Chapter 219 Luming Valley
Other hunters may not know much about lynx. Occasionally, some of the information may not be their own experience, but come from hearsay from friends in the same industry or other channels.
But Uncle Zhao is a fierce man who has beaten several lynxes with his own hands. He knows very well how the lynx pinches the dog, how fast it reacts and other data.
Yue Feng shook his head: "I didn't suffer any loss! I didn't even touch the woolly lynx! But there is one thing I forgot to mention just now. Before this lynx was settled by the big black eagle, I was ambushing it in the morning. One of his hind paws was injured, which may have affected his movement speed!"
"That's pretty awesome! This big black hawk is no ordinary species!" Uncle Zhao's eyes fell on Anjing squatting on the sledge! Said the big black hawk wearing a hat.
"Uncle, why do you think an eagle cannot fight a lynx? Have you seen anything on the mountain?" Yue Feng continued to ask.
"Yes! Almost more than ten years ago, the two big eagles on the side of Xuanying Stream raised a young eagle. After the young eagle grew up enough and followed its parents out of the nest, I spent most of my time in the nearby canyon, but was spotted by a lynx!
The lynx must have been lying in wait in the canyon for a long time, watching the big eagle hunt for food! The baby eagle fed the baby eagle, and when the baby eagle landed, he stepped on the rabbit with his paws to eat. He attacked and killed the baby eagle.
Later, he found the two big eagles who had killed the baby and chased after it! After killing this lynx, the female eagle was killed by the lynx!
When I went to the bottom of the canyon, I found a large number of adult eagle feathers and a small amount of bones.
From then on, only the smaller male eagle remained in the nest of eagles in Xuanyingjian, and it lived alone for several years.
The year before last, this eagle found a pair with another female eagle and resumed breeding! "
No wonder Uncle Zhao was so excited when he heard that the big black eagle could seize the lynx nest. It turned out to be because of this.
After hearing this, Yue Feng said: "The golden eagle and the gyrfalcon, The hunting methods and attack methods are somewhat different! I think it should be this difference that leads to different results!
If nothing else, the golden eagle is so big, its diving speed is definitely not as fast as that of the gyrfalcon. In addition, as it gets bigger, the sensitivity of movements such as bending and turning will also decrease. If the lynx is prepared, Under the circumstances, it will be understandable if the car rolls over!
This big black hawk is quite a thief. It does not fight with the lynx, but rather acts like a guerrilla. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy is tired, we harass.
Furthermore, it dives and attacks very quickly, and its small size makes it much more sensitive. The lynx was injured, so it was captured by the big black hawk!
When I got within a hundred meters of the lynx on my skis, the big black eagle was squatting on the tree and squawking! "
"What an eagle! What a hawk! ! "After listening to Yue Feng's detailed description, Uncle Zhao praised the performance of the big black eagle again and again.
After chatting for a while, the wild boar steak and elbow in the steel pot were also cooked. Uncle Zhao He opened the lid of the pot and pierced the meat with chopsticks. After making sure it was cooked, he took out the meat in the large basin that Yue Feng just brought today.
A family of five, old, four and young, sat around a square wooden table. They also opened the lid of the big pot, filled the porridge with fine porcelain bowls, and then took off the pancakes stuck on the edge of the pot, and dinner was ready.
Uncle Zhao took out the barrel of loose white wine that Yue Feng and the others brought last time and poured a glass for everyone.
Uncle Zhao: "This time we will have plenty of plates and bowls to eat! If I take advantage of you, I will become a landlord!"
"Hey! Uncle, you are so rich! The meat was stewed really well today, the meat is a bit off the bone and it didn’t have much heat!" Yue Feng said with a smile.
“This is a little pig. I took the red dog out for a walk before it started snowing. I ran into it by accident! The little sow weighs one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds. I didn’t even get close to it. It had already been beaten by several pigs. The dog took out his belly and pressed it there!
This little pig is a little over a year old at most, and the meat is delicious! When you come to my place, I haven't prepared any preparations. It's just this little meat, just one bite! "
"Haha, it's not enough to care about meat! I won’t be polite to you anymore, let’s try it first! ”
In order to appease the old man, Yue Feng was the first to stretch out his chopsticks and pick up a piece of ribs.
The taste of sow ribs with seasoning has been significantly improved, Yue Feng After taking a bite, my mouth was full of oil and it was very satisfying.
With Yue Feng taking the lead, the other three people were not polite to the old man and started eating with their chopsticks.
Uncle Zhao just watched the few young men gnawing meat quietly. It wasn't until several of them had eaten a few pieces of meat to pad their bellies that he picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"We gentlemen, this is the second time we sit at the same table to eat. Today, before I take my first sip of wine, I have to say a few words!"
Hearing what the uncle said, The four people immediately put down their chopsticks and looked up at the old man politely.
"According to worldly standards, I am just an old mountain dog with a weird temper. I don't interact with people, let alone get close to them! Even the so-called blood relatives in my family at the foot of the mountain have almost no affection for me. , only calculations and considerations of interests!
From this point of view, my life is quite a failure!
However, thanks to the protection of the Mountain God, I met you! You are all good boys! You are kind, courteous, thrifty and generous, I can see the shadow of a tutor in you!
Today, you sent me so many supplies again, the old man is very happy! Very happy! ! I drank this first glass of wine! ! "
While speaking, Uncle Zhao picked up the two-and-a-half wine glasses in front of him, raised his neck, and drank it in one gulp.
The spicy white wine went straight to his mouth, nose and throat, but Zhao The uncle didn’t make any excuses.
“Uncle! People are different! We men are destined to be together! I'll have a drink too!
But let’s agree first, there’s still plenty of wine, but we don’t drink as much as you do, so let’s drink the rest of the wine slowly, and we’ll chat with you for a while! ”
While talking, Yue Feng also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The brothers Xiao Tao and Xiaowen Xiaowu next to him are not cowards. Regardless of whether they can hold down the wine, they all drank it in one gulp.
Xiao Tao, who usually doesn’t drink much, suddenly choked and coughed, and his nose and tears came out.
“You guys, please slow down, you can’t drink normally, just forgive me. ! I won’t pick on you! Take a bite and squeeze the food! "Uncle Zhao picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in the bowl in front of Xiao Tao.
"Xiao Tao usually drinks less, but don't forget that he is in trouble when he drinks. He is very good at work and fighting. Good job!
Last time we were fighting with the Zhu family in the village, Xiao Tao went up with a stick, and he knocked down three of the five strong laborers by himself! Until now, Zhu Erhai was so frightened that he trembled when he stared at her! ”
“Good kids are all good kids! You brothers are all good and there is nothing wrong with everything! I didn't expect that, old man, I am getting old, but someone will take care of me!
If you don’t mind it, I will be your uncle from now on. As long as you want to go up the mountain to fight for siege and settle down in the mountain, whenever you come to my place, I will take care of the food! You can stay here as long as you want! "
While talking, Yue Feng filled up a second glass of wine for Uncle Zhao, followed by several other people's glasses. When he poured it into Xiao Tao's place, he only poured half a glass, which was considered a fool's errand. Brother, please take care of me.
“We are not polite to you! The forest in the mountains behind our house is only that big in total. According to how often we go up to the mountains to hunt in winter, we will definitely go deeper into the woods in the future, which will inevitably cause trouble for you! You should also eat some food instead of just drinking. When we were eating the food just now, you didn't move your chopsticks! ”
"Okay! Okay! I'll eat too, everyone will eat!"...
Uncle Zhao definitely got aroused during tonight's meal. He was a little bit reluctant to let go at first. Waiting Yue Feng slowly drank two glasses of wine with him, and the suppressed emotions were slowly released.
No one is hard-hearted, it’s just that when faced with the same thing, people with different temperaments have different decisions and choices.
Most of the time, Uncle Zhao was talking about various past events in his youth, such as what prey he caught in the mountains and forests, what situations he had, what conflicts he had with his family, etc. , the further it went, the more confusing the subject became. The Yue Feng brothers listened quietly without interrupting.
After drinking for an hour and a half, Yue Feng and Uncle Zhao each drank a pound of wine, and Xiaowen Xiaowu also drank almost seven taels.
The old man was not drunk today, but the walkway was a little swaying. Yue Feng didn’t let him do things like picking up tables and cleaning pots. They were all village kids. These trivial tasks were simple for a few people, so there was no need for them. It didn't take long for the work to be over.
After eating and drinking, he did not turn off the lights and rest immediately. Uncle Zhao liked the radio that Yue Feng brought for him. After eating and drinking, the five of them chatted and listened to the radio.
It was getting dark outside, and in the hut on the mountain, everyone was slowly getting drunk.
Unlike last time, Yue Feng and the others came well prepared this time.
Although I still made a bed on the ground, I brought two more tanned bear skins and spread them on the ground to keep out the moisture and keep me warm.
Make the firewood in the stove a little brighter, and with a few people sleeping in their clothes, it won't be cold at all.
Slowly, the snoring started. Yue Feng quietly blew out the oil lamp, then checked the small crack left in the window, and then he was the last to lie down and slowly closed his eyes.
......
Early the next morning, before dawn, Uncle Zhao woke up early. He got up to cook for the children. Yue Feng opened his eyes when he heard the noise. Eye.
Breakfast is simple. I haven’t finished the pancakes I made last night. I take out the meat from the pot and chop it into pieces. Add it to the corn stubble soup and cook it together. It is also served with a plate of pickle dumplings to relieve greasiness. This breakfast is enough. .
When it got slightly brighter outside, Yue Feng called his three brothers to wash their faces, eat, and then use the unfinished meat soup base in the pot to add new grains and fork the dog food. All four dogs were fed sixty percent full.
It was just dawn, and Yue Feng's team and Uncle Zhao were already fully armed and ready to set off.
The Luming Valley Yuefeng that Uncle Zhao mentioned had never been there in his previous life, so the person leading the team today became the old man.
A group of people dragged two sledges (the other two pigskin dismantled sledges were disassembled and brought them with them), three guns, and led the dogs, and headed in the direction of Luming Valley. .
From Uncle Zhao's cellar to the deep mountains, there are basically not many ready-made roads. Uncle Zhao is very familiar with the surroundings. The paths he chooses are all ridges with relatively gentle slopes. Except for the seven twists and turns, he can't remember them. Outside of living, I didn’t suffer much.
After walking for about an hour and a half, the completely unfamiliar mountain forest in front of me suddenly became clear after climbing over a mountain ridge.
“Damn! It’s so beautiful here!” Yue Feng couldn’t help but sigh after looking at the scene in front of him.
The mountain and forest landscape has undergone obvious changes. A river pours down from the mountains in the distance and extends to the 'plain area' in front of them.
The area with almost no edges visible to the eye is an endless impact plain. Except for a few large trees, almost all of it is an area of low shrubs or occasional wormwood. As far as the eye can see, we can see another high mountain on the opposite side.
Is there such a wonderful place outside the mountains and forests?
“This is Luming Valley! Looking upstream, there is a deep pool there, connected to a small naturally formed mountain reservoir! We went down the current ridge and crossed the reservoir to the opposite area. Take a look at the woodland. In the past, there were more deer activities there!" Uncle Zhao pointed to the location down the mountain and roughly explained the direction to Yue Feng and the others.
As the old saying goes, it’s not just the mountain. In fact, it’s not just the mountain. Standing on the ridge, it’s obviously not that far away. Yue Feng and the others have to walk on two legs. for a long time.
It took more than half an hour for Yue Feng and the others to cross the edge of the mountain reservoir and reach the other side.
The surface of the reservoir has long been frozen, and after it snowed, it was even covered with a lot of snow. If it weren't for the waterfall in the distance that was still flowing, Yue Feng and the others wouldn't even know that the ground was frozen when they first came here. lake surface.
After crossing the reservoir lake, Uncle Zhao greeted Yue Feng: "Xiao Feng, you can let go of your eagles and dogs! There are traces of the past few days here!"
Yue Feng followed I went over and took a look, and sure enough, on the shrubs and trees less than one person tall, many trunks and branches had signs of being eaten. Although the footprints on the ground were not too clear, they could still be vaguely seen.
"These are the footprints of a red deer, and there are more than one! Look here!" Uncle Zhao pointed to a place on the ground where the footprints were relatively clear and said.
"Hmm, a red deer is fine too! It's enough for us to chase it!!" Yue Feng also became excited.
If there are footprints, it means that there are deer activities around for a certain period of time. Yue Feng's requirements are not high. As long as he can get a deer back, he can make a deal.
Of course, if you are lucky and can get more, a total of five people can also try to recruit people to bring the prey back.
"Dahuang, come here, sniff!" Yue Feng shouted, calling the lead dog over, and then pointed to the footprints on the ground and gave the command.
After spreading the rhubarb, I was very excited and immediately lowered my head to smell it.
The expected situation of immediately showing off and leading the team to run wildly did not happen, but something unusual came from the sky.
I saw the big black eagle that had been following Yue Feng and circling above their heads suddenly started to scream.
