Dai Min and Xiao Lin stayed in the shack to deal with the prey. They quickly lifted the wolf up and cut it from its chin to its anus. The force of the knife should penetrate the skin but not damage the internal organs. Then make a circumferential cut on the four legs, from the incision to the abdomen, and connect it with the first cut. Finally, start from the beginning, holding the skin with one hand and using a skinning knife with the other to slowly cut open the fascia between it and the meat. You must be careful at this time otherwise the leather will be easily scratched. After a while, they peeled off the skin. They tied the skin with string around the circumference, tightened it on all sides and fixed it on the temporary wooden frame, so that the skin could be stretched as much as possible. Then use wood chips to carefully scrape off the grease on the leather, and finally use hay to carefully rub the leather again. The leather is basically processed and just waits for it to dry and shape.
Grandpa and the others decided to look for the more expensive big clip first. They had to be careful when looking for this. Because it is covered with snow, if you accidentally step on it, the consequences will be disastrous. The big clamp was placed by Baoguo, who was responsible for walking in front. When he came to the approximate location and marked position in his memory, he carefully used a stick to continuously test it. Until you hear a "pop" sound, pull out the stick and the clip will come out. After Baoguo took out the stick, Grandpa and Dai Jun dug out the iron drill holding the clamp. Baoguo kept searching in front. Fortunately, the big clips covered a large area, so he did not encounter many obstacles in searching, and there were not many clips. It took about an hour to find about 10 or 20 big clips. The clip is heavy, so if you want to protect the country, you should first carry the clip and send it back to the shack.
Dai Jun and Grandpa were left to continue looking for the small clip. Small clips are only a little larger and much more difficult to find. Grandpa said: "This is not easy to find. Let's first look for the location that you remember more clearly or the location that you marked more clearly. If you can't find the others, forget it." Although it was more difficult to find, I finally found some by memory. There was a clip at the entrance of a cave with higher terrain that was not covered by snow. There was a yellow leather clipper. The clamp just caught Huangpizi's front legs. Huangpizi kept jumping in pain and trying to get free, and screamed "Zhizhi". Judging from his strength, he must have just put on the harness, and he wanted to drill into the hole again when he saw someone coming. Dai Jun's quick eyesight and quick hands stepped on it, then tapped it on the head with a stick and sent it away.
Dai Jun was proudly putting the yellow skins into the bag when he suddenly saw a group of about twenty or thirty yellow skins, who appeared from nowhere. They squeaked and ran towards a larger hole next to them. They filed in without paying attention to the two of them, except for the yellow skin with a tuft of white hair on its abdomen at the end. Dai Jun shouted happily: "Haha, I'm rich! Grandpa held down the excited Dai Jun and said, "Let's go, we don't need the remaining clips." Dai Jun felt something was wrong and hurriedly followed his grandfather back.
He quietly breathed a sigh of relief until he reached the shack. Grandpa said: "It's too evil here. Those guys just seemed to be rushing to a meeting!" Let's pack up and leave this hellish place." At this time, Dai Min and the others had roasted the pork and some wolf meat on the fire for a long time. Everyone was eating the meat while packing up. Grandpa looked at the stretched skins and was very satisfied. He went up and touched the shiny fox skin and said, "Let's go around in a circle and go back! With these pieces of leather, it happened to be snowing heavily, so it wouldn’t be a shame to go back! "After packing up, everyone took off the leather and rolled it up carefully, put one piece in each person's bag, and continued to set off.
The snow didn't melt much, but it became extremely soft. When you step on it, you don't know how deep it is. The reflection of the snow makes your eyes They couldn't open it, so they kept the front tongue of their Lei Feng hats as low as possible to block part of the reflected sunlight from entering their eyes. They also had to try to avoid places with big trees, because melting ice would fall from the trees and hurt people. In this way, everyone headed westward against the sun.These hunters in Linhai Snowfield are exploring towards unknown places. They seem so small and insignificant in the vast snowfield, but their faith and belief are enough for them to face any hardships!
We walked and walked like this, until we were exhausted and the sun was about to set. "We can't go any further. Let's find a place to camp first if the snow is not cold and the snow is cold!" They looked around and found that there was a large meadow surrounded by mountains in front of them. Clumps of withered wormwood lay staggering in the snow. It was almost a small grassland overgrown with grass. The meadow was dotted with many large and small puddles. At first glance, it was a paradise for herbivores. Look at the surrounding mountains, which are full of acorn trees, pine trees and other nut-producing tree species. This environment is suitable for small squirrels to hide food and for wild boars to forage under the trees. It is simply an excellent hunting ground for carnivores.
They found a flat spot with sparse trees and a better view to camp. Cut down a small tree, cut off the branches and leaves, tie them horizontally between two trees, put plastic on top, and press the two sides with soil, and you can create a simple shack in an instant! Just as they were preparing to light a fire to cook, they suddenly heard a "whooshing" sound coming from far away. Everyone's first reaction was to get the gun that was leaning against the tree. After not taking two steps, they saw the leading wild boar rushing in front of them. Xiao Lin, who was walking at the back, couldn't get out of the way. The wild boar rushed past between his legs. Xiao Lin was hit by the wild boar and fell on the back of the wild boar. He was taken far away and fell into the snow. Baoguo acted quickly. He quickly pulled the bolt, loaded the primer, and fired randomly at the rushing pigs. The herd of wild boars were frightened by the sudden gunfire and made an emergency turn and disappeared into the dim woods. These wild boars were obviously running for their lives.
Looking not far away, there were indeed a few wolves chasing the pigs. When the wolves saw the hunters and heard the deafening gunshots, they ignored the wild boars and turned around and disappeared into the jungle. Everyone was overwhelmed by this sudden scene. I quickly went over to check Xiaolin's injuries. Fortunately, the wild boar rushed under Xiaolin's crotch and did not cause much damage. It was just that he was picked up too high and fell into the snow nest , which was a bit blurry. It took him a long time to recover.
Everyone who had experienced too many things was not intimidated by the scene just now. Instead, they felt extremely excited. It seemed that they could do something big. It has been so long since we came out, and everyone wants to complete the task as soon as possible and go home early to have a warm bed with his wife and children. Grandpa said: "We should have good luck this time. Look at this environment, it is like a safari park ! Let's have a good night's rest and try to fight a good fight tomorrow. But I don't know if the wolf will dare to come after the shot we just fired." Everyone ate barbecue and gathered around the fire, thinking about tomorrow's harvest. They were almost drunk before they realized it. Baoguo, who has always been taciturn, spoke up this time. He said: "The sun has set and the sky is going to change." Everyone was stunned when they heard his voice. This was clearly not Baoguo's voice! Why does this voice sound so sharp and harsh, as if it is said with a pinched throat. Looking at Baoguo, his eyes were dull, but a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. (To be continued)
