Chapter 259 There is an unexpected gain
Early the next morning, Yue Feng heard his aunt in the outer room getting out of bed and starting to prepare breakfast, so he got dressed early and got out of bed. That was all the preparations before entering the mountain. Yue Feng has long been accustomed to it.
Follow the procedures and complete the preparations before feeding the dog at home.
It is worth mentioning that the main purpose of going into the mountain today is to catch sables in Blind Tuozi Mountain, so the dogs are not the main force in hunting. When Yue Feng distributed the dog food in the morning, he did not feed them half full, but gave them The portion was about 70% full.
The members of the hunting team had eaten and drank well and were ready to go into the mountains. The second uncle also rushed over with a bag and a gun.
"Second uncle, why are you carrying a gun?" Yue Feng was somewhat surprised to see the 'murderous weapon' in his second uncle's hand.
Normally, people with hunting experience will rarely carry a weapon like a gun when they set out from home into the mountains.
There are many dense forests on the mountain, and a long-handled spear can easily be blocked by branches when walking on the road. 99% of people prefer hanging one on their backs rather than carrying a spear. Invasion knife.
If you really need a long-handled weapon to assist in combat, just chop down a stick from a small tree, and the blade on the pier is a spear. In terms of practicality, it will take several blocks to stab the gun with the sword.
It is precisely because everyone knows these common sense things that Yue Feng was a little surprised when he saw his second uncle carrying a gun.
The second uncle casually put the gun against the door: "Bringing this thing up the mountain is not for hunting, but to prevent war!
Didn't I tell you before, blind hunchback? On the other side of the mountain, someone is wearing a wallet to hit Dapi! If you encounter someone with a gun in his hand, the other party should be more cautious!"
"Well...the atmosphere over there is so dangerous, can you? To the point of taking action if they disagree?" Yue Feng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard his second uncle's explanation.
"Not really, but be prepared! Damn, if someone dares to bare his teeth, I will use this gun to bleed him!"
While speaking, the second uncle was still gritting his teeth. of.
It can be seen that the second uncle's words are obviously a little subjective.
Hearing this, Yue Feng's heart moved slightly and asked: "Among the people who bought wallets on the Blind Tuozi Mountain you mentioned, don't they also have rich families?"
"Yes. ! The second son of the Qian family has been hanging around there since it started snowing!
If he dares to steal our meat, my eldest brother says he’ll tolerate it, so that’s fine, but if he dares to catch the sable, Let's see if I don't kill him!"
"Okay, calm down! We may not encounter him! Besides, we have many people and guns, how dare he fight? ”
"That's true!"
......
After such an episode, a group of five people gathered and left the village. The second uncle took the lead and led the four Yue Feng brothers along the back mountain towards the Blind Tuozi Mountain hurried on and soon disappeared among the high mountains.
It is not a good job to carry a gun on your back, lead a dog, and carry various supplies into the mountains over the mountains and ridges in the back mountains.
The path that the second uncle took Yue Feng to take today was even worse than yesterday.
Small ridges of fine earth, deep ditches and the like appear every once in a while. There are few areas where you can move steadily along the mountain ridge.
Fortunately, the snow shell is frozen solid, and the dents are not too deep when walking on it. I can cut off a short stick and use it as a walking stick, so the walking speed is not too slow.
In the first half of the journey, the mountain forest was relatively close to the village. Except for the occasional footprints of rabbits, pheasants, weasels and the like, there were almost no traces of mountain livestock in the snow.
These gadgets are not the target of Yue Feng and others. To put it bluntly, even if a rabbit bursts out of the corridor, they are too lazy to chase after it, let alone shoot it with a gun.
The lethality of the 7.62mm medium-power bullet to such a small animal is terrifying. A rabbit weighing three to five pounds was shot to pieces with one shot, and nothing useful was left.
After walking with my second uncle in the mountain forest for more than two hours, large mountain animal footprints occasionally began to appear in the snow.
For example, the footprints left by wild boars a few days ago, or the dense footprints left by groups of roe deer passing by, Yue Feng has seen them more than once.
Mountain animals of this level deserve Yue Feng to take them a little more seriously.
However, judging from the freshness of the footprints, they were all traces from a few days ago. The success rate of tracking them was too low. They might have strayed off the track while chasing them, so they did not pursue these old traces.
Such a large group of people and dogs went up the mountain, and the momentum alone was quite terrifying. Almost any prey that was a little more alert would hide away. Yue Feng did not encounter any new traces along the way. of.
However, when it comes to hunting in the mountains, there are too many things that can affect the harvest. In addition to the hunter's hard power, luck is also a very important component.
My second uncle led four people from the Yuefeng Hunting Team towards Blind Tuozi Mountain. They were about two hills away from the destination and less than half an hour away from a steep slope facing the sun. They kept pulling the sledge along. Xiao Tao, who was in front, accidentally stepped on the air and slipped.
Ouch! !
Xiao Tao let out a low cry, then rubbed his sore buttocks and struggled to get up from the snow.
Everyone was just about to laugh at this daredevil when they saw Xiao Tao, who had just climbed up, rubbed his eyes, and then walked diagonally towards a big tree not far away.
"Xiao Tao, are you confused? Follow the big army!" Yue Feng asked with concern.
Xiao Tao said nothing, but waved his hand to Yue Feng and continued to walk forward with his head tilted.
Yue Feng also saw the clues. Didn't this guy discover something?
Yue Feng followed Xiao Tao and walked a few steps closely. Looking at the angle from which he raised his head, his eyes quickly fell on a large oak tree that was at least as thick as three people's arms.
At first glance, there is nothing unusual about this big oak tree. There is no forest farm near the Daliushutun mountain residents’ gathering area. Thick and big old trees like this are very common in the mountains.
However, Yue Feng looked up the tree trunk and found that about three and a half meters above the trunk, towards the southeast, there was an inconspicuous tree hole.
"Brother, look at the hole in the oak tree, is there frost hanging on it?" At this time, Xiao Tao saw it clearly and asked, pointing to the hole in the trunk.
Yue Feng also saw it. Facing the rising sun in the morning, the hoarfrost at the entrance of the cave didn't look conspicuous, but you could see it clearly if you looked closely.
"Oh, you're lucky. You fell down and picked up a piece of Tiancang for nothing! There is frost and snow hanging at the entrance of the cave. There must be a blind bear inside!" Yue Feng said with great certainty.
After hearing what Yue Feng and Xiao Tao said, several other people also came closer.
"Then what are you waiting for? With so many of us following the gun, we can just call Cangzi with force and bring out the bear and shoot him to death!" Xiao Tao was very excited, and his eyes glanced at the 56 half on Yue Feng's shoulder from time to time.
Indeed, with the current personnel and firepower configuration of Yue Feng's team, there is a high probability that there is only one bear in Xiongcangzi. Even if two adult black bears are dealt with at the same time, there is no risk in normal performance. However, under Xiao Tao's expectant gaze, Yue Feng shook his head: "Don't rush to kill this blind bear. Let's go do our business first. When we prepare to go down the mountain in the afternoon, we will come over to clean up the warehouse for the day!
Now that the bear has been beaten to death, you can’t drag the meat back home. After going back and forth like this, the day has passed and the real thing hasn’t been done yet!”
< br>
After such an explanation, Xiao Tao was no longer eager to give it a try.
Indeed, Yue Feng thought things through more carefully. No one would know if he left it here first, and then he would clean it up when he went down the mountain in the afternoon.
I really didn’t expect that the density of mountain animals on the mountain behind my grandma’s house was so thick. We hadn’t even reached Blind Tuozi Mountain yet, but there was an unexpected harvest on the way.
"Okay, let's talk about it later when we go down the mountain!" Xiao Tao said, slapping the snow foam on his butt a few times.
Yue Feng nodded, turned to ask his second uncle: "Second uncle, people don't come here very often, right? Can you remember the place?"
Second uncle nodded: "This place is famous. It’s not easy to walk, but it’s the closest to Xiatuozi Mountain!
Usually there aren't many people walking, but those who do occasionally walk along, mostly along the intermittent mountain ridges.
There is a steep slope outside this Tiancangzi, and the entrance of the cave is higher than that of ordinary warehouses. Unless Xiao Tao fell, he might not notice it when he usually walks under the tree!
Xiao Feng is right, leave it here first, and then come back and clean it up when you come back down the mountain!
You guys have really tough ideas. As long as the weather is fine in the winter, I will follow the hunters in the village and wander around the mountains.
I haven’t found Tiancangzi in several years. It’s only your second day on the mountain and you unexpectedly encounter one! ”
"Hey, if you beat this blind bear, won't you get enough money to buy a gun and raise a dog? Leave it here for now and pick it up again when you get down the mountain (qiu)"
Yue Feng chuckled and put his right hand on Xiao Tao's shoulder. Just said it.
"Let's go, let's have a strong idea today, maybe we can meet a sable as soon as we arrive at Blind Tuozi Mountain!
First of all, we have caught a lot of them in the past few days, and we will Your plan is completed, let’s study the income-generating hunting thing!” The second uncle also said with a relaxed attitude.
After such an episode, the atmosphere of rushing up the mountain became much more subtle.
Today I guarantee the harvest of a blind bear. With this mentality, I will naturally relax a lot when I am on the road and subsequently searching for the target prey.
In this atmosphere, a group of five people arrived near the main peak of Xiantuozi Mountain at around nine o'clock in the morning. They stood on a high place and looked down at the mountain streams, ditches and ponds below, and had an unobstructed view of the topography. .
The second uncle pointed to the southeast and introduced: "Have you seen the largest mountain stream over there?
That place is called Tulongwei (yi) Ba! Tulong Below the tail, there are seven or eight branches, all of which are large ditches and ponds.
There are also jumping stone ponds at the bottom of some of the ditches, and the terrain is quite complicated!”
After talking about the southeast direction, the second uncle pointed to the south direction, which was a bit unclear from the current position.
The view over there is blocked by the treetops of a larch forest, but from above the treetops, you can vaguely see a lot of rising white water vapor.
“The white gas area on the top of the tree over there is the location of the Dalongjian Ice-free Spring I told you before!
That side is actually in the surrounding ditch and pond terrain. It’s the highest, but our view is blocked by trees! There are still green grass in many places under Bufrost Spring!”
Yue Feng nodded: “Then let’s start from the southwest. How many forks and ditches to start searching?”
"I think so too! There are not many people going to these small ditches and ponds. Like the Dalong Stream under the Ice-free Spring, there are people going for a walk every now and then. No matter how many good things there are, they are all wiped out!"
"Let's go!! Xiaotao, you and Xiaowen keep our dogs! I'm flying eagle!"
"Okay!"
After receiving the response from his companion, Yue Feng will keep squatting on his arms The big black hawk on top took off his hat.
Along the way, the big black eagle quacked several times while walking along the walkway, but Yue Feng was never in a hurry to let the eagle out.
The surrounding terrain was unfamiliar, and there was nothing to feed the eagle. Yue Feng was afraid that it would find some prey while it was flying around on the road. If the hunter strayed far away, it would be troublesome for people to find the eagle again.
Now that we have arrived at our destination, naturally we no longer have these small worries.
Yue Feng took off the hat of the big black eagle. It fluttered its black gold-like feathers, raised its tail, pulled a poop, then flapped its wings and took off, quickly jumping over a hundred meters. He circled high in the air and followed.
"Let's go! The eagle is here!" Yue Feng greeted, and everyone quickly walked towards the bottom of the hillside and ravine below.
If a hunter wants to find sables, he needs to put aside the element of luck. In terms of conventional skills, he doesn’t actually have much.
In the area where this little guy moves, the footprints on the ground are very obvious. If you want to rely on a falcon to catch these things alive, just follow the pictures and follow the clues.
The five people each cut a cane in their hands as a support, and then spread out every few meters, moving and searching the bottom of the ditch as if they were driving sticks on the flat ground to catch rabbits with a big eagle.
The more people there are, the wider the search area will be. A group of five people walked over side by side and quickly searched the first mountain stream below.
This place is located at the mouth of the northwest wind, so it is not easy to keep warm, so let alone sables, even small animals such as yellow-skinned mice have little trace of activity.
After crossing the first ditch and pond area, everyone followed the terrain branches of the main vein to the second place in a planned way, and continued to repeat the previous actions.
Searching aimlessly in the snow is actually a very boring thing. After the excitement has passed, everyone's enthusiasm is slowly declining.
But Yue Feng is not worried about this at the moment. Sable is not a rat in the firewood pile at home. As long as he wants to catch it, he can encounter it any day.
There are many people now, and the search area is large. As long as there are sable activities in the surrounding area, they will be discovered sooner or later.
Unknowingly, two more ditches and ponds several hundred meters long were plowed through. Except for an unlucky rabbit that was blown up, it hurriedly ran into the side of the black wolf and was bitten by the dog. Apart from being bitten to death, there was still no trace of the sable.
At this time, the benefits of seeing the blind bear Tiancangzi on the way came to light. Everyone was a little slack, but thinking that even if they got nothing today, there would still be a blind bear to protect their bottom line, so they were still very motivated.
"What a mess! This sable is so hard to find! We have dug through several ditches, not to mention shadows, not even a single footprint!"
Xiao Tao was holding a sable in his hand. With a vigorous swing of the ash stick, the snow on the top of a bush at my feet was scattered.
As soon as he finished speaking, before the dust had settled on Xue Mozi, he saw a small beast, one size larger than the weasel, swishing out from under the bushes, and then walked along the snow at the bottom of the ditch. Tao ran wildly all the way.
