Chapter 182 Prey
Chapter 182 Prey
"I have a prepared trap over there. Let's go see if any prey falls into it?"
Li Yilong pointed in the direction and led the way again.
After walking for only ten minutes, Li Yilong led Li Manping to a place with dense trees.
The villagers all know this area and will stay away from it when collecting firewood, because this is where the villagers place traps for hunting. There are many traps around, which the villagers dig to try their luck.
Before he even got close, Li Yilong heard movement. It was the sound of prey struggling. It was just over the trap he dug. His eyes suddenly lit up. Oh, the movement was not small. Did something big fall in?
"Slowly, pay attention. There should be a lot of rope traps and traps around here. If you see such signs, just stay away, you know?"
Li Yilong pointed to the mark he made and told Li Manping, and also pointed out another trap and sign dozens of meters away.
"Well, I remember."
Li Manping took a closer look and remembered it in her mind. These signs were very obvious, and she seemed to be afraid of being accidentally hurt by someone approaching.
Li Manping followed her uncle and found that the cover over the pit had collapsed halfway, revealing a large wild boar and three piglets below.
The belly of the big wild boar was punctured with several punctures by sharp wood, and blood was soaked all over the floor. The small piglets were unscathed.
"Uncle, you are so amazing. There really are wild boars! There are quite a few of them!"
Li Manping was pleasantly surprised. She could raise the piglets. When the space is gradually optimized, she might have endless pork in the future.
There are many breeds of pigs out there, including Russian white pigs, miniature Yorkshire pigs, and nearly ten other breeds including Polish pigs, Tamworth pigs, Hampshire pigs, and Duroc pigs that have been introduced one after another.
In order to adapt to the local environment and disease resistance, these pigs will be crossbred with local pigs twice to select some excellent hybrid pigs to meet the improvement of Chinese people's living standards and increase in pork consumption.
The most popular one is the large white pig, with its fat and oily meat!
"I didn't expect it either. It seems like I'm lucky today. It doesn't look like this wild boar fell down for long. You put it away and we leave as soon as possible. We're afraid that the smell of blood will attract other big guys later."
Li Manyilong is also happy. With this big wild boar weighing four to five hundred pounds, they will have enough pork this year.
"Slowly, you put them away, and the little pig will be kept for you."
Li Yilong looked around and saw no other people or animals in his field of vision, so he shot the wild boar again and asked Li Manping to put it away.
Li Manping looked at the cute little pigs with bright eyes.
She wanted to eat roast suckling pig, but she didn't know if anyone in the family could cook it.
Do you want to ask?
In the end, she didn't ask, mainly because she was embarrassed. Nowadays, most people are struggling to have enough food and clothing. Her family stews chicken and butchers pigs every now and then, which attracts people's attention!
She decided to build a small kitchen in the space as soon as possible. In the future, if she wanted to eat good food, she could cook it in the space, so that the smell would not leak out and attract attention.
But first she had to learn how to cook. At least she had to be able to cook meat dishes, otherwise she would be useless with her current skills.
After leaving this place with my uncle, we wandered around in the forest and only harvested two skinny pheasants and a bundle of dead branches.
It seems that the prey has entered the deeper area!
The cold wind howled, and fine snowflakes fell from the sky. In a short time, a shallow layer fell on the ground.
"Come on, let's go home quickly. It looks like the snow will be heavy today, and we won't have a chance to come back in a short time."
Li Yilong checked the direction and rushed down the mountain with Li Manping. They had to go back quickly.
When approaching the hillside behind the village, Li Manping took the wild boar out of the space and put it on the ground, intending to drag it back to eat meat for her family, but Li Yilong stopped her.
"No need, it's been snowing heavily for an hour. Everyone in the village should have gone home now, and no one will be outside."
"Ok."
Li Manping listened to her uncle's advice, put the wild boar away again, and traveled lightly.
Sure enough, when passing through the village walkway, every house was closed, and only the rising smoke from the chimneys indicated that someone was at home.
It seems that everyone is cold and hiding in the house burning the kang.
"I'm back. Come on in and warm yourself by the fire."
Seeing them entering the house, Grandma Song greeted them distressedly.The aunt took a look at the basket and noticed the pheasant inside.
"It's not bad. I still have a few things. It's so cold that my trip was not in vain."
The whole family knew that there were only a few people in Li Manping's space, so every time he took something out of the space, they had to step in and explain it, and no one else knew.
"I ate roast chicken today, so I'll keep these two pheasants for soup tomorrow. Do you think that's okay?"
The aunt looked at the people in the room and asked everyone for their opinions.
Everyone agreed, but Li Zhao and Li Cheng didn't care at all. The two brothers were acting coquettishly around Li Yilong, hoping that he would take them up the mountain.
They spend more time in the county town, and come to live in the countryside during the two holidays throughout the year. Because they were young, no one would take them to the mountains before. They only played around the village, so they have always yearned for the mountains and forests.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, but you have to wait a few days for the wind and snow to stop."
Li Yilong was annoyed by the two boys. Thinking of winter hunting after the snow stopped, he agreed.
The surrounding villages hold winter hunting every year, and usually they go into the mountains after the snow stops. One is to kill time, and the other is to add two meat dishes for the New Year.
After heavy snow, hares, pheasants, wild boars and other hungry animals will come out to look for food, leaving traces of prey such as rabbits or pheasants on the snow.
It is easy for people to find the target by following the traces they have walked, and they can find it almost accurately, and they can gain much more than usual.
Of course, more people go for the large prey in the mountains and forests, so they will go straight inside and let go of those on the outside, which makes it easier for those who are timid to pick up on the outside.
After warming up for a while, Li Manping thought of her other friends in the village and decided to visit their homes. She spoke to her uncle and aunt before going out.
After going out, looking at the white snow outside, Li Manping wrapped her clothes tightly. The snow was really heavy. It had only been more than two hours and it was completely white outside.
Stepping on the ankle-deep snow, Li Manping moved forward slowly. She wanted to visit Fan's house and ask another time traveler about her life in the past six months.
She has a normal relationship with the eldest son of the Fan family, and is not close to the fourth eldest son of the Fan family, even though she discovered the eldest son of the Fan family who is also a time traveler a few years ago.
She was curious and defensive about Fan Fangyi, fearing that she would see that she was just like her. After all, she had exposed herself and was discovered by the fourth son of the Fan family, so she would be more careful in front of them and try not to reveal her true identity to make people suspicious. .
She and Fan Youning are closer in age, so although they are in different grades and don't often get together, they still have a good relationship.
