Li Long walked around, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong, he greeted Xie Yundong and rode his bicycle into the mountains. He remembered that when Halimu and Yushanjiang left, they seemed to have specifically mentioned some mountain gullies with \"specialties\". In fact, Li Long hadn't really walked around them properly until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding his bicycle to a mountain gully, he had been here twice. The first time was brought by Yushanjiang, saying there were red deer here. The second time Li Long came by himself, thinking about whether he could pick up deer antlers here, but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding the bicycle in the grass at the gully entrance, after locking it, Li Long carried the gun and felt his way into the gully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grass in the gully wasn't very dense, east-west direction. The shady mountain slope was covered with pine trees, and the lower part was grass, which was a bit damp. The northern mountain slope was covered with large patches of grass and some small shrubs, which looked thorny and not very easy to walk on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Long entered the gully with the gun, he looked carefully and found that this gully didn't go straight to the end, but had some turns. There was a stream at the bottom of the gully, the water volume wasn't large, and it appeared and disappeared from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the sun had already risen. He walked diagonally up the shady mountain slope and found that there was no sheep path here, so it should be that no herdsmen were grazing here, and thus it maintained a relatively primitive state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping in the grass step by step, holding the gun with both hands and walking forward step by step, Li Long felt at this time that he was like someone who hit the jackpot, running here to gamble on luck, which was really a bit of a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be better to stay in Xiaobaiyang Gully honestly, see who could help find the traces of prey, and just go and hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since he was here, Li Long didn't intend to give up. He walked forward step by step, and as he walked, he saw quite a few Fritillaria seedlings and Codonopsis plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't worth digging Codonopsis now, they were all empty inside, and after drying, it was just a layer of skin, but Fritillaria hadn't bloomed yet, so it was just the right time to dig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Li Long didn't look down on this little money now. After all, as a layman, he might dig for half a day and only dig one kilogram, and after drying, it would only sell for five or six yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he really found a deer and shot it down, that would be a profit of several hundred yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had taken the gun, he would do some hunter's work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring these Codonopsis and Fritillaria, including some grass mushrooms he let go, he avoided those thorny shrubs and continued to walk into the gully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gully was relatively long. When he walked close to halfway, Li Long suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was located at the turning point in the gully, just able to see the gully entrance and the gully head. The whole gully was like an uneven obtuse angle, and now Li Long was at the tip of this angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a huge red deer eating grass twenty or thirty meters below the gully head, shaking its head while eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its head had one long and one short deer antler, he didn't know the reason. This red deer looked tall and big from afar, just like a half-grown horse, no wonder it was called a red deer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This red deer looked very leisurely, strolling in the grass, nibbling on grass from time to time, seemingly not very hungry, or as if waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long measured the distance. The red deer was seventy or eighty meters away from him. He could definitely hit it at this distance, but he felt the power of the small-caliber rifle was not enough for this red deer, which was similar in size to an ox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Li Long disengaged the safety of the small-caliber rifle, pulled the bolt to chamber a round, and held the gun with both hands, slowly feeling his way over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could get closer, it would be about right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long observed the movements of the red deer while carefully feeling his way forward. He was worried that if he wasn't careful while walking, the red deer would run away, and then all his efforts would be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no road in this grass, and it was very troublesome to walk step by step. Occasionally, small thorny shrubs would snag his pants and clothes, making it impossible for Li Long to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a test of patience. Li Long carefully solved each problem one by one. Seeing that he had advanced more than twenty meters, the grass in front was a bit deep, so he planned to find a good position to shoot after passing this patch of grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he walked to that patch of deep grass, something flew out of the grass with a \"flutter\" and rushed directly to the opposite side of the mountain slope. Li Long was startled, and then he knew, it was bad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was a pheasant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't care about being careful anymore, held the gun, jumped out of the patch of grass with high legs, and sure enough, saw that the red deer had been startled, turned its head, and ran up the slope. He hurriedly half-squatted, aimed with the gun roughly, and fired!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pop! Pop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the two shots were finished, the red deer had already disappeared at the top of the slope. Li Long was still a bit unwilling, carried the gun, and ran over there. When he ran to the top of the slope panting and looked down again, he couldn't see the figure of the red deer anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the slope was a patch of deep grass, with pine forests and shrubs that weren't very dense on both sides, but it was more than enough to hide a red deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long was extremely disappointed. He looked carefully nearby and finally saw a little bit of blood on the leaves of a shrub—not blood beads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had hit it, but it shouldn't be a serious injury, so it still ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this Li Long's first failure in gun hunting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really a bit lost. When he walked back, he kicked the grass on the ground from time to time, feeling that it was still the pheasant's fault for flying up, or if he had fired earlier, he could have fired at least two more shots, and maybe it would have stayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he kicked something and kicked that thing up directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long took a look, bent down happily, and picked it up—this was a deer antler!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly half a meter long, a deer antler with four or five branches!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deer antler was quite heavy in his hand, estimated to be seven or eight kilograms. Li Long's mood improved a bit, this could be considered an unexpected joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He weighed the deer antler, engaged the safety of the gun, slung it on his back, and walked forward with a leisurely pace. As he walked, he suddenly thought of another thing—what was that pheasant doing in the deep grass?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly ran over and parted the deep grass to look for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he soon discovered a nest of pheasant eggs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These eggs were smaller than ordinary chicken eggs, both blue-white and white, and there were seven of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long happily picked up the eggs and carefully packed them into the two pockets on both sides of his clothes. At first, he thought about picking a handful of wild chives after going back and stir-frying them to eat, but thinking about the pheasant clearly hatching eggs, could he take them back and find an old hen to help hatch them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more he felt it should be possible. He walked happily towards the outside of the gully, kicking the grass from time to time as he walked, wanting to see if he could kick out another nest of eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he kicked something like a rope into the air with one foot, Li Long understood immediately that he couldn't kick anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this season, these guys had already come out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Li Long was wearing high-waisted rubber boots, and fortunately, he kicked from time to time; otherwise, he might have been bitten by an ambush!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The venom of the plateau viper was very strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Long was startled, he immediately rushed to the gully entrance, holding the gun in one hand and the deer antler in the other, running very fast. Then, when he reached the gully entrance, he felt his ribs were wet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bad, the eggs were broken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put the deer antler on the ground, carefully took out the eggs, and sure enough, one egg was broken, a little bit of egg liquid, a bit smelly—and there was a small pheasant in the middle of hatching, with a ball of egg yolk stuck to its butt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw this thing away with disgust, then grabbed a handful of dry grass from the side of the road to wipe his pocket, packed the pheasant eggs again, tied the deer antler to the bicycle, and rode back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long returned directly to the compound. After putting the deer antler away, he found a cloth bag to pack the pheasant eggs, and rode all the way back to the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the team, it was already noon. What surprised Li Long a bit was that Tao Dayong was pressing water at the pressure well in the yard. Seeing Li Long riding his bicycle back, he said with a smirk:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long is back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long hadn't talked much with Tao Dayong. He nodded, responded, stood up his bicycle, and took the pheasant eggs into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuemei was cooking. Seeing Li Long come in, she smiled and was about to speak when Li Long held up the pheasant eggs and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law, I picked up a nest of pheasant eggs in the mountains. Does our family have an old hen brooding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No..., our family's two hens both have chicks. Tie Tou's family has an old hen brooding, do you want to put them in their chicken coop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long thought for a moment and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll go over and talk about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Long came out, Tao Dayong was preparing to leave with a bucket. Looking at Li Long, he said with a smile again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long, when are you going into the mountains? How is Daqiang over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daqiang is fine, I guess he'll be back in half a month.\" After Li Long finished speaking, he went to the Lu family's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu family was also cooking. Li Long explained his intention, and Sister-in-law Lu asked with some curiosity:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pheasant eggs? What do they look like? Let me see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long took out the six pheasant eggs from the cloth bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit small... give them to me, I'll put them in the chicken coop. This hen of mine just started brooding, I was still saying there were too few eggs to brood... if they hatch, give me one, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can it be one, three. Six eggs, our two families get three each.\" Li Long said with a smile, \"If they don't hatch, don't you have to raise them at your place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, good.\" Sister-in-law Lu smiled, took the pheasant eggs with both hands, and walked to the chicken coop in the yard. Seeing someone coming, the old hen immediately made a clucking threat. Sister-in-law Lu was experienced, first held the chicken in one hand leaning against her belly, lifted the old hen with her right hand, then quickly stuffed the six eggs into the chicken coop, and then put the old hen back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, wait for them to hatch!\" Sister-in-law Lu clapped her hands, \"Long, stay for dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not eating. My sister-in-law is cooking at home, and I have to rush to the county after eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you go ahead, I won't keep you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Long left, he heard Sister-in-law Lu still saying in the room: \"Long has made something of himself...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, Li Long rested for a while. When Li Jianguo and the others went to work, he rode his bicycle to the county.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running back specifically, it was naturally not just for a few pheasants. He went to the supply and marketing cooperative and found Li Xiangqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woven more than two hundred?\" Li Xiangqian was a bit surprised, \"The movement is quite fast, so it can be finished in less than ten days, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Li Long sat in Li Xiangqian's office, drinking water with an enamel mug that said \"Serve the People\" while asking, \"Section Chief, I want to ask, it's exactly three hundred carrying poles, not one more, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A few more isn't a problem.\" Li Xiangqian waved his hand, \"A few less won't do, a few more isn't a problem. Then I'll contact the motorcade to prepare for loading—if you want to finish it in one trip, you have to prepare at least three large trucks. Your people will have to help load the trucks then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Loading is definitely no problem.\" Li Long took another sip. He remembered that in his previous life, the last time he used this enamel mug was when he went to the Southern Xinjiang scenic area to eat mug-mug meat, \"I also want to ask when the account will be settled?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the carrying poles are brought back and checked into the warehouse, it can be settled.\" Li Xiangqian said straightforwardly, \"Don't worry about this, this kind of tool is urgently needed by various units now, we won't hold up the account.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he said this, Li Long felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then Section Chief, you go ahead, I'll go first. I still have to go into the mountains today to urge them to finish as soon as possible, and the work in the village also needs to be busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I won't keep you. When you come back, we'll talk again.\" Li Xiangqian was still very satisfied with Li Long. The young man worked very solidly and was also clever. Such a person entering his one-third of an acre of land was definitely a good hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long didn't go directly back to the mountains, but went to the compound, packed up the dried Fritillaria, put them in a urea bag, carried them, and went to the acquisition station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongjun wasn't there, so Li Long did business as usual and asked the middle-aged sister behind the counter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello comrade, I'm here to sell Fritillaria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fritillaria? Which forestry team are you from?\" The sister behind the counter asked with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I'm a purchaser for the supply and marketing cooperative.\" Li Long felt that his part-time identity was really easy to use, \"These Fritillaria were collected from some people in the forestry team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sister showed a knowing smile and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, dried Fritillaria or fresh Fritillaria?\" That sister asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dried Fritillaria, you look at this goods.\" Li Long put the bag on the counter and took out a handful for the sister to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The quality is not bad, very clean, did you wash this?\" That sister asked with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I picked and selected it after digging it out.\" Li Long said, \"I'm a layman, I don't dare to mess around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite cautious. The size and color of this Fritillaria are not bad, it counts as first-class goods, thirty-seven yuan per kilogram.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long was very satisfied. After weighing it, it was more than five kilograms in total, and he sold it for one hundred and ninety-eight yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Long was naturally just exploring the way this time. Since individuals could come to sell, it meant that although the forestry team had divided the boundaries in the mountains, the acquisition station hadn't connected here and didn't prohibit individuals from digging Fritillaria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After packing the money, Li Long went to the meat canteen to buy some meat buns and took them to Xiaobaiyang Gully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next two days, Li Long ate breakfast every day, waited for a while, and if no one came to find him, he would go to Xiaobaiyang Gully and watch everyone weave carrying poles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, someone came to sell Fritillaria again. The quality of the Fritillaria was also good, and the quantity was large, more than twelve kilograms, and it was a semi-dried product, which made Li Long feel that the harvest was quite good. He collected the other party's goods at five yuan per kilogram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that for the next few days, no one came again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On April 16th, by the evening, Li Long counted three hundred and seven carrying poles. This was within expectations. He had already communicated with Li Xiangqian in the morning, and they would send a car to load them tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the ten people, Tao Daqiang wove the most, weaving forty-one by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The least was Xu Jianjun, who wove twenty-two. In short, over this month or so, everyone had a rich harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving in the evening, Li Long specifically warned Xie Yundong to be very careful at night and not let anything happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2978,"2026-06-14T06:06:39.549Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","4dfe7bfb2d779caefe6e19c56ea661b4a3b288dbf7143163f6095a70768e769b","reborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-chapter-180","reborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-chapter-178",180,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-cover.jpg"]
