flower ranch. ”
There are several lakes and a few small hills on Hank's farm, which the Jem and Smith brothers visited yesterday, and there are some animal hoof prints scattered around, most of which are white-tailed deer and foxes, rabbit hoof prints, and a few bighorn sheep, and even one that may be a red deer large animal, and nothing else has been found.
This made Li Han breathe a sigh of relief, this is good, there are many people on the farm, I am really afraid of causing trouble. "These places, out of the ranch living area, have to be walked. The horse can't walk either. "There's no way around it, more than a meter of snow, even a tall horse can't do anything.
All the way along the bulldozer out of the path, straight to the pearl flower ranch, to the ranch living area almost noon, clean up some and start cooking, the rest of the people looked around, no abnormal place was found, the last wolf hoof prints were covered by heavy snow.
Li Han chiseled open the ice and made two fish, and stewed the fish soup to drink to warm up. Dealing with the strips was not a difficult task for Li Han, and it didn't take long to wash the fish and fresh tofu, plus some green vegetables and stew. The others were not very interested in fish soup, and there was no way to do it, only Li Han and Jem were two beautiful people, drinking fish heads and soaking bread. The corn cobs were frozen and cracked, and the bread could be smashed into people, and none of the people in the group were allowed to go into the house to rest.
This will walk into the snow, whether there will be a place to sleep at night, or two words. After an early meal, the car was parked in the garage, and a group of people were carrying backpacks, these materials would last for three days. Walking in the snow with a backpack is not an easy task.
Relying on the snow boots made by zuò is more or less helpful, but the snow is a paradise for the white wolf, and the snow wolf is not talking. This guy's hooves are a little different, Li Han got some of his own luggage and put it on the white wolf, and everyone else was envious. It's a pity that I am a hunting dog, not to mention carrying things, not carrying things, it is very difficult to walk, and from time to time I have to help my owner. "There is a forest in front of me, about two hundred acres of small woods, I think I will rest here tonight. ”
Li Han looked at the map and confirmed with Jem that there was a forest five miles ahead. The snow overwhelmed many of the trees, and of course some of the bushes stood stubbornly. "This shrub is nice. The Smith brothers set up the camp, and the two brothers walked around and chose a good place. A bush nearly two meters high, plus snow, more than three meters, the two brothers cut down some trees, cleared the snow on the bushes, and left about 30 centimeters.
Li Han was a little curious, what the two brothers were doing. "Han, Brother Smith intends to take advantage of this bush, you see. "The little chainsaw quickly pulled out a place in the bushes, it was quite dry, except for some small animals, little rabbits, squirrels, pheasants.
Now it was dinner, a few rabbits and pheasants were hunted, the squirrel was released, and the other animals were all driven away, and in more than an hour, the brothers took out nearly five or six square meters. Li Han bent down and walked into the shrub shed, these shrubs are not vines, no wonder they can support the snow on it. The tree trunks sawn by Li Han, Jem and others were all moved over to make a support, and if they were pulled down like this, these vines might be crushed by the snow without the support below.
The Smith brothers almost dug out about ten square meters and didn't continue, which is about the same as the snow area that the two brothers took everyone to clean, and the brothers really have a hand. Clean up the surroundings and set up a shelf out of pine wood so you don't have to fall asleep on the ground.
Li Han fought by himself, laying air cushions and moisture-proof pads, sleeping bags, and the whole was laid out, not to mention that it was quite comfortable. The snow outside the bush hut had been cleared, and Jem was boiling the snow, and the snow water was boiling in the hanging pot.
Li Han came over with a large vat, and Jem made some coffee and poured a cup for Li Han. "What the hell is the weather. "In the evening, the weather was completely cold, the wind swept the snow foam, and the knives seemed to draw people, and there was no way to walk.
This will only stay in the woods. "Jem, did you find out. Jem took a sip of his coffee and pulled out the map. "This place is not far from Mount Emir, and the avalanche place is only a hundred miles away from Mount Emir, and the movement is so great that it is very likely that animals on Mount Emir will descend the mountain, both of which are possible. ”
Jem pointed out two places, one is only ten miles away from here, this place does not belong to the pearl flower ranch, no man's land, wilderness, the state government has not clearly stipulated, Li Han bought it in his heart, this place is a small valley, the animals are frightened and run down the mountain, this place must pass. "Jem, there doesn't seem to be anyone in this place. "It's not too deserted, I think it's a private place. ”
In a private place, this is easier to do than to belong to the state government. "You can help me inquire, this place is not bad. "This land is more than 30,000 acres, and the whole is a long shape, and the valleys and hillsides are not good, barren.
Jem felt that it was too unwise to buy such land. "I don't build yì at the right price, it's not far from the Emile Mountain, and the valley is a bit similar to the alpine pastures, and I think since the farm is going to breed new breeds of cattle, this place is suitable, and the farm is more suitable for feeding beef cattle. ”
Jem reluctantly agreed to inquire first, the price, Li Han estimated it in his heart to be about five million, this place is barren, there are a few wilderness, the entire wasteland, the price is not even one-third of the price of the developed pasture.
Li Han added firewood, and the Smith brothers and the others cleaned the rabbits and pheasants, and handed the rabbits to Li Han, who didn't seem to like rabbits very much, and roasted pheasants rushed to eat. The Li Han rabbit was cut into pieces, put it in a hanging pot, and piled up with a pot of white snow and a bag of spices.
Jem was amazed to see that Li Han took some potatoes out of his back and cut them into pieces with a knife and put them in the snow. After half an hour, the fragrance came out, and the gurgling and fragrant stewed rabbit meat was good, and the bread was dipped in rabbit broth, which was delicious.
It's a pity that these guys are indifferent to the deliciousness, so they can only be enjoyed by Li Han alone, Jem tasted it and almost spit it out, and couldn't resist the authentic rabbit stew stewed with Chinese spices. This is something that can't be helped, the taste buds will adapt to a place, and will slowly integrate into the local catering culture over time, until it is integrated into the genes, and by nature, this cannot be changed. Cultural differences, differences in eating habits, taste buds have adapted to the original taste, unless deliberately forced to change.
Li Han stewed a rabbit by himself, roasted a rabbit, and finally ate a round belly. "Let's go, turn around. Li Han ate a lot, and when it was not completely dark, he turned around a group, and the woods made a squeaky sound, and from time to time there was a sound of trees breaking.
Li Han and his entourage didn't do anything careless, and they didn't leave the camp too much, and Li Han patted the white wolf. "Everyone, be careful, there's something ahead. As soon as Li Hanyi said, everyone pulled out their guns, and as soon as something was wrong, they immediately opened fire. "Hey, good luck. ”
Bang bang a few shots, it turned out to be a bighorn sheep, not counting, fifty pounds, but everyone's face is not very good, this is a pregnant bighorn sheep. It's not a pleasant thing for cowboys to shoot a faint sheep.
It was a pity to return to the shrub snow hut, and the group was a little depressed, but they still peeled the bighorn sheep, buried the internal organs, and buried the mutton in the snow and froze overnight, and cleaned up the surroundings. Traps were set up, fires were burned, squeaky pines burned, and snowflakes in the kettle slowly melted into water.
In the shrub snow house, after a tired day, they shrank into sleeping bags, and when they got up early in the morning, Li Han shook his head and had an accident. When I looked up, I saw that the supporting stick was upside down and slanted. "What's going on?" "It's snowing at night. ”
Jem pointed to it, and Li Han looked at it. "Are you all right?" "It's okay, Han, let's tidy up, we can't stay here." Jem helped pack his backpack, and Li Han came out of the bush snow hut, the snow last night was not heavy, and it was even much lighter than usual.
There is no water here, so I can only boil some snow, wipe my face slightly, brush my teeth, nibble on a few mouthfuls of mutton, and drink a glass of water, which is considered breakfast. "It's going to be snowing, and you can't see the road clearly. Jem looked at the map, and the snow was not heavy, but it obscured his vision.
The woods turned around and saw two bighorn sheep, which they didn't see last night. Li Han didn't speak all the way, he hit a pregnant ewe yesterday, and he was not interested in seeing the bighorn sheep.
I walked out of the woods and walked for nearly half a day. "Han, come and see, this hoof print. The Smith brothers beckoned to Li Han, the hillside was messy with footprints, this snow was all over, Li Han recognized that there were red deer foot prints, bighorn sheep's hoof prints.
Li Han didn't know much about the other footprints, some of them looked like canine footprints, squatting down, Li Han was stunned for a moment. "Grizzly Bear?" (To be continued......
