Chapter 300 Great Harvest
How do I get it back?
Not to mention anything else, just these few takins are enough to make them worry!
Although takins are not cattle, they belong to the Bovidae family.
Takin is commonly known as takin, wild mountain cattle, or argali.
They are called takins because they are as sturdy as cows, rather than slender like sheep.
Takins mostly live in meadows and roam between cliffs as if they were walking on flat ground.
They are social creatures, with small groups of only 3-5 individuals and large groups of 20-30 or even up to 50 individuals.
It mainly feeds on various branches, bamboo leaves, grass, seeds, etc.; it also has a salt-loving habit.
A normal adult wild takin usually weighs around 400 kilograms.
The three adult antelopes in front of Ning Yuan and his companions are of this size.
The smaller ones at both ends weigh around 200 kilograms.
These five takins alone weigh almost 1,600 to 1,700 kilograms!
In addition, four or five wild ducks were hunted.
It weighs several dozen kilograms.
It can be said that Ning Yuan and his team’s hunting goal for today has been achieved, even exceeded!
Including the leopard and the deer, their harvest exceeded two thousand kilograms.
The most important thing right now is to find a way to transport these wild animals back!
After thinking about it, Ning Yuan could only chop some branches and make three or four simple wooden frames, which everyone took turns dragging.
Fortunately, they didn't actually walk too far. It was only about two hours away from the village in Fu'an Township.
After everyone worked together and quickly built four sled frames, their arms began to ache and their stomachs began to growl.
At this time, the sun had just reached its zenith.
So even Ning Yuan was a little puzzled, knowing that this period of time should be the time when there are the most wild animals in the Qinling Mountains.
However, isn’t this efficiency a bit too scary?
In fact, this is really like a full man not knowing the hunger of a hungry man.
Damn, if other people could fire a dozen Type 56 semi-automatic rifles at the same time instead of those homemade rifles or hunting rifles, they could also "bang bang bang!" and shoot down so many prey.
Wu Zhongguo and his men ate all the wild animals without leaving any, and distributed them almost evenly according to their weight onto four wooden sleds. Then they started to make a fire and prepare to eat something.
Everyone took out the roasted lamb they had cut when they came out in the morning.
After stringing them together with branches and roasting them over the fire, he lowered his head and began to chew them.
The actual barbecue is still very useful.
After these guys finished eating the barbecue, Wu Zhongguo, Tian Erliang and the others were obviously thirsty.
He actually went straight to the river and prepared to scoop up some raw water to drink.
When Ning Yuan saw this, he quickly pulled them back, and secretly took out two iron basins from the space, pretending to take them out from the khaki cloth bag on his back.
After reaching the river, he got some river water, put it on the fire and boiled it, then distributed some to everyone to quench their thirst.
After eating and drinking, Ning Yuan led everyone to start pulling the sled separately.
Twelve people, four wooden sleds.
Two people pulled the trigger, and one held a gun to guard the way.
Then walk a while and take turns.
Each sled carries only about 500 kilograms of prey.
It was not too difficult for two people to pull it, and the road was all grass, not a sandy mountain road, so the resistance was much smaller.
Ning Yuan and the others were chatting and laughing all the way. Although it was quite tiring, it was not as difficult as they had imagined to pull it back.
We even saw a few pear and apple trees along the way.
In the Qinling Mountains, there is actually no shortage of these fruit trees.
Apple trees, pear trees, apricot trees, peach trees, and orange trees a little further south.
These are the most common types of fruit trees in the Qinling Mountains. Of course, there are other types of fruit trees as well, but they are not as widespread and numerous as these.
Ning Yuan and his team are currently located in the southern part of the middle section of the mountain range.
The climate is semi-temperate and semi-hot, which is most suitable for the growth of these fruit trees.
Apples and pears also ripen in late summer and early autumn, which is when these two fruits are most delicious.
So, when they came across the fruit trees, everyone stopped to take a break and picked a lot.
Apples are sweet and delicious, full of juice, while pears are sweet and refreshing, very thirst-quenching and heat-relieving.
Ning Yuan ate two pears and two apples in one breath, and then he burped comfortably.
Little Ningwei had never eaten fruit like this before. There was still a lot of flesh on the core of the fruit that he hadn't finished eating, so he just threw it away and started eating the next one.
This is real fruit freedom, a luxury.
Wu Zhongguo, Tian Erliang and others were all defecation-stricken all the way and were extremely thirsty.
But they didn't waste it as casually as Xiao Ningwei.
After eating a few fruits, he climbed up the tree in one breath and picked all the fruits within his reach.
The result was that each of their sleds added nearly 50 kilograms of weight.
However, this amount can be ignored. Moreover, with so many fruits to replenish water, everyone has more energy to drag the sled.
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when Ning Yuan and his group returned to the village. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, everyone was exhausted.
After little Ningwei ran to the door and knocked it open, Meng Qing, Zhang Shengnan and several other female educated youth rushed out to greet him.
When they saw the large sleds filled with wild animals and fruits behind Ning Yuan and the others, they were all so excited that they could hardly contain themselves.
Excitedly, he circled around the sleds, then frantically looked through the harvest.
"Apples, lots of them, and pears too!"
"So many prey, these boys are amazing! Hey Shengnan, look, is this a cow or a sheep?"
A female educated youth pointed at the antelope and asked Zhang Shengnan who was standing beside her.
Zhang Shengnan just came back to his senses, took a look, and shook his head.
"I don't know either, these boys are really like that!!"
"Ah! There's a leopard too! Come and see! There's a leopard and a deer too!"
Another female educated youth on the other side started shouting.
The female educated youths excitedly gathered around the sled to look through the books, while Ning Yuan and his friends sat comfortably on the ground at the door, looking at the female educated youths.
What is a man? A man is someone who can make the women in the family not worry about food and drink.
He just threw the things here and sat down to enjoy them like a big boss.
Sure enough, without Ning Yuan and the others saying anything, the female educated youth had already calmed down from their excitement, and then they each started to busy themselves carrying the prey from the door into the yard.
Ning Yuan and the others each took two pears and ate them. After taking a break, they stood up and helped each other carry the rich harvest into the yard.
Well, the harvest from this trip is enough to feed these twenty people for a while.
Ning Yuan looked at everyone in the yard busy preparing dinner, and he began to think that he should go find Zhong Yuemin, Fatty Fan, and Zou Cheng and his group in the next two days.
Bring more wild animals to improve their food!
