Chapter 269: This is for your woman, not for you

Returning to the mountains again, Li Long first put the things back in Halimu's winter nest, and there was still no one there. He didn't care, after unloading the goods, he returned to his wooden house.

After putting the bicycle away, Li Long went to look at the air-dried meat hanging on the pole. A noon sun had dried the meat halfway, some flies were still circling, so he dissolved some salt water and sprinkled it on top. With salt, the flies couldn't crawl, couldn't lay maggots.

After finishing these things, he carried the gun and went to the hot spring again. Maybe pick up another leak?

Even if he couldn't pick up a leak, going to wash and soak in the hot spring was also good. After all, returning covered in smelly sweat every day, this natural hot spring had benefits if you soaked in it.

Remembering when he went to soak in the hot spring for tourism in his previous life, he heard that the water coming out of the pool was only a small half hot spring water, and most of it was boiled out of a boiler. The locals also said, a few decades ago, you could soak freely in the hot spring pool, now you could only look at it. Places with hot springs were all contracted, and if locals wanted to soak, they had to pay a high price, couldn't afford to soak.

Walking to the hot spring, he really didn't see any animals, this time Li Long didn't ambush either, directly took off his shoes and clothes and put them aside, put the gun on the clothes, within reach, and then drilled into the pool to soak.

There were more broken stones under the pool, Li Long picked up the stones while soaking, and threw them outside, unfortunately, there was no jade.

There were a few stones with golden things on them, Li Long recognized it, this was sulfur.

Seeing this, Li Long suddenly remembered something.

He remembered very clearly, the Ma River was known as the gold version and jade bottom, since jade already existed, then what about gold?

It was rumored that there was gold ore by the river here before the Qing Dynasty, and on the sandy beach by the old road of its tributary, the Mohe Canal, you could also see small golden points.

But until Li Long passed away in his previous life, he hadn't heard of any gold mines nearby, was it mined out in that era?

Thinking about these things, Li Long soaked for half an hour, feeling the skin on his hands and feet white and wrinkled due to water loss, he climbed up, wiped himself randomly with clothes, and just when he was about to put on clothes, he suddenly heard movement in the pool in front!

When Li Long looked up, a brown bear stood upright, and was also looking at him!

Li Long was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick up the gun and shoot!

He couldn't care about being naked!

The bear roared, just when it was about to pounce over here, Li Long's gun rang!

The two were less than forty meters apart, but Li Long's shot wasn't very accurate, hitting the bear's thigh.

The bear screamed, turned around, and ran!

Because he wasn't wearing clothes, Li Long wasn't used to it, and this stress response after seeing the bear also led to the gun not hitting the vital point.

At this time, the bear was running, Li Long gave another shot, missed, and the bear had already rushed into the forest.

Li Long immediately put on his clothes, held the gun, and chased after it.

Chasing to the edge of the forest, Li Long stopped. The pine forest here was quite dense, mixed with quite a few shrubs, and some tall grass, the field of vision was only ten meters.

He didn't dare to go in, if that brown bear was lying somewhere hiding, and gave him a claw after he went in, then he might be gone.

Li Long was still a bit unwilling—that was a bear!

This was the first time in this life he had seen a bear in the Tianshan Mountains!

It was just that this bear, although brown, was really not big, standing upright it was even shorter than himself.

Not living up to its name.

In his previous life, Li Long had seen a brown bear rushing from the Tianshan Mountains to the side of the highway to find food in a short video, that bear was over two meters tall, fat and strong, that thing looked scary.

This one was like a half-grown cub, or a miniature version.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, Li Long had to retreat.

He didn't even dare to turn around and walk directly, just worried that if he turned around, that guy would suddenly rush out from the forest, and then chase after him.

Retreating all the way to the pool, Li Long turned around.

Frightened, he didn't plan to stay either, after the gun rang, other animals nearby wouldn't be able to come even if they wanted to, go back.

When Li Long returned to the wooden house, the sun hadn't completely set, he saw Halimu waiting outside the wooden house.

"Why did you come over? Are you still lacking anything?" Li Long asked.

"Not lacking anymore, sent you something."

"This." Halimu said, "We have enough of everything, this, was hunted by Yushanjiang, he was mowing grass over there and didn't come over, let me send it to you. Said this is for your wife, you must keep it well."

Li Long saw the thing Halimu took out.

That was a snow leopard skin!

"This... too precious..." Li Long said, "You guys should take it to buy some necessary things, I haven't married yet, when I marry my partner later, you guys give me a sheep. By the way, the snow lotus flowers today she likes very much!"

"Haha, I gave Yushanjiang a say that you must have a girl you like." Halimu smiled, and stuffed the snow leopard skin into Li Long's hand, "How can a sheep be presentable? Just this one!"

After saying that, Halimu flipped onto his horse, raised the whip, the horse ran, and went far away.

Li Long held the snow leopard skin, shook his head helplessly. This skin was even larger than the last one, very complete, and not hard, Li Long guessed it should have been tanned.

He put the skin into the small room, went to the spring water to wash, got something to eat, and rested.

Still have to go to the hot spring early tomorrow morning.

But he couldn't sleep for a while, Halimu and the others were too good to him.

This favor, slowly repay it later.

Early the next morning, Li Long carried the gun and went to the hot spring. Yesterday he encountered a brown bear that was injured, this thing had thick skin and flesh, that wound wasn't in a vital point, it shouldn't be dead.

But he estimated it wouldn't come back either, after all, it wasn't that kind of giant size, the desire to counterattack wasn't strong.

Li Long only hoped that the gunshots last night wouldn't scare the animals so much that not one dared to come, that would be troublesome.

When he was almost at the pool, Li Long turned onto the hillside and entered the forest.

What made Li Long a bit pleasantly surprised was that when he was not far from the pool, he heard the sound of splashing water.

Li Long immediately opened the safety of the semi-automatic rifle, the bullet was already in the chamber, at this time he tried hard to maintain his body balance, and moved slowly toward the water pool.

!.

When approaching the place where he had ambushed the day before yesterday, Li Long saw three roe deer in the valley bottom below. Two were soaking in the hot spring in the pool, one was kicking water in the stream above.

The two roe deer in the pool were male and female, the one above was slightly smaller, don't know if it was a cub from this year or another female roe deer.

Li Long hesitated for a moment, and decided to set the target on the two roe deer in the water pool.

In the water, wanting to come out would take some effort, just favorable for him to kill the second one after sniping one.

He walked down slowly—walked to a place where the field of vision was slightly open, squatted down, raised the gun, and aimed at that male roe deer.

Just aimed, before shooting, that small roe deer by the side of the pool seemed to smell something, called out, and ran toward the opposite side!

Li Long immediately fired, "Peng" a shot shot into the neck of the male roe deer, his hand didn't stop, fired another shot, hit the leg of the male roe deer, and then adjusted the muzzle slightly, the female roe deer in the pool had already rushed out half of its body outside the pool, and was struggling to crawl out, Li Long immediately aimed at its head and fired two shots.

The female roe deer fell directly into the water pool.

What made Li Long a bit surprised was that the male roe deer actually didn't die, and rushed out of the pool, running toward the opposite side!

Damn it, the vitality is really strong!

Li Long carried the gun and chased after it!

He ran out of the forest, ran down the valley, couldn't care about wet shoes, waded across the stream, that male roe deer had already run into the forest.

Li Long chased closely into the forest, he was still worried that he wouldn't find it after entering the forest, fortunately, the male roe deer was injured, the speed wasn't fast, Li Long crossed several pine trees and saw it, just raised the gun, that guy crossed a tree.

Helplessly, Li Long had to continue chasing, ran out twenty or thirty meters, this male roe deer couldn't climb up anymore, seeing Li Long approaching, a thin sound came from its mouth, don't know if it was threatening or begging for mercy, but Li Long didn't understand, he raised the gun at the roe deer.

That guy also knew Li Long's move, struggled hard to crawl up, and was hit in the head by Li Long's shot, and died.

Li Long himself was also panting, this down and up, running, although the road wasn't long, the burden on the heart wasn't small.

Several minutes later, Li Long carried the roe deer down to the pool, the blood of that female roe deer had already dyed the pool red.

Li Long went to the forest to fetch the bag, packed both roe deer, hung the gun on his chest, and then carried the bag and walked back.

Walking all the way back to the wooden house, at this time the sun only revealed half a head, Li Long put the female roe deer into the small wooden house, and put the male one on the bicycle, rode it and went to find Halimu.

They came over without preparing anything, and it was impossible to eat naan every day. And it was impossible to bring cows over, at most bring some milk lumps, so Li Long's meaning was, this male roe deer had a lot of meat, so leave it for them to eat.

People are righteous, he couldn't be stingy, right?

Li Long guessed correctly, at this time Halimu was making breakfast with another young man, seeing Li Long ride the bicycle over was also a bit surprised.

"Just now I hunted two roe deer in the mountains, one for you and one for me." Li Long threw the male roe deer down in front of the winter nest, "You guys handle it, I have to rush back to handle mine."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Halimu to reply, and immediately ran back.

Today he wouldn't do anything else, just handle this meat.

When Li Long returned to the wooden house, flies had already started to surround the female roe deer.

Li Long knew, if he came back a little later, I'm afraid there would be maggots on this roe deer!

Handle it quickly!

Carried the female roe deer to the spring water, took advantage of this moment before it was completely hard, washed it, and immediately skinned and gutted it.

Li Long was still fortunate, this thing was much easier to handle than a wild boar.

More importantly, this meat was also delicious! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 270 =====
