Chapter 244 Roe Deer, Chicken, and Sika Deer
Lin Panpan exhaled a breath of white mist, and the mist instantly dissipated in the cold air.
She tightened her thick cotton jacket, turned to look at her companions behind her, and shouted, "Everyone, follow me. Let's keep going deeper!"
Big Fatty frowned and said, "Auntie, it's even colder in the mountains, and it's not safe."
Lin Panpan looked at him and said, "Where is it unsafe? Follow me and I guarantee it will be safe."
Big Fatty then followed directly. After walking a few steps, Big Fatty whispered, "Roe deer..."
Sure enough, they saw three roe deer. Looking in the direction of his finger, they saw the three roe deer standing in an open space, with their heads raised high, their ears moving from time to time, and they were staring at them blankly.
They are brown all over and appear particularly docile under the mottled shadows of the trees.
Dapang quietly took off the slingshot from his waist. He bent down, held the slingshot handle with his left hand, and slowly pulled it back with his right hand. The rubber band was pulled tight, making a slight "sizzling" sound.
He narrowed his left eye and stared at one of the roe deer with his right eye. With a "whoosh", the stone drew an arc in the air that was difficult to see with the naked eye and hit the target accurately.
The roe deer's front legs softened after being hit, and it fell to the ground with a thump. It struggled and twisted in pain, wailing.
Several other people also took out their slingshots and put the roe deer into their backpacks.
Lin Panpan was in high spirits, her face filled with uncontrollable excitement. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go and have a look in the mountains. There must be a lot of good things waiting for us!"
After taking a few steps, a series of "clucking" sounds came from the front.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few hazel grouse in the snow. They were walking with difficulty in the thick snow with their short legs, and occasionally pecking at the tips of the grass exposed under the snow with their sharp beaks.
Their colorful feathers look particularly eye-catching against the white snow.
The excitement of catching the roe deer had not yet passed, and everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they took out their slingshots again without hesitation.
Xiaopang skillfully took out a bullet from his pocket, inserted it into the rubber band, pulled the bow, squinted his eyes, and aimed at one of the fattest hazel grouse.
With a whoosh, the bullet whizzed out and hit the target accurately. The hazel grouse flapped its wings a few times and fell headfirst into the snow.
Seeing this, more than a dozen people immediately scattered and surrounded the remaining grouse. These grouse may have just eaten their fill, and were frightened by the sudden attack. They flapped their wings, but could not fly high.
Some people were running and chasing each other in the snow, splashing large snowflakes.
Some people took advantage of the terrain to encircle the grouse from the flank and cut off their path.
In a short while, these hazel grouse that were originally foraging freely in the snow became everyone's prey.
The fat boy laughed and said, "Tsk tsk tsk... They are all quite fat. We can have a big meal today."
Lin Panpan smiled and said, "I want to use these chickens for breeding. Now that we have wild boars, I plan to breed some wild animals from the mountains."
"Huh? Wild?"
Lin Panpan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded heavily and said:
"Yes, I came here today with the determination to find some wild animals to bring back.
From now on, wild ones will definitely be much more valuable than domestic ones!
Take the hazel grouse, for example. It's the famous flying dragon. If it could be artificially bred, wouldn't it fetch a high price in the future? "
Xiaopang scratched his messy hair and muttered:
“What’s so good about cultivating this?
There are so many of these things in our mountains. We used to be able to grab a handful at random. There’s no need to bother with this!"
Lin Panpan turned around, looked straight at Xiaopang and said:
"What do you know? Times are changing. Maybe these things won't be allowed to be arrested in the future.
We should make plans now so that we can have a way out in the future, understand?"
Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said:
"Okay, whatever I say is what it is. You definitely have a longer-term vision than me.
Then let's move on and see what other treasures are hidden in this mountain."
Lin Panpan and his group traveled through the mountains and forests. They could find precious medicinal herbs by just digging around. They were growing wildly under the protection of fallen leaves.
Ginseng, Codonopsis, Schisandra... Various rare medicinal herbs can be seen everywhere, and the group picked them carefully.
There were also frequent sightings of wild animals along the way.
Not far away, we saw several wild deer drinking water.
Their ears move from time to time, alertly capturing the movements around them.
Lin Panpan stopped instantly, quickly pressed her index finger on her lips, and made a very light "hush" sound, signaling Xiaopang and the others to keep quiet.
These deer are timid by nature and will run away at the slightest sign of trouble.
Lin Panpan gave a wink to her companions, and they immediately understood and surrounded the deer herd in a fan shape.
As the encirclement gradually narrowed, the deer finally realized the danger and fled in an instant.
The leading stag let out a long cry and started to flee with all four hooves spread out.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Panpan quickly pulled out a slingshot from her waist in one smooth move.
"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Several bullets shot directly at the herd of deer.
The six deer swayed, staggered, and finally collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
Lin Panpan stepped forward quickly and said:
"Deer antlers in Northeast China are a great treasure. Take all of these back with you.
If we can successfully cultivate deer, we will have an endless supply of antlers in the future."
Lin Panpan looked at the unconscious sika deer on the ground, her mind full of thoughts.
Among the three treasures of Northeast China, ginseng is now being artificially cultivated.
Although mink fur is precious, she felt a surge of pity when she thought of the cruel scene of obtaining it.
Skinning a mink alive was too cruel to the animal, and she simply couldn't do it, so she decisively gave up the idea of getting rich from mink fur.
But deer antler is different, it is an absolute treasure.
It is not only a precious Chinese medicinal material with a very high reputation in the field of nourishing and health preservation, but also a well-known specialty product in Northeast China with broad market prospects.
Lin Panpan knew very well that if she could successfully breed sika deer, the supply of antlers would be guaranteed in the future, and the wealth would continue to flow in.
She squatted down, gently stroked the sika deer's smooth fur, and said, "Let's go back! Carry these deer back carefully. We need to figure out how to raise them."
Lin Panpan and his group hurried back to the farm carrying the prey.
Lin Weiguo was humming a little tune and sweeping the house with a broom. Hearing a noisy noise coming from the door, he curiously stuck his head out to look.
Lin Panpan was smiling, followed by a few people carrying several cages and stretchers filled with lively hazel grouse, unconscious roe deer, and several sika deer.
"Brother, come and take a look, we just brought it back from the mountain!" Lin Panpan shouted excitedly, with a gleam in his eyes.
