Chapter 4: The Divine Beast 'Slush Horse'

Wei Hongye suggested to Zhao Zizhong: "Old Zhao, let's eat something first and then set off, it's noon." ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically and said, "Okay, let's eat some compressed biscuits, pad your stomach, and don't eat too much." ”

Everyone took out dry food and ate it, and drank some water.

Zhao Zizhong quickly finished eating his share of biscuits, picked up the crossbow, and said to Du Dalei: "Xiao Du, you take *, follow me about ten meters behind, always be vigilant, don't shout when you encounter a situation, stay calm." If you see a beast, such as a wolf, a tiger, a bear, etc., immediately move closer to me, don't act without permission, you must obey my command, understand? ”

Du Dalei nodded hurriedly: "Boss, no problem, I will be obedient." Absolutely no running and shouting, follow you closely. ”

Zhao Zizhong put up his backpack, hung the binoculars around his neck, and said to Wei Hongye: "Old Wei, you take Boris and Na Zhe well, don't stay too far away from us, you must follow, you pay attention to the rear when marching, don't let the beasts sneak up on you." ”

Wei Hongye nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful." Then he looked at Boris and Na Zhe, and said: "You walk in front of me, Boris, you take the head, hold another crossbow, and pay attention to the actions of Lao Zhao in front." The small one is in the middle, observing the left and right directions at any time. ”

Na Zhe took out the * and gestured a few times: "Okay, Lao Wei, I will carefully observe the left and right." Behind followed by Lao Bao. ”

Zhao Zizhong took out his compass to identify the direction and said, "Xiao Du, let's go." "He was the first to march north. Du Dalei hurriedly followed, and after a few minutes, Wei Hongye and the three of them also set off.

Ahead was a sea of grass that stretched to the distant green mountains. Wild flowers of all colors are sandwiched between the grasses, bees flutter among the flowers, and from time to time colorful pheasants startle and flutter their wings and fly into the distance.

Zhao Zizhong cautiously led the way in front, vigilantly observing the distance as he walked. After walking for almost two hours, we approached the boundary between mountains and meadows. At this time, three beautiful animals, two large and two small, slowly came out of the woods. The one that walked in front looked a bit like a deer, and had no horns on its head. The hair on the back is straw yellow, the ears are black, and the belly hair is white; There are white patches on the buttocks and a short tail. It was followed by two smaller ones with brownish-red fur and beautiful white spots, which were supposed to be the mother beast with her cubs out to feed.

Zhao Zizhong stopped, raised his right hand into a fist and slowly squatted down. Du Dalei in the back has also read several novels and TV series describing special forces, and knew that the gesture made by Lao Zhao meant to stop advancing, so he squatted down and moved closer to Zhao Zizhong little by little.

Zhao Zi turned around and saw Du Dalei approaching him, and said softly in a very small voice: "Don't talk loudly, there should be a few roe deer in front, you wait here, I will touch it quietly, see if I can find a chance to shoot one with a crossbow, and our dinner will be over." In addition, you use gestures to inform the next three to stop moving forward and be quiet. ”

After hearing this, Du Dalei nodded, turned around and slowly moved to the rear. Boris, who was in the rear, also noticed the actions of the two people in front of him, stopped, turned around and whispered to the back: "There seems to be a situation ahead, let's stop and observe first." ”

Na Zhe and Wei Hongye leaned forward, and at this time, Du Dalei had already made a gesture of pressing his hands down to the rear. Seeing this, Wei Hongye also whispered: "I saw a few things that looked like deer in front of me, and the captain should want to hunt them." We'll just wait here, no one speaks, keep quiet. ”

Zhao Zizhong slowly unloaded the backpack on his body at this time, took off the binoculars around his neck, and gently placed them on the ground. Then he checked the imitation * in his hand to make sure that the crossbow arrow was ready to be fired at any time, nodded to Du Dalei, bowed his body and used the cover of the grass to slowly lean towards the three roe deer.

Du Dalei observed the captain's actions in place, and saw Zhao Zizhong moving forward unhurriedly, because he was wearing a camouflage uniform, which was very similar to the color of the grass, and after a while, he lost his trace.

After another ten minutes, the roe deer were still leisurely eating grass, and Zhao Zizhong still did not move. Du Dalei was a little nervous, his palms were full of sweat, and he thought: "Lao Zhao is a quasi-special forces, there must be no problem, he will definitely be able to hit the first shot, open the door, and make a big fortune." ”

At this time, Du Dalei heard a sound of 'boom', and the larger roe deer in the distance fell to the ground with a bang, and the two little roe deer were stunned for a moment, and their mouths made a "yo-yo" sound. Zhao Zizhong got up from the grass more than 50 meters away from the roe deer, quickly installed the crossbow in his hand, and quickly approached the fallen roe deer with the crossbow.

It took Zhao Zizhong seven or eight seconds to get close to the roe deer that fell to the ground, and at this time the two little roe deer were already frightened and ran away, but they did not run far, observing the situation more than 30 meters away from the mother roe deer. Zhao Zizhong saw the female roe deer twitching from time to time on the ground, with a crossbow nailed to her neck, the crossbow had penetrated about ten centimeters deep into the roe deer's body surface, and a lot of blood had flowed, and it was estimated that the roe deer would not live long. I thought to myself: "The power of this crossbow is really good, it is ferocious enough, and it will solve the battle with one shot." ”

Du Dalei ran over with a shout: "Shot, shot, I said Lao Zhao, you are really amazing, such a big thing, you can kill it in one shot, you are worthy of being a scout." ”

Zhao Zizhong shook his head and said: "This is nothing, such a big target, and still grazing, the wind is not strong, the distance is only more than 50 meters, it is easier than shooting a fixed target, and the training in the army is much more difficult than this." ”

Du Dalei said very doggedly: "Boss, I also want to learn, you teach me, I must be attentive." When I finish practicing, I'll kill a few stupid roe deer if I have nothing to do, how majestic, hahahaha! ”

At this time, the three people behind also ran over, and Na Zhe preemptively said: "Where, where, is it really the legendary stupid roe deer?" It's really not small, but I don't know if the meat is good or not. ”

Boris squatted down and looked curiously at the roe deer that was still twitching, and poked it with his finger a few times: "It's really a roe deer, a while ago, netizens on the Internet named the roe deer 'Slush Horse', and said that this is a new generation of mythical beasts." ”

Wei Hongye also said: "During my university internship, I went to Northeast China with an exploration team led by several senior professors, and I really ate roe deer meat, which tasted good and was quite lean. But it was a farmed roe deer, and today I was finally able to eat the wild ones. It's really a blessing to Lao Zhao. ”

Na Zhe looked at the two little roe deer who were still patrolling not far away and were reluctant to leave, and said, "We killed the female roe deer, and those two little cubs are really pitiful." ”

Du Dalei pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Put away your literary and artistic young man's style, we are men standing at the top of the food chain, what's the big deal about eating some meat, at most let those two little roe deer go and don't eat them." ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Xiao Du is right, in this unknown environment, we must first solve the problem of survival, and eating some wild animals is not a big problem." We must find a way to ensure that everyone takes in enough energy to have the strength to face the test of this wild environment. In the future, I will slowly teach you how to use a crossbow and a few more simple knife techniques. There are also how to set traps for hunting, how to distinguish the various wild vegetables and mushrooms that can be eaten. This requires everyone to study seriously. ”

Wei Hongye immediately said: "Don't worry, Lao Zhao, we will definitely study hard, we haven't enjoyed enough life, and there is no harm in learning more skills." ”

Na Zhe continued: "That's it, that's it, it's about the ability to save my life, my little life is still very valuable." ”

Zhao Zi waved his hand again and said: "Let's not go forward today, first find a suitable campsite, do a good job of defense, and then prepare dinner, I will show you a hand, and roast roe deer meat to eat at night." ”

Du Dalei immediately said: "I'm carrying this roe deer, don't rob me with anyone, haha!" Boris stopped him: "You give me the backpack, I will carry it for you, this roe deer is quite heavy." ”

Du Dalei nodded: "Okay, thank you, Lao Bao, it's really a good brother, it's interesting." It's much stronger than the little one. ”

Na Zhe was a little aggrieved: "I didn't say I wouldn't help you carry it, why do you keep hitting me if you have nothing to do, it's a big deal that I and Lao Bao will switch backs." ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, Zhao Zizhong explored the road in front and walked towards the mountains and forests. Then the two little roe deer screamed a few times and ran into the woods.

After walking for more than an hour, Zhao Zizhong found a mountain stream and determined to camp in a relatively open open space by the stream.

Zhao Zizhong said: "Let's camp here, Lao Wei, you take Xiao Du and Boris to set up a tent, cut more branches to enclose the camp, and hang bells." In addition, the trenches should also be dug well, and it is not wrong to do more protection. I took Xiao Na to pick up some mushrooms nearby, dig up some wild vegetables, and eat roe deer meat stew soup, but it is not enough to eat meat alone, the nutrition is not balanced. ”

Wei Hongye promised: "No problem, we will do it well, you two should be careful, take the crossbow with you, don't go too far." ”

So everyone took action. After about an hour, Zhao Zizhong and Na Zhe came back, and saw that the camp had begun to take shape, the tent had been set up, and Lao Wei and the three of them were surrounding the camp with branches, so they said to Na Zhe: "You help me build a handle, let's pick up the skin of the roe deer." ”

Na Zhe hurriedly said: "Boss, no problem, I really haven't dealt with game, you can teach me." ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "You carefully watch my movements, and you will be able to clean up your prey independently in the future." Then the two of them started to do so, and in a short time the whole roe deer skin was completely peeled off.

Zhao Zizhong disemboweled the roe deer again and took out the internal organs. He dug a pit with a camping shovel, put the entrails in it, buried it in the soil, and explained: "This is to cover up the smell of blood, otherwise it will be troublesome to attract wolves." ”
