Chapter 269: Pheasant Ridge
"It's better to have a good rest than to have the strength to speak. Wait for a pan to run to the foot of Pheasant Ridge. In this way, we can find a water source and a place to make lunch, and the picnic is not a fire in the wild!", Xu Ling looked at the two with a smile.
The girls listened to Xu Ling's magnetic voice, and they seemed to feel a clear spring flowing through their hearts. It's like listening to your favorite music, which makes people unconsciously intoxicated!
"How far is it?", Hu Xuan was already secretly complaining.
"See the hill in front of you? There is a stream between the two mountains, and there is a waterhole, where is the foot of Pheasant Ridge. Xu Ling pointed to the northwest and explained with a smile.
"Wangshan runs dead horses, brothers and sisters, come on! Bitter or not, think about the Red Army's 25,000; Tired or not, think about the revolutionary old-timers! Aren't we just playing, are we still afraid of being tired?" The fat man stood up, raised his fist high, made a mobilization gesture, and said proudly.
"Believe it or not, I kicked you into the Pacific Ocean!", Yuhu laughed and kicked people, and the frightened fat man shouted: "Brother Tiger, if you kick me, then I will really go down in two minutes." In the end, the blood flowed more than miserable, and I had to have plastic surgery, and I had to lose my face, which everyone loved and bloomed!", the fat man danced and rolled to the foot of the mountain, making everyone laugh.
Xu Ling smiled and looked at the funny fat man there, since he was a child, he was the one who knew him best. He is relieving everyone's fatigue and relieving everyone's boredom, and Yuhu also knows it, so he cooperates with each other and complements each other!
When going down the mountain, we found that there were many shrubs on the side of the road that bore a lot of fruits, black and red, one by one, firm and full, crystal clear, and hung on the branches very attractive.
"Can you eat it?", and the group walked diagonally along the road that was not a road to the bottom of the mountain. It's not easy to go down the mountain, especially when there is no road, and you have to pay attention to the safety of the surrounding area. He Yi swallowed his saliva when he saw these grapes-like fruits.
"It's a type of holly. You can't eat the fruit, otherwise you will have diarrhea and numbness, and it will be too late to cry!", Xu Ling explained to He Yi with a smile.
"I saw that the fruit of the tender red water spirit was not poisonous. Once eaten. At that time, your face will be covered with pockmarks, and your body will be covered with red rashes, how miserable it will be, tsk!", after the fat man finished speaking, he also glanced at He Yi's figure and face, with a pity on his face.
This scared He Yi enough. But Xu Ling smiled bitterly, this is just a snakeberry, how can it be so terrifying. However, in order to deter everyone from eating indiscriminately, Xu Ling did not explain.
Xu Bing and Yu Ying glanced at Xu Ling. The two of them are clear. It's just that seeing that Xu Ling didn't explain, the two of them also pretended not to know. smiled and comforted He Yi, you haven't eaten yet, why do you have a psychological shadow!
The hill in front of it can only be regarded as a small mound, only a few tens of meters, and most of them are low trees and pine fir trees, but under the trees are dense reeds, knee-high. It's harder to walk. It's not good to go around the foot of the mountain, there are ditches and bumps, and there are thorns and vines, which is dangerous at first sight.
"I'll take the lead. You guys follow close!", Xu Ling took the fat man's snake clip and took the lead up the mountain.
Step by step, he opened the thorny bushes and stepped on the knee-high reeds, and the women behind him were full of worry. After all, you can't see what is going on under your feet, in case you step on a big pit or a snake or insect. It's not comfortable!
But Xu Ling seemed to know how to walk, and led everyone to turn east and west, and reached the top of the mountain steadily. Nothing happened in between, which surprised them.
Xu Ling smiled and said to everyone: "Seeing that there is no ahead, there is a small stream at the foot of the mountain that goes from northeast to southwest, and it also merges into a small pool below. That's why I said I'll set up camp somewhere! There are a lot of prey on the opposite side of Pheasant Ridge, and I'll make a whole chicken feast at noon to treat everyone!"
"Yay!", not only the fat man jumped up happily, but even the women were smiling, Xu Ling rarely cooked a meal, but as long as he did it, it would be comparable to the chef of the state banquet!
When you can see the situation at the foot of the mountain halfway up the mountain, sure enough, as Xu Ling said, a small waterhole is embedded in the middle of the grassy flat land at the foot of the mountain like a mirror! The green grass on both sides of the creek is lush, and you can see herbivorous hares and roe deer from time to time, which makes everyone overjoyed, delicious!
Walking to the foot of the mountain, everyone found that the grass was not so green, knee-high, and the withered ones were gradually turning yellow. It may be close to autumn, although the weather is like midsummer, but the withering of this plant is not affected by the weather. It should be born and perished!
Perhaps it was too much movement, and by the time they came to the waterhole, the roe deer they had seen vaguely did not know where to go.
Xu Ling and the fat man are the most experienced, Yu Ying also arranged for everyone to help, the creek is a beach, the waterhole is surrounded by green grass, and the tender green grass blades even cover half of the waterhole, so that one-third of the water area of dozens of square meters disappears under the water grass.
Xu Ling was afraid of any dangerous creatures, so he looked around the waterhole and found that it was not very deep, four or five meters. But just after walking halfway, I found a lot of aquatic animals, not to mention the fish, fine-scale fish, miscellaneous fish, crucian carp, as well as soft-shelled turtles and loach yellow eels, the most are the frogs under the aquatic weeds, which are only hiding in the aquatic plants silently, dense! And these things not only fatten the fish, but also attract snakes, not only poisonous water snakes, but also bamboo leaf green and pit vipers hidden in the grass, more than one, so that Xu Ling couldn't help but be happy, fortunately I took a look, otherwise, the fat man came over and pointed out that something might have happened.
Xu Ling didn't care, released the golden snake meerkat, and let it deal with it. All the water snakes in the water are put into the space to add food to the meerkats.
The snake meerkat also lived up to expectations, and in a while it bit six or seven snakes outside to death. Xu Ling happened to walk around, and no other snakes were found, but carp was found in the water, both red and gold.
"Everyone come here, there are a lot of fish here, think of a way!", Xu Ling beckoned everyone, let them come to play, fish, and finally have to rely on themselves.
"Really!", the women were overjoyed when they saw the golden and red fish flashing by.
"How to catch it?", Xu Bing asked.
"The small fishing net is brought, it's useless!", An An frowned.
"Why don't you go down and catch fish, fat brother?", the fat man looked at the pool covered with aquatic weeds, and his heart was a little drumming.
"Okay fatty, you guys are fishing here, there must be earthworms in the soil, and don't go out of my range, lest you fall." Fat Brother Tiger, let's go, let's go hunt pheasants!", Xu Ling greeted the two.
Yuhu held his air gun, "I have had this gun modified, the effective shooting distance of the general air gun is only thirty or forty meters, a little better, if the gas is compressed and sealed and the pressure is strong, the hit range is almost sixty to eighty meters, I can hit the target a hundred meters away without deviating!", Yuhu shook the beautiful air gun in his hand and said as if showing off.
Xu Ling and the fat man held crossbows and looked at other people's guns, the fat man pouted, and said unconvinced: "Then let's compete and see who catches more prey?"
"Let's go, let's go to Pheasant Ridge!", Yuhu finished speaking, and took the lead towards the opposite hill with an air gun in his right hand.
The mountain is slightly higher than the hill that just came down, but it is more than twice as large. It looks like a bun and is round.
The mountains are full of dwarf trees and bushes and thorns, which provide the best habitat for pheasants, and the proximity to water sources makes it a paradise for large animals because they cannot live in this unsheltered area.
"We're in one place at a time, and we're shouting about something. Be safe, although it is the territory of pheasants, it is also a paradise for predators. Brother Tiger, especially you. Pay attention to your step, and see the thorny bushes clearly before approaching, it is easy to have snakes!", Xu Ling Yan reminded.
"Got it, I'm not a vegetarian with an airsoft gun. Yuhu didn't take Xu Ling's words to heart at all. And now I see, small trees, shrubs, and thorns grow in clumps, and although there is grass between them, it is not high, and the path is clear.
Xu Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly. The fat man can rest assured, they are all rural people, and he can know where there is danger at a glance.
Xu Ling walked to the left-hand side, and just now he saw that the trees here were thicker, and there seemed to be more pheasants. This made his heart come alive, and his father kept saying that there was a shortage of pheasant breeders, and he would see if he could catch some today.
Looking back, the women are giggling and playing in the water, and as for fishing, don't count on it.
As soon as he stepped from the grass into the range of the hill, Xu Ling frowned. Snakes were spotted in the bushes ahead. Xu Ling simply cut off a long stick and put the Tai'a sword and crossbow into the space. Walk up to the non-venomous tree snake and knock it out with a stick. Pull it out and take a look, it's not small, it's two or three catties, it's good to make dragon and phoenix soup.
Throwing it into the space, Xu Ling stepped forward, looking at the shrubs and grass not far away, Xu Ling smiled, good luck, this is a harvest. But when he saw the contents of the spiritual sense, he smiled bitterly, two foxes were eating pheasants, which pheasants!
After looking for a few minutes, Xu Ling finally found a nest of pheasants in a large dense bush and thorn bush halfway up the mountainside, there were more than a dozen of them, and they were green-bellied golden pheasants.
It was still early, and Xu Ling didn't use the crossbow and entered the space first.
Looking for and seeking, in half an hour, Xu Ling found sixty or seventy pheasants living in groups, not only green-bellied pheasants, but also colorful pheasants, which are more precious than green-bellied pheasants, and the meat quality is more delicious.
Seeing that it was almost over, Xu Ling took out his crossbow and approached a low-hanging thorn pit with his waist. He saw several pheasants running and jumping into the place, which must have been their nests.
Sure enough, when Xu Ling arrived at the edge of the pit and looked at the situation inside, he was overjoyed! )
