Chapter 347: Set up camp and make a move with Jin Yu
~.-~ The leopard ball was thrown away by the hare. He felt that he had been teased. He was furious. He screamed and turned around with all his strength to chase after him.
The hare was obviously an experienced player. It was not only nimble and agile, but also very familiar with the terrain in this area. After performing several unique tricks, it quickly jumped into a dense grass nest and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Leopard Ball did not give up yet. It twitched its nose vigorously, trying to use its keen sense of smell to continue looking for traces of the hare.
"Leopard Ball, come back!" Li Youran saw that the situation was over and shouted loudly. It is not advisable to go too deep into the grass. Something unexpected might happen.
Leopard Ball heard his master's call and barked twice reluctantly in the direction of the rabbit's escape. Then he trotted back.
Alas. Everyone sighed with regret.
"Woooo." Leopard Ball returned to Li Youran, his head drooped and his tail tucked up, looking downcast.
"Okay, this is the first time. Lack of experience is normal. Just practice more in the future." Li Youran knelt down and reached out to stroke Leopard Ball's head, comforting him.
Huzi and Li Fangcheng also came over and encouraged Leopard Ball to stop being discouraged.
Jin Yu stood on the backpack and suddenly raised his head and let out two clear calls. He seemed to be very disdainful of Leopard Ball's performance just now.
"Well, of course, that's it for Leopard Ball. How about Big Bird?" Fatty Luo expressed his concern about the problem of good taste.
"Why are you so anxious? You will know when Jin Yu takes action." Li Youran was very confident in Jin Yu. After all, this was a wild golden eagle. It goes without saying that he was very skilled.
After the small episode, everyone packed up their backpacks and continued on their way.
During the lunch break, we first had some spicy cold noodles and bread brought from the bun shop. The highlight was the dinner after setting up the campsite.
We plan to find a suitable place to camp in the afternoon. We will do some activities near the camp. We will collect materials to prepare a campfire dinner. Then we will have a good sleep. We will climb the main peak of Lingfeng Mountain tomorrow morning.
Gradually, we entered a dense forest again. The mountain road became more and more difficult to walk. Not only was it uneven, but there were also a large number of weeds and thorns as high as a person's height that interfered with the view.
Li Youran asked Fatty Luo to stand back. He was holding a newly purchased machete to clear the way. This and the large saber that Huzi took just now are controlled knives. They were purchased by an acquaintance in the logistics department.
I saw that his technique was accurate, quick, clean and effortless. After the blade light passed by, thorns and weeds flew to both sides. The seemingly pathless front suddenly became clearer.
When Fatty Luo saw this, he praised him and praised him as a good person who opened the way.
Huzi and Fang Cheng were even more envious.
After passing through this dense forest, we turned downhill and came to the valley. A small river appeared in front of us. The water was very shallow. There were large meadows on the bank. Since the temperature here was higher than on the top of the mountain, most of the wild grasses were still green.
There are many wild flowers dotted here. Red, white, blue and purple. Scattered like stars.
"This place is nice. It's flat and leeward. Let's camp here." Fatty Luo observed the surrounding environment and made a suggestion.
Li Youran looked at it and thought it was quite suitable. Then he nodded in agreement.
We found a piece of flat land with few trees not far from the river. We all unloaded our backpacks and rested for a while. Then we took out the utensils inside and prepared to set up a campsite.
"Are there any snakes here? That's what I'm most afraid of." Gu Weiwei asked worriedly as she looked at the nearby grass.
"Weiwei, don't worry. It's already mid-November now. The snakes have basically gone to sleep." Fatty Luo quickly explained to her.
"That's right. But just in case, it's better to check." Li Youran said. He took out the machete and handed it to Li Fangcheng. He and Huzi took Leopard Ball to inspect the surroundings. Not only to look at snakes, but also to look at them.
Check to see if there are any traces of other wild animals. Lingfeng Mountain is still sparsely populated. It is normal for wild animals to appear.
The remaining four people began to clean up the scene. They cleared away all the rocks, branches, shrubs and other messy things. At the same time, they checked the ground to see if there were any nests of rats, snakes or ants.
After the cleaning is completed, start erecting tents, laying floor mats, connecting tent poles, propping up the inner tent, covering the outer tent. Then tie the guy wires and fix them with ground nails. Finally, use a folding shovel to dig a drainage ditch around each tent. Prepare it for the night.
Preparations for rain.
During this period, Li Youran let Jin Yu go out and let him hunt on his own.
After nearly an hour of work, three blue double tents were set up. They were arranged in a triangular shape. Warm sleeping bags and other bedding were also in place.
Li Fangcheng, Huzi also returned from the inspection with Leopard Ball. (fastest update) and got a lot of firewood. He said that there were no traces of dangerous animals nearby. It should be safe.
Next, allocate the tents. Sun Xiaoying and Gu Weiwei will naturally live together. They will be placed in the middle tent. This will make them safer at night.
As for Fatty Luo, no one wants to live with him. The reason is self-evident. He takes up too much space.
"Huzi, your fat brother likes you the most. That's it." Li Youran had no choice but to show off his boss style and force the arrangement.
"Huzi. Brother Fatty can protect you from the wind at night. You will definitely stay warm." Li Fangcheng chuckled and made sarcastic remarks.
"Then it's better to sleep with the leopard ball in your arms. It'll be warmer."
Huzi muttered that Nangdi was very reluctant. Fatty Luo was so angry that he wanted to push him to the ground and beat him.
"Haha. Leopard Ball can't enter the tent at night. It has to stay vigil outside. The heavy responsibility lies on its shoulders." Li Youran explained.
Wolf dogs can never die in their sleep. They will wake up whenever there is any movement. They can detect abnormal situations in time. This is also the instinct passed down from their ancestors.
Huzi had no choice but to agree.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone started preparing dinner together.
Li Fangcheng and Huzi built the stove with cobblestones. Fatty Luo arranged the roasting forks, iron picks, grills, etc. The two ladies packed the various vegetables, small cutting boards, dishes and other tableware they had brought.
Li Youran filled the pot with rice and carried a bucket. He said he would go to the river to wash rice and get water.
When he came to the small river, he squatted down on a stone. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He stretched out his hand to guide the water from the space stream. He washed the rice first and then filled the bucket. No matter how clear the river water was, it was not as good as space water.
of excellent quality.
When he returned, Li Fangcheng and Li Fangcheng had already built the stove and started to light a fire with tree branches. The stove fire ignited smoothly. This is a familiar way for country children to do this.
So they set up a pot to cook. Li Youran reminded them not to leave flammable objects near the stove. It is autumn and the air is dry. If they are not careful and cause a wildfire, it will be a disaster.
On the center line of the three tents, preparations for the campfire were made. The dry firewood was piled together.
At this moment, a clear eagle cry came from the sky. Then the flapping of wings got closer and closer. An item was thrown on the grass near the tent.
"Hey. Jin Yu is back with something! Go and have a look." Hu Zi shouted in surprise.
Before they could get up, a black shadow rushed out and rushed towards the fallen object on the grass.
Returning after a few seconds, everyone discovered that Leopard Ball was holding a big tawny rabbit in his mouth. His legs were still twitching.
Chi. Chi. Jin Yu was a little afraid of the fireworks and didn't want to get close. He stood on a nearby big rock and screamed in this direction.
Leopard Ball ran all the way to Li Youran's feet, put down the rabbit in his mouth, then wagged his tail and barked, as if to show his merit.
"You guys are so shameless. You still want to take the credit from Jin Yu." Li Youran patted Leopard Ball on the head. He was angry and funny.
"Leopard Ball is really good. He has also learned how to take credit for rewards." Li Fangcheng curled his lips and said.
"Yes. And you smile so flatteringly." Huzi also added.
Leopard Ball ignored their taunts. He put his front paws on Li Youran's legs and continued to make out with him while sticking out his tongue.
Fatty Luo didn't care who caught it. He stepped forward and grabbed the rabbit's ears and lifted it up. He immediately beamed.
"What a fat rabbit. It must weigh more than four pounds. Haha. It feels so good."
"I'm right. Jin Yu is a naturally good hunter. Fatty. Go and process the rabbit. Salt it and make hare meat stewed with mushrooms later." Li Youran said. He left the leopard ball and went to Da Da.
The golden feather on the stone walked away.
"Okay. I'm the best at this. I'm very good at skinning and disemboweling." Fatty Luo agreed happily. He swallowed. Then he picked up a saber and walked towards the river with the rabbit.
Gu Weiwei and Sun Xiaoying frowned when they heard this. But thinking of the temptation of rabbit meat stewed with mushrooms, they could only bear it.
Li Youran walked up to Jin Yu, first touched its neck comfortingly, and then took out a large handful of eagle food from the space to reward it.
Speaking of this eagle food, it is the latest research result. Because I was worried that Jin Yu always eats only meat, which may lead to nutritional imbalance. So I discussed with Uncle Qi and made the fresh meat into a sauce. Mix it with flour, cornmeal, eggs, and vegetables.
Juice, bone meal and other things are mixed with special water. Then they are steamed in a pot and cut into small steamed bun-like pastries. They are called eagle grains.
Although the aroma of the finished product is fragrant, at first I was a little worried that Jin Yu, who was used to eating fresh meat, would not be able to accept dried meat. Unexpectedly, it turned out that this worry was completely unnecessary. Jin Yu couldn't wait to eat it all after the first feeding. Look.
It's even more popular than jerky.
Perhaps it was the spatial water that maximized the flavor of the food that changed the golden eagle's carnivorous appetite. Li Youran could only think so.
Woof woof. Seeing Jin Yu enjoying the delicious food, Leopard Ball couldn't help but bark.
"Okay. You also have a share." Li Youran had no choice but to take out another handful of eagle food and put it in front of Leopard Ball.
After appeasing the two animals, he took out a bag of cleaned mushrooms from the space. Then he turned back and handed it to Gu Weiwei and Sun Xiaoying, asking them to cut it into shreds or small pieces for later use.
Suddenly, Fatty Luo exclaimed from the river: "Hey! Come and see, there is a deer on the other side of the river." (To be continued.
