Chapter 114 Catch the Pheasant and Catch the Rabbit

Not long after, a pheasant with brightly colored feathers appeared with its head poking its head. It first looked left and right to see if there was anyone, and then walked towards the grain of wheat, walking very cautiously. I believe that if there is any slight noise at this moment, it will be startled Walk.After pecking at a grain of wheat, he raised his head and looked around. Seeing that there was no danger, he repeated this action three more times, and after seeing that there was really no danger, he cooed happily behind him for a while.

Between the calls, there were two pheasants poking their heads. Seeing the first one pecking at the wheat grains on the ground, they ran over to peck at them, cooing while eating, apparently calling for their companions.

The fourth came down, and the fifth, and after a while, a group appeared.In recent years, due to the country's promotion of animal protection, hunting in the mountains is strictly prohibited, and people's living standards are not bad, and they all have a respect for the government. Few people will risk losing their heads and The government is fighting against each other, so the game on the mountain has gradually increased in recent years, and pheasants will often appear in groups.

Fan Ming clenched his fists excitedly, but he didn't know how to catch some pheasants.

Wang Peng said like old man Qian: "Why didn't you take a shotgun? If you have a shotgun now, you can definitely get several of them with one shot."

Old man Qian glanced at Wang Peng and said, "What do you know? Hunters who can only fire guns are only suitable for wild animals, and they are just like stupid dogs." Then he said to everyone: "When the time comes, I will yell loudly, and you will rush out , also yelling loudly, how many you can catch depends on your ability."

But Wang Peng murmured, "It would be nice to be able to bring one."

Old man Qian ignored Wang Peng's muttering, and asked everyone, "Are you ready?" Everyone nodded.Then he turned his head and yelled suddenly, his body also rushed out as if posing, and so did the people behind him.Followed by four dogs.

The pheasant heard that the big man was frightened and dispersed, but a scene that surprised Fan Ming and Wang Peng appeared.I saw some flying up and gliding for a certain distance and then stepped on the snow to escape quickly, and some of them plunged their heads into the snow under the chase of people, leaving only their bodies shivering outside.

People who have seen it know what is going on, those who have never seen it and don't know it is inexplicably opened their mouths in surprise, and now Fan Ming can't figure out why this pheasant sticks its head into the snow as it runs. Started a deception to steal the bell.

This kind of pheasant is the most timid, it will run away when there is a slight disturbance, and when it is chased while eating, it will bury its head in the snow if it cannot escape, and it will be regarded as safe if it cannot be seen, so it is often seen after a university. A pheasant that has frozen to death with its head stuck in the snow.

Hey, maybe these guys are close relatives of ostriches, their behaviors are so similar when they encounter danger.

Some people were surprised, but old man Qian's hands were not idle. He walked quickly to pull out the pheasant stuck in the snow, and broke its neck.Others followed suit, but the way they did it was not crisp and neat, and the chicken screamed in pain, which made me very embarrassed by surprise.Only Zhang Taiping, Wang Gui, and old man Qian's methods were almost not procrastinating, breaking their necks before the rooster crowed.

Seeing the actions of the two, old man Qian couldn't help sighing: "You two are born hunters. If you were born decades earlier, you would be free-spirited masters in the mountains and forests. It's just that people don't advocate hunting anymore, so it's a pity. There are two seedlings."

Zhang Taiping smiled and didn't speak, Wang Gui was even less likely to say anything.

Fan Ming picked up a pile of pheasants with broken necks and counted them. There were twelve of them, which was comparable to the number shot with a shotgun.

The old man Qian looked at the book and said to Wang Peng: "How is it? You can hunt without a shotgun. A really good hunter must be able to hunt without a shotgun and not less than with a shotgun. Otherwise. What do you think the ancients used to hunt without a shotgun?"

Wang Peng gave him a thumbs up and stopped talking. Facts have proved that what he just said was too much.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but exclaimed: 360 lines lead to champions, and each line contains thousands of years of long-term experience and wisdom, which cannot be underestimated.

Stringing up twelve colorful pheasants with rattan pegs and hanging them on wooden sticks, Old Man Qian said, "Okay, just catch these pheasants. Aren't they advocating sustainable development now? We can't catch them all at once. We need to keep some for seeding. This is enough, and then go to other places to catch rabbits."

He was the main force in the arrest, everyone listened to him, followed him and moved a little distance to the side.Then I saw that he followed the footprints of the hare on the ground, and made several covers with rattan at intervals. There are many such rattans in the mountains. They are strong and can be used anywhere.Some people have specially treated these rattans to make them tough and hard, and they can be used to weave baskets or cages. Most of the famous big old cages in the countryside are made of this kind of rattan and thin bamboo. These are slipknots, as long as you get inside and get caught, you can only calm down and untie them bit by bit. If you struggle harder, the loop will tighten and tighten until it reaches the flesh.Therefore, all the traps are often used to catch dead things, and very few live things.Because once the animals fall into the trap, they will struggle hard to break free because of panic. They never know that this will speed up their death, and they will strangle themselves to death in a short time.

Old man Qian tried not to destroy the traces of the original rabbit soaking while setting the trap, and said to everyone while doing it: "Rabbits are used to walking the old way, and the places they walk often form an inherent passage. It is guaranteed that the trick can be done, but the original appearance cannot be destroyed when the trick is played, otherwise there will be an exception.”

Once the trap was set here, old man Qian led everyone to bid farewell to the place where the trap was laid. After going down three hills in total, he rested and said, "Now we have to wait for a while. There is a process for this rabbit to enter the trap."

The snow was so heavy that even the underside of the big trees in the woods was covered with thick snow.Everyone climbed to the top of a small slope, and the sun just rose, shining on the pure white snow, reflecting a dazzling white light, and looking at the ground and the sky, it was all white, which made people unable to open their eyes.

Old man Qian said: "This heavy snow is really rare. Waving your hands used to be a disaster, but now, it's a good thing."

Fan Ming let his eyes adjust to the environment and asked, "Why is it a good thing now?"

"Hehe, this is mainly because the party leads the people to a better life."

Wang Peng felt his teeth sore when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing.

Old man Qian squinted at him: "Don't you believe me? You haven't lived in the previous society. Back then, there was no food or warm clothes in winter. If it snows so much, it doesn't matter whether next year will be a year of auspicious snow. First of all this year, some people will have to freeze to death and starve to death. What is it if it is not a disaster? Now under the leadership of the party, at least there is no need to worry about food and clothing. People will not be afraid of freezing and starving in a heavy snowfall, so That's a good thing."

Fan Ming let out a sigh and then realized that several men were smoking, and she was still a little sensitive to the smell of smoke, so she took a few steps away and looked towards the distant woods, when she suddenly saw an animal coming out of the woods in front of her, she He shouted in surprise: "Look, what is that, is it a goat?"

Several people who were smoking turned to the direction Fan Ming was pointing at, and sure enough, they saw a goat-like animal coming out of the forest.Old man Qian put down the pipe and said, "This is not a goat raised at home, but a wild goat."

"Wild goats, catch them and eat them!" Wang Peng yelled, and Wang Laoqiang was a little moved.

Old man Qian hit him with a pot of dry tobacco, but he avoided him: "You just know how to eat it? These goats have been rare in recent years, and there are probably not many in the mountains. You should accumulate some virtue."

Hearing what old man Qian said, the few people who were eager to try it all stopped.The wild goat came out and paced a few steps, as if it saw the people standing on the top of the slope, it ran into the woods and disappeared.

Old man Qian led the crowd around the forest for more than an hour before walking towards the trap.First of all, go to the hillside where the pheasant is caught, where the cover is the earliest, and the cover will start from there.Unexpectedly, everyone was disappointed once on the first hillside. The harness was still there, but there was no rabbit.

Wang Peng said, "Why not?"

Old man Qian said: "Maybe it's because the movement of catching the pheasant here was so loud that it frightened the rabbit away. Besides, the time to set the trap is too short."

The time is indeed a little short. Under normal circumstances, the rabbits are put in the trap at night, and the chances of the rabbit coming out at night are frequent. They only go to trap the next morning. There are seven or eight hours during the period, and it has only passed now. After more than an hour, and it was still in the daytime, it was not a matter of personal technical experience that the rabbit was not caught, but the weather was not right.

There was no trap on this slope, so I went up to the other two slopes. I caught a rabbit on the second slope, and it was already strangled to death. The tough vines were worn out and the fur got stuck in the flesh. Obviously this rabbit It went through a fierce struggle before dying, and it was precisely because of this that its death was accelerated.Another one was caught on another hillside. It seems that it was just set up not long ago. The rabbit was still struggling on it. The sleeve made of strips became tighter and tighter, and the eyes became red.

Fan Ming couldn't bear to see it struggling and desperate before dying, so he pretended to look away.Wang Laoqiang was straightforward, holding a wooden stick as thick as an arm, stepped forward and gave it a good time.

Untied the rabbit from the cover, but the old man Qian was dissatisfied with only catching two rabbits after spending most of the morning, so he said: "Let's go, don't use the cover, dig a rabbit hole, let the big dog catch it!" .”
