Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

The wine was good, and the dishes were excellent, truly impressive.

After pouring wine for Liang Lao, Li Yunshan, and Li Yunshi, Director Zhou poured himself a glass as well.

"Let me try Xiao Li's cooking."

Old Liang picked up a piece of dry-pot rabbit meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

After chewing a few times, his eyes lit up: "Xiao Li, your cooking skills are not bad. Although they can't compare to the head chef in our unit's canteen, they are still quite good. If you were to take the cook exam, getting an eighth-level cook or a seventh-level cook shouldn't be a problem."

"I was just guessing."

Li Yunshan said modestly.

In fact, in his previous life, after he suddenly realized his mistakes, he worked in many different professions.

I've worked as a street vendor, a factory worker, and even a kitchen helper in a restaurant for a while.

He usually assisted the head chef in the restaurant, learning a lot by doing so.

This dry-pot rabbit dish is one I learned by secretly copying a recipe.

However, in his previous life, when he worked odd jobs at a restaurant, the head chef used farmed rabbits to make dry-pot rabbit, but now he uses wild rabbits.

In terms of ingredients, wild rabbit meat tastes better than domesticated rabbit meat.

With Li Yunshan's meticulous cooking, it's no wonder that Old Liang's eyes lit up after taking a bite.

"It's quite remarkable that you could come up with such a delicious dry-pot rabbit dish just by thinking about it," Old Liang praised, then raised his glass: "Come on, let's all have a drink."

"Dry."

Li Yunshan and the others raised their glasses, clinked them together, and then drank them down in one gulp.

"This chicken stew with mushrooms is also good. The mushrooms are fresh and fragrant, and the soup is rich and flavorful, which makes one's appetite soar."

"And this braised roe deer meat is so tender and flavorful, it melts in your mouth..."

While eating, Mr. Liang offered his comments.

Soon, after several rounds of drinks and dishes, the five bottles of Moutai were empty, and Old Liang's face was flushed and he was a little dizzy.

Li Yunshan and the other two were also flushed from drinking, but being younger, they fared better than Old Liang.

"Mr. Liang, let me help you back."

Seeing that he had drunk enough, Director Zhou took the initiative to help Old Liang back to his dormitory to rest.

"Zhou Qing, tomorrow you should gather a few people and come with us into the mountains."

"Should we call a few men to go into the mountains? Old Liang, are you going hunting tomorrow?"

Mr. Liang's dormitory is right next door, just a few steps away.

After helping Mr. Liang to his dormitory, Director Zhou helped him lie down and thoughtfully covered him with a quilt, tucking the corners of the quilt in.

However, Old Liang, who had just lain down, spoke up at this moment.

His words left Director Zhou somewhat puzzled.

"No, it wasn't hunting. When Xiao Li and I went hunting in the forest today, we not only caught the game we brought back, but there were also more than twenty wolf carcasses lying in the forest a few miles away from here."

"Tomorrow, gather a few more men and come with us to retrieve those wolf carcasses."

After finishing his speech, Old Liang finally succumbed to the effects of the alcohol, closed his hazy eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

"The corpses of more than twenty wolves!"

Looking at Old Liang, who was already lying down and fast asleep, Director Zhou couldn't help but be surprised when he recalled what Old Liang had just said.

If only one or two, or three to five wolves appeared in the forest area of ​​Hongxing Forest Farm, he wouldn't care so much, because that number of wolves would pose a limited threat to the forest area.

If a lumberjack or forest ranger encounters them, as long as they have a stick, chainsaw, or other tools, they are not afraid of three or five wolves at all.

But if the lumberjacks or forest rangers with sticks and chainsaws encountered a pack of twenty or more wolves, the consequences... Director Zhou dared not imagine.

Because the sense of oppression and intimidation brought by twenty-odd wolves is incomparable to that of three or five wolves.

More than twenty wolves appeared in the forest area of ​​Hongxing Forest Farm. If they were to accidentally encounter a forest farm worker who was out alone, it could very well lead to a tragedy like the recent case of a man-eating tiger killing someone.

"I never expected that Mr. Liang's visit would actually help me solve a major hidden danger."

Director Zhou couldn't help but murmur.

So the next day, after Old Liang woke up and had breakfast, Director Zhou called a dozen or so forestry workers, who, carrying carrying poles and ropes and simple self-defense weapons, followed Li Yunshan and Old Liang into the mountains to collect the wolf carcasses.

The forestry workers who had been called by Director Zhou to help were somewhat bewildered when they learned that they were there to collect the bodies of wild wolves.

What?

Have wolves appeared in the forest area?

They were wiped out by the tiger-fighting hero who killed that man-eating tiger for our forest farm last time?

The forestry workers who were called to help looked at each other, some of them hardly believing it.

However, when they followed Li Yunshan and Elder Liang to the ridge where they had killed the wolf pack the day before, they were stunned to see the corpses of wolves lying haphazardly in the snow-covered ground.

"My goodness, so many wolves."

Even the dozen or so forestry workers present, who had worked in the forestry farm for so many years and had seen wolves many times, had never seen so many wolves as they had today.

Moreover, these wolves were all killed by the young man carrying a gun in front of them.

"That's really true..."

Even Director Zhou couldn't help but gape when he saw the wolf's carcasses lying haphazardly in the snow.

At the same time, he was secretly relieved that the pack of wolves hadn't run into any forestry workers working in the forest area; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Go over there, tie up these wolf carcasses, and take them all back to the farm headquarters."

After a brief moment of shock, Director Zhou waved his hand, directing a dozen or so forestry workers to prepare to take the wolf carcasses back.

But at that moment, Li Yunshan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped. He raised his hand, signaling to Director Zhou and the others not to make any rash moves: "Don't move, something's up."

The people in the forest also stopped in their tracks.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Li Yunshan pointed to the carcass of a wolf lying in the snow on the farthest ridge and said, "Look, the carcass of the wolf that we can see the farthest away has been disturbed."

"What signs of disturbance?"

Following the direction Li Yunshan pointed, Director Zhou and the others saw a wolf carcass lying on the farthest ridge, but they couldn't see any signs that it had been disturbed.

"That wolf was attacked by some other wild beast, but perhaps that beast saw us coming up the mountain and ran away or hid."

"Don't move here, stay alert, I'll go check it out."

After Li Yunshan finished speaking, he loaded a bullet and strode towards the furthest ridge, where the disturbed wolf carcass lay.

Director Zhou and the others also formed a circle back to back, their faces full of vigilance.

Li Yunshan remained vigilant as he ran towards the ridge.

When he ran to the wolf carcass on the ridge and was about to stop, he suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end.

Danger!

After his rebirth, Li Yunshan had a strong sense of danger. However, the moment he got close to the wolf's carcass, he sensed that something was wrong.

His eyes darted around rapidly.

Just then, from behind a mound of earth two or three meters high not far away, came the sound of a dead tree branch breaking.

Li Yunshan turned around abruptly, his gaze instantly locking onto the mound of earth, where a huge, dark figure appeared before him.

It turned out to be another bear.

At this moment, the bear was staring intently at Li Yunshan with its imposing eyes.

"Damn it, another bear. Looks like I really do have a knack for dealing with bears!"

Upon encountering the bear, Li Yunshan was not only unafraid, but also filled with uncontrollable excitement.

He sized up the bear that was eyeing him menacingly; it was a size larger than the bear he had fought in the village last time.

This bear is so big, it's practically a walking unit of unity!

"roar."

A bear roar suddenly echoed through the mountains. The bear, which had been eyeing Li Yunshan with predatory intent, suddenly roared and charged at him as if it had spotted prey.

Wherever the bear passed, a gust of wind filled with the stench of blood even rose up.

Seeing the bear rushing towards him, Li Yunshan was overjoyed. He quickly raised his gun, aimed at the running bear, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

As the bullet shot out, Li Yunshan quickly pulled back the bolt and chambered another bullet.

"Bang!"

Another shot.

The two bullets were fired from the gun barrel one after the other, with a time difference of less than a second.

In the distance, Director Zhou and the others, who had been cautiously forming a circle, first heard a roar of a wild beast, followed by two deafening gunshots. Their gazes instantly fell on Li Yunshan, who was standing on the ridge.

Gunshots rang out, but Li Yunshan remained standing upright, and the roars and howls of the beasts never sounded again.

Seeing this, the previously tense crowd finally felt their hearts settle down.

And in their gazes toward Li Yunshan in the distance, there was a hint of admiration.

Because, when everyone thought there was no danger around, it was Li Yunshan who was the first to sense the danger, and it was he who finally resolved the danger.

Although no one knows what kind of beast Li Yunshan just shot and killed, the thought that if it weren't for Li Yunshan, they would have rashly gone over and been ambushed by the hidden beast sends chills down the spines of Director Zhou and the others.

After a while, when they saw Li Yunshan waving at them in the distance, Director Zhou and the others walked in the direction of Li Yunshan.

"Xiao Li, what kind of prey did you catch this time?"

As they approached Li Yunshan, Old Liang couldn't help but ask.

"We killed a bear."

Li Yunshan said.

"What? A bear?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, followed by surprise.

"This bear must have climbed up the ridge on the back of this mountain. The wolf cubs I killed yesterday were almost all eaten by this bear."

Li Yunshan pointed to the faint remains of a wolf cub that could be seen in the snow and said.
