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

More and more villagers gathered outside the gate, all eager to catch a glimpse of the tiger, regardless of their fear.

Such a lively and bustling scene is probably not even as lively as the market days in Xiangyang Commune.

Moreover, this lively scene occurred on a cold winter night, late at night.

"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, you've all seen the tiger before. It's already late at night and cold, so hurry home and go to bed. If you want to see the tiger again, come back tomorrow."

"Yes, folks, everyone should go home and get some sleep. In this freezing winter, don't let yourselves get sick just to watch this spectacle."

"Folks, let's disperse."

It's already past 1 a.m.

After everyone had seen the tiger and enjoyed the excitement, Li Yunshan, Uncle Zhou, and Li Baotian stood up and shouted loudly.

Zhao Shuanzhu, Cai Er, Zhang Sange, and others carried the tiger back into the yard and put it inside the house.

Seeing that the tiger had been carried inside and there was no more excitement to be had, the villagers who had gathered outside the courtyard reluctantly dispersed and went home.

"call……"

Seeing the villagers gradually disperse, Li Yunshan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, Yunshan, we'll be going now."

Just after most of the villagers had left, Zhang Sange and the others, with sheepish smiles on their faces and somewhat embarrassed, finished speaking and left Li Yunshan's house.

Li Yunshan glanced at them and saw that their faces were rosy, and some even had beads of sweat on their foreheads. Li Yunshan then understood what was going on with them.

Before the villagers gathered around him to join in the fun, they drank a few pounds of tiger blood wine. Now, Zhang Sange and the others are probably feeling the effects of the tiger blood wine and have started setting up tents.

But with so many villagers gathered outside, someone needed to maintain order, so Zhang San and the others had no choice but to endure it.

Now that most of the villagers have left, Zhang Sange and his group are eager to go home.

I have to go home; if I don't let this fire out, I'll suffocate.

"Actually, I was also seething with anger!"

Li Yunshan glanced helplessly at the tent he had set up, then turned around and took the sheep that had been tied to a tree trunk to lure the tiger into the house.

According to their pre-arranged plan, they used the tiger's vengeful nature to lure it into a trap.

In his past life, Li Yunshan came across a short video online. It said that in the 1990s, a poacher in Russia shot and wounded a tiger and stole its food. Instead of running away, the tiger launched a premeditated revenge against the poacher.

The wounded tiger tracked the poachers to their cabin, destroyed all their belongings, and patiently lay in ambush for two days and two nights. When the poachers returned to the cabin, the tiger rushed out from its ambush, pounced on them, and killed them.

That's why Li Yunshan had this in mind, which is why he tied the sheep he bought from Old Man Wan to the yard.

Out of a desire for revenge, the tiger will surely destroy everything it sees, including the sheep it has tied up.

And as long as a tiger appears, the sheep will definitely be afraid because of its power.

When a sheep is scared, it will bleat.

So they hid inside the house, and when they heard the sheep bleating in the yard, they immediately concentrated their fire and shot the tiger to death.

Of course, just as knives and guns have no eyes, so do bullets.

In that dark environment, they unleashed a barrage of gunfire, killing not only the tiger but also the ram, which was hit by two bullets and died.

There were so many people who came to join in the fun that he and Uncle Zhou didn't pay any attention to the ram that had suffered an undeserved misfortune.

Now that everyone had left, Li Yunshan remembered that he still had a sheep.

Although the sheep was killed by a bullet, it died while fighting a tiger, and its death was glorious.

"I'll make you into mutton soup tomorrow."

Li Yunshan carried the sheep carcass into the house and placed it next to the tiger carcass, a slight smile playing on his lips.

However, he didn't have time to deal with the heroic ram that had sacrificed itself. After washing his hands and wiping his face with a wet towel, he climbed into bed and crawled under the covers.

He barely slept last night while keeping watch on the tiger.

This morning, I was busy for a long time again because a tiger entered the village.

In the afternoon, he secretly took a nap.

Only after the tiger was executed on the spot did my tense nerves relax, and drowsiness began to creep in.

Although the tiger blood wine had amazing effects, making Li Yunshan feel a bit hot, he fell asleep soon after lying on the kang (a heated brick bed).

……

The next day.

"It was too dark last night to see clearly, but now that it's broad daylight, this tiger is truly enormous!"

"The tiger's teeth in its big mouth are really scary, like steel knives."

"Those tiger claws are terrifying. Someone just flipped one over, and it's like a bunch of barbs. If you get caught in one of those claws, you won't be able to run away."

"This tiger is so big, how many kilograms must it weigh? It's almost as big as an ox used for plowing the fields."

"Just now, Li Yunshan and Uncle Zhou brought over a large scale and weighed it; it's nearly 450 jin."

"My goodness, this tiger is really that heavy!"

"Hey, stop talking, they've started skinning the tiger and gutting it."

"..."

After the sun rises, the golden sunlight feels warm and comforting on your body.

Many villagers from Guapigou Village had breakfast early in the morning and went to Li Yunshan's house to watch the excitement.

After weighing the tiger, Li Yunshan and the others worked together to place it on the two doors that were joined together.

The task of skinning the tiger naturally fell to Li Yunshan, Uncle Zhou, and Li Baotian, with Zhao Shuanzhu, Zhang Sange, and Cai Er and a few other hunters assisting them.

Skinning a tiger is a delicate task. If an accident occurs and the quality of the tiger skin is damaged when the knife is used, affecting the selling price, then it would be a loss.

Last night, when they were lying in ambush, they fired a barrage of bullets and killed the tiger. This resulted in six or seven bullet wounds on the tiger's body, affecting its condition and selling price.

Therefore, Li Yunshan and his men were extremely careful when they were skinning the tiger. Li Baotian's hand even trembled slightly when he first started cutting, but fortunately, he did not damage the tiger skin.

Even the villagers who were standing to the side or lying on the outside of the courtyard wall watching Li Yunshan and his men skin the tiger became uneasy and nervous as Li Yunshan and his two companions raised their knives and began to skin the tiger, as if they were the ones skinning the tiger.

"My goodness, skinning a tiger is so bloody."

"Gory? You don't have to watch it."

"I noticed that Uncle Yasuda seemed a bit nervous when he made the cut; why didn't he switch to someone else?"

"Nonsense! This is skinning a tiger! Anyone would be nervous, you know. Do you think skinning a tiger is an easy job? Like plucking feathers when you kill a chicken? Only an experienced hunter has the skill to skin a tiger."

"Why was Li Yunshan so steady when he was skinning the tiger? I remember he used to be a layabout and had never hunted before. He wasn't an experienced hunter."

"Yunshan's father was an experienced hunter, and his elder brother Li Yunshi was also an experienced hunter. He may not have eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run. He learned his tiger skinning skills by watching his father and brother skin their prey."

"Hey, look, half a tiger skin has been peeled off."

Amidst the whispers and murmurs of the villagers, Li Yunshan, Uncle Zhou, and Li Baotian had already skinned half of the tiger. They stepped aside, and Cai Er, Zhang Sange, and others approached. Together, they turned the tiger over, and the three of them then began skinning the other half of the tiger.

Time passed slowly, and after Li Yunshan and the others worked hard, it wasn't until nearly noon that they managed to completely peel the tiger skin off the tiger.

"Bring the tiger skin inside, wet a towel, wring it out, and slowly and carefully wipe the dirty spots on the tiger skin."

Uncle Zhou handed the skinned tiger to Brother Zhang and gave him instructions.

"Okay, sure."

Zhang Sange took the tiger skin, called Cai Er, Zhao Shuanzhu, and Peng Youlian, and together they went into the house to clean the tiger skin.

"Let's get started and gut the tiger."

Li Baotian wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, smiled, and said.

"When you're taking out the internal organs later, be gentle and don't break the tiger's gall bladder; it's quite valuable," Li Yunshan reminded him from the side.

Tiger gallbladders can be used in medicine. The gallbladder of the tiger he hunted at Hongxing Forest Farm last time sold for a lot of money, equivalent to a year's worth of work points earned by an ordinary farmer in the village collective.

"Don't worry, I know my limits, hehe."

Uncle Zhou said confidently on Friday.

Then he switched to a sharp knife, carefully inserted it into the tiger's belly, and gently slit it open.

As Uncle Zhou moved the sharp knife in his hand, the tiger's belly began to be cut open, and its colorful internal organs were exposed to everyone's eyes.

As the tiger's internal organs were exposed to the public, a strong stench of blood filled the air, causing many villagers who had gathered to watch to cover their mouths and noses.

After completely cutting open the tiger's belly, Uncle Zhou began to reach inside and peel away the tiger's internal organs and the walls of its chest cavity bit by bit.

Next, they dismantled the tiger's bones.

Li Yunshan, Uncle Zhou, and Li Baotian worked together to slowly cut the tiger's bones and meat apart with knives.

Soon, one of the rattan baskets next to them was half full of freshly removed tiger bones, while the other rattan basket was piled high with tiger meat.
