Chapter 99
This table was broken, so Zhang Chi thought about changing it.

But the rest of the guys don't think so.

"Let's fix it, I don't think the damage is too serious." Ricardo said and got off the horse first.

Bell then got off the horse: "I just looked a little sideways, and it will be fine if we use the horse to get up."

Zhang Chi suspected that there was something wrong with the brains of these two guys. This table has already fallen to the ground even with its frame and canopy. Is this just a little bit tilted?
Miller also dismounted at this time, and said as he dismounted: "We have enough horses, and there is no problem in pulling up this platform again."

Garcia next to him also nodded.

Zhang Chi has learned the tendencies of these cowboys. It seems that they have a preference for repairing a thing. When they see something broken, they will try to repair it.

Everyone else got off the horse, and it was impossible for him to sit on the horse's back in a daze, so Zhang Chi also got off the horse, and with the oil lamp in his hand illuminated, he followed the crowd towards the collapsed platform.

When he got to the side of the table, Zhang Chi raised the lamp in his hand, and found that the inside of the table was broken and could not be broken anymore.

"Pull it up and try?"

Ricardo said to everyone.

Everyone agreed, so Zhang Chi nodded, thinking: Let's try with these guys.

After the agreement is made, everyone will do it, but before pulling the table, a few children must be put off the horses.

After carrying the children off the horse, everyone took out their own lassoes one after another, tied one end of the noose to the head of the saddle post with a slipknot, and tied the other end to the post of the platform.

Five people and five horses were tied to four pillars, and the remaining one, Zhang Chi's Chiyanshan, was tied to the beam in the middle.

The back of the platform is facing the mountain. If everyone wants to pull it up, they can only pull it in the opposite direction of the fall, that is, the horse has to climb the slope.

Fortunately, the hillside is not too steep, and no one has stepped on the snow now, and the snow is not frozen. Otherwise, a few horses would break their legs if they pulled it a few times.

"I'll call one, two, three, let's work together." Burris was the oldest of the group, so he gave the orders.

Everyone nodded, and Zhang Chi, who was pulling Chi Yanshan's bridle, also nodded.

When Boris called three, Zhang Chi dragged Chiyan Mountain to let it go up the slope, and at the same time ensured that Chiyan Mountain was kept parallel to the other horses, so that everyone's strength could be directed toward one horse. direction.

The strength of the five horses should not be underestimated. Under the action of the horsepower, the stand slowly stood up.

Seeing this situation, everyone was overjoyed and urged the horses to continue pulling up the pillars.

Seeing the stage rise higher and higher, everyone's spirits also became more and more full.

Some things will go wrong in the end, and this is the same today. Just when the table was close to ninety degrees, Burris's own horse slipped.

The horse tried desperately to maintain its balance, but unfortunately the snow under its feet was too slippery, and the snow that had just been picked up and compacted by the horse's hooves was already frozen.

The horse's hoof pawed twice, and just when it could barely support it, it stepped on another ice line, and then the horse fell onto the snow with a snap.

When a horse lay down, the weight of this piece was instantly distributed to other horses. After pulling for such a long time, which horse did not step on a snow print on the hillside?The snow in Xueyinzi is so compact, how many minutes can it last in the cold weather of minus ten degrees without forming icicles?

In less than a breath, all the remaining four horses lay down almost at the same time, including Zhang Chi's Chi Yanshan.

When the group lay down, the platform could not stand still, and it fell directly to the ground. The weight of the platform was facing the ground, and the rope tied to the horse naturally brought the horse down.

Because there is almost no friction on the snow, the platform did not pause at all, and directly pulled the five horses and fell heavily onto the snow.

boom!
There was a platform with a shelf, but now it fell to pieces. Except for a few pillars, the wood in other places was cracked and broken, and there was no value in repairing it. Much simpler.

Ricardo was dumbfounded, he stared at the shattered table, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's change the table."

"That's the only way to go." Miller nodded.

Zhang Chi was defeated by these reckless men. A good stage can be saved a bit, but it was made by you guys... and it was scrapped directly.

It was too late for him to say anything now, so everyone put away their lassoes, and Ricardo also said that there was time to rebuild something.

Put the noose back on the horse.

A few children are playing happily now, a group of children and a group of dogs are playing around in the snow.

Everyone put the child on the horseback and continued to walk along the foot of the mountain to the public pasture.

After walking for about three or four miles, another platform appeared in front of everyone.

Only now did Zhang Chi know what the table for hunting coyotes looked like.

It's a platform, but it's actually a pavilion. It's rectangular, with four pillars as feet, and it's a platform about three meters high.

The first floor is surrounded by a wooden fence, and it seems that this is the place to tie the horses.

Going up is a wooden ladder, which is quite steep. Otherwise, there is an [-]-degree angle with the ground. It is definitely not possible to walk up. You have to use your hands and feet to climb up.

When they got under the platform, everyone did not drive the horse into the bottom of the platform, but untied the things first and put them on the second floor of the platform.

Throwing his things to the second floor, Zhang Chi discovered that there are fences on three sides of the second floor to block the wind, and the other side facing the pasture is completely empty, and someone who is not careful may fall down.

But it's definitely okay to fall now, because the snow on the ground can definitely catch one.

Other than that, there is nothing special about the table. As for whether the table is built finely or not, there is no need to discuss it. It is not a place where people live. How can it be so fine? The second floor table is directly paved with tree trunks. Many trees The skin is still wrapped on it, which is the original flavor at all.

"What's next?" Seeing that everyone took out their guns, Zhang Chi began to install the scope, and he also followed the example of everyone and put his own scope on the gun.

"Then shoot a deer, divide the deer and drag it on the surrounding ground, so that the smell of the deer stays and attracts the coyotes," Garcia said.

Zhang Chi nodded.

It’s easy to find a deer in these surroundings, you don’t need to run away, just stand here with a gun aiming. Many herbivores choose this place in winter. First, because this place is open, there is no way for carnivores to hide. The second is that the grass here is also abundant. Although it is dry grass, it is better than starving to death, and the herbivores here do not need to change with the seasons.

"Who's coming?"

"George, he's here for the first time, let him come for the first shot," Burris said with a smile.

Garcia and others all smiled and said to Zhang Chi: "Come on!"

Zhang Chi was not polite, without any excuses, he directly pushed the bullet into the barrel of the gun, and aimed at a deer through the night vision scope.

The deer is not small, and the antlers on its head are very attractive. One can tell that it is a vigorous male deer, and it is likely to be the leader of the herd.

Zhang Chi didn't care about those who were not leaders or sleeves. After aiming, he held his breath and waited for his mood to calm down, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

boom!
A gunshot broke the tranquility of the night and the herd of deer who were eating. These guys raised their heads one after another, and then one deer started to run, and the other deer also ran, and soon the group of deer disappeared. In the sight of Zhang Chi and others.

"bingo!"

Everyone was not very happy, and they didn't say anything congratulatory, because everyone felt that this was a basic operation. If the shot could not be hit, it would be a problem, and if it was hit, it would be the minimum requirement.

Zhang Chi didn't think that this shot was so good, it was just an ordinary shot, and his heart was like a wave of Pinghu.

Several people mounted their horses and quickly walked towards the fallen deer.

When he got to the side of the deer, Boris took out the long knife he was carrying and began to divide the deer. It would definitely not be skinned. This deer is not for people to eat, but is used as bait, and it is directly disassembled. That's it.

It was obviously not the first time Boris had done this job. The long knife in his hand was inserted directly through the joint, and he pressed the back of the knife with his hand, and he heard two clicks, and a deer hind leg was easily removed by him. It feels pretty smooth.

"this is for you!"

The first deer leg was given to Zhang Chi.

"Tie it up with a lasso, and drag it around here to let the smell of the deer spread to the ground. It's best to cut a piece of meat and throw it down from time to time. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't cut it. Coyotes are not picky eaters."

Zhang Chi heard Ricardo's words, and took off the noose from the horse's back again. One end of the noose was tied to the deer's leg, and the other end was tied to the saddle head.

Turning on his horse, Zhang Chi dragged the deer leg under the snow and began to circle around the current place.

Zhang Chi didn't finish the circle here, and the rest of them dragged the rest of the deer's body and began to circle around the place where the deer is now hidden.

The painting got bigger and bigger, almost drawing the area of ​​a football field. Burris said that enough was enough, so everyone dropped the venison they dragged on the spot and gathered towards the table.

When they got to the platform, everyone got off their horses one after another, drove the horses into the board room under the platform, untied the hay bags they were carrying, and placed them in front of their own horses, so that the horses could eat something.

After doing these things, everyone comforted their dogs one after another, and then went to the stage one by one.

When they got to the stage, everyone was busy in their own way. Zhang Chi followed suit, untied the cold-proof sleeping bag he brought, and got into the bag, exposing only the upper part of his arms.

Now everyone is lying on the stage in a shooting position, and the lower body is in the sleeping bag, and it will not be too cold, which is quite comfortable.
