Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 77 Silly Roe Deer

Until the evening, the sky had gradually turned dark, and the three of them filled the wicker basket with mushrooms; Liang Dayong also rushed back with two pheasants.

"Today is not bad luck! I turned around to find some wild food, but I happened to see eagles hunting on the mountain ahead, and a large group of pheasants were chased away in a hurry. These two stupid guys hit a tree and broke their necks I'll just hide by the side, wait for the eagle to fly away and pick up the pheasant, and we'll have barbecue at night!"

Liang Dayong showed off the pheasants he had picked up, and vividly described how the majestic eagle swooped down to prey.

Hearing that, Su Mu was yearning for a while, and couldn't help thinking, if he could take out a little eagle and bring it back to raise, how great it would be!
In the past, he often heard from his grandfather that there were many wild eagles on the steep cliffs of Taohua Mountain.

In the past few years, when it was the hatching season for the young eagles, the eagles would attack the village if they couldn’t find enough food to catch the chickens and rabbits raised in the yard, and sometimes even the little dogs that had just reached the moon!At that time, if anyone saw an eagle hovering over the village, he would definitely bang an iron basin to try to scare it away.

Later, people always go up to the mountain to catch eagles. Over the years, there are far fewer eagles in the mountains, and it is rare to see the scene of eagles catching chickens.

Unexpectedly, Liang Dayong witnessed an eagle attacking a flock of pheasants with his own eyes today, but it was a pity that Su Mu could not see it with his own eyes.

But now that I have a new ability, I can go to the deep mountains if I have the opportunity. If I can find the cliff where the eagle lives, maybe I can directly catch one and transfer it to the space!

"It's getting late now, let's go back to the tree house to prepare dinner, and I can pass by the hill ahead when I'm on my way tomorrow morning, and then I'll show you the scene where the eagle catches the pheasant." Liang Dayong was delighted, thinking about it I looked around to see if I could pick up some mistakes. I really didn't expect such a big good thing to happen on the first day in the deep mountains!
Following the guide back to the tree house, Xia Jin and her mother used a rope ladder to climb up to the tree house to clean up, and spread out the sheepskin mattress brought by the little donkey; Su Mu and Liang Dayong prepared dinner separately.

After slaughtering the pheasant by the stream, Su Mu deliberately kept all the beautiful feathers, and was going to go back to make a few feather shuttlecocks and bring one back for Xia Jin; An Lu took the rest to school and temporarily used them as physical education textbooks.

The fresh mushrooms were also cleaned, and then dipped in salt and stuffed into the empty chicken belly. Liang Dayong found some green leaves of unknown kind to wrap the chicken, and buried it under the fire to make a beggar's chicken; Then put it directly on the fire and roast it slowly over a small fire. The roasted meat is golden in color, and you can't help swallowing when you smell the aroma!

Mushroom soup was boiled with fresh mushrooms in the pot; a few large stones on the other side were burning red, and Liang Dayong put the colorful mushrooms with the mouth of a bowl on the stones to sizzle, and then dipped the roasted mushrooms in salt to eat. The taste is very unique, chewing in the mouth does not have a wild flavor.

After a full meal, the forest has become dark.

Looking up carefully, I could barely distinguish a ray of cool moonlight. After nightfall, the forest was extremely quiet. Except for the campfire, other places were full of endless darkness. Xia Jin, who was accustomed to lights and noise since childhood, was a little scared.

"What time is it now? Why do I feel so cold? And...it's so dark around here, I feel so scared!" Xia Jin guarded the bonfire, tugged at her jacket, and glanced around. Hearing a sound that seemed to be crying but not crying, I was so scared that I hurried into my mother's arms.

"Silly girl, it scares you, it's the cry of an owl." After all, the mother is well-informed, and comforted her daughter: "The forest is very humid and the sunlight is not enough, so it will become louder at night. It's extremely cold. The forest at night is no more quiet than during the day. At this moment, nocturnal animals should come out to look for food. Look, there are still bats flying over there.

If it weren't for them, the mosquitoes would have bitten us all over us by now. "

"I think bats are scary too!" Xia Jin took a sneak peek, then hurriedly hid again, making Su Mu and Liang Dayong laugh.

She has lived in the city since she was a child, but she has never seen many animals that move in the forest at night. At most, she watched them on TV a few times, so she would naturally feel scared.

"It's getting late, Xiao Nier is scared, let's go up early." Liang Dayong poured boiling water into the cups with a few fresh leaves, and brewed a cup of fresh tea for each of them. "Muzi, you bring the water cup to the tree house, I have to arrange the bonfire, if one accidentally causes a fire, it will be a big trouble."

Because there was no hunting activity, the black tiger and big gray didn't play any role at all.

At present, they are completely acting as bodyguards to bluff people. At least there are two huge dogs by their side, even if they encounter wolves in the jungle, they dare to fight.

Of course, this is just for Liang Dayong's safety.These days, wild wolves are all in the deepest part of the deep mountains and old forests, how could they be easily encountered?This trip into the mountain is just to see the scenery, there is no need to wander around such a dangerous place.

A group of four climbed up the tree house along the rope ladder, and Liang Dayong lit a candle on the tree stump in the house.

Until then, Su Mu had time to carefully look inside the hut.

The total size is no more than [-] square meters. The windows and the door are facing south, and the door is very tight after closing. The windows are nailed with screens, so the ventilation is good and there is no need to worry about mosquitoes flying in.There are only wooden floors and a huge tree stump in the room, nothing else.There is a lot of old wax oil on the stump, which must have been left by Liang Dayong's previous candles.

There are a few feather decorations nailed on the wall, which are very simple, but from the details, it can be seen that the owner has put a lot of thought into creating this place!
Several people sat around the stump drinking tea and chatting, and the warm atmosphere soon permeated the tree house full of soft candlelight.Xia Jin's fear eased a lot now, and she started to yawn as she sat on the very comfortable light quilt.

The floor in the tree house was laid by Su Mu himself, bounded by the big tree stump, the mother and daughter slept on the slightly larger space on the left; the slightly smaller space on the right was enough for Su Mu and Liang Dayong to sleep.

After saying good night, the candles were blown out, and the four of them, after a tiring day, were about to fall asleep.

Su Mu tried it. Heihu, Big Hui and the little donkey tied to the tree happened to be within his control range. Just as he was about to transfer them to the space to have a good rest, his consciousness suddenly sensed something rushing. Seeing the black tigers and their positions, they ran over!
"Wow, woof, woof!" Almost at the same time, Heihu and Big Hui started barking.

Liang Da got up from the floor with a single bone, and already took the crossbow arrows that were placed beside the pillow in his hands!

"What happened? Is there a beast?" Xia Jin asked softly, and hurriedly got up and dragged her mother to hide aside.

Su Mu pushed them and said in a low voice: "Hide in the corner, don't make a sound."

After that, he and Liang Dayong tiptoed to the window of the tree house, and looked out carefully through the window screen.

The forest was still dark, and Su Mu couldn't see the outside scenery clearly with his glasses on. Except for the barking of Black Tiger and Big Gray, the surroundings were abnormally quiet.

Since he couldn't see it, Su Mu had to temporarily give up looking out like Liang Dayong.

He tried his best to use his consciousness to "scan" around. Although he couldn't "see" clearly, Su Mu could clearly perceive that there was an animal standing quietly three meters away from the tree house!
Is it a cheetah?
After searching in his poor mind, Su Mu could barely remember that cheetahs seemed to move at night.In the depths of Taohua Mountain, there are also signs of wild cheetahs.

He was considering whether to send Heihu, Big Hui and the little donkey into the space to hide first, when the animal three meters away suddenly started approaching again!
Black Tiger and Big Hui were also chained to the big tree. At this time, the animals in the dark kept approaching cautiously, and the two of them pulled the iron chains around their necks and rattled!

"What's the situation?" Seeing that Liang Dayong didn't seem too nervous, Su Mu asked in a low voice.

Although Liang Dayong couldn't see the outside situation, this place is located on the edge of the virgin forest after all. From his experience of running in the mountains, he guessed that animals like deer just happened to pass by.Moreover, listening to the barking of the two dogs was mixed with a little excitement. If a wild beast approached, the dogs would definitely bark vigilantly.

"It may be a deer, or other small animals. There should be no danger." Rao said so, Liang Da kept holding the crossbow in his hand, and did not relax his vigilance at all.

Is it really a deer?

"Uncle Dayong, look at what kind of animal that is!" Su Mu could sense that the animal was tentatively approaching, and it was coming towards the window.When he was close to two meters away, he had adapted to the darkness outside, and he could barely see a shadow on the grass!
"Huh, you scared me!" Liang Dayong heaved a sigh of relief, put down the crossbow in his hand and said with a smile, "So it's a silly roe deer!"

Su Mu had heard of roe deer more than once, but this was the first time he saw a live animal, so he hurriedly greeted Xia Jin, "It's all right, come and see the roe deer!"

The mother and daughter also moved to the window, and after a few minutes, the roe deer finally appeared in front of everyone.

The whole body is yellow, one size smaller than the deer seen in the zoo, and it looks naive and cute.

But this roe deer didn't know why, it always wanted to get close to the black tiger and the others, but it was too timid to come over, so the black tiger and big gray that provoked it screamed loudly.

It seemed that if Su Mu loosened the iron chain for them at this moment, it would be no problem to take down this silly roe deer.

"Look, mom, it's so cute! They are so cute, why are they called silly roe deer?" Xia Jin stared at the roe deer outside in surprise, and urged her mother to quickly take a picture of it with the camera.

Liang Dayong put down the bow and crossbow in his hand, and explained with a smile: "The roe deer is too curious, and wants to see what happens. Sometimes the hunter misses with a single shot, and the roe deer will kill himself after a while." Strolled back to see what the hell was going on, so everyone thought it was silly.

It is estimated that it was just passing by, but when our dog barked, it wanted to come over to see what was going on.

We are not here for hunting, so I won't kill this roe deer right now.If there is a suitable opportunity tomorrow, I will hunt a roe deer for you to try! "
