Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 73 Heading to Eagle Cliff

Li Dazhu said slowly.

now.

Lu Jiansheng could guess why Li Dazhu came to look for him at this time.

Goudan and Dashan are the younger generation of hunters in Kaoshan Village. Lu Jiansheng met them before when he went to Kaoshan Village. They are about the same age as Li Dazhu, and they occasionally hunt with Li Dazhu.

Although he has never been to Eagle Cliff, he has heard Li Laosan talk about it. He especially heard that there is a forest of mixed trees under Eagle Cliff. When the mountain is not closed by heavy snow, there are many wild vegetables all year round.

“For example, wild persimmons, wolfberry, jujube, pecans, and pineapples are all available, and there are also a lot of mushrooms and fungus in that place.”

In previous years, the hunters in Kaoshan Village would go to Eagle Cliff to collect mountain products, but the distance is a bit far, and the round trip would take more than half a day. When the mountains are closed by heavy snow, the hunters in Kaoshan Village don’t go there much. .

I guess Dashan and Goudan didn't expect deer and bears to come to Eagle Cliff, otherwise they wouldn't really dare to go.

Lu Jiansheng didn't know the way to Eagle Cliff either. He knew that Baichang Mountain was connected by mountains and had various branches spanning several provinces. He only knew that Eagle Cliff was located on a nearby mountain to the west.

Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but feel something in his heart. With Li Dazhu accompanying him, there was no reason not to go. Whether it was a herd of small deer or a blind bear, he was very excited. A deer could be sold for a lot of money, let alone a blind bear! The whole body is a treasure.

In this era, a piece of bear bile can be sold for at least one to two hundred yuan, and the price of bile varies from bear to bear.

Bear oil is also a precious nourishing medicinal material.

Moreover, this thing can prevent various gynecological diseases and increase the body's resistance. If you can get a golden gall, you will be rich.

Needless to say, bear paws and bear meat are better than any other oil for cooking.
  Moreover, bear meat and bear oil are much more expensive than wild boar meat when sold in state-owned restaurants in the county.

It was exactly what he thought.

Needless to say bear skin,

Bear bile is generally divided into oil bile, grass bile, iron bile, and gold bile, and the price is getting more and more expensive from low to high.

"Brother Lu, how about we go hunting at Eagle Cliff tomorrow?"

The most expensive one is gold gall. The color of gold gall is transparent, as bright as amber, tastes bitter and sweet, and its output is small. Gold is expensive. In the past, when one gram of gold was exchanged for one gram of bear bile, it was gold gall. The ancients even said: " Drink a cup of golden gall tea, and the emperor in the palace will not miss him."

Li Dazhu said excitedly.

Xiongbi, dried with tiles, ground into powder, and taken with rice wine, can cure epilepsy.

You must know that people who don't know how to hunt these days are in awe of the beasts in the mountains, let alone these hunters who have been dealing with beasts for many years.

The most expensive thing is bear bile.

Bear kneecaps, known as fake tiger bones, can cure rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis.

Therefore, bear bile ranks first among the four most valuable traditional Chinese medicines (bear bile, tiger bone, musk, and bezoar), and is known as the "gold of medicines."

Lu Jiansheng said with a smile. Unexpectedly, Li Dazhu became more and more courageous since he and he shot a leopard in the cave.

"What's wrong, Dazhu, do you want to beat the blind bear?"

In particular, bears have rough skin and thick flesh. They look clumsy, but they run very fast. If they encounter a blind bear, most hunters will not take the initiative to provoke it. If they do, it is best to deal with it before the blind bear rushes over. , otherwise it would be basically impossible to run through it.

Don’t look at those tigers and bears locked up in zoos in the future! It's not scary at all. That's because I haven't encountered it in the wild. A tiger roars! Most people's legs feel weak, not to mention that this thing is also good at sneak attacks.

"Brother Lu, how dare I hit that thing? Didn't Goudan and the others discover a herd of deer at Eagle Cliff? I wanted to go there and try my luck. Originally, I wanted to call Goudan Dashan together,
  But Goudan and Dashan don't dare to go now. Brother Lu, you are brave. Let's go together. Your gun is good. If you can hit a blind bear, you will be proud. Li Dazhu said with a smile, he only dared to say this to Lu Jiansheng, but if it were in front of Li Laosan, it would be a slap in the face.

This is simply nonsense, going to the mountains to hunt blind bears. Even if Li Laosan has been hunting for so many years, when he is in good health, he still has to call some people to make sufficient preparations.

"Yeah, that's okay."

Lu Jiansheng nodded. With him and Li Dazhu, and now Lao Hei, of course he wanted to give it a try.

Even if you can't kill the blind bear, it's still good to get a few deer.

"That's a good relationship! Brother Lu, what time will you enter the mountain tomorrow?"

"At dawn tomorrow, you will wait for me at the entrance of the village." Lu Jiansheng said.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll go back first." Li Dazhu finished speaking and was about to leave.

"Dazhu, wait a minute, is there a carpenter in your village?" Lu Jiansheng remembered that the donkey he just bought didn't have a saddle yet!
  A good donkey also needs a good saddle!
  "Yes? My third uncle hurt his leg when he went hunting in the mountains a long time ago. You see, all the tables and chairs in my house are made by him. Brother Lu, whatever you want to do, I will go back and tell my third uncle in the evening."

Li Dazhu patted his chest and said.

"Donkey Saddle! I just bought a donkey, take the money." Lu Jiansheng took out three yuan in change from his pocket.

This money should be enough!
  Lu Jiansheng couldn't help Li Dazhubai either.
  After all, without Li Dazhu last time, he wouldn't have been able to kill the wild leopard, and such a good thing! He also hoped that Li Dazhu would come to him more often.

"Brother Lu, why are you giving me the money back? I can't take it."

Li Dazhu shook his head like a rattle.

Mountain people are still honest.

Although Lu Jiansheng is not such an honest person, he still likes it. He smiled and said: "Take the big pillar, I can't let your third uncle help in vain. I don't know how much it will cost to make a donkey saddle. Without you, I'm telling you, if you have more money, give it to my aunt. Look at how many meals I've had at your house! Last time I went back, my aunt gave me a leopard's leg..."

When Li Dazhu heard this, it seemed that what Lu Jiansheng said made sense.

"Okay!!" Li Dazhu took the money and left in a hurry.

Lu Jiansheng wants to continue building donkey sheds!

Before I was busy for a while, it was time for dinner.

After a quick meal, Lu Jiansheng continued to work until dark.
  A semi-finished donkey shed with its back against the courtyard wall and exposed to the wind on three sides appeared in front of him.

"Jiansheng, forget it's dark, let's let the donkey stay in the main room first," Bai Ruoxi said, flashing a flashlight.

No way, building a donkey shed cannot be done easily in one afternoon.

"Ah."

Lu Jiansheng nodded. We have to hunt tomorrow, and the donkey shed will take only two days to complete.

We can only let him live in the main room first!

Lu Jiansheng pulled the donkey to the main room, fetched straw from Liu Fugui, and then spread the straw! Then he took Dabao and the puppies into their sleeping room.

After all, it was bad to be stepped on by a donkey at night, so Lao Hei built a doghouse out of straw! Finally got it done,
  It felt weird to let the donkey live in the main room, but I couldn't help it. There were only two adobe houses in the house, and the kitchen was too small.
