Chapter 149: Hunting(1/2)
Tall and majestic mountains, endless ridges, dense forests, adjacent to streams and river valleys, mostly towering trees, lush green, stacked upwards.
Green grass and shrubs are in a mess. Standing on the rocky beach beside the stream and looking around, you can't see anything else clearly except a piece of green. The dense forest blocks people's sight. The figures of prey cannot be seen clearly, they can only be heard.
The sound of gurgling water and the calls of several species of birds linger in my ears.
According to the division of labor, everyone performs their duties and sits at the intersection.
Chen Ling and Wang Lixian were guarding behind a stone col in the forest not far from the rocky beach. After Wang Lixian's survey, this area belonged to an 'animal path', which is the path that wild animals often take to drink water from the stream.
one.
At this time, the two of them were holding shotguns and holding their breath.
Chen Yuqiang and several young men followed Chen Dazhi and closely guarded the other two intersections.
It is also one of the paths frequented by wild animals.
Hei Wa did not follow the dogs, so he lay at Chen Ling's feet, motionless.
His eyes were rare and serious, and his dark eyes were staring at the dense forest.
It seems to be sensing the dogs chasing the mountains.
Everything is ready and everyone is ready.
Just wait for the prey to appear.
In the sound of gurgling water, time passes by minute by second with the flow of the stream...
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes.
Everyone was in a state of nervous tension, and they didn't know how much time had passed.
At a certain moment, I suddenly heard a dog barking from the mountain.
After the dog barked, it was like a hornet's nest was stabbed, followed by a series of "woof, woof, woof" dog barks.
Hei Wa's ears suddenly stood up.
Then he started to moan and scream in a low voice, his tail flicking restlessly, as if he couldn't help but want to rush out.
Upon seeing this, Wang Lixian made a gesture to Chen Dazhi's side, indicating "something is coming."
"Hey ha, hey hey-"
As the dog barked, someone in the forest also shouted loudly, accompanied by a "bang bang bang" sound similar to a rip-off. This was the shout of the people who were chasing the mountain.
Help the dogs drive away prey.
The sound gradually approached.
Chen Ling could even hear the violent rustling of shrubs, weeds, and thick fallen leaves.
At this time, there was another shout from the mountain.
"I'm coming!"
"Here we come!"
"Brother Xian, be careful, I'm heading towards you!"
The sound of kicking one's feet came one after another.
The few people sitting at the intersection suddenly cheered up.
Along with the shout of kicking one's feet, there was another crackling sound in the dense forest.
Sure enough, some wild animals were forced over.
With sharp eyes, Chen Ling could see two animals with horns on their heads, jumping in the forest. One jump would reveal Lao Gao.
Is it a deer?
The noise is quite loud. Could it be that the herd of deer has been driven out?
Chen Ling suddenly became excited.
My heart became hot, and I stared brightly at the dense forest ahead, ready to throw off my arms and fight.
At this time, I heard someone shouting in a hurry.
"No, that's not good. Another one escaped and ran west."
"Chase, chase quickly..."
Chen Ling just smiled softly when he heard this, "I can't run away. No one can run away."
He glanced in that direction and kicked Hei Wa next to him.
Hei Wa couldn't wait any longer and immediately rushed out with a loud bark.
Almost the next second after Hei Wa rushed out, there were intensive sounds of hooves and the rustling of branches and leaves. He was approaching quickly. He was almost at hand. He saw a frightened and anxious figure, but still light and agile, scurrying through the forest.
Jumped out.
It was indeed a deer.
"shot."
Wang Lixian shouted, stood up from behind the stone col, raised his gun and started shooting.
Chen Ling, who had been prepared long ago, did not lag behind at all and fired together.
"Bang bang bang..."
A series of gunshots suddenly exploded in the forest.
Several wild animals were so frightened that it was too late to escape. They were immediately hit and fell to the ground with a thud.
One by one, they were all kicking their four hooves randomly on the fallen leaves in the forest, screaming and struggling endlessly.
"Good guy, it's Caolu, you're in luck this time!"
Chen Dazhi and others who were guarding the other two intersections heard the sound and ran over. When they saw the wild animal knocked to the ground, they suddenly became happy.
After counting, there were five in total.
Chen Dazhi rolled up his sleeves even more excitedly, spat twice, and stepped forward to apply the knife with great joy. He looked like an old boy at his age.
He took out his hunting knife, held down a grass deer and wiped it on its neck. The knife was clean and neat. With one cut, the grass deer was killed instantly.
Wang Lixian was also very happy, and his black and red face turned purple.
With a smile, he patted Chen Ling on the shoulder and said: "The style is not bad, the performance is quite accurate."
So he stepped forward to help Chen Dazhi.
Chen Ling was very happy after hearing this. It was his first time to participate in hunting and catch a big prey. He was so excited that he rubbed the hot barrel of the gun back and forth.
Looking at the grass deer on the ground, I feel happy no matter how I look at it.
He had been preparing for this trip to the mountains for a long time.
I can't say that I can't say I'm perfect with my slingshot, but my aim is extremely accurate.
Found that feeling.
So after getting the shotgun, it's not difficult to get started. His senses are sharp, his eyesight, hearing, and reactions are much better than ordinary people. He just needs to continue to practice more.
At this time, Xiao Jin also came back with a group of local dogs. Each dog was arrogantly circling the prey, sniffing around, cocking its ears and wagging its tail rapidly.
From time to time they barked twice, and a group of dogs fought together. They were very proud and complacent about having hunted so many prey.
When Chen Ze and his gang came back, Chen Ling had already helped tie up the five grass deer.
There are both male and female grass deer, with gray-brown hair all over the body. The male has horns on his head, which are very long. The female deer has no horns, and is about the same size as a goat, about one meter tall, with slight differences in body shape.
Roe deer in the Northeast are also called grass deer.
But it is not the same thing as the grass deer here.
At this time, the young man who was kicking his feet walked up to him.
Chen Yubin gasped for air and said anxiously: "Li, Uncle Lixian, Uncle Fugui, there's another one? Didn't you chase it?"
This kid is not tall, just over 1.6 meters tall, but among these people, he is the fastest runner.
The other young people had been chasing after the dog for so long, just relying on the motivation of climbing the mountain for the first time. Now they were so tired that they were holding on to the tree, bent over and panting, and they didn't want to move.
He can still speak.
This physical strength is very good.
Chen Ling raised his head, glanced at him, and said, "Hei Wa is going to chase him. Just wait, he won't be able to escape."
He has confidence in his own dog, even a fool like Heiwa is not comparable to ordinary wild animals.
"The one we chased away was not a grass deer, but a muntjac. It was slippery and ran away when it heard any noise. We almost chased it away from the beginning..."
"Hei Wa, can Hei Wa catch up?"
It's not that Chen Yubin doesn't believe in Hei Wa's ability.
The muntjacs are too slippery, especially the muntjacs that often live in the mountains, and are even more difficult to catch.
To be continued...
