Chapter 130 Ringing the Bell
Han Li's short javelin was now very accurate, and he nailed the badger to the ground with one move.
Before he could take a closer look at the badger, four of them suddenly jumped out of the cave, poking their nest.
And the four badgers rushed towards Han Li with their teeth and claws bared, which really scared him.
They are indeed animals with the word "badger" in their names, and their concept of fighting if they don't obey is exactly the same as that of the African flat-headed brother.
At this time, the short javelin on his waist was no longer suitable, and Han Li didn't want to be bitten or grabbed by them.
Han Li pulled out the wooden spear inserted in the cave entrance and turned around, directly knocking the two badgers in front to the side.
Then the wooden spear stabbed forward and pierced the back of the third one's head directly from its mouth.
Han Li used both hands to pull the wooden spear back, and shook the tip of the spear to throw the body aside.
Then he pushed the wooden spear forward again, and the fourth badger enjoyed the treatment of the previous one.
However, this wooden spear also died, and at this time, the two badgers that were just knocked away were surrounded by several dogs with bared teeth.
The dogs were not as big as the badgers, but they all did not retreat, baring their teeth and roaring at the badgers.
The Yun sisters followed tremblingly with wooden spears, and the two sides were now in a stalemate.
"You two stay away."
Han Li said as he pulled out another wooden spear from the cave entrance with his left hand, dragged it and ran over there.
At this time, he also took out a short javelin from his waist with his right hand and threw it at one of the badgers.
The short javelin nailed directly into the body of the badger closest to them with a sound of breaking through the air. Although the Yun sisters did not shout out, they shuddered obviously.
Han Li also came to the last badger at this time. At first, Han Li planned to stab it to death, but after seeing several dogs, the wooden spear changed from stabbing to sweeping along the ground.
"Bang, crack."
Then came the screams of the badger. Han Li broke at least three of its four legs. The Yun sisters shuddered again, holding their legs.
The matter was not over yet. The wooden spear in Han Li's hand smashed into the badger's mouth, and its mouthful of teeth was almost gone.
Han Li held back his strength in the last blow. The badger was not dead yet, but it was no longer a threat.
Han Li threw the wooden spear aside and said to the dogs.
"Bite it to death."
The dogs pounced on them directly, and Han Li walked towards the Yun sisters without even looking at them and asked with a smile.
"How are you not scared?"
Yun Yingying came to her senses at this time, and she pointed at the badger that was nailed in front of her and was not dead yet.
"I heard that the badger mentioned in Mr. Zhou Shuren's hometown is the badger. The badger in the book doesn't seem to be so ferocious?"
Han Li: "What you learn from books is shallow. What you see with your own eyes is so real. Besides, there are many kinds of badger. As far as I know, there are dogs, hogs, wolverines, honey badgers, and weasels. The badger described by Mr. Zhou Shuren may be another kind."
Yun Yingying said with admiration: "Han Li, you know a lot. What kind of badger did we encounter today?"
"You can see that these badgers have three white vertical hairs on their heads, one on each side of the cheek, and the middle one from the tip of the nose to the top of the head. The hair on their backs is hard and dense, mostly white, and only at the end is it white. There is a little black inside, and the mouth and belly are black, so they should be badgers. These badgers like to move in groups, and their power to harm crops is no less than that of voles. "
"What do the hog badgers, wolverines, honey badgers, and weasels look like?"
Han Li smiled and said, "I only know that the hog badgers should look similar to the badgers, and the wolverines are larger and more ferocious, but I don't know much about the others."
Yun Jingjing pulled her sister and said, "Let's clean up the scene quickly, otherwise the bloody smell will attract other animals. "
At this time, several dogs had bitten the disabled badger to death. The only pity was that the fur was badly damaged.
Han Li cut a few pieces of meat from the badger they bit to death and threw them out as a reward. The two who worked harder got the most meat.
Three of the five badgers weighed more than 20 kilograms, and the two slightly smaller ones weighed more than 10 kilograms. Of course, they would be even smaller after skinning and removing the internal organs.
Han Li cut a tree trunk to make a shoulder pole and tied the badger to both ends of the pole.
After finishing, the three people did not stay where they were, but quickly walked towards the small ditch in the mountain.
Because there were many villagers entering the mountain at this time, Han Li had been letting sparrows explore the way to avoid running into people.
Yun Yingying had been looking at the dogs on the road, and finally couldn't help asking.
"Han Li, why did you let the dog bite the last badger to death after you crippled it?"
"When these dogs are bigger, they will follow me into the mountains to hunt. Letting them bite the badger to death will increase their bloodiness. I crippled the badger because it is bigger than the dog. You can see that they are full of sharp teeth, especially the claws are sharp, thick, long and crescent-shaped. They are very sharp at first glance. If a dog is hit by this, it will be seriously injured. If it bites one of them and doesn't let go, the dog may be finished."
After turning several corners, they finally came to a small ditch where few people come.
Han Li hung the badger on a tree and began to try skinning an animal for the first time in his life.
Since the subcutaneous fat of the badger will be used to make oil later, Han Li peeled it very carefully. He said as he peeled the skin.
"This badger is a treasure. The meat has a strong nourishing effect, especially for weak spleen and stomach, insufficient qi and blood, and old and weak body. Moreover, these five badgers can make a lot of badger oil. This thing is very effective in treating burns, and it is not easy to leave scars. As for the badger skin, it is even better. It is very effective in keeping out cold and moisture. When someone tans it, you can make it into a cushion. When you sit on the snow, it will be fine."
Yun Yingying: "One badger skin can make several cushions. How about we make the rest into small mattresses?"
"You have the final say on this. As long as you want to do whatever you want."
"Han Li..."
Yun Jingjing looked at her sister standing closely beside Han Li. When the two talked and interacted, she seemed to have eaten a large bowl of unknown food. She quickly spoke to interrupt the ambiguity between them.
"Will it be too conspicuous if we take them back now?"
Han Li thought for a while and said, "Pick up the smallest one and take it back to walk on the open road. If someone sees it, they will say that we dug up a badger when digging a vole hole. I will take the others back after dark."
Han Li peeled one of the Yun sisters and took it to the river to rinse it, and rinsed the badger skin and meat clean.
After hanging it up to drain the water, it was wrapped with leaves, tied with grass stems and put into the backpack.
These badgers were not wasted at all on Han Li's side. The skin and meat were taken back for personal use, and the internal organs were thrown to the dogs as a snack.
After this was done, Han Li took the four badgers and turned around. The Yun sisters put the smallest badger in the backpack, and all the fat meat of the badgers went to the village.
But their worries seemed a bit redundant. The villagers were busy now, and no one asked them what they had gained.
After returning home, Yun Jingjing cut off all the fat meat of the badger and asked her sister to rinse it clean.
She chopped all the remaining lean meat into small pieces, and then put them in a large basin to soak out the blood.
At this time, Yun Jingjing asked her sister to light the fire, and she prepared to boil the fat meat to make badger oil.
This process is similar to boiling lard, and it needs to be boiled slowly over a low fire.
Yun Yingying sat below and burned the fire, but her eyes were fixed on the lean meat in the basin.
"Sister, why does this badger meat look so much like beef? Do you think it tastes good?"
Yun Yingying: "I don't know if it tastes good, but I heard that badger meat is very effective. In addition to the points Han Li mentioned, I heard that badger meat can also treat female infertility."
"Really? Who did you hear this from?"
"Aunt Qin in our hospital once asked someone to find a medicine for her daughter-in-law."
"Didn't Aunt Qin's daughter-in-law get pregnant in the end? Their family often quarreled because of this."
"I just heard it casually at the beginning. I don't know if it is useful. But even if badger meat is useful, how much meat can their family get back? If there is only a little meat, it can't even fill the gaps between teeth. Can you still expect it to cure diseases?"
"That's right. No matter how good the folk remedy is, it is not a magic pill. If the amount is small, it will definitely not work. If we have five badgers like us now, if we eat all of them, infertility will be put aside."
Yun Jingjing looked at her sister for a while, and then said earnestly.
"Pregnancy is something that can only happen after marriage. You should be more careful in the future and don't do anything embarrassing."
"Sister, you are wrong to say that."
The two sisters were talking while the badger oil was already cooked. When Yun Yingying picked up a piece of oil residue and put it in her mouth, she frowned quickly.
"Sister, try this badger meat. It tastes too strong. It has turned into oil residue and still has a smell."
Yun Jingjing tasted a piece and also felt a strong earthy smell.
"Go and change the water for the soaked badger meat several times. Let's soak out all the blood before we eat it."
"Can't we put more chili?"
"This is the first time we eat badger meat. If we put too much chili, it will be difficult to taste what it tastes like, so let's soak it for a while longer."
At this time, the village bell rang, and Han Lizheng had not returned with a few dogs.
"Is there something going on with the bell ringing at this time?"
"I don't know, let's go and take a look."
The Yun sisters washed the oil off their hands and walked out. As soon as they went out, they ran into Hao Hongmin and He Mi who were also going to the grain drying field.
