Chapter 5 Fellow, Do you sell venison?

The location of Li Si's ambush was chosen in a sparsely wooded bush, and the dense vegetation was not conducive to their archery, but to the escape of the sambar deer.

Wang San sat in the pit and fell asleep. Suddenly, Li Si stabbed him. The sambar deer are coming! He perked up, and looked out through the gap like Li Si.

A herd of sambar deer came over. They are agile and orderly. A stag walks in front of the team and appears to be the leader of the team. The antlers on its head are what hunters often call the "big fishtail", and there are three on the left and right sides, and the antlers are the most perfect when they have seven branches. This horn has ossified into a hard, angular, dry horn that is three feet long. This marks that it is at least four years old. It is four feet tall and quite imposing. Along the way, from time to time "drifting" screaming. Li Si knew that its cry did not mean that it had found them, but to warn other deer herds that this area was covered by it, and those who came over should drive them away.

Wang San only drooled when he looked at the stag. According to experience, just this end can produce more than 100 catties of meat. Although the antlers are only half the price of a sika deer, they are also a lot of income. He was a little worried that the trap was shallow.

Li Si twisted a small handful of beards, and was very excited in his heart, this vote was won. He is confident in the game he has set. He was ten years old and ran around with his father all over the mountain. At that time, there were also many sambar deer in eastern Guangdong, but the more they fought, the more difficult it became, not to mention, there were fewer and fewer of them.

When he was eighteen years old, he heard that Hongmao Fan recruited people to come to Taiwan to hunt deer, and there were few people and more deer in that place, so he came. In the process of hunting, I knew Wang Er and Wang San, and they were more close together. Later, after Wang Er's death, he accepted Wang San as his brother-in-law.

Li Si likes to meet the bucks who have just come of age, arrogant and fearless. He hated the stag that lived to be a teenager and didn't die, and in his opinion, the kind of deer was smarter than many people.

The young buck, triumphantly walking along the familiar path, its sense of smell telling it that it was safe to be around, but it did not notice the danger lurking under its hooves. It falls cleanly into the trap. Its first reaction was not to sound an alarm, but to howl angrily, as if trying to find its opponent desperately. The noose under its hooves accurately lassoed its hooves, and the more it struggled angrily, the tighter and tighter the noose became.

The sambar deer behind were confused, perhaps because the stag did not sound the siren, they did not run around and were watching around the trap. Some sambar deer are also busy eating green grass leaves sprinkled with salt water.

Li Si saw that the time had come, and burst out with a loud shout, and opened his hand to be an arrow, and a doe that was chewing on leaves was shot through the neck, and he was dying. Not to be outdone, Wang San threw a javelin after him, hitting a fawn in the back, and the fawn fell to the ground screaming. The other deer scattered, but none of them fell into the trap. Li Si was already very satisfied. That one buck will sell at least a lot of Lear. And he saw that the doe he shot was still with cubs, and the deer fetus was a good price.

In the east, there was another wailing of sambar deer, haha, and another one was struck.

Li Si said to Wang San: "Don't worry about the trap yet." It is now gaining momentum, resisting so badly that if it is not careful, it will also be a loss if it hurts its antlers. Sprinkle more salt water on it for a while, and then thirst it for half a day, and it will die. You go and kill the one first. Listening to its call, it was a half-sized deer. ”

Wang San said excitedly: "Okay! And he returned to the place where he had set up an ambush, and took a short, stout deer-beating stick, and went to the east.

Heart of the Ocean pauses for a moment. Because the people above are arguing. It has been suggested to stay somewhere and wait, to save diesel and be safe. Some people also suggested that the estuary area is so rich in resources, which just shows that the civilization here is not developed, and even if there is a civilization, it must not be of high level, so there is no need to consider safety. If you want to find them, you have to go upstream, and from the topography, the upstream water is shallow and the terrain is high, which is very suitable for low-level civilizations. It is also said that it is better to go back to the coast and walk along the coast. Zuihou's suggestion was unanimously rejected by everyone. There were also people who cursed.

Wu Dapeng, who had been quiet, suddenly smiled and said, "Have you noticed that it seems that our tempers have become irritable?" Everyone fell silent.

Li Ziqiang daoqian: "I'm sorry, Jianren, I didn't know weishenme became so impulsive. ”

Professor Jian smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, the more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes!" ”

Sun Defa said: "There is no effect in fighting like this, so let's set up a group." ”

"Yes, let's call it the Enlightenment Society," Song Shida recalled, "What a lofty ideal we had back then to open up the wisdom of the people and build democracy and the legal system!" It's a pity that today's young people, with the efforts of all kinds of shili, have long stopped caring about politics. ”

Li Ziqiang said loudly: "Don't care about them, now we are young people!" It's also called the Enlightenment Society, and it's still the first team leader of Big Bird. ”

"Although the name sounds naΓ―ve now, it represents an experience for us," Professor Jian said. I agree. ”

Sun Defa said: "Let's go back to 20 years ago. I agree with that. ”

After deliberation, the team leader Wu Dapeng issued the first order: continue to walk for an hour, and then find a suitable location for mooring the boat.

Heart of the Ocean continued to move forward, maintaining a speed of less than three knots. The banks of the river are narrowing, and the plants along the banks are changing, and some bamboo forests and shrubs are beginning to appear.

"If there were humans here, they wouldn't be the match for plants right now."

Professor Jian searched the shore with a telescope while chatting with Song Shida. Li Ziqiang and Wu Dapeng observed the other side.

The river became calmer, and the hull of the ship was not as swaying as it had been when it first entered the estuary. Although the engine is not loud, it can occasionally startle a few waterfowl to pass over the river.

"Look there, Right Bank!" Wu Dapeng suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction Wu Dapeng pointed out.

On the right bank of the river, there were two people. If you look closely, one is slaughtering a black animal on the ground with a knife, and the other is squatting by the river washing something like intestines.

Wang San and Li Si finally moved the four sambar deer to the river. After the sambar is killed, it must be immediately disemboweled, otherwise a "covering" will be ruined in the water, and the quality of the deer skin will be affected. So the two of them immediately got busy regardless of their fatigue. Li Si took the hand knife and completed the disemboweling, skinning, and defleshing of the three smaller sambar deer in one go. The biggest one wants to stay in Zuihou, which is a rare enjoyment. Wang Sanfu pulled out many leaves of the superba tree and put them on the ground. His heart blossomed, although he couldn't count how much silver these four sambar deer could sell, but the fourth brother said that he would share more of himself. Maybe the money saved in the past few years can be said to be a daughter-in-law. He washed the deer in the river and placed them on the beach, where they would be half-dried in a few hours. He was happily washing when he heard a faint rumbling sound. It's going to rain? He looked up at the sky, and there were no clouds. Did you hear it wrong? Buried himself in the work again.

After a while, Li Si, who had just finished skinning the deer, also stopped, straightened up and asked, "What sound?" ”

Wang San replied: "I heard it too, isn't it going to rain?" ”

"Impossible, it's a sunny day."

The two of them looked around. I saw it suddenly. Oh my God, a strange white boat on the river that glows with the sun is coming!

Everyone looked at the two people in their glasses: it's so good, it's two Han people. Hair in a bun wrapped in cloth on his head, cotton clothes on the right side, blue cloth belt around his waist, half-length trousers, and his shoes clearly. It is a deer that does not slip into autumn, and you can see the long antlers.

"They see us!"

Everyone saw the surprised expressions of the two men in the binoculars, and then made a gesture to run.

"Fat boy, slow down, don't scare them away."

"Shoot them both down!"

"Shout a few words and let them know that we are good people."

"Shouting what?"

"Whatever!"

Li Ziqiang turned on the speaker, and after thinking for a long time, he picked up the microphone and said, "Fellow, is venison for sale?" ”

Li Si and Wang San had been staring at the strange ship in fear, and their hearts were pounding. Suddenly, the boat made a loud noise, and it was hard to hear what was being said. The two of them didn't need to discuss, a beautiful Qi turned around and rushed into the distance.

"Damn!" The crowd was angry.

"If I just shouted, 'Hello fellow,' I would have been fine."

"It's useless, they're afraid. Besides, I don't know if I can understand it. Prepare for it, it's here. ”

Everyone quickly put on police riot uniforms. Song Shida and Professor Jian were still hurriedly inflating the assault boat.

Li Ziqiang gave an evaluation: "The level is not good." ”

Song Shida said to Li Ziqiang, who was neatly dressed and holding seven consecutive hairs and dressed coolly: "Damn, Lao Tzu has seen this thing for the first time, and it would be good to find the inflatable port." ”

Since it is only seven or eight meters away from the river bank, there is no engine, otherwise I don't know how to trouble. After carefully lowering the assault boat, they lowered the gangway, and everyone landed on the boat with difficulty. On the contrary, the retired police dog jumped off with great ease, quietly leaning against Professor Jian's side and squatting. Since it was brought, Professor Jian has been taking care of it, and it seems to be a little emotional.

After a few rows, the boat touched the shore.

Several people jumped onto the shore in turn and tied up the assault boat. Everyone stepped on the earth of different shijie, and the two ancients they saw just now were Han Chinese, so they removed the worries of aliens and zombies, and they were in a particularly comfortable mood.

Li Ziqiang looked around, wanting to say something grandiose, but he couldn't say anything, so he simply held the DV hanging around his neck to shoot around.

Wu Dapeng said: "Li Zi, you observe the upstream direction of the river, ambassador, you observe our front, and I observe the downstream direction of the river." Pay attention to keep a distance from the woods, and if there is any abnormal movement, don't confirm what it is first, shoot directly! Fa Tsai and Jianren measured the sextant, it was almost noon. ”

Sun Defa and Professor Jian first went to check the things left by the two ancients. A cloth baggage, two bows, two quivers, two shovels, wooden sticks, and the like. Three small and one large deerskins hung on the branches, and the venison was cut and placed on the ground covered with leaves. Not far away on the beach are deer in the water. These are two deer hunters.

Professor Jian said: "This is a sambar deer. Brownish-black fur, very typical. ”

Sun Defa nodded and said, "I remember that Guangdong, Hainan, Taiwan, and Vietnam are all distributed. ”

Professor Jian said, "If we use the elimination method, we can guess that this isβ€”"

"Don't worry, we'll measure now."

Sun Defa's watch is now half past eleven, which is the Beijing time of the original shijie. He had no evidence to determine that his time was exactly the same as his local time, so he had to do it in the same way that a high school student would.

He found a relatively straight branch and stuck it on the ground, and asked Professor Jian to draw the position of the shadow every ten minutes, the shortest must be noon, and then compared it with twelve o'clock at noon on his watch, calculate the time difference, and get the longitude. As for latitude, it can be calculated using the length of the shortest shadow, and of course it is more convenient to use a sextant. Professor Jian was assigned to use the former method to calculate, and Sun Defa to use a sextant. Originally, there was Li Ziqiang, but because of his random report, he was kicked out.

Maybe not exactly, but a rough idea would do.

Sun Defa's watch is an all-steel sports mechanical watch from Switzerland, which is expensive and extremely accurate. When his watch reached twelve o'clock, the shadow of the branch did not seem to be at its shortest, and after another two minutes, the shadow rebounded on a thin line, Sun Defa calculated in his heart, knowing that this was about 120 degrees east longitude, he immediately took out a sextant and pointed it at the sun, calculated the reflected light, and obtained the data of 22 degrees north latitude. He also asked Professor Jian about the calculation result, which was also nearly 22 degrees north latitude.

Sun Defa took out the map and carefully compared it, and said loudly: "We are in Gaoping River, Taiwan!" ”

Li Si and Wang San did not run far. They cautiously peeked out through the dense forest. There were five men in black, and a dog, and three sentinels, wearing strange armor and holding half-length and not short fire systems, patrolling around. There were two more on the ground who didn't know what to do. It's not stealing your own venison, is it? Li Si and Wang San secretly changed angles again, wanting to see clearly. Suddenly, the dog barked, and the two of them were so frightened that they did not dare to move.

"Taiwan? What a place. Song Shida replied while soothing the dog. The dog kept barking at the depths of the forest, either a wild beast or the two men who had not run far, and were peeking at them. Song Shida lifted his helmet and whispered, "Fuck, it's too hot!" I just saw that the thermometer was thirty degrees, and now I don't know how many there are, but it must be higher. ”

The three of them approached Sun Defa and picked up the map to look at. Commenting from time to time.

"It turns out that we came to the Gaoping River, isn't the other side of the river Kaohsiung?"

"It's a pity that I've only been to Kaohsiung's Love River, and I don't know about Gaoping River."

"I don't know, it doesn't matter, I'm going to starve to death."

When they came ashore, everyone brought food. But the extra venison gave them more options.

"Bring some, let's bake it and eat it. In that shijie, it is a national second-class protected animal, and it can only be eaten if it is related, and it tastes excellent! Song Shida had long recognized it as a sambar deer. Then he whispered, "I'm sure those two people don't want these things, and they're still in the dense forest, or else the dog's neck hair is always rising?" ”

"Okay, let's roast this venison and see if they can't get out." Wu Dapeng immediately understood what he meant.
