Chapter 107

When Li Long rode his bicycle into the mountains again, he was surprised to find that Yushanjiang was also at Halimu's winter camp. Yushanjiang came by horse, and Li Long carefully discovered that he should have dragged a few pieces of wood over, because there was a long trace from his winter camp to here.

"Today you should follow Yushanjiang to take a look." Halimu said, "I still have some things to do here. I've told you almost everything about the areas nearby that I know, and the rest needs to be discovered by yourself."

"Do you need my help?" Li Long asked.

"No, no, no, no need, small work, a tiny bit." Halimu gestured with his finger a tiny bit and smiled.

Li Long wasn't pretentious either, put the bicycle at Halimu's place, carried the semi-automatic rifle, and followed Yushanjiang to his side.

The straight-line distance between Yushanjiang's winter camp and Halimu's here was actually at most five or six kilometers, but separated by mountain gullies, walking up and down, so it felt relatively far.

This location was to the southwest of Halimu's winter camp, deeper into the mountains. Because the terrain to the north of Yushanjiang's winter camp was quite undulating, and the mountains were either pine and cypress or shrubs, there wasn't much grassland.

"I heard from Halimu that you encountered a lone wolf today?" Yushanjiang suddenly asked, "Do you want to hunt the wolf?"

"Yes, I especially want to kill that wolf." Li Long said, "I always feel that the wolf has a grudge against me; I've encountered it several times."

"If it keeps following you, then let's set an ambush tonight, find a sheep and put it outside. If it dares to come over, we'll kill it!" Yushanjiang said.

This is setting bait?

Will the wolf be fooled?

Li Long couldn't guarantee.

"Good." He still nodded. Wandering in the mountains with a wolf that wouldn't leave, I'm afraid no one would feel at ease.

"I'll take you to a few places with wild beasts first. There are red deer appearing here." Yushanjiang grinned, led the horse, and took Li Long westward.

When they walked to a small mountain gully, Yushanjiang stopped and pointed to the stream:

"Our jade, it was picked up from here."

Li Long memorized this place.

A part of the water in this small stream was actually still flowing, and it was still steaming.

Is there a hot spring above this? Li Long walked over curiously, touched the water, and it really had some temperature!

"Above this, there is a hot spring, but the smell isn't good." Yushanjiang saw that Li Long was interested in this water and said, "However, our elders said, if you have a disease on your skin, go up and soak in it, it's beneficial."

It was a hot spring, no mistake. Li Long felt that he could come over to soak in summer, and could also bring his family over together.

Walking westward again, before entering a gully, Yushanjiang tied the horse at the mouth of the gully, then took Li Long into the gully, walked more than two hundred meters inside, and stopped his steps.

"Slow down, go over quietly, there's movement."

Li Long was rushing on his way, snorting, and didn't hear anything. Now that he heard Yushanjiang say this, he immediately stopped his steps.

This big brother Yushanjiang is also an old hunter.

Yushanjiang walked slowly inside, Li Long followed quietly behind. After walking more than ten meters, Yushanjiang stopped again and pointed forward.

Li Long walked over and stood side by side with him, and then saw a male deer with antlers standing there gnawing on shrubs far away, almost at the bottom of the gully, more than a hundred meters away from here.

The distance was a bit far, plus the shrubs here were quite tall, constantly blocking the deer's figure. Li Long took off his gun, aimed, but the male deer was constantly moving, and he felt he couldn't hit it.

He planned to walk forward. Just at this moment, a wolf howl suddenly came from the mountains again!

The male deer seemed to be struck by electricity. After hearing the wolf howl, it immediately dashed toward the mountains, and soon disappeared into the shrubbery forest, not to be seen.

Li Long was so angry he wanted to curse!

Damn it, this wolf really wouldn't leave!

"It's okay, we'll lure the wolf over with a sheep at the winter camp tonight." Yushanjiang comforted him, "As long as we kill this wolf, it will be easy for you to hunt later."

"Good." Li Long hardened his heart, he must take down this wolf, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live in peace for a year later.

Leaving this gully mouth, Yushanjiang hurried back. Fortunately, the horse at the gully mouth was fine; the wolf didn't seem to have come this way. He took Li Long to another place again, where wild boars had appeared, but judging from the traces, it was several days ago, and the snow that had been dug up had already hardened; at least the wild boars hadn't appeared again in these two days.

"Inside there, there are medicinal herbs," Yushanjiang pointed to another gully and said, "you can go take a look when the time comes. Before, Han people also came here to dig medicinal herbs, saying something about fritillaria."

Fritillaria? Then he could come take a look in April or May.

The pasture area where Yushanjiang was located had red deer, roe deer, wild boars, wolves, and big-headed sheep, but their luck today wasn't very good. Besides that red deer, they didn't encounter anything else.

The sun was about to set. Yushanjiang led the horse and took Li Long toward the winter camp, saying again that he would help Li Long kill that lone wolf tonight.

Li Long looked around. He felt that that wolf might be observing them from some mountain peak right now.

Li Xiangqian, the purchasing section chief of the supply and marketing cooperative, hung up the phone and touched his head with a worried face.

Little Huang, the purchaser in the section, looked at Li Xiangqian's worried look, leaned over and asked with a smile:

"Section Chief, what difficult problem did you run into? Tell me about it? Maybe I have a solution."

"You have a fart solution." Li Xiangqian scolded, "Don't I know your little ability?"

"Section Chief, two heads are better than one, if you don't say it, how would I know? Besides, even if I can't solve it, maybe I can find someone who can?"

!.

Li Xiangqian knew Little Huang was a busybody, good at drilling, and a good seedling for purchasing. He said:

"On the side of the regional supply and marketing cooperative, a leader wants to get antelope horns, can you get them?"

"That definitely can't be gotten, we don't have antelopes here either." Once this was mentioned, Little Huang immediately waved his hand, "Can't you buy them at the pharmacy?"

"The person wants whole ones, the pharmacy only has cut ones." Li Xiangqian shook his head, "This antelope... I'll ask Old Chen."

He picked up the phone and dialed.

"Old Chen, what good things have you received recently?"

"What good things could there be? Nothing more than deer velvet, deer antlers, and the like. You busy person, why did you think of calling me?"

"I ran into a difficult problem, wanted to find you, old brother, to learn from your experience—"

"You say." Chen Hongjun said with a smile, "If I know, I'll definitely help you."

"It's just that a leader of mine wants whole antelope horns, is there any way to get them?"

"Antelope horns? Which kind of antelope? There are many types of antelopes."

"Then which kind do you have here?" Once Li Xiangqian heard there was hope, "Tell me about it?"

"I don't have any kind." Chen Hongjun smiled.

"Then what are you saying," Li Xiangqian immediately felt discouraged, "I thought you had them."

"I don't have them, but I know where there are." Chen Hongjun's words rekindled Li Xiangqian's hope.

Where are there?
