My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 506 The Hunting of the Miao Family III

   Surprise for one person.

  The two were shocked.

  The dog was so frightened that the leopard raised its head and barked when it walked far away.

   "This dog did well in small hunting in the orchard, but once it entered the mountains, it stopped working."

   A slight disappointment flashed in Chen Ling's heart. The coyote had never been to the mountain before, so the name was a bit misleading.

  But soon, this slight disappointment was dispelled by the full of surprise.

  There are leopard activities here?

   So, is it possible to...

   "Lingzi, what was that just now, a leopard?"

   "It's a leopard, trying to catch monkeys and eat them."

   "Hiss, it's really scary, the root of my hair just exploded..."

   "By the way, monkey."

  The two Wang Qingwen brothers hurried forward to check the fallen monkey.

   "This monkey is dead, let's sneak back later, it's more or less a prey."

   It was seen that the throat of this wild monkey had been bitten, and when its head fell from the tree just now, it hit the rock and fell to a **** mess.

  The dead can no longer die.

   "Huh? What is this?"

  Wang Qingwen just pulled the wild monkey and turned it over, when he saw that the wild monkey was holding a dry, naked thing in its hand and a long tail.

   At first glance, this thing looks like a long-dead, wind-dried cat with no fur and only dry skin left.

   "It can't be the little leopard, right? The wild monkey caught the little leopard and killed it? Did it provoke the leopard?"

   "Brother, you really know how to guess."

  Wang Qingzhong next to him was suddenly amused: "This is not a little leopard, how could the little leopard stick to this wild monkey's hand?

   This is a little monkey. I don’t know why it didn’t survive. After it died, the mother monkey was reluctant to bear it and would always hold it in her arms.

   It will not be discarded until it stinks and rots.

   Isn't this sticky to your hands? Only the skin is left, and I don't know how long it has been dead. "

   "Oh, that's it, I've heard my father talk about this kind of thing."

  Wang Qingwen squatted down and smacked his lips: "The fact that the wild monkey is not annoying, Lingzi, tell me, can this monkey be brought back?"

"…Band."

  Chen Ling thought for a while, this monkey was the leopard's prey, and the leopard's prey would easily arouse the leopard's hatred and revenge.

   But for him who has been thinking about the leopard for a long time, this is not a bad thing.

   It would be a good thing if the leopard could take the initiative to seek revenge.

   "It's good if you can bring it, this is more or less a prey, we can't stay in Miao Village forever, parents must still be worried about Ah Zhong at home.

   Get enough prey early and go back early.

   Ah Zhong, get some grass, make a straw bag and bring this wild monkey with you. "

  Wang Qingwen took out a "ghost head knife" given to them by the Miao village, and went to pick some long weeds to cut.

  The ghost head knife of Miao Village looks like a sickle without a bend, just like a bamboo knife used by a bamboo craftsman.

  When necessary, install the ghost knife on a wooden stick to become a long knife.

  It can be used for self-defense when encountering ferocious beasts.

  This is similar to their **** knife and simple knife...

   Without a long stick, it is a hunting knife carried around the waist, but with a stick, it is a majestic long knife.

   Simple but useful.

  Mow the grass, bundle it, wrap it around a few times, and make it into a grass basket.

  This grass scorpion can not only be used for hunting.

  Sometimes I grab a chicken or something and rush to the market to sell it, or cut up some meat. It’s the same way. It’s very convenient to use local materials.

  After the two brothers finished it, they saw that Chen Ling was also holding a ghost knife, looking like he was about to skin the wild monkey in front of him.

   asked: "Ling Zi, what are you doing?"

   "Oh, nothing, since the wild monkeys count as prey, I have to cut off two tails and leave them here..."

  Chen Ling blinked.

  The elder brother and brother immediately understood.

   This is reserved for the "Mountain Spirit and Ghost" under the Lord of the Land.

  In their place, it is a sacrifice to the mountain god.

   Immediately stopped talking.

  Just watch quietly.

   But they didn't know that Chen Ling had other purposes besides this.

   is to lure the leopard.

  Chen Ling prepared several kinds of hunting medicine last night.

   There are animal repellents.

   There are also those who attract animals.

  All are produced by Dongtian.

   Now when cutting off the monkey's tail, put some bait by the way.

   It depends on whether the leopard will take the bait.

   Regarding this kind of thing, he actually didn't know much about it.

  Looking at the direction in which the leopard was leaving, I thought: 'The cat family is cautious, we can't stay here for long, it depends on luck. '

  When he was at home, he was still in the depths of the Great Qinling Mountains on a particularly deep animal track, setting a trap to trap big lynxes.

   As a result, nothing was found.

   And the repeated failures in catching the leopard made him not so confident.

   Now put the bait, that is to say, there are dates and no dates to hit two shots.

   Cut off the monkey's tail at the root, cut it into several sections, and scatter them around.

  In the grass, on the stone, on the branch...

   Finish one by one.

  Chen Ling left a draft bid.

   This is a signal to the Miao people.

   Then he took out the plum tube and blew out loud and clear sounds, three short and three long, spreading out among the mountains and forests.

   This is sending a letter to the Bobcats.

   Tell them there are beasts infested, be careful.

   "Let's go, there is nothing here, and the group of wild monkeys has been scared away... Let's go to the water's edge first."

  Tie up the dead wild monkey with straw, and Wang Qingzhong carried it in his hands. The three of them led the dog and walked down the steep mountain road slowly to the stream at the foot of the mountain.

  Leopards are around.

   Choose to attack the monkey group and hunt the monkeys.

   instead of wild boar.

  This actually explains the problem to a certain extent.

   Or the herd of wild boars is not nearby.

or…

   Now that the herd of pigs is growing, the leopards have no chance of attacking them.

  But at this time the wild boar is in the breeding season.

  If there are little piggies, the little ones are still easy to catch for jackals and tigers.

   And delicious.

  This means that the herd of wild boars is most likely not nearby.

  Chen Ling guessed in his heart.

  The three of them have come to the water's edge.

  Listen to the sound of rushing water, use a hunting knife to scrape the dense weeds, looking for traces of wild boars.

  Chen Ling was already mentally prepared for this time.

   But unexpectedly, except for the annoying mosquitoes, everything else went smoothly.

   After walking along the stream for a long time, I found fresh footprints and feces left by wild boars in a wide area.

and…

  Although this white Taixing dog performed poorly in the face of the leopard, after seeing the fresh 'pig trace', after a while of careful sniffing, it actually reacted quickly.

  Wowing in a low voice, stretching the chain, he was about to go up the stream, to the southeast hillside opposite the stream.

   This surprised and pleasantly surprised Chen Ling.

  Before, I thought that this coyote was rare in the mountains and could not be used much.

   I didn't expect it to be good.

  So he waved to the uncle and brother, "I'm looking for Shangshao, just pinch the pig's trace and go there."

   As for the two elder brothers, if they really get started, they don't know anything about hunting.

   It's not as good as Wang Jusheng and his brother-in-law.

   But the two of them had one good thing, Chen Ling did whatever he said.

   Moreover, he grew up on the mountain in Fenglei Town, and often walks in the mountain.

   Far stronger than Zhao Dahai.

   "I didn't expect that there were leopards in the vicinity, and these wild boars didn't go very far... I'm afraid this leopard just came from the mountains with these wild boars..."

   "Yes, our Yaowang Village is there. There are more wild boars and deer, and the wolves are starting to make noise, but only the howling of wolves is heard, and there are no nearby villages."

   "Well, as long as there are no nearby villages, otherwise our village may have to be like the Miao Village, and we will have to pull out the wolf team to practice."

  …

  This is how it works in the mountains.

  Although many beasts ran to the mountains near Chenwangzhuang.

   But it doesn’t mean that everything is over, no one wants to stay in the old den.

   A large number of beasts left.

  It turns out that the survivability is weaker than other jackals, tigers and leopards of the same kind.

   It's time to feel like a duck to water.

  How can you be willing to leave?

   It's just that they were originally weak, or the group size was small.

  So most of them only hear their voices, but don't see them.

   Unlike those large-scale packs of wolves and jackals that were noticed.

  …

  Going southwest from Leijialing is the direction of the Miao villages in Ranjiazhai.

   There is also a stockade to the southeast.

   But the mountains here will gradually slow down.

  Although it is not like the Ranjiazhai, there is still a spacious dam.

   But it is much easier to walk.

   Less than an hour.

   The three of Chen Ling climbed over several mountains and ravines.

  The trees here are tall and strong, many old trees, as thick as three people hugging each other.

   There are also dense bamboo forests, distributed in large areas.

  Through the bamboo forest, through the pine forest.

   There are the most wild boars in the pine forest.

  The thick pine needles are arched open in many places.

  The thick pine trees were covered with pig hairs, and the bark was rubbed off by wild boars.

   There are even a lot of flowing pine resin that has been rubbed by wild boars beyond recognition.

  Became a sharp insect repellent weapon on them, mixed with mud and dirt to form layers of thick 'armor'.

   "Wow woof~"

  The white dog was barking, while urinating under a pine tree at the outer edge of the pine forest on this ridge with its legs crossed, while looking down at the ridge and barking wildly.

   Soon, there was movement in the distance, as if something had been disturbed.

   "Huh? Got a pig?"

  Chen Ling's eyes froze.

  With his eyesight, he has already seen the black figure shaking.

"did you find it?"

  Wang Qingwen and the two hurriedly put away the debris on their bodies, and then held the gun in their hands, because they were afraid that it would affect the accuracy later.

  Even the dead monkey was thrown on the nearby treetop.

   "Lingzi, what should we do, do you want to meet him?"

   "No, I'll just come... You and elder brother guard here, and when you see wild boars coming over, shoot them with guns."

  He meant that he took the dog to chase the pigs.

  This is the position of the ridge. The wild boars are driven away, and it is very strenuous to rush up in a panic.

  Wolf going up the mountain, pig going down the mountain.

  Wild boars are best shot when they are rushing uphill.

   But when going down the mountain, they will go on a rampage all the way, so powerful that they can break even small trees, which is extremely dangerous for novices.

  The three of them are ready to fight.

  Suddenly, I heard a dog barking from the opposite side.

  And there were gunshots of'bang bang', and bursts of wild boars, the sharp howls like killing pigs came.

   There are faint shouts of people covered by barking dogs and pigs.

   "No, this is the bobcats..."

  Chen Ling's complexion changed, "Big brother, second brother, you should stay here and don't move around. I'll go over and have a look."

   Before Wang Qingwen and his brothers could say anything, they saw Chen Ling tear off the dog's chain, and one person and one dog rushed down the side of the ridge.

  The white dog has no guts to face the leopard.

   But he was quite brave when facing wild boars.

  Chen Ling thought that the Bobcats might have trained them with wild boar blood or something.

  When I entered the mountain, I was excited and manic when I saw pigs.

  Otherwise, the Bobcats would not have chosen these two Taihang dogs as the mountain dogs to make amends to the Miao Village.

   "Woo~"

  The sound of plum tubes came from the dense forest on the opposite hillside.

   It is the Lynx who is summoning, telling the location.

   Probably heard the dog barking here too, but not sure who it was.

  Chen Ling heard the sound and hurriedly shouted: "Here we come."

   Jump across the stream at the foot of the mountain, and rush up the hillside in two or three steps.

  He is extremely fast.

   Almost on the same level as the white Taixing dog beside him.

   Hearing his voice at this time, the gunshots from Bobcat and the others had stopped.

   Only the increasingly harsh and sharp howling of wild boars, and the panicked and manic barking of dogs.

  Chen Ling approached quickly, and saw a big wild boar panting heavily, with red eyes, howling crazily, rushing left and right in a muddy shallow puddle accumulated after the rain.

   Around it, Bobcat was holding a long pole ghost knife and confronting it three or four meters away.

  On one side, the yellow Taihang dog was covered in mud and water, barking barkingly.

  Zhao Dahai and Wang Jusheng were also in a mess.

  Especially Zhao Dahai and Wang Jusheng, both of whom had lost their shoes, their guns fell in the grass not far away, and the back of their heads and backs were also covered with mud, as if they had just climbed out of a muddy pond.

  Seeing Chen Ling coming over, everyone was overjoyed.

  Zhao Dahai and Wang Jusheng picked up the steel fork and axe, and charged upwards screaming.

   "Fugui is here, let's catch it together. Just now, there was a group of pigs in the pond, and they all ran away after shooting. Let's continue to chase after this."

   "Okay, I'll keep it."

   The pig had obviously not been pinned down. Seeing this, Chen Ling yelled, pulled out the shotgun behind his back, chose a path that wild boars must pass, guarded the intersection, and waited for it.

  The traces of pigs are dense and obvious here.

  But it is better to have one bird in hand than ten birds in the woods. Let’s deal with the front end first.

  Chen Ling came over.

  Man has a helper, and the dog has a helper.

   When everyone rushed up, the two coyotes joined together, and their courage increased instantly.

  Even the voice is obviously more energetic.

   Barked, opened its mouth and bit the back of the wild boar's legs, ears and other parts.

   Immediately, the sound of the wild boar became even more miserable.

   But strangely...

   The wild boar didn't care about the biting and fighting between the two dogs.

   With red eyes and howling, he bumped into people.

  Zhao Dahai and Wang Jusheng were inexperienced, and they charged the most fiercely, beckoning at the wild boar with axes and steel forks.

  In a face-to-face meeting, the injury was the wild boar, but he was also rushed by the wild boar in anger, and suffered two somersaults.

   Fortunately, Wang Jusheng is holding a steel fork. If he is holding an axe, and he is not as fat as Zhao Dahai, he will probably be beaten up.

  The second fool also wanted to go, but was pulled away by the Bobcat.

  The lynx dodges and hides, letting the wild boar and the two dogs fight and rush out.

   This was deliberately rushing in Chen Ling's direction. The two cooperated very tacitly. As soon as the bobcat drove away, Chen Ling, who had already been prepared, took advantage of the fact that the two dogs were one body behind the wild boar, and shot at the wild boar.

   A "bang" shot.

   The muddy boar staggered, but its momentum remained unabated, howling and angrily about to charge towards Chen Ling.

  Chen Ling quickly fired again.

  The pig fell to the ground with a crash.

  Seeing this, Zhao Dahai and others breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, wealth has come, it was really dangerous just now."

   Bobcat was a little speechless.

  The fat man still has the face to say it.

  If he and Chen Ling were two, without these rookies following, they could easily get rid of this pig without a dog.

It was just because they were too excited to see the pigs, they couldn't hold back and shot, which caused the pigs to be restless and rushed towards them. Fortunately, they hid quickly and were not injured, and this one was left behind. A wild boar wounded by a gun.

   But even so, Zhao Dahai and the two were knocked over twice in a row.

   But now is not the time to talk about this, Shanmao also knows that Zhao Dahai is a pure rookie, and Wang Jusheng also wants to help Chen Ling, so there is nothing to blame.

   He told them not to behave in the future, and then he and Chen Ling dealt with the fallen wild boar.

   "By the way, Fugui, what happened to your signal before, did you meet a wolf?"

   "No, I met a leopard and caught a monkey on a tree."

   "What? Leopard? No way, there are pigs nearby, are leopards stupid? Don't catch wild boars and monkeys?"

   Bobcat's first reaction when he heard a leopard was the same as Chen Ling's.
