002 Wolf Hunt
The small mountain village is located at the foot of the mountain, living by the river, and the river water at the edge of the village is clear, winding out of the mountain forest and straight into the distance.
Sun Heng stood by the river, looking at the reflection in the water in a daze.
In the past two years, his complexion has improved a lot, but he is still a yellow-skinned young man, covered with skin and bones, and only a pair of big eyes are still bright.
Dusty clothes, dry hair, and a look of serious malnutrition.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Not far away, Second Uncle Sun was polishing his hunting knife on the stone, as a thing to eat and watch the family, no one in the village did not cherish it.
In addition to a hunting knife, Sun Heng also had a spear, which was one of the few relics of his deceased parents.
There are no hunting bows, and there are only two hunting bows in the entire small mountain village, and they will never be borrowed.
The hunting knife is not long, only about two feet, and the handle has a delicate texture, and it is not easy to take off when held in the hand.
The spear is taller than Sun Heng, it should be around one meter six or seven, the spear head is a single diamond, the ridge is high, the blade is thin, and the tip is sharp, which is conducive to piercing.
The role of the red tassel is not just to look good, but to confuse the opponent, and it can also stop the blood from flowing to the barrel of the gun, causing the hand to slip.
In addition, there is a spear grip at the bottom of the barrel, with a little pointed tip, when facing large beasts, you can hold the gun against the ground, diagonally towards the opponent, and deal with their culling.
The barrel of the gun is a kind of Nanmu in the mouth of Uncle Sun, which is very strong and tough, and it will not break when bent into a bow, which is the best wood.
Second Uncle Sun, who was not far away, sharpened his knife and did not rush to get up, but knelt on his knees, touched the whetstone with his head, knelt there and muttered quietly, praying sincerely.
This is a tradition of the mountain people, and Sun Heng sometimes follows suit.
For them, the mountain people who make a living by hunting, every time they enter the mountain, they have a sense of awe and fear.
Prayer can serve as a psychological comfort and, to a certain extent, can also inspire the hunter to have a strong faith.
"That's it!"
After the second uncle Sun finished praying, he picked up the animal skin and wiped the blade of the knife, and stood up from the river: "Let's go!"
The mountain road is difficult, and the further you go, the more so.
But if you want to hunt your prey, you have to go deep into the mountains, set traps in that inaccessible place, and round up your prey.
Second Uncle Sun and Sun Heng are a team, and sometimes they will join forces with other people in the village, but this situation mostly occurs when the village is materially difficult and needs to go deep into the mountains, or when large prey is found.
Walking in the dense forest, Sun Heng held a spear in his hand, leading the way in front, the body of the spear collided with the thorns and dead grass back and forth, the sound was not loud, but it was enough to drive away the insects and snakes.
"Is this it?"
Second Uncle Sun looked around and stood in a certain direction: "It seems that there is nothing in the set, but it's a pity." ”
"Let's go somewhere. ”
Sun Heng also shook his head with regret, here they placed a sling-foot trap to hang the legs of the prey, unless it is a large beast such as a tiger or a bear, otherwise as long as it is hit, it will become their prey.
After checking the trap to make sure there were no glitches, the two moved towards the next position again.
It is common to not hunt prey, and those who can hunt prey every time they go into the mountains are the real strongmen.
"Woohoo......"
On the way forward, the two of them lifted their spirits and did not let go of the slightest sound, and this cry naturally did not escape their ears.
"Wolves!"
Sun Heng's heart jumped, and his body had collapsed.
The wolf is a creature that is extremely ferocious and has always lived in groups, and it is an existence that they are very reluctant to provoke.
"It's a wolf. ”
Second Uncle Sun was smiling behind him, and his eyes were even more excited: "It's just an injured wolf!"
He had far more hunting experience than Sun Heng, and as soon as he heard the sound, he guessed the general situation.
"You mean ......"
Sun Heng's eyes also lit up: "Our trap?"
"Definitely!"
Second Uncle Sun nodded heavily in the back, raised his knife and urged: "Hurry up, let's go over and have a look." ”
The two of them quickened their pace and came to the vicinity of the preset trap in front of them, and in the net trap, there was indeed a wounded wolf!
It was a gray wolf, with fluffy body hair, protruding fangs, and eyes glowing with a faint green light, and was wailing in a net, and its voice was weak, and it had long lost its majesty.
Looking closely, its retreat has been twisted, and there is a miserable white bone stubble emerging from the leg and wrist, and the blood on the leg has also dried up.
"Good fellow, it's a big wolf!"
Second Uncle Sun leaned closer with a hunting knife and smiled: "It's almost more than sixty catties, this guy eats so fat!"
"I'll come. ”
Sun Heng came over with a gun, and his spirit was also relaxed: "You can't break his skin, otherwise the price will be much worse." ”
"Hmm. ”
Second Uncle Sun nodded, took two steps back to make way of his position, and watched Sun Heng walk towards the injured wolf with his gun.
"Woohoo...... Woo......"
The wild wolf should also know the fate he was about to face, and began to struggle desperately in the hunting net hanging in mid-air, howling hard.
"It's useless!"
Sun Heng shook his head, raised his spear, squinted slightly, and began to lock the wolf's eye sockets.
He was sure that he would be able to shoot directly through the wolf's eye socket and into the skull without hurting the hair.
This is the result of his training in the past two years, and he has a golden finger that can perceive the flesh, so naturally it cannot be wasted.
"Whoa......
The spear flashed, and the wolf in front of him suddenly let out a terrible scream, but halfway through the sound, it stopped abruptly, and its body twitched, and it immediately fell into the hunting net.
"Be careful!"
Before he could relax, Second Uncle Sun in the rear suddenly shouted.
Sun Heng's hairs stood on end, only to feel a vicious wind coming from behind him, and he hurriedly pounced forward with his hand, and there was a 'sting' in his back, and the cool breeze swished in.
The clothes are torn, I don't know if I was hurt!
"What's that?"
Before he had time to check the condition of his back, Sun Heng rolled on the ground, already holding a knife in his hand, staring at the thing that attacked him.
It's a wolf again!
The physique is smaller than the one he killed, but his eyes are fierce, staring at himself and screaming.
"Be careful, say hello to its belly!"
Second Uncle Sun carried a hunting knife, approached the wild wolf from one side, licked his dry lips, there was no fear in his eyes, but his ferocity was exposed, as if he had restored the original beastly nature of the human body.
"Hmm. ”
Sun Heng took a deep breath, but he wasn't too scared, squinting, lifting the knife and moving constantly.
"Woohoo......"
With a wolf howl, the wild wolf was already grabbing the turf and rushed straight towards Sun Heng, opening its mouth wide and biting his throat.
"Poof!"
Sun Heng's body flashed, and he slashed through the belly of the wild wolf, although the hunting knife was sharp, the wolf skin was not thin, he was only ten years old and malnourished, and he couldn't break the chamber with one blow.
A little bit of blood appeared on the blade of the hunting knife, and the wild wolf was in pain, and after landing on the ground, he turned around and pounced on Sun Heng again.
pounced and bited, and when it was near, the wolf's claws poked out and scratched it.
"Peng!"
A man and a wolf finally collided together, Sun Heng blocked the wolf's claws with a knife, avoided the wolf's mouth with his head sideways, bent his knees fiercely, and crashed into the wolf's belly.
The impact was huge, Sun Heng fell directly to the ground, and rolled back a few times before he stopped, and the wild wolf was also in pain and froze in place.
"Poof!"
A hunting knife stabbed into the wolf's abdomen just right, Second Uncle Sun screamed and slashed desperately, and when his arm was scratched by the wolf's claws, he directly cut open the wolf's abdomen.
"Whew...... Whoop......"
The two people who were kneeling on the ground gasped desperately, and only looked at each other for half a sound, and at the same time split their big mouths and laughed.
It only took a short moment to do it, but it seemed to consume all their strength, and fortunately, the victory belonged to them.
In the afternoon, fiery clouds began to rise in the sky.
The hunters who went out began to return home one after another, and the second uncle Sun and Sun Heng, who were carrying a wolf on their backs, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Good wolf!"
"Good fur!"
"The second egg is good! He is so young that he can fight with a wolf. ”
Everyone surrounded the dead wolf, kept stroking, and praised the two, and in the crowd, a tall man was particularly conspicuous.
He was dressed in cloth!
Among a group of Mai mountain people, it is particularly eye-catching.
"Two eggs. ”
Dahan retracted his gaze from the wolf's corpse and looked at Sun Heng: "The Meishan Yam Shop in the town is recruiting apprentices, if you want to go, you can try it." ”
"Meishan Yamshop?"
Sun Heng's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily: "Okay! Thank you, Uncle Zhang." ”
