Lao Peng continued to take care of himself: "In the afternoon, it is the annual hunting meeting in our village, and when the time comes, you will enter the Panshan hunting ground with my son......

"Panshan is very large, and Python Mountain is bigger, Python Mountain is divided into small Python Mountain, Python Mountain, Big Python Mountain and old Python Mountain, our Panshan is only a branch of the small Python Mountain, this year's hunting ground range is at the junction of Panshan Mountain and Little Python Mountain, we call it the hunting area for the time being, divided into nine mountains, ten valleys and three forests, it is a famous hunting ground in our area, there are beasts to watch out for in addition to the famous blue tiger, iron rhinoceros, thorn horn, howling wolf, red-winged eagle, snow eagle, golden-crowned python, Wind leopard and so on, there is nothing else to worry about, wait a minute, I will let my three children get an extra set of common equipment, you use it first, and return it after the hunt is over......"

"Master Peng, what is the hunting meeting?"

"Well, the hunting will be the main festival of our Debian Village, every year on the tenth day of February, we will hold a hunting activity in Debian Village, this activity, with the old and the young, go deep into the valley, and carry out the hunting competition, which is the traditional festival of Debian Village, and the best ones are called hunters, there are certain rewards, and there are more future recommendations......"

Speaking of which, I can only hear the sound of "bang, bang" outside, and if I listen carefully, it turns out to be the sound of a gong.

"Alright, the hunt is about to begin, you can go to the village square now......"

Xiao Pu stood up, saluted Lao Peng, and then walked out of the house, he saw that the village was crowded, and many people were moving quickly to a point.

That place, needless to say, must be where the village square is, and Xiaopu moved his footsteps and ran towards there.

The square is very large, a semi-circular meadow, and more than 100 men, women, and children have stood in it. Young people are the majority, most of the people are fully armed, it seems that there is a taste of civilian soldiers, at this time everyone greets each other, a little lively, there is a field on the top of the square, there is a small branch platform on it, there is a box and seven scrolls on the support platform, there are eight people standing behind this support platform, Lao Peng is also among them, the one in the middle is an old man with gray hair, he stands upright, with his arms behind his back, and a solemn smell arises spontaneously.

"Everyone, be ...... quiet"

"Everyone, don't talk, the village chief is going to speak......"

"Just what you're saying, others haven't said, hehe, you shut your mouth first......"

"...... here," the gray-haired village chief continued, seeing that his voice had stopped: I'll talk about the rules again, the original village's annual village hunting meeting, now changed to a large-scale hunting meeting every two years, upgraded a level, hehe, the reason is to select available talents, but because this year's hunting personnel, there are some volunteers from various villages, so it is necessary to say again, the hunters are divided into seven teams, each team has a captain, two deputy captains, ten team members, each team has a team name, according to the team name, enter the corresponding section of the map, the hunting time is fifteen days, fifteen days later, return to the village, with the quality and quantity of the prey to evaluate one, two, three, in addition to the reputation of the hunting team, there is also a personal reputation, everyone remember, to the level of the beast as the rating standard, All kinds of beasts have divided the score points, and the beasts of the same level will be rated by the number of points, okay, now please seven captains come to me to get the team cards......"

The seven people behind the old man (village chief) each smiled, came to the small platform one after another, and reached out and took out a small bronze medal in the box. Then retreat to the original position.

"Okay, now the captains of teams one to seven have come out, now ask their respective captains to pick the captains and team members ......"

"My first team" A strong man in his forties on the stage raised the bronze medal, laughed and said: "I picked Wei Chong as my first team......"

"My second team" Another strong man in his forties stood up and said, "I pick Zhang Zhang as my first team......"

"I am in the seventh team, I choose Peng Da and Peng San as my first and second captains......" It was really Lao Peng who spoke, it turned out that he touched the last team, the seventh team.

Xiaopu took a look at it and knew the reason, it turned out that the bronze medal that the seven of them touched, with the number above to determine the priority of the choice, the first to choose, but only one can be selected at a time, to the seventh after the selection, and then by the seventh to choose the second team, and then in turn, so that the cycle of selection, so relatively speaking, the overall strength of the seven teams is relatively close, and the old Peng chose Peng Da and Peng San, it seems that the face is somewhat similar to the old Peng, it is conceivable that the young man and the young man are the eldest son and third son of the old Peng.

The selection of the team members is not the choice of the captain, and the participants who want to participate in the hunting have already had the formalities, which is quite a kind of official permission, and these dozens of people are all assigned to the stage.

Xiaopu has no formalities, he can be said to be the one who walks through the back door, so now he can only wait, and when they are over, he will follow Lao Peng's team, which is something that the sixth uncle secretly told him in the carriage to pay attention to.

Little by little, the time passed, and the people formed a team one by one.

Seeing that the line was already lined up, Old Peng stepped forward and whispered in the ear of the village chief, and then took a scroll marked seven from the support platform

The village chief glanced at the people, then walked to the table, and said loudly: "Now, everyone is in place, I announce, this year's hunting meeting, I wish everyone a safe return, extraordinary results, start now, go down......"

There was a burst of firecrackers, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came to Xiaopu, handed him a burden, and said, "Hello, I'm Peng San, you follow me first, this is the equipment for you......"

Xiao Pu nodded and took the burden, which revealed the handle of a knife, and the handle of the knife was wrapped in red silk cloth, which was quite eye-catching.

Carrying the burden on his back, Xiaopu followed Peng San to the front of Lao Peng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our hunting area this time is the seventh district, and the road map is already in my hands, give you ten minutes, sort out your equipment, and in ten minutes, we will set off ......"

Xiao Pu listened, sat down on the spot, opened the baggage, the first thing to see was of course the machete, the machete is about 90 centimeters long, there are serrations on the back of the knife, the weight is about 25 to 30 catties, it is the most common mountain machete, and the boning knife is relatively delicate, the handle made of green maple wood, the total length is only 30 centimeters, the tip is bent like a hook, two ropes, one is ten meters long, one is three meters long, all are hunting ropes, this hunting rope is made of coarse linen and rock rattan plus green maple sap, the toughness is very good, and the weight is light, easy to carry, the flying claw is also an ordinary three-claw iron claw, there is a rope of two meters, and a thin sleeping bag and tent......

"Okay, let's go, Peng Da, you take the lead, Peng San, your palace, set off......"

Passing through the southwest exit of the village, the group walked past a patch of trees, and gradually, they became farther and farther away from the village.

"I said San'er, why did you bring a 'drag oil bottle' this time......" A young man who was about the same age as Peng San pointed at Xiaopu and smiled at Peng San.

"Wu Li, do you know what experience is, this kid is called experience ...... now"

"Hey, he seems to be very young...... the one in front of Wu Li also joined in the conversation.

Peng San looked at Lao Peng and Peng Da who were walking in the front, and then whispered to the two: "I heard that I am only ten years old......

"Wouldn't you, go hunting at the age of ten?"

"Hey, kid, you're really only ten years old" It was Wu Li who asked.

Xiao Pu glanced at Wu Li, nodded, and did not speak.

"Wow, I'm only ten years old, this, this is really a 'drag oil bottle'"

"What a drag oil bottle, oh, it turns out that this little ghost is only ten years old, and he really drags an oil bottle......"

Immediately afterwards, the first few brothers also joined the ranks of laughter, looking at Xiao Pu behind, most of their eyes were teasing and contemptuous.

Xiao Pu was almost indifferent to their teasing, his eyes and thoughts were always on the clothing, equipment, and configuration of these participants, including the pace of Lao Peng in the jungle valley in front of him, etc.,

One afternoon, the group walked through the jungle valley road, in other words, Lao Peng's words, now is the feeling of an outing, the real hunting, should not be until tomorrow afternoon, that is, tomorrow afternoon will really enter the hunting area.

Gradually, the twilight sun gently scented these people, and the night was coming.

"Everyone, we are camping at the 'Tongyang Lake' tonight, everyone hurry up and hurry......" Peng Da's voice came from the front.

Tongyang Lake is not big, like a drop of dew on a morning leaf, slightly round and crystalline.

Peng San found a slightly concave flat land, several other people found dry residual firewood, lit a bonfire, the group sat around, Peng San set up a stand on the fire, at this time, Peng Da took out a leg of dried meat from the baggage, put some spices and salt on it, put it on the fire to barbecue, everyone also found a place, laid out the sleeping bag, and then took out water and dry food from their own baggage, and surrounded the fire.

"Let me come" Lao Peng also took out the legs of a beast and a pot of wine from his baggage, and reached the edge of the fire.

"Hehe, with Uncle Peng, you can eat about the only delicious food" A hunter took out a pot of wine with a smile and said flatteringly: "My wine is the mellow brew of Fengcheng Drunken Brewing Pavilion, Uncle Peng, how many glasses?"

"Wow, it's good luck to be able to eat Uncle Peng's cooking......"

"Wow, the drunken brewing pavilion is ......"
