Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Liu Xia Lian held a rifle, found a high point to stand, and looked out at the beautiful autumn scenery.

At this moment, only the pine and cypress trees remain green, while the other trees are either red as fire or yellow as gold. Late autumn is the most colorful season in Changbai Mountain.

On the big tree, squirrels were collecting pine nuts and hazelnuts. Not far away, badgers were digging deep holes to store food. A fox nearby saw hounds and lynxes running faster than rabbits.

The team is so coordinated that Liu Xialian no longer needs to direct them. Dahua is looking for poisonous snakes everywhere, and the four hounds are patrolling everywhere. Li Hu is guarding in front with a hunting rifle, and Daniu is guarding behind.

As for Liu Fuhong, he was not idle either. He went to dig Poria cocos nearby.

Daya cleaned up the surrounding area, and Li Damei started to dig carefully. This ginseng was not small, and it looked to be about three taels in weight. You have to know that wild ginseng grows extremely slowly without human intervention.

After a while, Li Damei finally dug out the ginseng and held it in her hand for everyone to see: "It's really big, at least 200 to 300 grams. Look at this reed head, it's still big after 30 years."

Liu Xia Lian suggested: "Da Mei, you should keep this one to protect your pregnancy and to regulate your body when you get pregnant."

Erya looked at Damei in surprise and scratched her head: "No, Damei is going to have a baby? This is too magical, can you have a baby right after getting married?"

Damei shook her head repeatedly: "These are things that have been brought down from the mountains for decades. It's not good to eat them. It's better to find some five or six year old ginseng to stew chicken with. This one is too strong."

Liu Fuhong has already dug up a lot of Poria cocos and some Acanthopanax senticosus roots and put them in snakeskin bags. Now he is just like Liu Xia Lian last year, making money bit by bit.

Erya took out the processed ginseng seeds and planted dozens of them in the deep soil of the hillside. They will sprout next spring. Although they may not survive or grow, this is a part of sustainable development. If every ginseng digger can dig one and plant dozens of them, then future generations will not be in the dilemma of having no ginseng to dig.

Liu Xia Lian looked ahead and saw a sparse red pine forest in front of her. There was a lot of ginseng in this kind of forest.

There are hundreds of medicinal herbs in Changbai Mountain, but the only one that is truly valuable is ginseng.

"Li Hu, clear the way and head towards the red pine forest ahead. We'll look carefully there."

"Okay, but my master took Xu Xiong and me to search this forest several times. We dug a few trees for five or six years but didn't find anything."

Dahua unexpectedly encountered a poisonous snake in the warm sun. She slapped it a few times, then climbed up a tree and started eating it under the watchful eyes of four hunting dogs.

Dahuang looked a little puzzled, not understanding why this idiot liked to eat poisonous snakes.

Once they reached the edge of the jungle, Liu Xialian pointed to the spot under the brambles: "There's one here, there's another next to the prickly ash bud, and there's another next to the pine stump."

Liu Xia Lian found three ginsengs in succession, which made Li Hu feel extremely depressed. Last spring, three people came and searched very carefully, so why didn’t they find anything?

Daya, Erya, and Damei tied their own red lines and made their goals clear, but these three can only be considered average, that is, more than 20 years. If you consider it from the perspective of ordinary people, it can be equivalent to two or three months' salary, which is already considered to be in the category of getting rich.

Liu Fuhong held a hoe, bent over, and looked everywhere, but the ginseng always played hide-and-seek with him and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.

In a fit of anger, he stopped looking and started picking Schisandra chinensis everywhere with a basket on his back. They had already ripened and dried. These wild fruits were food for birds and various beasts, but the yield was so high that they were everywhere, so it was quite easy to pick them.

After more than half an hour, the ginseng diggers dug out the ginseng, and Liu Fuhong also picked more than ten kilograms of Schisandra chinensis, which earned him dozens of pieces. It was better than doing nothing.

Everyone took a break. Liu Fuhong went to the nearby woods to relieve herself. She came back in a hurry, but she didn't dare to say anything. She came to Liu Xialian and said, "Sister, lend me your rifle. I found a sika deer."

"Brother Hong, you are several hundred degrees nearsighted. Let me go with you to have a checkup."

Liu Xia Lian called out and called the four hunting dogs Li Daniu, Dahua and Dahuang, and followed Liu Fuhong to the back of the woods. There was a small earthen slope there. When they climbed up the slope, they saw a sika deer eating wild fruits at the foot of the mountain in front of them.

Dahua was confused again and ran over without following instructions.

This is an old male sika deer. The horns on its forehead are mostly broken and it looks quite disheveled.

It seems that it was driven out of the herd by the young sika deer. The wave behind pushed the wave in front, and the wave in front died on the beach. This is the wave in front that died on the beach.

Dahua moved forward with bared fangs and claws. The sika deer snorted vigilantly and rushed forward fiercely. Its big horns like tree branches hit Dahua. It shook its head and sent Dahua flying several meters away.

Dahua fell to the ground, hit hard, and ran back meowing.

Liu Xia Lian handed over the rifle: "Brother Hong, you shoot the head. Daniu, you shoot the buttocks. Try to take it down. This deer is a eliminated male deer. It is useless except for eating meat."

Da Niu looked at Liu Fuhong. The two of them had a tacit understanding. They extended their long gun barrels and fired almost at the same time.

Liu Fuhong's rifle was powerful, and it made a hole in the deer's head. Li Daniu's was shotgun, and more than a dozen steel balls hit the sika deer's hind legs, killing it instantly. It fell to the ground with limbs twitching and soon died.

Blackie rushed forward, barking frantically at the dead stag.

The big bull pulled out a sharp knife and drained the blood directly, otherwise it would affect the quality of the meat.

"Sister, the antlers are too big, please knock them down." Da Niu took an axe and was about to smash them.

Liu Xia Lian hurriedly stopped him: "Don't smash it, don't smash it. If you keep the deer head and sell it to a taxidermist, you can get a few hundred more dollars. This old deer weighs at most 200 kilograms, and can produce more than 100 kilograms of meat, which is 200 yuan. But the intact deerskin and deer head are worth hundreds of dollars."

"Okay, let's do it this way. Put the venison into the basket and tie up the deer head and fur." ​​Da Niu said, gesturing with a sharp knife.

"Just let it go, I won't do it."

Liu Fuhong handed the rifle to Liu Xia Lian and helped Daniu to deal with the old deer.

Although Daniu is usually quiet, his level of handling prey is comparable to that of a butcher, with his sharp knife moving between the cracks. The internal organs are too troublesome, so most of them are discarded, leaving only the deer heart, deer intestines, and deer stomach, and the rest are thrown away.

After a while, two more baskets of meat, weighing more than 100 kilograms, were added to the packhorse's backpack.

As for the huge deer head, Li Daniu did not mind it and carried it on his back. In order to avoid being accidentally shot by other hunters, he hung a red line on the deer's antlers.

Liu Fuhong was very excited, his hands were shaking. Since he came here, he had taken several thousand yuan from Liu Xialian, but every time he just played a supporting role. Today he had made a contribution. Although it was not worth much money, it was his first time to discover and successfully hunt a prey.
