Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 33 Hunting Yellow Deer (for further reading)

Originally Gao Zhuang wanted to go too, but was stopped by Gao Mingcheng. Being stung by a bee is not a fun thing.

The little grandma was also afraid that something would happen to Gao Zhuang, so she told him not to go, and also told Gao Mingcheng to be more careful, just dig out the beehive, and don't mess with the hornets.

Hornets do not produce honey, and they are very fierce.

"Understood." Gao Mingcheng left a sentence, and the man had disappeared.

He dug out one side of the mountain last time, and this time he changed to another side. After entering the mountain, the shade of the trees brought a cool feeling, which gradually dissipated the heat on his body.

Gao Mingcheng began to follow the places where flowers bloom. Where there are flowers, there must be bees. Where there are bees, there must be beehives nearby.

He has his own way of looking for beehives, and it works very well.

This time, he found more than a dozen beehives, most of them were on trees, and the smaller half were underground, to be precise, in the cracks of earth and rocks underground. The nests built by bees here have a characteristic, that is, they are exposed There are not many honeycombs coming, but there are still many in the crevices of the earth and rocks, and the honey is usually hidden in the innermost part.

In this case, you can only use a small hoe to dig out all the earth and rocks near the hive. However, digging from the front is a large project and is easy to be retaliated by bees. At this time, you should observe the environment and be able to dig from the back. To dig, just dig directly from the back. After digging the hive, cut off more than half of the hive and take it away.

It is impossible to remove all the honeycombs.

Should go the route of sustainable development!

Before the afternoon was over, the bucket brought by Gao Mingcheng was already full.

Now that there is no container left, Gao Mingcheng is not greedy any more. He returned to Grandma's house with a bucket of bees. He looked at the sky and found that it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, so he didn't deal with the bees for the time being. Cover it to prevent insects and ants from getting in and spoiling things.

Carrying an empty bag, he walked towards Niuwei Ridge. He also wanted to check on the situation of the three people and bring back some prey in the mountains.

It is also fortunate that his physical fitness has been strengthened, otherwise, he would not be able to travel to so many places and do so many things in a short period of time.

After entering Niuwei Ridge, he quickly found the trail of the father and son. At this time, they had dispersed, and the three of them were searching for traces of the ancient tomb in the forest.

After Gao Mingcheng made sure that they hadn't found the ancient tomb yet, he left quietly.

He had just left the vicinity of the ancient tomb when he encountered a herd of wild boars.

Wild boars are animals that live in families. Therefore, when you see wild boars, it is basically a group of wild boars, ranging from seven or eight to as many as twenty or thirty. These wild boars are extremely domineering in the mountains and forests. As omnivores, they can eat It eats delicious wild vegetables and fruits, and also attacks some small animals, and even eats snakes, even poisonous snakes.

When they are full, there are some special entertainment items, such as rolling in the mud and covering their bodies with a layer of mud. After the mud hardens, it can effectively prevent mosquito bites.

Adult wild boars, especially male wild boars, can also play the game of hitting trees one by one, and they never get tired of it. Sometimes wild boars will roar in the mountains and run rampant in groups and pairs in the mountains and forests.

The group of wild boars that Gao Mingcheng saw were running happily in the valley, making great noises.

Although there are many mountains here, there are few large carnivores. In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng had never heard of tigers and leopards in the mountains.

Without the threat of these natural enemies, wild boars dominate the mountains and forests, and they multiply quickly. Every winter, wild boars can be seen going down the mountain to look for food. At this time, some radishes and cabbages planted at the foot of the mountain will suffer.

Gao Mingcheng stood on the hillside, looking at the herd of wild boars roaring away in the valley, his eyes were full of covetousness.

As long as he has a gun in his hand, he can leave a wild boar!
After you give Gao Guobing the credit for the tomb robber, you must get a gun from Gao Guobing!
Gao Mingcheng thought to himself, and left with great regret.

Xu went deep into the mountain. Along the way, he encountered many rare animals, such as foxes, macaques, deer, etc., and he also saw a group of golden pheasants perched on the branches. The tail feathers were so beautiful that even Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but take a second look.

But, he wasn't moved.

Although the golden pheasant is beautiful, it does not have much meat, and it is not easy to hunt.

Now he just wants to eat meat and nothing else.

Maybe God still favored him, but he actually saw a yellow muntjac!
Yellow muntjac is also a kind of deer, and it is a very large one. They usually have a body length of about 1 meter, a tail length of 17-21 cm, and a weight of 25-30 kg.It is a solitary animal with timid and cautious habits. It mostly forages at night or in the morning and dusk, and rests hidden in the bushes during the day.

It was dusk now, so Gao Mingcheng was lucky to see a yellow deer eating twigs in a bush.

The yellow deer has a strong reproductive ability, so there are not a lot of them in this mountain. Although in later generations, the yellow deer has been mixed into a protected animal, but now it is 1986. One has not confiscated shotguns and has not banned hunting. era!

Finding prey is only the first step in hunting.

Next, Gao Mingcheng needs to think about how to get Huang Ji. First, he doesn't have a shotgun, so he can't attack from a distance. Secondly, he doesn't have a knife, so he can't fight in close quarters. Besides, Huang Ji is very timid, so he can't move at all. , they will run away in fright.

Looking at it this way, he doesn't seem to have much advantage.

But Gao Mingcheng didn't give up because of this, he was always willing to put in some effort in order to eat meat.

I saw him running towards the yellow deer without any cover. The yellow deer was eating twigs. After hearing the movement, he ran away, running very fast, and disappeared after a while.

At this time, Gao Mingcheng did not continue to chase.

He stood at the place where the yellow deer was eating the twigs of the shrubs, looked around, then chose a more secluded place to squat down, and picked up a few hard stones.

He just waited quietly, and after about 10 minutes, the frightened yellow deer came back.

This is a unique survival habit of yellow deer. Their range of activities is very fixed. When they are hunted and escaped, no matter how far they run, they will eventually return to their original range of activities.

After Gao Mingcheng stopped chasing, Huang Ji who ran out realized that there was no danger, so he would choose to come back.

At this time, it returned to the place where it ate the twigs, and began to chew with big mouthfuls. After a while, it seemed to be full, so it slowed down its chewing movements, and its hind legs knelt on the ground, and began to rest.

Gao Mingcheng, who was hiding in the dark, held his breath and didn't make the slightest movement, but there was a gleam in his eyes, because he knew the time had come!
