Chapter 1023: Lynx, wolf, tiger king!

~9 min read 1,639 words

When Li Long saw clearly that the yellow thing was a lynx, he had already raised his gun, habitually pulled the bolt to send a bullet into the chamber, and aimed—

Then he pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

However, that lynx was faster and more sensitive than he imagined.

When Li Long pulled the trigger, the guy abnormally pounced directly in Li Long's direction, and the bullet shot instantly at its original position.

When Li Long slightly adjusted the muzzle, preparing to make up a shot, that lynx flashed, its back half swung up, just like some soldiers returning fire, the whole body made a 180-degree turn, and while raising a piece of snow mist, it suddenly rushed to the distance!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

That lynx was extremely fast, Li Long fired several shots in a row, all hitting the snow mist it raised, and didn't hurt it at all.

The lynx's body wasn't heavy, and it didn't feel like it had sunk into the snow at all, just like flying, and soon rushed into the forest and disappeared.

Li Long was very unwilling, carrying the gun and chasing in that direction. Hunting in the morning went so smoothly, his spirit was very high.

Hunting a lynx was much more interesting than hunting a few wolves.

Of course, the lynx skin was also more expensive, which was the main reason.

The snow was very thick, but Li Long's speed running forward wasn't much slower than that lynx. When he entered the forest, in the tree bushes in front, he saw that lynx stop by the side of a large snow cedar and turn its head to look back.

Seeing Li Long coming, that lynx ran forward quickly again.

Li Long continued to chase forward. After chasing out of this forest, in the field of vision, he couldn't see the lynx's trace.

The claw prints were still there, spreading all the way on the snow, disappearing behind the hillside more than a hundred meters away.

Li Long sighed and didn't continue to chase forward. It seemed that his marksmanship was still not good enough, his prediction of the prey wasn't accurate enough, and this lynx was smart enough, not fleeing immediately after discovering the natural enemy, leading to his misjudgment.

Carrying the gun and walking back, passing through those thick snow, Li Long felt how fierce he had run just now.

From the wooden house to the forest, he had run out a channel one person wide, the kinetic energy was very large.

Returning to the room, Li Long added a few bullets to the gun, filled it up, closed the safety, and leaned against the bed.

The sky gradually darkened. Maybe he consumed some energy when running just now, Li Long felt hungry again. He heated the stir-fried wild boar meat in the pot on the stove, and then tore the half piece of naan and put it in.

When the pot was heated, he stirred the vegetables messily with a shovel. The originally solidified meat oil quickly melted and boiled with bubbles. He stirred it for a while, saw it was about the same, shoveled out half a basin, covered the stove lid, and ate it.

After eating, Li Long poured some boiling water from the thermos into the rice basin, went out to the spring to scoop some cold water, washed the basin clean, and came back to prepare to rest.

Those offals were still frozen on the snowy ground, I don't know if they could attract some prey again.

Li Long regretted again that he couldn't hit that lynx.

Returning to the room, adding some coal to the stove, Li Long didn't want to sleep yet while leaning against the bed. He searched in the room and found a novel left in the corner, I don't know when it was brought over, "Tong Lin Zhuan".

The book cover was torn off, and the back cover had also been torn, but fortunately the main content was still there and could be read.

Had read it before, didn't finish it. Didn't like it very much, but there were no other books at this time, so he lit the oil lamp and flipped through it while leaning against the head of the bed.

After reading for a while, Li Long raised his head, looked outside, and found that the sky was already dark.

Li Long stood up, walked to the window, uncovered the window paper, and looked out.

There were two blurry shadows in the field of vision moving where the offal was just placed.

Li Long was shocked. He hurriedly turned to take the gun, blew out the oil lamp by the way, then came to the window again, uncovered the window paper, and stretched the gun out.

The field of vision darkened for a moment, and then slowly saw clearly. They were two wolves, one of which was dragging a large piece of offal towards the forest, and there was another one that should be extremely hungry, directly biting the offal on the snow.

Except for the slight biting sound, there was no sound at all.

They didn't howl!

Did the wolves learn to be smart, or was it a coincidence?

Li Long looked towards the forest again. It was relatively far away, and now there was no moon, the sky wasn't bright, and he couldn't see clearly.

The offal was frozen hard, and the weight was very heavy. The wolf dragging the offal forward stopped after dragging it for twenty or thirty meters. It looked at the wolf biting the offal, and then looked at the offal by its mouth, and actually began to gnaw on it too.

Li Long was happy. He liked hitting this kind of fixed target the most.

Aiming with the gun, simulating the scene of shooting in his mind, he then quickly pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

After two shots, the two wolves fell to the ground in response.

Li Long put away the gun with satisfaction. Just as he was about to go out, he heard a long wolf howl suddenly coming from the forest.

Sure enough, there were wolves responding over there, but it was a pity that by the time Li Long went out with the gun, the wolf howl had already gone far away.

He walked quickly to the two wolves with the gun. One wolf hadn't died yet, struggling on the snow, twitching slightly. The other one had no movement at all.

Li Long quickly wiped the necks of the two wolves, and didn't forget to observe the surroundings.

It was a pity that the companions of these two wolves didn't have the courage to come over to avenge them.

Li Long shouldered his gun and carried the two wolves back to the wooden cabin.

These two wolves were quite thin, like sheep that had lost fat. It was still early, and he couldn't sleep anyway. He simply skinned the two wolves, and put the offal in a bag and placed it in the small room next door.

Prepared to continue as bait.

After handling the two wolves clean, Li Long was also tired, added some crushed coal to the stove, pressed some coal dust, and after washing his hands clean, lay on the bed to rest.

Nothing happened all night.

When he woke up the next morning, he felt it was still a bit chilly in the room. He got dressed, used the fire poker to stir the stove, and found that the fire had completely gone out.

Uncovered the stove lid, cleaned the stove chamber and stove ash, set up the stove again, and when Li Long went out, the sky outside was already bright.

He was surprised to find that the two pieces of offal that were not dragged away by the wolves yesterday had disappeared.

The snow nearby was trampled into a mess. Li Long walked over and observed carefully. There were claw prints of various animals on the ground, wolves, foxes, and it seemed there was also a lynx, just don't know if it was the one he chased yesterday.

It seemed that he slept too soundly, and these wild animals were also quite cunning, not making a sound when stealing things.

If they dragged it away, let them drag it away. Fortunately, there were still some in the small room now.

In the morning, Li Long boiled some porridge for himself and roasted half a piece of naan. The wild boar meat left yesterday was too greasy, didn't want to eat it, stir-fried a plate of pickles brought, crisp and refreshing.

After eating, Li Long tidied up the pots and pans, pressed the stove, started the jeep, and headed towards Yushanjiang's winter quarters.

Where there was vegetation, it was calm, and where the vegetation was sparse, there would be some wind-blown snow. The wind in the mountains was very cold and hard. When driving, Li Long could feel the fine snow particles blown by the wind hitting the glass window, making a subtle sound.

Although it was a clear day, the feeling was a bit strange. The wind rolled up the snow particles, smashed them down in mid-air, and sometimes even blurred people's vision.

What surprised Li Long was that Halimu and Tarihar were both at the entrance of Yushanjiang's winter quarters.

There was also a roll of wolf skin under Tarihar's feet. Li Long guessed it should be what he hunted.

The jeep stopped in front of the winter quarters. Li Long got off and greeted Tarihar and the others. Tarihar pointed to the wolf skin under his feet and said:

"This is a group of wolves I fought yesterday, there were four, but it's a pity I only hit one, and the rest ran away." ===== CHAPTER 1024 =====
