Chapter 477: A ruthless person is very aloof

~19 min read 3,615 words

Even if this person fainted, Li Long didn't relax his vigilance. He carried the rifle forward to look, and found that this person had several wounds on his body, bitten by teeth and scratched by claws. Don't know if it was infected or for other reasons, the forehead was very hot, and he was having a fever.

Since people gave rewards, Li Long didn't have time to refuse, so he couldn't ignore it.

Li Long found an empty bedding and spread it to the shed on the east. Below was grass. After spreading it flat, he carried the person over and put him on it.

This shed is equivalent to a house without a door, with a wooden top, stronger than the dugout in the mountains. Li Long also didn't feel good about putting the person directly in the bedroom. It's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. If this person really has some problems, he would also be quite troublesome.

After settling the person, he went to take aspirin and fed two tablets to this person. Next was to pour hot water to wipe the wounds.

Fortunately, although there were many wounds, most were not deep, just lost a bit too much blood, so he thought about adding coal to the stove. After the fire started, he heated the rice porridge. If this person wakes up, drinking some rice porridge, and then getting some meat and such to supplement is better.

There were three wounds that needed bandaging, and the rest had already scabbed.

This time Li Long bought medicine from the medicine company and had gauze, so he took the gauze and helped this person bandage it. The temperature in the shed at night wasn't high, Li Long lit a pile of fire beside this person, one to drive away the cold and two to scare the beasts, which was basically taken care of.

As for that wolf, he was too lazy to clean it up in the middle of the night, simply dragged it and threw it into the tractor's carriage. Reckon even if any carnivorous animals come over, they might not be able to climb up.

After doing these, Li Long was also a bit sleepy, so he went to the house and continued to sleep.

When sleeping, he still read a sentence: Don't blame my heart for being hard, people can't be too soft when outside, those who are too soft are easily harmed.

Li Long slept for I don't know how long, and was woken up by the movement outside again. This time, what woke him up was a wolf howl.

There was moonlight outside. Li Long put on clothes, carried the rifle and went out, looked around, and soon in the southwest direction, twenty or thirty meters away from the tractor, saw two wolves there, one howling, and one staring at this side.

Li Long understood that these two guys very likely came for revenge, and of course, it's also possible they smelled the blood and wanted to share a piece of the pie.

Li Long was never polite to wolves. He picked up the rifle, half-squatted, aimed and pulled the trigger. Those two wolves should also have seen the world, and their reaction was extremely fast. Li Long's rifle was just picked up, and they had already started to retreat and escape. "Bang, bang," two shots hit the empty space, splashing light dust.

Wolves are very cunning, not inferior to foxes in this regard. Seeing that the other party had a powerful weapon, the two wolves immediately retreated and soon disappeared into the mountain forest.

Li Long spat, put away the rifle, turned and went to the shed to look.

The fire in the shed was weaker, but still burning. Firewood is extremely durable. The seven or eight pieces of firewood Li Long put on the fire could burn for one or two hours.

He went up and touched it, and found that the person's fever had subsided a bit, and his breathing was steady, so it should be no big problem.

To be on the safe side, Li Long carried the rifle and circled the wooden house, finding no wolves before entering the house.

After all, originally at Halimu's place, he really experienced the cunning of wolves. Actually setting ambushes, actually detouring!

Damn it, even more powerful than those black uncle baby soldiers!

Entering the house, seeing the fire in the stove was almost out, he pressed some coal, used the firelight to check the time, heh, almost seven o'clock.

Still sleep a fart, burn water and prepare to work.

Li Long didn't rush to deal with the wolf. He first burned hot water in the house. Every day, the first thing to do when setting up the stove and starting the fire is to burn hot water, pour the hot water into the thermos, and then it is breakfast and other things.

While the stove was burning hot water, Li Long went outside again, set up the fire under the two stoves. There was a wolf lying there, this hot water must be used.

After the water in the two pots on the stove was burned, Li Long then went to the tractor's carriage and carried the wolf over.

Didn't look at it last night, now it seems, there was an injury on the wolf's hind leg, and it was an old injury, shouldn't have been caused when fighting with this Zhongshan suit person. There were many injuries on other parts of the wolf, and there was a large amount of blood foam remaining at the corner of the mouth, the spine was broken, and the neck was also broken. This should have been broken by a heavy blow.

Even if this person fought the broken-legged wolf alone and could beat the wolf to death, he was quite powerful.

In fact, if talking about martial arts value, an ordinary adult as long as there is a stick in his hand, dealing with ordinary wolves is not a problem.

But this is only theory. Ordinary people live in a peaceful living space, let alone wolves, being bitten by dogs is very rare, so usually, as long as they are bitten, once that intense pain is transmitted to the brain, they don't know how to react, only knowing to escape, and counterattack is only subconscious.

In the news, there are often incidents of people being bitten to death or injured by dogs. Those rational people will analyze and blame how they could be bitten by such a small dog, why not beat it to death, why not counterattack...

Actually, they don't know how to counterattack. At the moment of being bitten, many people's attention has been concentrated on the pain point, rather than how to counterattack.

So those who can counterattack with tools and counter-kill when being bitten are ruthless people.

Because once you can overcome the pain at that time and put your attention on counterattack, you successfully make the pain not so important. In fact, from theoretical data, unless the wolf bites your neck trachea or main artery, otherwise, give up an arm or a piece of meat on the leg, and take the opportunity to pick up a brick or stick when it bites, it is very easy to kill it.

It's just that for most ordinary people, analysis is easy, but implementation is difficult. After all, some people can shout pain for a long time after scratching a small cut on their hand.

Li Long feels that this Zhongshan suit is a ruthless person, also based on this point. People in this era are generally more able to endure hardship and pain than later generations, but facing wolves, there must still be a certain timid psychology.

He is a capable person!

Li Long carried the wolf in one hand and a basin in the other and went to the spring to start skinning the wolf.

This wolf skin is not easy to skin, because there are many broken bones on the wolf, and some bone spurs stick out, which is quite troublesome to deal with.

Fortunately, Li Long is not in a hurry. He skins half and comes over to look at the water in the house. The water boiled, he poured it into the thermos, and put a few pieces of brick tea in the teapot, and rushed a pot of tea.

Next is breakfast. The fire in the stove is red fire, the big fire just boiled water, the temperature is not that high, just right to roast the buns, and then go to the pot outside to boil four eggs, just make do with breakfast.

After the bun slices were roasted, Li Long went to the shed to look at that person, found that the Zhongshan suit hadn't woken up, the fire pile beside him was only left with residual fire, so he threw a few pieces of firewood in, and then waited for more than ten minutes, feeling the eggs were cooked, so he went to fish them out, and ate breakfast happily.

Roasted bun slices dipped in red bean curd, plus eggs, this is a good breakfast.

After eating, Li Long simply cleaned up and continued to skin the wolf.

Wasps have already come to harass, Li Long waved to drive them away, and continued to work. Half an hour later, the whole wolf skin was skinned, he breathed a sigh of relief, this is his reward.

Open the belly, dig out the internal organs in the wolf's belly, looking at the net oil, it shows that this wolf's food was good recently.

Squeeze out the shit in the stomach and intestines, go to carry a basin of hot water, mix it with cold water to make warm water, and start washing the stomach and intestines. There is oil in the stomach and intestines, so cold water cannot be used, but water that is too hot cannot be used either, otherwise it will be half-cooked, the dirty things won't be washed away, and it won't be edible if mixed together.

After washing clean, Li Long also disassembled the wolf's throat, picked out the meat, and prepared to boil some and dry some.

No way, there are not many people, can't eat it all at once, so can only dry it into air-dried meat.

!.

While dealing with it, Li Long suddenly turned his head. He looked at the shed.

This brother, woke up.

Li Long carried the knife and came to the shed, looking at this one uncovering the quilt, preparing to sit up.

"You'd better lie down first, there are so many wounds on your body, don't tear them open and bleed again, I won't bandage you again."

"Thank you." That one smiled, still sat up, leaning against the wall of the wooden house, saying:

"I thought I wouldn't survive this time."

"How is that possible? You are so ruthless, heaven won't collect you." Li Long joked, "Being able to beat a wolf to death with bare hands, you can be counted as one of the best in these mountains."

"Not bare hands, I held a stick." That person corrected. "Fine, anyway, if it were an ordinary person, I reckon they would have been skinned by the wolf."

"You can too." That person said very seriously.

Li Long suddenly felt that saying this was meaningless, so he changed the topic:

"Can you eat? I have roasted bun slices here, red bean curd, boiled eggs..."

"I have no money." This person was very straightforward and very clear, with a bit of aloofness, as if he didn't intend to eat if he didn't pay the price.

"It's okay, the value of that wolf, besides saving you, there is still surplus." Li Long said, while carrying a large plate from the wooden house, on which were roasted bun slices, eggs, red bean curd. After Li Long put the plate down, he went to the wooden house and poured a bowl of hot tea over.

"I don't have milk here, can't make milk tea, you just make do with it."

"Already very good." Zhongshan suit said while eating, "Thank you."

"No need, we are trading, two clear." Li Long waved his hand and continued to deal with the wolf meat.

Zhongshan suit watched Li Long's skilled set of actions there, separating meat and bones, with meat on the bones. He couldn't help but ask:

!.

"Why don't you pick all the meat off?"

"Don't need to. These with bones need to be made into air-dried meat, how to air-dry without meat? Pick some out to cook and eat usually, don't need much." Li Long said while picking, "Can't store that much."

Besides, there are many things in the mountains, this wolf meat is coarse, and compared to the tender meat of wild goats, roe deer, the fishy smell is heavier, so it needs heavy ingredients when cooking, so it's better to keep less.

After dealing with it, Li Long poured all those internal organs into a large pot to boil, and another pot of wolf bones was also boiling.

He went to the small room to take half a bag of coarse salt, smeared it on those meat bones, and after smearing, he used iron hooks to wear them and hang them on the rope outside, starting to air-dry.

The fishy smell of meat attracted many wasps and flies, but there was salt on it, so they didn't dare to land, and were anxious to death.

Li Long went to the big room again, uncovered the stove lid, and after putting on the pot, started to cook the meat.

There is not much net oil in the wolf's belly, which is one of the reasons why Li Long doesn't want to cook too much meat. If there is little oil, the meat that can be sealed is little. If there is too much, it can't be covered. After a long time, the meat will grow hair and go bad.

Because of the meat quality, Li Long threw some peppercorns and star anise into it when cooking the meat to remove the smell.

Zhongshan suit watched Li Long's skilled set of actions while eating. He knew very well that Li Long must have done these not once, not even ten times. Although Song Dynasty people worshipped literature and martial arts, and used the oil seller to satirize that "only hand is skilled", in fact, every line has its own skills, not just saying hand is skilled. Mechanically completing a certain action a thousand times, it can form muscle memory, but if this action is wrong or not the most efficient, it cannot have a qualitative leap.

Only when people discover mistakes in continuous practice and make corrections and adjustments, will they finally form the most efficient technique.

It's not just saying "hand is skilled".

After eating, Zhongshan suit wanted to carry the plate over. Li Long saw it and waved his hand, saying:

"You'd better not move, don't cause me trouble, if you really bleed all over again, you don't have a second wolf."

Saying that, he went to get a bottle of aspirin, and carried a bowl of warm boiled water, saying:

"Here, this water is for taking medicine, you should be clear that tea dissolves medicine. This medicine is aspirin, I feel it's suitable for you at the moment, did your fever subside?"

"Almost subsided, I feel I can move in the afternoon." Zhongshan suit took the medicine and said.

"No hurry, the value of that wolf hasn't been fully utilized yet, wolf skin can sell for thirty or forty yuan, wolf meat can also sell for twenty or thirty yuan, wolf teeth and wolf stones can't sell for money, but there are many people who like them, so you can stay here for three to five days."

"Better not, I... I have trouble, and urgent matters."

Zhongshan suit took the medicine. He saw that Li Long didn't want to listen to his story. In fact, he didn't want to tell it either. Telling too much would implicate others, why bother.

"Then just stay with peace of mind, just right to help me. I'm going to drive the tractor to other places in the afternoon, just right for you to help me look at this place. There are many drifters in the mountains, some want to come over to exchange things, some want to pry the house while I'm not here. Too bad."

After Li Long finished speaking, he went to the small room to find needle and thread, and also gave Zhongshan suit a thimble. Many people don't know how to use this thing.

Zhongshan suit looked at that set of things and smiled bitterly.

"No way, I only have black and white threads, this green one is not here, just make do with it." Li Long was still that sentence.

After speaking, he continued to be busy.

The sun had already risen, the surface temperature rose, although the fire in the shed hadn't gone out, it didn't need much anymore.

After changing clothes, Zhongshan suit began to sew his clothes. He cherished this set of clothes very much, and sewed them very carefully, the stitches were very fine.

Li Long no longer paid attention to him, and took advantage of the gap to pick mushrooms nearby. Before the tall grass grows in late June, other grass mushrooms and pine mushrooms have already grown. Bovine liver mushrooms, large white crisp, etc., are all tenderly arched out, Li Long picked a lot. Some of these can be dried into mushroom dry, some are not suitable, Li Long washed them and prepared to cook at night, some of which can be brought to Xiaobaiyang Gou.

You know, a few decades later, the wild mushroom soup noodles over in Yili are nearly ten yuan more expensive than ordinary soup noodles!

And inside, at most, one or two such grass mushrooms are put, that's the limit.

After picking half a bag of grass mushrooms and returning, Li Long began to look at the internal organs and wolf bones in the pot.

The meat in the pot on the stove in the house has been cooked, put in a basin and waiting to cool down. Li Long saw the wolf meat and internal organs outside were almost boiled, so he began to prepare lunch.

These meats need to be added with brine, otherwise the meat won't taste good. Fortunately, there are still many seasonings Li Long brought, after putting them in, he planned to steam some rice on the stove in the inner room.

The two stoves outside are occupied, steaming rice on the stove in the wooden house can't stir-fry, Li Long thought it was troublesome, just be simple. In this era, who can be particular about lunch having two or three dishes when eating meat every meal?

Rice steamed, Li Long called Zhongshan suit who had already sewn clothes and could climb up to come over to eat.

Have to say, this one's physical quality is still good, lost so much blood, several wounds on the body, at present it seems only walking slowly, face is a bit white.

Don't know if it's painful on the body, just supporting it.

When eating, Zhongshan suit introduced himself, his name is Liu Shanmin, came from the inland, looking for relatives and also to handle something. As for why he entered the mountains, he didn't say, just said that he listened to Li Long's words yesterday, walked upstream, found the water was still big at the river, couldn't cross, continued to walk south, when it was dark, wanted to find a place to rest for a night, didn't expect to find a wolf nest.

There was an injured wolf in the wolf nest. When seeing Liu Shanmin, it prepared to attack. Liu Shanmin had a stick in his hand, his reaction was extremely fast, gave the wolf a stick on the head, but this wolf head was too hard, didn't suffer much injury and then scratched Liu Shanmin, next was fighting each other and he beat the wolf to death, and he was also injured.

Liu Shanmin knew there must be other wolves in the wolf nest, possibly went out to hunt. He couldn't stay in this place, but was injured, lost so much blood, worried about not being able to run to other places, so he thought about returning to Li Long here.

"Fortunately you came back," Li Long said while eating, "At six o'clock, two wolves smelled the smell and came over, I fired and scared them away. Wolves are also cunning, I didn't hit them either."

"Then thank you for saving my life again."

"No 'again', just one life, you said at that time, this wolf is a reward, I took the wolf, can't ignore the follow-up." Li Long waved his hand, "You lost too much blood, eat more wolf liver to replenish blood."

Liu Shanmin didn't eat much, movements were also very slow, looking extremely well-bred, but Li Long didn't care, wolfing down, the two had a distinct contrast.

Li Long looked at the other party's movements, thinking that this guy, if dressed up, can be put in idol dramas in later generations. A natural protagonist!

Unfortunately, born at the wrong time.

Just when the two were eating, in the distance, a tall person was running towards here in a panic.

Li Long looked, isn't this the one who sold him the metal pieces? Why hasn't he gone out yet? (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 478 =====
