Chapter 9: Crane Hunting

There is a mountain ten miles away from Loujia Village, the name is called Crane Ming Mountain, legend has it that there were immortals driving the white crane from the east in the past, seeing the warbler crying green and reflecting red here, then driving the crane to stay for a while, enjoying the green mountains and beautiful waters, since then, there are decades of absurd rumors that the Sanskrit sound fairy music is endless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Rumors are rumors, even the village chief Lou, who has lived here for 70 years, has never seen what the crane looks like, and has never heard the sound of the crane.

Erdan, this bad boy, heard the legend of this crane, so he has been going to drill into the crane song mountain, he doesn't care what kind of immortal or not, his mouth has been shouting to catch a crane to taste what it is like. In his well-known words: The crane must be more than 100 catties, big, forbidden to eat!

Heming Mountain is located in the depths of the mountain, there are no residents nearby, I heard the villagers say that the situation in the mountain is complicated, there are often fierce beasts infested, even experienced hunters do not dare to enter the Heming Mountain easily.

Da Chun felt that there was a lot of danger in Heming Mountain at first, and he was still a little worried. But seeing that Erdan is so energetic, he can't bear to go against his temperament. Coupled with the strength of his "Ruoxi Realm", he has been called by Master E as "you can walk sideways empty-handed in the mountains", so he picked up the big knife and followed behind with a bow and arrow on his back.

This big knife was bought for him by Master E last year, and it is much stronger than the previous Yanling knife, although there are a few gaps, but it is not as rusty as the previous one.

In addition to the big knife, the old man also got him a bow according to his request.

The three-foot bow body is made of wood, the bow horn is made of green horns, and the bowstring is made of horse tendons. The arrows were made by the old man himself, he cut the wood into shape, made some mountain feathers as arrow feathers, and stole some pieces of iron from the blacksmith in the east of the village to attach to the arrows.

Niuniu didn't have to deliberately greet her, Erdan just dangled in front of her twice with a dried sweet potato, and the greedy little girl put down the laundry in her hand and followed her.

After listening to the description of the big crane, the girl's saliva flowed down directly, although the roasted crane was described as very tempting, but this just out of thin air is not hungry, so the beautiful girl Tan shouted "Brother Xianggong" from time to time, to exchange for a sweet dried sweet potato, first to relieve the hunger.

The sun is rising, the fresh air brought by the plants and trees makes people happy, some birds and beasts have begun to come alive, and the depths of the mountains are full of hundreds of chirps and thousands of sounds.

The early spring season still carries some cold in winter, but Erdan wears a single coat, and the cuffs are pulled up to his forearm, and he doesn't care about the low temperature. Ever since he was struck by thunder, he only wore sackcloth and robes all year round, saving a lot of money to buy clothes.

"The breeze is blowing, and my heart is cold. I boiled two eggs and found that I could eat them. ”

Erdan hummed indiscriminately in Shu tune.

Don't look at this thing, but the language talent is extremely high, whether it is the official dialect of the words or the slang of Shudi, they all believe it, compared to the old man and the local villagers, they all speak with taste.

When he arrived at the boundary of Heming Mountain, Erdan no longer hummed blindly, his waist was slightly bowed, his steps were light, he was holding a pitch-black slingshot in his hand, his eyes were smart, and he walked in front of the probe and brain, and drilled into the dense woods.

"Brother Xianggong, dried sweet potato. ”

Niu Niu breaks the silence.

Erdan turned around, touched the cowhide bag that was about to dry up, and frowned: "I said can you eat slowly, this is not yet the place, such a big bag is almost eaten by you." ”

Niuniu said aggrievedly: "Isn't there a crane to eat at that time!"

Erdan pouted.

My little daughter-in-law is good everywhere, but she can eat too much, and her stomach is like a bottomless pit, as long as it is delicious, no matter how much it is, everyone who comes will not refuse. This kind of 'belly' is not much worse than the prime minister described by Master Du.

Niuniu put the dried sweet potato in her mouth and chewed it slowly, while asking, "Brother Xianggong, what do you say that crane tastes like, should we eat it boiled or roasted?" ”

Erdan touched his smooth chin: "Cook and eat, if you bake it, it's not very cooked." ”

"Oh, Brother Xianggong, I heard that the crane is the mount of the immortals, let's eat it, those immortals won't trouble us. ”

Erdan smiled evilly: "If I hadn't heard that it was the mount of an immortal, the master wouldn't have eaten him." ”

The reason for this crane is known only to him.

Because he saw that Master Du was very sick and often coughed up blood, he was extremely worried. I heard that this crane meat is stained with fairy qi and can cure all kinds of diseases, but in fact, he wants to get it back to treat the old man's stubborn diseases, but he has never mentioned this to anyone, and he feels hypocritical and can't say it.

After hunting in the mountains for half an hour, I didn't see any big prey, all small things like sparrows and frogs, and the three big-bellied foodies couldn't look down on these foods that were not enough to stuff their teeth.

Due to the emptiness of the abdomen, coupled with the lack of walking, the strength of the two eggs to find the crane is also a little smaller, and the walking has become listless, and I am wondering whether to go back and use the magic to get a few fish to eat, and suddenly find a fat colorful brocade chicken in front of me!

The brocade pheasant stopped on the treetops, looking seven or eight pounds, and was singing for a long time, and its gorgeous feathers were very ostentatious.

The bad boy stretched out his index finger to his mouth, and silenced the two behind him, Da Chun and Niu Niu nodded in understanding, and the three slowly approached the prey.

When he was five or six feet away, he pointed at the bow on Dachun's back, and made an arrow gesture at the pheasant.

The big boy patted his chest and motioned for him to be wrapped around him, and then stretched his bow and put his arm lightly on the arrow ape, only to hear a 'whoosh', and the arrow cluster was stuck into the tree a few feet away from the pheasant, and missed.

Da Chun was slightly angry.

Keep shooting again.

He took the arrows in his hand and kept shooting, but each arrow was full of strength when it came out of the bow, and when it flew halfway, it fell crookedly. The pheasant didn't even move his buttocks, he still stayed there, and the loud rooster crowing in his mouth seemed to be laughing at someone's rotten archery.

Da Chun's face turned flushed, and his heart was furious.

He came out with a total of twenty arrows, the first nineteen missed, and only one was left in his hand.

In fact, this can't be blamed on him, but it can only be said that the work in the hands of the old man is really rough, and this technical work of making a bow is too difficult for him, a layman. The old man built it according to the appearance of a hunting bow, and it can only be said that he can see it, and the accuracy of this arrow is hehe.

The young man suppressed the anger in his heart, held his breath, and pulled the string again with all his strength, and the bow was pulled by his divine power into a full moon shape, and I am afraid that no matter how strong the bow is, the bow body will break.

Finger jerk!

I could only hear the sound of breaking the sky, and the arrow from the string flew past like lightning, and the colorful brocade chicken was planted in response.

Dachun is overjoyed!

Hurriedly ran forward to check, but found no signs of the chicken being shot by an arrow, but there was a round hole in the abdomen, and it was bleeding.

The big boy seemed to understand, turned his head to look at Erdan, and saw that the kid was holding the slingshot in his hand, with a smug smile on his face.

After Erdan was asked by Master E to practice martial arts, he refused to put in half of his efforts, either reading some wild history essays every day, and then learning to hunt behind Lou Xiucai. Because he was small and weak, he couldn't pull a heavy hunting bow, so he asked Lou Xiucai to make him a more labor-saving slingshot.

However, this product can also be called a genius, it only took half a year of hard work, and the slingshot in this hand practiced 100 shots without missing a shot, and became the holy hand of bird slaughter in the village.

The three foodies left the crane hunt behind, and it didn't take long for the hard-won pheasant to be picked up. Erdan also took out a few bottles and cans, and kept smearing the golden chicken on the fire, and as it continued to roll, the aroma filled the forest.

Da Chun first divided the two chicken legs to the drooling Niu Niu next to her, and then pulled the chicken wings off to the meritorious second egg, and he just pulled the chicken neck and gnawed it.

"Little daughter-in-law, do you know? That crane is so big, there must be dozens of them!" Erdan spread his arms as he ate, describing how amazing what he was looking for.

Although the little girl has eaten a lot, she is still a little far from being full, staring at her brother-in-law's hand, and her eyes are full of salivation.

In less than a stick of incense, the fat food has been divided, and after the second egg has something in his belly, he has more energy, and pulls Dachun and Niuniu into the depths of the woods.

As he went deeper and deeper into the belly of the mountain, Da Chun's hand holding the big knife also tightened, he knew that this mountain was full of dangers, maybe he would encounter some wild beasts, so he could only get closer to the bad boy in front of him, just in case.

"Looks like there's something over there!"

Although Niuniu stuffed dried sweet potatoes in her mouth, she didn't forget the purpose of this trip, and when she saw that the grass behind a big tree seemed to be shaking, she quickly pointed it out to her father-in-law's brother.

Erdan raised his eyebrows and hurriedly ran over with small steps.

When I opened the grass, it turned out to be a wild boar of about 200 catties.

Its body was covered in blood, its stomach was cut open as if it had been cut with a sharp weapon, and all its intestines and internal organs fell out and lay on the grass, and its limbs were still twitching.

Dachun, who often hunts in the forest, is shocked!

Such a big wild boar, not everything can be easily put down, wild boar skin and thick meat, usually love to roll in the mire, the body is as hard as pig iron, plus the natural strength is amazing, in this mountain is also a tyrant. Da Chun saw a few huge footprints next to him, and instantly came to his senses, and suddenly shouted: "Not good!"

A tall black shadow swooped down on the three of them.

Fishy wind!
