Chapter 368: A Hunting Tour Group?

Li Long didn't intend to go out in the morning. Lynx meat wasn't too delicious, but he was eating for the novelty. Li Long felt that there shouldn't be many people in the whole county who had eaten this meat.

After eating, he intended to tidy up this meat. A deer, a wild boar, two wolves, and a lynx—these gains were already very good. If he had to carry them back himself, these meats would take at least three trips.

Now he was just waiting for Li Junfeng and Li Junshan to come over. Li Long had a premonition that it would be in these two days.

The weather cleared up. Leaning against the south wall of the cabin and basking in the sun was quite comfortable. Li Long squinted his eyes, not looking at the light, feeling a bit drowsy.

In this day and age, basking in the sun in winter is actually a kind of enjoyment, and sometimes it's a rigid demand. After all, not everyone's firewood is very sufficient.

While Li Long was basking, he seemed to hear the sound of people talking.

He thought he was having auditory hallucinations, and then felt it was still there, climbed up and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

The sound came from the north. This time he heard it; it was Li Junshan and the others coming!

Li Long turned to the back of the cabin and saw Li Junshan and Li Junfeng far away, one on the left and one on the right in front of the horse cart, and two people behind them.

Tao Daqiang and Yang Yongqiang?

How did they come over?

Li Long was a bit puzzled, but he still greeted them.

"Uncle Without Xiao Long, it snowed heavily last night. Are you okay here?" Li Junshan asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Li Long said with a smile, "Are you worried that something happened to me, so you came over early this morning?"

"Yeah." Li Junfeng smiled, "My Uncle Jianguo said that the conditions in the mountains are harder than in the village, and he was afraid that the snow here would be heavy and something would happen, so he asked us to come over immediately."

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Li Long nodded, indicating he understood, and then looked at Tao Daqiang and Yang Yongqiang who were surrounding him, and asked:

"How did you two come over? Daqiang, how long have you been married and you're running out?"

"This isn't running very far..." Tao Daqiang smiled honestly, "Isn't this coming to find you? Brother Long, looking at you, you've eaten a lot of meat."

"That's right, now my pee smells like meat." He didn't need to hide anything when talking to them, Li Long said with a smile, "Come, let me show you my gains."

"It seems that Uncle Without Xiao Long hasn't hunted much during this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so proud." Li Junfeng said this to Yang Yongqiang. It seems that during this time, his relatives and these two young men in the team have been getting along well.

The horse cart arrived at the cabin. Li Junfeng and Li Junshan unhitched the cart, tied the horse to the wooden stake at the corner of the wall, and wiped sweat and got grass. Li Long brought warm water for it to drink. This guy was a hero, and it would have to put in a lot of effort later.

After getting it ready, Li Long opened the door of the small room and let them go in to see.

"Yo! What kind of pelt is this? It looks so beautiful?"

"That's right, a tiger isn't this small, right? Why does it look like a tiger?"

"Definitely not a tiger, you didn't see it's not even as big as a wolf pelt—speaking of which, Uncle Without Xiao Long, where did you get so many wolf pelts?"

"And deer, this deer isn't small either, look at this deer head and deer antlers, and so much meat... Uncle Without Xiao Long, it's only been a few days, and you've gotten so many things!"

Everyone in the room was exclaiming. Li Junfeng and Li Junshan knew Li Long's situation, and Tao Daqiang and Yang Yongqiang heard it from these two on the way.

It had only been a week since they left. How much prey could Li Long catch here by himself?

In their view, catching one or two wild boars or catching one or two yellow sheep was basically the limit.

Who could have thought that Li Long had actually gotten so many things in these few days!

Almost one a day!

Not to mention there were four wolves—this guy wasn't so easy to hunt!

"That yellow pelt is a lynx."

"What is a lynx?" Li Junfeng and Li Junshan were both asking, but Tao Daqiang had heard Li Long mention it—after all, Tao Daqiang knew Li Long ran into a lynx after he was injured last time.

"A kind of big cat, oh—similar to a leopard, smaller than a tiger, quite fierce." Li Long couldn't explain it well, so he just described it like that.

"Are these four wolves from the same pack?" Tao Daqiang suddenly asked.

"Yeah." Li Long smiled, somewhat proudly, "A pack of six, they targeted me when I was hunting deer. Good guy, they were fighting me to the death, not only eating the deer's internal organs but also wanting to eat me! I counter-killed them. This is the alpha wolf's pelt, big enough, right!"

"Really big! It can be used as a mattress." Li Junfeng sighed, "Uncle Without Xiao Long, did you shoot them one by one?"

"Not all of them, I set snares in front, including this lynx, and two wolves were caught in snares." "Snares?" Li Junfeng was a bit curious and wanted to ask, but was nudged by Li Junshan, and immediately realized, smiling, "Then Uncle Without Xiao Long, you really have skills!"

"Nothing." Li Long said, "It's also good luck."

That was what he said, and of course, that was what he thought. But in the eyes of Li Junshan and the four of them, Li Long was purely being modest.

It's believable to have good luck catching one or two, but catching so many with good luck?

"Are you hungry? I steamed mantou this morning, should I stir-fry a dish for you?" Li Long said, "You can haul these things back this afternoon."

"Then Uncle Without Xiao Long..." Li Junfeng was a bit hesitant, but still said, "Can you let us see how you hunt?"

Li Long thought for a while and said with a smile:

"Sure, but don't be in a hurry. Eat first. After eating, I'll take you to a place. If we are lucky, we can run into good things, and then we can catch them alive and go back. If we are unlucky, there's no way. After this heavy snow, if you want to hunt, you have to find the place first."

"Good, good!"

They all called out good.

Li Long didn't have to worry about cooking. There were mantou, meat, and pickled vegetables. These young men worked separately and soon prepared a table of food.

It was also stir-fried pickled vegetables with meat. This time, Li Junshan stir-fried the dish. The staple food was rice. What surprised Li Long was that Yang Yongqiang, whose family wasn't very wealthy, could steam rice in a pot, and the rice crust was golden and not burnt at all.

Tao Daqiang and Li Junfeng were helping, preparing ingredients, and didn't stop their hands either.

!.

Five big young men stood around the table and ate—there weren't that many stools. It was also very happy to chat while eating.

A large basin of vegetables was stir-fried, the taste was okay, the quantity was large enough, and it was comfortable to eat. People have a better appetite when eating together. So the rice wasn't left over, and the vegetables weren't left over either.

Finally, if it wasn't for Li Long saying that they might be able to catch live animals, these young men wouldn't want to move.

"Go, go, digest, just digest!" Li Junfeng shouted.

"Then who stays to watch the horse cart?" Yang Yongqiang suddenly asked.

The others were silent, and then Li Junshan and Tao Daqiang said "I" almost at the same time.

"No need, no need." Li Long thought about the terrain over there and said: "Hitch the horse, I'll take you over together. It's just that the snow is a bit thick, and in some places, you have to push, otherwise the horse cart won't go up."

"That's no problem, there are several big young men, not to mention pushing, even lifting it up!"

This was really refreshing.

Hitch the horse cart, find sticks, bring ropes, Li Long took his rifle, banked the stove, placed a teapot on top to boil water, then brought his satchel, chambered bullets in the rifle, put on clothes and a hat, and went out.

Heading east, Li Long, relying on the memory in his mind, took Li Junshan and the others, as well as the horse cart, and circled around to that pile of loose stone valley.

There were rock salt caves here. Li Long guessed that these wild animals would most likely be hiding inside at this time.

After all, the snow was too big, and at least they could keep warm in the cave.

Arriving at the mountain pass, just before he could see the stones in front of the cave, Li Long whispered:

"Tie the horse cart here, you follow me and move forward slowly, there is a cave in front, there might be good things inside!"

Actually, he wasn't sure if there was anything, but since he brought people over, he had to be confident!

Listening to Li Long's instructions, Li Junshan immediately tied the horse to a small tree on the edge of the valley, and then the four of them held sticks and followed Li Long to sneak up slowly.

There were many animal hoof prints in the loose stone valley, which also increased the confidence of Li Long and the others. He walked to the three-way intersection and found that there were indeed hoof prints going up, so he had a plan in his heart.

"Go, go up. Let's block the entrance. Whether we can catch them alive later depends on you!"

The five people slowly sneaked to the entrance of the cave, and it didn't cause any reaction.

Li Long was a bit uneasy.

Wouldn't they have made a wasted trip? (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 369 =====
