Chapter 8: Killing the Deer

Listen intently, step, step, similar to the sound of wild cattle running wild in "Animal World" from the bottom of the hillside, the hunting operation officially began.

It was the first time in my life that I had hunted, and even the first time I had ever encountered a wild animal in a non-zoo setting, so I was very excited, and I felt a little bit of blood boiling, my heart was pounding, and I wanted to do something, but I didn't know how to do it well. So, I peeked at Zhang Erlang, ready to imitate the movements of this professional hunter in order to pretend to be handsome.

I saw Zhang Erlang kneeling, holding a bow and arrow in one hand, and putting the other hand on the ground, as if feeling the pulse of the earth. After a while, he raised his eyebrows, turned around and waved at us, and said, "The deer herd is coming, let's compare, which one shoots more!" After saying that, he jumped up, ran behind a big tree, and made a hard bow to wind, full of pulling, as if he was giving up on me.

When Li Ziming and Wang Shuigui heard Zhang Erlang say this, they also found a big tree to hide, preparing to make a sneak attack on the elk herd. Li Kang's two pro-flying soldiers, Du Feilu, were also going to join the competition, but they were glared back by Li Kang fiercely. Li Dang took a spear, stood up half a step in front of me, and said, "King, please shoot with peace of mind, and the last general will swear to protect the king thoroughly." ”

I was laughed at by Li Kang, and said in my heart that I would swear to die, just a group of elk, where would I die? Du Fei and Lu Cheng are not bad at archery, and they have shot pheasants and hares along the way, and now they are standing next to me with red tassel guns as meat shields, which is really a waste, and they don't need it at all. However, the sound of the hound barking and the deer running became louder and louder, and it was about to come to me, so I didn't have time to reason with Li Dang, so I gave him a roll of the eyes, followed Zhang Erlang's example, drew the bow full, held his breath and waited for the prey to appear.

I saw a deer antler frame emerge at the top of the slope, and before I could sigh at the valuable antlers, a large long-haired animal suddenly jumped up and rushed down the slope. Looking closely, the animal was slightly smaller than a horse, with a body as strong as an ox, a face like a horse, horns like a deer, a neck like a camel, and a mad dog in its running posture. Interesting and interesting, no wonder the elk also has a call called four.

This big four-figure should be the head deer of this herd, and the other elk followed behind it, jumping out of the top of the slope one after another, pounce on the tower, and were also driven down the slope by the hounds. Don't look at it as just a herd of deer, the momentum of escaping for your life is also a bit of a thousand jun.

I thought to myself that even more than 20 deer were so brave to run away, not to mention the iron cavalry of the Jin Army wielding maces, no wonder they all said that cavalry was the natural enemy of infantry. The Great Song Dynasty, which did not have a horse farm after the founding of the country, may have been doomed to be difficult to deal with the northern nomads, and perhaps, only firearms can really reverse the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty.

I was thinking wildly, Zhang Erlang, who was experienced in hunting, suddenly shouted and shot the first arrow outside the ambush circle, and the arrow was cold, and the big buck that followed the right side of the head deer instantly fell to the ground and stumbled far away. Li Ziming and Wang Shuigui shot their first arrows, but unfortunately they all missed. Li Ziming has a brave personality, and when he saw that his archery skills were not good, he threw away his bow and arrows, picked up his spear and rushed towards the herd of deer running over.

At this time, I was already aiming 3 meters in front of the head deer, and was about to open the bow, when suddenly Li Dang shouted in a particularly fuss, "King, how are your archery skills?" Don't hurt your own people! "I was half dead when he stopped me, and with a shudder, the head of the deer smacked, and instantly jumped over my aiming point. I am very angry, but what Li Dare said is indeed reasonable, Li Ziming is preparing to fight with the deer herd in close combat, and it is indeed easy for me to hurt him by shooting arrows like this, so I am evil from the side of the guts, I also threw away the bow and arrow, picked up the spear, and prepared to follow Li Ziming's example and rush over to pierce the elk with a gun.

Li Dang was startled, simply hugged my arm, and said hurriedly, "King, you must not come forward!" Arrows will shoot at you, antlers will stab you, iron clips will catch you. ”

I was furious, pushed Li Kang, and said, "Li Kang, I'm so unlucky!?" Are you protecting me, or are you holding me back? ”

Li Dang grabbed my arm with one hand, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground with the other, stuffed it into me, and said, "King, you should use the bow and arrow!" The last general knows that the king's archery skills are outstanding. ”

The hunting ground is changing rapidly, Li dares to ask, stop, and persuade, and the most handsome hunting opportunity has long passed. The head deer had been shot through the neck by someone and lay quietly on the ground. Jiro is also commanding, "Big belly! Two stones! Drag the horses! ”

Qiu Shi and Shi Erlang tightened the tripping rope they were responsible for, and the long tripping rope appeared in unison, surrounding the deer that were scattering and fleeing in the middle.

The elk were chased by the hound for a long time, which was enough to panic, but now they were rounded up by the hunting team, and they lost their head deer, as if they were so frightened that they foamed at the mouth, and they only knew how to run and run wildly, where could they think of how to deal with the tripping horses? They rushed straight to the tripwire, either being stopped directly by the tripwire, or falling headfirst to the ground with their front legs out of force. Around the tripwire, there are iron traps, and the iron clips are triggered and bounce up, clamping the elk tightly, making them unable to move, lying helplessly in a pool of blood, their whole body convulsions, and let out a wail.

At this time, Zhang Erlang and Wang Shuigui also rushed out from behind the big tree, opened their bows and opened arrows, shooting the elk one by one like shooting a fixed target.

At this time, Li Dang was relieved, let go of my arm, bowed his head and knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "King, please forgive me...... Or would you ...... it now?"

I nudged him hard again, turned my head and ignored him. The heart said, this king also has his own values, if I just went up with a gun, it was called a narrow road to meet the brave wins, and now go up to make up the arrows, it feels more like bullying, I don't have any interest in this.

Li Dare knew that he had offended me, but he didn't seem to feel that he was wrong, and there was still a relieved expression on his face, and he arched his hand and said, "The king is safe, it is the blessing of the last general." Will you wait for a fire to be lit at the end, and you will rest on the fire? ”

Li Kang's two personal soldiers, Du Fei and Lu Cheng, one picked up dead branches, the other cleaned the ground, and soon lit a bonfire, Li Kang and I sat cross-legged by the fire, roasting the fire and watching the others clean up the hunting ground.

By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already dark, and twenty-six elk were piled up in a high pile. Qiu Da Belly happily divided the venison, and the eleven hunting team members gathered together, roasted the deer, and chatted.

I drove away Li Kang and let Erlang Saburo be one left and one right, divided into my side. Erlang cut off a piece of venison, dipped it in the salt on the stone chips, stuffed it into his mouth, and slurred, "King, we San Lang hunted five heads, and they were all shot with an arrow that did not hurt the fur. San Lang wanted to dedicate these five skins to the king. ”

My interest in hunting has been completely ruined by Li Dang. But Erlang Saburo's face still has to be enough, so I pretended to be full of interest and said, "Oh? An arrow hit? Wait for this king to see. ”

Jiro has always liked to show off his brother, and when he saw that I was interested, he was very proud, and led me to the elk that Saburo had shot, and I saw that the five elk were indeed intact, but the buttocks and hind legs were strangely colored. I took a closer look with the torch probe, and it turned out that San Lang shot the deer, all of which were chrysanthemums that shot elk, with a strong bow of two hundred catties, and the blood and feces of the elk flew together.

I was instantly hurt by the disgusting brain, and my heart said, other people's archers shoot in the left eye and shoot out of the right eye, why are the archers under my command shooting chrysanthemums? It's a real failure today, and now, not only have I lost interest in shooting, but I don't even have an appetite, but even so, I have to nod and thank Erlang Saburo, it seems that the leader is not so easy to be.

Sitting back by the campfire, I waved at Li Dang and said, "After tonight, we'll go back." ”

Li Dare heard me say this, and breathed a sigh of relief, with an expression on his face, the king, you have finally turned back.

When Erlang Saburo heard that he was going back, he wrote a note, stuffed it into the hound collar, and sent two hounds out to call for helpers to carry the prey.
