Chapter 67 Are you the Mountain God's biological son? [5,000 words]
Even though Lin Heng didn't show off deliberately, he still met quite a few people along the way.
Not far from Tongshugou, Xiongba called out again.
"Lin Heng, you beat... a deer again?"
Not far away, Tian Baishun, an old man who got up early to hunt, saw Lin Heng and was about to say hello.
Suddenly he saw the yellow muntjac in his backpack and was stunned for a moment, his voice rising by several decibels.
"Am I getting too excited? Or am I hallucinating?"
Tian Baishun pinched himself, unable to believe that Lin Heng could catch such a big muntjac.
"It's normal for airmen to have hallucinations."
Lin Heng laughed, without saying anything else, and walked over quickly with Xiulan.
Tian Baishun: “…”
Although I don't know what the air force guy means, it's clear from his tone that he is mocking me.
"Wait a minute, where did you fight?"
Tian Baishun swallowed his anger and ran over to ask. He really wanted to know, as it was really hard to find the traces of prey in summer.
"Where else could it be in the mountains? It should be easy for you, an old hunter, to find it."
Lin Heng said without turning his head.
Tian Baishun: “…”
"Tell me, and I'll reward you with a grouse." Even though he was angry, he had to swallow it.
He really wanted to know, and he felt a little regretful that he had looked down on and deliberately teased Lin Heng before.
Originally, he looked down on Lin Heng's skills, thinking that he was treating hunting as a joke.
Now it seems that I am the joke. His technology is so amazing.
In half a month, a badger and a muntjac were caught. Who can compare?
After taking a look at Lin Heng, Tian Baishun turned around and chased after him, wanting to know where Lin Heng had shot the deer.
He kept asking questions, but Lin Heng couldn't say anything. This guy didn't have the face to keep asking questions, so he just kept smiling.
Many people were working in the fields and didn't notice Lin Heng, but after he got involved, everyone knew about it.
Uncle Wang was weeding peanuts in the field. When he heard the noise, he got up and took a look. He was immediately stunned and could not help rubbing his eyes.
"Such a big muntjac?"
He murmured to himself, somewhat incredulous.
Walking through the bamboo forest, Lin Heng saw Yang Zhaotao setting up a trap and shouted with a smile, "Did you get anything?"
This guy deliberately placed the wooden block so far away to make things difficult for him, and he hasn't forgotten it.
Seeing Lin Heng, Yang Zhaotao smiled and picked up a bamboo rat next to him, saying, "Look, it's not bad, weighing one or two kilograms."
"It's pretty good." Lin Heng chuckled and said, "I also beat one, it's not very big, only about 40 or 50 kilograms."
As he spoke, he leaned sideways, revealing the yellow muntjac.
The smile on Yang Zhaotao's face froze all of a sudden, his eyes began to widen, and gradually turned into unbelievable shock.
Then it turned into jealousy and envy, and finally forced a smile: "Amazing, where did you get it? It must weigh 40 or 50 kilograms, right?"
He felt so uncomfortable, just like you caught a three-pound carp and were showing off, but then someone came with a ten-pound grass carp, and your smile disappeared immediately.
But the smile did not disappear, it just moved to Lin Heng's face. He glanced at Tian Baishun who was chasing after him and smiled shyly: "I shot him on the mountain last night."
After saying that, he took Xiulan away, finally feeling relieved.
But Yang Zhaotao was no longer in the mood to set traps, so he followed Lin Heng, wanting to watch him deal with the muntjac.
When Lin Heng returned home, there were already four or five people following him. They were all relatively free and wanted to come and watch him kill the deer.
Even if you can't hit it, it's okay to just enjoy the sight.
It's like a fisherman who can't catch any fish and hides at home watching fishing videos. It also gives him a sense of participation.
Lin Xuan'an, Lin's father, and his eldest son Lin Yue were digging the drainage ditch outside the new house when they suddenly saw a group of people coming down from the back mountain.
"It's Lin Heng and Xiulan!"
Lin Yue has sharp eyes and recognized it from a distance.
Father Lin was a little worried and confused: "Why are there so many people following us? Did something happen?"
After all, the two of them didn't come back all night yesterday, which was really worrying.
"Let's go over and help. It shouldn't be a big deal. Both of them are walking." Lin Yue guessed.
Immediately, the father and son put down their hoes and walked over to greet them.
"Lin Heng, you didn't come back all night, is everything okay?" Lin's father asked hurriedly when he approached Lin Heng.
"Congratulations, Lin Xuan, your son is a great man. Your family is going to get rich again today."
Before Lin Heng could say anything, Tian Baishun spoke first.
"Huh? What happened? Did you catch prey again?" Father Lin was stunned.
"Or did you pick something good?" Lin Yue also widened his eyes.
"It's a muntjac, probably about 40 to 50 kilograms. Come and take it quickly. I can't carry it anymore." Lin Heng turned around and signaled his father to take the backpack.
"Forty or fifty kilograms!"
“So big!!”
Both of them were stunned. Looking at the yellow muntjac in the basket, they felt a little dreamy, so much so that they forgot to take the basket.
"dad!"
Lin Heng called out again.
"Oh oh, let go."
Father Lin finally came to his senses, and after taking the deer, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Xiu Lan, give me your backpack." Lin Yue's heart was pounding with excitement. Brother, this is too amazing. It's a big muntjac weighing forty or fifty kilograms.
"No."
Xiulan shook her head. She didn't want the old turtle and Ganoderma lucidum in the basket to be discovered by outsiders like Tian Baishun. There was no way to stop the deer, so she had to hide them if possible.
So she didn't say much along the way, and everyone's attention was drawn to the muntjac, and they didn't notice that the total value of the things she was carrying was no less than that of the muntjac.
"All right."
Lin Yue didn't force it.
Father Lin carried a muntjac on his back, and a group of people came to the yard of the Lin family's old house in a mighty manner.
"What's wrong?"
At this moment, Uncle Lin Heng was helping to make benches in the yard. Seeing so many people, he stood up curiously.
"Deer muntjac! Was it beaten by Lin Heng?"
Before anyone could say anything, uncle Lu Honghai saw it himself.
"Haha, yes. I went to pick mushrooms and was lucky enough to hear the calls." Lin Heng smiled shyly.
Then he took his wife back to the house and said, "I'll go get the scale to weigh it."
After the two entered the house, they put the backpack directly into the bedroom, which was a place that outsiders could not enter.
"You take a rest first and take it out after the people leave." Lin Heng said to his wife.
"Go ahead, I just need to change my clothes." Xiulan nodded. She was not the kind of person who liked to show off.
Lin Heng walked into the yard with the steelyard in his hand. When Caiyun saw him, her eyes widened: "Second brother, you are so amazing. You actually killed such a big deer."
In the past, she had only heard that the hunters in the village often hunted prey, and she was always envious. She never expected that such a thing would happen to her family one day.
Not only her, the entire Lin family felt the same way.
"Awesome!" Carpenter Liang gave Lin Heng a thumbs up. He was completely impressed. This young man was really good at hunting.
"Fortunately, it was luck." Lin Heng said modestly.
This made Tian Baishun and the others feel uncomfortable, and they even wanted to give Lin Heng a beating. You guys are so lucky every day, right? "Come and weigh it."
Lin Heng hooked the muntjac by its hind legs, lifted it up with his father, and weighed it high.
"25, 26, 27 kilograms, fifty-four pounds, not bad."
Looking at the scale, Lin Heng showed his mouthful of snow-white teeth.
Father Lin also laughed happily and patted Lin Heng on the shoulder: "Great."
"Dad, please help me fix it quickly, otherwise it will break down. I called it at around 8 o'clock last night."
Lin Heng smiled and said that seeing his father's pleased expression, he was also satisfied.
"Okay, sit down and have a rest. Your brother and I will do the killing." Father Lin nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, we will do it. Just watch and we will make sure the skin is peeled off intact for you."
The eldest brother Lin Yue nodded repeatedly, feeling sincerely proud of his younger brother. He no longer had to worry about his younger brother and Xiulan not being able to survive after the family split up.
Lin Heng sat down to drink tea, and Tian Baishun and the others also sat down. If they don't want to leave, you can't chase them away.
"If you don't want to tell me where you got hit, can you at least tell me how you got hit?" Tian Baishun said to Lin Heng.
"Yeah, tell me about it." The others quickly agreed, showing great interest in this.
"There's nothing much to say..."
Lin Heng recounted what had happened in general, but this time he didn't exaggerate much, as there was no need to.
Tian Baishun was an old hunter. He knew Lin Heng was not lying. He sighed and said, "You are really capable. If you don't choose to wait, I dare say the deer will run away 100%."
"Yes, when hunting muntjacs, it is best to defend or attack from the downwind." Uncle Lu Honghai nodded and acknowledged Lin Heng's skills.
After saying that, his uncle turned his head and looked at him again: "It seems that we can catch something in the next two days. Let's go hunting together in a few days."
"Okay, I'll come when I have time." Faced with his uncle's second invitation, Lin Heng couldn't refuse.
"Take me with you, we can take care of each other." Tian Baishun also spoke up quickly.
In his opinion, Lin Heng is now in the novice protection period. If he is lucky, he may reap great rewards by working with him.
"Okay, but Old Man Tian, please don't do any more tricks." Lin Heng looked at him and said.
"You are insulting me, an old man. I already said that it was an accidental discharge that day." The old guy refused to admit it and was very shameless.
Then everyone started chatting. Tian Baishun was the most talkative. He boasted about all the things he had done in the mountains over the years. This was one of his hobbies.
While a few people were chatting, Father Lin and eldest brother Lin Yue were killing muntjacs.
The suede skin was peeled off in a short time by the two of them, and a large piece of skin over one square meter was formed.
"This fur is very beautiful. There's no problem selling it for 120 yuan." Lin Yue said as he continued to deal with the scraps of meat on the fur.
"You know what, the fur of the prey killed with a bow and arrow is so beautiful." Tian Baishun walked over and touched the fur and said.
The leather was smooth and soft, with almost no damage except for a small hole caused by an arrow.
The animals they shot with hunting rifles often had many wounds, and some of their fur was burned by gunpowder, so they were often sold at a low price.
However, this is not the case with killing with bows and arrows. The old man who saw this wanted to buy a bow and arrow to try it out.
"One hundred and twenty, enough for me to earn in a year." Yang Zhaotao also felt deeply moved. Why didn't he have such good luck?
"Why are there so many people?"
At this time, Lin's mother and sister-in-law Liu Juan came back from working in the fields and were a little surprised to see so many people at home.
When he looked again, he was stunned.
"Is this muntjac big? It weighs 54 kilograms." Father Lin said with a grin.
"Lin Heng hunted alone?" Lin's mother widened her eyes. Has hunting become easier? How come Lin Heng has harvested so many recently? "Of course, otherwise he wouldn't have peeled them at our house." Lin Heng replied with a smile.
Mother Lin took a deep look at Lin Heng and said only two words: "Awesome!"
"How long will this take to eat?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan looked at it for a long time and could only utter one sentence.
She is now thinking about how to avoid splitting up the family.
Although the family has not split up, these furs still belong to Lin Heng alone. The Lin family has always been about whoever gets something owns it.
But at least I can eat meat every day. Now that we have separated, I can't just come to your house and eat and drink for free, right?
After the suede skin was peeled, Lin's father began to process the internal organs. After one night, nothing went bad.
I left the deer lung to Xiongba and processed the rest.
"Sell me the deer liver. I like to eat it." Old Man Tian said while looking at the deer liver.
"Okay, three dollars." Lin Heng smiled.
"You are robbing me, it's one dollar and fifty cents at most." Tian Baishun widened his eyes and thought to himself, you are such a black man.
"Just kidding. I'm not selling it. My dad likes to eat it, so I'm leaving it for him." Lin Heng smiled.
After taking a sip of water, Lin Heng continued, "You can sell 10 kilograms of meat. Pork is 70 cents a kilogram, and deer meat is not much, just one yuan a kilogram."
There is so much meat that even if you remove the internal organs, fur, and head, it would still weigh more than 30 kilograms.
"Then I'll buy a pound of meat to try." Old Man Tian continued.
No one else dared to respond. If they had money, they wouldn't have eaten meat only once a month. They could only watch helplessly.
"I don't want to look at it anymore. I still have to remove the peanut grass." Yang Zhaotao found an excuse and left. If he looked at it again, he was afraid that he would just rush up and eat it.
The others also got up and left. After they went out, they were extremely envious of Lin Heng and Old Man Tian. One had meat, the other had money, and both could afford to eat meat.
"What are you talking about? Where does your meat come from, Old Man Tian?"
On the way, Li Ping and Lin Xuping, who were carrying hoes on their way home, looked at a group of people walking towards them and asked curiously.
"Congratulations to you, Lin Heng shot a yellow muntjac weighing more than 50 kilograms. He is so lucky. You will definitely get some of the meat." Yang Zhaotao said with a smile, with some sarcasm in his tone.
"What? A big muntjac weighing more than 50 kilograms?" Li Ping opened her mouth wide.
"Is this true?" Lin Xuping didn't believe it. His idle nephew was so awesome. They had asked around for the badger a few days ago but there was no news. They still couldn't accept that Lin Heng had killed him himself.
Then you suddenly told me that he had killed another 50-jin muntjac? Seeing the expressions of the two men, Tian Baishun shook the meat in his hand and said with a smile, "How can this be fake? I just bought it. It's all lean meat, definitely muntjac."
Seeing the two people's expressions gradually freeze, these people became happy again, because they suddenly realized that there were people who were suffering more than themselves.
That day, Lin Heng’s grandfather and grandmother didn’t know how they walked back home, and they were distraught for the next week.
…
In the Lin family's yard, the family looked at the red, almost fat-free deer meat, wondering what they were thinking.
"Can we eat as much as we want at noon today, second brother?" Caiyun drooled at the sight of the deer meat.
"Eat as much as you want, fry a big pot, it's delicious." Lin Heng smiled.
Mother Lin looked at the meat and said, "Cut two three-jin pieces of meat and send them to your third father and uncle-in-law. It will be considered a thank you.
Otherwise, we won’t be able to finish it, and it won’t last in this weather.”
"That's a good idea. Let's salt it first and send it tomorrow." The meat couldn't be eaten up anyway, and the bacon made from deer meat without fat wouldn't taste good.
After saying that, Lin Heng walked over again and locked the yard door.
"What are you doing?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan didn't understand.
"Xiu Lan, take out the things in the backpack." Lin Heng shouted. Carpenter Liang had already gone to work on the new house. Only the Lin family members and his uncle were here.
"Is there something else?" Everyone was shocked.
"What is it? You have to wait until the people leave and close the door before you can take it out?" Lin's mother was a little confused.
"You will know soon." Lin Heng went to get two bamboo mats.
Xiulan took out the backpack and everyone looked at it curiously.
Seeing Xiulan taking out the mushrooms to dry, Liu Juan was a little confused: "It's just some mushrooms... red ganoderma lucidum, so much red ganoderma lucidum!"
She hadn't finished her words yet, and as a hint of red appeared, her mouth opened wider and wider.
"Good fellow, I told you it was still closed. You must have gone up the mountain to worship the mountain god this time!" Father Lin took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Good fellow!"
"Are you going to purchase some goods?" Lin's mother was also surprised. Not to mention other mushrooms, this Ganoderma lucidum weighs more than a pound and can be sold for forty or fifty yuan if dried.
Lin Heng chuckled: "This is nothing, look at this."
Lin Heng threw the weasel aside and took out a hidden giant turtle.
"Fuck, such a big old turtle!"
Not to mention their mouths, everyone's legs couldn't close.
"You're not worshipping the mountain god, you're the mountain god's biological son." His uncle was always calm, but at this moment he couldn't help himself.
"No wonder you want to lock the door, it has to be locked." Lin's mother didn't know what to say. She had made two or three hundred yuan by going into the mountains. Was it really that easy to make money? "Hehe, this is really good luck."
Lin Heng chuckled. This time, apart from the good luck in encountering the muntjac, the other things were not that lucky, especially the Ganoderma lucidum. That was thanks to the hidden sword Xiongba.
The old turtle did it on purpose. When he was catching the stream grouper, he thought there might be old turtles among them, and night was a good time to catch turtles.
Generally speaking, relying on Xiongba to find wild delicacies is the most long-term solution. No wonder the old hunter made a fortune in his previous life by relying on Xiongba.
However, he and Xiulan decided to keep this a secret and not tell anyone. Everyone knew that Xiongba was so powerful, so what should they do if they always borrowed dogs? In fact, it didn't matter if they borrowed dogs, as they were all family.
But there are many people and they all talk a lot. If something were to leak out and others became jealous and poisoned Xiongba, then he would be doomed.
Or if other relatives find out and come to borrow the dog, should I lend it to them or not? So I decided to keep it a secret for the time being.
Sister-in-law Liu Juan was a little at a loss. This family really didn't want to split up anymore.
Caiyun was holding Xiaoxia and watching from the side. Before, her second brother said he would make a lot of money to send her to school, but she didn't believe it. But now she believes it. Her second brother is so capable.
Xiulan spread out the mushrooms to dry, feeling very happy. Her and Lin Heng's life was getting better and better.
After raising the turtle in the wooden barrel, Lin Heng opened the door and went to find Carpenter Liang. He wanted to make a flowerpot and plant the pine tree he had dug.
