Chapter 54: The Hunt

After the incident, a group of people continued to drive along the stream while it was still dark. Before the end of the afternoon, it is time for the animals to drink water. There are a lot of animals seen next to the stream. Wild boars, bison, ibex, and more can be seen everywhere. Even the rare golden snub-nosed monkey was lucky enough to meet it.

The day in the mountains is peaceful, but at night it is a different law of the world, full of blood and violence, and even the best hunters do not want to wander the mountains at night. That's not hunting, it's hunting, not dying.

I don't know if Old Man Qian is the best hunter in the mountain, but his experience is beyond doubt. Before it got dark, he began to lead everyone to find a place to stay at night.

Niu Junfeng suggested that the tent should be set up by the stream, so that it is more convenient to get water when cooking.

Old man Qian said: "You can't set up a tent by the river. At night, some large carnivores that cannot be seen during the day will come out to hunt and drink, such as leopards, wolves, black blind people, and even no one is sure whether there is a mountain king in the mountain. Pitching a tent by the river at night is no different from setting it up on the edge of the cave of these beasts. ”

There is nothing to argue about this, so as the old man Qian said, set up the tent in a place with his back to the mountain wall, so that once it is attacked by wild beasts, it will avoid being attacked by the enemy.

After choosing a foothold, Old Man Qian summoned the sunspot and prepared to go out to hunt. Niu Junfeng said that he also wanted to learn how to hunt in the mountains, so he called his big dog and followed Old Man Qian into the forest with a repeater.

Zhang Taiping also went out to hunt with Wang Gui and Yang Wanli, of course, Wang Peng would definitely follow Zhang Taiping, so the four of them added Ah Huang and Ah Lei two dogs. Only He Cheng and Ye Qing were left in the camp plus two big dogs to protect the two beauties.

Old man Qian explained some of the skills and taboos of hunting in the mountains to Niu Junfeng while walking, and also talked about the surnames of some animals, mastering these surnames is equivalent to mastering the life of the prey, and you can easily hunt food at night.

When he arrived at the ideal hunting area, Old Man Qian no longer spoke, but walked lightly like an ape, silently in many places, and walked all the downwind. Niu Junfeng didn't dare to make a sound, and tiptoed behind Old Man Qian. The two dogs felt the tense atmosphere and separated and surrounded the two wings without the master's orders, like two ghosts ready to attack at any time, especially the black-haired sunspots, who could blend with the shadows of the trees by hiding in the shadows of the trees, completely killer-level dogs in the mountains and forests, as cunning as wolves.

Old man Qian stood in his seat and took out the snakeskin bag on his shoulder. Corn kernels soaked in wine, transparent but tough silk threads, and a few small iron hooks. Thread the kernels of corn on barbed iron hooks, with the other end of the small hook tied to the silk thread, and tie the other end of the silk thread to the tree or wrap it around the hand.

Sprinkle corn kernels with iron hooks and transparent silk threads on the ground, then hide and wait patiently.

Niu Junfeng asked, "Why don't you just use a shotgun?" ”

Old man Qian replied: "There are rules in the village that hunting rifles are not allowed, and they can only be used for self-defense as a last resort. ”

Niu Junfeng nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more.

Ten minutes later, a group of stupid pheasants came and pecked at the corn kernels. Niu Junfeng saw that Old Man Qian was still waiting, so he didn't take it upon himself to attack now, otherwise after a while, a pheasant cooed a few times, and a group of brightly colored pheasants came over.

After waiting for a while, Old Man Qian motioned for Niu Junfeng to come over with his ear, and whispered in his ear: "After I shout for a while, you try to shoot arrows as high as possible, don't go low, otherwise you will accidentally hurt your dog." Niu Junfeng nodded in understanding.

When he was about to finish eating the corn kernels, Old Man Qian suddenly roared. The pheasants were frightened and scattered and flew away. Niu Junfeng shot into the air as he had said before, and one of them was really shot down.

The two dogs then pounced on each of the pheasants that had just flown up.

Old man Qian hurriedly ran out and twisted the necks of three pheasants who were still struggling. Then I followed the silk thread and found four more corn kernels that had eaten the thread and burrowed into the grass and couldn't run, and simply twisted his neck neatly. Tie up the seven pheasants and pick them on a wooden stick, and He Niu Junfeng changed places.

This time it's no longer about catching pheasants, it's about blocking rabbit nests.

Along the main road that is obviously a rabbit often passes, I found a rabbit nest hole, and it was said that the rabbit was three cellars, and the rabbit hole was more than this one hole after all, so the old man Qian carefully found the other two holes, and placed several rabbit traps at each hole. Have the two dogs stay on guard on the perimeter to prevent the unleashed rabbits from escaping.

Then he found an active outlet that seemed to be in and out of the house, pushed up a pile of firewood, lit it, sprinkled damp leaves on it, and did not let it burn, only a large amount of smoke came out, and lay down at the entrance of the cave and fanned the hole with his clothes. The cave is connected to each other, so that if there are rabbits inside, they will be choked out, and they rush out of several holes opposite the source of the smoke in a panic.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for there to be movement, and the other two holes rushed out of the two rabbits, and they were immediately caught by the thin wire, and the harder they struggled, the tighter the wire was raised. There was a panic rushed out of the fire, the rabbit also knew to play tricks, the most dangerous place is the safest place, after rushing out, the old man did not expect a rabbit to rush out of this hole, so he did not have time to make an effective response, was run out, but there are two big dogs outside, and they can't run away.

There has been a rabbit not just rushing out of there. went to run to the direction of the sunspot's ambush, and was directly pounced on by the sunspot and pressed to the ground, and bit to death. The three cellars of the cunning rabbit are indeed true, and they do deserve the word "cunning rabbit", saying that the three cellars are said to be less, like this nest has at least four holes. If you're not careful, you can really escape.

Gao Junfeng's Caucasus went to chase the rabbit that rushed out of the fireworks. The old man came back for a long time, and when he saw his master, he let go of his mouth as soon as he was happy, and as soon as the rabbit that was still alive landed, he rushed out, and the black himself suddenly jumped forward and bit him to death.

This is the difference between an inexperienced dog and an experienced dog that runs in the mountains and forests all year round and hunts for the most important years. Like a sunspot, he will bite to death in a straightforward bite after being caught, leaving no mercy, completely avoiding giving him another chance to escape. And Niu Junfeng's big dog has never seen blood, and the experience of hunting can be said to be no, and it can be said that it is instinctive to catch rabbits, and there is no concept of biting to death after catching them, and almost let the pigeon fly in his mouth.

The two picked up two rabbits that had been bitten to death by sunspots, and Old Man Qian took a wooden stick to knock to death the two rabbits that were still struggling in the rabbit trap. Said.

"These are enough, Dashuai and Wang Gui may still hunt some there, let's go to the river first and deal with these."

"Okay" Niu Junfeng responded, lifted a few rabbits and said, "I didn't expect it to be so easy to hunt in the mountains, I thought it would be difficult, so the food I brought was enough to eat for three days, and now it seems that I have extra luggage." ”

"In the mountains, it is easy to hunt if it is good, and it is difficult to hunt if it is difficult to hunt, mainly depending on whether you have vision and experience. The key is to find a good position, otherwise you may be busy for a long time and have nothing or have escaped from somewhere else. ”

"Well, if I had hunted it by myself, I would definitely not have been able to get so many things."

Niu Junfeng is also a wonderful person, belonging to a character who is rough on the outside but not stupid on the inside, which inadvertently slapped the old man Qian. Old man Qian also smiled and explained to him many other essentials of life in the mountains.

An old man and a young man went to the stream in harmony all the way to deal with the prey, not to mention it for the time being. Let's talk about the hunting situation of Zhang Taiping and Wang Gui.

Zhang Taiping, Wang Gui, Yang Wanli, and Wang Peng walked far away from the base camp, and they didn't see a few prey along the way, but they saw a few pine trees on the trees, but no one wanted to eat squirrel meat, so they didn't pay attention to it, but continued to look for prey carefully. I don't know if the animals can sense it or if the four of them are really unlucky today, but after half an hour, they caught a pheasant.

Wang Peng couldn't help complaining: "It's really evil today, why can't there even be a rabbit?" ”

No one paid any attention to his nonsense, and the other three were still engrossed in looking around for clues.

"I don't know what happened to Old Man Qian" Wang Peng was about to say more, but was stopped by Zhang Taiping with a gesture.

The four of them all held their breath before they faintly heard a humming sound, Zhang Taiping and Wang Gui nodded to each other, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes. Zhang Taiping turned his head and said to Yang Wanli: "Don't let Ah Lei rush forward for a while, just let it look around, don't let the prey run away." ”

He and Wang Peng also understood that the little thing was not hunted, and now there is a big guy, and these two cattle people are ready to hunt this big guy.

Zhang Taiping said to Wang Peng, who was holding a cattle slaughtering knife: "If the situation is not right, run to the tree, don't be stupid and rush up with a knife. ”

Wang Peng nodded like pounding garlic after hearing this, he really frightened him last time, and he definitely won't do it again this time.

The four of them groped softly, and sure enough, it was a super two-pole in the mountain forest-a wild boar, using his mouth to feed the soil under the roots of the tree, biting the stone to the ground and clucking to sound very human, and his body was still rubbing against the tree.

It's not a strong pig, it's just an adult, and it must be another stunned person who doesn't know how to leave the group and move alone. Zhang Taiping motioned for Wang Peng and Yang Wanli to go up the tree first, and patted Ah Huang and Ah Lei, who were squatting next to them.

Wang Gui nodded, and gently made a big circle, going around the back of the wild boar to escape the only way.
