Chapter 386 Hard Kill
The two lynxes did not disappoint Han Li. They drove the sika deer towards him.
According to the route it ran, Han Li could have used a short javelin to kill it.
But if he waited until it ran to the edge of the forest, the sika deer might hit a tree, which would be a pity if the antlers were damaged. So he picked up his hunting rifle and started aiming early.
"Bang."
"Bang."
Because the angle was very suitable, Han Li first hit the hind leg of the sika deer, which made its head light and its tail heavy.
The second shot directly hit its heart, making it lie on the ground after a few steps, and the horns were not hurt at all.
Han Li hurried over and put the sika deer into the decomposition space, and then took out some wild boars to feed the two lynxes.
In the next two days, Han Li collected birch sap every day and walked around nearby to collect some appropriate medicinal herbs.
Without any medicinal herbs, he drank tea, read books, and hummed a few lines of the timeless "Birch Forest" in this beautiful birch forest.
"The quiet village is covered with white snow, pigeons fly under the gloomy sky, and the white birch trees are engraved with those two names.."
He was so leisurely that the two little lynxes brought him prey almost every day.
Since Han Li didn't want squirrels and wild mice for the first time, they usually brought back small animals such as pheasants and hares.
Unexpectedly, they even dragged back a silly roe deer today. It was really hard for these two immature little lynxes.
This also made Han Li feel a bit like a person who suppressed child labor and waited for death.
But this feeling was really good, and Han Li didn't want to change it at all. If possible, he would raise a few more lynxes, so that he could really sit and wait for food.
A larger birch tree can collect about seven liters of birch sap, and a smaller tree can collect about five liters.
Han Li regarded this place as his nest for collecting birch sap in the past few years, so he would not do anything to damage the birch trees.
When the birch sap collected from each tree was almost enough, he would let it go, but because the natural flow rate was too slow, Han Li stopped for two more days before leaving the birch forest.
Although Han Li wanted to continue to go deeper into the mountains and explore places he had never been to, he wasted too much time collecting birch sap this time, and his wife would be worried if he spent too much time.
Moreover, when Han Li returned, he planned to go to the beehive he had recovered last time. The weather was almost the same now. If conditions allowed, he planned to divide the beehives, so that he could have more beehives and naturally more linden honey.
Han Li seemed very greedy. He would never let go of mushrooms, wild fruits, medicinal herbs, etc., as long as he could see them.
Even the big trees that fell naturally were collected by him into the decomposition space, and now he wanted to let the bees divide the nests because he wanted to get more linden honey.
In fact, it was not that Han Li was too greedy, but that he knew that he was just a lazy and unambitious mortal who had no ability and could not stop the trend of the world.
Even if he did not collect these things, animals, mushrooms, wild fruits, and medicinal materials, only one in ten would be left in the future, and this proportion might even become even less.
Because after the reform and opening up, the South was the first to enjoy this policy, and at that time they needed a lot of wood.
The vast forests in the Northeast were targeted by those merchants, so many factories and individuals came here to purchase wood.
Under the temptation of money, trees in many places in the three northeastern provinces would be cut down wantonly.
The laws at that time were not perfect, and there were no relevant protection clauses in this regard.
And those people who were blinded by money were very scary. Whoever stopped them from cutting would block their money.
There is an old saying that cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents, which is an irreconcilable hatred.
At that time, the many varieties of wooden warehouses, bows and arrows, and knives hidden among the people would not mind eating meat.
In fact, in that era, not only those who prevented them from getting rich would become "difficult to say", but even many of their peers also became "difficult to say" because of the territory.
Otherwise, how do you think "certain" stories come from? They are all adapted from real social cases.
Art comes from life. Isn't the saying "the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish" collected from the folks?
It's just that when people cut down these trees, it's quite simple. They use axes and saws to greet the trees for a while, and when they are about to fall, they shout "fall up the mountain" or "fall down the mountain".
If the trees all over the mountains and plains are like this, then the animals here can be imagined. If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?
Many people are also more straightforward when they exchange trees for money. They usually eat and drink big fish, big meat, and big wine. They buy radios, televisions, bicycles, washing machines and other electrical appliances at home. Many people live a life far beyond that of city people.
Under people's greedy felling, it will take more than three to five years for such dense and primitive forests to recover.
Take the sturdy and tall linden trees that can be seen everywhere in the mountains. No one would have thought that it would become a precious and key protected plant in the country.
(There are more than 30 kinds of linden trees in my country. The one we are talking about here is the purple linden tree that is unique to the Northeast, not other varieties of linden trees.)
This is not only because of its high economic benefits, but also because of the indiscriminate felling of trees by people, which has caused a devastating blow to it, causing the quantity and quality to drop to a point where it cannot be protected.
Later, botanists in my country wanted to restore the area of Tilia amurensis trees here, but after a long period of research, they found that it was very difficult to grow tilia trees into timber.
Because tilia amurensis mainly reproduces by seeds, if you want tilia amurensis to reproduce offspring, the tree must be at least 30 years old. The older the tilia amurensis tree, the greater the chance of successful reproduction of seeds.
After selecting the trees, all the mature tilia amurensis seeds should be collected in mid-September every year, dried naturally and stored.
Wait until the land thaws in the second year, germinate the seeds in advance, and this process will eliminate a batch.
Then plant it in a special nursery, and this process will also eliminate a batch.
After surviving, it must be carefully managed for more than three years before it can be transplanted outside, and the chance of elimination outside is also very high.
Think about it, it takes so much care to artificially cultivate a linden tree, and the chance of survival is not very ideal.
It would be even more difficult for the purple linden tree in nature to reproduce, and the chance of survival would be even lower.
Han Li might be able to stop three or five people, but he could not change the general trend, let alone stop people's desire to get rich.
Because in that era, everyone wanted to get rich, change their lives, become a millionaire, and become a promising existence in the eyes of others.
Han Li knew that if he did not collect more linden honey during this period, he would have to wait until at least 2000 AD to drink authentic linden honey in the future.
Even after 2000 years, at least 99% of the linden honey on the market is husk linden honey.
Only the honey collected from the purple linden tree is what the ancient royal nobles enjoyed, although both the purple linden honey and the husk linden honey have a faint scent of linden flowers and a strong fruity aroma, and the crystals are milky white or light milky yellow.
However, the taste of purple linden honey is better. In addition, it can nourish and adjust the nervous system, soothe emotions, calm the mind, enable people to quickly fall asleep, improve sleep quality, and drink purple linden honey. It has the effect of strengthening the brain and improving intelligence, and helps improve memory.
Because the largest purple linden forest is specially protected, and there is also a species comparable to the national treasure level that is also protected in the largest linden forest, that is, the native bee species "Chinese honey bee".
Chinese honey bees have strong ability to collect sporadic nectar sources, strong adaptability to my country's climate, strong cold resistance, especially wintering ability, which is more suitable for survival in the Northeast. It is also because people cut down forests wantonly that they have become national treasure species.
The bees raised by beekeepers are another species, because this kind of bees have better adaptability and resistance to bacteria and mites, high bee production, less diseases and pests, and can also have an additional product called propolis.
So they were selected by beekeepers and taken all over the country, but it is not known whether these bees carry any bacteria or mites that are harmful to Chinese honey bees, and the number and characteristics of the bee colonies cannot be checked one by one.
Therefore, the bees of those beekeepers are not allowed to enter the largest purple linden forest at all. If they enter, they will be killed by special personnel.
Because of this, the bees raised by these beekeepers can only collect honey from the linden trees and scattered purple linden trees outside.
But the reputation of purple linden honey is too big. The bees of these beekeepers have only landed on one purple linden tree, and they dare to say that they have pure purple linden honey in their hands.
Later, these people will gradually blur the concept of purple linden honey and turn it into linden honey, but people who have not done serious research in this regard don’t know it at all.
Take Han Li for example. He also thought that linden honey was linden honey at first. He studied the "Yuyitang Records" carefully during the winter and knew the difference.
However, compared with the honey full of technology and hard work in the later period, the things in the hands of the beekeepers at that time were definitely conscientious goods.
Han Li climbed over two hills today. At this moment, he sat on a big rock on the top of the mountain and looked at the sky in the distance.
There were two eagles circling there, and they must have found some prey.
Han Li didn't care whether it was prey or not, he just wanted to see where the two eagles would fly to in the end.
If it was on the way, Han Li wouldn't mind turning a corner to visit the other side's nest.
It would be better if there were little eagles inside, but he wouldn't mind if there weren't these two big ones.
At this moment, the lynx that was lying beside him suddenly stood up, with its hair standing up, baring its teeth and growling at the woods below.
Then he heard the sound of trees colliding in the woods, and Han Li's mood suddenly became nervous.
Although the sparrows were exploring in other directions, they couldn't tell Han Li what was over there.
But in this season, only the blind bear could make such a noise.
The blind bear that had just woken up from hibernation would never do useless work, and the blind bear was the weakest at this time.
Han Li thought of this and looked around. The environment was pretty good. The snow had almost melted. At least it wasn't like last time when he stepped on the snow and his calves and knees sank. This way, he wouldn't be hindered by the environment whether he was attacking or dodging.
So he couldn't suppress the eagerness in his heart. Yes, Han Li wanted to hunt a bear himself. Even if the other party was a weaker bear, it would be a good challenge for him.
Han Li thought about his previous encounters with bears, all of which were done by taking shortcuts, shooting and picking up leaks.
If he could tell others about this, it would be a bit disappointing. If he could kill a bear head-on this time, he would be able to make up for the regret in his heart. After all, who doesn't have a heroic dream in their heart? After this battle, he would have something to brag about to his friends and descendants.
Moreover, there are many benefits when fighting with bears head-on. Han Li doesn't have to shrink back like when facing people. He can fight freely, which makes him more familiar with the strength he has practiced.
Do it as soon as you think of it. Han Li stood up and cleared the burden on his body, looking at the place where the trees were shaking.
