Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 35 Another Otter

Wu Hao took the bear bile: "Third son, the bear bile is sold for money, and we two are half of each other."

He had to repay the debt he owed in his previous life, and it happened that Wu Meng had to spend money to buy a bicycle.

"Okay." Wu Meng hesitated and only said one word. The second brother gave him everything since he was a child, and he remembered it in his heart.

That is to say, from then on, when the second brother asked him to beat anyone, he didn't ask why, and whoever dared to touch his second brother's finger when he was young, including going to school, would beat him to pieces.

The family is poor, otherwise he will give his second brother a share of everything he has.

If it really followed the hunting rules, the gun was brought by the second brother, and if the bear bile was sold, the second brother should get two-thirds.

But he dared to say that he would not have to be beaten.

"Okay." Wu Hao nodded in satisfaction and let go of his clenched fists.

The two walked against the wind and snow for nearly an hour and Wu Meng said, "Second brother, let's eat before we leave?"

Hungry, there is no meat in the cold pancakes.

Wu Hao took a look at the sky and took out a big biscuit and handed it to him: "It will be dark in two hours, take a bite and hurry back, it's not good if something happens on the road without a dog."

"Besides, your second mother may not be very good."

"Yeah." Wu Meng didn't refute, Er Niang must be thinking about the day, raised her hand to block the wind while eating and walking, dozens of catties of meat are delicious even after cooking, and eat hard when she gets home.

Less than 10 minutes after the two of them left, Hou Qing was finally woken up by the wind blowing and the snow hitting his face, feeling unconscious all over his body.

This frightened him, and he was even more frightened when he recalled the scene before he fell into a coma. He tried to shake his body and hoarsely called Hou Minghou's second child.

He coughed non-stop and spewed blood.

Being able to sleep in the snow at minus forty degrees for half an hour without dying is a fortune teller.

When he rolled around a few times and recovered a little, he was relieved when he looked up and saw the dead bodies of the two bears. Fortunately, the bears were dead, otherwise they would have been eaten.

I thought it was the second child who killed me, and I was very happy. My daughter-in-law must be even happier when she sees Qian when she returns home.

If you get two bear galls, the injury is worth it. How many people die may not be able to get money in exchange!

Turning around, he saw a man lying in the distance again.

Hou Qing hesitated for a moment. His wife knew that he must have two different attitudes when he took home two bear galls and one and one third.

Is the daughter-in-law more important than the brother?

Hou Qing sighed, brothers and daughters-in-law are not important, and the second child must be woken up if seriously injured, otherwise he may die, so let’s divide the money.

Slowly crawling over to wake up the second child, the two of them struggled for a long time before standing up tremblingly, supporting each other and walking towards the warehouse.

It's warm there, and when I recover, I light a fire to keep warm and eat, and I will go back after recovering from my injuries overnight.

Passing by Xiong Xiazi's corpse, the two of them were dumbfounded.

It was obvious that someone had disemboweled him, the bear's gall was gone, and two bear's paws were missing.

It was found that the gun was lost again, more than 1000 yuan, and the sum of bear bile was close to 3000 yuan!
Hou Dabao asked with a livid face, "Didn't you beat him to death?"

Hou Lao Er was a little confused: "No, I thought you were beaten to death when you woke up."

Then there was a hoarse roar of grief and indignation in the valley.

"Who the hell did this!"

With the virtues of Lao Hou's family, they would never think about it. If someone hadn't come to beat Xiong Xiazi to death, then they would have died.

He just thinks someone stole his stuff.

In order to save the dog, Wu Hao also saved their lives.

But he didn't regret it, if the bear didn't eat people and ran away, he would lose hundreds of dollars.

Wu Hao bowed his head and hurried on the road contentedly. The "Pingshan Demon" kept scraping and chose to walk in a straight line. After an hour, he went down a small river five meters wide in front of a dirt slope to block his way.

At this time, the wind is much less, and the river bank is low and there is almost no wind.

Wu Meng stepped forward and stepped on the ice, feeling a little trembling, probably unable to bear his weight, scratched his head and looked around, suddenly said: "The river turns here, we took the wrong way, we have to go around five miles."

"No hurry." Wu Hao squatted on the bank, shifted his gaze from the ice to the north and said with a smile: "More than 1000 meters up is the main river, and there are otters there, go and have a look."

The gap between the water surface and the ice layer is too large, so the otters must have built a dam to intercept the flow. It was just getting dark, so they should be looking for food in the water.

It's hard to catch without a clip. What if two of them are gnawing on trees on the bank, a gun is better than a clip.

"Okay." Wu Meng didn't go far after thinking about it, and took the lead to lead the way. There was a faint "creaking" sound from the bend of the river ahead.

Gently climbed up the bank slope and leaned against the tree, looked at the blurry little black shadow under the tree in front of me through the hazy sky and snow light and whispered: "Sure enough, there is one, but it is more than 60 meters away, and I can't see it clearly. It will be discovered further on.”

"Wrap the grass and beat the rabbit, and run away." Wu Hao put down the flesh on his body, and approached little by little with his gun.

Because of the wind noise, the otter's hearing is limited, and he is downwind, and the two sides are getting closer.

The sound ahead suddenly stopped, and the otter seemed to be waiting and watching. Wu Hao knew he couldn't move forward. There were few trees on the river bank, so even if it was dark, he was 30% sure of shooting at more than [-] meters away.

He squatted down and put the gun on his face to adjust his breathing, aiming at the black shadow beside the tree root, ready to hit the blind cat to kill the mouse.

"Bang." There was a sudden gunshot in the silent mountain forest, and the screams of small animals could be faintly heard, and the otter in front was hit hard on the head, and rolled over to the river.

"Hit!" Wu Meng ran towards the river with excitement.

Wu Hao was equally happy, turned around and picked up the meat to follow. The gun just now had a lot of luck.

"Old guy, it's nearly forty catties." Wu Meng picked up the otter whose head was smashed and weighed it a few times, and began to feel worried. Daoyuan is not serious, and it's still nearly thirty miles away from home.

"Throw a bear's paw into the ice hole, and you resist the otter." Wu Hao put down the meat and took the otter. The fur was cut neatly, and he threw away the internal organs and head himself.

I left the rest of the work home for Old Wu Gan. Before leaving, I looked at the more than ten-meter-long dam on the river. There should be a group of otters inside.

In a few days, he will bring traps to catch more otters. The risk of hunting otters is low, and the price is indeed not low, and there is a bear barn to try his luck further northwest.

The two of them hurried on the road, took a rest, and warmed up by the fire. It was estimated that it was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night when they returned to the village.

Fortunately, the two lived in the northeast corner, and they came home directly after leaving the mountain, without even the sound of a dog barking.

Instruct Wu Meng to eat lean meat from bear paws tomorrow, and cook fat meat as soon as possible.

"Don't worry." Wu Meng naturally knew what to say when he got home. After entering the courtyard, he jumped over the wall and went home.

Wu Hao pulled the door with the meat and the otter, and the door opened, which is usually plugged inside.

As soon as the front foot entered the outer room, the light in the room was on.

Gao Lijuan looked at the door with red eyes in her clothes, and turned back to the house when she saw that her son was fine.

Then Wu Weiguo came out with a fire stick and before he could speak, two words came from behind.

"sleep."

Wu Weiguo paused, then gave him a unwilling look, "Hmph!" and went back into the room.

Wu Hao listened intently, there was no quarrel in the front yard, it was fine that Wu Meng hadn't been beaten, and it was fine if he had been beaten, so don't let anyone know.

Close the door and put down the things, lifted the lid of the pot and sighed that the food inside was still hot, turned around and found four pieces of wood from the pile of firewood and took out a knife to scrape the surface.
