Chapter 166: live sable
Chapter 166 The Living Sable
Xu Shiyan stayed at home for one night. On the morning of December 11th, he rode his bicycle and brought some food and hurried up the mountain to replace Sun Xiaofeng.
Sun Xiaofeng lives quite comfortably on the mountain.
The three badgers were skinned by him, the fat meat was boiled in oil, and the lean meat was stewed with carrots.
Seeing Xu Shiyan's return, Sun Xiaofeng still sighed that he could no longer live on the mountain.
Xu Shiyan brought Sun Xiaofeng two hares, a piece of wild pork, and a small jar of badger seed oil for him.
This badger seed oil is a good thing. It is very effective in treating burns and scalds without leaving scars.
Moreover, it can also cure chilblain. Apply badger seed oil to the frostbite and bake it on the fire. The badger seed oil will be absorbed by the skin, and the chilblain will heal slowly.
"Brother, don't say anything polite, take these back and feed them to your family."
Sun Xiaofeng refused, but Xu Shiyan forced it to him.
Finally, Sun Xiaofeng could only accept it, and pushed the car away.
"By the way, Brother Xu, I haven't seen the fox you mentioned, and I don't know where it went."
Before leaving, Sun Xiaofeng suddenly remembered this, and hurriedly told Xu Shiyan.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, I probably ran out to play."
Xu Shiyan wasn't worried at all, that skinny ghost was so smart and smart, he must have known there were outsiders in the venue and refused to come back.
As expected, in the evening, the rascal came back with a pheasant in his mouth.
Xu Shiyan returned to the mountain, and everything returned to normal. Get up early every day and take a walk around the covers, traps, and traps.
Eat breakfast or lead a few dogs into the mountains, and shoot whatever prey they meet.
Or go to the pine forest on the high mountain to trap sables and squirrels, or go to the river to find otter nests to hunt otters.
If Xu Shiyan leads the dog out, the rascal will not follow, and will stay at home honestly.
If Xu Shiyan went out by himself, Lai Pigui would not leave him at all, and had to cling to Xu Shiyan.
Not to mention, it is really useful to bring this guy, the fox's sense of smell and hearing are very good, better than dogs.
You can evade in time when you encounter danger, and you can also help Xu Shiyan find the nests of otters, raccoons, and badgers.
With such a right-hand assistant, Xu Shiyan's harvest is also exceptionally rich, and he has accumulated a lot of skins.
On this day, Xu Shiyan stepped on his skis to go for a walk in the pine forest on the mountain again, and the rascal followed him.
When he came to the pine forest on the top of the mountain, Xu Shiyan searched for the location where he was trapped.
Two places were empty after walking, but before reaching the third one, Rapier suddenly jumped out.
Xu Shiyan didn't know what happened, so he quickly followed.
As a result, when I came to the third clip, I saw a little guy the size of a house cat, covered in tan.
The little guy has a slender body, short and thin limbs, and fluffy tail hair. The brown hair is mixed with sparse white guard hairs. Under the chin, there is a row of yellow-orange throat spots.
This little guy is none other than the sable, one of the three treasures of Northeast China.
The sable is not dead yet, it is screaming.
The clip that Xu Shiyan put down caught one of the sable's hind legs.
Lai Pigui was about to bite it, so frightened Xu Shiyan hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, don't bite it."
It is rare to meet a live sable, how could Xu Shiyan be willing to kill him?
Hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the sable from the rascal's mouth, broke off the clip, and hugged the little guy in his arms.
The little guy was injured on his hind leg, and was frightened again. After being picked up by Xu Shiyan, his whole body trembled with fright.
When Xu Shiyan saw this, he put the sable on his chest with leggings. The little guy's leg was injured, and besides, there was a rascal staring at him, so he couldn't run away.
After catching a live sable, Xu Shiyan suddenly had an idea, perhaps, he could take this little guy back to raise it.
This is a female mink. If it can be domesticated successfully, and then catch a male again, can it be artificially bred?
The idea is quite good, and it may be difficult to implement it, but you can try it.
Aren’t the raw materials of the mink coats of later generations all farmed? Others can raise it, why can't he?
Xu Shiyan was thinking in his heart, but he didn't stop on his feet. He continued to step on the skis and looked at all the clips he had set before.
Two of them were triggered but they didn’t gain anything. They had to get up and find a place to resettle.
The rest are not triggered, stay there, no one knows when they will come in handy.
Walking around, Xu Shiyan got a live sable, Xu Shiyan was very happy, and led Lai Pigui back to the Kansan Xiaofang.
As soon as he entered the house, Xu Shiyan quickly released the sable from his arms to treat its injuries.
The sable's hind leg was pinched off and needs to be boned.
Xu Shiyan couldn't help it, he was easily connected, and he found a wooden bar to compare with, and wrapped it with a rope.
"You watch it for me, don't let it run away, but don't bite it, do you hear me?"
As soon as Xu Shiyan looked up, he saw Lai Pigui staring straight at the sable.
Xu Shiyan hurriedly patted the rascal on the head, and then went to find food for it, not allowing it to play tricks on the sable.
Sure enough, the rascal had something to eat, so he stopped staring at the sable.
The sable was probably frightened, laying on the ground, not daring to move, just staring around with big round eyes.
Xu Shiyan hurried out, went to the warehouse to find No. 8 wire and thin wire, used pliers and other tools to weave a cage, and then put the sable into the cage.
In this way, the sable can't run away, and the rascal can't bite.
Since he caught a live sable, Xu Shiyan became more attentive. He went for a walk in the pine forest on the mountain every two days, hoping to catch another male.
There are not many sables on the mountain, how can there be so many coincidences? Can you still meet a live sable?
Only one time was caught, but Xu Shiyan was late, and the sable was dying and could not be saved.
Regarding this, Xu Shiyan is not discouraged, no matter whether he is dead or alive, as long as there is something to gain, anyway, he will only be fed, and he will slowly find a way in the future.
In the blink of an eye, there were still a few days left in December of 1978, and the lunar calendar was at the end of the winter month.
The north wind is howling, the sky is freezing, and the ginseng land on the mountain is already frozen hard.
Xu Shiyan was thinking about his family, especially about his parents moving, so he didn't wait until the twelfth lunar month, so he packed up his things and prepared to go down the mountain.
"I have to go down the mountain, what should I do on the mountain?
I don’t dare to take you home, if you go to steal other people’s chickens, wouldn’t it be a disaster? "
Looking at the rascal, Xu Shiyan was in trouble. Should he bring the rascal down the mountain together?
Take it with you, for fear that this guy will go back and cause trouble. There are chickens in the village. If he steals it, he will die if he is caught.
Even if you don’t steal chickens, once someone finds out, you will be doomed.
But if you don’t take it down the mountain, leave it on the mountain without anyone taking care of it.
Lai Pigui seemed to understand Xu Shiyan's words, looked at Xu Shiyan, walked around him twice, then turned and ran away.
Xu Shiyan was relieved to see Lai Pigui running away.
This guy is a ghost, he has his own way of living, so don't worry too much.
