Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 89 Looking for Shanlizi ([-])

"Second uncle, there's nothing we can do about it. Although our gunners are very experienced, this leopard is really elusive. Is it reasonable that we didn't hit it? There's no trace at all on the back?"

Zhang Peng asked curiously. This kind of situation is rare. Since he knows his grandfather and has received guidance, he should have some experience in tracking, and the leading gunner seems to be from the older generation. Although I know it will escape, at least it will leave some traces. This leopard is really a thief.

"No, it's really strange. We searched all over, and the footprints suddenly broke off. We also thought that maybe we climbed a tree and ran away, but we still didn't find any traces. We couldn't find even a single footprint. It seemed like we were flying away. Like the ground”

"Oh, this is a real thief, otherwise he wouldn't be so difficult to beat."

Zhang Peng echoed what Li Chunmei and her second uncle said. Zhang Peng analyzed that there are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that it climbed a tree, and the second is that it escaped to the ground.And Zhang Peng is more inclined to escape from the ground. The cunning rabbit still has three caves. It must have its own method. This is another clue. Lan Guihua has been asked to pay attention. If they still haven't hit it, they will ask Zhang Peng and the others. Take action.

After chatting, Zhang Peng set off to go home. Although Li Chunmei was a little reluctant to leave, there was no way. Zhang Peng was not in a time when children were in love. It was still very important to accumulate initial funds. When the funds were earned this year, next year He was about to get a wife, and Li Chunmei still had to have a good financial foundation when she got home.

When Zhang Peng got home, it was already afternoon. Zhang Peng remembered the agreement with Zhao Chunming. When he arrived at Zhao Chunming's house, he saw three puppies walking around Zhao Chunming, having a lot of fun.

"Second brother, you are back. I am training a puppy. Take a look."

Zhang Peng was a little speechless. What kind of training are you doing? You were just playing with me. He didn’t say much. He didn’t see Li Cuihua when he entered the room, so he asked Zhao Chunming where his aunt was. Zhao Chunming said she was in Zhang Peng. I was chatting with Wang Xiufen at Peng's house.

"Chunming, didn't you say you were going to get some fish yesterday? Let's go now?"

"Second brother, let's not go now. I told Xiaoli that we are going up the mountain tomorrow. We have a day off today and he just happens to spend some time with his grandma." Zhao Chunming was still teasing the three puppies on the ground, and then He raised his head and said to Zhang Peng
"Well, that's fine. Let's have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go up the mountain to search for a few days and check the situation. It is estimated that the time will not be short. We have arranged all the things at home and we can go up the mountain without worry."

After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he mentioned to Zhao Chunming that he met his second uncle at Li Chunmei's house today and learned about the leopard. This was an important clue and they would still have to look for it later.

"Leopard? This is rare, second brother"

When he heard that there was a leopard, Zhao Chunming immediately put down the puppy in his hand, and then came to Zhang Peng's side. He was very interested and wanted Zhang Peng to explain it in detail.

"We still need to discuss this matter in the long term. I think we should wait for this leopard. We should get the mountain civet first, and then go ahead depending on the situation. So many gunners were not captured, and a hunting dog was lost. It just shows how difficult things are.”

Then the two discussed tomorrow's affairs for a while, and Zhang Peng went home to prepare the equipment for tomorrow's hike up the mountain.There was nothing to say all night. Zhang Peng got up early the next day, got dressed, ate something casually, then cooked some corn noodles, took the necessary items, and went to the yard. It was not yet bright, and the rhubarb and the small When Hong saw Zhang Peng coming out with the equipment, she knew she was going up the mountain. She was jumping up and down excitedly. Because she was going up the mountain, she didn't feed them more. After feeding Rhubarb and Xiao Hong, she saw Zhao Chunming's house. The door was pushed open, and Zhao Chunming had already dressed and walked out.

Seeing Zhang Peng in the yard, he quickly climbed over the wall, untied Da Huang and Xiao Hong, then led them out of the yard and walked towards Wang Xiaoli's home.

When the two of them walked to Wang Xiaoli's house, they saw Wang Xiaoli's grandma collecting firewood in the yard, apparently going back to burn the kang.

"Grandma, it's so early. Pack your things. We are here."

Zhang Peng said hello and saw Wang Xiaoli's grandmother holding firewood, then ran over to help grab the firewood from her arms and walked inside.

"Haha, the second son and Zhang Xiaoer are here. The eldest grandson is up and waiting for you at home." Grandma Wang Xiaoli said with a smile.
Zhang Peng then helped carry the firewood in, but Zhao Chunming did not follow. He took care of Dahuang and Xiaohong outside, waiting for them to come out together.

After a while, Zhang Peng and Wang Xiaoli walked out. The winter morning was still relatively cold, so Zhao Chunming didn't let Zhao Chunming wait outside. After they came out, Wang Xiaoli and Zhao Chunming said hello, and the three of them walked out of the yard together and walked towards Go to the destination.

When the group of them arrived at the place where the old car was talking about, they started searching separately, but found no obvious traces of mountain raccoons, but it was normal here. It had been a few days, and even if there were footprints, they were covered up by the wind and snow. , but Zhang Peng carefully discovered that there was a string of similar footprints leading deep into the mountain.

Zhang Peng called the two of them over, then pointed to the shallow traces on the ground, and discussed the solution together, while Dahuang and Xiaohong smelled the footprints on the ground, maybe because it had been a long time, and there was no special reaction.

The three people discussed for a while, and then followed the shallow footprints towards the depths. Along the way, neither Dahuang nor Xiaohong had any reaction. Only Xiaohong stopped from time to time, sniffing here and there, and it was obvious at this time. The difference between Rhubarb and Xiaohong is that the fragrance of Rhubarb is obviously much better, while that of Xiaohong is worse.

The three of Zhang Peng walked for about an hour. They were already very far away, and there were no traces of the footprints on the ground. Now the three of them were walking forward based on their feelings. At this time, Dahuang finally spoke, and Wang Xiaoli quickly let go. Before Dahuang and Xiaohong went up the mountain, Wang Xiaoli took the rope and was responsible for holding Dahuang and Xiaohong, while Zhang Peng and Zhang Peng were on guard with guns on their backs.

After Dahuang yelled, he took Xiaohong and ran towards the left front. The three of them were also a little surprised. Are they so lucky?They found something so quickly. When they ran to the place where Dahuang and Xiaohong were shouting, they found that a small roe deer had been pushed to the ground by Dahuang, while Xiaohong was biting the little roe deer's throat.

Although it was a bit regretful, it was always a gain, so I didn’t think much about it and walked forward to drive away Dahuang and Xiaohong. I picked up the roe deer, fed the heart to Dahuang, and fed the other things to Xiaohong. The intestines were hung on the tree.

Then Zhao Chunming picked up the little roe deer and continued walking forward. Fortunately, he had enough food for the past few days. After walking forward for half an hour, the three of them found nothing, so they were not ready to continue forward. We have already gone very deep. It is important to pack up a shelter first. After all, we will stay in the mountains for a few days.
