Chapter 189 Hunting is not easy

Li Yilong thought of the multi-person action organized by the village chief after the snow had subsided, and he couldn't help but remind the villagers who were standing in his yard, looking forward to watching him sharpen his knife.

Unexpectedly, several villagers shook their heads and still looked at him brightly.

Li Yilong didn't understand even more. He was really so greedy for meat that he couldn't even wait a few days?

It was the kind-hearted villagers who helped him solve his doubts. In fact, within half a year after the bandits obtained the prey from the mountains in exchange for money, many people in the village were moved. Some villagers encouraged the village chief to follow suit, but the village chief did not agree due to safety issues.

There is also a hunter in the village, but he is alone and dare not go into the mountains, so the harvest is just like that. The people in the village are not jealous of what he has earned with his life.

Unexpectedly, the hunters turned out to be different from those bandits. In just two years, their lives got better and better. They made money to build houses and married lovely wives. The village chief could not suppress the villagers' desire to get rich.

The village chief had no choice but to take twenty or thirty strong men into the mountain. Because he couldn't follow the rules, he only had two or three kittens, which were roasted and eaten on the mountain. Everyone returned in despair.

Then in the second and third years, the harvest was empty every year, and some people were even injured. Only then did everyone give up on hunting, a job that brings quick money, and admitted that the money was not easy to earn.

"It's unlikely that the village will organize people to go hunting in the mountains and catch big things. You usually don't know if you're not in the village. Every time you go up to the mountains for three or four days, you'll be as cold as a dog, but you won't be able to catch a few prey."

The villagers were a bit disgusted, so last year he was lucky enough to follow him. A group of grown men didn't dare to go too deep, so they just wandered outside the mountains and caught a few skinny pheasants and rabbits. They were still disturbed by the howling of wolves in the mountains. I was so scared that I almost got lost in the woods.

That's a wolf, and there are always packs of wolves, which scares everyone to death.

In those days, I ate cold dry food, drank cold snow water, and even had a headache when I slept. I either found a cave and crowded with smelly men, or I climbed a big tree and stayed there, tied up. , so as not to fall.

Someone still needs to keep watch at night to avoid being dragged away by wild beasts or making dumplings while sleeping, and that's the end of it.

Not to mention that half of his old life was gone, and he hadn't gained much yet. Anyway, he didn't plan to do it again. He would wait for other warriors to try it.

"Even if there is a harvest, it is still a small thing. Each family gets one cent, which is only one or two taels per family. It is just that little, and it is not enough for one person in the family."

The man's tone was gloomy. After a hard trip into the mountains, he felt that he had lost several pounds because of his hard work. That little bit of fat could not make up for his loss!

Only then did Li Yilong realize that the villagers were busy farming all year round. They usually set traps for pheasants, hares and the like on the periphery, and rarely went into the mountains.

Suddenly entering the mountains, it doesn't matter if the villagers have guns in their hands. They won't look for traces of prey in the mountains. The guns are just decorations.

However, large prey species live in dangerous deep mountains and rarely set foot near human habitation. Their range of activities is not fixed and changes frequently.

It's not that there are so many hunters that they dare not go in, and of course they can't find them. Rather than hunting, it's more like the villagers are too busy to go into the mountains to try their luck in winter.

Just in case something bad happens and you hit something big, it will happen!

But luck is a mystery, it doesn't listen to people's control.

"Then, when I'm free, I'll go to Daxing Village and talk to Orion Song, asking him to leave a big prey for you next time?"

Li Yilong thought for a while and came up with a compromise. At worst, he would contribute the wild boar, and at most, their family would eat more chicken.

Anyway, there are more chickens in the space, and they taste good. I haven’t completely disliked them after eating them for so many years.

"Really, that's great, it's settled."

Several villagers laughed. After listening to Li Yilong's words, they knew that the meat would not be able to escape this winter.

The group of bandits in Daxing Village have been running rampant in the nearby mountains and forests for several years, and they can't find prey anywhere.

That is to say, their leaders have some brains, and they control the hunting time in the mountains within a certain range every year, giving the things in the mountains time to recuperate and reproduce, otherwise they will be scared away or killed all.

It's just that people are a bit dishonest. Most of the prey they kill are sold to the county town, and they hardly appear in the surrounding villages.

At most, one can guess from the smell of the food at Huang Xiaohua's matchmaker's house that someone from that group of bandits has come to deliver meat again.

That woman Huang Xiaohua has been very proud in the past few years, because she introduced a daughter-in-law with good character and ability to the single bandits, which resulted in people giving her gifts every year and festival.

There were only two or three companies in the village that were related to that group of hunters. If you wanted to buy meat from people, you had to please someone who could talk to them.

"Come on, brother, look at your slow movements. Don't do this job often. I'll help you."

The villagers enthusiastically snatched the sharp knife from Li Yilong's hand, drove Li Yilong aside, and started killing with the knife in hand.

The movement was so neat, but fortunately it was a dead prey, and the blood had almost flowed from the wound, and there was no blood splashing.

Li Manping was startled and turned her head quickly, not daring to look at Xiqi any more. When the villagers saw her, she quickly chased them away.

"Brother, I'll help you take care of this roe deer. You tell this girl to stay away and hide. Don't be scared."

Li Manping didn't want to see this cruel scene, so she quickly ran into the house and talked to her aunt who was hiding in the house.

She was looking forward to what roe deer meat would taste like and how it was different from pork and chicken.

In the end, Li Yilong gave away a few kilograms of meat and gave it to a few villagers who helped clean it up. They were so considerate and cut the meat into strips of about the same size for him, which was very convenient.

At noon, Li Manping ate roe deer meat. Under the command of Grandma Song, her aunt cooked two dishes, one was braised roe deer and the other was stir-fried offal with pickles.

Li Manping and her cousins ​​ate with their mouths full of oil. The roe deer meat was so lean without much fat that it was suitable for people like them who like to eat lean meat.

Roe deer meat does not taste as good as wild boar. Compared with the meat at this time, it is still tender and smooth. Of course, it is not as tender as the cultured pork of later generations, but it is very delicious and has a light meaty taste.

After asking her grandma and grandpa, Li Manping learned that roe deer feeds mainly on leaves, grasses, and mushrooms, and the meat is rich in nutrients and has great tonic effects.

Hearing this, Li Manping ate half a bowl of more rice. She was injured and needed to take supplements.

"Uncle, are there many roe deer in the mountains?"

Li Manping looked at the little roe deer meat left in the basin and asked her uncle what she thought of.

She has so much space that she can keep several birds to thrive.

"You have beautiful thoughts, but life is not easy to encounter."

Li Yilong saw her plan at a glance and poured another ladle of cold water on her.

"I don't believe it. I'll ask Uncle Song one day."

Li Manping didn't believe it. At worst, she would sneak into the mountains, hide in space when in danger, and take in all the non-cruel ones she could keep.
