Chapter 586: Winter Hunt 1
Next, Zhou Yu whistled and called seventeen pure white or pure black big dogs, these seventeen big dogs now look like calves, stronger than Huahua and black lions and white lions, all of them are energetic and majestic. As soon as he saw Zhou Yu one by one, he pounced excitedly, rubbing and licking, rare and unpresentable.
Zhou Yu squatted down and touched them one by one a few times, then put the cover of the climbing plow on Da Bai's body, and he flashed on the climbing plow, and modestically tugged on the reins to let Da Bai feel it. After the end, he calmed down all the big dogs and put them in a group of four, and put a sleeve on them.
To say that these big dogs really deserve the potential of being the king of dogs or the king of dogs, it was only a short time to understand their responsibilities, and then the tiger pulled up the plow, and Zhou Yu took the dogs to the snowy place under the mountain.
After choosing four big dogs to set up the climbing plow, Zhou Yu took Lao Cao and Huzi to jump on the climbing plow, let the reins be pulled, and the four big dogs didn't take much effort to pull the climbing plow and run forward, under the climbing plow is a thick ice blade, and on top is a wide wooden plank, which relieves a lot of pressure, so as the four big dogs speed up, the climbing plow also rushed forward quickly.
After running for a distance, the three brothers drove the four big dogs back to the same place, and at this time, the eyes of everyone waiting here were almost straight, and they couldn't wait to go up and feel it.
But it was not yet time to set out, and since it was a hunting trip, there were still many things to carry, so the group returned to the mountain and carried the baskets, shotguns, bows and arrows, and wooden sticks, and then happily led the dogs to the northeast.
Out of the boundary of Phoenix Mountain, they arrived at the extremely cold Ice and Snow World, and everyone was divided into four groups, and Huzi, Zhou Yu, Zhou Dabiao and Lao Cao each drove a climbing plow and began to gallop on the snow.
In my ears was the whistling north wind and the panting of the dogs. Surrounded by the vast white world, the eyes are lifted to make people feel comfortable. Swing your chest and be proud. Lao Cao was even more excited, and sang loudly the excerpt of Outwitting Weihu Mountain "Through the Forest Sea." ...... across the snowfield", although it is not very tonal, but that thick voice is matched with this vast forest and thousands of miles of snowfield, but there is also a heroic energy.
By this time it was already dawn, and the birds began to come out to feed, and flocks of birds were chirping at the branches, and occasionally a flock flew over and landed on the branches, and the snow chips that had been rubbed down fell one after another.
Everyone drove the dog to pull the plow on the snow, enjoying the passion and enjoying the beautiful forest and snow field. Occasionally, the big dog in front of him will bring up a few patches of snow and be blown on his head by the playful wind. The snow in the mountains is very pure, snow-white, and there is no trace of dust in sight, and the fine snow chips are cool in the nose, making everyone feel very fresh.
Zhou Yu only took Qingqing alone in this climbing plow, and Qingqing was wearing a lot at this time, in addition to wearing a sweater of his own, he was also wearing a hand-knitted sweater of Zhou Yu. He also wore a homespun sheepskin jacket outside, a pair of cotton gloves on his hands, and a wolfskin hat of Zhou Yu on his head.
Zhou Yu glanced back at Qingqing, who was almost unrecognizable, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Big bad, what are you laughing at? It's all your fault for making me dress like this. Finished. I'm really ugly this time, let your villagers see that people don't know how to talk about it, aren't you afraid that people will say that you have found an ugly monster? Qingqing, who was sitting in the back, said angrily.
"Silly girl. This is not Phoenix Mountain, this is in the mountains. You must not be careless, if you wear less, you can freeze people to death. Besides, isn't that how everyone wears? You see Tiny is dressed more than you. The whole person is a big bear, hehe. ”
Qingqing turned her head to look at the little man in front of her, who was dressed bulgingly, and couldn't help laughing, and after glaring at Zhou Yu, she stopped complaining, and settled down to enjoy this boundless snow scene.
Zhou Yu brought Huahua and the black lion and the white lion over this time. These three guys were dogs who had experienced the storm after all, and they were not so excited, and they were much more mature and stable than their seventeen children, but they kept leaving their plum blossom marks along the way around the plow.
After driving the plough over a hill, Wang Zhijiang led everyone to a pine forest. Everyone got off the climbing plow, and then covered the climbing plow with some pine branches, and then Wang Zhijiang took everyone and Huahua's family to continue walking forward.
All around is white, only the green pine trees are wrapped around the mountainside like a green band, dazzling in the snow, showing the tenacity of life.
The snow was more than a foot thick, and uneven places could reach people's knees. Everyone didn't feel anything when they sat on the plow, but it wasn't so easy to get down and walk.
The tightly dressed people followed Wang Zhijiang slowly forward in the snow, and Wang Zhijiang stepped on the thick snow and said happily: "Ruixue is a good year, it seems that our harvest here next year will definitely not be bad." ”
After listening to Wang Zhijiang's words, everyone nodded, the snow is thick this winter, which can not only freeze most of the pests and diseases, but also have the effect of heat preservation. After the snow melts, it is water, and this water will not evaporate all at once or be waterlogged in the ground all at once, but will keep the land moist for a long time with a freeze and disappear without excessively. It will not evaporate until the next year's thaw, and if the foundation is laid well, the crops will naturally grow well, so the next year's harvest will not be bad.
There was an experienced Wang Zhijiang in front of him to lead the way, and there were no major problems in everyone, and when they walked to the middle of the forest, Wang Zhijiang waved his hand and said: "Everyone, stop, this is it." ”
Everyone stopped, and Lao Cao hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is there a hare here?" ”
"Of course, Xiao Cao, you look at the ground." Wang Zhijiang said with a smile.
Everyone looked down at the surrounding snow, in addition to the footprints just stepped on and the plum blossom marks left by a group of dogs, there were many deep pits thick with bamboo and three-pronged footprints, Zhou Hu shouted in surprise: "Uncle, these can't be the footprints of rabbits and pheasants, right?" ”
"Of course, you see the footprints here are messy, and they're converging here in all directions, so there must be a lot of rabbits and pheasants here. The hare and pheasant after the snow are best caught, and if we are lucky, we are expected to have a bumper harvest today. ”
As soon as he heard this, Lao Cao was in a surging mood and said excitedly: "Uncle, what should we do next?" Or do you hook it like last time? You can just command, and a few of our brothers will do it. ”
"Hook down? Hehe, Xiao Cao, there is an old saying in the Northeast, 'Stick beat the roe deer scoop the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot', which is not only that our Gada is rich in products and things, but also shows that these things are really easy to get, especially in the mountains after the snow, it is quite easy to get these things. I'm going to open your eyes today. ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Zhijiang bent down to check around, and then pointed to the two pieces of snow in front of him with the most chicken paw prints, and said to Lao Cao: "Xiao Cao, you and Huzi sprinkle more wheat in the back basket on the two pieces of snow in front of you, and then return the same way, smoothing out the footprints with your hands while retreating." ”
Although Lao Cao and Huzi have a lot of questions in their hearts, this is not the time to ask, it is important to hunt pheasants. So he took out the wheat according to his uncle's words, walked to the front, sprinkled some on the snow, and finally returned and smoothed out the footprints.
Seeing that they had finished doing this, Wang Zhijiang asked Zhou Yu to take everyone and the Huahua family to hide behind the nearby big pine tree, and he wiped out all the footprints around him, and then smoothed his footprints while retreating.
Back under the big tree, the young people all came over, and Xiao Xiao's curiosity couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, why don't we hook this time?" Just sprinkling some wheat to catch a pheasant? ”
Wang Zhijiang smiled and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, hooking to catch pheasants is a method used when there is no snow, and now there is no need to be so troublesome when the snow closes the mountain." Although the pheasant is very alert, it is timid, and when it is frightened or hears a loud noise, it is easy to get hairy, and it will immediately scurry around without regard to its head. If you can't escape, you will bury your head in the snow and lose sight of people, so it is considered safe.
Therefore, when a heavy snowfall falls, it is common to see pheasants freezing to death with their heads stuck in the snow. Now we are surrounded by snow nests, and if they are frightened later, they will naturally burrow into the snow nests. All we need to do is pull them out of the snow. Isn't it easy? ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, this is not just simple, it is simply too simple, okay? But does it work?
The next moment, everyone lay behind the big tree with suspicion and anticipation, and looked intently at the two snow fields where wheat was sprinkled.
It was not long before a brightly colored pheasant appeared in its head, first looking left and right to find no enemy, and then walking towards the grains of wheat, walking cautiously and unusually cautiously, believing that the slightest noise would scare it away.
When he came to the wheat grain, the pheasant first pulled the yellow-orange wheat grain with his beak a few times, and only then pecked a grain of wheat when he saw that there was no danger, and then looked up and looked around......
In this way, the alert creature repeated this action three more times, and when he saw that there was really no danger, he cooed happily behind him.
After the cry came two pheasants peeking their brains, and when they saw the first one pecking at the wheat on the ground, they both ran over, cooing as they ate, apparently calling to their companions.
Then a fourth and a fifth appeared from the woods behind, and soon a group appeared. The next moment all the pheasants were pecking at the wheat kernels, and they were cooing excitedly when they were happy. (To be continued......)
