Chapter 129 Badger Hunting

Han Li was a little amused when he heard him say that, but what Zhang Xiangjun said was not wrong.

"Okay, then you wait patiently, I'll go to other places first. I bought some cooked mutton offal in the county today, and I'll come to your house to find you in the evening."

"Then I'll stew the wild geese in the evening, and add the mutton offal to go with the wine, which will be enough."

Han Li strolled in the field for a while, and when he went back, the snakeskin bag was already on his shoulders.

At this time, the Yun sisters had just come out of He Mi's house. Seeing Han Li carrying a shovel, a bag, and a dog behind him, they really went to dig a vole hole again, and hurried over to take the shovel in his hand. As for Yun Yingying's desire to carry the bag together, Han Li refused. It was not as easy as carrying it by himself.

After returning home and washing his face, he took the towel that Yun Yingying had just washed today and wiped his face and said.

"I'm going to Zhang Xiangjun's place for dinner tonight. You can help me cut a plate of mutton offal and take it with you."

"Why are you going to his place for dinner again today?"

Han Li told Yun Yingying about Zhang Xiangjun's waiting for the geese today, which once again aroused Yun Yingying's desire to go out hunting.

"When do we go into the mountains to hunt?"

"If the village doesn't ring the bell tomorrow, we'll go, but you have to prepare everything."

"Yes."

After Yun Yingying got the accurate information, she jumped outside to cut the mutton offal.

After the mutton offal was cut, Yun Jingjing put it in the pot to heat it up. Han Li went to Zhang Xiangjun's house with the dishes in one hand and the wine in the other.

I don't know if Zhang Xiangjun's cooking skills are good or the geese themselves taste good, anyway, Han Li ate very comfortably.

The two drank together for the second time, and they talked more to each other.

From their family situation to their feelings after going to the countryside, they talked a lot.

In the end, it was 11 o'clock in the middle of the night when Han Li returned home. At this time, there was still a faint light in the house.

This is why Yun Yingying deliberately adjusted the lantern to the lowest burning temperature before she left, just in case Han Li came back drunk and wanted to light the lamp.

There was tea on the table, and the quilt on the kang was also made. The only flaw was that no one was there.

The next day, the village still didn't ring the bell, which meant that the grain collection had not started yet.

Yun Yingying came early to cook, and everyone took everything and set off after dinner.

It was hard to find anything outside the mountains, but it was safe, so Han Li brought a few wolf stalks this time.

Yun Yingying had gone into the mountains with others to pick mushrooms before, and they were already familiar with the roads outside.

Although she had walked here many times before, her footsteps this time were very light, and even her voice was full of excitement.

Han Li's sparrows helped him find hares or badger nests nearby. If Yun Yingying's interest in hunting could be satisfied outside, there would be no need to go deep into the mountains, after all, he was not alone.

The three of them walked along, talking and laughing. Before the sparrow noticed the situation, the wolf had already found something.

They kept circling around a protruding rock. Han Li raised his index finger to the Yun sisters and made a gesture to keep quiet.

There was a large patch of grass next to the rock. After pushing aside the grass under the rock, Han Li found a hole less than two feet wide.

Looking closely, the paw prints nearby were very fresh. These paw prints looked like the footprints of a two or three-month-old puppy.

This means that it is not a large animal, nor a small animal like a hare.

Then it is very likely to be a badger's nest. At this time, the Yun sisters had already come over.

Han Li took them back a few steps and said, "This is most likely a badger's cave. You take the three dogs and stay at this cave. I will find other caves to block them. We will catch badgers here later."

"Then be careful."

"Well, if there is a cave, it is nearby. If you have any problems, call me loudly."

Han Li took the other two dogs to find other caves. These two dogs have always performed the best.

It was much better to have a dog leading the way. Han Li found another cave entrance not long after he walked out.

He blocked the cave entrance with gravel, and then made two long spears with straight tree trunks, and then returned to Yun Yingying and the others.

"Be prepared, each of you take one for self-defense."

Yun Yingying asked excitedly: "Then what should we do next?"

"Didn't I ask you to bring some dried chilies? Give them to me after I light the fire."

"You plan to smoke out the badgers with fire."

"Yes, if you let the dog crawl in, it may be bitten by the badgers. It is safest to drive them out."

The three of them first used gravel to continuously make the cave entrance smaller, and also helped to code a super simple continuous turning array outside, so that the badgers would not easily speed up.

Then they pulled out some semi-dry and semi-wet weeds nearby, and then pulled out some dry and easy-to-ignite grasses and lit them at the cave entrance.

He took Yun Yingying's straw hat and fanned the fireworks into the cave. Even the smoke from the chili peppers was a bit unbearable for Han Li outside.

Han Li asked the Yun sisters to follow the dogs and stay far away, saying that it was to prevent the spicy smoke from fuming them.

Yun Yingying: "I just want to take a closer look, and I'm not afraid of the smoke."

Han Li had to tell the truth at this time: "I heard from the villagers that the badger is small but fierce. If it is in its prime and angry, two or three wolves can't beat it."

After Han Li said this, Yun Jingjing pulled her sister away, and several dogs stood guard beside them.

Almost all the smoke was trapped in the cave. After a while, Han Li saw a long nose with a hint of pink in black appear in his sight. He immediately put down his straw hat and picked up the two sharpened spears beside him.

At this time, the badger was already confused by the smoke. Its sensitive nose was greedily absorbing the fresh air at this moment, and it did not notice the human beings close at hand.

At this time, Han Li suddenly poked hard into the cave, and one was poked in and the other followed.

The badger had realized that something was wrong, and its roars kept coming.

Han Li held the two spears in both hands, and tried hard to make their intersection smaller. He must not let it retract its head, but the badger was really strong.

Han Li's two spears were twisting constantly. The badger retreated several times but did not retreat. It suddenly started to rush forward.

As Han Li had guessed, a guy that looked like a little wild boar was rushing out.

Seeing that the badger's body was completely exposed, it wanted to rush forward, but the stone in front of it hindered its speed.

Han Li quickly released a wooden spear, took out a short javelin from his waist and threw it at the badger fiercely.
