Chapter 222
“Chungen!”
Just when Li Chungen was puzzled, Li Shuisheng beside him suddenly shouted at him.
“Ah?” Li Chungen was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at his father, and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? Are your eyes longer than your crotch? If you walk any further, you will hit a tree! And you’re asking me what’s wrong?”
Li Shuisheng cursed loudly.
Hearing this, Li Chungen was stunned and turned his head. Yes, there was a pine tree in front of him, only about ten centimeters away from his head.
“…I was distracted and didn’t pay attention.”
Li Chungen scratched his head and explained.
“You are distracted when you enter the mountains. Do you think your life is too long? If you can’t do it, go home! Don’t come out and embarrass yourself!”
Li Shuisheng was originally a rough man. He was able to become the captain of the militia because of his military experience.
When he started scolding his son, he was not polite at all, and he scolded him all over.
Many people were laughing behind him.
……
The speed of the journey was a bit slow. Along the way, the three little beasts in Shilin were like hardworking little bees, constantly moving away from the crowd and bringing back a prey.
Running back and forth, the villagers were envious.
There were two more sacks on the horse sled for the prey of the three little beasts. Now one sack was full and the other was half full.
Today, maybe because they went into the mountains together or it just snowed, the sable, the little white tiger and the big cat didn’t get any big prey.
The biggest one was the yellow-haired one that the big cat brought back at the beginning.
After that, they caught more small prey such as pheasants, hares, and flying dragons.
Being able to catch more than a sack of small prey shows how hard the three little beasts worked.
It was noon, and everyone finally arrived at the place where Shilin picked up the tiger stack before.
Before the snow, it only took Shi Lin about two hours to get here by himself, but today they spent a whole morning, and this was the result of not stopping to rest after taking a break on the road.
In addition to the difficulty of walking on snowy days, the large number of people was also a reason. Everyone has different physical fitness. Even if the young and middle-aged people who entered the mountain today were all young and strong, there were also some with poor physical fitness.
In order to take care of those who walked slowly, everyone had to slow down.
“Hey, Brother Linzi, is this the bear you mentioned before? The ox cart is still here!”
Shi Yubo came to the side of the ox cart, pointed to the big bones next to it, and asked Shi Lin.
At this moment, the thousand-pound brown bear had disappeared, and there were only a few big bones in its place.
The remaining bear meat and bones were nowhere to be found, and they were probably taken away by wild animals or hunters.
Uncle Niu’s cart was broken. There were traces of beasts biting it and people trampling on it.
I wonder which hunter was so idle that he deliberately destroyed the cart?
Shi Lin nodded and said, “It’s here. I met the big claw here before. They should have come here to fight the big claw in the mountains.”
In front, Zhao Tiezhu was also saying something similar to everyone.
Lin Xingbang and Li Shuisheng discussed and gathered everyone together.
Li Shuisheng said loudly to everyone:
“We are now deep in Daxing Mountain. This area is where the big claws have appeared. Everyone should be more vigilant.”
“Next, everyone should rest and eat something to replenish their energy. Then, according to the ten groups we divided into before entering the mountain, each choose a direction to search for Jin Ping and others.”
“Remember, you can’t shoot casually. You must see clearly before shooting whether the other party is a human or a beast. Remember it!”
“Next, ten captains will stay to choose the direction, and the team members can go to rest.”
When choosing the direction, Li Shuisheng and his team drew a circle on the ground, defined their current place as the center point, and divided the surrounding area into ten areas.
The relatively safe rear is the direction they came from. The divided area is very large. Only two teams are divided into the left rear and right rear to search, which is relatively safe.
Two teams are also sent to the left and right to search.
The remaining six teams are divided into the left front and right front.
Because the front is deeper in the mountains and more dangerous, more people are arranged, and the division of the area is reasonable.
Shi Lin was not in a hurry to choose a position, and let others choose first. In the end, everyone left him an area right in front.
Next to their team, the area right in front of the left is exactly the team led by Li Chungen.
After dividing the area, Lin Xingbang took out most of the sacks of firecrackers and detonators from the ox cart, and gave each of their team leaders a string of firecrackers and a thick detonator,
Let them findWhen someone arrives, firecrackers will be set off to notify everyone. Detonators are also used for notification and help.
Li Shuisheng told everyone to look for people in a certain area and not to run too far. At most, they should not be more than three kilometers away from their current location.
After talking about the precautions, everyone went to rest.
At this time, Zhao Dabao, Shi Yubo and Li Qinghu had already built a fire and were baking pancakes.
The other teams next to them were basically the same. Some teams baked by themselves, and some teams baked together.
When Shi Lin came back and was about to sit down and bake together, the sable came back from “collecting honey” again and brought back a crucian carp weighing about one pound that was frozen hard.
“Fuck, there is still fish?! Brother Linzi, give me this fish. My mother made me this bun with vegetables this morning, without meat.”
Seeing the sable bring back a fish, Shi Yubo said excitedly.
It takes a long time to grill meat until it is cooked, but it is different for grilling fish, which is much easier to grill than meat.
Shi Lin nodded, “Okay, if you want to eat it, then I’ll give it to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the big cat came back, dragging a mandarin fish weighing more than ten pounds, which was also frozen hard.
“Ah… Linzi, I came in a hurry this morning and took the wrong one. My pancake is not wrapped with anything…”
Zhao Dabao broke his pancake open to show Shi Lin, while his eyes were fixed on the big mandarin fish that the big cat had prepared.
Shi Lin rolled his eyes, “Then let’s eat this mandarin fish together.”
“Haha, I’ve been waiting for you to say this!”
Zhao Dabao laughed, took the knife from the sled, and reached out to take the big mandarin fish in the big cat’s mouth.
The big cat took the fish in its mouth, stepped back, and made a low warning sound.
“What?” Zhao Dabao looked at Shi Lin.
Shi Lin walked forward, took the big mandarin fish from the big cat’s mouth, touched the big cat’s head, and said with a smile:
“I didn’t do anything, why are you so impatient? Be careful that it will give you a claw.”
Zhao Dabao opened his mouth and said:
“I thought it had become familiar with me after sitting on the sled with me for a while. I didn’t expect it to be on guard against me?!”
“If it was so easy to become familiar with me, then my brother Linzi and these little guys would be stolen by others?” Shi Yubo rolled his eyes and said.
“Hehe, that’s true.”
Zhao Dabao smiled and took the big mandarin fish and started to process it.
Hu Zi and Shi Yujun also helped.
The three of them were very quick and in less than a minute, they cut the ten-pound big mandarin fish into six pieces, strung them with branches, and roasted them on the fire.
In just a few minutes, the aroma of the grilled fish began to spread.
What’s even more exciting is that Shi Yubo forgot to bring steamed buns with him this morning, so he asked his parents to bring steamed buns to Shi Lin’s house, but he actually brought salt and homemade chili powder.
Sprinkle some salt and chili powder on the grilled fish, and the smell…
Directly attracted the attention of everyone nearby.
Damn, everyone is eating steamed bread and pancakes here, and you guys are grilling fish? !
And it smells so good? !
