In a blink of an eye, another month has passed, and winter is coming, even though the place where Liu Qing is now is on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and it is the seaside, although it will not freeze and frost everywhere like the northeast, but the temperature in winter is also very low, about zero to ten degrees. Liu Qing is wearing the army's spring and autumn uniform, which is not very thick, with his physical fitness, he can survive such a winter, if it is north of the Yangtze River, it is often minus ten degrees, then he may not be able to stand it.

Xiao Wu didn't feel anything, and his thick fur was enough to make it not feel cold in winter. The inside of the cave is still relatively warm, not only because there is a boulder at the entrance of the cave to block the cold wind, but also because there is a fire burning at the entrance of the cave, although there will be smoke, but the heat from the burning is also warm in the cave. The only thing that is more uncomfortable is to sleep at night, even if you spend more firewood and burn the fire vigorously, you will still feel cold. So every night, Liu Qing always feels tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep.

Moreover, Liu Qing knows very well that now is not the coldest time, in the past, there were 1929 no shots, 3949 walking on the ice, and 5969 watching the songs of willows along the river, and now it is estimated that it is only the time of 39.

I have been in the cave for nearly a month, and I have never gone out except to go out to get some ginger beans and fish. But Liu Qing suddenly had an idea now, because it was too uncomfortable to sleep at night, every time he slept, he always had to sleep with Xiao Wu in his arms, the little guy has now become a big tiger, the tiger body is tall and strong, plus the food is also good, he has never been hungry, and he looks stronger than his mother at the beginning.

When he was sleeping with Xiao Wu in his arms, Liu Qing remembered something that he regretted, he had killed a lot of coyotes at that time, but why didn't he think of leaving his fur? Look at it now, if so much fur is left, at least he can make a wolf skin coat or something, and cover it when he sleeps at night, how comfortable it must be!

So he now has another idea, to hunt coyotes again, and leave their fur behind to make a fur coat, which can be worn not only during the day, but also as a quilt cover at night. Liu Qing believes that his archery has improved, not to mention a hundred steps through Yang, but at least he can do it within 30 meters. Of course, he can't hit the bull's-eye every time, but every arrow can hit the target, which is one of the reasons why he has the confidence to hunt coyotes.

In addition, during this time, Liu Qing also learned about the habits of the animals here. This is very necessary, an old hunter, must know the life habits of the target well, otherwise he will not even find their shadow, and hunt for wool.

According to Liu Qing's observations, coyotes always act at night, and they should hide somewhere to rest during the day, but sometimes they have seen coyotes that come out to hunt during the day, but they have only seen three times in such a long time. He had seen coyotes hunt at night, mostly small herbivores, mostly weevil-nosed pigs. There are indeed a lot of weevil-nosed pigs here, and most of the weevil-trunked pigs are in groups of about a dozen, and it is estimated that they live in small families.

Weevil-nosed pigs generally eat during the day and rest at night, while coyotes have better night-time vision than weevil-nosed pigs, so it will be easier to hunt at night. Of course, these are Liu Qing's inferences, and with his modern thinking mode, it is easy to summarize these laws.

But if you want to hunt coyotes, it will definitely take a lot of work. Just like waiting for a rabbit, hunting takes luck, and even if you know the habits of these animals, you may not be able to meet them when you need them.

But now, Liu Qing has a more favorable condition, and the animals all need to drink water. Liu Qing didn't know where the animals used to drink water, but since he built a small puddle outside the cave, a small stream had formed here, and many times, the animals would drink from the stream outside his cave.

During the day, they are mostly herbivores, and he has even seen several velociraptors drinking in small puddles in the cave. There was a big puddle in the ravecosaur's lair, and he knew that he drank water here, and he should have seen water when he was chasing prey, so he leaned down and took a few sips. There are more animals that come here to drink water at night, not only herbivores, but also carnivores, in addition to coyotes, there are other carnivores.

Liu Qing has seen seven or eight of them much smaller than Xiao Wu, but their appearance is somewhat similar, with the help of the moonlight, it can be seen that the color of their fur is definitely different from Xiao Wu, but they also have a pair of long fangs, extending from the roof of the mouth. During the day, as long as he didn't go out or rested in the cave, Xiao Wu would generally guard his puddle and not let the animals get close, but at night Xiao Wu had to sleep, and there were more animals coming to the puddle to drink water than during the day.

Liu Qing also happened to take this opportunity to observe many animals. Of course, this kind of observation is not every night, it needs to be done in excellent moonlight conditions, you know, sometimes on a bright moon night, you can even walk on the road and see a small pebble on the ground.

The reason why he targeted coyotes was also because Liu Qing had slaughtered coyotes and knew that their fur was extremely soft, and their size was not small, with two or three heads, which was enough to make a fur coat for himself. Now, everything is in place, and only the coyote is owed.

Originally, Liu Qing tried to think that with the help of the power of the vine (this is also the name that Liu Qing gave to the kind of poison ivy that can cause people to coma), it would save time and effort to make those coyotes unconscious, but he tested that this kind of vine can only be effective with the smoke from the burning, and it has no effect to eat the scraped powder directly into the stomach. Another night, when he thought of using the vine, he took advantage of the fact that several animals were drinking water, and made a smoke jar from the gap above the cave to the waterhole, but the animals immediately scattered and fled when they heard the movement, and did not return when the smoke jar was burned. Therefore, Liu Qing could only use weapons this time to hunt coyotes with his own skills.

In order to hunt and kill coyotes, Liu Qing can be regarded as having invested a lot of money, first roasted a few ginger beans during the day and put them in the forest near the puddle as bait. He and Xiao Wu hid behind a low bush, and when a few weevil-trunked pigs came to eat, before Liu Qing could release the arrow, Xiao Wu had already flown out of the arrow and directly knocked down one. The other weevil-nosed pigs saw that one of their companions had already suffered, and they ignored it, and grabbed ginger beans in their mouths and left.

Liu Qing and Xiao Wu took the elephant-trunked pig back to the cave, washed and peeled it, roasted it into jerky and hung it up, leaving only a piece of pig skin, some white flowers and fat lard and a pork leg. In the evening of the same day, Xiao Wu had already fallen asleep first, and Liu Qing threw these things to the edge of the puddle, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Waiting until late at night, Liu Qing couldn't count how many yawns he had, but there was no movement. In the end, Liu Qing fell asleep unconsciously, maybe he was guarding the entrance of the cave, relatively close to the fire, and he didn't feel too cold, and when he woke up, the moon was still hanging high in the sky, but the bait by the puddle was gone! Only a bloody pigskin remained, and Liu Qing sighed when he saw it, he really shouldn't have fallen asleep! The great opportunity was lost.

The weather was bad on the second night, and the moon was faint and faint, and it was impossible to see anything at all, except for a small patch of bright water in the puddle, which reflected the moon's brilliance from time to time.

After waiting for another day, the moonlight was very good, Liu Qing had already slept for a while during the day, and he had saved up enough energy, and the bow and arrows were also copied in his hands, and dozens of arrows were all coated with venom. The pistol is also carried with you and can be used at any time in case of emergency.

First of all, Liu Qing used a pistol to fight with the coyotes, not to mention anything else, as long as they did not hit the vital point, the coyotes' combat effectiveness would hardly be greatly affected, and once they attacked them in groups, this fence gate would not be able to bear them at all; moreover, the number of pistol bullets was limited, and he originally had nearly 200 rounds of ammunition, but now there were only a little more than 100 left, and he had no renewable resources left, and he had to use them to save his life at the right time;

The bow and arrow is different, the number of arrows can be said to be almost unlimited, even if there is no natural thorn as an arrow, he can also use branches and the like to make it;

It was late at night again, and Xiao Wu actually snored while sleeping, which was not only like a drunk's dream, but also similar to the comfortable snoring of a cat, which made Liu Qing laugh. This time, instead of using pork as bait, he threw the dried and bloodstained pigskin outside, containing a finely chopped fish. He believed that these animals should not have much resistance to the smell of blood.

Yawned, and leaned down on the fence gate again to look, and a few shadows were approaching not far away, and the target was not the puddle, but the bait he had dropped there. At the same time, Liu Qing was pleasantly surprised, but also a lot more sober, and immediately stood on the stone pile, and his upper body came out from between the boulder and the gap in the cave. The longbow and about twenty arrows were placed on the boulder.

When these animals approached the bait, Liu Qing saw clearly that it was not a coyote, but another animal. One was an animal similar to Xiao Wu, and a few were different, and by the moonlight, they actually had six legs.

Liu Qing didn't care what it was, he directly set up a bow and released arrows, and the first arrow flew out with a "whoosh". The distance was less than twenty meters, and in the moonlight, this arrow steadily plunged into the abdomen of the animal that resembled Xiao Wu. As soon as it was attacked, it jumped to its heights in pain, and then began to run wildly to escape. At the same time, several other six-legged animals seemed to be frightened and turned to flee.

The prey that is so easy to wait for, how could Liu Qing let them run away like this, quickly picked up a long thorn, pulled the bowstring, and shot an arrow again with a "whoosh".
