Chapter 30: The Gunshot That I Didn't Hear for a Long Time

On this day, I don't know which evil sect I bumped into, a weasel suddenly broke into the rabbit hill, and the small courtyard of the Liu family, which was originally clear and quiet, was disturbed early in the morning. The two young couples www.biquge.info watched a bait chicken being bitten to death by a weasel, and they were both confused. Liu Zixuan has lived in the post for more than 20 years, and has never seen this kind of scene, he was angry for a while, he picked up his shotgun and aimed at the weasel who fled to the gate of the courtyard. Where do the people under the extreme care of the old customs? Liu Zixuan only waved his hand, and pushed away Gu Nanyan, who was stopping him from shooting.

At this time, the weasel parked at the gate of the courtyard seemed to see the disadvantage of the situation from the dispute between the two people, so he was ready to abandon his prey and flee the scene, but at the moment when it bowed up and was about to jump and run away, it heard the last note left by the world.

With a crisp gunshot, I saw the weasel roll and fly out of the courtyard gate. After a lapse of three years, the sound of gunfire once again resounded through the mountains and forests, only to see a pheasant startled in the grass south of the rabbit gang, and flew away in a panic.

Seeing that the target hit, Liu Zixuan immediately lifted his feet and ran out of the yard and ran towards the weasel who was shot, only to see that the chicken thief was already lying in a small pool of blood on the southern slope of Gangzi, his limbs were still twitching, his eyes were no longer so round, and the hunting bullet pierced its slender abdomen without any difference, leaving a bloody hole in its body...... This life that offended the hunter's territory clearly underestimated the danger of humanity, although it succeeded in biting a bait chicken to death, and in the end it also cost its own life.

It's time to kill a weasel or two, they haven't heard a shot in more than three years, they've all fattened their gall, and if they don't give them a little more power, they should run to the rabbit hill and pee! In addition to the weasel, the other beasts in the forest, big and small, are not good either, especially the white-eyed wolf who holds grudges and does not remember gratitude! Today's shot should be regarded as an example to the chickens and monkeys, and it can be regarded as a reminder to the beast!

Liu Zixuan looked at the weasel corpse, and at the same time thought hatefully in his heart, he held a breath in his stomach for a long time, and finally vomited half of it today. But what he never expected was that he actually killed a yellow skin with a shotgun, which was too ridiculous to think about. He had never heard of such a thing as killing a weasel with a shotgun, not even his father had ever done it for many years of dealing with a weasel.

To put it in detail, there are roughly three reasons why hunters don't use shotguns to shoot weasels, one is because weasels are slender and have small targets, which are difficult to hit with shotguns; secondly, because there are many more effective conventional means of hunting weasels without the use of hunting rifles; In addition, bullets can hurt the fur, and even if a weasel is killed, it will not be worth the loss...... But on this day, Liu Zixuan hit the target with one shot in a hurry, and even he didn't expect that the first shot fired in his life was actually killed by a weasel.

Liu Zixuan turned the weasel over with the barrel of the gun, and the guy lay motionless on the ground, the bullet hole in his abdomen slowly turned purple-black, and the blood gradually stopped flowing. Although it has lost its life, the canine teeth in its mouth still convey unconquerable wildness......

Standing beside the weasel's corpse and looking at it for a long time, Liu Zixuan remembered Gu Nanyanlai behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that she was sitting on the ground in the courtyard, her face pale. In her opinion, Liu Zixuan's behavior was tantamount to violating the rules of heaven, she seemed to have a premonition that some kind of irresistible danger was about to befall them, and the panic in her dull eyes flowed out like the sky was falling.

Liu Zixuan helped Gu Nanyan to stand up, only to find that her hands were cold, and she was distressed for a while, so she couldn't help but hold her in her arms, and comforted her for a long time before finally hearing her cry. It wasn't until this moment that Liu Zixuan regretted that he was too reckless just now and shouldn't have shot in front of her......

When the sun rose, Gu Nanyan's mood eased slightly, and more than a dozen grass chickens also came back one after another to peck at them. It wasn't until wisps of cooking smoke wafted out of the stove room that the Liu family's courtyard on the rabbit hill returned to normal.

Just like the one he killed before, Liu Zixuan buried the last bait chicken in the grass east of Rabbit Gang. For a four-year-old pheasant, it was considered the end of its life, but while it was waiting for a natural death, it still could not escape the doom and was bitten alive by a weasel...... When burying the bait chicken, Liu Zixuan's heart had an indescribable sadness, how could he have expected that the two bait chickens that his father trained would both die in the weasel's mouth......

Buried the bait chicken, Liu Zixuan's attention shifted to the shotgun, just the first time he picked the trigger failed, this accident really annoyed him, if he encountered this situation when dealing with the lame wolf, the result would not be as simple as today, at that time not only will he miss the opportunity, but also put himself in a passive situation...... But after thinking about it, the hunting bullet jam is also expected, those bullets have been in the holster for three years, probably because the primer is damp, and a dumb fire is inevitable for a while, but fortunately, this time it is only a weasel that is aimed at, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for him.

Liu Zixuan was concentrating on the shotgun, but Gu Nanyan's voice came from outside the courtyard, I don't know what happened, he ran to the outside of the courtyard in a few steps, and was greeted by Gu Nanyan's face.

Without waiting for Liu Zixuan to speak, Gu Nanyan gasped and said, "Go and take a look, the vegetable garden ......"

"What's wrong with the vegetable garden?"

"See for yourself!"

The previous scene was seen again, and I saw that at the top of the fence wall on the south side of the vegetable garden, the heads of five or six animals were hung, including rats, snakes, and some unknown birds......

Such a despicable trick that only a weasel can do! Dig holes in hunters' graves and demonstrate with animal heads! The aggressive behavior is clearly a provocation to the residents on the rabbit hill! Removing the animal's head from the fence, Liu Zixuan's teeth squeaked: Let you be rampant for a while, the frost has been falling for a few days, and in more than half a month, as long as the light snow arrives, see how many days you animals can be arrogant!

……

All morning, Gu Nanyan was sullen and didn't speak, and she didn't pay attention to Liu Zixuan's fiddling with her shotgun and bullets, until the two of them sat at a table for lunch, and she said that she wanted to go back to Yanggongjing. Liu Zixuan expected that she was frightened, and before she came back to her senses for a while, she said, "I'll go back with you, just to see the two old people." ”

Gu Nanyan said: "No, I don't worry about no one at home, I'll be back soon." ”

After lunch, Gu Nanyan left the rabbit hill quietly. After Gu Nanyan left, Liu Zixuan had nothing to do at home alone, so he remembered the weasel corpse on the southern slope of Gangzi, he took out a boning knife from the east wing, came to the well, and polished it on the stone along the well.

This small and handy boning sharp knife, the knife body is no more than the length of the small arm, the handle of the knife is just held with one hand, when Zixuan's father was alive, I don't know how many prey was taken care of with it, whether it was a weasel or a hare, if you want to strip their fur, you can't do without this knife. At that time, Zixuan's father was cautious with a knife, in addition to frequent polishing, he also deliberately made a sleeve, so when Liu Zixuan saw this knife in those years, he always shiny with a cold light, but now things are not human, and a knife that has not been used for many years has already grown a layer of rust, and now if you want to use it to deal with animal fur, you must spend a lot of effort to polish.

Satisfied with the sharpening of the knife, Liu Zixuan began to dispose of the weasel corpse.

Cut off the four claws first, then pick the lip with the tip of the knife, pinch the cracked lip and tear it back vigorously until the fur on the head is completely separated from the flesh and bone to the neck, and then tie the peeled head with the prepared string, and tie the other end of the rope to the branch, so that the weasel corpse hangs in the air, and then you can peel its fur to the end like undressing. The process is no different from skinning a rabbit, Liu Zixuan has long been familiar with it, only to hear the sound of "Huo", the whole fur is separated, leaving only a vague body of flesh and blood, still hanging on the branch.

The meat of the weasel is a medicinal herb with a variety of effects, the Zhuang family often eats, as long as the stinky gland on its tail is removed, it is not only delicious after being braised, but also can strengthen the body, as the son of a ferret catcher, Liu Zixuan naturally has not eaten less. However, on this day he peeled the weasel fur, not to eat meat.

Filling the peeled yellow wolf skin with fine hay, Liu Zixuan selected a thin straight branch from the bushes on the west side of the yard that was twice as tall as himself, and then tied the round weasel skin to the top of the branch with a hemp rope, and finally went to the grass southeast of the rabbit gang to choose a conspicuous place and inserted the branch deeply.

At this time, looking forward from the rabbit hill, the weasel skin tube seen from a distance is like a banner of victory, swinging incessantly in the autumn wind. After doing all this, Liu Zixuan was secretly proud in his heart: Let's see what wild things dare to come to the post to commit murder in the future!
