"Wow! This moose is huge. If we can hunt this moose, we'll have a sure win in this 'Man vs. Wild' competition."
"It was really exciting to watch. I also saw wolves, foxes and other animals before. I felt like I was in a primitive arena of nature."
"So far, the location that Fatty chose for the shelter is still very safe. At least I haven't seen any large predators or carnivores in the other cameras."
"Holy crap, the beaver that Fatty shot has surfaced, and it's not moving at all. Is it dead?"
"Look, on the hill to the left of Fatty, there's a musk ox!"
"There are still plenty of resources in this area."
"If Fatty manages to hunt a large animal, then China's participation in 'Man vs. Wild' will be a sure thing until the very end."
........
Li Yinsheng looked in the direction the moose had left, lost in thought, her mind racing with calculations.
Moose are not particularly aggressive, but if they charge and dive at high speed, the consequences of being hit by their sharp antlers are unimaginable. Under normal circumstances, you can avoid a moose's attack.
Laying down a rope, then shooting arrows at the eyes, abdomen, or anus from directly opposite, and slowly wearing down the moose until it is exhausted or bleeds to death, is perhaps the safest hunting method.
Having made up her mind, Li Yinsheng stopped exploring and headed straight home.
When we pass by the beaver's nest again, let's see if we can find the beaver we shot before.
Unexpectedly, the beaver that had been shot miraculously appeared in sight, but it was now curled up at the edge of its nest, stuck in the entrance to the nest by the arrow, and looked extremely weak.
Upon seeing this, Li Yinsheng was overjoyed and quickly fired an arrow, sending the water beaver on its way.
I originally thought I would gain nothing today and even lose an arrow.
To everyone's surprise, the beaver, lost and found, became an unexpected delight.
Li Yinsheng quickly stepped forward, put away the arrows, and carried the beaver towards the shelter.
When we get back to the shelter, we'll go to the lake to clean the beaver. After peeling off its fur, we'll carefully dry it. The soft texture can be used to make several pairs of gloves to keep warm in the cold winter.
Meat is a rare food source. After washing and cutting it into pieces, the internal organs are placed in the fish basket to catch fish. After a simple preparation, we went back.
"Fatty, why are you back so early? Did you catch some game and prepare it? There's quite a bit of meat. What kind of game did you catch?" Wu Jing was chopping wood when he saw Li Yinsheng return and noticed she was carrying a lot of meat. Surprised, he quickly stepped forward and took the beaver meat from Li Yinsheng's hand.
"We were lucky today. We caught a beaver and got about ten catties of meat, which is enough for us to eat for two or three days." Li Yinsheng threw a piece of meat into the country, planning to cook it for lunch. She asked Wu Jing to put the rest of the meat on the smoking rack, planning to smoke it and store it for later.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Fatty, your luck is unbelievable. On the first day, you caught so many squirrels and two grouse, and also picked up more than ten pounds of nuts."
The next day, they found a patch of mushrooms and also hunted a grouse and four wild ducks.
On the third day, they caught a beaver. Peng Yuyan was completely impressed by the fat girl's skills and luck.
"I'll make lunch first, then I have something to tell you," Li Yinsheng said solemnly to Wu Jing, Peng Yuyan, and Bai Jingting.
The three men were surprised to see the chubby girl looking so serious, something they had never seen before. They wondered if something had happened, and the three men immediately stopped laughing and became serious. They looked at each other and stared at each other in bewilderment.
However, Li Yinsheng was busy making lunch and did not notice the subtle changes in the three of them. Her mind seemed to be completely immersed in the symphony of ingredients and pots and pans in her hands.
Not long after, Li Qin and Yang Chaoyue returned.
He brought back two baskets and a bag of mushrooms.
After bringing the mushrooms back, Li Yinsheng carefully selected them to avoid mixing in any other poisonous mushrooms.
Today's lunch consisted of a boiled piece of beaver meat with some mushrooms, and a roasted wild duck that was heated up. The group shared the meal, which was enough to make them at least 60% full.
"Fatty, when you came back before, you said you had something to tell us. What was it?" After lunch, Wu Jing looked at Li Yinsheng and asked.
"It's a good thing. I saw a moose crossing the river this morning when I was walking along the riverbank."
"I want to shoot this moose." Li Yinsheng perked up as she thought of the moose she had seen that morning.
"I thought something big had happened, but it turns out it's just this. Fatty, you're worried you can't handle that moose by yourself, so you want to find some help, right?" Peng Yuyan teased with a smile, but his eyes were full of understanding and support.
“That’s right, Brother Yan, as you know, moose are huge and strong, and I really don’t have the confidence to do it alone.”
Moreover, if we manage to hunt it successfully, the meat will be enough to feed our entire camp for quite some time, making our victory in "Man vs. Wild" a sure thing. Li Yinsheng's face radiated with a passion for hunting and a sense of responsibility towards the team.
"How to hunt? How to hunt? That's a problem. We're not even sure if the moose is still where you are today. Our shelter isn't even finished yet. In another ten days or so, it will snow. If the shelter isn't finished, we'll face the test of severe cold." Wu Jing took over the conversation, her brows furrowed slightly, her tone filled with worry and deep thought.
"Indeed, time was of the essence, but hunting and building shelter were equally important. So we did both at the same time."
Starting this afternoon, we will stop going out to look for food and focus on building shelter. Based on the prey we have hunted in the past three days, even without going out to look for food, it will be enough to feed us for four or five days. If the fish traps and gillnets we set can catch fish, the food will be even more plentiful and we can eat for even longer.
So, I plan to start tomorrow morning with Jing-ge, Yan-ge, or Xiao-bai taking turns going out with me to search for that moose.
"Once we hunt down a moose, we'll have completely solved our food problem, and we'll be halfway to victory in 'Man vs. Wild'." Li Yinsheng paused, quickly formulating her strategy.
“Okay, let’s do it.” Yang Chaoyue was excited when she heard that they could hunt a moose as big as a moose, and was the first to agree with Li Yinsheng.
"Okay, we'll listen to you, Fatty." The three men and Li Qin looked at each other and nodded.
Comparing Li Yinsheng's analysis
This makes perfect sense; what they need most right now is a stable food source and a safe living environment. Moose are undoubtedly key to solving their food problem, while shelters are the cornerstone of their survival in this wilderness.
Doing it on both sides simultaneously is fine.
