Chapter 6: The First Hunt

Walking in the dense jungle, looking at the barely small road ahead, Wang Xiaohu followed closely behind his father, his eyes rolling from time to time, observing the surrounding environment.

"Xiaohu, this road is the road that the village has walked for decades, as long as you follow this path, you will basically not get lost in the jungle, but the trees and weeds in the mountains grow fast, if you don't walk for a while, it will soon be covered" The father Wang Daniu whispered to his son, and the other hunters in the same village were silent, looking around nervously. Although everyone has walked many times and the route is relatively safe, anything can happen in the jungle, and sometimes it can cost you your life if you are not careful.

"We are about an hour away from our destination, and we will encounter the traps that were laid out before on the way, so follow me closely, and I will tell you the location of those traps when the time comes," the father kept telling his son about the situation on the road in a low voice. Next, the first trap was quickly reached, and Wang Xiaohu looked at the trap.

"From the outside, you can only see that the weeds are relatively dense, and if you can't look closely, you will accidentally fall on the trap side," he thought to himself. When you get close to the grass outside, you can see that there is a deep pit, about the depth of an adult and a half, and it is covered with sharpened bamboo, and there are only a few branches on it, and it seems that there is no prey to take the bait, and it is obviously not very lucky.

"Dad, how did you dig this pit, who dug it, it's so big, it's still on the mountain" Wang Xiaohu was still surprised to dig such a big pit on the rocky mountain, after all, it was put in the previous life There were various tools, and it also took a lot of manpower and material resources.

"It's not our generation that dug it, it's the last few generations who dug it, maybe it started digging from the time the village was built, every time you dig a little bit, there will always be a good day" My father didn't know who dug it, but he knew that it was a little bit of a long time to dig such a big pit.

"That's it!" Wang Xiaohu's heart is heavier, and he has a clearer understanding of the productivity of ancient people, don't look at a slightly deeper trap pit, it may take a few years to dig it slowly, after all, every time he enters the mountain, it is not only for digging traps, but mainly for hunting, maybe he just laid a simple trap at the beginning, and slowly dug deep to improve.

"You see that there are some berries that wild beasts like to grow in the grass, and wild beasts often pass by here, but sometimes wild beasts are smarter than people," Wang Da Niu whispered to his son seeing that there was no trap without prey.

"Well, I just don't know what kind of fruit this is, can I eat it!" Looking at the fruit, Wang Xiaohu asked. "We all like to call it the little red fruit, and we can eat it, but it doesn't taste very good, but some beasts like to eat it." Wang Da Niu looked at the red berries in the grass and said to his son.

"Let's go, there's no harvest here, hurry up and go to the next place" Li Chun shouted to everyone to hurry up, strive to arrive at the destination as soon as possible, and take the lead to walk forward after speaking. Wang Xiaohu looked at the surrounding environment and the sky that had been completely lit up, did not speak, and followed his father closely in the middle of the team. In the next period, three more traps were encountered, and only one of them had a hare in it, and it seemed that this time it was not very lucky. About an hour or so later, the sun had completely risen, the whole jungle seemed to come alive, all kinds of birdsong filled the ears, and Wang Xiaohu's heart at this moment seemed to be relaxed, as if he had been in the forest in his previous life, so natural and harmonious.

"Xiaohu, it's about to get there, be careful, don't make a loud noise," Wang Daniu looked ahead and said to his son.

"Yes, okay!" Father's voice made Wang Xiaohu's relaxed mood become cautious again, watching everyone bow the arrow, he unconsciously let go of the hunting knife in his hand, took off the bow on his back, and took another arrow and put it on the bowstring. After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the front became obviously brighter, and as I walked forward with the others, I saw that there were no trees in front of me, and when I looked up, a lake came into view.

"It seems that this is the destination" Wang Xiaohu's face was calm, and he guessed in his heart.

"Xiaohu, this is Xiaoye Lake, let's stay here, when the animals come to drink water, if it is suitable, we will shoot arrows to kill, but remember not to get close to the lake" Wang Daniu whispered to his son beside him.

I saw that everyone was hiding in the bushes under the trees by the lake, silently waiting for the prey to come to the door.

"Little Tiger, relax, when you see the beasts, don't shoot arrows rashly, but watch our actions before moving, because some beasts can't be provoked" The father said to Wang Xiaohu again, and then everyone was completely silent, only the sound of birds in the forest, and the sound of unknown beasts coming from time to time in the forest.

"I can only silently wait for the prey to come to the door" Wang Xiaohu looked at his silent father and everyone thought in his heart, and at the same time his heart was also raised, holding the bow and arrow tightly with both hands, looking at the lake, silently waiting for the arrival of the prey. About half an hour or so, one after another some beasts came to drink water, Wang Xiaohu didn't know much, only knew a kind of beast like a rhinoceros, the size was relatively large, it was estimated that the bow and arrow in his hand may not be able to penetrate the surface of the skin. After a while, a group of deer slowly approached the lake to drink, and at this time, Wang Xiaohu saw Uncle Li Chun's hand raised, and then everyone became quieter, and at the same time, the bows and arrows in their hands were opened.

"Looks like the target is this herd of deer." Wang Xiaohu thought in his heart, and at the same time, his father also looked over and signaled with his eyes that he would shoot arrows later. After about a quarter of an hour, the group of deer also finished drinking water and prepared to leave, and after leaving the shore for a while, they only heard a "whoosh ......", and Uncle Li Chun took the lead in archery and attacked. "Whoosh, whoosh......" others also kept shooting, Wang Xiaohu took a deep breath, and then selected a deer that was relatively close to him and was about to run, and shot out the first real feather arrow in his life as an archer, only to see the feather arrow hit the neck of the deer, and then quickly changed the target and kept shooting the feather arrow, and after a while, the feather arrow in his hand was shot out, and the deer group basically ran out, leaving only some deer that had died after the arrow and were unable to run but were still struggling.

"Xiaohu, are you okay" Wang Daniu looked at his son, who was motionless after shooting the arrow, and asked with some concern, after all, it was the first time to hunt, and the scene was quite bloody.

"It's okay, it's a little uncomfortable the first time, it'll be fine after a while" Wang Xiaohu came over to react and said to his father, while looking at a few deer on the ground in front of him who were constantly struggling. Then my father and the others hurried forward, and at the same time drew the hunting knife from their waists, and killed the remaining deer that were still alive.

"Yo, it seems that Xiaohu's archery is still really good, I think half of these dozen deer were shot by Xiaohu." The second uncle, Wang Erniu, smiled at Xiaohu and said, it seems that Wang Erniu is also paying attention to his nephew while shooting arrows by himself.

"It's really fake, I just shot an arrow by myself, and I didn't pay attention to Xiaohu, but I shot a deer, look, it's the one on the ground" Uncle Wang Yong was a little incredulous, and at the same time pointed to a deer on the ground with a few arrows and said. After that, everyone talked about their shots, except for Li Chun who shot two and Zhao Xiaodao who didn't shoot, everyone else was one.

"In this way, in addition to Xiaohu, everyone shot a total of 8 by themselves, and a total of 14 deer on the ground, so if you calculate, Xiaohu alone shot 6" Li Chun briefly analyzed the situation, and everyone was surprised, after all, a child, it is shit luck to shoot one.

At this time, everyone's eyes were different when they looked at Wang Xiaohu, there were amazement, disbelief, shock, envy and jealousy hidden deep in their eyes.

"Da Niu, your baby is amazing, it seems that our village is also going to be a marksman, your family will be blessed in the future" Li Chun glanced at Wang Xiaohu deeply, and then said to Wang Da Niu, after all, the best archery skills in the village before should be regarded as himself, although he did not say it explicitly, but usually everyone faintly takes himself as the leader.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Xiaohu's archery skills to be so good, maybe it's the ancestral tomb that is smoking!" Wang Daniu smiled at everyone, his eyes full of pride.

"The tiger baby is amazing, he will definitely be able to create a career in the future, you have to treat us to a good meal," the others also said.

"Certainly, definitely......" For everyone's words, Wang Daniu agreed.

"Dad, what's the matter, I'm destined to be the number one person in the world, hey, it's not my fault that I'm excellent, it's the world that's wrong, who let the world give me such a good talent!" After a while, Wang Xiaohu, who reacted, raised his head and looked at the sky, and his face made a look that everyone in the world was drunk and I was awake, but it was daytime, the sky was dazzling sun, and his eyes were a little painful from the direct sunlight.

Everyone looked at Wang Xiaohu like this, they couldn't cry or laugh, the atmosphere eased up, and everyone kept laughing at Wang Xiaohu. Although everyone is talking, they are constantly handling the prey in their hands.
