Chapter 109 Selling Point
When Xiaonian and Junqiang entered the room, they were blown away by the aroma of braised pork on the table.
The food at the Yue Feng family is also very good. The table is full of a pot of braised pork and a pot of hare stewed with radish. The dry food they eat is also slightly yellowed Erhe noodle steamed buns. This food is simply better than The village secretary also needs to have a card.
"Xiao Nian and Jun Qiang, have you two eaten? How about eating a bite alive?" Yue Lei greeted him politely when he saw that he was a young man of his son's generation.
"Uncle, aunt! No, we came here after dinner. We have something to do with Brother Feng!" Xiaonian swallowed and looked away from the food on the table.
"Then tell me to come to the West House!"
Yue Feng's impression of Xiaonian is quite average. This guy is an old yinbi. In his previous life, he went up the mountain with the villagers to kill the blind bear. He killed two of them in one trip. He himself came back with all his hair and tail.
After entering Yue Feng's room, Yue Feng poured two bowls of water from the thermos and placed them on the edge of the kang: "Drink water!"
The two brothers took a few symbolic drinks of water, and then Yue Feng asked: "What's the matter? Tell me!"
"We went hunting in the mountains with Zhu Erhai the day before yesterday. We met a group of big wild boars on the mountain. The leading cannon egg had armor on its shoulders. I Grandpa's Hanyang made sparks flying off his body, but the pig was not killed
Junqiang and I came here to ask Brother Feng if you want to hunt these pigs. If you have an idea, we can tell you about this! "
" Armored cannon eggs? "Even Yue Feng was slightly startled when he heard this title.
Many literary works have mentioned the description of wild boars wearing armor, saying that wild boars will become smart when they reach a certain age and like to bite open pine trees. Rub the skin on the pine oil with your back, and then apply some dirt, stones and other debris to act as your own armor.
It is said that the defense of this kind of armored wild boar is greatly improved. To exaggerate, it is ordinary. It would be difficult for a shotgun to inflict fatal injuries on him.
Yue Feng had heard similar descriptions from his grandfather in his previous life, but he had lived in Changbai Mountain for half his life and was no different from the wild boar he shot indirectly. There are more than a hundred of them, the largest weighing more than 400 pounds, but I have never seen an armored wild boar in person
"Well, it's armored! That cannon egg is at least over 400 kilograms in weight, and it runs like a small tank. The group of wild boars it guards are at least a dozen, including two or three yellow-haired pigs, and six or seven A big pig and a two-year-old!”
Xiao Nian is not good at frontal output, but he is still very qualified as an observer, and the information is very clear and comprehensive!
"Fight, why not fight! Where is the place? Wait for me to get the goods, and I will give you a share of the intelligence fee!" Yue Feng made the decision without hesitation.
There are indeed many wild boars on the mountain, but now Yue Feng and the others have fewer means to find wild boars. Without dogs, they can only hunt them with guns.
It would be better if you could follow the trail and follow the clues. As long as you can concentrate your mind, you can find the opportunity to get close and shoot.
But most of the time, no valuable traces of pigs can be found. In his previous life, Yue Feng even carried a gun into the mountains and encountered nothing for three days, so he knew the value of information.
"Jun Qiang and I don't expect much from the intelligence fee. We two brothers just want to play with Brother Feng. If it can be used in any way, we two brothers have plenty of strength!"
Jun Qiang listens When Yue Feng agreed, he immediately opened his mouth to say the place, but Xiaonian quietly pulled the hem of his cotton-padded jacket. After a moment of surprise, Xiaonian had already finished what he wanted to say.
Hearing Xiaonian’s plan, Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "Going into the mountain is not just playing games with people in the alley. If you bring anyone into the mountain, you must be responsible for everyone. !
I don’t have much contact with you, and I don’t know your temper and temperament, so I can’t promise you!
Besides, there is no shortage of people in our team now. If we take you with us, we won’t have enough prey to be divided among everyone. Others will have opinions! ”
Wang Xiaonian didn’t have high expectations either. He knew what the other members of Yue Feng’s team were like. It would definitely be difficult for him and Jun Qiang to follow Yue Feng. Just two poles.
"Okay, let's talk about this cooperation. I'll tell you the general location of these wild boars. If you hunt the prey, Jun and I will be the better ones!" "Xiao Nian stepped back and said the next best thing.
"Okay, but this news is only worth one share. How you and Jun Qiang divide it is your own business. Is that okay? ”
Yue Feng is very clear about dealing with people outside the team. There is ambiguity in Xiaonian’s calculation of his and Junqiang’s shares. Should the two brothers count one share each, or should both brothers count one share together? , make it clear in advance to avoid problems later
"Okay, these wild boars were moving under the ravine below Sandaogang the day before yesterday. We and Zhu Erhai followed up to ambush us. We shot the cannon egg on the back, and the sparks popped out directly. Zhu Erhai added another The gun hit the boar's front leg. It was probably a minor injury, and it didn't significantly affect the movement! "
"What happened next? If I remember correctly, Hanyang can only hold five rounds of bullets!" Yue Feng listened! Wan frowned slightly and continued to ask for further details.
“The third round jammed, and then we climbed into a tree to escape the disaster!”
Xiao Nian didn’t mention that Zhu Erhai was almost kicked by the cannon egg, but Gu left and right said.
Yue Feng smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand! As long as these pigs are still moving around Sandaogang, and I kill them, you two will be counted as one!
We have agreed on this matter. You can no longer tell others about your information about the pigs before I go up the mountain! "
"Don't worry, Zhu Erhai doesn't have a gun in his hand. No other hunter knows about it except him! "
"Well, I will go up the mountain tomorrow and wait for news about my coming down. If the goods are delivered, we will meet at my house in the evening! "
"Then... Zhu Erhai's side..."
He deliberately did not finish his small talk, but mentioned a name, and will not say it later.
Yue Feng nodded: "Don't worry, I understand the rules. Only I know about the information you provide me, and I won't tell anyone else!
Our family has no contact with the Zhu family. We passed it a few days ago. I even beat up his family during the Mid-Autumn Festival because of the big goose thing!"
"It's settled, it's getting late, Junqiang and I will go back first! ! ”
“Okay!”
Yue Feng personally sent the two brothers to the entrance of the courtyard, and then did not immediately turn around and go back to the house, but went to Xiaowen Xiaowu’s house one by one with his arms in his arms. , called the two brothers to come to the house for a meeting, and shouted from the back window of Xiao Tao, calling Xiao Tao over.
"The cannon egg with armor on its back, is what Wang Xiaonian said true? Is there really such an evil wild boar?"
After listening to Yue Feng's narration, Xiao Tao's eyes widened, his eyes full of worry. Suspect.
Yue Feng nodded: "It's most likely true. I heard my grandfather tell it once when I was a child. When he went up the mountain with the older generation of hunters, he encountered a large wild boar with armor!" "Since Zhu Erhai The Wang brothers have guns, people, and know the place. Why would they sell this information to us? "
At this moment, Xiaowen, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said Raising a question changed the direction of the discussion in the meeting.
"Yes, why? Although Hanyang-made products are prone to jamming, jamming does not blow up the chamber. After the fault is eliminated, it can still be used!
The three of them went into the mountains to hunt and distributed it to everyone. There is no way we can get more prey than what we were told! The four of us, plus the guns, plus them, can get one-sixth of it!" Xiao Wu also agreed.
"Zhu Erhai is very stingy. Could it be that their small team of three is having internal strife?" Xiao Tao guessed.
Yue Feng nodded: "It is possible. Although Zhu Erhai is not a good person, he is a militia member. His marksmanship is definitely much better than Xiaonian and Junqiang. But the Zhu family does not have guns, so it is difficult to go there. I borrowed a gun from another place!
Brothers Xiaonian and Junqiang, Xiaonian is better than a monkey when it comes to sticking hair, but he can only use his brain and work hard. Junqiang is a little bit less. It's stronger, but even though he has a gun, he probably doesn't know how to use it, so he can't shoot accurately!
Now they would rather sell some to us than fight for it themselves, which is probably a conflict! "
While everyone was expressing their opinions, analysis and speculation, Xiaowen said, "In addition, there is another possibility. It may not be so easy to use this gun. Junqiang and Xiaonian have not gone into the mountains with others. He Grandpa’s gun may not always be used whenever you want!
I even seriously doubt that the three of them had stolen these guns when they went hunting in the mountains!
In our place, the adults at home are very strict with gun barrels. It’s not as simple as calling grandpa and letting you carry it up the mountain! ”
I have to say that although Xiaowen doesn’t talk much on weekdays, his logical thinking ability is very rigorous.
The brothers got together and summed up everything they said to each other, and basically analyzed the ins and outs of the whole thing.
“Since there are no other unknown risks here, let’s go up the mountain again tomorrow. Xiaonian said that there are about ten pigs in this group. If we are lucky, maybe we can get a few more pigs down. !" After listening to everyone's analysis, Yue Feng made a decision in public.
"Okay! Let's do it, but this time we go tomorrow, mainly to stare at the armored cannon eggs? Or we should maximize the benefits and make some smaller ones that can be sold for money. Pig yellow hair or something?" Xiao Tao asked another question.
This question really stumped Yue Feng.
It is true that he went hunting with a gun in the mountains to make money, but making money was not his only consideration. He still wanted to enjoy the hunting process and pursue the prey record.
But the cannon eggs are big and not worth much. They retail for 30 cents per pound, but the old sow's pork can be sold for 60 or 70 cents when sent to the second cafeteria. There is a difference of double the price.
"This cannon can't do anything without hitting its eggs. When you hear the gunfire, this thing will hit people!" Yue Feng shook his head.
“I don’t think we need to worry about this. If we are close to the conditions for shooting, then we can blast the eggs and then shoot the sows for two years.
If there are not many conditions, keep them far apart. , then shoot the most valuable ones, since it’s hard to catch up with the cannonballs anyway, hit the tree in the sky and hide!” Xiaowen said!
Yue Feng nodded: "Yes, just do it!"
...
The brothers decided to continue hunting pigs in the mountains tomorrow morning. They dismissed the meeting very early and then went back to their homes to find their mothers.
Early the next morning, Yue Feng got up on time, and soon several other members of the team came over.
After eating and drinking enough, and taking the dry food with them into the mountain, everyone once again dragged their sledges and carried their guns, and entered the mountain along the road at the head of the village.
Today's temperature is a few degrees colder than the previous two days and tomorrow. It is now basically 20 degrees below zero. This kind of weather can be described as blowing into ice.
However, the advantage of having intelligence support is that the target is relatively clear, and everyone rushed straight towards Sandaogang without any detours.
Going out at 6:10 in the morning, before 8:30, Yue Feng and his brothers had arrived at Sandaogang.
After a few days in Sandaogang, the previous information about pig hunting here has basically disappeared completely. The north wind will blow up snow foam to cover some slight traces.
Yue Feng is very experienced in hunting. After arriving at the general area, he immediately adjusted his formation. Everyone formed a search formation, along the direction of the ridge, towards the last discovery that Xiao Nian said The wild boars rushed around the location.
When we arrived near the area where the pigs last visited, we found large traces of the pigs’ feeding across Laoyuan Peak.
The rest of the place is covered with ice and snow, but this area has been turned into a mud pond. The humus at the bottom of the ditch melts away more easily after mixing with the snow foam, and there is a clear difference between the color of the surrounding areas.
"You guys wait here, I'll step closer and take a look!" Yue Feng took off the gun from his shoulder and turned on the safety, then he crouched and walked cautiously towards the traces of food in the distance.
When he reached the front, Yue Feng lowered his head and bent over to observe the circle carefully.
This trace is very fresh. Although it is frozen, the ground after being turned over has not been covered by snow foam. Yue Feng can be sure that this is a trace left just yesterday.
With this judgment, Yue Feng's hanging heart was completely relaxed. After receiving the information and going out to hunt, what he was most afraid of was the failure of the information. After all, the wild boar was alive and had been driven away by gunfire. He felt the fatal impact. It’s dangerous, and it’s quite common to move around.
After patiently looking around again, Yue Feng discovered a pig hoof print that was obviously two sizes larger than the surrounding hoof prints.
Now, the information given by Xiaonian and Junqiang also echoed. The footprints of this cannon egg should be the armored wild boar that Xiaonian said.
After ascertaining the information, Yue Feng turned around and returned the same way.
"How are you doing, brother? Are those traces fresh?" Xiao Tao immediately came over and asked when Yue Feng came back.
Yue Feng nodded and used his fingers to indicate the size of the cannon egg's hoof prints: "These eating marks should have been left yesterday. The cannon egg Xiaonian mentioned is from pig's trotters. Yin’er is so big!”
"Shit! You can't start at four or five hundred pounds?"
Yue Feng nodded: "It might be even heavier. It's at least two sizes bigger than the cannon egg we shot a few days ago!"< br>
"Then what should we do next? Continue to follow the traces to find it?" Xiaowu also asked excitedly.
