Chapter 159 Horsehair Cover

As Li Xuewu said, he put on his leather shoes and got off the ground, and put on his cotton hat and mask.

The three brothers of the Zhao family looked at Li Xuewu's mighty and domineering police uniform, especially the pistol stuck in his waist, and they were even more envious.

I have never seen a police officer wearing leather shoes in this village, nor have I seen a police officer riding a motorcycle.

Today, I just feel that the elder sister I thought before was married to a city person, and I am filled with awe of my brother-in-law's family.

Li Xuewu took his eldest brother's military coat and left the house, and Zhao Gen followed him out of the house.

Li Xuewu pedaled the motorcycle, adjusted the direction, put on sunglasses, let Zhao Yajun sit in the sidecar, Zhao Yamin sat in the back seat, and threw the coat to Zhao Yajun to put it on the front, Zhao Yamin hid behind Li Xuewu behind the coat.

After saying hello to Zhao Gen, he followed Zhao Yajun's instructions and rode up the mountain. The children who followed earlier were not afraid of the cold and watched from a distance.

The road up the mountain was even more difficult. Li Xuewu could only ride up slowly, fearing that the car would overturn.

After passing a hill, the car couldn't go anymore, Zhao Yajun jumped out of the car and pointed to the ravine and said, "Second brother, the cover I put on is over there, it's not far to walk there"

Li Xuewu stopped the car, took out the key, and took Zhao Yamin out of the car.

"Let's leave the car here, let's go over there"

The snow on the mountain at this time is actually not too thick, because the wind is strong, the snow is blown away by the wind before it melts, but the snow is thicker when it enters the ravine.

Zhao Yajun led the way, followed by Li Xuewu and Zhao Yamin.

After entering the first ditch, Zhao Yajun looked at the snow inside, then at the horsehair cover, sighed and said, "No, there are footprints on the snow, but they didn't go in, let's go, let's look at the next one."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked into the nearby ravine.

Li Xuewu's hunting method is to find the prey, and then find a way to kill the prey, which is relatively straightforward.

It was the first time I saw the prey with horsehair. Obviously, these two brothers came here often. Li Xuewu seemed like a younger brother who didn't understand anything in front of them. The two brothers explained to Li Xuewu carefully The next step is how to choose a place.

After entering the second ravine, I saw a gray thing lying on the snow at the entrance of a cave from a long distance away.

"It's a rabbit, trapped"

Zhao Yamin yelled in surprise and ran over there, Zhao Yajun followed his younger brother.

Li Xuewu didn't know the terrain, and was afraid of falling into a snow hole, so he could only follow the path of the two brothers.

After walking in, I saw clearly that the horsehair harness was put down at the entrance of the rabbit's cave with a wooden stick. When the rabbit came out to look for food, it was tied at the door.

The rabbit is not too big, it is gray, maybe it has been dead for a long time, and it is already frozen.

Zhao Yamin happily told his brother with the rabbit in his hand, saying that it was his own plan.

Zhao Yajun was very happy for his younger brother, and patted his younger brother who was still holding Rabbit Le.

It was a bit cold at the moment, my younger brother's face was chapped from the cold, and his nose was still running. Zhao Yajun looked at Li Xuewu a little embarrassed, probably because he was afraid that Li Xuewu would make fun of his younger brother's ignorance.

Li Xuewu smiled, turned his head to look at the small village in the distance, and did not speak.

The three of them went around a few more ravines, counting the rabbit before, and only found pheasants. In winter, there were still more pheasants, but few rabbits came out.

Seeing the two pheasants running across the snow, Li Xuewu thought that if he had a shotgun, he would definitely be able to shoot them.

Zhao Yajun raised the gun in his hand, but after thinking about it, he put it down again. Let alone the pheasant, even the wild fox would be smashed into a sieve, and they couldn't eat it no matter what.

Afraid of Li Xuewu's misunderstanding, Zhao Yajun pointed to the pheasant and said, "This thing looks big, but it doesn't have much meat. You can see that it flies very fast, but it only hits the ground three times, and then it plunges its head into the snowdrift. Move, if we have a dog, we will be able to catch it."

"When the time comes, you don't have to chase after it. You just need to come to the front and pull the pheasant out of the snowdrift like pulling a carrot."

As he spoke, Zhao Yajun stopped talking, and walked back somewhat dejectedly.

Zhao Yamin hugged the trapped pheasant and rabbit and followed behind Li Xuewu and said in a low voice: "My brother has a dog, he is very smart in training, and he is very good at chasing pheasants. I can't do it, my father has no choice but to "

While talking, I was also a little sad, so I silenced my voice and stopped talking.

Li Xuewu roughly knew what was going on, people couldn't live, let alone dogs.

"Do you know how to train dogs?"

Hearing Li Xuewu's question, Zhao Yajun calmed down his emotions and replied: "My grandfather is a hunter, and so is my father. They all hunted tigers, leopards, and wolves. They used to have dogs at home all the year round, and they trained them by themselves. My grandfather taught me this since I was a child, but my hunting ability is not as good as my father’s, let alone my grandfather’s.”

Li Xuewu thought for a while and asked again: "Any dog ​​will do?"

Zhao Yajun looked up at Li Xuewu, a little puzzled why he asked this question, but he still replied: "Well, a native dog is fine. You can practice it from a young age. You can follow hunting dogs in about a year, and you will be mature in about two years." good hounds"

Li Xuewu looked at the simple and honest Zhao Yajun, then at the two brothers who were wearing patched clothes but not inferior, thought for a while without saying anything, returned to the car and pedaled back the same way.

When I got home and checked the time, I only went out for more than 40 minutes. As soon as I parked the car, Zhao Yamin jumped out of the car and carried the chicken and rabbit into the house.

"Dad, there's something real, there's a rabbit caught in a trap I put down"

Seeing the second son of the Zhao family running into the house happily.

Li Xuewu didn't rush in, and smoked a cigarette with Zhao Yajun who was with him outside.

Zhao Yajun should not have been learning to smoke for a long time, and he is not very proficient in smoking.

Looking at the immature but resolute and simple face, with a somewhat calm or gloomy expression, Li Xuewu asked: "How long did you go to school?"

Zhao Yajun looked up at Li Xuewu, then lowered his head, and replied in a muffled voice, "I won't read it on the first day of junior high school."

Li Xuewu nodded, and asked again: "Do you resent your sister for not reading the book?"

Zhao Yajun shook his head, looking a little confused, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "My sister is better at studying than me, so she should continue to study. I am in good health, and I just help out with the housework when I go home. Otherwise, my brother My sister is hungry, let alone studying.”

Li Xuewu had just chatted a few words when Zhao Gen came out.

"What are you doing standing at the door, hurry up and stay inside, it's too cold"

"Uncle, smoke a cigarette outside the station"

"Smoke in the house, let's go into the house"

After speaking, he let Li Xuewu into the house, and his elder brother Xuewen was still sitting on the kang, chatting with Mr. Zhao about the affairs of the city.

Li Xuewu went into the house and got on the kang, Zhao Yajun went into the house for a while and then went out with a knife to skin the rabbit.
