Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 170
In the next few days, Gao Mingcheng went into the mountains to shake honey while inspecting his hunting grounds.

It is said to be a hunting ground, but the frequency of his hunting is not high. He basically only cares about eating for himself, and rarely sells it for money. What he wants to take is the route of sustainable development.

The intertwining of fate is sometimes very strange. He just brought back twenty throwing knives from the blacksmith Lao Li the day before, but he found something moving in the mountains the next day!
It happened that there was a light rain that night, and the ground was a little wet the next day, but Gao Mingcheng went into the mountains to inspect as usual. What he valued most was the mountain range where he hunted the bear.

The cub escaped, but it might not go far. After all, it was still young, and unless it was attacked by other predatory beasts, it should still be in that mountain.

Gao Mingcheng stared at the shoe prints left on a piece of grass, his face sank.

He stood on a high place, looked around, and judged that the outsider should have entered the mountain range from Kengli Village.

There are no strangers in Gaojia Village recently, and with him guarding the foot of Niuwei Ridge, no one will be allowed to enter the mountain.

This piece of mountains stretches continuously, with overlapping peaks and peaks, one after another, among which there are mountain springs, ditches, and depressions, and the species are rich and colorful.

But this mountain range covers a wide area, but there are countless entrances that can enter the mountain. Almost all the villages on their side are located at the foot of the mountain. If you enter the mountain from any village, as long as you keep walking towards the deep mountain, you will eventually come here From the mountains.

Compared with other people, Gao Mingcheng's biggest advantage is that he has good physical fitness and runs fast. He can go back and forth to the deep mountains every day, while ordinary people may take two days to enter the mountains from the foot of the mountain come.

In addition to the footprints on the grass, there were also two biscuit packaging bags discarded here. Obviously, the group stopped here for a while and ate the biscuits.

Since discovering the traces of outsiders, Gao Mingcheng began to hide his whereabouts, and no longer wandered openly in the mountains and forests.

He followed the footprints and tracked all the way.

After walking for nearly half an hour, he found the group of people again. At this time, he was hiding behind a cluster of low bushes, looking at the people in the woodland ahead.

There were three people and a hound over there, and two of them were elderly with two shotguns. They were shotguns filled with gunpowder and filled with iron sand and steel balls. They were much more lethal than lead bullets.

Not to mention hunting, even people can be killed.

In addition to the two shotguns, one of them had a pistol pinned to his waist. Gao Mingcheng carefully identified it and recognized it as a revolver.

The revolver has the advantages of low failure rate, rapid shooting, simple structure and easy operation, and low accidental injury rate, but it also has disadvantages at the same time, that is, less ammunition, short range, and low lethality.

But for novice gunmen, the revolver has another advantage, that is, it is quick to learn, and it only takes a few days of training to be able to use the revolver well.

The three of them were all carrying backpacks and walked one after another. They all looked around, as if they were looking for something.

At this time, the young man with a revolver walking in the middle said, "Uncle Ma, have you found any traces of the black bear? It's been the third day since we entered the mountain, and we haven't even seen a single bear hair!"

There was a trace of complaint in his tone of voice, but the other two men with shotguns were not angry about it, which clearly showed that his status was higher than the other two.

Those two are brothers, and their ancestors were hunters. When they arrived, they also relied on hunting for a living, but they only hunted wild boars, yellow muntjacs, hares, pheasants, etc. After all, there were no other large beasts in the mountains on their side. .

As for the black bears, as early as more than ten years ago, they teamed up with other people and fought one end.

But later, there were almost no traces of black bears. This time, someone still found the two brothers and asked them to accompany them into the mountains to hunt bears.

The two thought they were joking. They hadn't seen a black bear for almost 20 years. Now they went into the mountains to hunt bears?But soon, they knew that someone had hunted a black bear in the mountains and sold it in the county!

And there was a promise that as long as the Ma brothers brought people into the mountains to hunt bears, no matter whether they were caught or not, they would pay the Ma brothers a lot of hard work. If they did, they could also buy the black bear from the Ma brothers.

Upon hearing this, the Ma brothers agreed.

This is a job, earning two jobs, who wouldn't like it?

"Mr. Luo, don't worry, the number of black bears here is small, and it's normal that they are hard to find. If you really can't find a black bear, how about our two brothers taking you to hunt wild boars and yellow deer?" The boss said, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

However, the proud Mr. Luo was not satisfied. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "What's the point of hunting wild boars? I want to hunt bears!"

"Okay, bear hunting! The people on Mr. Luo's side said that the black bears should have been caught in this mountain range, so let's be patient and continue to look for it. Hunting in the mountains is no more expensive than hunting in a farm. A lot of time and effort."

The Ma brothers persuaded them a few words, and then continued to actively search for the traces left by the black bear.

Black bears are a species that sleeps during the day and is active at night, so once they see caves or tree holes, they will go in and take a look.

Suddenly, the hound they brought seemed to have discovered something, sniffing the scent all the way, barking and running into a cave, and barking at the cave.

The two Ma brothers immediately got into the cave. The cave was empty, but there were lying marks on the ground and some feces.

"Mr. Luo, come and see! The black bear has stayed in this cave! You see, this pile of feces is left by the black bear! But it looks like it has been there for at least a month."

"The cave has been abandoned, but the bears must still be in the mountains!"

"There are indeed black bears in this mountain!" Finally, there was progress, and Mr. Luo was instantly happy.

He urged: "Great, then let's go find the black bear!"

This little discovery made all three of them ecstatic.

Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng, who was following behind, frowned tightly. He knew that it was time for him to act!
Is it ruthless or lenient?
Gao Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, and a stern look gradually appeared in his eyes.

He was hiding in the dark, holding a small knife in his hand, and staring at the hat on Mr. Luo's head.

It was an army green peaked cap, which could serve as a sunshade and protect the eyes from the strong light outdoors. At this moment, this hat was Gao Mingcheng's goal!

He had practiced javelins, blunderbusses, and knives before, and he already had a certain amount of experience in aiming at the head.

He secretly moved his wrist, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, the knife in his hand came out and shot forward quickly, making a slight sound of breaking through the air.
