My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 150 Hunting

  Tall and majestic mountains, endless mountains, dense forests, adjacent to streams and valleys, mostly towering trees, green and green, layer upon layer.

Green grass, shrubs, and disorder, standing on the rocky beach beside the stream and looking in all directions, except for a piece of green, I can't see anything else. The murmur of water and the chirping of several kinds of birds lingered in my ears.

   Everyone according to the division of labor, each takes his place, and sits and guards the intersection.

Chen Ling and Wang Lixian stayed behind the rocky cove in the forest not far from the rocky beach. After Wang Lixian's investigation, this place belongs to a 'beast road', which is the path that wild animals often take to drink water by the stream. one.

   At this time, the two held their shotguns and held their breaths.

  Chen Yuqiang and a few young guys followed behind Chen Dazhi, closely guarding the other two intersections.

   is also one of the paths frequented by wild animals.

   Heiwa did not follow the dogs, so he crouched at Chen Ling's feet, motionless.

  's eyes became very serious and sharp, and his dark eyes stared at the dense forest.

   seems to be sensing the dogs in the mountains.

  Everything is ready, and everyone is waiting.

   Just wait for the prey to appear.

   In the sound of the gurgling water, time passes minute by minute with the flow of the stream...

   One minute, two minutes, ten minutes.

   Everyone who is in a state of nervousness, I don't know how much time has passed.

   At a certain moment, I suddenly heard a dog barking from the mountain.

   After this dog bark sounded, it was like poking a hornet's nest in an instant, followed by a series of barking dog barks.

   Heiwa's ears perked up suddenly.

   Then he hummed and screamed in a low voice, his tail swaying uneasily, as if he couldn't help but want to rush out.

  Wang Lixian made a gesture to Chen Dazhi's side when he saw this, indicating "something is coming".

   "Hey, hey, hey—"

   Along with the barking of the dog, some people in the mountains also shouted loudly, accompanied by the sound of "bang bang bang" similar to ripping off the bar.

  Help the dogs drive their prey together.

The sound of    gradually approached.

  Chen Ling could even hear the loud noises of bushes, weeds, and thick fallen leaves.

   At this moment, the mountain shouted again.

"I'm coming!"

   "Come here!"

   "Brother Xian, pay attention, I'm going to your side!"

   The sound of slamming feet followed sentence after sentence.

   ordered the few people who were sitting guarding the 'crossroad' to cheer up.

   Accompanied by the cries of stomping feet, there was another crackling sound in the dense forest.

   Sure enough, some wild animals were forced over.

  Chen Ling has sharp eyes and can see two people with horns on the top of their heads, jumping in the forest, and one jump is the old high.

   is a deer?

   Listening to this movement is not small, could it be that the deer herd was driven out?

  Chen Ling got excited.

  's heart became hot, and his eyes were staring at the dense forest in front of him, and he was ready to throw off his arms and have a hard time.

   At this time, someone shouted in a hurry.

   "No, it's not good, there is another one who ran away and ran west."

   "Chase, chase..."

  Chen Ling just smiled lightly, "I can't run, I can't run at all."

   glanced in that direction and kicked Heiwa next to him.

   Heiwa couldn't wait any longer, and immediately rushed out screaming.

Almost the next second after Heiwa rushed out, the sound of hoofs and the sound of clattering branches and leaves approached quickly, almost within a few feet, I saw a figure in the forest, although frightened, but still light and agile, running away. jumped out.

   It is indeed a deer.

   "Shoot."

   Wang Lixian shouted, stood up from behind the stone pass, raised his gun and shot.

   Chen Ling, who had been prepared a long time ago, did not fall behind in the slightest, and shot together.

   "Bang bang bang..."

   A series of gunshots exploded in the forest.

   A few wild animals were so frightened that they lost their minds, and it was too late to escape. They were immediately hit and fell to the ground.

   One counts as one, all of them are stomping on fallen leaves in the forest, kicking their hooves around, screaming and struggling endlessly.

   "Good guy, it's a grass deer, it's not a loss this time!"

   Chen Dazhi and others, who were guarding the other two intersections, heard the sound and ran over, and they immediately became happy when they saw the wild animals that were knocked to the ground.

   waited and counted, there were five.

  Chen Dazhi was even more excited to roll up his sleeves, spit two saliva, and went forward to make up for the knife, looking like an old boy.

   took out the hunting knife, pressed a grass deer and wiped it on the neck.

  Wang Lixian was also very happy, his black and red face turned purple.

   patted Chen Ling on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "The style is not bad, and the hitting is quite accurate."

   went up to help Chen Dazhi.

  Chen Ling heard the words, followed by a burst of joy. It was the first time he took part in a hunt and hit a big prey. He was so excited that he rubbed the hot gun barrel back and forth.

   Looking at the grass deer on the ground, how happy he is.

   For this time into the mountain, he had been preparing for a long time.

  The slingshot can't be perfected, but it's also extremely accurate.

   found that feeling.

   So after getting the shotgun, it is not difficult to get started. He has keen perception, and his eyesight, hearing, and reflexes are much stronger than ordinary people. He just needs to keep practicing.

   At this time, Xiao Jin also came back with a group of local dogs, one after another arrogantly circled the prey, sniffing around, sticking their ears and wagging their tails quickly.

   barked twice from time to time, and a group of dogs sparred into a ball. They were also very proud and complacent when they hunted so many prey.

   When Chen Ze's gang dashed back, Chen Ling had already helped tie up the five grass deer.

  Grass deer have both males and females, with gray-brown hair all over the body. The male has long horns on the top of his head, and the horns are very long. The female deer has no horns.

  The roe deer in the northeast is also called the grass deer.

   But the grass deer on their side is not the same thing.

   At this moment, the young man with his feet stepped forward.

  Chen Yubin gasped for breath and said anxiously, "Uncle Li, Uncle Li Xian, Uncle Fugui, there is one more? Didn't you chase it?"

   This kid is not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall, but among these people, he is the fastest runner.

  The other young people chased after the dog's **** for so long, just relying on the strength of pushing the mountain for the first time, and now they are too tired to support the tree, and the cat is panting and not wanting to move.

   He can still speak.

   This physical strength is very good.

  Chen Ling looked up at him and said, "Heiwa went after him, just wait, I'm sure he won't be able to run away."

   He has confidence in his own dog, even if Heiwa is a fool, he is not comparable to ordinary wild animals.

   "The one who ran away was not a grass deer, but a stag, slipping away, and ran away when he heard the movement. We almost threw it away from the beginning..."

   "Heiwa, can Heiwa catch up?"

  Chen Yubin does not believe in Heiwa's ability.

The    is that the scorpion is too slippery, especially the scorpion that often lives in the deep mountains, it is even more difficult to catch.

   There is an old local saying called:

   "Pigs run to the pond, muntjacs run to the beams, and leopards run on the rocks."

   is spread by old hunters who often go into the mountains in mountain villages.

   The meaning of this sentence is very simple.

   means that if the wild boar is driven by the mountain dog, it will go straight to the intersection, and the prey the mountain dog will drive out is called "Qitang".

   So this wild boar pond is not a mud pond, but a crossroads where hunters sit and guard.

   said that the wild boar was a 250-year-old, dead brains, angered it, ran rampant, chased behind the buttocks of the mountain dog, and ran straight towards the person and ran into it.

  If you have bad marksmanship, if you don't have time to shoot it, and if you can't dodge it, you will be kicked out.

   Muntjak is fine. After the mountain dog has alerted them, they like to run away and jump along the mountain ridge.

  The leopard was on the steep cliff, and a few jumped up and ran away without a shadow, and the dogs couldn’t chase it, and the people couldn’t hit it.

   These three things are not easy to catch.

   "Don't worry, if Heiwa can catch up, even Jizi will definitely not be able to run away."

  Chen Ling smiled, his tone still very determined.

   Sure enough, not two minutes.

   There was the sound of hooves clattering in the woods, the big man Heiwa shook his tendons, and appeared with a prey in his mouth.

   Everyone immediately looked over.

   A group of dogs also gathered around, wagging their tails and barking.

   Wait for Heiwa to hold it in front of Chen Ling.

  Wang Lixian took a look, and his frowning brows loosened: "It's really a mule."

   "No wonder..."

   The prey was not lost, and everyone was very happy.

   Hearing Wang Lixian's words, he immediately felt strange.

   "What's the matter, Brother Xian?"

   "It's nothing, I just looked at the hoof prints with Brother Zhi, and we both thought there were several large herds of deer nearby. As a result, these five grass deer came out..."

   "Well, since there are deer in the woods now, don't say anything, the deer don't want to think about it, there must be no big deer, this place is not worth paying more attention to."

  Wang Lixian shook his head and stared at the sorrel lying on the ground.

   His neck was bitten off by Heiwa, and the air that had been inhaled and the air that had been released was less.

   took out his knife to make up for it, and Jizi didn't move at all.

"what?"

   "Why is this, Brother Xian?"

   Hearing what Wang Lixian said, he stopped talking about Chen Ling and the others.

  Chen Dazhi also felt a little puzzled.

"One deer is like a hundred sheep. A deer is timid and active. If there is a little trouble, it will not work. If you drink water, you have to change several places. If you drink water in the east, you drink in the west. Sometimes, although there are many footprints, there are many old wild animals. It's like, in fact, it's often just a hoof print made by a muntjac."

   "Furthermore, it's easy to mess up the hoof prints of deer and Kako."

  Wang Lixian said, stood up and put the hunting knife into the sheath, let out a long breath, and smiled: "I haven't gone to the deep mountains for many years, I forgot about this, the style is unfamiliar, alas..."

   Over the years, he has been away from home all the year round and has been working with the construction team. Every time he comes home after finishing his work, he is too tired to move.

"Okay, your style is still called life? We are even more unable to do it. It's only our first day in the mountains. It's not bad to have these gains. Enough is enough, and we can't carry it any more. Hahaha."

  Chen Dazhi smiled and pinched the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows shaking.

   "That's right, if it wasn't for Brother Xian, we wouldn't know where to put Gouhushan, and we wouldn't even know where to sit at the intersection, it would be an empty pond."

  Chen Ling followed.

  Empty pond means that there is no right intersection. The dog in the mountain chases the prey out, and the person who sits in the pond flies in the air.

   This is often the case.

  Lack of experience will lead to misjudgment, Wang Lixian is very good.

   Then everyone agreed.

   Having such a harvest today is really not bad.

  Everyone is very happy, especially the young guys who haven't been in the mountains, all of them are in high spirits and ready to show their skills in the next.

   As he packed up his prey and carried it out of the woods, he asked Wang Lixian some incomprehensible questions, and how to identify the prey's tracks, etc., all wanting to learn some skills.

  Wang Lixian does not hide his secrets at all, he knows everything he knows, and basically he can tell one, two or three things when asked.

  Chen Ling also listened very seriously.

  …In the mountains, it gets dark earlier.

   After four o'clock, it was time to find a place to stay at night.

  With Wang Lixian, an old hunter, naturally there is no problem.

  The crowd carried their prey and walked along the stream.

  The pheasants, rabbits and other small prey encountered are also spared.

   is purely regarded as training marksmanship.

   It's scattered, and the harvest is really a lot.

   Gradually, the sun fell in the west and was blocked by the mountains, and the light suddenly dimmed. The sky seemed to be soaked in oil and became translucent, smudged by the reddish sunlight.

  The empty and secluded mountains and forests, where the birds were singing crisply and the water ding-dong, became gloomy after the light dimmed.

   Wang Lixian did not dare to delay, so he led the crowd to find a place to stay.

   You can no longer stay by the water at this time.

  Although it is autumn, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains. The place next to the water, after a fire is built at night, will attract mosquitoes to wreak havoc.

   And at night, it is the time for beasts to hunt for food. There are often beasts drinking water by the river. The beasts are very aggressive at night.

   River valleys with low terrain and flat mountainsides cannot be selected.

  The old hunters in the mountains know that these places are very humid, and as long as they sleep for a night, they will lose their waists when they wake up.

   In the language of geographical science, the cold air in these places sinks and gathers at night, which is the same reason.

   Staying in the deep mountains at night, you should pay attention to all aspects, it is the same as whether there are many people or few people.

   Many dangers are invisible.

   In the end, Wang Lixian chose an open space beside a mountain ridge as a place to stay tonight. Then the big guy put down his prey and his belongings and began to clean up the weeds and leaves.

  Chen Ling took the job of collecting firewood and cooking, and took two dogs to look around, but he wanted to take the opportunity to go back and collect some gadgets found on the road.

   He walked all the way and left a mark.

   Now take the short distance into the bag first, as for the far distance, go tomorrow morning at dawn.
