Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
A hare, two pheasants, and a pot of snake soup were far from enough for these twelve people to enjoy, but fortunately there were canned food and compressed biscuits, otherwise there would never be enough to eat.
And Michelle was stubborn, so she got an extra chicken leg from Li Qingyun, and after eating it all, she still remembered it, not to mention that she had to eat flower chicken for dinner. When she said this, she could already clearly pronounce the pronunciation of the three Chinese words "called Hua Ji".
Poor gold and copper coins, only grabbed some bones to eat, Li Qingyun pretended to be convenient, secretly took out two and a half large fish from the small space and threw them to the puppy, which made the two puppies shake their heads and tails excitedly, changing their grievances just now.
After eating this first sumptuous lunch on the mountain, they were faced with a difficult choice: should they want the meteorite on the slope of the Banyin Mountain?
Some people say it's too dangerous, while others say it's a rare opportunity, and if you miss this point, you don't know if you can find anything else. As a translator, Li Qingyun is only responsible for translation and never expresses his own opinions.
That area is indeed dangerous, and there are an unknown number of poisonous snakes guarding it, even if he forcibly ingests it in a small space, there will be missed poisonous snakes attacking him.
And this group of experts asked the snake catcher expert Qicun for advice, asking him if he dared to go down to look for meteorites, and the scientific expedition team could give him an additional bonus of 1,000 yuan, and if he could find a meteorite, the bonus could be increased by 500.
Qicun didn't think about it, so he refused: "Because I am an expert in snake catching, I know more about the danger of swarming poisonous snakes, if I lose my life, why do I need money?"
After Li Qingyun translated these words as they were, several foreign experts were suddenly in awe, and no one persuaded them anymore, and no one mentioned anything about finding this meteorite. Yes, even a low-educated hunter knows that if you don't die, you have nothing, what are they still clinging to?
Especially George, who escaped from Shekou, didn't say a word, since he saw the countless poisonous snakes, his shadow on the snake was heavier than Michelle.
Since they decided to abandon the meteorite for the time being, they had no choice but to continue on their way. George had already taken the pill, and the injuries on his body recovered quickly, there was no redness and swelling on his legs, nor did he fester, except for the wound, there was no other discomfort.
When he was moving forward, Li Qingyun secretly checked the copied photos on his mobile phone, and now the trajectory of those meteors that were about to fall was really able to calculate the approximate range of the landing point, but he needed to draw some auxiliary lines to help locate them.
The meteorite that fell this time was a bit strange and seemed to provide heat, which is why snakes like to gather near the crater. This is the conclusion that the experts deduced based on the situation just now, whether it is correct or not, we need to find the next meteorite to judge.
When I reached the top of the mountain, the mountain road began to wind, and it was clear that I was about to reach the top, but I began to circle down, along the sheep intestine path, gradually descending, the stones under my feet gradually increased, and the sound of the stream flowing, like a bell, was crisp and pleasant.
Qicun looked at the sky and said, "It's getting dark, let's cross the stream in front of us, and we can prepare to set up camp." The camp should be on a flat spot, preferably a little further from the creek. Because where there is water, there will definitely be beasts to cancel, and at night the beasts are very aggressive. This hill is a place where our hunters often come to camp, so there is a fixed camping spot, which is two miles after crossing the creek. ”
Li Qingyun translated the original words into the past.
"I can't walk anymore, and it would be nice if I could camp by the stream. "George was injured after all, he was the first person in the team who couldn't hold up, and he was supported by his teammates to get here.
Michelle was surprised by Li Qingyun, she actually walked very easily, and she didn't shout tired along the way. However, the sweat had soaked her little coat and clinged to her body, showing her plump curves even more attractively.
As soon as the gold and copper coins saw the water, they were so excited that they rolled several times in a row, then jumped up and shook their heads, splashing the water everywhere. The copper coin seemed to see a fish the size of a palm, plopped, jumped into a slightly deeper pool and fluttered wildly, but unfortunately caught nothing.
But Dahei is an experienced man, and when he passed by a brown rock, he suddenly screamed excitedly, and caught it at once, and bit a black strange fish from the stone, like a large gecko, with four legs, and a long tail like chopsticks, slimy, and slippery.
"Hey, is it a salamander? This can't be bitten, it's a protected animal. When the Chinese experts saw it, they exclaimed.
Li Qingyun smiled secretly, the king cobra eaten at noon is also a national second-class protected animal, and they ate it deliciously, without mentioning the protection of animals at all.
However, looking at the size of this strange fish, it obviously doesn't look like a baby fish, it's a little too slim, and even if it tastes good, it doesn't have a chewy head.
Qicun corrected: "It's a fir fish, which is more common in the mountains, but the real baby fish has not been encountered for many years." ”
Fir fish, also known as Qiang live fish, belongs to the small salamander family, generally only about 2o centimeters, has medicinal value, drunk to death and dried, soaking in wine can cure stomach diseases, replenish qi and blood, the main treatment of weak spleen and thinness, liver and stomach pain.
The baby fish belongs to the giant salamander family, is a protected animal, its taste is extremely delicious, it screams like a baby, wow wow scream, suddenly screams at night, can scare a lot of timid people.
The expert's eyes were not very good, and when he heard Qicun's explanation, he was suddenly a little embarrassed and didn't say anything anymore. But it was too late to say anything, because Da Hei didn't eat enough at noon, so he ate the little fir fish into his stomach in three or two clicks.
After crossing the wide stream, there was a flat area in front of it, Li Qingyun had good eyes, and actually saw two tents, the fire had just risen in front of the tents, I don't know what game was roasting, and it had already emitted a subtle fragrance.
"Wangwang!" There was still more than a mile away from the tent, and they heard the other party's hunting dogs neighing wildly, and the two hunters seemed to have brought a lot of hunting dogs, but they were not tethered, and more than a dozen dogs blocked the path at once, yelling at Li Qingyun and his party.
Not to be outdone, the gold, copper, and black coins were also at the forefront, fighting back with even more ferocious shouts.
Two men stood up beside the fire, holding shotguns in their hands, staring at Li Qingyun and them with full vigilance.
"Are there a lot of hunters entering the mountains these days?" Zhang Chaoyang asked in surprise.
"There are only more than 20 hunters in the whole Qinglong Town, although the government prohibits hunting, but the situation here is complicated, some are family traditions, and even the whole village lives on hunting, and the ban on hunting will cut off their way of life, there have been a lot of bloodshed before, and finally the town government has made a special case and applied for some hunter qualification certificates from above, which has calmed down. The village with the most hunters is Zhangqiao, and at the foot of another road into the mountain, their village has more than half of the town's hunters. ”
"Now that the government has stepped up its efforts and financial encouragement, some hunter families have successfully switched to farming, which has led to a sharp decline in professional hunters. However, in their spare time, there are still many people who go into the mountains to hunt. Particularly precious animals dare not fight, but wild prey such as pheasants, hares, wild boars, sambar deer, wild wolves and other irrelevant prey are still often hunted and sacrificed. ”
"Bears are blind in deeper mountain forests, and they generally don't go to the outer mountain areas unless they are faint from hunger. There are really faint bears, and the hunters will not be polite. At least I've seen quite a few people selling fresh black bear skins on the street. ”
Li Qingyun introduced the special situation of the local area to the members of the scientific expedition team, and Qicun walked to the front early and gestured to the hunters in front, which only the local hunters could understand. The guard was quickly lifted and the dog barked back.
"The two eldest brothers of the Chen family, are you going up the mountain or going down the mountain? After getting closer, Li Qicun seemed to recognize them and said kind words.
"Going down! chased a half-sized wild boar, chased it too deeply, and almost got lost. Fortunately, our brothers teamed up to kill it, otherwise it would have been a big loss. The man who spoke had a beard on his face, looked at the members of the expedition team strangely, and was immediately surprised when he saw that there were foreigners. Especially when I saw the charming and beautiful Michelle, my eyes were straight.
Another hunter proudly pointed to the bound boar, with its front legs tied together, its hind legs tied together, and a large wooden stick stuck in the middle, and they carried the boar all the way.
Next to the wild boar, a few pheasants and hares are tied with ropes, this small game is the most common, and experienced hunters never enter the mountains empty-handed, because of the abundance of hares and pheasants.
Li Qingyun frowned a little, he, a layman, knew that wild boars were litters and litters, and this half-sized wild boar must have other companions nearby, these guys with simple heads but some grudges might come out of nowhere to surprise humans.
The vital point of the wild boar is in the heart, and the hunter can only shoot when he stands in front of the side of the wild boar, and if the wild boar rushes close and does not take it down, it will be the hunter who will die. A wild boar can break a tree, and if it hits a person, the end is absolutely miserable.
With the light of these two enthusiastic hunters, they didn't have to hunt game for dinner, they ate the game they barbecued, and the captain of the expedition gave them a few boxes of canned food and compressed biscuits, which was an exchange.
The food prepared by the entire expedition team was only seven days' supply, and even if they were supplemented with game, they should consider returning when they went to the fourth day.
The dinner was equally rich, with four fat hares roasted and two chickens called flowers. It's not that the hunters here like to make pheasants, but the barbecue space above is limited, and if you don't put something in the fire below, it will be wasteful.
However, the skills of these two hunters are obviously inferior to Li Qingyun, who was originally excited, after eating a few bites of Hua Chicken, she suddenly frowned, and whispered to Li Qingyun: "There is no taste, it is not delicious, even if the pheasant meat has a natural fragrance, it is also a little greasy, not as delicious as you make!"
Li Qingyun saw that she looked good, and no longer went against herself everywhere, so she opened her backpack, poked inside, and grabbed a small glass jar, which was filled with spicy pickles, and after unscrewing it, an attractive sour and spicy fragrance suddenly appeared in the greasy air.
"Tear a piece of pheasant meat, add a piece of spicy kimchi, and make sure you have an appetite to eat a whole chicken at any time!" Li Qingyun said, taking out a piece of kimchi with his own hands, mixed with hare legs, and eating it with relish.
Michelle was still hesitating, but when she saw that the other Chinese were drooling, she grabbed it without waiting for Li Qingyun to greet her, and sighed in her mouth: "Exploring into the mountains, you are actually in the mood to carry a kimchi jar, it's really a luxury......!
