Chapter 116: Hunting in the Mountains

Qu Wu, Chen Damao, Chen Ermao and Chen Shi entered the mountains and began to search for prey.

In the early spring, the mountains and forests are filled with the fresh feeling of this green grass, and the leaves on the mountains are also beginning to bloom, and the sun shines on these translucent young leaves, verdant and shining.

The apes of the mountain forest followed their path and jumped briskly in the trees, as if deliberately provoking the nerves of the four of them, and they had no interest in this two-legged animal like a man, for eating him would cause a deep sense of guilt.

After walking for a while, Qu Wu saw a turtle dove in the tree not far away, he took out a slingshot, took out a *** pill, and shot the steel ball out after pulling the bow, with a soft bang, the turtle dove fell down in response to the sound before it had time to spread its wings.

Chen Damao saw that Qu Wu had made a gain, and admired Qu Wu's slingshot: this is a delicate slingshot carved from a whole piece of small leaf red sandalwood, unlike most slingshots that are made of forked branches, the fine cow hair patterns on the shining wooden handle make the delicate texture of the wood grain richer, the strong and elastic rubber band, a piece of cowhide wrapped in projectiles, each part is so perfect, the small slingshot makes Chen Damao admire: "Boss, where did you get such a beautiful slingshot?" How is it different from our slingshot? My slingshot is made of deer spine silk bands, I thought it was the best, but I didn't expect you to use a lot better bands than mine. ”

"This slingshot was given to a friend of mine, and the rubber bands are made of rubber, and the elasticity is excellent." Qu Wu said.

"Boss, from everything you have, you can see that your hometown is a very, very good place, do you feel lost when you come to us?" Chen Damao asked.

"To be honest, it's certainly impossible without a psychological gap. It's true that my hometown is far better than everything I have now, but it has also given me a different life experience that people in our hometown can't feel. ”

"Have you ever thought about going back to your hometown?" Da Mao asked again.

"I want to, but now I don't think about it as strongly as before, especially after losing Meng Yao, I don't dare to go back to my hometown, if I really go back alone, Meng Yao's parents ask me about Meng Yao, I really don't know how to face it."

"Yes, hey, a lot of things are involuntary, boss, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Walking and walking, he suddenly saw a gray rabbit not far in front of him, Chen Ermao put his bow on the arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow body passed through the gray rabbit's body, and the gray rabbit fell in response. Everyone cheered: this big rabbit was enough for them to eat.

It didn't take long for Da Mao to find another big wild boar, he held his breath, gently put on his bow and arrows and prepared to fire, but just as he was about to shoot, Qu Wu pressed his bow and arrow down, and said, "Let it go." "If you look closely, it turns out to be a wild boar with a big belly, and it seems that it will give birth soon.

Letting go of the boar, the four of them finally found an exciting prey---- an elk grazing alone. Qu Wu had never eaten venison since he was so old, and he was very excited to see this sturdy elk, but he also knew that the elk was very alert and fast, and it was difficult to catch.

Da Mao and Er Mao hid behind the grass, and at the same time aimed the bow and arrow at the vital part of the elk, just when the elk's head was raised from the grazing ground, two arrows shot out at the same time, one arrow hit the elk's head, and the other arrow hit the elk's neck, the elk did not fall after the arrow, but jumped up in shock and turned around and fled with the arrow, and the four people immediately chased forward.

Because of the injury, the elk ran very quickly but not very quickly, and felt that someone was chasing, so it seemed a little panicked, and it slowed down as it ran, and fell to the ground.

Qu Wu and the others ran over, only to see that the elk was panting, and its limbs had no strength to stand up, and Da Mao Ermao tied its front and rear hooves together with two ropes, and pulled out the two arrows.

Chen Shi took *** and cut a thick branch on the tree next to him, and then passed through the middle of the hooves tied with ropes in front and back, and barred up with Ermao, and everyone turned back and walked in the direction they came.

Qu Wu has field experience and knows how to orient themselves based on the position of the sun, so they don't get lost in the forest.

After beating an elk, a hare, and a turtledove, Qu Wu shot two pheasants with a slingshot on the way back, and the four of them were full of harvest and happily returned to Chenjia Village.

When I returned to Chenjia Village, it was already afternoon, and the four people carried the prey into Chenjia Village, which caused a sensation, everyone ran to tell each other, and ran to the yard of Da Mao's house to see the prey they had hit, Chen Qing, Ziyan and Chen Huan Chen Le The four little girls were even more elated to see their brothers hunting so much game.

This elk weighed more than 100 catties, and Da Mao, after discussing with Qu Wu, decided to share this elk with the whole village tomorrow.

The neighbors were overjoyed to hear the news, and everyone came to help skin and gutt the elk, and also cut some bamboo, cut it into bamboo sticks, and the elk meat was also divided into pieces to be roasted tomorrow.

Da Mao and Er Mao also processed the other turtle doves, pheasants, and hares, and stewed one pheasant and turtle dove, and the other pheasant and hares were salted and prepared to be eaten in a few days.

The next day, everyone came to the courtyard of Da Mao's house early, and the neighbors brought firewood, and made a few fires in Da Mao's yard to prepare to roast venison after lighting the fire. The elk meat was skewered with bamboo skewers and placed there for later use, and Qu Wu also prepared condiments such as soy sauce and chili powder that these people had never seen before.

While preparing, some people who are addicted to cards began to fight the landlord in the lobby of Da Mao's house, the Chen family was very lively, everyone said that Chen Da Mao got married and they were not as lively and happy as today, because today there is the most fun-loving landlord, and there is an exciting venison to eat, you must know that it is not easy to eat a meal of meat at that time.

Near noon, the elk meat skewers had been skewered, Da Mao stood on the high place under the eaves, and said to everyone: "Thank you for your care of my parents, please eat venison together today, so that the relationship between our villagers is closer and closer, and everyone can face and help each other with anything." ”

Da Mao said this because he hoped that after he left Chenjia Village in a few days, the neighbors would take more care of his parents and make up for the debt that he couldn't take care of.

After listening to what Da Mao said, everyone comforted Da Mao, saying that the affairs of Da Mao's family are everyone's business, and they will definitely take care of his parents, which made the Da Mao brothers very moved.

After saying this, everyone began to roast their venison around the fire, and after the roasting, they also learned to make sauce and so on, and everyone was very happy.
