Chapter 153: The Method of Hunting
Chapter 152: The Method of Hunting
When breakfast was ready, the cakes and sweet potatoes that Xia Qiqi was going to bring were carefully wrapped in oiled paper and placed in a bamboo basket.
Bringing a bow, quiver, gloves and felt hats, Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu prepared to enter the mountain.
The weather is cold, and the people in the village basically nest at home to bake the fire, like Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu, who stepped on the heavy snow and went out to make a living, but there was nothing at all.
Xia Duofu personally sent Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu to the entrance of the village, and did not forget to tell them along the way, "Qiqi, Ah Jiu, your mother is heavy and inconvenient to come out, she said to let you pay attention to safety and return safely!" ”
Xia Qiqi nodded heavily, and she said to Xia Duofu, "Dad, I will go with Ah Jiu for at least two or three days, you must protect my mother at home!"
If my grandmother and my second uncle come to ask for trouble, you just pick up the firewood knife and cut at them! ”
Xia Duofu nodded awkwardly, the expression on his face was unnatural.
Saying goodbye to Xia Duofu, Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu went to the mountains together.
It was snowing, the mountain road was not easy to walk, and it was going up the mountain again, and it was a little slippery along the way.
Xia Qiqi wrapped the straw rope he made around his and Lu Jiu's shoes one by one, and finally solved the problem.
Those straw ropes, she was originally going to tie the prey, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
After a long journey, we finally reached the mountainside.
Lu Jiu stopped and pointed to a large stone that was half covered by heavy snow and asked Xia Qiqi to rest.
Of course Xia Qiqi was unwilling.
The stones were cold and cold, and they had only been out for a long time, so they had to rest, and when they were really tired, what could they do?
"I'm not tired! Ah Jiu, how did you hunt in the past winter? Can you teach me not? Xia Qiqi asked.
Lu Jiu didn't think about it, and shook his head directly.
was rejected so completely, Xia Qiqi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Ah Jiu, don't be so stingy, I just want to know how you hunt!" Xia Qiqi rushed to Lu Jiudao.
She looked at Lu Jiu with blank eyes, looking very pitiful.
Lu Jiu stared at her, and when Xia Qiqi didn't have time to react, he took off the basket on his back and put it on the snow next to him, and then suddenly lay on the ground-
In front of Xia Qiqi, he swept the snow on his body little by little, and after a while, the snow covered his body.
Xia Qiqi waited for a long time, but she didn't see Lu Jiu get up, she suddenly realized.
Lu Jiu's method of hunting is the most primitive way, lying in the snow and waiting for the prey to pass by.
If a prey passes by, he attacks violently.
Knowing a little bit about Lu Jiu's past, Xia Qiqi suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
He's not like most people.
To survive in the human world, you just need to work hard and exchange labor for food.
Otherwise, he will become a beggar, waiting for the people around him to give him a little food, and get something for nothing.
But Lu Jiu's world is different, he is facing thousands of fierce beasts in the entire forest, to survive, he must endure more than those real fierce beasts, and must pay more than those real fierce beasts.
Otherwise, he would be the first to starve to death!
"Ah Jiu, get up! This method of hunting is too backward! We have bows and arrows, as long as we hide in the shadows, we will be done! ”
Xia Qiqi pretended to be relaxed, and the person buried in the snow rubbed it and sat up.
He twisted his body twice, shook all the snow off his body and fell to the ground, and then got up and stood up.
"Where there is prey, I will follow you!" Xia Qiqi Dao.
Lu Jiu led Xia Qiqi all the way to seven turns and eight turns.
Since it snowed, in Xia Qiqi's opinion, the surrounding environment was almost the same.
It's all big trees wrapped in silver snow, and it's all the same.
Suddenly, Lu Jiu stopped, his eyes staring straight at the snow not far away.
It was a trail of footprints, very fresh footprints, as if an animal had passed by not long ago.
Xia Qiqi glanced at it, it looked like the footprints of a sika deer.
Could it be that there is a sika deer ahead?
Xia Qiqi thought like this, Lu Jiu had already bowed slightly, carefully staring in the direction where the footprints disappeared.
"Is it a sika deer?" Xia Qiqi asked in a low voice.
Lu Jiu nodded, and shouted at Xia Qiqi again.
This is what Xia Qiqi taught him, there is prey, so he reminded her.
Xia Qiqi excitedly untied the bow on his back, took out an arrow, and stared ahead with great interest.
Lu Jiu also took a bow and arrow, and chased out along the footprints of the sika deer.
Xia Qiqi followed, and the two of them walked farther and farther, and gradually, they entered the deep mountains.
The sika deer's footprints suddenly disappeared, and Lu Jiu suddenly became vigilant.
He stared around, and he was sure that the deer was nearby.
Xia Qiqi felt the vigilance emanating from him, and she also stared around, the bow and arrow in her hand were set up, ready to be fired at any time.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the snowdrift in front of him, and before Xia Qiqi could pull his bow in a hurry, Lu Jiu's arrow had already been shot out.
With a "boom", the arrow pierced the air and pierced into the snow-covered grass.
A wild deer's scream came out, and Lu Jiu took another arrow and jumped to the edge of the grass at once.
He crouched down, stretched out his hand, and came out with a wild deer that he had shot in the neck.
The size of the wild deer was not small, but it was easily picked up by Lu Jiu.
The wild deer is still struggling, but it is completely the last struggle before dying, and it is impossible to return to the sky.
"Oh my God, Ah Jiu, you actually shot the deer, you are too powerful!" Xia Qiqi shouted excitedly.
Hearing Xia Qiqi's praise, Lu Jiu had a smug look on his face.
He now likes the bow and arrow in his hand, which is lethal and can deal with a prey in one fell swoop.
Lu Jiu pulled out the arrow from the wild deer's neck, and the deer's blood spilled all over him.
He frowned, wiped the snow on his clothes, as if trying to scrub the blood away.
"I'll go back and wash you with grass and wood ashes, don't wipe the bloodstains, you can't wipe it clean!" Xia Qiqi Dao.
Lu Jiu didn't wipe the blood stains anymore, he threw the prey to Xia Qiqi, and Xia Qiqi made a difficulty.
This is just the beginning, and I have hit such a big prey, so what should I do next?
You can't carry this wild deer to hunt, can you?
What if you run into another beast?
But she didn't carry it, and she was afraid that the prey she had worked so hard to get would be swallowed by other beasts.
"Ah Jiu, where are we going to put this thing? It's inconvenient to carry it for hunting, right? Xia Qiqi asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jiu walked to the wild deer, picked up the wild deer, and pointed in the direction to the right.
"You say, go over here?"
Lu Jiu nodded, looking very happy.
Xia Qiqi saw a sense of excitement in his eyes for a reunion after a long absence.
The place he was going to take himself to, the place he was familiar with?
His cave????
