Chapter 67 Are you the Mountain God's biological son? [5,000 words]
Even if Lin Heng didn't deliberately show off, he still met a lot of people along the way.
Not far away from Tongshugou, Xiongba called again.
"Lin Heng, you beat... a muntjac again??"
Not far away, Tian Baishun, an old man who got up early to hunt, saw Lin Heng and wanted to say hello.
Suddenly he saw the yellow muntjac in the basket on his back. He was stunned and his voice rose several decibels.
"Am I excited? Or am I hallucinating??"
Tian Baishun pinched himself, he couldn't believe that Lin Heng could hit such a big muntjac.
"It's normal for Air Force guys to hallucinate."
Lin Heng laughed and walked over quickly with Xiulan without saying anything.
Tian Baishun: "..."
Although I don't know what the air force man means, but judging from the tone, he is definitely mocking himself.
"Wait a minute, where did you fight?"
Tian Baishun swallowed his breath and ran over to ask. He really wanted to know. It was really hard to find the traces of summer prey.
"Where else could it be in the mountains? It should be easy to find an old hunter like me."
Lin Heng said without looking back.
Tian Baishun: "..."
"Tell me, and I'll repay you with a grouse." Even if he was angry, he could only swallow it.
He really wanted to know, and he felt a little regretful for looking down on and deliberately teasing Lin Heng before.
Originally, he looked down on Lin Heng's skills and thought he was treating hunting as a joke.
Now it seems that I am a joke, this person's technology is too awesome.
A pig badger or a muntjac in half a month, who can compare?
After glancing at Lin Heng, Tian Baishun turned around and chased him out, wanting to know where Lin Heng was beating the muntjac.
They kept asking, but it was impossible for Lin Heng to tell, and this guy didn't have the shame to keep asking with a smile.
Many people were working in the fields and didn't notice Lin Heng, but he knew everything after he made such a fuss.
The uncle of the Wang family was weeding peanuts and grass in the field. When he heard the noise and got up to take a look, he was shocked and couldn't help but rub his eyes.
"Such a big muntjac?"
He muttered to himself, somewhat in disbelief.
Walking through the bamboo forest, Lin Heng saw Yang Zhaotao setting a trap and shouted with a smile: "Is there anything gained?"
This guy deliberately placed the wooden pillar so far away to embarrass him, but he has not forgotten it.
Seeing Lin Heng, Yang Zhaotao smiled and picked up a bamboo rat next to him, and said with a smile: "Look, it's not bad, only a pound or two."
"It's pretty good." Lin Heng chuckled and said, "I also had one. It's not big, only forty or fifty pounds."
As he spoke, he turned sideways and exposed the yellow muntjac.
The smile on Yang Zhaotao's face suddenly froze, and his eyes began to widen, gradually turning into unbelievable shock.
Then it turned into jealousy and envy, and finally he forced a smile: "Awesome, where did you get it? Doesn't it weigh forty or fifty pounds?"
He felt so uncomfortable, just like you caught a three-pound big carp and were showing off, but someone came with a ten-pound grass carp, and his smile suddenly disappeared.
But the smile would not disappear, it just moved to Lin Heng's face. He glanced at Tian Baishun who was chasing after him, and smiled shyly: "The fight was on the mountain last night."
After saying that, he took Xiulan and left, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
But Yang Zhaotao was no longer in the mood to set up a trap, and followed Lin Heng, wanting to see him deal with the muntjac.
When Lin Heng returned home, there were four or five people following him, all of whom were relatively idle and wanted to watch him kill the muntjac.
If you can't hit it, you can just get addicted to it.
Just like a fisherman, if you can't catch any fish, you just hide at home and watch fishing videos, which can be considered a sense of participation.
Lin's father, Lin Xuan, and his eldest son, Lin Yue, were setting up drainage ditches outside their new house when they suddenly saw a group of people coming down the back hill.
"It's Lin Heng and Xiulan!"
Lin Yue had sharp eyes and could recognize him from afar.
Father Lin was a little worried and confused: "Why are so many people following? Did something happen?"
After all, the two of them didn't come back last night, which was really worrying.
"Let's go over and help. It shouldn't be a big deal. Both of them are walking." Lin Yue guessed.
Immediately, the father and son put down their hoes and walked over to greet him.
"Lin Heng, you haven't been back all night, are you okay?" Lin's father asked quickly when he walked up to Lin Heng.
"Lin Xuan, congratulations. Your son is a great man. Your family will make a fortune again today."
Before Lin Heng could speak, Tian Baishun rushed to speak.
"Huh? What's going on? Did you catch another prey?" Father Lin was stunned.
"Or did you find something good?" Lin Yue's eyes widened.
"It's a muntjac. It weighs forty or fifty pounds. Quickly catch it. I can't carry it anymore." Lin Heng turned around and motioned to his father to catch the basket.
"Forty or fifty pounds!!"
"So big!!"
Both of them were stunned. Looking at the yellow muntjac in the basket, they felt a little dreamy and even forgot to pick up the basket.
"dad!"
Lin Heng shouted again.
"Oh, let go."
Only then did Father Lin come to his senses, and when he took the muntjac, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Xiulan, give me your backpack." Lin Yue's heart was beating with excitement. This brother is too powerful, a big muntjac weighing forty or fifty pounds.
"No."
Xiulan shook her head. She didn't want the old turtles and Ganoderma lucidum in the basket to be discovered by outsiders like Tian Baishun. She had no choice but to hide them if she could.
So she didn't say much along the way, and everyone was attracted by the deer. They didn't notice that the total value of the things she was carrying was no less than that of the deer.
"All right."
Lin Yue didn't force it either.
Father Lin carried Muntjac on his back, and a large group of people came to the courtyard of the Lin family's old house.
"What's wrong?"
At this moment, Uncle Lin Heng was helping to make benches in the yard. Seeing so many people, he stood up out of curiosity.
"Muntjac! Did Lin Heng beat him?"
Before anyone could say anything, uncle Lu Honghai saw it himself.
"Haha, yes, I was picking up mushrooms. I was lucky enough to hear the cry." Lin Heng smiled shyly.
Then he took his wife directly back to the house: "I'm going to get weighed."
After the two entered the house, they put the backpacks directly in the bedroom. No outsiders could enter this place.
"You take a rest first, and then take it out after people leave." Lin Heng looked at his wife and said.
"You go ahead, I just want to change my clothes." Xiulan nodded. She was not someone who liked to show off.
Lin Heng walked into the yard with a steel scale. When Caiyun saw him, his eyes suddenly widened: "Second brother, you are so powerful, you actually hit such a big muntjac."
In the past, I had only heard that hunters in the village often caught prey, and I was always envious. She never thought that one day such a thing would happen to her family.
Not just her, the entire Lin family felt this way.
"Awesome!" Carpenter Liang gave Lin Heng a thumbs up. He was completely impressed. This young man was really good at hunting.
"Fortunately, it's luck." Lin Heng said modestly.
These words made Tian Baishun and others feel uncomfortable, and they even wanted to give Lin Heng a try. You guys have such good luck every day, right?
"Let's weigh him."
Lin Heng hung the muntjac by its hind legs, lifted it up with his father, and gave him a high praise.
"25, 26, 27 kilograms, fifty-four kilograms, not bad."
Looking at the scale, Lin Heng showed his snow-white teeth.
Father Lin also smiled happily and patted Lin Heng on the shoulder: "Awesome."
"Dad, please help me deal with it quickly, otherwise it will break. I ordered it after eight o'clock last night."
Lin Heng said with a smile that he was satisfied when he saw his father's pleased expression.
"Okay, sit down and rest quickly, your brother and I will kill you." Father Lin nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, let's come. Just watch. I'll make sure the skin is completely peeled off for you."
The eldest brother Lin Yue nodded repeatedly, feeling sincerely proud of his brother. He no longer had to worry that his brother and Xiulan would not be able to live together after the separation.
Lin Heng sat down to drink tea, and Tian Baishun and the others also sat down. If they don't leave, you can't drive them away.
"If you don't tell me where I got the call, why don't you tell me how I got the call from the head office?" Tian Baishun looked at Lin Heng and said.
"Yeah, tell me." Others quickly agreed, very interested in this.
"There's nothing to say..."
Lin Heng told the general story, but this time he didn't brag too much, and there was no need.
Tian Baishun was an old hunter. When he heard it, he knew that Lin Heng was not lying. He sighed and said, "You are really capable. If you don't choose to stay, I dare say that the muntjac will run away."
"Yes, the best way to fight muntjac is to guard, or to touch from the downwind." Uncle Lu Honghai nodded and acknowledged Lin Heng's skills.
After saying that, his uncle turned to look at him again: "It seems that we can catch something in these two days. Let's go hunting together in a few days."
"Okay, wait until there is time." Faced with his uncle's second invitation, Lin Heng couldn't refuse anymore.
"Take me with you, and we will take care of you together." Tian Baishun also said quickly.
In his opinion, Lin Heng is now in the novice protection period. If he is lucky, he may gain a lot by working with him.
"Okay, but Mr. Tian, please stop making small moves." Lin Heng looked at him and said.
"You are insulting me, old man. I already told you that there was an accident that day." The old guy refused to admit it and was very shameless.
Then everyone started chatting, and Tian Baishun was the best at talking about all the deeds he had done in the mountains over the years. This was one of his great hobbies.
A few people were chatting, while Father Lin and his eldest brother Lin Yue were killing the muntjac.
Under the hands of the two of them, the suede skin was peeled off in a short time, and it was a large piece of skin that was more than one square meter.
"This fur is so beautiful, I won't have any problem selling it for one hundred and twenty." Lin Yue said while continuing to process the minced meat on the fur.
"Don't tell me, the fur of the prey killed with a bow and arrow is just beautiful." Tian Baishun came over and touched the fur and said.
The leather was smooth and supple, with almost no damage except for a small hole from an arrow wound.
When they shoot with shotguns, there are often many wounds, and some of the furs are burned by gunpowder. When they sell them, the prices are often reduced.
But there is no such thing as killing with bows and arrows. The old man who saw it wanted to buy a bow and arrow and give it a try.
"One hundred and two, it's enough for me to earn for a year." Yang Zhaotao also sighed with emotion, why was he not so lucky?
"Why are there so many people?"
At this time, Mother Lin and sister-in-law Liu Juan came back from working in the fields. They were a little surprised that there were so many people in the family.
When he looked again, he was stunned in place.
"Is this muntjac big? Fifty-four pounds." Father Lin said with a smile.
"Lin Heng hunted alone?" Mother Lin's eyes widened. Has hunting become easier? Why has Lin Heng gained so much recently?
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have peeled it off at our house." Lin Heng replied with a smile.
Mother Lin took a deep look at Lin Heng and said only two words: "Awesome!"
"How long will this take?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan looked at it for a long time and could only hold back one sentence.
She is already thinking about how to avoid separation.
Although they are not separated into different families, these furs still belong to Lin Heng alone. The Lin family has always owned things who get them.
But at least you can eat meat every day. If your family is divided, you can't just come to eat and drink at home, right?
After the skin was peeled off, Father Lin began to process the internal organs. Even after one night, these were not damaged.
I left the muntjac lung to Xiong Ba and took care of the rest.
"Sell me the muntjac liver, I like to eat it." Mr. Tian said looking at the muntjac liver.
"Okay, three yuan." Lin Heng chuckled.
"You're robbing, the maximum is one dollar and a half." Tian Baishun's eyes widened, thinking to himself, you are so evil, boy.
"I'm just kidding, I won't sell it. My dad also likes to eat it, so I'll keep it for him." Lin Heng chuckled.
After taking a sip of water, Lin Heng added, "You can sell ten kilograms of meat. Pork costs seventy cents per catty. I don't need much for muntjac meat, it only costs one yuan per catty."
There is so much meat, even if the internal organs, fur, and head are removed, it still weighs more than thirty kilograms.
"Then let me buy a pound of meat and try it." Old Man Tian continued.
No one else dared to answer the conversation. If they were rich, they wouldn't eat meat only once a month. They could only watch helplessly.
"I'm not going to look at it anymore. We still need to remove the peanut grass." Yang Zhaotao made an excuse and left. If he looked at it again, he was afraid that he would rush up and chew it.
The others also stood up and left. After going out, they were extremely envious of Lin Heng and Old Man Tian. One was rich, the other was rich, and they both could afford meat.
"What are you talking about? Mr. Tian, where does your meat come from?"
On the way home, Li Ping and Lin Xuping, who were carrying hoes, looked at a group of people walking across from them and asked curiously.
"Congratulations to you guys. Lin Heng shot a yellow muntjac weighing more than 50 kilograms. He is really lucky. You guys will definitely get some meat." Yang Zhaotao said with a smile, somewhat sarcastically.
"What, a giant muntjac weighing more than fifty pounds?" Li Ping opened her mouth wide.
"Is it true?" Lin Xuping didn't believe it. His idle nephew was so awesome?
A few days ago, they had searched everywhere and heard nothing about the pig badger, which made the two of them still unable to accept that it was Lin Heng who had beaten him.
Then you suddenly told me that he had hit a 50-pound giant muntjac again?
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Tian Baishun shook the meat in his hand and said with a smile: "This can still be fake. I just bought it. It is all lean meat. There is no doubt that it is a muntjac."
Watching the expressions of the two people gradually solidify, these people became happy again, because they suddenly discovered that there were people who were suffering more than themselves.
On this day, Lin Heng's eldest father and aunt didn't know how to walk back home. They were in a state of despair for the next week.
…
In the Lin family's yard, the family looked at the red, almost fatless muntjac meat and didn't know what they were thinking.
"You can eat open at noon today, brother?" Caiyun drooled looking at the muntjac meat.
"Eat it open, fry it in a big pot, it's delicious." Lin Heng chuckled.
Mother Lin looked at the meat and said, "It would be a sign of gratitude to cut two or three kilograms of meat into pieces and send them to your third father and uncle.
Otherwise we won’t be able to finish it ourselves, and the weather won’t hold it together. "
"That's a good idea. Let's marinate it with salt and deliver it tomorrow." There's so much meat to eat anyway, and the bacon without fat from the muntjac meat doesn't taste good either.
After saying that, Lin Heng walked over again and locked the courtyard door.
"What are you doing?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan didn't understand.
"Xiulan, please take out the things in the basket." Lin Heng shouted. Carpenter Liang had also gone to work on the new house. The only people here were the Lin family and his uncle.
"Is there anything else?" Everyone was shocked.
"What is it? You have to wait until someone leaves and close the door before taking it out?" Mother Lin didn't understand.
"You'll find out later." Lin Heng went to get two bamboo mats.
Xiulan took out the backpack, and everyone looked over curiously.
Seeing Xiulan taking out the fungi to dry, Liu Juan was a little confused: "It's just some fungi... red Ganoderma lucidum, so many red Ganoderma lucidum!"
Before she finished speaking, her mouth opened a little bit as flashes of red color appeared.
"Good guys, I just told you to close the door. You went up the mountain this time to worship the mountain god, right?" Father Lin took a deep breath and called him.
"Are you going to buy some goods?" Mother Lin was also shocked. Not to mention other fungi, this Ganoderma lucidum weighed more than a pound and could be sold for forty or fifty yuan when dried.
Lin Heng chuckled: "This is nothing, look at this."
Lin Heng threw the weasel aside and took out a hidden giant turtle.
"Damn, such a big old turtle!"
Stop talking, everyone can't close their legs.
"Aren't you worshiping the mountain god? You are the mountain god's biological son." His uncle, who had always been calm, couldn't help it at this time.
"No wonder you have to lock the door, it must be locked." Mother Lin didn't know what to say. She went back to the mountains and made two or three hundred dollars. Is it really so easy to make money?
"Hehe, this is really good luck."
Lin Heng chuckled. Apart from the good luck in meeting the muntjac this time, it was really not about anything else, especially the Ganoderma lucidum. It was all thanks to the hidden sword Xiongba.
The old turtle did it deliberately. When he caught the creek grouper, he thought that there might be an old turtle in it, and night was a good time to catch the turtle.
In general, it is still the longest to rely on Xiongba to find mountain delicacies. No wonder the old hunter made a fortune with Xiongba in the previous life.
However, he and Xiulan decided to keep this matter secret and not tell anyone. Everyone knows that Xiongba is so powerful. What should we do if he always borrows dogs?
In fact, it doesn’t matter if we borrow dogs. We are all family.
But there are many people and many mouths. If we let it slip, others will be jealous and poison Xiongba, then it will be over.
Or if other relatives know about it and come to borrow dogs, should we borrow them or not?
So we decided to keep it secret for the time being.
Sister-in-law Liu Juan was a little at a loss. This family really didn’t want to split up.
Caiyun was holding Xiaoxia and watching from the side. Before, the second brother said that he would make a lot of money to send her to school, but she didn’t believe it. Now she believes it. The second brother is so powerful.
Xiulan spread the mushrooms to dry, feeling happy. Her life with Lin Heng is getting better and better.
After raising the turtle in the wooden barrel, Lin Heng opened the door and went to find Carpenter Liang. He wanted to make a flowerpot and plant the pine tree he had dug.
