Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 61 The roe deer is really stupid
Zhao Laowen, Zhang Peng and others followed the roe deer's footprints and came to a small hill in the north. The hill was not high and the slope was gentle, stretching to ten miles away.Zhang Peng and others watched as they walked, where did the roe deer go?After climbing over a large gentle slope, they saw several animals on a hilltop 600 meters away in the north. Zhang Peng and others were overjoyed. They looked like roe deer. They were probably the same roe deer that the gunner had seen before. .

The hill where these roe deer were staying was a bun-shaped mountain. In order not to disturb them, Zhang Peng and others slowed down and changed their direction. Zhao Laowen and others slowly walked towards the lower right side of the hillside.Wang Fugen took the hunting dog and walked to the lower left, waiting for Wang Fugen to take the hunting dog to drive the roe deer in the direction of Zhao Laowei.

The roe deer was still on the top of the mountain. He didn't find Zhao Laowen and the others, and he didn't run away either.After walking about 500 meters, they came to the ravine on the lower right side of the hillside. Due to the shape of the mountain, the slope at the top of the mountain was relatively large. The roe deer could no longer be seen from where Zhao Laowen and others were now.Zhao Laowen raised his hand, and everyone stopped and took the gun from their shoulders. Holding the gun with both hands, they bent over and climbed cautiously towards the top of the mountain.

Zhao Laowen, Zhang Peng and others searched ahead with their eyes as they walked, not daring to breathe heavily. The higher they walked, the taller the withered grass became, but they could not see the roe deer.After about ten minutes, everyone finally climbed to the top of the hill, but still no roe deer was found. Zhao Laowen straightened up and looked around. Zhang Peng thought that the roe deer had discovered them before and ran away from the left first. ? , but it shouldn’t be. On the left is Wang Fugen’s dog gang.

When Zhang Peng was wondering what was going on, his eyes suddenly lit up. Zhang Peng saw where they were standing, about thirty meters in front of them, in the withered grass. There were several roe deer all lying in the withered grass. He could only I saw that some of them had bifurcated horns on their heads. They should be those roe deer. These roe deer were well hidden and similar in color to withered grass. It was really difficult to spot them.

Zhang Peng quickly touched Zhao Laowen with his arm, and then turned his head in the direction of the roe deer. Zhao Laowen understood this and looked in that direction. After seeing clearly, his face lit up with joy. He quickly raised his gun, pulled the bolt, and followed. There was a clanging sound as everyone pulled the bolts of their guns, standing in unison, aiming in the direction of the roe deer, waiting for Wang Fugen's dog gang to drive them away.

Suddenly, a dog barking came from the left. The roe deer were frightened and all of a sudden they stood up. Under the leadership of the leading roe deer, they ran away one by one to the right of the crowd, jumping as they ran.

Although these roe deer reacted so quickly, Zhang Peng and others had already taken aim. Zhang Peng held the gun in his left hand, with his right index finger on the trigger. He raised the gun and aimed with the beating of the roe deer, and pulled the trigger. The gunshot fired, and the roe deer fell down. Other gunners also pulled the triggers one after another, and the roe deer fell down one after another. Only the last one ran down the steep slope on the right side of the mountain.The roe deer ran in the direction that Zhang Peng and others had just climbed up. The roe deer ran down the steep slope and suddenly stopped, tilting its head and looking at Zhang Peng and others. At this time, Zhang Peng and others only had one thing to say: This Roe deer is really stupid.

Zhao Laowen seemed to be used to it. He took aim and shot down the last roe deer. This time he harvested seven roe deer. Together with yesterday's wild boar, the harvest this winter was already very good.

They disemboweled the body, fed it to the hunting dog, and worshiped the mountain god. The hunting dog had eaten and drank enough in the past two days. It had eaten its internal organs for two days in a row, and its stomachs were all bulging.

Everyone gathered around and roasted the roe deer meat happily. The hunting dogs were all full and lay down next to them. There was laughter and laughter for a while, and they were all celebrating the victory.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. Let me say a few words first. Everyone has worked hard these past two days. After these two days of continuous high-intensity hunting, I see that everyone is very tired, and the hounds are the same, so I decided that tomorrow Let’s rest for a day and set off back to the village the day after tomorrow.”

After Zhao Laowen finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and everyone agreed. Indeed, they were exhausted from the two days of continuous mountain climbing and hunting. They could no longer continue hunting, even if they could stand the hunting dogs.

In this way, Zhao Laowen ordered everyone to carry the roe deer back, and then he took the lead in carrying the roe deer and walked forward, while the gunners carried the rest to Xuewozi.

When everyone returned to Xuewozi, Zhao Laowen ordered Liu Zhiyong to go back to Cui Weixing, tell him about their current situation, and ask him to prepare a carriage so that when the prey comes down the mountain, they can use the carriage to pull them back to the village. If they let them It would be unrealistic to carry all these things back.After Liu Zhiyong set off, the rest of the time became much easier. Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming planned to go out for a walk together and search nearby to see if they could find any more traces, so as to provide them with information for their own hunting. Some clues.

The road in winter is really difficult. Zhao Chunming complained about it while walking. Zhang Peng took him up the mountain. There would be much less snow on the mountain, and it would be easier to find traces of prey on the ridge.

Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming stopped to observe, and vaguely noticed traces of animal activity not far away. A series of footprints were particularly obvious in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a wolf, but the prints were a little blurry. Zhang Peng and the two hurriedly Follow these footprints forward. Since there are wolves, it means there must be prey nearby. Maybe this is another big harvest.

The two of them walked for about half an hour looking for footprints, and then they saw something happening in front of them. The two of them quickly lowered their bodies and slowly moved forward. When they were close enough, Zhang Peng and his two men slowly straightened up and used the big tree as cover. Look to the situation ahead.I saw that the ground in front was a mess, as if something had gone through a struggle, but now there was no sign of the struggle.

Zhang Peng and the two stepped forward and looked at the traces on the ground. Zhang Peng squatted down and picked up the fallen hair on the ground. The dark yellow hair looked like it belonged to a carnivore.

"Second brother, what is this?"

Zhao Chunming also looked at the hair in Zhang Peng's hand curiously, and then looked around again. He felt that it should be a meat-eating thing, but he was not sure what it was.

"The hair looks like that of a roe deer. It seems that a small roe deer was killed. Although the footprints on the ground are messy, you can still see some marks."

Zhang Peng rubbed his hair with his fingers, then looked around and found dragging traces heading towards the east mountain.

"Shanlizi? Then let's catch up quickly,"

Zhao Chunming immediately picked up his gun and wanted to chase in the direction of the trace. This mountain raccoon was not common, and it was usually considered a dragon that never saw its end.

Zhang Peng was not in a hurry. He had been leaving for some time after watching the situation. With Shanlizi's intelligence, there would be no gain in chasing him now. As expected, when the two of them reached the hillside, there were a bunch of people blocking them. The traces of the rocks disappeared here. Zhao Chunming felt very frustrated, while Zhang Peng felt that this was a normal state. If it was so easy to find, how could Shan Lizi become one of the top hunters in the mountains.
