Farmhouse Senda

Chapter 44 Kimchi as Gold

Those who saw it had their share. One hare, two pheasants, and a pot of snake soup were far from enough for these twelve people. Fortunately, there were cans and compressed biscuits, otherwise it would definitely not be enough.

And Michelle was stubborn, so she asked Li Qingyun for an extra chicken leg. After eating it, she still couldn't forget it, and she had to eat beggar chicken for dinner.When she said this, she could clearly pronounce the three Chinese characters for "beggar chicken".

Poor gold coins and copper coins, only grabbed some bones to eat. Li Qingyun secretly took out two half-sized fish from the small space and threw them to the puppy while pretending to be convenient. Change the anger just now.

After eating the first sumptuous lunch on the mountain, they faced a difficult choice, whether to want the meteorite on the Banyin Mountainside?Can you go down and look for it?
Some people say it's too dangerous, while others say it's a rare opportunity. If you miss this point, you don't know if you can find another one.As a translator, Li Qingyun is only responsible for translation and never expresses his own opinions.

The area was indeed dangerous, and there were an unknown number of poisonous snakes guarding it. Even if he forcibly ingested it in a small space, some of the missing poisonous snakes would attack him.

And this group of experts asked snake catcher Qicun for advice, and asked him if he dared to go down to find the meteorite. The scientific expedition team could give him an extra bonus of 1000 yuan. If he could find the meteorite, the bonus could be increased by [-] yuan.

Qi Cun refused without thinking: "Because I'm an expert in catching snakes, I know more about the dangers of swarming poisonous snakes. If I lose my life, why do I need money?"

After Li Qingyun translated these words intact, several foreign experts were immediately in awe, and no one persuaded them, and no one mentioned the search for this meteorite.Yes, even a low-literate hunter knows that if they die, they will have nothing. What are they still insisting on?
In particular, George, who escaped from Shekou, didn't say a word. Ever since he saw the countless venomous snakes, his shadow on snakes was heavier than Michelle's.

Since they decided to temporarily abandon this meteorite, they had to continue on their way.George ate the pills long ago, and the wounds on his body recovered quickly. There was no swelling or ulceration on his legs. Except for the wound, there was still some pain, and there were no other symptoms.

When moving forward, Li Qingyun secretly checked the photos copied on the mobile phone and found the trajectories of the falling meteors. Sure enough, he could calculate the approximate range of the falling points, but he just needed to draw some auxiliary lines to help locate.

The meteorite that fell this time is a bit strange, as if it provides heat, so snakes like to gather near the crater.This is the conclusion that the experts inferred based on the situation just now. Whether it is correct or not, it is necessary to find the next meteorite to judge.

When we approached the top of the mountain, the mountain road began to turn around. It was clear that we were about to reach the top, but it began to circle downwards, along the sheep intestines trail, gradually descending, and there were more and more stones under our feet. The sound of the flowing stream was like a bell, clear and pleasant.

Qi Cun looked at the sky and said: "It's getting dark, we will cross the creek in front, and we can prepare to camp. The camp should choose a flat place, preferably a little away from the creek. Because there is water in the place , there will definitely be beasts to cancel, and the beasts are very aggressive at night. This mountain is where our hunters often come, so there is a fixed campsite, and it will be there after crossing the creek and walking two miles."

Li Qingyun's original words were translated.

"I can't walk anymore. It would be great if I could camp by the stream." After all, George was injured. He was the first person in the team who couldn't support him. He was supported by his teammates before he came here.

Michelle was beyond Li Qingyun's expectations, she walked very easily, and she didn't get tired along the way.However, the sweat had soaked her little clothes, and it was sticking to her body, making her plump curves even more attractive.

As soon as the gold coins and the copper coins saw the water, they were so excited, they rolled a few times in a row, then jumped up and shook their heads, splashing water droplets everywhere.Copper Coin seemed to see a fish the size of a slap. With a plop, it jumped into a slightly deeper pool and fluttered randomly, but unfortunately it didn't catch anything.

On the other hand, Da Hei was an experienced man. When he passed a brown rock, he suddenly shouted excitedly and caught it at once. From the rock, he bit a group of black strange fish, like an oversized gecko with four legs. It has a long chopstick-like tail, which is sticky and slippery.

"Huh? Is it a salamander? It can't bite, it's a protected animal." The Chinese experts exclaimed when they saw it.

Li Qingyun smiled secretly. The king cobra eaten at noon is also a national second-class protected animal. They eat deliciously and don't mention the protection of animals at all.

However, looking at the size of this strange fish, it is obviously not like a salamander, it is a bit too slim, and even if it tastes good, it is not chewy.

Qicun corrected: "It's a fir fish, which is relatively common in the mountains, but I haven't encountered a real salamander for many years."

Chinese fir fish is also called Qiang live fish. It belongs to the small salamander family. It is generally only about 20 cm long.

The giant salamander belongs to the giant salamander family and is a protected animal. Its taste is extremely delicious, and it screams like a baby, wow wow, and a sudden cry at night can scare many timid people.

The expert's eyes are not very good. Hearing Qicun's explanation, he immediately became a little ashamed and stopped talking.But it was too late to say anything, because Da Hei was not full at noon, so he ate the little fir fish into his stomach in three or two times.

After crossing the wide stream, there was a flat area in front of him. Li Qingyun's eyes were good. He actually saw two tents. The fire had just started in front of the tents.

"Wang wang wang!" There was more than a mile away from the tent, and the other's hounds could be heard frantically barking. The two hunters seemed to have brought a lot of hounds, but none of them were tied. More than a dozen dogs suddenly blocked the path and rushed over. Li Qingyun and his party roared.

Not to be outdone, Gold Coin, Copper Coin, and Da Hei were also at the forefront, showing their teeth and dancing their claws, and counterattacked with more fierce screams.

Two men stood up by the fire, holding shotguns, staring at Li Qingyun and the others with full alertness.

"Are there many hunters entering the mountains these days?" Zhang Chaoyang asked in surprise.

"There are only more than 20 hunters in Qinglong Town. Although the government bans hunting, the situation here is complicated. Some of them are family traditions, and even the whole village lives on hunting. If hunting is banned, their livelihood will be cut off. There have been many troubles before. In the end, the town government took special action and applied for some Orion Qualification Certificates, which calmed down the situation. The village with the most Orion is Zhangqiao Village. At the foot of another mountain road, the Orion in their village More than half of the town."

"Now the government has stepped up its efforts to open up wasteland and encouraged financial incentives, and it has successfully turned some hunter families into farming, which has led to a sharp drop in professional hunters. However, in their spare time, many people still go into the mountains to hunt. Especially precious animals are afraid to hunt. However, indifferent prey such as pheasants, hares, wild boars, sambar deer, and wild wolves are often hunted and killed.”

"Blind bears are in the deeper forests. Unless they are starving and faint, they usually don't go to the outer mountain areas. If there are really faint bears, hunters will not be polite. At least I have seen many people selling fresh black bear skins on the street. "

Li Qingyun introduced the special local situation to the expedition team members, and Qi Cun went to the front early and made gestures to the hunters in front. These gestures can only be understood by the local hunters.The alert was quickly disarmed over there, and the dog was called back.

"The two eldest brothers of the Chen family, are you going up the mountain or down the mountain? You've already caught a lot of prey." After approaching, Li Qicun seemed to recognize them and spoke politely.

"Go down the mountain! Chasing a half-sized wild boar, it was too deep and almost lost its way. Fortunately, our brothers worked together to kill it, otherwise it would be a big loss." , When I saw foreigners, it was very strange.Especially when I saw the charming and beautiful Michelle, my eyes were straight.

Another hunter proudly pointed to the bundled wild boar. The two front legs were tied together, and the two hind legs were tied together, with a large wooden stick inserted in the middle. That's how they carried the wild boar all the way.

Next to the wild boar, a few pheasants and hares are tied with ropes. This kind of small game is the most common. Experienced hunters never go into the mountains empty-handed, because there are a large number of hares and pheasants.

Li Qingyun frowned a little. He, a layman, knows that wild boars live in a nest. This half-sized wild boar must have other companions nearby. These simple-headed but somewhat vengeful guys may come out of nowhere to give to humans. a surprise.

The key point of the wild boar is at the heart. The hunter can only shoot by standing in front of the wild boar. If the wild boar rushes in and has not killed it, it will be the hunter who will die.A wild boar can break a tree, and if it hits a person, the end is absolutely tragic.

With the light of these two enthusiastic hunters, they don't have to hunt game for dinner, they eat the game they grilled, and the captain of the scientific expedition gave them a few boxes of canned food and compressed biscuits, which is considered an exchange.

The food prepared by the entire scientific expedition team was only seven days' worth. Even with the addition of game food, when they reached the fourth day, they should consider returning.

Dinner was equally rich, roasting four fat hares, plus two beggar chickens.It's not that the hunters here like to make beggar chickens, but that there are limited barbecue places on the top, and if you don't put something in the fire below, it will be a waste.

However, the craftsmanship of these two hunters is obviously not as good as that of Li Qingyun. Michelle, who was in high spirits, frowned immediately after eating a few mouthfuls of beggar chicken, and whispered to Li Qingyun, "It doesn't taste at all, it's not delicious. Even if the pheasant has a natural fragrance, it's a little greasy, and it's not as delicious as yours!"

Seeing that she was doing well, Li Qingyun stopped fighting against him everywhere, so he pulled out his backpack, looked inside, grabbed a small glass jar, filled it with spicy kimchi, and unscrewed it, in the greasy air. Suddenly there was an alluring sour and spicy smell.

"Tear a piece of pheasant, add a piece of spicy kimchi, and make sure you have an appetite to eat a whole chicken at any time!" Li Qingyun said, and he first took out a piece of kimchi, mixed with hare legs, and ate it with relish.

Michelle was still hesitating, but when she saw other Chinese people were drooling with greed, she grabbed it without waiting for Li Qingyun to say hello, and sighed: "When you go on an adventure in the mountains, you are in the mood to bring a pickle jar, it's really extravagant! How much energy has to be wasted along the way! It is comparable to gold, comparable to exchanging gold..."
