Chapter 204: Hunting Wild Boars
The two walked through the dense woods, leaving two footprints one large and one small on the inaccessible road.
Shen Yichen used a mountain opener to open the way in front, and along the way, Chen Yuanyuan saw that some recognized wild plants were also uprooted, and even some stones were not spared, and they were all received in the space.
After walking for a while, the two sat down to drink water while hitting stones.
"What are you doing collecting stones?" Shen Yichen asked.
"Grandma He said that she wanted to pickle some kimchi, and asked me to find some stones to press the jar for him." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"I'll get more rocks on the other side of the creek later, and I'll get it then." Shen Yichen said.
Chen Yuanyuan's hand took off his gloves all the time in order to touch the stone, and his fingers were frozen red, Shen Yichen took Chen Yuanyuan's hand and put it in his clothes in distress.
"Oh? Have you been here? Chen Yuanyuan didn't refuse Shen Yichen's intimate movements, and his hands were frozen numb, so he didn't pay attention to it.
"I went to the institute before and came back early, and I went here to explore the road once, and there was a place where there were traces of animals, to see if I could touch them today." Shen Yichen said.
So the two got up and went on, and in less than five minutes, they passed a small stream with a frozen surface.
Chen Yuanyuan squatted by the stream to observe, but unfortunately there were only a few small fry as big as a tail finger under the ice surface of the stream, which was not enough to stuff his teeth, so he didn't bother to fish.
Fortunately, there are really a lot of stones of different sizes by the stream, and the stones by the stream are cleaner and smoother than those on the mountain road, so Chen Yuanyuan packed a lot of stones into the space.
Seeing that the harvest was almost done, he motioned to Shen Yichen to continue on the road, and after the two walked for about five or six minutes, they came to a dense grassy forest, Shen Yichen suddenly lightened his steps and waved his hand to signal Chen Yuanyuan to stop.
Chen Yuanyuan looked ahead and saw a wild boar in the distance picking up the snow and eating wild fruits, it seemed that Shen Yichen had found the target.
Shen Yichen bowed down and picked up the compound crossbow on his back, and Chen Yuanyuan also held his breath and looked nervously.
Seeing that the wild boar was arching the snow with his head down, Shen Yichen immediately seized the opportunity, only to hear the sound of electricity, and a steel arrow accurately hit the wild boar's neck.
The frightened wild boar immediately ran wildly, Shen Yichen and Chen Yuanyuan immediately caught up with the arrows when they saw this, and after Shen Yichen made up another arrow and hit the hind leg of the wild boar, the crazy wild boar slowed down.
After shortening the distance with the wild boar, Shen Yichen stepped forward to control the wild boar, and stabbed him in the artery, and suddenly the wild boar's blood sprayed wildly.
The stimulated wild boar was infinitely powerful, and it swung wildly to shake off Shen Yichen on his body, Chen Yuanyuan immediately stepped forward to touch it, and Shen Yichen immediately fell to the snow.
"Well, he's going to die a happy death." Chen Yuanyuan saw that Shen Yichen was covered in snowflakes, and said embarrassedly.
"It's good," Shen Yichen said as he wiped the ice slag on his face.
Moving the boar out of the space again, the original dragon and tiger were already dead, and the warm blood slowly flowed on the snow-white ground.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't want to waste it, so he took a large plate to connect the blood of the wild boar, and then slowly waited for the blood to run out.
"You're shooting your crossbow arrows pretty accurately." Chen Yuanyuan praised.
"Come on, they guess they're still busy, I'll teach you archery here." Shen Yichen saw that it was still early, so he found a tree and drew a circle, and taught Chen Yuanyuan the compound crossbow technique by hand.
Although the composite crossbow is not as lethal as a gun, it is better to shoot silently when fired, which can not only stealthily kill the target, but also avoid detonating nearby explosives.
Unlike bows and arrows, the compound crossbow does not need to be aimed at the same time as the string is drawn, so it is equipped with a collimator. The only drawback is that it takes longer to reload, making it unsuitable for use in barges.
Shen Yichen knew that Chen Yuanyuan had shooting experience, and after briefly teaching some tips and tricks, he let her practice.
Chen Yuanyuan's first shot was able to hit the tree pole fifteen meters away, which was only a few centimeters away from the circle drawn by Shen Yichen.
"You're very talented at shooting, so you can spend more time studying this." Shen Yichen gave an affirmation.
"I feel that this is easier to aim than a pistol, but it is too big to carry." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"It's not a big problem for you." Shen Yichen said with a smile.
After practicing for half an hour, Chen Yuanyuan was already able to easily hit the middle circle from 20 meters away.
It's a pity that there was a lot of movement when he was hunting wild boars, and the nearby animals were already frightened, so Chen Yuanyuan had to try to shoot the moving creatures next time.
Seeing that the boar's blood was almost flowing and the carcass was gradually hardening, Chen Yuanyuan received a plate full of pig blood into the space, and then tied the boar's feet with ropes.
Shen Yichen also cut a stick nearby, tied the wild boar to the stick and carried it away, and Chen Yuanyuan took the stick and the pig back into the space.
The two of them went down the hill along the way they came, and the way to get rid of the weeds was easier than when they came, and in about ten minutes they saw in the distance the grove that they had just separated.
When Chen Yuanyuan saw that he was about to return to the brigade, he was no longer lazy, moved the wild boar out of the space, and the two of them carried it down one after the other.
"We're back!" Chen Yuanyuan shouted.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Seeing this, Liu Feiyang put down the axe in his hand and stepped forward to help carry the wild boar down.
"Wow, you pigs have also been hunted, it's amazing!" Ding Xiangwen exclaimed.
"Good luck, what about Chu Man and Linlin?" Chen Yuanyuan only saw Liu Feiyang and Ding Xiangwen, and didn't know where the two had gone.
"They found a large piece of wild vegetables under the snow over there, and Chu Man said that they could eat it, so they went to pick it, and they all went on a second trip." Ding Xiangwen pointed to the side and said.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the wild vegetables on the ground, the upper edge of the oval leaf was jagged, as if He Yuehua had also shown Chen Yuanyuan one of them yesterday.
Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen helped tie up the chopped firewood, and then waited for Zhang Linlin and Chu Man to come back, and Chu Man happily introduced the wild vegetables on the ground.
"These wild vegetables are called Fei vegetables, but they are not wasted at all, although the taste is slightly bitter, but they are good for the heart." Chu Man said that he began to pick wild vegetables.
"It's okay to eat it, and it doesn't matter if it's good or not!" Ding Xiangwen said that he also stepped forward to help.
"Aren't you growing a lot of fruits and vegetables at home?" Zhang Linlin remembers that when she went to see Tangtang, she also saw that a lot of vegetables were planted.
"Alas, we didn't expect the weather to be like this," Ding Xiangwen sighed.
Although Ding Xiangwen still has a lot of canned food and rice noodles at home, the sugar candy is still small, so he needs to eat more vegetables.
However, a lot of vegetables grown at home froze to death when the extreme cold first arrived, and the newly sown ones were also very low in yield due to the severe cold weather, and there was still a lack of many vegetables at home for a while.
"Although my family has moved the vegetables indoors in advance, the condition of the seedlings is getting worse and worse, and now in order to feed those vegetables, there is not enough firewood every day." Chu Man sighed and said.
Now in the extreme cold, the outdoor temperature has reached minus 40 degrees at night, and even if the firewood is burned indoors, most people's homes can only maintain it at about minus 15 degrees, and growing vegetables is indeed a problem.
Chen Yuanyuan saw that the two of them were sad, and decided to help them a little.
Pigs and pigs are so cute, they must be made with red braised meat, pig's trotters, and sweet and sour pork ribs
