Chapter 54: Poachers on the Prairie
"We're out of food...... Lin Ya said with a frown. He even felt like his stomach was crying out for help.
But this is the grassland. Neither had experience in hunting in the steppe. They finally found a pile of dry grass and started a fire with flint and steel.
Coming out of the Vistata Forest, another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
The two of them had almost nothing, but fortunately their clothes were still warm. Almost everything was left in its place, and the only things available to the two of them were a gun, a hunting knife, and a small bone knife. This is also thanks to the fact that Schezer carries a flint and steel with him.
"Let's go hunting. "Shezel was hungry too. After all, the berries in the forest give very little energy. Shezel picked up his hunting knife and prepared to go in search of his prey.
Shotguns have a limited number of bullets, so you should save them unless necessary.
"There must be voles or something on the prairie...... Szell muttered. Because of the reason for raising deer, they rarely hunt anymore, and most of them eat some berries and wild vegetables together.
Shezel slowly peeled away the snow in front of him, looking carefully.
Suddenly, Szezer felt his left foot empty and sink into something, and he hurriedly plunged his hunting knife into the snow next to him.
After a while, he realized that his body had not fallen, and that his foot had been stuck in the hole.
He felt something bite at his leather boots. With a strong hand, the hand holding the knife pulled himself out.
It turned out to be a vole hole!
"Hey 1 Lin Ya! There are voles here!"
Lin Ya was lying on the ground hungry and didn't want to move, but when he heard Xie Zeer's words, a carp suddenly stood up.
"Where, where?" Lin Ya picked up two shotguns and ran over quickly. Xie Zeer looked at Lin Ya like this, speechless, and pointed to the rat hole: "Smoke them out with smoke, it should be okay." β
The two of them lit cigarettes, and Lin Ya took off his clothes and fanned himself into the cave.
After a while, a dark shadow seemed to rush out of front of me!
Lin Ya rushed towards the vole, and with a wave of the bone knife, he forked the vole.
"Lin Ya! there's still !" The snow was very empty, and the traces of voles were particularly obvious on the snow.
Lin Ya pulled out the bone knife, pulled out a dead branch from the snow next to him, and stuck it next to the vole. Lin Ya looked at the fat vole and almost smelled the aroma of roasted meat.
But he glanced ahead and chased after him.
......
"If you don't chase it, you're going to starve to death...... Lin Ya said breathlessly, pulling the last vole off the bone knife.
There are so many bamboo rats in this litter?
Shezer had also chased a long way, but he was too tired to do so, and when he looked back, he saw seven or eight dead branches standing up.
Now, there is enough food for them to eat for several days......
Just as I was thinking, a dusty thing ran out from the left not far away!
Lin Ya was overjoyed and immediately raised his gun to fight.
"Don't, Lin Ya...... It seems to be a human ......" Shezel said, and after a closer look, it was indeed a human being!
The man seemed to be weaving through the prairie, running as fast as he could, barely pausing!
"Should we ask for directions...... Lyinga said, turning his head to look at Sezel.
Shezel squinted at the dusty man. He seemed to be holding something in his hands......
"I'll go, it can't be our vole......" Szell muttered, and found that although the man had gone farther and farther, he had perfectly passed almost every point where the dead branches were inserted!
Lin Ya took a look at it and also noticed that something was wrong!
"Bastard, give me back the vole!" Lin Ya threw down the vole in his hand and chased after the man in the direction of escape!
But Lin Ya already had no strength, and when the man heard Lin Ya's scream, he ran faster and faster!
Lin Ya was extremely angry, and chased after the man, and he actually had some intention of catching up.
The man seemed to be in a hurry, and in his panic something seemed to have fallen on the snow!
The man was about to turn around and pick it up, but Lin Ya was already about to run in front of him! He didn't expect Lin Ya to run so fast, and when he saw the anger on Lin Ya's face, he didn't have time to see what he had dropped, so he quickly accelerated and ran forward.
Lin Ya was chasing, and seeing that he was about to catch up, he suddenly felt that his feet slipped and he fell on the snow!
He crawled to his feet, and when he looked further, he saw that the man had already run far away!
Lin Ya angrily smashed the snowdrift next to him, and then looked back, looking for the thing that tripped over him.
Seeing Lin Ya fall, Xie Zeer also hurriedly walked over. He just took a look, and there were only three voles left...... Fortunately, these voles are all fat, and they should be enough to survive today.
Shezel approached Lin Ya and found him holding a piece of torn sheepskin hair.
The sheepskin looked like it had been sitting for a long time, and it looked like a ...... Map?
Shezel snatched the sheepskin from Lin Ya's hand. Lin Ya came to his senses, picked up the vole that Shezel had placed on the ground and roasted it.
Shezel sat on the ground, studying the diagram carefully.
This large area of clearing, with a little bit of clearing, is the grassland where we are...... Here it is...... The Vistata's Forest is also marked with the Vistaya people...... This is...... My Forest Clan!
Shezel looked at the picture and was stunned. I don't go to many places by myself, but I still read a lot of books. This drawing not only meets the common standards of hunters, but is also very comprehensive.
One by one, the rivers and even the streams are included!
When Shezel saw this, he was distracted.
"Ze, it's time to eat. Lin Ya handed it to Shezel with a rat leg on a dead branch. Only then did Szezer smell the aroma of roasted meat.
Lin Ya gulped down on vole meat and was addicted.
And Shezel was biting the meat while looking at the map, and he didn't feel how fragrant the meat was.
His attention is all on the map!
"Lin Ya. Shezer put down the map, bit the flesh and said vaguely, "I seem to have found a place to go to resupply." β
"Oh?" replied Lynya, shoving a large piece of rat meat into his mouth.
"It seems to be the poacher's tribe......"
The more Lin Ya thought about it, the more angry he became. They lost four or five voles in exchange for such a broken map!
"Shall we go after eating?" said Shezel, looking at the vole skins, and thinking that they could be used to make some leather bags or something.
"What's the hurry?" Lin Ya gnawed on the flesh on his bones, showing Shezel what was behind him.
He actually roasted all three voles!
"You ......" Shezel was stunned, but shook his head helplessly at the thought that when they arrived at the poacher's tribe, they would also have supplies to use.
......
After the two men had eaten their fill, they followed the map and headed for the poacher's tribe. The poacher was very clever, he made footprints everywhere, and without this map, the two of them might not have been able to find it.
"I was just like that! I caught that vole......" Lin Ya smelled a scent and looked towards itβ
It's the dusty figure!
There were also a few children around the figure, and in the middle were two half-cooked voles that had been roasted!
"Hey, give me back the vole!" Ringa yelled and rushed over there!
Shezer was still observing the surroundings, and when he saw that Lin Ya had already run forward, he had no time to stop it, so he had to shake his head......
"Hey, why are you stealing my vole?" Ringa shouted at the man. The children next to him all looked at each other, as if they couldn't understand Lin Ya's words......
"Hmph, what can I do if I stole it?" the man was a little short and stocky, and he looked like he liked to lie.
"Bastard!" Lin Ya raised his fist to strike. Who knew that the person didn't fight back, but pulled the child next to him and turned his head and left!
Lin Ya was stunned for a moment, and realized that they were not speaking tribal language...... Then why does this fat man speak tribal language......
Lin Ya was amazed why everyone he met spoke tribal language......
"Ah yes, give me back the map. The man turned his head and said confidently.
"How can you still be so arrogant!" Lin Ya felt like his head was going to be on fire!
