Chapter 365: Harvest, Homesickness
Han Li was leaning against the fire pit at this moment, holding an enamel cup in his arms, drinking tea while thinking about the Siberian tiger.
The pot above the fire pit was stewing the hare caught by the lynx, and a few sesame cakes were placed on the stone slab next to it and were being roasted, and the steam from the pot was diffused above the pit.
The next day, Han Li's biological clock woke him up on time as usual.
After the lynx confirmed that there was no danger outside, Han Li came out.
However, when practicing boxing today, he couldn't find the feeling of yesterday, and in the end, he roared without the taste of yesterday.
Han Li was not a person who would get stuck in a rut, so he shook his head and went back to the pit to wash and eat.
After dinner, he checked the traps set yesterday and found that he had caught a fox and a hare, which was much better than yesterday.
He put away the traps and started to rush towards the hill in front. Today might be Han Li's luck.
When he just climbed over a hill, a sparrow flew over and told him that there was a large group of wild boars in the woods below.
Han Li was on the top of the mountain, looking at the situation in the distance. He could tell that there were about 20 to 30 wild boars.
However, it was not night this time, so it was a bit unrealistic for him to set traps and catch all the wild boars like last time.
But Han Li was a little unwilling to let them go. How much meat could these wild boars provide him?
No, these wild boars were all pests. If they were not killed today, they might go down the mountain to harm the villagers' crops one day, so it was better to kill them all at once.
It was better to observe closer than to think about it now. Han Li tightened his coat and started walking down the mountain.
When he reached the middle of the mountain, Han Li found a cave. He did not find any wild animals in the range covered by his mental power.
However, Han Li was worried and asked the lynx to go in and take a look. He went in only after confirming that there was no danger.
There were heavy traces of smoke and fire in one corner of the cave. This meant that someone had lived here for a period of time. However, there were only feces and hair left by animals. It seemed that no one had come in for a long time.
Han Li walked around the cave and didn't find anything unexpected, so he turned around and walked out.
However, when he reached the entrance of the cave and looked at the forest below the mountain, he stopped, thinking that due to food restrictions in this season, wild animals rarely migrate on a large scale. So he might as well stay in this cave now to recuperate and catch all the wild boars at night according to the last method.
Let the lynx monitor the wild boars from a distance, Han Li turned around and began to clean the cave. For safety, he blocked the entrance with wood. After doing all this, Han Li started to make a fire and boil water. After drinking a cup of hot tea, he lay down in his clothes and went to sleep.
At night, Han Li was awakened by the lynx's humming. He rubbed his eyes, opened the wooden door and followed them to the place where the wild boars slept.
The wild boars dug a big pit in the snow, and all the wild boars slept together.
Han Li walked downwind all the way, and didn't even wear big-foot snowshoes, so he didn't alarm the wild boars.
Following the method used last time, many traps were set up around the area, all of which were filled with sharp wooden stakes.
After doing all this, Han Li turned around and came to the upwind side of the wild boars and fired a shot at the wild boars.
At this time, the two lynxes also roared on both sides. After being startled, the wild boars all ran towards the traps as Han Li thought.
Then there were piercing screams, and the strong smell of blood drifted around.
Han Li came to the trap and quickly and simply decomposed the wild boars. He used a short javelin to fill the ones that were not dead.
Then he filled the trap and quickly returned to the cave with the lynx, and took out the two largest wild boar hearts as rewards for the two little things.
After Han Li added firewood to the fire pit, he lay down and went to sleep. As for the two little guys, they stayed in the cave today.
The next day, Han Li opened his eyes and lit the lantern next to him, and then began to knead his hands and feet that were numb from the cold.
This cave is still too big. A bonfire and an Athena torch can't keep the temperature here.
Han Li thought to himself at this time, if only he could control a monkey now, the little monkey could help him add firewood when he encounters such a situation in the future.
Unfortunately, the climate of this vast and endless forest is not suitable for primates to survive, and there is no monkey at all.
The space inside the cave is relatively large, so Han Li doesn't need to go out to practice boxing today.
After washing and having a simple breakfast, Han Li put away all his things and opened the wooden door.
The two lynxes ran out first. As soon as Han Li walked out of the cave and closed the wooden door, he heard the two little guys growling at the woods at the foot of the mountain.
Han Li's expression condensed and his eyes turned to the woods where he hunted wild boars last night. Unfortunately, his eyesight did not see anything unusual.
So he sent the sparrow out, and Han Li stood guard with his hunting rifle.
After a while, the sparrows flew back. According to their description, there was a beast smaller than the Siberian tiger climbing on the tree. The trap that Han Li had filled yesterday was also dug a little.
This..., a beast smaller than the Siberian tiger can climb a tree. If Han Li guessed correctly, the one climbing on the tree below should be a Siberian leopard.
But what is he meowing about? Yesterday he encountered a Siberian tiger, and today he encountered a Siberian leopard. He didn't want to mess with either of these two cat giants.
Of course, if the two lynxes were released, they would have a chance to fight against the Siberian leopard, but this time was different from the time when he teased the brown bear.
The little lynxes could be killed or maimed by the Siberian leopard if they were not careful, and Han Li was reluctant to let the two little guys take risks.
Han Li turned around and went in other directions, cursing. In order to prevent accidents, he specially sent a sparrow to watch the movements of the Siberian leopard.
In the next two days, Han Li did not encounter beasts like the Siberian tiger again, and the harvest was barely worthy of his hard work.
On the first day, Han Li hunted two sika deer. The two lynxes worked together to hold one back. On the same day, he harvested three sika deer, two flying dragons, and a thick wild grape vine. After returning home, he cut them into several sections, which were enough for several families to plant in the yard.
Today, they encountered a group of wild goats. Han Li stabbed two to death with a short javelin and shot one with a shotgun.
The two lynxes each bit one, and were solved by Han Li who arrived later. A total of five wild goats were harvested today.
This goat's blood is a good thing. Han Li tried not to waste a drop of it. He might use it someday.
However, when setting up camp today, Han Li wanted to go home a little bit. He couldn't sit still in the temporary pit.
Simply put, Han Li had played enough in the wild these days and missed the warm bed with soft jade in his arms. In addition, he endured too much hardship every morning, so Han Li dared to practice the Spring Breeze and Rain Jue only once.
But no matter what, he had to wait until tomorrow to rush back, so he had to sleep first.
The next day, Han Li completed his daily exercise, washed up, had breakfast, packed up everything, and said to the sparrows.
"Go home, find the shortest route home, we will go home today."
Han Li's journey was almost like a forced march. He let go of some small prey that could be hunted or not. Except for a fox and two hares brought by a lynx, he had no other gains.
But Han Li went out a little far this time, and the road was difficult to walk, so he still had to spend the night in the wild tonight.
But will Murphy's Law work this time?
