Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 95 It’s really not normal
"Second brother, what you said makes sense. I really didn't pay attention. So what is going on? Could it be that the meat-eaters ambushed you somewhere in front?"

"Well, that's possible, but I'm also worried about whether something is chasing these things, causing them to gather."

Zhang Peng silently stirred the fire with branches, hoping to let some air under the fire and make the flames bigger.
Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli were both a little surprised when they heard Zhang Peng's words. They looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces.
"No way, second brother, how big a group of meat-eaters would it take to gather them together? If there aren't a hundred and eighty of them, it would probably be too much, right?"

"Haha, there shouldn't be that many. You have to think that their purpose is just to chase, not to hunt, so they only need to be driven away, so one or two will be enough."

Zhang Peng analyzed it, then demonstrated it on the ground, and finally concluded that a pack of up to twenty wolves could drive these prey in the direction they wanted to go.
"That's troublesome, second brother, aren't we also in the encirclement?" Wang Xiaoli said worriedly

"Well, in theory, that's the case, but it's not necessarily true. After all, we are not at their final point, so at most we are on the periphery, and there is no big danger."

Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. When they first heard that the prey was being driven away, they were also startled, thinking that they were all surrounded. That was not good news. It was easy for them to be driven away. Make dumplings.
Now it seems that there is no danger, but if you want to knock off that piece of fat, you must actively enter the encirclement. This is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Knowing that the front is a tiger's mouth and still sending it inside, even Zhao Chunming was a little frightened.
"It's okay, don't worry. We're not in any danger for the time being. I'm thinking about how we can make a sneak attack. Although we can survive the frontal attack, we can just eat some leftovers."

Zhang Peng said with a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli also laughed after hearing this, which slightly relieved the tense atmosphere just now. Even though it was not a head-on confrontation, there was still no problem in conducting sneak attacks.
Although Zhang Peng said this, he was actually a little worried. After all, Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli both trusted him and followed him to hunt. If it was just him, then he would definitely have a way to escape unscathed. At worst, he would just fight some stragglers on the outside. of.
But the current situation is that three people are stepping forward together. Any hasty and risky decision may cause a family to suffer a bolt from the blue and make them miserable.
This is also one of the factors that makes Zhang Peng difficult to make up his mind. Of course, everyone hopes to make money safely, but once an accident occurs, it will be fatal. Therefore, there are very few gunners in the village, and they all earn a living with their heads in their belts.
Zhang Peng felt that it was better to be more cautious and not be too aggressive, so he decided to wait and see for the time being. The final destination of the encirclement was still far away from them. Now they no longer had to worry about attacks. After all, the focus was on the other side.
"Then let's be steady first. Let's take a walk around the area tomorrow, and then we'll see if we fight or not, depending on the situation." Zhang Peng said to Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli

"Okay, second brother, we listen to you," Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli said together

Then the three of them lay down and prepared to rest. However, they couldn't sleep after the shock just now, so they chatted for a while and then fell asleep in a daze.
When he got up in the morning, Zhang Peng heated up the leftover roe deer meat he had eaten yesterday, then chopped some roe deer meat and fed it to Dahuang and Xiaohong. He poured some roe deer meat cooking soup into a lunch box made of birch bark and gave it to They add some salt.
After Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli got up, the three of them finished breakfast and took Dahuang and Xiaohong on the road. Today they mainly walked around the surrounding area to see if it was like what they thought it would be last night.
As the three of them continued walking along the mountainside, they could occasionally see traces of some small animals on the road, but no traces of meat-eating claws were found.
After the three people descended a little further, they finally found traces between the foot of the mountain and the mountainside. The traces were very messy, but it could be seen that there were not many meat eaters, and there were no traces of an attack.
Judging from the situation at the scene, I just ran after the traces of the prey for a while, then stopped and walked towards the other side.
Zhang Peng also continued to move forward along the traces, but soon found traces in another place, but the traces were more messy, as if there were still human footprints in them.
The three of them looked at each other, could there be other gunners coming up the mountain?Could it be that he broke into the encirclement?
It's just that now the three of them are hesitant to continue walking forward. If they go forward, they will easily fall into the encirclement. That would be like eating arsenic - seeking death.
Going up the mountain is like this, you don't know what you will encounter, and this is where the danger lies. After the three people discussed it, they all agreed that they should go and have a look, and slowly move forward. If they encounter him, they will persuade him to come back. If he doesn't, That means his life is bad.
They continued to move forward slowly for about half an hour. Dahuang and Xiaohong noticed something unusual. Zhang Peng and the other three saw what looked like an animal lying in front of them. Dahuang and Xiaohong also ran over first, and the animals above also He stood up alertly.
Then there was a confrontation, and when the three of them got closer, they discovered that they were actually a blue wild wolf and a jackal, and they happened to be confronting Da Huang and Xiao Hong again.
Neither side started fighting, they just lay down and roared in a low voice, as if they were concerned about the strength of the other side.
At this time, the jackals barked loudly twice, and several more jackals were seen running over not far away, howling at Xiao Hong, as if to condemn Xiao Hong's betrayal.
Before Xiaohong could react, Dahuang stopped. Is this because he wanted to bully my family?Then it screamed crazily. If it weren't for the wild wolf, Rhubarb would have rushed up long ago. But now it is waiting for the arrival of Zhang Peng and the others. Otherwise, it will suffer a loss if it rushes over now, but it is still ready to launch at any time. attack.
When the three of Zhang Peng were still five or sixty meters away, Zhang Peng took the lead in picking up the gun, loaded the bullet, and aimed at the jackals on the outermost edge. When Zhang Peng saw that the jackals were clearly dominant in number, he fired He took the lead in launching the attack, fearing that the wild wolves and jackals would suddenly swarm him.
Dahuang and Xiaohong will definitely suffer. They can't beat each other at all. Once a melee breaks out, it will be difficult to shoot. There is still a chance now.
As the gunfire rang out, the outermost jackals immediately fell to the ground in circles and howled. The other jackals and wild wolves were frightened and quickly turned around and fled. Dahuang and Xiaohong stepped forward to keep the wild wolf. The other jackals also fled in panic.
Zhao Chunming did not dare to shoot. Only Zhang Peng dared to shoot from such a distance. He was not so confident in his shooting skills, so he just popped out the bayonet and prepared to get closer to deal with them.
