MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 7 Hunting goes on.
The next day, Lisko packed up his hunting gear early, a jacket, trouser legs, handmade cowhide boots bought from the town, a Reston on his back, a revolver around his waist, and a Swiss pair of leggings. sig special dagger.
Picking up the luggage, there are some emergency medicines and serums, as well as some compressed biscuits and a stainless steel water bottle. He has to prepare for the result of hunting for food without returning empty-handed. This kind of thing has happened many times in his past experience. .
When Lisko went out, he encountered Rooster and Colt, who were also fully armed, and everyone laughed when they saw that everyone was bulging the same.
"Rooster, go and drive a pickup."
The three got into the car and quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Huh~" Colt stretched out his arms, "I haven't hunted for a long time."
"Then you can aim at the point later, maybe this time you will be at the bottom." The rooster teased.
"No, and Lisko, I think I'm better than someone who sits at a desk and writes every day."
Lisko smiled, "I often go to gun clubs to practice guns."
The three noisily walked into the woods and soon reached their destination.
There are two wooden houses standing in the woods, which were built a long time ago by Bo and Lisko's father, two hunting enthusiasts. This is also the place where Lisko and the three loved to come when they were young.
"This place was collapsed by a wild boar last year, and the wooden board I was looking for was repaired again." Rooster triumphantly asked for credit.
The three picked up firewood and lit the fire in the house with hot water.
Colt climbed up to the roof to observe, as before, and set up his gun. "Bo's telescope is still so good." He held the telescope with many scratches on it. The green paint on the edge had worn off a lot. This was a souvenir that Bo brought back from the army.
Lisko and Rooster shared a room, set up their guns in the house, and chewed on a pack of compressed biscuits.
Not long after, the signal came, and Colt tapped on the eaves.
The three of them looked forward intently, and a group of wild ducks staggered out of the jungle.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang"
Colt shot first, knocking down the leading duck, while Lisko and the rooster in the back also took out their pistols and shot.
After a while of shooting, a wild duck fell on the ground.
"Whoever hits the most must be me."
Colt jumped down from the roof and shouted with a gun.
"It must be me, you didn't hit anything except the first shot." The rooster pouted in disdain.
Lisko looked at the two arguing with a funny look.
"I packed one and baked it. I'm a little hungry."
Colt pulled out the saber in his trouser leg, picked one up, and went to the water. Lisko and the rooster were picking up the dead ducks, tying them up and throwing them into the bag, waiting to go back to distribute the prey.
I haven't seen it for many years, and Colt's craftsmanship has not left anything behind. The duck was cleaned up, the rooster took it, stabbed the duck a few times with a knife, and smeared it with salt and spices. It was wrapped in large leaves, smeared with mud, and thrown into the stove.
The three of them were waiting for the food in front of the stove, while recalling the past.
Suddenly, the rooster stopped gushing laughter, listened carefully, and immediately grabbed the gun.
The faces of Liske Colt also changed quickly.
"Hum~hum~"
The sound got closer and closer, and they all heard the sound of a wild boar, and the three guns were aimed at the sound.
The wild grass in the woods moved, and after a while, its head appeared, and a wild boar the size of an adult waist stuck its head out with its tusks.
The rooster took a deep breath. Although this was in the mountains, as more and more people hunted in recent years, large game like this was basically rare. The three of them previously hunted mostly wild ducks and pheasants. For some hares, the biggest prey is no more than a four-horned elk.
The three of Lisko held their breaths and looked at the approaching wild boar.
"Head off." Lisko shouted first and pulled the trigger of the shotgun first.
The three kept firing towards the front.
"Bang bang bang,"
Lisko shot out all the bullets in the gun at once, looked at the motionless wild boar, and stopped the two who were loading.
"died."
The three of them watched for a while, and found that the wild boar's head was beaten with bullet holes, and blood was dripping all over its body.
"Hu~" The hands of the three of them trembled a little, and they exhaled heavily. The rooster struggled to take out a few cans of beer from the backpack.
"Hahaha." They looked at each other's embarrassed appearance wet with sweat, and laughed heartily.
"This has set a new record for our prey. We actually shot a wild boar."
Colt was so excited, the three of them calmed down and ran to see the wild boar.
The black hair was like a steel needle, and the body was covered with thick mud. Fortunately, the three of them shot at the head, otherwise the wild boar would not have died so easily if they hit the muddy body. Looking at the size, this wild boar weighs at least 200 kilograms.
Having obtained enough goods, the three of them had no intention of continuing here. At the same time, they were also afraid that the blood on the ground would attract wolves. The rooster **** the limbs of the wild boar with the rope he carried with him.
The three found a thick wooden stick to stir up the wild boar, put out the fire, and walked down the mountain.
"Otherwise, we'll chop off the pig's head, chop off the limbs, and throw away the rest. This wild boar is too big for us to carry down the mountain."
The two of them thought about it and agreed to the proposal. With the pig's head, they already satisfied their show-off heart, and they could also taste the meat with the limbs.
The three people who reached an agreement quickly finished packing, and refused to share the meat with Lisko, and took two fangs for collection.
When he got home, he changed his sweat-soaked clothes. Lisko soaked wild boar teeth in hot water in the kitchen, and brushed the surface with white vinegar. Soon the two fangs were as white as new.
Lisko wiped it clean with a tissue and put it in the showcase in the study.
As soon as he sat down to rest, the phone rang, and when Lisko saw the call, he knew it was his long-winded manager.
"Li, how are you doing today?"
Lisko rolled his eyes, "If it wasn't for your call, everything would be fine."
"Haha, well, I know you're annoyed by that, but I still have to ask, how is the new book? The editors at Random House have been blocking my office door recently, and they've issued a royalty for this book18 %,"
Lisko thought about it for a while. This royalty is considered good in the American literary and art world. Newcomers often only get 5%. Lisko has worked well with them in recent years, and Langdon's boss and his mentor are old friends.
The agent, Lu Bo, was introduced by his brother, a columnist. He has worked together for several years without any mistakes. He is usually a good person and takes good care of Lisko.
"Lu Bo, tomorrow, I just finished, I want to check it again."
"Really, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is great. I will immediately notify the publishing house to prepare. They have already prepared the cover and promotional poster."
Lisko was a little disgusted and kept the phone away from him. Lu Bo was in his forties this year, and he has made a lot of money with Lisko in recent years.
Lisko turned on the computer, flipped through the finished manuscript, checked it again, and emil also received the cover of the novel from Lu Bo.
With a hooded boy standing with his back in a golden wheat field and the sky painted blue, this cover fits Lisko's aesthetic in general.
"Lubo, the cover is great. The manuscript will be mailed to you tomorrow."
Lisko replied to the email and went to the kitchen by herself. Jasmine has been busy with the ranch for the past few days. She asked Lisko if she wanted to come back to cook dinner. Seasoning from Chinatown.
He took a crucian carp from the side, which was caught in the lake in the ranch. The cowboys had taken it and thrown it away, but Lisko asked him to come.
Put the onion, ginger, and garlic in the hot oil, cook for a while, put the processed fish into the oil pan and fry on both sides, add water and boil, so that the boiled fish soup is white.
The fish soup is simmered for an hour. By this time, it is already a milky white fish soup. The noodles are machine-pressed noodles that he bought in Chinatown. Lisko was a northerner in his previous life and loved pasta. His ex-girlfriend taught him how to cook noodles in fish soup. The deliciousness of the fish soup.
The noodles were slowly getting cooked. Lisko put in some small green vegetables and chopped up a few pieces of red peppers. This pot looks very nice, with red peppers, white fish soup, and green vegetables.
Lisko turned off the fire and tasted the long-lost taste. Tears could not stop flowing.
