Chapter 10: The Tiger Hunt (I)

The rain fell intermittently for two days, and the weather cleared on the third day. Gou Xi said that he would not go into the mountains today www.biquge.info take a day off. Kumei was puzzled and asked why.

Gou Xi said: "It rained two days ago, the tiger did not necessarily go hunting, the weather is sunny and it went out to find prey, its range of activity is so large, it is unlikely to be able to step on the iron clamp, and the possibility of our harvest is very small." The iron clip is not a deadly thing, and even if you step on it, you can't die, so it doesn't matter if you go a day late. ”

On the day of departure, Gou Xi said to Kumei again: "You won't go into the mountain today!"

"Why?" Ku Mei was already ready to go into the mountain, and she was quite surprised by Gou Xi's temporary change of fortune.

"Anyway, it doesn't make much difference whether you go or not, so why should you take this unjust road. ”

"Do you think you're going to hit the air today?"

There are many taboos in the language of the people who enter the mountain, except that they cannot say some unlucky words. Kumei's words like "fluttering into the air" are also taboo. If these words came from Gou Lin's mouth, Gou Xi would definitely have to reprimand him. But he didn't blame the bitter sister, and the so-called ignorant is not to blame.

"No, my hunch is that there's a good chance I'll get you a brute today. Butβ€”it's hard to say, it's better that you don't go today anyway. ”

Ku Mei understood, he was mainly worried about entering the mountain today. Yes, they were dealing with a ferocious man-eating animal, but any experienced hunter would be in close combat with it. You should think twice before you act.

Thinking of this layer, Kumei was even more determined to go. Her idea is: as long as she is with them, Gou Xi will definitely have more scruples, less adventure, and more security.

Gou Xi has an almost innate habit: before every time he goes to bed, his mind is like a "rewind", recalling his experience of going into the mountains again and again. While chewing on the joy of hunting, I also re-examine what I gained, lost, gained, and mistaken in each hunt. Then let your mind wander proudly in the wilderness and dense forest, and fall asleep......

In the past few days, at night when he did not enter the mountains, Gou Xi's "rewind" before each bed was on top of the iron clips they had laid out. After thinking about it, he sorted out the process and details of their period over and over again, and was sure that there were no mistakes. Then the tiger should be trapped, so what will be the next result......

...... One of them is particularly deep in his memory, it is like an advertisement on TV screens, which is coldly inserted into his mind, and those images are so clear in his mind. He could even feel the tickling of the low-hanging green leaves on his face, and the sizzling sound of his shoes on the wet ground as he stepped on the seemingly dry dead leaves,...... Suddenly, there was a sound of panting breathing, followed by the sound of trees being violently bumped, and the sound of chains being torn wildly......

"Fight, fight!!, the tiger is running away!" he shouted, but did not shout. On the contrary, the tiger heard it, and he turned around and spoke to him in human words: "You are the ghost?! You hurt me, I ate you!" After speaking, he jumped and pounced on him......

He heard a "fight", the chain was torn off, and the tiger instantly pounced in front of him. He tried to run, but he couldn't move as if he had been struck by an evil spirit. Screamed and woke up...... It turned out to be a dream. After waking up, he was sweating profusely, and his heart was like fifteen buckets of water, and he couldn't calm down for a long time......

Gou Xi's hunches are sometimes very effective, and he is also very superstitious about his hunches. This terrible dream seemed to give him some kind of warning, and he couldn't help but be vigilant, which is why he didn't want to let Kumei go today. He's a hunter, he's brave enough to fight all the dangerous animals, even the Grim Reaper, but he can't keep his family and loved ones with him.

After they set off, they ran directly to the fishing spot in his dream. In fact, just like his dream, the iron clamp was indeed stepped on. There was no sign of the tiger, and from the ground that had been trampled all around, you could see what kind of struggle the beast had been doing at that time. It escaped by breaking the chain on the clip. The chain was fastened to the clip, and they hooked it to the arm-thick root. The iron rings are made of finger-thick iron rings, which are absolutely impossible to tear apart, and the result is incredible......

"It's a pity to let it escape!" said the bitter girl.

"It couldn't escape, it still had iron clips on its feet, and bee venom on them. It can't escape far, chase after it!" Gou Lin's eyes flashed with excitement. Seeing that Gou Xi was still squatting there silently, he seemed to be thinking. He shouted anxiously: "What are you still grinding about, if you don't chase it, you will run away!"

"Forget it today, let that beast live one more day, and chase it tomorrow!" Gou Xi said coldly.

"Damn! Did you take the wrong medicine, or did your brain get into the water?! If you don't chase it now, how far will it run when it runs for one more day?! How much effort do we have to take?!" Gou Lin, who had always been obedient to Gou Xi's words, was angry and anxious, and started a fire at Gou Xi.

"If we want to chase you, let's go back, bitter sister, go!" Gou Xi called bitter sister, turned around and left.

...... When they returned to rest on the hill behind the village, the sun was still half a day high. Gou Lin continued to nag and said: "Running for a day, I knew that it was better not to come, and I took this unjust road in vain." ”

Gou Lin is this kind of person, he doesn't stop nagging, and he is more feminine than a woman.

"Don't believe you if you say you don't have brains to do things. I ask you, did you find any flaws in the mountains today?!" Gou Xi said.

"What else can there be, I don't know what you think?" said Gou Lin angrily.

"You-" Gou Xi said, pointing his finger at him, "didn't you notice that there were two tigers at the scene?"

"Two tigers, how could it be?!!Are you guessing nonsense!" Gou Lin was shocked by his words.

"Have you noticed any difference in the footprints in the ground?"

"What's the difference, isn't it the same footprint?!" Gou Lin said: "You are this is you are pretending to be mysterious, nervous, a tiger has four legs, you dare to conclude that its four feet are the same, there is no difference?

"Do you think I'm going to be as stupid as you are, and I can't even tell the difference between the front foot and the back foot, the left foot and the right foot?!"

Gou continued: "The footprints looked exactly the same, but when I looked closely, I saw that there were two tiger footprints in the middle, which I compared to their front feet and their back feet. One of the tigers has slightly larger feet and one slightly smaller. I'm guessing they might be a pair of male and female tigers. The tiger caught in the iron clamp is big, I guess it's a male. ”

Seeing that Gou Lin was speechless, Gou Xi further said: "You said that we only have two guns and a woman with us, and we have to face two big tigers, are you completely sure." And there's one that we're not sure where it's hiding, where it's going to be, and when it's going to attack us. Since we are not sure of victory, we cannot afford to take this risk. ”

"Then what do you mean, what should we do?" Gou Lin usually admires Gou Xi, but now that he has explained things clearly, his tone has immediately become kind.

"We're going to get a few helpers tomorrow and a few guns, just in caseβ€”I estimate that the beast is at least seven or eight hundred pounds, and even if the three of us take it down, it will be difficult to get it back. There is also a need to inform Boss Yu to prepare to receive the goods, now that it is a hot day, it will be worthless if it deteriorates, and we will also think about it from their point of view. ”

The next day, they added four men, all of whom were young and strong. Two of them, hunters from neighboring villages and youths from their own villages, were led by hunting dogs and searched for the tigers......

In the middle of the day, they crossed a large mountain. I saw that there was an open gentle slope at my feet, and the slope was overgrown with arrows and bamboos, and it was lush and lush, and I couldn't see the edge.

A strong wind blew on the top of the mountain, and the arrow bamboo forest turned over the green waves in the restlessness. An ominous dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, moving a huge shadow over the arrow bamboo forest.

Gou Xi asked everyone to take a break, drank water, and ate dry food. Said to everyone: This beast actually ran into the arrow bamboo forest, the arrow bamboo forest is dense, this beast has an iron clip on his feet, and it is difficult to walk an inch, which is equivalent to killing himself. It's likely to be trapped in this bamboo forest.

However, the dense bamboo arrows will block the view, which will make it more difficult for us to find the prey, and it is extremely easy to be ambushed by the opponent. He told everyone to disperse. From it in front, Gou Lin in the back, the other two hunters were lined up on the left and right, and the bitter girl and the one without hunting dogs were sandwiched in the middle, and everyone was five or six meters apart, searching forward in a diamond-shaped procession. He also repeatedly instructed everyone to be careful to observe their surroundings, and only after making sure that there is no danger can they continue to move forward and beware of the attack of another tiger......

It is the treacherous and shrewd hounds that are commendable. Under the tutelage of their masters, they are well versed in cooperating. They crawled like snakes, silently leading the hunting party around. Sometimes, when their owners were too slow, they turned around, circled in front of their masters, wagged their tails, straightened up and grabbed at their masters, encouraging them to speed up. The signals left by the prey in front of them are too clear and strong to make them excited and excited......

"Click-" There was a sudden sound of bamboo breaking in front of me. This was followed by a low whine from the laryngeal cavity. A huge tiger figure gradually appeared in front of Gou Xi's eyes......
