Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 698 Tiger Blood Wine Get in the car! Go home!
The roaring northwest wind gradually died down, and the huge smoke bombs it blew up exploded in the air, soon scattering silver flowers all over the ground.

In the belly of the snail shell, in this not very dense forest, everyone walked about 20 meters down the mountain at a relatively relaxed pace.

The originally relaxed atmosphere became tense because of Wang Hu's words. Xu Ning frowned suddenly and looked over, only to see that the big cat lying on its side in the snow was really moving its hind legs, but it was not struggling to get up. Instead, its legs were trembling, and the shaking was not too big, so it could be considered a cramp.

Guan Lei said: "It's normal. When we hunted wild boars before, didn't its hooves also tremble?"

Xu Ning nodded and said, "Don't be nervous, let's go down slowly."

Then, he shouted in the direction of Lao Zheng and others: "Uncle Zheng, let's go slowly, there's no need to rush now!"

"understand!"

Lao Zheng was in a very good mood. After running around in the mountains for two and a half days, he finally killed the harmful big cat. Not only did he do something for the common people, but he also fulfilled the military order he had signed.

But they all knew that even though the big cat had been captured and was lying on the ground dead, they still had to be prepared for the worst!

If it was more resistant and still had consciousness and was able to resist after being shot three times in the head, then its counterattack at the critical moment of life and death would be fatal to Xu Ning and others!
So no one dares to be careless, for fear that excessive joy may lead to tragedy.

Listening to the breeze blowing past their ears, everyone gradually walked closer to the big cat, less than three meters away.

Old Li stretched his neck to observe and said, "It was shot three times in the head. Two of them went in from the face, and one went right into the forehead."

At this moment, he and Lao Zheng both relaxed, except Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu who were looking around. They still remembered Xu Ning's instructions that they must not be careless at any time as long as they were in the mountains and must always keep an eye on their surroundings.

Lao Zheng said with a smile: "I didn't shoot the bullet in the forehead. Our angles were wrong."

Old Li reacted and gave Xu Ning a thumbs up: "Er Ning's spear skills are really good! How did you practice it?"

Xu Ning grinned and said, "It just happened."

"Humility... What should I do now?"

In terms of military quality, Xu Ning is definitely not as good as Lao Zheng and Lao Li, but when it comes to the process of beating animals, they are definitely not as good as Xu Ning, so neither of them made the decision on their own and gave the right to speak to him.

Xu Ning walked to the big cat, reached out and touched its fur, and said, "Hu Zi, bleed it, big brother, take out the rope."

"okay."

Immediately, everyone started to move, picking up knives to bleed the big cat and taking out axes to chop branches to make a sled.

Lao Zheng and Lao Li were unable to help, so they squatted in the snow, smoking cigarettes and saying, "When we get back, I'll definitely ask Lao Ma what the hell he meant."

Old Zheng tilted his head and said, "Hey, stop causing trouble. It's all good now. The work is done, and there will be bonuses and commendations at the end of the year. What else do you want? Don't waste your hard-earned money again!"

Old Li said indignantly: "I can't swallow this breath. There was no military order at the meeting. If it weren't for Old Ma's nagging, would I have done this? This is not an attack on an enemy bunker on the battlefield..."

"Come on, forget it. Do you think this job is so easy? Without Er Ning to track us down, we would die of exhaustion and still not be able to complete the task. So let's just leave it at that. I'll treat Director Yang to dinner later."

"Okay, but don't call me Lao Ma. I don't like him at all."

"..."

At this time, Wang Hu had finished bleeding. Xu Ning screwed the lid on the wine pot and said with a smile, "Three pots in total! Wouldn't this tiger blood wine make you smoke?"

"Hahaha, brother, can I have a taste?" Li Fuqiang came over and asked in a mean manner.

"Aren't you going to stop drinking?"

"Hey, your sister-in-law also lets me drink a few sips every night. This thing is very nutritious!"

Xu Long said with a smile: "When we get home, there will be nothing left, so we can just eat a few now."

"How can that be possible? This is a treasure. Besides, there is a lot of blood in the wine jug, and the smell is very strong. You will spit if you drink two sips."

Liu Daming tied the rope on the sled tightly, looked up and said, "Does this app need to be used with ginseng or something?"

"You don't need anything else, the original flavor is the best."

Wang Hu came over and asked, "Second brother, do we need to gut it?"

Xu Ning stared at the intact abdomen of the big cat and shook his head: "No need to open it. In the past, we opened up wild boars and black bears just to leave some food for it. Now that it's dead, there's no need to follow the rules."

Old Zheng nodded and said, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Erning is right. Besides, the toys in its stomach are quite valuable. Let's wait until we get home to deal with them."

"Well, Erning, your uncle Zheng and I still have the same thing to say. After we kill this big cat, we don't want any money for it. You can make your own arrangements."

Xu Ning bowed and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Zheng and Uncle Li. I will accept it."

"Hahaha, you can even write two lines of poetry. Fine! But you have to leave some of this tiger blood wine for me. I don't want much, just leave me half a pound."

Xu Ning waved his hand and said, "Half a catty is not enough. You and Uncle Zheng both have to drink a catty. But this big cat is going to be sent to the specimen museum. As for the bones, I can't make the decision. You have to choose yourselves..."

"I know. That's easy to say."

Xu Ning turned around and saw that the sled was ready, so he said, "Put it on the sled, and then we can go home."

"Brother, the bedding and other things are still in Liushugou."

"Let's go get it tomorrow. It's not convenient either way. Don't bother."

Li Fuqiang and Liu Daming pulled the sled behind the big cat. Old Zheng looked at the big cat and said, "This big cat must weigh about 400 to 500 kilograms, right?"

"Five hundred pounds is the minimum. I estimate it can reach five hundred and fifty pounds. Look at the crotch..."

Li Fuqiang muttered, "This is really fun. I don't know who will benefit from it in the future..."

Xu Ning certainly couldn't cut it off. If a male tiger lost its blue string, what difference would it have with a female tiger? The only difference was that it didn't have a placenta.

Lao Zheng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who gets the benefit, we are lucky to get some benefit, why should we be dissatisfied?"

"You must be content! Come, I'll grab your legs and pull you over there..."

Everyone worked together to push the cat onto the sled. Li Fuqiang, Xu Long and others used ropes to secure the cat. Xu Ning pried open the cat's mouth and took a look. The cat's mouth had been shattered by bullets and was almost a bloody mess.

Lao Zheng asked, "Er Ning, can you come with us to the city tomorrow? Don't you have to send it to the specimen museum?"

Xu Ning pulled the rope with little effort and replied, "Okay, then we'll leave after breakfast tomorrow. Brother, when will you and Uncle San go back?"

"We'll leave tomorrow too."

Xu Long's purpose of coming back was also to hunt the big cat. He is currently attending night school, but he is still employed, so this matter can be recorded in the files.

"Hey, I heard Dalong is attending night school? Which school is he planning to take the exam for?"

Xu Ning interrupted and said, "My brother is thinking about going to a police station..."

"Police station? That's a long time ago." Lao Li said. Lao Zheng smiled and said, "That's good too. We can put them in the city by then. Although we are not in the same system, we can still take care of them."

"Not really, Uncle Zheng, you have to talk about my brother. He doesn't study hard at all. He fishes for three days and rests for two days. How can he learn well?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go learn if you have the ability!"

Xu Ning grinned and shook his head: "I'm not taking the exam, so what's the point of me learning that?"

Lao Zheng said, "Dalong, if you want to take the exam, you have to take it seriously. Take advantage of your brain now to pass it as soon as possible, otherwise you will be in trouble in the future."

"Understood, Uncle Zheng."

They walked all the way from Snail Shell to Xima Duozi. Everyone worked together to pull the big cat weighing more than 500 kilograms. They did not feel tired. It was just a little difficult when they encountered the hillside, but no one complained.

It was already dark when we reached Ximaduozi. When the sun completely set, the mountain was suddenly pitch black. Guan Lei held up a pine torch to light the way. Wang Hu slapped his forehead and muttered that he was only concerned with holding the wine jug and forgot to take the flashlight...

It was not until after 6: that they came down the mountain from the West Peak of Ximaduozi. Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu threw down a rope and asked them to wait there. Then the two of them ran quickly towards Shuangfengling. At about half past one, car lights lit up in the distance and the roar of cars gradually increased.

After the car stopped, Xu Ning shouted at the top of his voice: "Back up! Back up again! Okay, stop first..."

Liu Daming opened the tailgate of the trunk, and Xu Ning asked Li Fuqiang to back up 20 centimeters so that the rear of the trunk was just against the hillside. Then the four of them pulled the big cat into the car using the sled.

"Get in the car! Go home!"

After hearing these four words, everyone's body and mind completely relaxed.

Guan Lei, Xu Long, Wang Hu, Liu Daming, Lao Zheng and Lao Li sat in the back car, leaning against the body of the big cat that had been dead for a long time and had been frozen stiff, feeling quite comfortable.

At this moment, Old Xu's house was brightly lit.

Xu Laonian and Wang Erli were sitting on the sofa chatting, while Liu Lizhen, Han Fengjiao, Meng Ziyan and others were all sitting in the west room chatting and doing handicrafts.

The Xu family ate very quickly these past two days, basically starting at 5:6 and clearing the table at o'clock. Xu Laonian and Wang Erli didn't have the leisure to drink, even if they wanted to drink a little, they were afraid of being scolded.

How to scold? Your son is in the mountains hunting tigers, and he is almost a tiger-killing hero, and you two still have time to drink. You are so shameless...

At this time, Yang Yusheng opened the door of the plastic shed and walked into the house, saying, "I heard the dog at home barking."

"Calling? No way, I just finished feeding you."

Hearing this, Xu Laonian stood up and walked out of the house. As soon as he stepped onto the platform, he heard a "grunting" sound coming from the doghouse. He walked closer and noticed that Huaxiong and the two yellow dogs actually tucked their tails between their legs and put their heads into the doghouse, leaving only their hind ends exposed outside.

What's going on?

Wang Erli and Yang Yusheng walked out together, frowned and looked at each other, and then they heard the roar of a car.

"Is Erning back?"

"I can't prepare for it!"

Standing on the platform and looking forward, I saw a pair of car lights emitting dazzling light.

"He's really back! Jane, your old man is back, come out to greet him quickly. If you don't come out to greet him, he'll be in trouble, right?"

In the west room, a group of old ladies put down their work upon hearing this and hurried out in slippers and cotton shoes.

"Oh, I'm back!" Meng Ziyan jumped and clapped her hands.

Wang Shujuan said with a smile: "Mom, then I will go and cook for them?"

Yang Shuhua said: "No need for you, I'll go cook two dishes."

"There's a piece of meat in the cellar. Fry some shredded potatoes for them and simmer the leftovers in the pot..."

Han Fengjiao said: "Steam two more pots of egg cakes, I'll go and prepare..."

Before seeing Xu Ning and others get off the car, the old woman had already figured out what dishes to prepare.

Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the yard, and all the dogs went back into their dens, their heads trembling and not daring to show up. Among them, the most emotionally stable ones were Blue Wolf and Black Wolf. These two dogs had seen the world and were not as timid as the three black dogs and two yellow dogs.

When Xu Ning and others got off the car one after another, Xu Laonian, Yang Yusheng and others also walked to the door.

"How is it? Did you succeed?" Xu Laonian asked in a relaxed tone.

Xu Ning curled his lips and said, "How can I come back if I didn't hit it? I must kill it!"

"Oh my god, what the hell? Where did you put it? In the back of the car? Let me take a look..."

A group of people walked to the back of the car, but it was pitch black inside and they couldn't see anything. At this time, Xu Long ran to the Jeep 212 and took out a flashlight. After the light came on, everyone could see the big cat clearly.

"Oh my god, this thing looks similar to a yellow cat, but it's a little bigger."

Liu Daming said, "Stop talking nonsense. Isn't this a little too big? A yellow cat weighs at most 10 kilograms, but this big cat weighs more than 500 kilograms!"

Wu Qiuxia rolled her eyes and said, "I am describing you. Look at you. You will argue with me when you get home."

"I'm almost starving. We only had a little food in the morning, but nothing for lunch or dinner..."

"What the hell? Didn't I bring you some dry food?" Liu Lizhen asked.

Xu Ning said: "We tracked it down as soon as we came out of the cave this morning, and then we threw away all our cloth bags and blankets. Who would have thought that we would catch a snail shell and then see it..."

Yang Shuhua said, "I'll go prepare the meal now. It will be ready in a moment."

Wang Hu put his arm around Guan Hua's shoulders and said, "Get me some water. I'm thirsty."

"There is water in the house, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Li, let's go in first."

Yang Yusheng pulled the two men's arms, and Xu Laonian said, "Well, go inside and rest for a while, the food will be ready soon."

Old Zheng said with a smile, "We're already home, no need to rush... Erning, do we still need to bring this thing to the yard?"

Xu Ning shook his head: "No, if it happens in the yard, my dog ​​will be scared to death. You guys go into the house, I'll just find a piece of cloth to cover it."

"Then you study it."

Everyone entered the house one after another. Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang, Xu Long, Wang Hu and Guan Lei wiped the blood stains on the iron sheet at the bottom of the rear compartment, then put some straw under the tiger's body, covered it with two layers of tarpaulin, and pressed the surrounding area with ice and bricks to prevent the smell from escaping.

"Go inside and change your clothes first, and don't go near the doghouse."

"know."

Their clothes are all stained with the smell of tiger. If they hang around the doghouses, it will easily stress the dogs. If one of the dogs is not scared and just tilts its head and has a heart attack, then we will be doomed.
