Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 557: Fengdumu Sable Nest
“Brother, is this male mink made of gold and silver? There are so many golden and silver hairs on its back!!”
When Xiao Tao saw the appearance of the big mink’s back skin, he immediately exclaimed.
Indeed, this male mink is at least three or four years old, and its fur is of very high quality.
There is no need to talk about the bottom fleece, it is so thick and dense that it forms a nest when blown, and the bottom plate does not leak at all.
The outer layer of the undercoat has long guard hairs, and the color is particularly bright.
The long guard hairs are light golden in color, accounting for nearly 30% of the total, and the rest are very pure silver in color.
The mixture of golden long needle hair and silver hair gives off a dreamy luster and texture when viewed against the light. Even without subsequent professional deep processing, the quality of this leather is already top-notch.
To be frank, the quality of the top-grade large leather with gold and silver inlay that Yue Feng sold to Manager Wang of the supply and marketing cooperative for 3,000 yuan last autumn was slightly inferior to the current leather.
Yue Feng grabbed the back of the male mink’s neck with one hand and touched the fur on its back with the other hand. He smiled and exclaimed, “Fuck! It has to be this thing! Look at its appearance, the color is so beautiful!!
Last year, that top-quality leather sold for three thousand. This year, it was sold directly to Mr. Ye, bypassing Manager Wang. It must be at least this amount!”
While speaking, Yue Feng stretched out his left hand and spread out his five fingers in front of his teammates.
“Five thousand? Isn’t that a bit too much? Big leather is expensive, but it can’t be that expensive. If the color and appearance are better, can it sell for that much more money?”
Xiaowen scratched his head when he saw what Yuefeng was doing.
Xiaowen is quite sensitive to conventional pricing and market conditions.
But five thousand yuan for a piece of top-quality sable fur was a bit beyond his comprehension.
“With this price, I think Jun will even praise us for being righteous!!
Bring me a bag of sables, let him live a little longer, and then I will kill and skin him when we return to the camp tonight! ! “
Soon, the bag was taken out, and Yue Feng stuffed the big male mink into the bag, tied the pocket, put it in his hunting bag, and continued the search.
The terrain of this jumping stone pond, water bubbles and warm springs almost combines several terrain elements that animals like sables like to move around in.
Moreover, the bottom of this ditch is not visible at a glance. It winds for at least several kilometers. There may be more than one big mink active there.
The three leading dogs were sent out, and the people and other helping dogs followed behind, walking down along the edge of the bubble, carefully searching for possible situations.
Yue Feng really guessed it right. The men and horses searched less than a kilometer forward and found a rotten, wind-fallen tree on the sunny slope of the north bank of the stream. Canglong was the first to smell the scent of the sable.
Wang Wang Wang!
Canglong placed his front paws on the snowy crust of the trunk of a fallen tree and kept barking at the crack at the bottom.
While the dog was barking, it would occasionally look down, as if it was afraid that its prey would run away from somewhere below.
When everyone saw the dog’s behavior, they immediately surrounded the section of the tree trunk.
“There must be a sable’s nest under this wind-fallen tree! Look how anxious the dog is!!”
Yue Feng muttered something, holding a cane in his hand, and gently tapped the place where the dog was exerting force.
Bang!
The sound was very muffled, as if the inside was about to be eaten away.
“Canglong, where is the smell? Find the entrance to the cave!”
Yue Feng called out again, and the dog came down from the trunk of the fallen tree, and started digging at the snow crust under the tree with its head raised and its butt scratched.
Soon, a half-opened earthen hole appeared under the snow shell in front of everyone.
The entrance to this hole was dug with great care, almost at the bottom of the angle between the base of the fallen tree and the ground.
The snow foam was piled high in the angle. If it weren’t for Canglong’s excellent sense of smell and his ability to smell the scent and dig it out with his claws, most ordinary people would probably focus their attention on the fallen tree.
Seeing the hole, Xiao Tao was eager to try again: “Okay, it’s my turn, the blasting team requests work!!”
“Take it easy, don’t let the wind blow the tree down. Judging from the noise it makes, the inside of this thing might be rotten!”
“Don’t worry, it will definitely be fine!”
Xiao Tao muttered to himself, and quickly handled the two firecrackers, lit the fuse and stuffed them directly into the hole.
歘!
boom!
After a muffled sound, the trunks of the fallen trees and the surrounding snow shells were shaken.
Yue Feng looked around for other possible hole openings. Just like the previous hole, smoke would come out of the other holes after the explosion.
But after looking around, I didn’t see any smoke anywhere except the smoke coming out of the cave entrance.
If there is only one hole as an entrance and exit, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar. If someone reacts quickly, they might be able to catch it the moment it comes out.
Yue Feng held his breath and stared at the cave entrance, ready to take action at any time, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see the sable come out of the cave as expected.
“Fuck, what’s going on? Is it a hollow? The sable is not in the nest. Did it go out to the market?”
Xiao Tao scratched his head and took out another firecracker from his pocket. Yue Feng had no way of judging whether the sable’s nest was empty or not. Going to the market was a joke, but it was possible that it was not in the nest.
The existence of this fallen tree makes the surrounding environment of the Sable Cave a little complicated. The entrance under the tree trunk is connected to there, but no one knows what the specific situation is.
Then I lit the firecracker and exploded it a second time, but still no reaction.
Now Xiao Tao was a little angry. This was not giving face to him, the captain of the blasting team.
“It’s just a rotten tree that has fallen down from the wind. How can it block our view? Look, I’m going to chop it down!”
As he spoke, Xiao Tao took out the small hatchet he carried with him from his waist and swung it at the fallen tree trunk.
With one blow of the axe, a small gap was created in the bark outside the trunk, and from the muffled sound, it seemed that the inside was indeed about to rot away.
Xiao Tao was a very strong guy. He swung the axe and kept chopping along the small gap. Soon, a hole was made where the axe had fallen.
Inside the bark, there is only a three-finger-thick layer of the trunk that has not rotted away. No wonder it makes such a muffled noise when it is chopped.
After Xiao Tao found out the details of the tree that had fallen, he chopped and kicked it, and in a short while he had made a big hole in the trunk above the sable cave.
Small pieces of wood from tree trunks were picked up and put aside, and under the large amount of debris, the shape of the bottom of the cave could be vaguely seen.
No wonder there was no response after throwing firecrackers twice and no smoke was seen anywhere else. The hole under the fallen tree was just a suspicious hole. It was less than half a meter deep and then turned sideways. A new hole was dug from the side.
There are two holes, less than one meter apart in a straight line. The second hole is made on the trunk of a fallen tree. It connects to an unknown place through the hole inside the trunk.
After seeing the terrain structure clearly, Yue Feng no longer focused on this hole. The hole on the tree trunk was most likely the real one.
There was no movement for a while. I wonder if the sable ran away into the tree hole.
“Xiao Tao, get two more firecrackers and throw them into this hole and see what happens!”
“Alright!! You’re so smart, you’re playing the trick of hiding your burrows with us guys!!”
Xiao Tao took apart two more firecrackers, knocked open the soil bottom of one, buried the fuse under the bottom of the previous one, lit it and threw it into the hole.
Bang! Bang!
After an explosion, yellow-white smoke rose instantly.
This time it worked. Smoke from exploding firecrackers rose from the snow shells in at least three or four locations along the fallen trees.
After the explosion, only a squeaking sound was heard coming from inside the cave.
Before everyone could react, a sub-adult sable suddenly emerged from the side of the tree trunk about five or six meters away from the cave entrance, and ran into the woods on the sunny slope without even raising its head.
“The sable is out, chase it!!! It’s running towards the woods in the north!!”
Yue Feng called out and his eyes fell on the sable for about two seconds. He quickly retracted his gaze and checked the hidden exit from which the sable had just jumped out.
There are no big trees in the forest on the shady slope, but there are quite a few shrubs and vines.
At this moment, many shrubs are covered with snow shells, like snow bags of different sizes.
The sables can run very fast on it with almost no impact, but people dare not step on it at all. If they step on empty air, they will fall.
At this time, the black wolf ran out to chase the sable without being called by its owner. Its four paws were running on the snow crust, as if it was flying on the grass. It almost bit the fleeing sable several times in a row, but the sable turned around and dodged it, then kept a considerable distance from it.
Most of the team’s attention was drawn away by this sable. At this time, two more sables, one big and one small, jumped out of the tree trunk almost at the same time.
“Shit, two more have appeared!! Canglong, catch them alive!!”
Yue Feng reminded again and instantly blew a whistle towards the big black eagle in the sky!
A sable cave built on a fallen tree suddenly threw the hunting team into a panic.
The big black eagle swooped down immediately after hearing the whistle, swooping down towards the last female mink.
Swish!
The wings swept over the mother mink, and she was knocked to the ground in one round. Another smaller sable cub was crushed. It was a little dazed when it saw its mother being knocked down by the big black eagle. At this time, a white shadow also swooped down.
Swish! !
Little White Spear also imitated the Black Eagle’s way of capturing the sable alive, and used its wings to fan the sable to the ground. Several dogs followed immediately. Black Leopard and Blue Dragon were slightly better and pinned the two sables to the ground first.
“Big Black Eagle, there’s another one ahead! Xiao Tao, run fast, go and give support, don’t let the dog get angry and tear the mink to pieces!!”
Yue Feng shouted again and walked quickly towards the nearest female mink.
This time it was the black tiger that was holding the female mink. After seeing its owner coming, the black tiger came close to Yue Feng with the mink in its mouth.
Fortunately, there were no holes bitten on the female mink. The black tiger seemed to know that the owner would be angry if the skin was damaged, so he was extremely careful when holding the mink in his mouth.
Yue Feng put on his gloves and took the sable from the black tiger’s mouth. He glanced at it casually and his heart skipped a beat. (End of this chapter)
