When Sheng Xiping and Liu Yujiang, panting, crossed the ditch and arrived at the hillside, the large running basket was already pinned to the snow by four dogs and couldn't move.
Sheng Xiping was overjoyed at the sight and quickly whistled to signal Erlang Shen and the others to retreat.
Erlang Shen's dogs always followed him into the mountains. They were very familiar with their master's commands and carried them out resolutely.
So the dogs moved aside, and Sheng Xiping pulled the trigger, blowing the basket-running dog's head off.
After being tormented by four dogs for half a day, Big Basket collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
Sheng Xiping and Liu Yujiang came forward and cut open the large basket.
The pig's heart was divided in two and given to Erlang Shen and the leopard, the pig's liver was fed to General Hei and Daqing, and the remaining intestines, lungs, and other parts were hung on a tree.
The four dogs fought with the big basket for a long time, and they were exhausted. The pig's heart and lungs alone were not enough to eat.
So Sheng Xiping cut off a lot more meat from the pig's belly to feed the dogs, until all four dogs had eaten until their bellies were bulging, and then he stopped.
"Brother, this thing is too big, we can't move it, how are we going to get it back?"
Sheng Xiping looked at the basket on the ground and was a little worried.
This thing is too heavy, and it just snowed the first time, so the ground is too soft and loose. It will be very difficult to drag it back.
Not only is there a basket running, but there are also several pigs over there. How are we going to get so many back?
Hunting has its rules. No matter how much game you hunt in the mountains, you have to bring it home, otherwise you will offend the mountain god and he will stop feeding you.
These pigs all need to be taken back, but there are only four of them, and they are so old and heavy, how are they going to drag them back?
“It’s alright. We’ll take the pig’s head off, remove the bones, split it in two, and then drag it out.”
Liu Yujiang smiled and said, "What else is there? We can find a way to get the meat back, we can't let it go to waste."
Sheng Xiping thought about it and realized it made sense. Even though the basket was big, after removing the head, hooves, offal, and bones, it would only weigh a little over 200 jin (100 kg). The two of them could probably manage to drag it out.
So the two of them got to work, shaved off the pig's head and bones, but didn't skin it. They tied a rope around it and dragged the pig back home by the rope.
When the two of them finally dragged the pigs back to where Sheng Xi'an and Liu Yuhe were, the two brothers had already finished cleaning up the pigs.
Fat Tiger, Erqing, and the other dogs all had round bellies from eating, and even Little Flower looked like she was full.
"Did Hua Hua kill that little blond guy?" Sheng Xiping glanced around and noticed the corpse of another blond guy.
Upon closer inspection, one of the blond-haired creatures wasn't gutted by a knife, but rather torn to pieces by something. Without a doubt, it was Hua Hua's handiwork.
"Hmm, Hua Hua is really amazing. It bit the little yellow-haired guy's neck so hard that the little yellow-haired guy seemed to suffocate and die."
Then Hua Hua tore the yellow cat open, took out some meat and heart and ate it. Sheng Xi'an nodded quickly upon hearing this.
He had just witnessed Hua Hua hunting; the little guy was quite something, managing to kill and eat a large portion of a yellow-haired creature.
Sheng Xiping was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly reached out to touch Hua Hua's head and the back of her neck.
"The little guy is getting more and more capable. Okay, I can rest assured now that you're like this."
Hua Hua had just finished eating and was feeling lazy.
When Sheng Xiping touched it, the little guy's remaining wildness and ferocity dissipated, and it obediently lay down next to Sheng Xiping, making purring noises.
There were five pigs of various sizes in front of them. This trip into the mountains had undoubtedly yielded a huge harvest. However, everyone was now facing a dilemma: how could the four of them get all five pigs back?
“It’s alright, we’ll make two simple sleds, put the pork on the two sleds separately, and we can haul it back in this snowy landscape.”
Liu Yujiang took a look and felt that there was no major problem.
The basket on that pig has been cleaned and doesn't weigh much anymore. The other pigs have also been gutted and gutted, removing a lot of their weight.
With a little more effort, we can manage to drag the rest back.
We have to bring all the prey we went through so much trouble to kill back home.
When the weather gets colder, meat will freeze, and we can store it and eat it for a long time.
"Second brother, go gather some firewood, let's build a fire, and eat something first. We'll need to be full to have the energy to work."
Sheng Xiping called out to his younger brother and instructed him to get to work.
I left home around nine in the morning, and it's almost one now. After running around in the mountains for so long, I'm starving. I'll eat first.
"Okay, I got it." Sheng Xi'an readily agreed and hurried off to find some firewood.
There is never a shortage of firewood in the forest. The trees that are blown down by the wind or suffer from pests and diseases will dry out completely after a long time.
They picked up some random things to start a fire, and soon a pile of fire was burning.
When we left home, we always carried dry food with us, and we had to roast it to warm it up before eating.
In addition, Sheng Xiping sharpened tree branches, skewered several meat skewers, sprinkled them with salt, and slowly roasted them around the fire at an angle.
Before long, the dry rations were heated up, and the meat skewers were sizzling and dripping with oil. The four of them ate their dry rations and meat with relish.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group went into the woods and cut down a few logs about the thickness of a small bowl.
The bottom of the wood is flattened with an axe, then heated over a fire. The wood is then bent into a certain curve, and several pieces of wood are tied horizontally with bark and rope. The simple sled is now ready.
The five pigs were divided into two groups and placed on the sled. Four people pulled the sled and led the dogs back.
