Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"Xiu Lan, I'm going up the mountain."

After Xiong Ba finished his meal, Lin Heng untied his iron chain and set off to the mountain.

"Go ahead, be careful."

Xiu Lan nodded. She was going to help plant sweet potatoes in the afternoon and would not go up the mountain.

"Woof woof!"

Xiong Ba looked up to the sky and barked loudly. He rushed out first, walked a short distance and turned back, and whimpered at Lin Heng's feet.

The forest for felling trees was on the mountain behind the house, and the forest in the middle of the mountain belonged to his family.

At this time, the sound of felling trees could be heard. The four of them, including his father, had already gone up the mountain to work.

Lin Heng took a bow and arrow and took Xiong Ba to cross the mountain to look in the ditch behind. At this time, finding prey in the forest depends entirely on luck.

Xiong Ba urinated every two steps and looked back at Lin Heng, as if he was afraid that he would get lost.

"The second boy of the Lin family, are you going up the mountain to hunt?" Not long after walking, someone greeted Lin Heng.

Lin Heng took a look and remembered that it was the uncle of the Wang family in the village, a figure of his father's generation: "Yes, let's try our luck."

After saying that, Lin Heng took Xiongba and walked over quickly.

Seeing Lin Heng walking away, the uncle of the Wang family shook his head and laughed: "This second-rate guy is still hunting, and he is holding a bow and arrow, which is embarrassing."

Obviously, in his opinion, Lin Heng was just blindly taking the exam for the top scholar - embarrassing.

Although the distance was far, Lin Heng still heard this and remembered it silently.

Soon into the forest, Xiongba suddenly became alert, and stopped making any sound. He looked around and smelled the breath on the ground from time to time.

This was obviously in the hunting state.

Lin Heng also looked around, but the leaves were too thick, the vision was limited, and he could hardly see any prey.

After walking nearly two kilometers to the top of the mountain, Lin Heng found something valuable - a bunch of kidney essence grass growing on the stone wall, also called Aoao.

This herb is easy to identify, dark green, with long leaves and small yellow medicine bags on the back.

Lin Heng took a look and didn't pull them out. There were too few of them. Let them grow.

"Awoo~"

At this time, Xiongba made a sound, obviously he found something.

Lin Heng walked over and saw it, and couldn't help but smile: "Good dog, you found this."

Xiongba found a small piece of morel. Lin Heng guessed that it had smelled the smell of morel at home and knew it was useful.

Xiongba opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, showed a Samoyed smile, and stretched his head to ask for a touch.

"Well done, if you kill prey today, the internal organs will be yours."

Lin Heng smiled and touched the dog's head, thinking that he could be sure that the old man in his previous life was not lying. Xiongba was really a good dog.

Morel, a rare wild mushroom, a famous edible mushroom, delicious, even comparable to matsutake, has been eaten since ancient times.

Because it is particularly sensitive to the environment and temperature, the number is small and the price is expensive. The fresh one is one yuan per catty, and the dried one can be sold for three or four yuan per catty.

Xiongba found about eleven or twelve morels in this area. They are black morels, scientifically known as black vein morels. They are four or five centimeters high, with a long black cap and small rectangular pits arranged vertically. The stem is milky white.

Lin Heng picked one and smelled it, and couldn't help showing an intoxicated expression. The fragrance of this mushroom is so beautiful, not strong, but very pleasant, and there is no faint earthy smell of red mushrooms.

For a while, Lin Heng's appetite was aroused, and his mouth was full of saliva. If morels are made into soup alone, it will be full of freshness without adding anything.

"It's a pity that there are only seven or eight taels, and the two largest ones were eaten by insects." Lin Heng sighed, but he was reluctant to throw away the two big ones, and put them all into the small backpack he carried with him.

He searched nearby again, but to no avail.

After crossing the ridge, the view in front of him suddenly became bright, because there were two plots of land here, planted with wheat. The breeze blew, and the wheat ears that had already grown were swaying in the wind.

Lin Heng took a look and walked towards the Tongshugou on the upper side. As he walked, he found Xiongba crawling down and slowly moving towards the edge of the wheat field.

"Is there something?"

Lin Heng hurriedly stopped and looked in the direction where Xiongba was. He rubbed his eyes several times before he found the prey.

A gray-haired rabbit eating wheat under the leaves of weeds. If it weren't for Xiongba, he would never have seen it.

He wanted to draw his bow and shoot an arrow, but gave up after looking at the distance: "The distance is too far."

At least a hundred meters away, and there was no obstruction in front, he would definitely be discovered if he moved forward. Instead of doing that, it would be better to see Xiongba's ability.

At this time, Xiongba had crawled forward for more than ten meters, and the rabbit had not discovered it. It had its ears erected and its eyes focused, staring at the rabbit's every move. If there was anything wrong, it would immediately lie down and not move.

The rabbit also stopped from time to time to look, but was avoided by Xiongba.

Seeing this scene, Lin Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, powerful dogs have extremely high hunting instincts without deliberate training."

When the two sides were less than 20 meters apart, the gray rabbit finally found Xiongba, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he ran away without saying a word.

"Woof woof!"

Xiongba also sprinted and chased after him at a high speed. The distance between the two sides kept getting closer and soon disappeared into the woods on the edge of the land.

Lin Heng hurriedly chased after him, but he couldn't even see Xiongba's figure at all, he ran too fast.

"Woof woof~~"

Not long after, Xiongba's voice came.

Lin Heng quickly found Xiongba following the sound. It looked very anxious in front of a hole, and there were many rabbit hairs on the ground.

It was obvious that it failed in its first hunt. It didn't catch the prey and let it run into the hole.

"It's okay, it's already amazing." Lin Heng touched its head and rubbed its chest to encourage it.

Xiongba is still young now. He didn't eat well before and his body hasn't developed yet. It's normal to make mistakes.

Looking at the hole, Lin Heng knew that the rabbit was inside. He turned around and blocked all the holes that were suspected to be exits with stones.

Then he went to find some dry pine needles and took out an aluminum kerosene lighter to light it.

Most of the lighters used in rural areas in this era.

The structure of the kerosene lighter is very simple. The lower part is a cotton ball covered with kerosene, which is connected to the upper part through a cotton core. The upper part has a gear, and under the gear is a flint.

Sparks are emitted by rubbing the flint with the continuous fluctuation of the gear. The sparks ignite the cotton core containing kerosene, and the flame appears.

There were two crisp clicks, and a small yellow flame appeared. It was placed on the dry pine needles, and under the effect of pine resin, it crackled and burned.

Put it at the entrance of the cave, and add some fresh leaves, and white smoke rolled in. Fan it into the cave, and the smoke came out from other places soon.

"Oh no, there is still a hole that is not blocked!"

Lin Heng suddenly found that there was a secret exit that he had not discovered. As soon as he finished speaking, two gray rabbits rushed out with a whoosh.
