Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"Second father, you are back. Did you get anything?"

Lin Wei came to meet him as soon as Lin Heng walked near the camp.

"I caught a rabbit, Xiongba caught it, and I also dug eight or nine kilograms of Polygonatum." Lin Heng rubbed Lin Wei's round little head and said.

"Xiongba is so powerful?" Lin Wei looked at Xiongba in disbelief.

"Woof!" Xiongba looked at him dissatisfiedly, and his eyes were full of disdain, as if to say who you look down on, you are a freeloader.

When they returned to the camp, Lin Heng put down the backpack. When Lin Wei saw such a big rabbit, his eyes widened: "It's so big, Xiongba is too powerful."

He reached out to touch Xiongba, but Xiongba glanced at him with disdain and walked away.

"Let's kill this rabbit and freeze it in the stream to eat at night, otherwise it will go bad. Go pick up some dry firewood, and I will cook the internal organs for Xiongba later." Lin Heng said to his nephew while holding the rabbit.

"I'll go right away."

Lin Wei turned around and tried to run, but was pulled back by Lin Heng: "Wait a minute, help peel the rabbit skin first."

It was too troublesome to peel the rabbit skin by one person, so it was better for two people to pull it, and it would be faster for one person to peel it.

"Okay." Lin Wei was actually more interested in peeling the rabbit skin.

He took the knife and cut it from the rabbit's neck, and peeled the skin a little. Lin Wei pulled it with his hands, and Lin Heng scratched it with the knife. With the cooperation of the two, a rabbit skin was peeled off in a short while.

Lin Heng scraped the remaining meat on it and fed it to Xiongba. This guy ate it but still held his hand in his mouth and wouldn't let him go.

"Silly dog, you will have food later." Lin Heng took out his hand and patted its head.

Lin Wei went to pick up firewood. Lin Heng chopped off the rabbit's head, then cut open its intestines and cleaned it.

"Second father, give me the lighter and I'll make a fire." Lin Wei picked up the firewood and walked over and said.

"Take it out of your pocket." Lin Heng said.

He did not stop working. He cleaned the rabbit and found two big stones to press it in the water.

Surrounding the rabbit meat, Lin Heng used branches to set up a trap to catch fish. The rabbit meat here is the best bait. This time he made a bigger trap and caught more fish to avoid being out of meat when hunting.

It is impossible to starve. This time, rice and flour are enough.

"Second father, are you catching fish?" Lin Wei lit the fire and came over to ask curiously.

"Yes, you can do a few if you have nothing to do. But you have to remember that once the stream water is turbid, it is a sign of a flood upstream. Don't worry about anything and run immediately. Otherwise, you will never see us again."

"I'll remember it, second father, I promise not to mess around and not take a bath in the water." Lin Wei promised.

Lin Heng nodded, processed the rabbit intestines, and threw all the internal organs and rabbit heads into the pot to cook.

He rested here for a while, and took the opportunity to cut some hay to prepare a bed for the night.

"Here, eat it." Lin Heng poured the cooked rabbit head and internal organs on the stone for Xiongba.

"Woof~" Xiongba stuck out his tongue and waited for the temperature to drop.

The internal organs cooled quickly, and he started eating them soon, making smacking sounds in his mouth.

When he finished eating the internal organs, the rabbit head was also cold, and the terrifying bite force directly bit the rabbit head, and the poor rabbit head became a tool for grinding its teeth.

The cute rabbit not only lost its life, but also lost a piece of bone.

"Let's go." Seeing Xiongba finished eating, Lin Heng got up and set off again.

"Second father, I'll go with you." Lin Wei felt a little bored and wanted to follow Lin Heng.

"Yes, you can, but you have to be obedient, don't make loud noises, and you can only walk the road by yourself." Lin Heng glanced at him.

"Second father, don't worry." Lin Wei nodded and said.

Taking his nephew with him, Lin Heng set off with a backpack and a bow and arrow.

He actually had no hope of going to the forest where the musk deer were, and just wanted to try his luck by setting up a few devil cranes.

When they arrived, the situation was exactly as he expected. The two did not see a single squirrel along the way.

"Second father, there is prey feces here, which looks like sheep feces." Lin Wei whispered,

Lin Heng hurried over when he heard it. The black bean-shaped granular feces were very dark in color and a little moist.

"This is just excreted not long ago. If it is a long time, it will be grayish white after being dried by the wind, or it will rot directly."

Lin Heng glanced at Lin Wei. Is this the aura of a novice?

"Second father, what animal is this? Is it a muntjac?" Lin Wei was a little excited.

Lin Heng shook his head: "I'm not sure, it's probably a muntjac, but it could also be a musk deer."

After saying that, it patted Xiongba again: "Xiongba, it's up to you, try to track it."

"Awoo!"

Xiongba lowered his head and sniffed the feces, and searched on the road, but he lost his direction after walking a hundred meters and couldn't find it.

"I can only set a trap." Lin Heng shook his head, took out the rope and began to set up the Yama King's Crane.

Although Xiongba is smarter than ordinary dogs and has a more sensitive nose, that is also limited to the scope of dogs. It is impossible for him to become a divine beast and track everything.

Lin Heng arranged it, and Lin Wei helped and learned from him.

Five Yama King's Cranes were arranged on some small roads where footprints are often seen. Lin Heng searched a distance forward.

It was not yet noon when he came, and he searched until the sun was setting, about two or three o'clock.

During this period, he encountered two squirrels and a grouse. The squirrel turned around and ran away when he saw people, so there was no chance to fight; the grouse also flew away when people came, and did not give a chance to shoot.

I harvested five Ganoderma lucidum, six Astragalus, and two Astragalus, but nothing else.

"Go back, let's explore in the direction of Taibai Mountain."

Lin Heng shook his head and walked back with his tired nephew.

When I returned to the shelter, I didn't see Father Lin and his eldest brother returning. They must have gone far away to collect herbs.

"Do you want to come together?" Lin Heng turned to look at Lin Wei.

"Let's go together, otherwise the shelter won't be fun."

Contrary to Lin Heng's expectation, Lin Wei actually wanted to follow him.

"Then let's go." Lin Heng patted him on the shoulder and continued to set off with Lin Wei.

Along the stream, two people and one dog moved forward.

"This is too difficult, right? Second dad, I've been walking for another half an hour and still haven't found anything."

Lin Wei couldn't complain anymore, why is hunting so difficult?

"Take your time." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He was not in a hurry. Whenever he saw traces of prey on the road, he would set up a rope trap or a trap.

If he didn't have the memory of his previous life now, he would definitely be extremely anxious.

But he had experienced everything in his previous life, and his mentality had been tempered. Some things couldn't be rushed, and there was no point in being anxious.

Step by step, work steadily, and you will definitely gain something in the end.

Fortunately, it was quite cool in the forest and the sun was out of reach. The scenery of the primeval forest filled Lin Heng with the joy of exploring.

From time to time, he can also pick up Ganoderma lucidum, Phellinus linteus and other fungi, which is good for Lin Heng.

But for Lin Wei, who was only five years old, it was too disappointing. He couldn't even see a prey for a long time. It was really no fun at all.

"Second father, wild duck!!"

Suddenly Lin Wei grabbed Lin Heng, pointed at the water pool in the distance and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Good guy."

Lin Heng was looking for fungi and didn't notice it. When Lin Wei said something, he noticed it.

In a large long strip of water pool measuring 70 to 80 square meters in the distance, five or six wild ducks were catching fish in the water. They had green hair and red necks, and they were all quite big.

Lin Heng gently put down his backpack and went over with his bow and arrow. He was now four to five hundred meters away from the edge of the stream and had to approach slowly.

However, the wild ducks in the deep mountains were obviously low on vigilance and did not notice anyone approaching at all.

Lin Heng groped along and soon came to an excellent location, more than 20 meters away from the wild ducks and covered by reeds.

Lin Heng waited quietly as he nocked an arrow onto his bow. He wanted to wait for an excellent opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

"Buzz!!"

But a damn mosquito landed on his tiger's mouth and sucked blood, and he couldn't blow it away with his mouth.

"Oh shit!"

Putting away his bow and arrows, Lin Heng crushed the damn mosquito into mincemeat.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, his hands and feet were bitten by mosquitoes and midges several times, Lin Heng finally got an opportunity.

"quack!!"

A little duck caught a piece of Huanghuangxi grouper that was more than ten centimeters long. The grouper was too big for it to eat, so it held it in its mouth. The fish scales sparkled in the sunlight, attracting several ducks nearby to come over and fight for it. .

Lin Heng nocked the arrow, aimed for three seconds, and then shot out.

The black arrow, the light yellow arrow body, and the red tail feathers made of golden rooster feathers draw a beautiful curve in the air, reflecting charming light in the sun.

With a pop, the sharp arrows penetrated two wild ducks one after another and scratched the third one.

“Quack quack!!!”

After a while, the other ducks flapped their wings and flew away.

One of them seemed to have an injured wing and couldn't fly, so it was running wildly.

"Woof woof!!"

Xiongba's eyes were shining, he couldn't fly anymore and he still wanted to run? He immediately chased after him.

"Zhou Cao, Second Dad, you kill two birds with one stone, you are so powerful."

Lin Wei exclaimed and rushed over. He was even more excited than he was when he caught the prey himself, and ran to Lin Heng's side.

"Haha, when you grow up, I will teach you bow and arrow." Lin Heng patted his shoulder and said with a smile, but when he grows up, hunting will probably be banned.

"Okay, second daddy."

Lin Wei nodded fiercely, looked at the two wild ducks in the blood-stained pool, raised his head and said, "Second father, let me go into the water to pick up the ducks for you."

"No need, Xiongba is here."

Lin Heng looked into the distance. The injured wild duck was also caught by the bully and had been bitten to death.

"Too fierce!"

Lin Wei said in shock, Xiong Ba's ears stood up, his eyes were like those of a wolf.

"Well done, go and pick out the ducks in the pond."

Lin Heng took the duck, rubbed its head, pointed at the pool and said.

"Ouch!!"

Xiong Ba nuzzled Lin Heng, stuck out his tongue and swam in to pick up the duck.

"This little one is probably only half a catty after killing it." Lin Heng said, lifting the duck in his hand.

"Those two are big, they must weigh four or five pounds, right?" Lin Wei took them over and looked at them, then pointed at the ducks in the pool and said.

Lin Heng shook his head: "No, the big one is estimated to be two kilograms, and the smaller one is just over a kilogram. The largest wild duck is just over two kilograms, and it won't grow very big."

In fact, wild duck meat is not that delicious, it is all oily, but I didn’t catch any prey today, so I don’t have the right to be picky.

It’s good to have meat. Taking it home and making a roast duck should be enough for four people to enjoy themselves at night.

Not long after, Xiongba brought the duck to Lin Heng and weighed it in his hands. He estimated that the second one was lighter than he said, not even a pound.

Showing the duck to Lin Wei, Lin Heng turned around and walked back.

"It's OK today. I hope this is the beginning, not the end." Lin Heng sighed.

"There will definitely be more and more. Second Dad, I admire you so much." Lin Wei is now full of confidence again.

Putting the duck into the backpack, Lin Heng shook his head and smiled: "Let's go. We have to keep moving forward and set traps. We still have to rely on traps in summer."

"Second Dad, lend me your slingshot to play with." Lin Wei said with a smile.

"Okay, don't break it for me." Lin Heng handed the slingshot on his waist to his nephew.

On the way, Lin Wei became active again, shooting birds in the bushes by the water with a slingshot.

But his aim was not very good. After Lin Heng taught him several times, it was still a little crooked. There is no way. This thing requires some talent, and it is obvious that Lin Wei's talent is average.

However, he couldn't stand the high frequency. After dozens of shots, he finally hit an unlucky green-bearded croaker.

Looking at the bird that was hit, Lin Wei wanted to shout loudly, but he remembered Lin Heng's words and quickly covered his mouth.

"Not bad." Lin Heng praised with a smile.

Lin Wei was excited for a while, looked at Xiongba and said: "Can you pick some for me too?"

"Woo~"

Xiongba didn't even look at it, it was too small, and he didn't give it food, so he had no interest in picking it up.

Lin Wei had no choice but to run and pick it up himself.

After shooting the wild duck, he walked for another two or three hours. He saw many traces of prey on the road, but he didn't find any prey. Lin Heng set traps one by one.

He picked up some mushrooms. This place was humid, and there were shiitake mushrooms. He picked up one or two kilograms. In addition, he harvested three Ganoderma lucidum and dug one or two kilograms of Astragalus.

He looked at the sky. The sun was setting sharply, but there was no red glow yet. He estimated that it was only four or five o'clock, and he could explore further.

"Second father, do you still need to move forward?" Lin Wei was tired of hunting birds.

"Of course, hunting requires running around." Lin Heng said with a smile.

In this area, there are more fallen trees. Many big trees that cannot be hugged by one person have fallen to the ground and rotted. There are rotten wood as thick as an adult's thigh everywhere.

There are many tea tree mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms on it. Lin Heng is very happy to pick them up.

After walking a few hundred meters, Lin Heng suddenly froze and rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe what he saw.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect that I could encounter this."

Lin Heng was shocked. Whether in this life or the last life, he had only seen other people post pictures on the Internet. He had never encountered this scene.

I saw hundreds of brown and yellow shiitake mushrooms growing densely on a fallen tree not far away. Is it sure that someone didn't spread the fungus here?

"Oh my God, can the mushrooms of Second Dad be eaten?" Lin Wei was originally dejected, but he widened his eyes after seeing so many mushrooms.

"Yes, of course, this is a wild mushroom. Not only can it be eaten, but it is also very delicious." Lin Heng couldn't close his mouth with a smile. It was really thanks to his efforts, otherwise he might have missed it.

Don't talk about the next time, who knows if he will come here next time.

He picked a big one and looked at it. It was all good, with almost no worm holes. It seemed that it came out after the recent rain.

Lin Heng really wanted to take this tree home now, but it was too far from home. Otherwise, he would put it at the door and pick some every time it rained.

"Help pick it up, pick big and small, don't keep it." Lin Heng said while taking out the snake skin bag from the backpack.

This time he believed it. It was really possible to encounter such a mushroom tree in the wild. He used to think it was a dog's help. It was too fake. He had never encountered it.

After this time, he believed it.

It's a pity that there is no mobile phone. Lin Heng sighed secretly while picking mushrooms. Otherwise, he must take a video and send it to every friend. When he meets people, he will talk about encountering a mushroom tree.

After calming down, the two of them picked up the mushrooms for ten minutes, and the snakeskin bag was filled with more than half of it.

"It must be 20 to 30 kilograms." Lin Heng grinned. This is really good luck.

"Second father, we are rich. Do we still want to move forward?" Lin Wei asked excitedly.

Lin Heng looked at the sky. The sun told him that it was time to go home. Even if he walked along the stream in a straight line, it would take more than an hour to go back.

But Lin Heng couldn't help it: "Let's take a look. Maybe there are still mushroom trees like this."

It's a common problem for fishermen. If you catch a big fish, you always have to keep two more rods.

After walking more than 500 meters forward, they picked up four or five mushrooms. Going forward, even the fallen trees and rotten wood became less.

"It seems that there is no hope. Let's go back." Lin Heng shook his head and finally gave up.

Walking back with his nephew, Lin Heng wanted to walk faster, but Lin Yue's legs hurt and he couldn't walk.

He didn't feel anything when he was excited before, but he started to hurt on the way back.

Lin Heng had no choice but to take him for a walk and stop, looking around for prey.

But it seemed that his luck had run out. He didn't find any prey worth hunting until dusk when he returned to the camp.

Lin's father and his friends had already come back to reinforce the shelter, and the hammock grass was laid out. Now they were cooking.

"You are finally back, why are you so slow? Is Lin Wei holding you back again?" Lin Yue saw the flashlight and came to greet him.

"Dad, carry me, I can't walk anymore." Lin Wei climbed onto his father's back.

Lin Heng smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. Maybe it's because Lin Wei is here today. I'm very lucky."

"Yes, Dad, we have a great harvest today." Lin Wei couldn't wait to show off.

Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng: "Did you dig up some valuable herbs? It can't be ginseng, right?"

There was no sign of large prey in their hands or in their backpacks, and he couldn't figure out what other good things there could be.

"I'll show you when we get back to the camp." Lin Heng said with a smile, keeping it a secret.

The main thing is that I'll have to say it again later.

When they got back to the camp, Lin Heng sat down, put the backpack in front of his father and eldest brother, and said with a smile: "Everything we harvested today is in it. Today's luck is really good."

"What is it?" He took out the snakeskin bag and opened it first.

"Are these all mushrooms?" Lin's father's voice suddenly became high-pitched. He thought it was filled with herbs.
