Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 287 Greyhound Tiancangzi

Mu Xueli also didn't expect that he would hit the squirrel with Wang An's slingshot this time.

This made Mu Xuelia suddenly realize that her behavior was no less than a slap in the face of her brother-in-law.

So Mu Xueli looked at the frowning Wang An and said:
"Brother-in-law, I have to say that I didn't know I would be hit, do you believe it?"

Wang An was stunned when he heard this, but he understood what his brother-in-law meant.

While changing back to his slingshot, he said with a smile: "I believe it, hahaha."

After Wang An got back his slingshot, he turned around and continued to look for the little squirrel.

Mu Xueli looked at Wang An's back in confusion, and suddenly realized that her brother-in-law was sometimes not very cautious!

Wang Li saw Mu Xueli knocking down the little squirrel with a slingshot, so he ran over and picked up the little squirrel.

Then he said in a low voice: "Brother Mu, can you teach me how to shoot a slingshot?"

After all, a slingshot is different from a gun. There are too many factors that affect the hit rate of this thing!

And it is still a live animal. You must know that whether it is a bird or a squirrel, it is not stupid.

Many times, the "bang" of the slingshot will cause the bird to fly away, or the squirrel to run away.

Of course, during this period, Wang An has been fine-tuning various angles.

Although he could never hit it, Wang An's concentration would definitely give a thumbs up to anyone who saw it.

Because Wang An discovered that Mu Xueli didn't aim well at all when he hit the squirrel.

Besides, in many cases, people's eyesight is not in line with the trajectory of the steel ball flying out.

Wang An ignored the two of them, but concentrated on shooting the slingshot. He shot squirrels when he saw them, and he shot birds when he saw birds.

Mainly the eyes and the fork tip of the slingshot, as well as the angle of the slingshot rubber band.

If the first steel ball is not hit, there is basically no chance of hitting it a second time.

Wang An looked at the little house bird in front of him with a very happy smile on his face.

In fact, for slingshot shooting, this is already a very powerful performance.

Although the house sparrow is small, who dares to say that this is not a harvest?
After that, Wang An was like a man and a slingshot merged into one.

This also means that the steel ball will hit the passing branches or twigs. As long as it hits, it will definitely miss.

Therefore, Wang An feels that the only way to shoot a slingshot is to find the angle that suits him.

Finally, after hitting countless steel balls, Wang An successfully killed a house sparrow.

Hearing this, Mu Xueli scratched his head and said:
"How do you teach this thing? I don't even know how I do it. Why don't you follow me and take a look."

It seemed that he made that gesture subconsciously and then pulled the slingshot.

If ten steel balls are thrown out, at least three of them will hit.

Wang Li nodded with a smile, and then became Mu Xueli's follower.

It can be said that it was like slingshot after slingshot, and the steel balls were shot everywhere.

Soon, Wang An shot all the steel balls in his pocket, but he also harvested 3 house finches and 5 squirrels.

In the mountains of the Northeast, there are many birds, but most of them are migratory birds, the ones that fly away as soon as autumn comes.

Although there are quite a few birds left to spend the winter, most of them are quite clever and will fly away when they see people from a distance.

Like magpies and crows, no one is interested in them because their meat is really not tasty.

It has to be said that Wang Li has been watching Mu Xueli play with a slingshot and summed up his own style of play.

Judging from the weight of the sack Wang Li was carrying, it could be seen that there was something in it.

Wang An asked curiously: "What are you two doing?"

Wang Li said happily: "Fourth brother, I have hunted four greyhounds."

Greyhounds are squirrels, and the locals call squirrels greyhounds.

To be precise, there are two kinds of squirrels in the Northeast, flower squirrels and black squirrels, also called flower squirrels and black devils. flower squirrel,
The tail hair of the flowered squirrel is shorter than that of the black squirrel, and the color is mainly gray-white, but there are a few dark bars on the back.

And black squirrel

Not all black squirrels are pure black, many are a little grayer, and their bellies and bellies are pure white.

However, whether it is a flower squirrel or a black squirrel, the locals collectively call it greyhound.

Although this thing is small, only weighing about 7 taels, the fur on this thing is called "gray skin", and it is a valuable thing, costing 4 yuan a piece.

What is the concept of 4 yuan? That's three days' wages for a regular employee.

For such a little thing, it's really quite serious.

And the fur of this thing is valuable only for one thing, the main reason is that the meat of this thing is very delicious.

Maybe it's because it only eats pine nuts, or pecans and other nuts. Its meat has a scent of pine nuts.

After stewed, it is quite unique and quite delicious7.

Mu Xueli looked at the sack and said, "I don't know how many we shot, it seems like more than ten."

Wang An knew that these two people must have only shot squirrels and ignored the bird.

But there's nothing wrong with it. If Wang An hadn't wanted to practice slingshot, he wouldn't have shot the bird.

Something that is less than a bite of meat is a waste of time and money.

The most important thing is that 10 house finches are not as valuable as a steel ball.

Wang An had all the steel balls in his pocket, and Mu Xueli and Wang Li also had very few steel balls in their pockets.

Although steel balls can be used repeatedly, once they are shot out, they are quite difficult to find.

Without the steel ball, Wang An could only put away his slingshot and scanned left and right, hoping to find any traces of prey.

Just after Mu Xueli and Wang Li finished playing steel balls, the three of them were walking towards the sledge, carrying sacks and chatting.

Wang An suddenly saw a tree hole, which was quite hidden.

Because a pine tree fork drooped down, covering most of the tree hole.

Wang An looked around under the tree again and could clearly see the footprints of two people who had passed under the tree before.

Then Wang An looked back and saw the footprints of the three people walking by.

Finally, Wang An was sure that there was something wrong with Mu Xueli and Wang Li's eyes.

Because the footprints under the big pine tree with the tree hole were those of these two idiots.

Wang An said to the two people who were laughing happily, "You two wait a moment."

Mu Xueli and Wang Li looked at Wang An in confusion, wondering what Wang An wanted to do.

Wang An pointed to the tree hole and asked the two of them: "Look, you two, what is that?"

The two of them looked in the direction pointed by Wang An and said in surprise almost at the same time: "Tiancangzi."

The two of them were talking and going to work together.

Wang An stopped the two of them again, pointed to the footprints under the tree and said, "What are those footprints about?"

The two of them subconsciously looked down at their own footprints, and then at Wang An's footprints, feeling embarrassed at the same time.

Wang An looked at the two of them and said helplessly:

"You two have really awesome eyes. If one of you didn't see it, then neither of them saw it either?"

Wang An paused and then continued:

"We are not short of courage. The key is you two. Aren't you afraid that the black blind man will suddenly come out and kick you two?"

The two of them were like students who made mistakes, listening to Wang An's babbling.

Wang An also knows that many people are like this to many things, they are clearly right in front of them, but they still turn a blind eye.
