Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 78 Picking Deer Antlers

The smell of doe's blood instantly filled the surroundings, causing the jackals behind them to bark crazily.

However, due to the power of Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu's guns, the pack of jackals did not dare to move, and they did not dare to run forward, so they could only test with crazy roars.

Seeing this, Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu immediately lifted up the buck. This buck weighed at least two hundred pounds. Originally, the two of them felt very tired carrying the two deer, but as soon as they threw the doe, their whole bodies suddenly felt relaxed.

Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu walked forward and looked back. As expected, the group of jackals couldn't stand the stimulation of the smell of blood.

As soon as their front legs left, the group of jackals ran up quickly, and then started biting at the doe's carcass.

"Damn it! What a pity, these beasts have been given the advantage."

Li Dazhu couldn't help but curse secretly as he let the doe out.

However, not all the jackals wanted to let them go. The jackal who was chasing in front wanted to catch up.

Seeing this, Lu Jiansheng shot decisively, and the two jackals were immediately scared away by his shot.

"Dad, you guessed it right."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu went over the mountains and ridges.
  They were pretty lucky and didn't encounter any danger along the way, but after all, they didn't get to Kaoshantun before dark! !

It's a little dark.

Then the group of jackals stopped chasing him.

"Auntie."

Li Dazhu said slowly.

"Jiansheng is here! Come and sit in the house. It's warming up by the fire, but it's cold outside."

Li Laosan couldn't help but cursed when he saw Li Dazhu.

"It's not easy to pull back such a big deer. Come to the house and rest. I'll make some food for you."

The two men carried the deer into the yard and placed it on the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu quickly quickened their pace!

As soon as Li Dazhu arrived home, he immediately shouted happily into the house: "Mom, Dad, I'm back."

"Dazhu! Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?" Jiang Xiuhua ran out of the room with a concerned look on her face and asked.

Jiang Xiuhua said quickly.

As soon as Lu Jiansheng walked into the room, he heard Li Laosan scolding from inside.

Lu Jiansheng gasped and said hello.

Although Li Laosan couldn't help but curse,

When we were still a mile or two away from Kaoshantun on the mountain road, it got dark.

"Mom, I'm fine. Brother Lu and I went hunting in the mountains and just came back."

"Why are you so polite to my aunt?"

They hesitated for a moment, then looked at their companions who were already eating behind them. The two jackals stopped chasing and immediately ran back to eat the meat.

Lu Jiansheng walked in front with a flashlight, Lao Hei beside him, and Big Yellow Dog and Lang Qing guarding the surroundings.

"You little brat! Where did you go? You came back so late without saying a word. Do you know that your mother is worried about you?"

Lu Jiansheng didn't refuse. He was already hungry.

He found a place to sit down.

After Jiang Xiuhua finished speaking, she came to Lu Jiansheng.

"Tired! So damn tired!"

"Brother Lu and I went hunting! We came back after hunting a sika deer."

Only then did Jiang Xiuhua see Lu Jiansheng sitting aside and the sika deer in the yard.

"You're such a tiger, wouldn't I let you go? If you encounter a blind bear, can you come back alive?"

After speaking, Jiang Xiuhua hurried into the kitchen.

As soon as Li Dazhu's voice fell, hurried footsteps came from inside the house.

About an hour later, the two finally arrived at Kaoshantun without any danger. It was already about seven o'clock in the evening.

Li Dazhu replied with a smile.

There was a fire in the house. It was obvious that Li Dazhu had not returned home, and there was nowhere for Li Laosan and his wife to sleep.

"Hit a deer? You two won't run to Eagle Cliff, right?" Li Laosan opened his mouth wide.

Although they were almost at the door of Li Dazhu's house at this time, neither of them dared to be careless.

Lu Jiansheng almost sat down on the ground.

"Dazhu, you should talk to your dad quickly. Dad is also worried about you."

Li Dazhu was obviously used to Li Laosan's scolding. Not only did he not care, but he replied proudly.

"That's troublesome, auntie."

But I still breathed a sigh of relief,

This boy shot another deer today. He was very lucky. As a hunter, his son shot a leopard a while ago and shot another deer today. This is also a matter of pride for him.

However, he also knew Li Dazhu's ability. He must be that kid Lu Jiansheng. After spending time with this kid several times, Li Laosan felt more and more that this guy was capable.

"Where's Jiansheng? Why don't you call me in? It's so cold outside."

Li Laosan said quickly.

"Finally finished scolding."

As soon as Li Laosan finished speaking, Lu Jiansheng came in on his own. He was actually outside the whole time, but he stopped participating when Li Laosan was training his son.

"Jian Sheng is here? Sit down quickly." Li Laosan immediately put on a smile.

Li Laosan's physical injuries have not healed yet, and he is still lying in bed.

"uncle."

Lu Jiansheng shouted, then briefly chatted with Li Laosan, and then he and Li Dazhu began to prepare to disembowel the deer.

In order to make it easier to disembowel the deer, the two of them lit a fire directly in the yard! The most indispensable thing in the mountains was wood, and the firelight illuminated the entire yard for a moment.

Li Dazhu was responsible for disemboweling the deer, while Lu Jiansheng was preparing to cut off the deer's antlers.

After all, this one antler is worth more than half of a deer.

Although deer whip, deer skin, deer meat, deer bones, deer sinews, deer heart, and even deer blood are all good things, especially deer whip and deer heart,

But Lu Jiansheng cannot be too greedy.
  He had already broken up with Li Dazhu just now.
  He wanted antlers, a deer leg, and a deer whip.

……

You can get deer antlers, a deer leg, and deer whip. He is already very content, after all, he accounts for the majority.

Immediately after, Lu Jiansheng started picking deer antlers.

There are generally two ways to collect deer antler: sawing and chopping.

Deer farms often use antler sawing, which means first covering the deer's eyes, then tying the qualified male deer off the ground, using a small saw to quickly cut off the antler, and finally applying medicine and oil paper before returning it to the deer enclosure.

In the wild, a common method used by hunters is to chop antler.

The operation is very simple. Just cut off the entire deer head, saw off the antler together with the skull, and scrape off the remaining meat and fascia.

In order not to delay Li Dazhu's disembowelment of the deer, Lu Jiansheng cut off the deer's head without hesitation. Then he picked up the knife, made a few strokes on the deer's head, and then started chopping along the root of the antler.

Deer antler is very tough, so you must be very careful when using a knife, otherwise if it scratches your hands or body, you will be in big trouble.

After a while, Lu Jiansheng took off the two deer antlers.

He weighed it, and it was less than one pound.

"It's estimated to be at least one hundred and fifty, but it's a pity that it's not the first generation, otherwise it would be much more expensive."

Lu Jiansheng said happily.

Just after Lu Jiansheng finished cutting, Li Dazhu also almost cut off the deer whip and legs.

Jiang Xiuhua brought two bowls of rice over.

Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu wiped their hands, then started eating with their rice in their arms.

After dinner,
  Deer legs, deer whip and deer antlers are also packed away.

It's too late! Lu Jiansheng plans to go back.

"Aunt Xiuhua, I'll go back first."

Lu Jiansheng said hello.

"No! Let's spend the night at my aunt's house tonight. The mountain roads are not safe at night."

Jiang Xiuhua said quickly.

"Yes! Brother Lu, you can sleep with me tonight."

"Uh……"

"No need, my wife and kids are still at home! If they don't see me tomorrow, they'll probably be worried to death."

Lu Jiansheng said with a smile.

"Okay then! Just wait for a while."

Jiang Xiuhua said, and asked Li Dazhu to cut about a pound of venison, and then went out with the venison.

After a while, a young man was brought.

His face is a bit dark and his body is relatively thin.

The nose was big and the neck was thick and conspicuous. Even at night, Lu Jiansheng could tell at a glance that this person was Dashan.

He also brought two hunting dogs.

When I first entered the house, I looked at the sika deer that had been torn into pieces on the ground. I couldn't help but open my mouth! ! When Aunt Xiuhua came to look for him just now, he didn't even notice what kind of meat it was.

"They really went to Eagle Cliff? They were too brave."

Dashan muttered in his heart. Now that he thought of the terror of the blind bear, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Zhuzhu, I called Dashan here. You wait until you get down from Dashan and escort Jiansheng out of the mountain together."

Jiang Xiuhua said that it was not safe in the mountains at night, but he asked Zhuzi to send Lu Jiansheng out of the mountain alone. He did not trust Zhuzi to come back alone, so she took a piece of venison just now and went to Dashan who lived next to his house.

When Lu Jiansheng saw this, of course he would not refuse.

He tried it this morning. Although there was no danger,

But it’s tiring! Need to concentrate,
  It’s much easier to have someone give it to you.

After all, there are three of them, five dogs, and three guns.

There should be no one who didn't open his eyes and dared to come and attack.

……

Walking on the mountain road back.

"Brother Lu, you are so awesome! You actually went to Eagle Cliff and shot a deer back."

Dashan said with an envious look.

He had just learned from Li Dazhu's triumphant words that the deer was shot from Eagle Cliff.

"Who told you not to come! If you come too, maybe we can get two deer home."

Li Dazhu obviously still misses the doe.

"Hey! If I had known I would have gone too."

Dashan regretted it very much, especially when he heard that Li Dazhu shot two deer at first because he could no longer lift them and threw them to jackals.

"Damn, what a waste!"

At this time, Dashan was even more unwilling than Li Dazhu. After all, Li Dazhu came to him, but it was a pity that he did not dare to go because he was afraid.

"Brother Lu, you must take me with you next time. I have found out that if you follow you, you will have meat to eat. Zhuzi was about the same as me. Now, following you, I have killed a leopard and a deer, which makes us all envious. ”

Dashan said quickly.

"Who is the same as you! I am much better than you." Li Dazhu and Dashan started to argue.

Lu Jiansheng smiled and said nothing.

Soon the three of them came out of the mountain smoothly.

Lu Jiansheng flashed a flashlight and hurriedly walked towards Liuligouzi, while Dashan and Li Dazhu also went back holding torches.

However, when he was almost home, his flashlight ran out of power.
  I use flashlights too frequently these days. This kind of metal flashlight consumes a lot of battery and cannot be recharged, so it is very expensive. Therefore, in a poor place like Liuligou Village, few families have it. He seems to remember the village chief Liu Fugui did have a handful at home, but it was assigned by his superiors before the production team was disbanded.

But this battery can last for two days as long as you bite it.

We were almost home. Although it was dark, it was not dark enough to blind us. In addition, Lu Jiansheng wanted to go home and had no intention of biting him. He turned off the flashlight and walked towards home.

It was already almost nine o'clock at night.

Fortunately, Lu Jiansheng told Bai Ruoxi yesterday that she wouldn't have to wait for him if she came home late. The two children and Bai Ruoxi were probably asleep by now.

Lu Jiansheng walked in quietly, fearing to wake the three of them.

however……
