"Don't worry, it's fine, it's not a poisonous snake."
After asking a few more simple questions, Lin Mo confirmed that Su Xiaoxiao was not poisoned.
After all, there are quite a few cases of tiger keelback snake deaths worldwide, so it seems Su Xiaoxiao is quite lucky.
So he poured clean water from the kettle and carefully cleaned Su Xiaoxiao's wound, then helped her down the mountain.
Perhaps because of her youth and strong physical recovery, Su Xiaoxiao did not feel any discomfort after descending the mountain. Lin Mo reminded her to remember to go to the clinic.
After all, tetanus is also deadly.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, and Lin Mo then continued towards the hunting ground.
Little did they know that Old Tree Village was already in an uproar.
It turned out that the higher authorities were preparing to reinstate the college entrance examination, which made many educated youth feel that their chance to return to the city had come.
Only Jiang Ying looked gloomy.
It turns out that because her parents were fugitives who fled to Hong Kong, Jiang Ying was deprived of many rights before being sent to the countryside, and she didn't even get a high school diploma.
Unless you marry a local villager and transfer your household registration to the man's place.
She just couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being, and she only wanted to marry Xu Zhenting.
"what to do....."
Lin Mo, the former sucker, seemed dissatisfied with his situation. If he couldn't get married before the college entrance exam, he would probably be buried in the remote mountain village of Laoshu for the rest of his life.
However, the commotion in Laoshu Village did not affect Lin Mo, who was on his way.
Along the way, Lin Mo picked dozens of edible mushrooms.
Especially the red mushrooms that grow on pine trees, although they look bright red, become a rare delicacy after being boiled, even more delicious than meat.
He also discovered traces of Su Xiaoxiao collecting mushrooms here.
But these were just appetizers for him; the real main course was the wild boar weighing over 200 pounds.
Although it's not winter and the wild boars aren't very fat yet, they're a treasure for Lin Mo, who doesn't know where his next meal will come from.
Soon, Lin Mo arrived at the steep mountain forest with a cliff mentioned in the newspaper.
Before the 1960s, many large animals, such as tigers, leopards, and bears, had disappeared from this area due to overhunting.
This is also why Lin Mo dared to come here alone to hunt wild boar.
Secondly, he came prepared, drawing on the experiences of countless predecessors and his own personal insights.
So catching wild boars is not unfamiliar to me.
He soon discovered traces of a large animal walking in a patch of grass.
This brings to mind the path-finding method he learned from the old hunter.
Wild boars have broad, round bodies and sharp hooves, so their footprints are left in the ground, and the vegetation is scattered.
If it were a tiger or leopard, then the path it walked would leave scratches the size of a human face.
Once you see it, just run.
What Lin Mo has discovered is the path that a wild dog walked in the sun.
Then he took out a shovel and rope and began to lay a lasso on the ground.
Not many people come here, so as long as it is recycled in time, it will not threaten others.
After working for half a day, Lin Mo finally finished setting up the trap, and the dried sweet potatoes on his body were used up as bait.
His next task was to wait patiently for the opportunity to strike, rather than treating the pigs.
Trapping can't be as fast as hunting with a shotgun, so while waiting, Lin Mo also looked for other prey in the woods.
The Xingan Mountains are rich in natural resources, boasting not only a wide variety of plants but also numerous animals, such as pheasants, hazel grouse, and other species that have since been listed as protected species...
Even if you have money, you can't afford to eat it.
But for Lin Mo of this era...
They also didn't forget to set up animal traps around the area. So, they didn't have that problem at all.
"Coo coo coo..."
Suddenly, Lin Mo heard a bird calling overhead. He looked up and saw a pheasant with brightly colored feathers.
At this moment, it was perched on the tree, head held high, crowing.
Lin Mo quickly took out the slingshot left by his father. Although it was called a slingshot, all the parts were modified by his father himself.
The bow frame was made of cast iron, and the rubber bands were assembled using strong pressure bands.
Even the leather bag used to hold the stones was made of cowhide that no one knew where it came from.
Lin Mo took a deep breath and tried to steady his breathing. The worst thing when shooting with a slingshot is to be impatient, because if you are impatient, you will make a mess of things.
"call......"
Lin Mo adjusted his mindset and then quietly raised his slingshot under the tree, targeting the pheasant.
Then, with the sound of stones piercing the air, the pheasant felt a numbness in its body before it could react. Its wings flapped wildly, but it still fell straight down the tree and landed not far in front of Lin Mo.
With this pheasant, Lin Mo instantly felt much more confident.
I kept my promise and made sure my mother and sister could eat meat.
He then wandered around the woods a few more times until the sun began to set before carrying his belongings and taking the pheasants home.
Meanwhile, outside the Lin family courtyard
Jiang Ying was pacing outside the door.
"Lin Mo, you're back!"
Just then, a figure appeared in the distance, and Jiang Ying pretended to be pleasantly surprised and went to greet it.
Upon discovering that Lin Mo was carrying a large, colorful bird, she was overjoyed and reached out her hand.
"I'll help you..."
But Lin Mo dodged Jiang Ying's hand by sidestepping.
Are you kidding me? Doesn't he know Jiang Ying well?
If this pheasant really falls into Jiang Ying's hands, it's basically as if it grows legs and flies away, of course, it will fly into the stomachs of Jiang Ying and Xu Zhenting.
However, Jiang Ying's expression only changed slightly before she quickly regained her sweet smile.
"Lin Mo, I have some good news to tell you."
However, Lin Mo ignored her meaning.
"Actually, I've thought about it. You've been pursuing me for so long, and it was wrong of me to be indifferent to you. But I'm a girl and I'm shy. It was all my fault before."
