Chapter 203 Exploration
Chapter 203 Exploration
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Kailang got up early and simply washed up.
"Let's get the shelter ready in the morning, and then we can go explore the hill in the afternoon to see what's there?"
The shelter was largely completed yesterday, so there isn't much to do today.
After improving the inside and outside of the shelter and setting up a security system around it, the work will be complete.
"Let's get started!" After making a plan, Li Kailang started.
Several hours later, Li Kailang finally completed the reinforcement of the shelter.
Compared to yesterday, the current shelter is much better in terms of safety and comfort.
Especially for safety, Li Kailang cut down the extra trees around the shelter.
This will avoid the situation that happened to the leopard cat yesterday, where the beast was right in front of it but it was completely unaware.
But in this way, the shelter becomes somewhat conspicuous.
"It's finally done. I can finally take a break!" Li Kailang pounded his shoulders to loosen up his muscles.
After chopping down a lot of trees, my hands were burning with pain.
"Whoosh~" A breeze blew by, blowing up Li Kailang's clothes.
"Ah~so cool!" The breeze blew away the sweat on Li Kailang's body and opened the pores all over his body.
Li Kailang enjoyed the rare coolness and found a clean place to lie down.
A breeze blew by, lifting the corners of my clothes and blowing away my sweat.
Breathing in the fragrant air filled with earth and forest and basking in the warm sunshine, Li Kailang couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
“This is the meaning of coming out to play!”
Before he knew it, Li Kailang slowly fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, cars were driving here.
A man with a weathered face got out of the car. The empty fields came into view, and he felt refreshed immediately.
"I haven't been here for a while, but this place is still so lively!"
A girl came up to him and said, "Really? Dad, I told you to come here more often!"
The woman next to him also agreed: "Yes, look at how tall the grass has grown."
The middle-aged man nodded and sighed, "Let's come and have a look when we have time in the future."
The girl pouted, "Later, if it wasn't for the National Day holiday and the noise in the city, you wouldn't have come down."
Seeing the girl's aggrieved look, the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Hey, my dear daughter, I will accompany you down here when I have time!"
The girl burst into laughter and said happily, "Really? Dad, you can't lie to me!"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't understand anything: "You! How dare you lie to your father!"
As he said this, he tapped the girl's head with his finger.
"Lululu!" The girl stuck out her tongue, looking a little embarrassed.
"Okay, go take a walk first. You only have time to come and have a look today. You won't be able to come when the weather gets cold!" said the woman.
Three people walked in front, especially the middle-aged man, who was enjoying the scenery that he had not seen for a long time.
A few people followed behind, carrying large and small bags.
If Li Kailang wakes up, he will know who these people are.
These people were Lou Zhenhua's family, as well as his servants and driver.
The reason why Lou Zhenhua came here today was, on the one hand, because Lou Xiaoe wanted to come here to relax and couldn't stand her nagging.
On the other hand, the city was quite noisy, with people taking to the streets to celebrate and making noises unconsciously.
Taking advantage of the National Day and having nothing to do, Lou Zhenhua came here to relax.
"Dad, come on, I'll take you for a walk." Lou Xiao'e said.
Lou Zhenhua happily responded: "Great! I was just wondering if there are any changes here?"
Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e took Lou Zhenhua around.
"Dad, look at this tree. It used to be only as high as my waist, but now it's almost as tall as me!"
Lou Xiao'e compared her height with a small tree and jumped a little.
Looking at such a lovely scene, Lou Zhenhua couldn't help but smile.
"Dad, look here, I played here last time."
Lou Xiao'e's laughter echoed in the room, waking up Li Kailang who was sleeping soundly.
"Yeah~~"
Li Kailang woke up slowly, stretched, and heard Lou Xiaoe's laughter.
When I stood up and looked, I found that Lou Zhenhua and his family were strolling around, followed by servants and drivers.
They wandered around but didn't find Li Kailang and his shelter.
This is the advantage of Li Kailang choosing a remote place to build a shelter, so he won’t be disturbed by others.
On the contrary, Li Kailang can always pay attention to their movements.
After strolling around for a while, Lou Xiao'e felt a little tired, so she found a place to rest.
Just as they were resting, another convoy came from a distance.
Several girls got out of the car. When they saw Lou Zhenhua's parked car, they hurried to look for it.
"Xiao E! Xiao E!" a girl shouted.
Lou Xiao'e, who was taking a rest, heard the sound and looked over, and saw that it was her friends.
The two sides hugged each other eagerly.
"Why are you here?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
"We're here to see you! How are you? Are you happy?" asked a young girl.
"Happy! Happy!" Lou Xiao'e held their hands and jumped gently.
Seeing this, the girls also jumped up and spun around.
In the distance, Li Kailang was also confused as he watched them suddenly jump and spin.
Li Kailang was puzzled: "Women are really strange!"
In the distance, the girls' servants and drivers also got out of the car carrying large and small bags and came not far from them.
When they come, no parents come.
"Uncle, aunt." The girls greeted Mr. and Mrs. Lou.
"Hello!" Lou Zhenhua nodded in response, "By the way, where are your parents? Why didn't they come with you?"
"My dad still has some things to do, he will come over later." A girl replied.
"Is that so! Then you guys go and have fun. You don't have to stay here." Lou Zhenhua said with a smile and gestured for them to go and play.
Seeing this, the girls held hands, smiled and ran off to play.
At this time, the driver took out the kites for them to play with, while the servants placed the floor mats, parasols and other items.
The whole process was orderly, and it was obvious that this kind of thing had been done many times.
While playing around, time unknowingly came to noon.
"Xiao E, stop for a moment and come and eat something!" Lou's mother shouted to the girls who were playing and fighting in the distance.
Lou Xiao'e asked her friends, "My mom said it's time to eat, how about we eat first?"
A girl touched her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry. Let's go eat something first!"
The other girls did not refuse, so they put down their kites and went to eat.
Lou's mother took out the lunch box that she had prepared long ago. It was the same as the one they prepared last time, similar to a sandwich.
"Oh, it's this again! I thought you had prepared something?" Lou Xiao'e was a little disappointed.
She looked at the sandwiches and thought of the delicious meal she had at Li Kailang's last time.
Lou Zhenhua was puzzled: "Why don't you like it? I remember you really like eating these, so I specially asked someone to prepare them for you."
Hearing that it was specially prepared, Lou Xiaoe quickly praised: "No, no, Dad, you prepared it, how could I not like it."
"Hehe~" Looking at the sisters' panicked explanation, a girl said to Lou Zhenhua:
"Uncle, you don't know, Xiao'e is just remembering the feast she had here last time."
"Oh?" Lou Zhenhua was a little curious.
Lou Zhenhua looked puzzled, and it was obvious that Xu's mother had not explained the matter clearly to Lou Zhenhua.
From a distance, Li Kailang saw them having lunch, so he also made something to fill his stomach.
After resting for a while, Li Kailang set off for the back mountain.
"It's almost time to set off. We can't let them delay today's important business!"
It's a rare opportunity to go out and play, so Li Kailang doesn't really want to deal with anyone. Instead of spending some free time, he might as well get some more sleep.
Near the back mountain, Li Kailang took out a new pistol.
It was the silenced gun - the Nagant M1895 revolver.
During this period, in addition to dealing with things in the planting space, Li Kailang also successfully obtained this gun.
"This gun comes at the right time!" Li Kailang stroked the gun.
There are still people outside, so the loud gunshots might affect them and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
The most important thing is to avoid startling the wild animals in the mountains, and it also makes it easier for you to explore and hunt.
"Papa~"
Li Kailang held a gun in his right hand and a stick in his left hand, slapping the weeds left and right to scare away the snakes.
"Cuckoo-"
On the back mountain, all kinds of sounds emerged one after another, but in this environment, it was very pleasant to listen to.
"Puff-"
Suddenly, a few wild pheasants flapped their wings and flew in front of Li Kailang.
After combing its hair a little, it lowered its head and looked for food while shaking its head.
He had no idea that danger was about to come.
"Hey, what a pleasant surprise!"
"Since you've come to my door, I'd be in vain for your kindness if I didn't kill you!"
Li Kailang turned on the safety, aimed at the pheasants and pulled the trigger.
"Bang, bang——" Several silenced gunshots were heard.
"Puff-"
Suddenly, five pheasants flapped their wings and fell to the ground without a sound.
"It's done, call it quits!"
Li Kailang pretended to be serious, posed, and blew away the non-existent smoke.
Li Kailang also did not notice the few little leopard cats playing not far away.
They saw that Li Kailang just held the gun and made a few noises, and the wild pheasants died.
They had big doubts in their little heads, but they didn't care. They looked at the lost pheasants and began to salivate.
Without waiting for Li Kailang to take it away, the three little leopard cats attacked first.
Under Li Kailang's gaze, each of them took away a pheasant and ran away.
"Hey! You little bastards, you actually stole my things!"
Before Li Kailang finished scolding, the mother leopard cat rushed out and took away another one.
The leopard cat mother seemed to be certain that Li Kailang would not hit them, so she blatantly snatched Li Kailang's prey.
They did make the right bet. Before Li Kailang traveled through time, he had raised cats and was a cat lover. He was very tolerant of cats.
"You guys are so awesome! You come to snatch food from me again!" Li Kailang was a little helpless. This was the third time.
After taking away the remaining pheasant, Li Kailang tried to look for these leopard cats, but they all hid from him.
Li Kailang searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Seeing this, Li Kailang stopped looking and continued exploring.
While exploring, Li Kailang shot and killed two more pheasants.
"Cuckoo-"
There was a strange sound, and Li Kailang saw a few turtledoves chirping not far away.
Not far from them, there were two squirrels standing upright, nibbling on millet.
A little further away, a squirrel was busy with its mouth full. It spit out the contents of its mouth bit by bit and stuffed the grains into the tree.
Suddenly, Li Kailang felt like playing a prank and walked straight towards it.
"Squeak--" Seeing Li Kailang coming over, the squirrel first cried a few times as if in protest.
Seeing Li Kailang approaching, the squirrel ran away in fear.
Li Kailang smiled at the squirrel, took out a big axe, and chopped a small gap directly in the middle of the tree.
"咚咚-"
Suddenly, grains of grain fell out from the gap, and Li Kailang took out a bag to collect them.
As the squirrel looked on in shock, the grains rained down into the bag, and soon they were all gone!
"Squeak--" the squirrel screamed angrily, its body jumping as if it was accusing Li Kailang.
"Bye!" Li Kailang took the bag, waved goodbye and left.
"Squeak--" The squirrel immediately ran back to the tree to look.
It had half as much grain left.
If it could speak, it would definitely point at Li Kailang and curse at him!
The grains that Li Kailang stole will not have much impact on the squirrels.
These squirrels prepare a lot of grains and store them before wintering.
Although squirrels are smart and clever, they are very bad at finding their way.
Because of their poor memory, they almost never find their hidden rations, and most of the time, they forget where their food is.
Less than half of the food squirrels bury each year is eventually eaten by them.
After snatching the squirrel's food, Li Kailang felt much better.
If you lose at the hands of the leopard cat, you can make up for it at the hands of the squirrel.
[Squirrel: You are so noble! You are so great! Angry~~~]
During his continuous exploration, Li Kailang encountered many wild animals.
Suddenly, Li Kailang noticed some dark red color reflected not far away and took a closer look.
“It’s actually sour jujube!”
Li Kailang hurried over and saw the branches of the sour jujube tree were full of dark red fruits.
There are also some hawthorns on the ground, and it is obvious that these hawthorns have been ripe for some time.
"Buzz-"
Suddenly, several rapid and strange noises made Li Kailang alert.
"bee!"
Several wild bees flew towards Li Kailang. Li Kailang did not try to kill them, but immediately ran away from the jujube tree.
These wild bees are highly toxic, and if stung, people will experience intense pain and itching, and may also develop edema.
If you are stung by twenty or thirty wild bees at the same time, it may be life-threatening.
When you are in the wild, safety is the most important thing.
Even though Li Kailang's body had been modified, even if he could withstand these twenty or thirty wild bees, he could not withstand the stings of hundreds or thousands of wild bees.
"Buzz-"
Seeing Li Kailang running away, the wild bees did not chase him anymore. They turned around and flew back.
Li Kailang looked at the direction in which the wild bees were flying and saw a beehive the size of a football in the hole of a jujube tree.
"I didn't expect to encounter wild bees. It's a rare opportunity, so I'll take some honey back. It should taste good!" Li Kailang murmured to himself.
Honey made by wild bees is of the highest quality and has the best nutritional and medicinal value.
Only after getting rid of the wild bees can you get the sour dates.
"I wonder what the pupae of wild bees taste like? I can give it a try!" Li Kailang was drooling.
Without further ado, Li Kailang took out clothes, blankets and other items from the ring and got fully armed.
The whole body is airtight, leaving no gap for wild bees to sting. The only exposed parts are the eyes.
He found some undried branches and leaves, made them into torches, lit them, and the smoke billowed out.
Li Kailang held a smoking torch and used the most primitive fumigation method to blow away the wild bees.
After a while, the wild bee wanted to sting Li Kailang, but was swept away by the torch. It wanted to attack, but its poisonous sting only pierced the blanket outside.
In the end, they can only fly away with a buzz, leaving behind the beehive to protect it.
Li Kailang quickly chopped the beehive three times with a hatchet, putting it into the prepared glass jar each time he chopped it.
While the torches were still burning and the wild bees had not returned, Li Kailang collected as many sour dates as he could.
"Buzz-"
After a while, the effect of the torches gradually weakened, and the wild bees flew back. Seeing that the hive was destroyed, they looked for the culprit.
Li Kailang waved the torch a few times to drive away the wild bees, and then he immediately carried out a strategic shift.
After no longer hearing the sound of the wild bees, Li Kailang threw away the torch, took off his mask, and gasped for breath.
"What a great harvest! What a great harvest!"
Li Kailang looked at the beehive containing three glass jars in the ring, and then at the two jars full of sour dates.
After resting for a while, Li Kailang watched the sky gradually darken and it was getting late.
"Set off, go back!"
Carrying a bumper harvest of beehives and sour dates, Li Kailang started his return journey.
An hour later, the last ray of sunlight in the sky was about to disappear.
Li Kailang finally returned to the vicinity of the shelter.
Li Kailang hurried over and first checked the alarm system to confirm that it had not been damaged, then he felt relieved.
In the distance, Lou Zhenhua and his group were packing up and preparing to leave.
After all, it is very dangerous in the wild, and as a big capitalist, Lou Zhenhua attaches great importance to his own life.
Most importantly, they didn't prepare any camping supplies, so they had to go back when it got dark.
Li Kailang was naturally delighted by this: "This is good, so that we won't be discovered in the middle of the night and get embarrassed!"
"Gululu——"
"Cook! Cook!"
