Chapter 398
The linden tree is a good thing, and its flowers are an excellent source of honey. The bark fiber can be used to make sacks, twist ropes, and artificial cotton. It can also be used as a guide line for gunpowder. It's a pretty good thing for carving.
Because it often grows in the Korean pine forest, it is also known as the broad-leaved Korean pine.
The most important thing is that if there are linden trees, there will be no shortage of empty tube trees.
And the empty tube tree is an ideal hibernation place for Xiong Xiazi.
There are big poplars and big elms.
Like the linden tree, it can grow as thick as two or three people hugging each other. The thick trees that are old are easy to rot and form tree holes.
Many linden trees, poplar trees and elm trees, the bark on the outside looks like they are still alive, but the inside is already in a mess. It really lives up to the saying: a tree lives like a bark!
Putting the sable away in the hunting bag and carrying the semi-automatic on his back, Lu Lu saw that it was still early, so he continued to search for small animals in the mountains.
Not long after, he saw a big linden tree with a diameter of at least two meters on the gentle slope.At a height of more than six meters from the ground, there is a newly dug tree hole, and there are obvious tree flowers (paw prints) on the trunk.
Lu Lu had seen this thing with the hunters when he was collecting mountain goods before, and he recognized at a glance that there was a hollow in the tree, which was remembered by Xiong Xiazi, and it was planned to be used as a place to squat for the winter after it snowed.
He has experience in this area.
It is usually the easiest and safest place to fight the blind bear after snowfall, so it is mostly chosen after the blind bear has squatted.
Xiong Xiazi squatting in the warehouse is also easy to find, because what?
When it snows, it is easy to leave footprints of Xiong Xiazi on the snow. Follow the footprints to the base of the tree roots. The footprints are gone. If you look up the tree, there are likely to be paw prints left by Xiong Xiazi.
Seeing a hole in the tree, the blind man must be lying in the hole.
Xiong Xiazi often chooses a big hollow tree before squatting in the warehouse, and it knocks a hole in the branch or trunk of the tree and drills it in.
The cangzikou is on the top and middle of the tree branches, and there are also openings at the bottom.
If you find the marks made by claws on the bark, you will know it is inside. If the hatch is opened low, you can directly see the blind bear in a hazy state inside.
Xiong Xiazi went to the tree barn not once. He had to knock the tree several times to get out of the tree barn. He also had to carefully repair and expand the rotten wood core inside to make it smooth before he could live in it.
Under normal circumstances, Xiong Xiazi does not squat in the warehouse as soon as it snows in winter. It will choose to squat in the warehouse when it is too cold. The rest of the time is busy eating hard, so that the fat becomes thick.Generally, the squatting is completed after light snow and before heavy snow.
It hasn't snowed yet.The discovery of such trees can only explain one problem. When the weather is frosty at night and it is very cold, Xiong Xiazi began to have the idea of squatting.
And this tree has been missed by it, and even knocked out the mouth of the tree. When the heavy snow really comes, it is very likely to choose this tree to hibernate.
In addition to the tree bins, there are also stone bins. There is a hole in the gap between the rocks and it gets in.
There is also the ground warehouse, just like a mouse digging a hole, Xiong Xiazi just made a big hole in the ground and got in.
In comparison, there are more tree warehouses.
Of course, the big linden tree in front of him can only be said to be missed by Xiong Xiazi, and it cannot be concluded that it will definitely go to this place to hibernate.
After all, at this time, it is still wandering around outside, and if it finds a more suitable one, it may give up at any time.
However, Lu Lu hurriedly took out his notebook and marked this location as well.
The peaks of the Xiaoxing’an Mountains are gentle and layered. These place names are extremely complicated, and many places even have no names at all. Lu Lu can only use his own memory to mark the route on the map he drew to prevent himself from forgetting these places.
It is estimated that only he himself can understand such a map.
In a few days, he has marked more than 30 places.So far it looks good, at least once you open this simple map, you can clearly remember the location of these places in your mind, and the most convenient and nearest way to go.
These places are either large hollow trees that are large enough to accommodate Xiong Xiazi, or places where Xiong Xiazi has stayed before, including some stone caves and earth caves in the mountains.
There are more than 30 places, so five or six of them can live in Xiong Xiazi, which is not bad.
This is not an overestimation. Lu Lu has traveled a lot in the past few days, covering a large area.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. If you know more about the current situation in the mountains, you can always find these wild animals more easily than others.
Bear bile, the most inferior straw bile, also starts at [-], which is not a small sum of money, the portion is sufficient, and the price will only be higher.
The paw prints left on the tree are still very fresh. At least, in the last two or three days, a Xiong Xiazi has been active around here. After making a mark, Lu Lu looked around, trying to find the Xiong Xiazi. trace.
It's a pity that there are fallen leaves everywhere in the forest, which are very tightly covered, so it's not easy to find, and Yuanbao, Bailong and Heizui, who have the best sense of smell, can't respond to the surroundings, otherwise, Lu Lu really wants to follow up and fight now Kill it, so as not to become someone else's prey in the future.
There was the sound of leaves being shaken among the trees on the slope below. Yuan Bao looked down vigilantly, and soon let out a fierce cry.
Another little animal...
Lu Lu approached diagonally downward carefully, and soon saw a gray dog jumping on the red pine, and a pine cone that fell from the tree, all of which were bitten to pieces.
The sound of the leaves just now was the sound of the pine cone falling and hitting the bushes below.
You don't have to be so careful when you hit Greyhound.
Lu Lu directly took out the slingshot, released the projectile, pulled the bow skin and waited.
The gray dog jumping on the branch squatted down on a branch after a few jumps, and looked at Lu Lu's side without moving. It's just that the gray dog who was seven or eight meters away squeaked and fell from the branch.
Several puppies immediately rushed forward, this time Bailong arrived first and brought the gray dog back.
Yuan Bao didn't follow out, but stood next to Lu Lu, and made a louder fierce noise towards the opposite mountain forest.
This is a big wild animal!
Lu Lu didn't dare to be careless, and immediately put the slingshot in the bag, and took off the semi-automatic one he was carrying.
He looked at the opposite side solemnly, took the gray dog sent by Bailong, and was not busy peeling it, but directly threw it in his backpack, and then quickly walked down the ravine, wanting to look at the opposite side What a wild animal.
If it's a big deal, after it's knocked down, it's as good as a greyhound for many days.
In fact, as soon as he got down to the half slope, Lu Lu saw an earth leopard covered with stripes standing on the swaying tree branch opposite.
Lu Lu was slightly startled, this was the first time he saw a leopard when he came to the mountains.
This is a large beast that is as rare as Big Claw, second only to Big Claw in size and strength, and is worthy of the name of the second king in the mountains.
It seemed to have heard the sound from Lu Lu's side, and it was looking towards Lu Lu's side.
Probably because they have eaten the meat of the big paws, and also endured the coercion of the big paws, when they saw the leopard, Yuan Bao and a few puppies, who should have been trembling, seemed very calm at this time, and even showed a strong desire to attack .
When Lu Lu saw the spotted pattern of this leopard, he kept sighing in his heart: "What a beautiful fur!"
He probably understands now why leopard print is so popular: it is a kind of wild gorgeousness.
Now that it has been discovered, it is very difficult to get close, unless it is so courageous that it is not afraid of people at all.
On this hillside, you can see it without any cover. It is also a good shooting position. Although the distance is quite far, 60 meters, Lu Lu still picked up the semi-automatic, ready to aim carefully and shoot. .
If you get too close, with the speed and agility of a leopard, you can't kill it with one blow, but you will easily put yourself in danger.
However, when Lu Lu raised his gun, the leopard suddenly turned around, jumped down from the tree, and disappeared into the forest.
"Fuck...you didn't give me a chance!"
But Lu Lu still didn't want to give up. He held the gun carefully, paying attention to the abnormalities around him, and walked towards the valley below, ready to go and have a look.
What if the leopard stays around and still has a chance to shoot it?
However, when Lu Lu got there, he had to be disappointed. There was no sign of a leopard, and even Yuan Bao just sniffed around and made no movement. Instead, he hummed at the tree.
Lu Lu looked up and found a wild animal hanging between the branches of the tree, with long zombie teeth and a familiar musky smell. The one on the tree was clearly a roe deer.
The leopard should have made the noise when it jumped up the tree with the roe in its mouth just now.
Roe deer, there is such a strong musky smell... Good stuff!
Looking at the roe deer hanging limply on the branch, blood still dripping down, Lu Lu looked around again, afraid that the leopard was hiding around.
Leopards are very good at hiding. They hide in the forest or on trees with their fur. If they don't move, they are not easy to be seen.
The deer on the tree is the food it hunts. This is the cat that is best at hiding food. It has always protected its food and is unwilling to share its food with other wild animals, even the residue.
The combat power is extraordinary, even dare to shake in the territory of the big claws, can easily hunt wild boars, red deer, and even dare to try sharp beasts when encountering a blind bear.
The attack he is best at is the chokehold, which is fatal in one blow, and has a strong bite force, even if it is as strong as a cannon egg, it can't hold it.
After careful inspection, he confirmed that the leopard was indeed not hiding in the surrounding area. Lu Lu immediately turned off the safety of the semi-automatic to prevent fire accidents when climbing the tree.
Fortunately, this tree has three forked branches less than two meters from the ground. Lu Lu leaped lightly, hugged one branch, and put his foot on the trunk to catch the other branch. The branch, with a sudden force in the hand, followed by a straightening of the waist, turned over and sat on the fork.
The next thing was simple. Clinging to the branches, Lu Lu quickly came to the place where the leopard hung the deer, took a look at the deer, and then threw it under the tree, and he himself followed closely from the tree.
With such a strong musky smell, it is obvious that this is a roe deer in estrus. The neck is bloody and bloody. It has already been bitten to death by a leopard, but it still looks warm. It must have just died not long ago.
There are two male deer deer in Caodianzi. When Lu Lu collected the musk, he wanted to breed more offspring through them and the two female deer.
But now this one can only peel off its sachet.
Looking at the swollen sachet hanging on the abdomen, there must be a lot of musk inside.According to Lu Lu's initial estimate, it would cost thousands of dollars, at least.
It was a windfall.
Someone followed Big Claw to pick up the tiger's stack, so Lu Lu had picked up the leopard's stack.
He didn't stay here, he didn't want to be targeted by this beast that is extremely good at lurking, Lu Lu carried the deer and just wanted to stay away, all the way back to the side of Zhuifeng, turned over and rode Zhuifeng, although it was still early, he didn't want to think too much stayed.
The key point is that the protective vests and collars of Yuan Bao and the five cubs have not yet been made. Facing such extremely agile and flexible beasts like leopards, Lu Lu is particularly worried that they will suffer.
If one is not careful, one dog's throat may be choked, and a dog's life may be lost, and the gain outweighs the loss.
In addition to the furs of Greyhound and Leaping Cat, I already got a sable fur today, plus this deer, it is a great harvest.
Don't be too greedy!
Lu Lu directly chose to go home.
Considering that the dogs had eaten a lot in one day, Lu Lu didn't walk too fast. It took nearly two hours to finally return to his yard.
Chen Xiuyu was rubbing corn on the big kang inside the house, when she heard the noise outside, she went to the window and looked outside, and seeing that it was Lu Lu who came back, she immediately put down her work and ran out of the house: "Brother Lu, Why did you come back so early today?"
Seeing her running happily, Lu Lu frowned: "You should slow down for me!"
