Chapter 416 Going Home
Looking at the sika deer struggling to turn over, Lin Heng shook his head slightly and pulled it to the edge of the pit by its horns.
"Bye now."
After making preparations, Lin Heng gently covered its eyes, stabbed a knife in and cut the aorta, and blood gushed out with a "pu" sound.
If an organism wants or intends to maintain low entropy, then killing is inevitable, and it does not have much sympathy.
"Boo-boo-boo~~"
Xiongba was licking the splattered blood frantically and drinking it happily.
As the blood drained, the deer's body softened and gradually stopped moving. Lin Yue went to cut a tree trunk to lift the deer.
"We can only leave this blood here for now. I'll bring the pot over later to clean it up."
After the two men tied up the sika deer, Lin Yue looked at the still warm blood in the pit and said.
“It’s the only way.”
Lin Heng nodded and took out a piece of film to cover the pit.
"Xiongba is gone."
After kicking Xiongba, Lin Heng and his eldest brother stood up, carried the sika deer and walked towards the camp with difficulty.
It was really difficult to walk while carrying such a big thing. It took the two of them nearly three hours to get back to the camp. It was already afternoon by then.
There were Li Baiquan and Lu Honggang in the camp. When they heard the voices of Lin Heng and the others, they stood up and walked out. When they saw the big guy that the two men were carrying, they were stunned for a moment, their mouths wide open and their eyes bulging out.
"No...no, why did you kill another sika deer?" Li Baiquan began to stutter.
"Oh...my God!" Lu Honggang didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Come quickly and help lift it. The two of us can't do it." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Two people came over to help carry it. When they lifted it onto their shoulders, Li Baiquan was shocked and laughed, saying, "Oh, this must be two hundred kilograms."
"If not two hundred, at least one hundred and ninety!" Lu Honggang nodded, feeling very excited. "I'm about to leave, and you guys have brought me such a big surprise. It's amazing."
"This sika deer came at the right time. We can kill it and take the fresh meat back. Everyone can eat fresh venison. This is God's blessing." Lin Yue said with a smile.
Lin Heng smiled slightly and said, "I also think it's God's blessing."
He misses home, his wife and children very much now, and he really wants to go back home immediately.
"This was caused by your trap, Lin Heng, right?" Li Baiquan asked, looking at the wound on the sika deer's foot.
Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, the trap I set up at the salt mine finally worked."
"That's great! I'll go buy some clips later." Lu Honggang was completely convinced.
"Hurry up, let's skin it while the body is still not too cold." Lin Yue said after roasting the fire for a while.
"Then I have to go directly there, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the deer blood after night." Lin Heng said, looking at the sky.
Lin Yue said: "Then you go with your third uncle, and my uncle-in-law and I will skin the animals."
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, took the bag, took an iron pot, and carried his eldest brother's gun away.
The two set out together and came to the place where the sika deer was killed. Lin Heng approached quietly, wanting to see if there were any animals coming to lick the blood, but unfortunately he didn't see any.
"Then let's start boiling the blood." Lin Heng said, and took the pot to find some snow and ice, and his third uncle lit the fire.
Bring the water to a boil, and then the two people will cut the coagulated deer blood into pieces and boil them in the pot, so that it can be completely shaped and easier to carry.
After the two of them finished cooking all the deer blood, it was almost dark. After they put out the fire, Lin Heng went home with his third uncle.
They didn't deal with the traces on the ground. Xiongba had licked most of them clean, and the rest would soon be eaten by animals.
When he returned to the shelter, his uncle had already come back and was helping to deal with the sika deer. There were still some deer intestines that had not been cleaned up.
"Lin Heng, your trap really worked well this time." Lu Honghai gave a thumbs up in admiration.
"That's because there are more prey here, otherwise the effect wouldn't be so good." Lin Heng smiled.
"Now that we have a fresh sika deer, we have to change our plan for tomorrow and transport the sika deer back first." Lin Yue said.
"That's for sure." Lin Heng nodded. The most important thing was to transport the fresh sika deer back first.
After the chat, the others packed up their things. Lin Heng cut some venison and fried it with bear oil. It tasted as delicious as stir-fried beef.
After the meal, everyone got a shoulder pole, put the things they needed in a bag and carried them down the mountain tomorrow.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. When I woke up, it was all white outside.
Everyone opened the pot, which contained stewed sika deer ribs, potatoes and yams.
They lit a fire to heat up the ingredients cooked last night. After everyone had a hearty meal, they set off with their food.
This time, only his eldest uncle and third uncle stayed behind in the camp. Lin Heng and the other three carried sixty to seventy kilograms of things each, mainly sika deer, and also some bacon, pheasant and other things.
Lin Heng also took his most important things with him, as he was worried about leaving them on the mountain.
Carrying so many things, the four people did not walk very fast. They walked nearly 30 kilometers out of the mountain. They set out before dawn at five o'clock and did not arrive at Xiaozhuo Township until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Oh my god, we're finally here."
Coming to the wide dirt road, Li Baiquan put down his things and sighed.
"It's really life-threatening. There are many good things in this mountain, but the road is really difficult to walk on." Lin Yue shook his head. The autumn clothes they were wearing were completely soaked with sweat.
After resting for a while, I felt even more uncomfortable. My sweaty autumn clothes couldn't dry because of the cotton-padded jacket, and it stuck to my skin, making me extremely uncomfortable.
"I'll get the tricycle over, and then we'll go to the village to eat something."
Lin Heng said this, put down his things and walked towards the post office.
After getting his sidecar back smoothly, Lin Heng drove to buy a big bag of sesame cakes.
"Here, everyone, fill your stomach first, and then you can have a good meal when you get home."
Lin Heng came over and distributed the pancakes to everyone, and gave the extra ones to his uncle, who had to go back to the camp on the mountain soon.
After filling their stomachs with pancakes, everyone came over and tied up the things on the car.
After tying them up, Lu Honghai said, "Then you guys go, I'll go back first."
"No problem, uncle, please be careful."
Lin Heng nodded and reminded.
After watching their uncle leave, the three of them and the dog got on the three-wheeler and drove towards home.
Since the things I brought today were a bit too heavy, some of the steep uphill roads required manpower to push from behind.
When they got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening and it was already dark.
Lin Heng was extremely tired after the long journey, so he walked up and knocked on the door.
"Xiu Lan, open the door, I'm back."
Lin Heng shouted while knocking on the door.
"Dad, dad, dad!! It's dad!"
"Slow down, don't fall..."
As soon as Lin Heng finished speaking, the voices of Xiaoxia and Xiulan were heard from inside.
With a creak, the door opened. Xiulan was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket with a fur collar and a plum blossom print, while Xiaoxia was wearing a cotton-padded jacket with large Northeastern flowers that she had bought during the Chinese New Year last year.
"dad!!"
Xiaoxia hugged Lin Heng's thighs and refused to let go.
"You're finally back. The children missed you so much." Xiulan looked up and down at Lin Heng with her big watery eyes, smiled and spoke softly.
Lin Heng was out for too long this time. No matter whether it was her or the child, they would look at the road several times every day, and if they heard any movement, they would go out to see if it was her.
Now, after waiting so long for him, he finally came back. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Xiulan felt relieved.
"I miss you guys so much too. Is everything okay at home?" Lin Heng picked up Xiaoxia, looked at Xiulan and asked with a smile.
"Everything is fine. My two sons have been getting stronger and stronger recently. They can crawl up and it seems they will soon learn to walk." Xiulan nodded slightly.
"That's good." Lin Heng hugged Xiaoxia and looked at her and said, "Wait until Dad brings the things up, then I'll hug you."
"I don't want to leave Dad." Xiaoxia didn't let go, nor did she mind that he was dirty, and she just snuggled in his arms.
"Then wait for me to drive the car up, just for a while." Lin Heng hugged her and pointed at the tricycle on the road.
After hearing what Lin Heng said, she nodded in agreement.
After putting her down, Lin Heng called his eldest brother, who was reminiscing about the past with his son. The three of them pushed the sidecar up and temporarily placed it in their own yard.
"There are so many things. You've made a lot of gains this time." Xiulan said in surprise as she looked at so many things.
"This is only a part of it. There is still a lot left in the mountain. We have to go again." Lin Heng said with a grin, holding his daughter's hand.
"So many!" Xiulan's voice became much louder.
"I'll tell you slowly later."
Lin Heng smiled and took his daughter into the house.
There was a blazing coal in the fireplace, making the whole room exceptionally warm. Lin Luming and Lin Duheng, dressed in thick clothes, were crawling around in the crib. They had already learned how to crawl quite well.
Lin Heng looked at his muddy clothes and found an official hat chair to sit on instead of sitting on the sofa.
Xiulan poured them both a cup of hot tea and brought them some food.
"There's hot water in the kettle, and there's also a pot of hot water on the fireplace. It's enough for you to take a bath." Xiulan said to Lin Heng.
She guessed that Lin Heng would be back in the next two days, so she boiled water and other things every day and waited for him.
"Then I'll take a shower first. Uncle, you take a shower later." Lin Heng said while eating.
"Go ahead." Li Baiquan nodded.
Lin Heng pulled his daughter away from him, carrying the electric kettle and going to the bedroom with Xiulan.
He looked at himself in the mirror and found that he looked like a beggar, his clothes were dirty and his hair was a mess. Only his face was slightly clean.
"Xiu Lan, I missed you so much."
Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and wanted to hug her but he was dirty.
"I miss you, too."
Xiulan put the kettle down and took the initiative to hug her man. She didn't mind that he was dirty.
After taking a breath of the fragrance from Xiulan's hair, Lin Heng felt somewhat satisfied.
Xiulan let him go, adjusted the temperature of the bath water for him and said, "Hurry up and take a shower. I'll get you some clothes."
She was almost going to bed and the fireplace in the bedroom was burning.
Lin Heng nodded, brushed his teeth and washed his hair, then got into the bathtub to soak.
Xiulan found some happy clothes for him and came over to rub his back.
"You really went to Gansu this time. You look very dusty." Xiulan said with concern while rubbing his back.
"Yes, it was very interesting this time. I encountered a very ancient village in the mountains. I sold all my bows and arrows there." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"You've sold all the bows and arrows, so how do you hunt?" Xiulan became curious.
"I exchanged the bow and arrow for a piece of bezoar the size of an egg, and also got saffron. There are a lot of good things in that place. I will tell you in detail tonight." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Okay." Xiulan nodded, and couldn't help but feel curious about Lin Heng's experience in the mountains this time.
After a while, Lin Heng finished his bath, stood up from the tub, and looked at Xiulan with great respect: "Wife, wipe my body for me."
Xiulan's pretty face turned slightly red. She rolled her eyes at him, walked over to wipe his back clean, and then returned the towel to him: "Wipe the rest yourself. I'll go out and cook for you."
"Wait for me, it will be quick."
Lin Heng said this, quickly wiped himself clean and put on his clothes, and his twenty points of respect were temporarily suppressed.
After washing, he looked in the mirror. Except that his hair was a little longer, he was still as handsome as ever.
Lin Heng came out after washing, hugged his daughter and kissed her.
"Dad, where have you been these days?" Xiaoxia asked while leaning in Lin Heng's arms.
"We went out hunting. Let me show you our harvest." Lin Heng carried her out and called his uncle Xiulan to help unload the goods.
After moving the things into the house, Lin Heng took apart a mat, took out the meat and placed it one by one on the bamboo mat. Most of what they brought back this time was meat, with only a small amount of fur.
The main meat here is sika deer meat and wild boar meat.
"Oh my god, so much meat!!"
Xiaoxia exclaimed when she looked at the things on the ground.
"This venison is still fresh. Did you just hunt it?" Xiulan asked in surprise.
Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just made it yesterday. You can fry some of it later and freeze the rest in the refrigerator."
"Dad is so awesome." Xiaoxia cheered.
"Actually, this is not the main gain. You will be shocked when we get them all back. There are indeed more prey over there than here." Li Baiquan said loudly.
"Then you've made a profit this time." Xiulan nodded.
Then Lin Heng took out his own saffron and bezoar and showed them to Xiulan. These two things were his biggest gains this time and were very valuable.
After showing off, Lin Heng cut some meat for Xiulan and asked her to cook two dishes for dinner, and then arranged a place for his uncle to take a bath and provide him with some clean clothes.
After finishing all this, he carried Xiaoxia to the next door and called his elder brother, asking him to come over to eat later.
Lin Yue had just finished taking a shower. Hearing Lin Heng's words, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat at your house. Let's go call our parents Caiyun and the others over as well."
"Can."
Lin Heng nodded, and carried Xiaoxia and his elder brother to Hongfeng Mountain.
"Dad, Mom, open the door!!"
From a distance, two people shouted at the door, and at the same time the dogs in the breeding base also barked loudly.
