Chapter 513 Every Grain Belongs to the Public
Han Li ate and drank enough, boiled a pot of water to warm his feet, added enough firewood to the fireplace, took out the deerskin and wolf skin, spread it out, and lay down to sleep.
The deep mountains in this season are still relatively quiet, with only occasional roars of beasts and calls of owls.
But in Han Li's cabin, there is only the slight sound of his breathing, and the crackling sound of burning firewood in the fireplace next to him.
A dreamless night, the next day Han Li opened his eyes and touched the deerskin mattress below before remembering that he had entered the mountain.
He communicated with the two lynxes outside with his mental power, and got feedback that there was no danger before getting dressed and getting out of bed.
At the door, as last year, there were several pheasants and hares caught by the lynxes, and this time there was also a fox.
Han Li directly decomposed these preys, put the edible ones into the decomposition space, and left the ones that people could not eat for them and crows to eat. Finally, he stroked the heads of the lynxes and began his daily exercise.
After dinner, Han Li started to collect birch sap, and let the crows get familiar with the environment around here and let them know if there were any large prey.
Watching the crows fly away with a cackle, Han Li shook his head. The crows' cries were too unpleasant, so he just kept them in his hands. It would be good if others didn't kill them.
Maybe it was because of the land boundary. No large animals were encountered here last year, and the situation was the same this year.
However, Han Li was also tied up by birch sap these two days. He could only collect some suitable herbs and fallen trees nearby, and sit in the sun to boil some hot water and make a cup of tea. Don't be too leisurely when you read a book or take a nap.
On the contrary, the two lynxes had harvests almost every day, and even the crows brought back a pheasant, but the pheasant died miserably, and its feathers were almost pecked out by the crows.
Han Li stayed in this birch forest for more than three days, collected all the big trees, and left here.
As soon as he walked out of the birch forest and crossed a mountain pass, the crows above Han Li's head began to cackle and speak more clearly.
"There is food ahead, there is large food ahead."
Han Li knew that crows had a keen sense of smell. They could often catch the smell of creatures that were about to die or decay a few miles away. However, there were generally no decaying animals in the deep mountains at this season, so there was the smell of animals that were about to die ahead.
Whether the animal ahead was being chased by a beast or seriously injured by itself, it was now discovered by the crows, which meant that it was not far from death. Han Li immediately sped up and followed the crows to run forward.
But when they were almost there, the two lynxes suddenly stopped, their ears kept shaking, their noses began to sniff wildly, and finally let out a low roar ahead and continued to rush forward, but this time their pace slowed down a lot.
After running forward for a distance again, the two lynxes turned around and roared at Han Li, and then suddenly accelerated and rushed out.
Han Li also stopped and looked forward. It turned out that a huge moose had fallen from the cliff for some unknown reason. It was lying on the ground, shaking its head with only one horn left, and swinging its tail to resist the attacks of the lynx and crows.
However, since the crows had discovered it from such a distance, it meant that the moose was not far from death. Instead of letting it suffer like this, it would be better to be kind and send it off.
"Get out of the way."
Han Li shouted and took out the double-barreled shotgun. With a click, he pulled the safety and shot at the moose's head.
The moose's four legs were completely motionless after a few twists.
However, just as Han Li was about to step forward to disassemble the spoils, two lynxes roared in one direction to warn.
Han Li turned around and saw a brown bear coming from a distance. Judging from its messy fur and thin appearance, it could be guessed that it had just been out of the warehouse not long ago and had not yet fully replenished its fat.
The brown bear paused for a moment because of the lynx's roar, but then it roared and rushed over.
This action made Han Li laugh. He was originally considering whether to take down this not-so-fat bear, but he didn't expect that this stupid bear would dare to ignore his existence.
There was still a bullet in the shotgun, and Han Li raised the gun and fired at the stupid bear.
"Bang."
"Roar."
This shot directly broke one of the brown bear's front paws, causing it to fall and slide a long way before stopping.
Han Li had the experience of fighting a bear in close combat last time, and he knew that a three-legged bear would be more ferocious, so after he fired the gun, he put it behind him, and in his hand there was a short javelin that he had just taken out of the decomposition space.
Whoosh, whoosh, one hit the other intact front paw of the brown bear, and the other pierced directly into the opponent's open mouth.
Roar. Woo.
The brown bear cried a few times before lying on the ground and twitching. However, Han Li did not intend to pay attention to it until it was dead. He turned around and went to deal with the moose.
When dissecting it, Han Li found that two of the four legs of the moose were broken, but the real reason why it could not move and wait to die was that its spine was broken.
The meat that can be eaten after dissecting the moose is about 700 kilograms, and all this meat is picked up for free.
After Han Li cleaned up the moose, the brown bear not far away was also completely dead.
After breaking it down, Han Li quickly left here, but not far away he found that the moose had another horn broken. Does this count as a fair return?
Han Li's biggest goal of this trip has been achieved, and the days ahead will be relatively leisurely, mainly because it has to be.
Han Li's next destination is the hills where he raises bees, but without a familiar sparrow to lead the way, he can only slowly head there.
However, Han Li's leisure was completely disrupted two days later. Today, after he crawled out of the temporary shack, the weather became wrong at noon.
First, the wind became stronger and the air became colder, and then there were sporadic snowflakes and raindrops falling from the sky.
Han Li saw that it was going to rain and snow. He didn't know how long it would last and how low the temperature would drop, so it was not suitable to sleep in the cellar hut. Moreover, he was now halfway up the mountain, and it was not realistic to build a cellar, so he quickly asked the crow to find a cave nearby where he could spend the night.
Fortunately, God still favored Han Li, and the crow found a cave that could be lived in after a while.
However, when Han Li arrived nearby, he felt that this place was very familiar. He thought carefully that he had lived in this cave last year, and that night he lived here, he used a trap to kill a group of wild boars at the foot of the mountain.
There were no wild beasts in the range covered by Han Li's spiritual power, but the environment in the cave was really a bit bad. The feces and hair of various wild beasts and birds were almost everywhere, which increased Han Li's workload a lot.
Fortunately, he had the golden finger, so it didn't take too much time to clean up.
After Han Li cleaned the cave, he installed a wooden door at the entrance of the cave, just like last year, to prevent wild beasts from attacking and to block the invasion of wind and rain.
However, Han Li looked at the thick black clouds outside, and he always felt that the rain and snow would not last too long.
So Han Li finally made two wooden doors. There was a small hole under the outer door, which allowed the two lynxes to come in and hide from the rain at any time, and Han Li did not need to come to watch the door when they wanted to go out.
After installing the wooden door, Han Li built a fire pit in the cave to light a fire, boil water and make tea.
At this time, the sound of wind and snow outside was getting louder and louder. Han Li was a little annoyed reading a book in the cave with the help of the lantern and the bonfire of the fire pit.
When he had nothing to do, he started to process and decompose the meat in the space. If the rain and snow did not stop tomorrow morning, Han Li planned to take a dose and practice the three-body style in the cave.
But Han Li did not have a big pot, so he could only decompose the meat into fist-sized pieces, then marinate it with salt and various seasonings for a while, and finally put it on the barbecue rack he built to start grilling.
At first, Han Li ate two skewers for the sake of novelty, and finally, as long as they were roasted, he would quickly put them into the decomposition space.
Oh~ In the middle, he roasted two skewers for the two lynxes to taste, and as for the crows, they could just eat the entrails of the beasts.
I don’t know if the aroma of barbecue drifted away, or the recent owner of this cave came back, but in the evening, Han Li heard the sound of two lynxes fighting outside the cave.
He stretched out his mental power and saw that the one fighting with the two lynxes was actually a large badger.
Looking at its dark brown hair, the hair is long and fluffy, and the tail hair is even more fluffy. There is a light brown horizontal band on both sides of the body, which merges from the shoulder to the tail to form a semi-circular crescent-shaped band pattern.
The body length is about one meter, with a big head and ears, a curved back, short and strong limbs, and long curved claws that cannot be retracted. It looks like a badger, has a tail like a marten, has bear-like feet, and calls like a dog. This is clearly a wolverine that Han Li has never seen.
This wolverine was much bigger than the badgers Han Li had killed before, and it was also more ferocious.
However, it was teased around by two lynxes with extremely fast reactions. It couldn't enter the cave, nor could it escape. This made the wolverine howl on the spot. In the end, it didn't defend itself at all when facing the attack of the lynx. It looked ferocious and wanted to exchange injuries for injuries.
One of the lynxes was almost bitten by the wolverine. Seeing this, Han Li quickly opened the wooden door and walked out.
He held a long javelin in his hand, stepped forward and shot the wolverine distracted by the lynx directly in the forehead.
Bang..
The wolverine screamed and was knocked away, and Han Li shook his head helplessly when he saw his results.
He had originally intended to pierce the wolverine's forehead, but who knew that he accidentally blew up the opponent's head.
However, this wolverine was larger in size, and it had more badger skin, badger oil, and badger meat, and the stuff was of higher quality than the badgers Han Li had hunted before.
This wolverine was not easy to come across, so Han Li decided to keep the stuff from it for his family.
After Han Li dissected the wolverine, its useless internal organs were the prizes for the two lynxes.
With the extra income from the wolverine, Han Li decided to continue grilling meat after returning to the cave. He now had his back against the cave and a thick wooden door in front of him, so he could fight even if a Siberian tiger came. Now he didn't know if the aroma of the barbecue could surprise him again.
