hunting in 1986

The fire was still burning. Wu Qian and Liu Hui, who had been on vigil in a daze, woke up instantly, and their hands holding the rifle were trembling slightly.

If a Siberian tiger really sprang out in the middle of the night, then... Even if they win the fight, they will probably suffer heavy casualties.

"Woooo~"

The twenty or so dogs were all awake, their hair blown out, some were whimpering, and some were shaking their legs.

Just like a mouse seeing a cat, dogs are very afraid of tigers. Of course, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry. Combat power cannot be guaranteed.

Originally, Wang Hu, Wang Meng was still asleep, but suddenly there was another tiger roar, and the sound seemed to be getting closer.

"Ow~"

The tiger roared in the forest, the birds flew in fright, and the snow fell from the branches.

"What's the matter!? Is there a tiger?"

"Oops~"

Wang Hu pouted, got up abruptly and licked the wood on the top of the nest, screaming in pain.

"Pick up your rifle and come out quickly! Let the tiger block you and it's over!"

Hearing the sound of the tiger's barking came from the east, Wang Yuan and the six of them hurriedly lined up on the west side of the fire, with the dogs in front and the man bent over holding a rifle behind, the atmosphere was very tense for a while.

The fire is still burning but the range of illumination is limited. Farther away is the vast night, and the shadowy pine trees are like big monsters with teeth and claws.

Beep~
The firewood was burning and making noise, Wang Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Brother Yuan... Yuan brother, is the tiger gone? Animals are afraid of fire, so it shouldn't dare to come over, right?"

"I can't tell, just wait a little longer."

Wang Yuan's arm was also a little sore from holding the rifle for a long time, and his shortness of breath when the muzzle of the gun was slightly lowered also eased slightly.

I don't know when the tiger will come out, but this kind of exciting thing makes Wang Yuan very excited, he feels like he is sick.

Huhuhu~
The cold wind is still blowing, and a lot of snowflakes are falling from the sky. As soon as the snowflakes come into contact with the flames, they melt into water. Wang Yuan, Wang Meng, and Liu Hui who are closer to the fire are alright, but Zhuzi, Wu Qian, and Wang Hu are still alive. Soon a layer of snowflakes fell - a piece of white.

As time passed, Wang Hu was shivering from the cold. He was so anxious just now that he didn't put on his cotton shoes, and the heel of his right foot was half pulled out, and now it was frozen hard.

"Yuan...Brother Yuan, my legs are numb!"

"Oh, crooked, you are active~ Don't worry, whether the tiger will come or not has nothing to do with whether you move a few times or not."

"Oh, that's fine."

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, the fire was getting smaller and smaller, and the cold wind was getting stronger and stronger as the morning approached. Wang Yuan was shivering like his third grandson.

Even Wang Meng couldn't bear it now, and whispered: "Brother Yuan, I miss the hot kang and warm bed at home."

"Ahem, this is also one of the benefits of hunting. If you stay at home every day, you will not be able to enjoy it, but you will be annoyed. If you stay in the woods for a few days, you will know that you are at home..."

After watching for an hour, Wang Yuanjue's tiger should have left, so Liu Hui and Wu Qian were asked to continue the night watch, and the other four of them went back to the nest to sleep.

It was a peaceful night.

In the morning, when Wang Yuan opened the door, he found that Wu Qian and Liu Hui were cooking. Dried vegetables and rabbit meat were stewed in the pot, and the aroma wafted out with the heat.

"Where did you get the rabbit meat?"

"The dogs caught it just now. A silly rabbit crawled out of its den to look for food. It was jumping around and running in the south not far from us? The dogs rushed over and directly killed it. Bring it back."

Wu Qian lifted the black iron pot that was burning outside, stirred it with a spoon, and instantly the fragrance became stronger.

After drinking the delicious rabbit meat soup, everyone began to divide and cooperate—Wu Qian and Liu Hui were in charge of chopping firewood and cooking later; the dogs stayed in the camp to rest; Wang Yuan and the others divided into two groups and walked around Take a walk along the footprints on the ground to see if you can catch any prey.

Dogs are different from people. They don’t know how to absorb strength. When they have strength, they will run wildly and lie down on the ground when they have no strength. So it is better to let them rest in the camp—if they get down halfway That's bad.

Wang Yuan and Wang Hu teamed up to the west and walked on the snow for almost an hour. After turning over a beam, they found the footprints of the roe deer.

The two chased slowly without rushing, calmed down, and changed targets if they could catch up, but if they couldn't catch up, they changed their targets. As a result, after chasing out a dense pine forest, they really saw a group of silly roe deer.

There are a total of ten silly roe deer, with yellow hair and white buttocks, looking around vigilantly while digging snow and gnawing dry grass, and will immediately flee if there is any sign of trouble.

"Brother Yuan! Silly roe deer!"

"Shh~ Don't be so loud, get ready to shoot."

"Ah, let's shoot right here? It's a hundred meters away, and I feel like I can't shoot very accurately." Wang Hu scratched his head and scratched his head very uncomfortable. If he missed the shot and made all the roe deer run away, he would not be able to forgive himself.

"The pine trees in front are too sparse, even if you climb over it, it will be easy to expose... Just shoot here. You shoot the one on the right and I shoot the one on the left. Aim and listen to my count."

"Okay! I'm going to hit one head today."

Wang Hu also became ruthless, laying down on the snow and aiming quickly.

"3-2-1!"

When Wang Yuan called out 1 softly, the two shot at the same time instantly, and the bullets shot out from the muzzles and flew directly towards the group of roe deer in the distance.

bang bang~
Wang Yuan hit the head of a roe deer with one shot, and Wang Hu aimed at the head of the roe deer too, but unfortunately, his marksmanship almost hit the other roe deer's buttock - also a roe deer.

"Hit hit hit!"

Wang Hu cheered instantly, and Wang Yuan wished he could kick him for a small achievement, so he bluffed:
"You are a real tiger, hurry up and fire a second shot, you can hit one more head."

The frightened group of roe deer had already started to flee westward, and Wang Yuan fired a second shot while shouting, bang~ this time he hit a roe deer on the hind leg.

"Yo~"

The roe deer fell directly to the ground under the pain, and the snowflakes on the ground were splashing.

Wang Hu hurriedly fired the second shot, but unfortunately he didn't hit anything. After Wang Yuan took his cousin Wang Hu and ran down the hillside to fill up the guns for the stupid roe deer who were still alive, both of them laughed.

A whole three roe deer!

Enough to feed everyone and the dog for several days.

"Walk around and go back, and it's almost time for lunch when we get back to the camp."

Wang Yuan put the rifle on his shoulder, picked up the two roe deer and took the lead to walk forward. He carried the two roe deer with great strength and still walked like flying.

Wang Hu picked up the last roe deer, followed Wang Yuan's footsteps and left here.

……

As soon as Wang Yuan and the two approached the camp, the dogs ran over, smelling and smelling, especially the big wolf and the others, whistling and wagging their tails quickly.

"Go, go, don't stop me in front, this year you will also have a good fortune, and you will have roe deer meat to eat!"

"Yo~ Did you hit a roe deer? Or three?"

Before Zhuzi and Wang Meng came back, Wang Yuan and the others disposed of a roe deer and roasted the meat.

When Zhu Zi and Wang Meng came back after a while, they carried a half-sized wild boar. There was a bloody hole in the head of the hundred-pound wild boar, and it was killed with one blow.

"Who fired the gun?"

Wang Yuan looked at his cousin Wang Meng. The latter pointed at the pillar, and the pillar held his head high, with a very sullen expression on his face: "Oh, it's not far away, it's only about 200 meters away. You don't need to aim at it. Just raise your hand and shoot." Just hit it on the head."

"You blow it!"

sizzle~
Pieces of roe deer meat were grilled, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and some of them fell directly into the charcoal, stinging and stinging.

Wang Yuan took out a half-burnt piece of wood, lit a cigarette and started smoking:
"In the morning, I saw a lot of footprints of hares, pheasants, wild boars, and roe deer. It seems that there are indeed a lot of prey in this area...By the way, how much wood was trimmed in the morning?"

"It's just that pile. There are several logs that haven't been robbed yet."

Wang Yuan glanced back, the pile of wood was about the amount of ten dead trees, too little, mainly because dry wood was more laborious to saw than wet wood.

"Let's get some wet wood. It takes three wet logs to saw a dry log. It's better to be a little wet, and the fire can be burned even if it burns a little at night."

In the afternoon, everyone went to trim the wood together to prepare enough wood. The most indispensable thing in the old forest was trees, and they didn't saw too thick trees, as long as the thickness of the thigh or the mouth of a bowl was enough.

Every year, squirrels will bury a large number of pine nuts in the ground as food for winter, but squirrels have a bad memory and often forget where they hide the pine nuts, so many pine nuts will quietly germinate and slowly grow into pine trees in the next spring.

Cutting down a part of the pine tree can just make room for other small saplings.

In the evening, after eating and drinking, everyone gathered together to chat without being sleepy.

It was dark all around, but the area around Diwozi was bright, and the burning flames were 1.5 meters high. Sitting a little farther away made my forehead sweat.

The snow on the nearby ground has all melted, and the snow water has either seeped into the ground or evaporated, and some of last year's dead grass and dry tree leaves are exposed.

It's okay to be idle, so Wang Yuan split the bones of the roe deer with a knife, sprinkled them with cumin and chili powder, and roasted them on the fire.

zizizi~
The white bones were roasted until they gradually turned brown, and a faint fragrance wafted out.

"Come, eat the bone marrow of the roe deer."

After distributing the bones to everyone, everyone was full of praise and praised Wang Yuan's craftsmanship again and again.

"The hunt will officially start tomorrow, so let's rest early today."

"Okay, I saw the black blind man's footprints today, let's follow the footprints tomorrow, shall we? Chiliu~ The bear's paws are only delicious when they are roasted."

Today there is no need for Wang Yuan to watch the night, he got into the nest early and fell asleep, but the next morning he was woken up by the pillar:
"Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan wake up, something happened!"

"Ah, what's the matter?" Wang Yuan rubbed his eyes in a daze, and his heart skipped a beat when he looked at the gloomy Zhu Zhu.

After getting out of the nest, Zhu Zi took Wang Yuan to the south, and the thick snow under his feet creaked and creaked.

Wang Meng, Wang Hu and the others also followed closely, and when they bypassed a big pine tree that required two people to hug each other, a skeleton frame appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

The minced meat is red, the blood is also red, scattered, and the internal organs are scattered everywhere, which is quite scary.

"Hey, what the hell is this!"

"It looks like a deer! How did you eat it like this? Where's the deer's head?"

After searching all over the mountains, I soon found the deer head tens of meters away to the east.

Based on the footprints on the ground and the way the deer was eaten, they speculated that the leopard did it. This is not good news. It was too close to everyone's camp and everyone's hearts sank.

"Trough! We have more than 20 large hunting dogs, and we still have guns in our hands. Even if a leopard comes, we will not be afraid!"

"Be honest, leopards often engage in sneak attacks, it's better to be careful."

In order to defend against the leopards, in the afternoon, except for three people who continue to collect firewood, the rest of the people set traps around the camp and set up defensive traps-if the leopards really want to sneak attack, it will probably play some role .

Time passed, and two days passed in a blink of an eye.

The leopard did not show up, but Wang Yuan and the others, who had hunted prey for two days, harvested three and a half wild boars, but they did not encounter a group of roe deer or wild boars that could be hunted.

That night, probably because of the low temperature in the mountains and forests, a large number of snowflakes fell from the sky, and the snowflakes fell on the fire and quickly melted.

"Wang Wang~"

The dogs are always so carefree, some silly dogs jump around and bite the snowflakes with their mouths open, and the white air from their mouths slowly drifts away.

"Has the pork been roasted? Let's start eating after it's roasted?"

"Well, eat a few pieces on the right first, the meat on the left is almost interesting, oh, the millet porridge is also cooked."

After eating the delicious barbecue, and finally drinking two bowls of millet porridge, the heat spreads all over the body in an instant, and the tiredness has dissipated a lot.

"I've been busy for two days, and I'll have a day off tomorrow! The dogs are tired and need to rest."

"Okay, let's take a rest, and I just need some more firewood..." Before Wu Qian finished speaking, his whole body trembled in an instant, "Oh my god!" After yelling, he picked up his rifle and stood up , with a face full of horror, staring straight at the east.

wow~
Wang Yuan and the others also copied the guy's style, looking to the east vigilantly, but there was nothing.

The flames swayed by the cold wind, but the dogs didn't respond. Instead, they looked at Wang Yuan and the others with puzzled faces.

"Wu Qian, what did you see just now!?"

"Eyes, a pair of eyes like light bulbs... I don't know what words to describe, but they are so scary anyway, I feel like I'm going to die!"

I don't know if it was because of the heat from being too close to the fire, or because of those eyes, but Wu Qian's forehead was covered with glistening greasy sweat.

"Don't scare yourself! Hold on tight!"

Wang Yuan scolded loudly, and Wu Qian came back to his senses a little bit. When encountering a large carnivore, he should not be too cowardly psychologically. The more cowardly he is, the faster he will die.

It is even possible to be scared to death by yourself.

Of course, you still have to be cautious in your actions. Recklessness and negligence are absolutely unacceptable.

Animals are sometimes stupid, but sometimes they are smarter than human imagination. If you underestimate them, you may suffer a lot.

"boom!"

After thinking about it, Wang Yuan fired a shot in the distance. The sound of the gun was especially loud in the night, and a group of sleeping birds flew away cursing in an instant.
