Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 782

Chapter 780 Three Heavenly Cats
The camp is also improving day by day. Li Junge built simple toilets and bathrooms using some dry and usable wood and the pigsty pit left by the bandits.The stove pit left by the bandits was also cleaned out, and the formal kitchen was restored. Occasionally, some water could be boiled to take a bath and wipe the body.

For field workers, this is heaven.

The meals are also changed every day, and all kinds of collected ingredients can always be turned into delicious food together with the materials brought.

The products in the swamp are actually very rich, eel, loach, snail, crucian carp, quite a lot.

In the surrounding mountains and forests, bamboo rats, hares, and pheasants occasionally get caught.

But the weather on the mountain is really getting colder.

Grandpa Yu began to arrange night duty, stay in the camp, and patrol the valley during the day. He also required everyone to form a team when going out, and at least one person with a weapon followed to avoid accidents.

He intuitively felt that this place might also be the wintering area for some wild animals in Shu Mountain.

On the contrary, so far, there haven't been any beasts to harass, which makes people feel a little strange.

However, when a mountain craftsman enters the mountain, caution is the first priority, and there is no big mistake in being careful.

In the evening, the SWAT team and Li Jungeyu's grandfather and Uncle Orion usually work together in shifts, in groups of two.

That night when Li Junge and his cousin were patrolling the camp, they suddenly became alert to someone peeping on the mountain.

When I was running in the mountains the year before last, I encountered a group of red-haired dogs in the woods. This was the feeling.

But now that Wutongquan has achieved great knowledge, this feeling is more acute, and the perception distance is farther.

That thing should be on the peak at the bottom of the valley.

Li Junge pretended not to feel it, talked and laughed with his cousin, and continued to be on duty.

On the next day, Li Junge asked to stay in the camp and went to patrol the mountains to collect food.

Grandpa Yu said with a smile: "Piwa has also worked hard during this period, so today you can stay in the camp and relax. Today, you and your cousin will work together and make some delicious food when we come back."

Li Junge said with a smile: "There are good dishes at night, shredded and grilled eel, this is the specialty of our Lijiagou, and you can't see it outside."

After the three teams set off, Li Junge asked his cousin to stay behind. He held the red feathers, put his quiver on his back, and walked towards the back mountain.

Follow the ridge all the way to the top of the valley.

Here the mountains split in two and extend down to form this blessed little valley behind the Den of Bitterness.

Where he is now, he can overlook the entire valley.

There used to be an outpost here, but over time, there are only a few postholes left.

Yesterday's peeping eyes came from here.

The top of the valley is a platform where a few big rocks are piled up. Behind it is a dense pine forest. Behind the pine forest is a higher mountain of Shushan.

Li Junge checked around and found that the autumn grass had fallen marks.

Follow the traces all the way to explore, gradually approaching the edge of the pine forest.

In the pine forest, the pine needles over the years lie on the ground in a thick layer, soft and silent when stepped on.

Li Junge walked into the forest, with his back against a big tree, turned the finger on his right hand back to the position where the broad side was facing the belly of the finger, took out an arrow and held it in his hand, and began to observe the whole forest.

There is nothing unusual in the woods, only a few turtledoves are playing around.

But a vague smell made Li Junge frowned.

This is definitely the territory declaration left by the wild animal just yesterday.

With all his concentration and Wutong fist consciousness running, Li Junge began to look for clues on the ground.

Then take a step, step by step into the depths of the pine forest along the slightly deformed trampled pine needles on the ground, or the broken dead grass.

Li Junge now feels that Grandpa Yu's thinking is right. This place may really be a wintering place for animals, but it is not an ordinary animal, but an animal that ordinary animals dare not approach.

And it is not a large group of small individuals, such as jackals, but a small group of large individuals, or even independent individuals, such as leopards and black bears.

Bears are going to hibernate. If there are no caves in this area, it should be a leopard.

Or, will there be a roll?But I haven't heard of a panda channel connecting here.

Wild boars are also impossible. There is no reason for wild boars to come to this comfortable pine needle field and not lie down to rest, but there are no indentations now.

Other than that, there's nothing to worry about.

Thinking all the way, Li Junge soon came to the end of the pine forest, which was a cliff, but the canopy of the pine trees was higher than the top of the cliff, and the thick and thick pine branches were more like the rungs of a ladder.

The traces on the ground disappeared here, and there were scratched claw marks on the pine tree. This thing can go up and down the tree, it seems that it is undoubtedly a leopard.

Li Junge stowed the big bow and carried it on his back, inserted the feathered arrow back into the quiver, and began to climb the tree.

He has never seen a live leopard in Bifeng Mountain. This thing is nocturnal, and it is basically invisible during the day.

Turning up the cliff, there is a shrub, and there is a channel with relatively sparse plant growth between the shrubs.

Beast!

After looking at the time, Li Junge decided to continue exploring.

Sure enough, not far away, Li Junge found a mass of feces under a bush.

Take out one of the EDC equipment, a small steel card hanging on the eagle whistle key ring, there are many holes on it that can match various nuts, and there is a ruler on the side of the card.

The scale was too small, but it was barely enough. Li Junge set the scale up and started shooting.

After filming, after thinking about it, Li Junge took out a big plastic bag and put this ball of feces in it.

This can be regarded as destroying the scene, but it is probably a bit difficult for Academician Qu to climb the big pine tree just now.

Looking around again, Li Junge found some hairs on a clump of thorns.

The color of the hair is very special, it is purple-black, similar to the roughness of dog hair, and a little softer, purple-red in color. Li Junge also packed it in a small bag.

Looking around again, there was really nothing there, so Li Junge returned along the old road.

There is a deep ditch outside the well. Clear water flows out of the well, fills the ditch, and then slowly flows away from the outlet.

This ditch was newly opened by Li Junge, and there is a row of bamboo baskets in it with only one purpose, that is to penetrate the eel.

The eels had to be sorted out according to their size, and those of the same size were put into a basket, otherwise the big ones would eat the small ones.

Soaking the eel here is to let the eel spit out the impurities in its stomach.

He packed a few baskets of large eels into one place, and promised to prepare dishes for the inspection team tonight.

The method of fire eel is similar to that of panlong eel, but the eel used is one big and one small.

Pick out the big eel and scald it to death, wash off the solidified mucus on the surface, and put it aside to drain.

Take out an iron stick, braid the two sides with bamboo wire to make a wire grate.

Put the wire grate between the stones, and spread the charcoal fire underneath, which is a grill.

Then put the eel on top and cook.

The cooked eel is put into a plate, because only the outer meat is cooked, so you only need to gently pull the head and then pull to remove the internal organs easily.

Tear off the eel meat in strips and pieces by hand, throw away the bones, tear the eel with your hands, and burn the eel.

There are a lot of eels in the swamp, and a large pot was torn up in a short while. Li Junge put the pot on the charcoal ashes to keep warm, and then added three kinds of seasonings.

Salty and fresh shredded, served with soy sauce.

Spicy hand torn paste, served with salt, paste chili noodles, dry dipping dish made of pepper noodles.

The hand-shredded cold salad is the most particular. It should be mixed with roasted green peppers, ginger, garlic, wood pulp oil, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar, and mixed into a pot.

After Li Junge finished cooking, the team came back one after another.

Li Junge took out the plastic bag: "Academician Qu, look at this."

Academician Qu opened it and looked solemn. He asked two assistants to find a place, put on masks and gloves, and began to study.

Grandpa Yu was so embarrassed, he raised his hand and wanted to say hello to Li Junge's head, and seeing that it was almost time to eat, he gave Mr. Qu a bag of poop, this baby is too skinny to look at!

But this time I really misunderstood Li Junge. Li Junge was afraid to give it to others after eating, and he might complain that it was not fresh.

Wu and Zhang were careless: "Yes, leave a portion for them, and we will eat our own!"

This research lasted nearly three hours, and Grandpa Yu had already arranged for the night, and said to Li Junge: "You kid, have you had a good rest today? You stay up all night!"

Li Junge said: "This is no problem, leave it to me."

At this time Academician Qu came over excitedly: "Piwa, guess what we found?"

Uncle Orion said, "Is it a leopard? Or a black bear?"

Academician Qu's eyes lit up: "No matter what it is, this is definitely great news. We found macaque hair and bones in the feces. This should not be a black bear, but a large cat."

"The key is the size of this animal! Judging from the diameter of the feces, this animal is quite large. It is bigger than the South China tiger, which has not been heard for a long time, and only smaller than the Siberian tiger!"

Grandpa Yu, Uncle Orion, and Li Junge were all taken aback: "Tiger?!"

Academician Qu waved his hands and said: "It can't be a tiger. In the southwest of the tiger, there is also the possibility of Indochinese tigers appearing in Dianzhou. We suspect that it is a relatively special individual among the leopards. But anyway, there is such a large-sized leopard in Shushan. Feline activities, this is definitely great news! Where did you find out?"

Li Junge said: "It's on the top of this valley. I found it when I was patrolling the mountain today."

Grandpa Yu nodded: "I just said why there are no wild animals in this valley. Maybe this is the place where the big cat spends the winter. The Jingshan big cat is active here. Who would dare to come?"

Li Junge thought about the purple-black fur inside the bag, thought for a while and asked, "Grandpa, are there any legends or sightings in the village about a kind of purple-red cat?"

Grandpa Yu said, "A purple leopard? I've never heard of it..."

Uncle Orion said: "Why not? Isn't Mahuo the same?!"

Grandpa Yu said, "Hey! Can that thing be accurate?"

Academician Qu hurriedly pulled Grandpa Yu: "It's okay, it's okay, just listen to it."

Grandpa Yu said with a smile: "Sir, hurry up and eat, let's chat while eating."

Academician Qu and his assistants sat down to eat. Grandpa Yu made the firepit bigger and said, "It's a long story to talk about. There is an old song that said that God of Thunder in the sky originally had two cats, one male and one female. Later, the two cats ate the purple lucidum grown by Thor, and their bodies turned purple."

"Raytheon was furious. He beat them in the face with a nail board, punching holes all over their faces, and then knocked them down to the mortal world. The two cats lived here in Shushan."
