Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 62 Zhao Laowen hunts mountain lizards

Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming then returned to Xuewozi. Although they didn't find anything, it was good to see Shanlizi's whereabouts. When they had the opportunity, they still wanted to try their luck. Shanlizi Skin is very expensive now, and Zhang Peng has a way to get it, but this time period is not suitable.

Zhao Laowen was smoking a big pipe in the camp. He looked up and saw the two people coming back. When he saw that his hands were empty, he knew that there was nothing gained and he didn't care. This was a normal situation. It would be abnormal if he gained something after going out once.Like Zhang Peng and Zhang Peng, the others also went out to look for traces of prey. They haven't come back yet, so Zhang Peng and two of them came back early.

"Uncle, we are back"

Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming said hello, and then sat around Zhao Laowen, stretching out their hands to warm themselves over the fire. This mountain climbing was tiring, so they took a rest and waited for the others to come back.

"You're back, it seems you didn't find anything?"

"We have found no trace of Shanlizi, but we found it a bit late. Shanlizi ran away long ago," Zhao Chunming replied straightforwardly.
"Haha, how can that mountain civet be so easy to catch? I have caught a few mountain civets before. That thing is too smart and flexible. It is really difficult to fight." Zhao Laowen said to the two of them.
"Uncle, tell us what to do with that thing."

Zhao Chunming hurriedly said to Zhao Laowen, and at the same time turned his head and winked at Zhang Peng, hoping that Zhang Peng could also ask. After all, this is all experience, and it will be easier to get it next time he encounters it.

"Ahem, that was a few years ago. I was walking around by myself, and that day I met a mountain civet on the mountain. Although they are very ferocious, pheasants and roe deer can't escape from its mouth. It seems to be easy to touch. Yes, in fact, mountain cats are just like wild cats. Their whereabouts are very hidden, and usually, they have already seen you, but you have not noticed them at all. They are lurking in the mountains and forests, watching you quietly. No movement, when you see it, it will quickly run away and not interact too much with humans. This is the way for the mountain raccoon to survive."

Zhao Laowen paused for a moment, then took a puff of cigarette, and then continued.
"I discovered this mountain raccoon by chance. It was preparing to catch young roe deer at the time. I quietly observed it next to it. It was very patient when catching. It lurked in places where roe deer often hang out, and could often be found in one place. It lies quietly for several days and nights, waiting until the prey comes close to its attack range, and then it will quickly attack. This time, a roe deer passed along the animal path, and then the mountain roe deer jumped out quickly. Before the roe deer was prepared, it Before it could react, I aimed at the roe deer's throat and bit it down. The kill was quite impressive, but it didn't know that I was behind it. When it picked up the roe deer, I saw the opportunity and shot it. "

When Zhao Laowen said this, he also smiled proudly, and then looked at Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming. Judging from his expressions, he was waiting for them to compliment him.

Zhao Chunming didn't think anything of it, it didn't feel exciting at all. It was promised that Zhao Laowen would fight Shan Lizi. He had imagined the bloody scene in his head, but this was the result. He had no choice but to film it perfunctorily. He clapped his hands and said, "Uncle, you are awesome."

But only Zhang Peng understood the meaning of this. First of all, the mountain raccoon was so easy to encounter, and Zhao Laowen also knew where the mountain raccoon was hiding to hunt roe deer. Zhao Laowen was really lucky.

Zhang Peng went up the mountain for so long in his last life, and happened to see mountain raccoons twice. The other times he didn't even see a hair. Their whereabouts are very hidden. Before you find them, they will always Spot you and then avoid you in advance.But Zhao Laowen told them that the key to ambushing behind Shanlizi was eyesight. Shanlizi's fur was integrated with the environment. Being able to spot Shanlizi was a test of the gunner's eyesight, and Discovering the mountain raccoons is the first thing.

The second is action, that is, the action must be agile, not make a big noise, and move forward like a cat, so that the mountain raccoon with keen hearing cannot detect it.

The third is smell. Covering up smell is something that old mountain hunters often do, especially those with a particularly sensitive sense of smell like mountain lizards. They must cover up their own smell. Since Zhao Laowen can see mountain lizards hunting roe deer, then It means that he is not far away from Shanlizi, but now there are indeed fewer and fewer people who know this skill, because the older generation needs knives to hunt, and they have to get as close to the prey as possible, but now that they have guns, it is much easier Increased hunting distance.

These items are the key to what Zhao Laowen just said. It seems very easy. In the eyes of others, it is just a matter of shooting the prey in the back. I feel that anyone can do it. Only real gunners and those who have hunted mountain raccoons can do it. I know how difficult this is.

Zhang Peng admired Zhao Laowen very much in his heart. Being able to defeat Shanlizi really required the perfect coordination of his own abilities and various skills to succeed.

While they were chatting, people from the hunting team also returned one after another. It seemed that they had gained nothing, but it was unclear whether it was true or false. No one was willing to share the prey they could catch with everyone, but in fact, in winter The two group hunts in Wei were more like a time for everyone to show themselves, and they could get to know each other and gain respect from the gunners in the village, so that they would not recognize each other when they met in the future, and everyone would not cause conflicts again.

Zhao Laowen saw that everyone was back and it was getting dark, so he ordered Zhao Peng and others to cut off a piece of roe deer meat.Then he cut it into slices and grilled the meat. Then he took out the small roast he brought and shared a little bit with each person. It was a celebration of the end of the first winter hunt and recognition of the hunting team members from him.

In the morning of the next day, Liu Zhiyong came back and brought Cui Weixing and others. When he saw everyone, Cui Weixing first greeted everyone, and then checked the harvest. He saw that he could get such a large amount for his first hunting. The meat is also extremely happy.

In fact, the reason why Cui Weixing did not lead the team this time was because he met his old comrades by chance. After the two arrived in the city, the comrades agreed to help with the operation and they might be able to be transferred back to the city. This is a big deal, but Cui Weixing's His comrades also said that if he wanted to achieve some results, he would have to work hard. The best opportunity in front of him now was Dongwei.

As long as he can complete the target, and preferably exceed the original target, then he will have a high probability of returning to the city. This is a major event for him in the future, so the more prey he can get now, the better.

After Cui Weixing encouraged the hunting team a few words, he took action himself and followed the others to lift the prey onto the carriage and transport it back to the village.
