Chapter 169: Outsiders Enter the Mountain

In the next few days, Gao Mingcheng went into the mountains to shake honey while inspecting his hunting grounds.

It is said that it is a hunting ground, but the frequency of hunting is not high, basically only cares about his own food, and rarely sells it for money, what he wants to take is the route of sustainable development.

The interweaving of fates is sometimes very strange, he had just brought back twenty throwing knives from the blacksmith Lao Li the day before, only to find movement in the mountains the next day!

There happened to be a light rain that night, and the ground was a little wet the next day, but Gao Mingcheng went into the mountains to inspect as usual, and what he valued most was the mountain range where he hunted bears.

The cub fled, but probably not far, for it was still too small to be in the mountains unless it was attacked by other predators.

Gao Mingcheng stared at the shoe prints left on a piece of grass, and his face sank.

He stood on a high place, looked left and right, and judged that the outsiders must have entered the mountain range from the side of the village of Kengli.

There have been no people in Gaojia Village recently, and he will not let people enter the mountain if he is guarding the foot of Niuweiling.

This mountain range stretches continuously, with peaks and peaks, one after another, among which there are mountain springs, water ditches, and depressions, and there are rich and colorful species.

But this mountain range covers a wide area, but there are countless entrances to the mountain, and almost all the villages on their side are located at the foot of the mountain, and if you enter the mountain from any village, as long as you keep walking towards the deep mountain, you will eventually come to this mountain range.

Gao Mingcheng's biggest advantage over others is that he has good physical fitness, he runs fast, he can go to the mountains every day to play a round trip, while ordinary people may take two days to be able to enter the mountains from the foot of the mountain.

In addition to the footprints on the grass, there were two biscuit bags discarded here, and it was clear that the gang had stopped here for a moment and had eaten the biscuits.

Since discovering the traces of outsiders, Gao Mingcheng has begun to hide his whereabouts and no longer wanders in the mountains and forests openly.

He followed the footprints and traced all the way.

After walking for nearly half an hour, he found the group again, hiding behind a low bush and peering out at the people in the woodland ahead.

There were three men and a hunting dog, and two of them were older with two shotguns, the kind of shotguns that were used with gunpowder and iron and steel balls, and were much more lethal than lead bullets.

Not to mention hunting, even people can be killed.

In addition to the two shotguns, one of them also had a pistol pinned to his waist, which Gao Mingcheng carefully identified and recognized as a revolver.

The revolver has the advantages of low failure rate, fast shooting, simple and easy operation and low accidental injury rate, but at the same time it also has disadvantages, that is, less ammunition, short range and low lethality.

But for rookie gunners, revolvers have another advantage, that is, they can get started quickly, and they can use revolvers well with just a few days of training.

The three men were all carrying backpacks and walking in order, all looking left and right, as if looking for something.

At this time, the young man wearing a revolver who walked in the middle said, "Uncle Ma, have you found any traces of the black bear?" It's been the third day we've been in the mountains, and we haven't seen a single bear hair! ”

There was a hint of complaint in his tone, but the other two men with shotguns were not angry about it, which clearly showed that his status was higher than that of the other two.

Those two were brothers, and their ancestors were hunters, and when they arrived, they also lived by hunting, but they also hunted wild boars, yellow muntjacs, hares, pheasants, etc., after all, there were no other large beasts in the mountains on their side.

As for the black bear, as early as more than ten years ago, they teamed up with others and hit one.

Only later, there was almost no trace of the black bear, and this time, someone still found the two brothers and asked them to accompany a person into the mountains to hunt bears.

The two thought it was a joke, they hadn't seen a black bear in almost 20 years, and now they went into the mountains to hunt bears? But soon, they learned that someone had hunted a black bear in the mountains and sold it in the county!

And there promised that as long as the Ma brothers take people into the mountains to hunt bears, then whether they hunt or not, they will give the Ma brothers a hard fee, and if they hunt, then they can also buy black bears from the Ma brothers.

As soon as they heard this, the Ma brothers agreed.

It's a job, a thing to make two bucks, and who wouldn't be happy?

"Mr. Luo, don't worry, the number of black bears on our side is already small, and it is normal that they are difficult to find, if you really don't find the black bears, how about our brothers take you to hunt wild boars and yellow muntjacs?" The eldest of the Ma brothers said, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

However, the arrogant Mr. Luo was not satisfied, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "What's the point of fighting wild boars? I'm going to fight the bears! ”

"Okay, bear fighting! The people on Mr. Luo's side said that the black bear should have been caught in this mountain range, so we should be patient and continue to look for it. Hunting in the mountains takes a lot of time and effort compared to hunting in the feedlots. ”

The Ma brothers persuaded a few words, and then continued to actively search for the traces left by the black bear.

Black bears are a species that sleeps during the day and moves at night, so whenever they see a cave or tree hole, they have to go in and have a look.

Suddenly, as if they had discovered something, they sniffed all the way, barked and ran to a cave, barking at the cave.

The two Ma brothers immediately went into the cave, which was empty, but there were lying marks on the ground and some feces.

"Mr. Luo, come and see! Black bears have stayed in this cave! You see, this piece of was left by a black bear! But it looks like it's been at least a month. ”

"The cave has been abandoned, but the bear is definitely still in the mountains!"

"There are black bears in this mountain!" Finally there was progress, and Mr. Luo was instantly happy.

He urged, "Great, then let's go find the black bear!" ”

This small discovery made all three of them ecstatic.

Gao Mingcheng, who was following behind, frowned tightly when he saw this, he knew that it was time for him to make a move!

Is it ruthless, or is it merciful?

Gao Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, and a fierce color gradually appeared in his eyes.

He hid in the shadows, holding a knife in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the hat on Mr. Luo's head.

It was an army green cap, which could play a role in shading the sun and protect the eyes from strong sunlight outdoors, and at this moment, this hat was Gao Mingcheng's goal!

He has practiced javelin, bird guns, and knives before, and he already has a certain grasp of the head.

His wrist was secretly lucky, looking for an opportunity to make a move.

Suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, the knife in his hand came out of his hand and shot forward, making a subtle sound of breaking through the air.
