Chapter 42: Hunting in the Mountains

Li Weidong was carrying a bag and followed in the penultimate place, looking at the second uncle carrying the gun in front of him, a little envious.

In his bag, there was flour + stick noodles steamed by the second aunt overnight last night, which was the lunch of their group of five.

There were two of them, he knew, at least in the memory of the original owner.

Alone, a little strange.

The other party's name is Li Zhankui, like the second uncle, he is a demobilized soldier, he just came back a few days ago, and he is 22 years old this year.

Judging from his appearance alone, the other party was slightly shorter than him, with dark skin, a shaved head, and his eyes were shining, with a fierce energy.

And along the way, he barely said anything, just silently followed at the end, his eyes kept patrolling.

In the mountains in early winter, all the plants and trees are withered, and you can see far away at a glance.

Earlier, Li Weidong saw the wild orchard halfway up the mountain, and he was a little moved.

Although he has only cultivated one field in his game farm, he has not yet planted it, so he plans to plant something else.

Fruits, on the other hand, are preferred.

From the original owner's head, the memories of the wild orchard were turned out, including apples, walnuts, persimmons, chestnuts, dates, and pear trees and peach trees.

Although it has not been cultivated, and the fruit is a little astringent, it is still a paradise for the children of the whole village.

Every year, as soon as the fruit trees bloom, I don't know how many children start to look forward to it.

It can be described as long-awaiting.

Therefore, when he first saw the wild orchard, Li Weidong had some ideas, and when he was looking for no one, he secretly went to dig up a few small saplings.

It won't be long before he can eat the fruit.

Nowadays, unless it is some local fruits, everyone can still taste them when they first come down.

Like the one in the south, it's basically just a matter of thinking, or canned food.

In particular, canned oranges are a heavy gift for relatives during the New Year.

According to Li Weidong's plan, in the future, in addition to various grains, an orchard will be created in the game farm, where fruits of all seasons can be eaten at any time.

It's just that at present, he hasn't even fully used the first grid, and he doesn't have the slightest clue about how to reclaim new fields.

Even, he sometimes wonders, in the game farm, can energy be used to transform the field?

For example, ponds, you can raise fish, king eight, abalone, sea cucumber, crab, shrimp and other aquatic products?

Or, it can be converted into pastures to raise chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep and other animals that can eat meat.

When the time comes, it can be regarded as self-sufficiency and a small life.

Thinking about it, Li Weidong drooled a little.

It seems that if you want to lie down completely, you have to struggle for a while.

When you go back to work, you can first research how you can improve the efficiency of energy absorption.

After all, energy is the root of everything.

After entering the mountain, Li Weidong followed honestly and did not express any opinions.

Hunting is something that needs to be left to professionals.

If he is asked to set a rabbit, then there is no problem with the designation, how many children who grew up in the countryside have never done this?

But it was the first time he had ever fought a wild boar.

This thing, if you don't have a gun, you really can't do anything about it.

That thick skin, you can use a machete for nothing.

And the wild boar is very ferocious, after provoking it, it is really on, a few collisions down, and you will only be lying in bed for the rest of your life.

It is precisely because of this that only after Li Shuquan organizes the village and brings a gun can he fight wild boars.

The reason why wild boars are hunted every year is not only to add meat to each family, but also because wild boars are easy to flood when there is no limit.

When the time comes, one big one will lead seven or eight small ones, and the crops in the field will be cleaned up in one night.

In a situation where food is so precious and scarce, wild boars are guilty.

Not only wild boars, but also sparrows are one of the four famous pests, and they must be killed by all means.

I am afraid that even they never dreamed that a few decades later, they would actually become protected animals.

The big guy was walking, and suddenly, the second uncle in front raised his hand, and the small team immediately turned from movement to quiet.

The last Li Zhankui unloaded the gun from his shoulder for the first time.

In the whole team, there were two guns in total.

The second uncle has one shot, and Li Zhankui has one shot.

Both of them have experience as soldiers, and their marksmanship is far from being comparable to that of Ye Luzi.

Before being fed with a large number of bullets, it is better for ordinary people to hunt with guns than not to take them.

Li Weidong followed the direction of the second uncle's finger and saw a pheasant, which was standing vigilantly on the hillside twenty or thirty meters away.

A posture that is about to fly away at any moment.

"I'll come."

Li Haibo threw the steel drill on the ground and took out a slingshot made of a truck inner tube from his pocket.

As the first slingshot player in the village, Li Haibo even used stones that were carefully selected and polished by the river.

As for the quasi-head......

It can be said that a chopstick is set up twenty meters away, and it is said that it will be broken from where it is broken.

The beautiful daughter-in-law in his family relied on him to lure him home with sparrows and turtledoves when he was fine.

Now that he has found a pheasant, it is naturally the time for him to show his skills.

Li Weidong also played with a slingshot, but it was a little miserable.

I saw Li Haibo take a breath, use his arms hard, and the tough belt was pulled away.

Li Weidong didn't even see him make any aiming movements, and his hand was released.

The round stone pierced through the void, and at the moment when the pheasant sensed the danger and was about to flapp its wings, it hit the head.

"Fluttering."

Although the pheasant was shot in the head, it did not die immediately, but fell to the ground and struggled.

Li Haibo stepped forward quickly, stepped on the pheasant, took out a knife from his pocket, aimed it at the pheasant's neck, and began to bleed.

The pheasant looks big, but it doesn't actually weigh much, only about two catties.

But it's enough to satisfy the whole family.

"Yes, this pheasant is quite fat, let's roast it at noon."

Li Haibo touched the pheasant and said with a smile.

Although this hunt was organized by Li Shuquan, it had long been said that the prey he caught belonged to himself.

But Li Haibo has always been arrogant, and after hitting something, he often takes it out and shares it.

So his popularity in the village has always been very good.

Although some people sour him behind his back and call him stupid, in fact, this is where he is smart.

After all, in this collective era, every stitch can be a big problem.

"Blessed is it."

"Did you bring salt?"

"Don't worry, when did you go into the mountains without salt?"

Suddenly, the two discussed.

"Okay, find the wild boars first, and when you turn around, you will go to my house, there are good things."

Li Shuquan greeted him, and everyone continued to move forward.

It wasn't until I came to a col that I slowed down.

Not far away, you can also see a waterhole, and there is a stream flowing well.

"Looks like we had a bit of luck today."

Li Shuquan looked around, came to a place where there was feces, squatted down, and fiddled with a wooden stick.
