Chapter 210: Back to the point
Hei Wa and Xiao Jin need no further elaboration on their ability to track prey.
In addition, there is thick snow everywhere now. As long as blood stains and hoof prints are left on the snow, it will be very easy to find. Even ordinary hunting dogs can easily catch up.
What Chen Ling expected was correct, the wild boar did not run very far.
Just behind a gravel slope not far from the mountainside, this gravel slope is very steep, with two huge rocks protruding outwards from the slope, and below the two rocks is a dark big hole.
The wild boar's hoof prints and bloodstains had disappeared, and the two dogs were barking fiercely at the entrance of the cave.
“Is this a wild boar cave?”
Chen Ling was stunned when he saw it.
“It’s not a wild boar hole, it’s because this guy was injured and had nowhere to hide, so he took temporary refuge in it.”
Chen Dazhi wiped his sweat and was tired from running back and forth twice, and then He handed the shotgun he was carrying to Chen Ling: "Here, take the spray gun. This is a big boar. After you lure it out later, you can either retreat far away or stand on a high place and shoot down." , the big boar is not easy to deal with even if it is injured.”
"Well, you can use this troll, Brother Dazhi. Don't I have a bow and arrow?"
Chen Ling pushed away, then pointed to the surrounding gravel slopes: "This wild boar is hiding in the hole here. It's the wrong place to hide. Let's move some rocks first and block the entrance of the hole, just like the way mice block the ground in autumn. After blocking the hole, we smoke it. When it can't hold its breath and runs out, it opens the entrance of the hole. You release the gun, I release the arrow, and we pack it up hard."
He came out in a hurry, bringing only a steel fork, a bow and arrow, and an axe.
And Chen Dazhi took the spray gun from his house when he passed by it just now.
It doesn’t look like there are many things, but actually bringing a troll is enough.
Against wild boars, close-range sprayers are more effective and more lethal than rifles.
Chen Dazhi used to run in the mountains a lot.
Although he is not as sophisticated as Wang Lixian, his vision and experience are not comparable to those of ordinary people.
He is especially good at setting traps.
Hearing what Chen Ling said, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your child is really full of bad ideas. You even blocked the hole even though you smoked it. You are afraid that the wild boar will die slowly, right?"
"What's bad? The wild boar is so powerful. Blocking the hole with rocks can't stop it, but it can give us a chance to take aim."
Chen Ling smiled.
Moving targets are much more difficult to hit than stationary targets.
Can we limit the speed of the wild boar?
This way people have time to aim, and their accuracy will be greatly improved.
After all, as long as the wild boar is not dead, they can't block the entrance of the cave and wait to shoot it. That would be too unexpected.
It is better to retreat further.
People who have never been exposed to wild boar can hardly imagine how ferocious it is. The more injured the pig is, the less careless it is.
In short, you can’t be too careful.
"It makes sense. Biwa's stability is as good as Li Xian's. If he practices more, he will definitely be a good hunter."
Chen Dazhi gave him a thumbs up, and then he went to find dead branches to make a fire, while Chen Ling moved stones to plug the hole.
Then the two of them got busy.
First put the firewood into the hole, then half-block the hole with stones, and then light the firewood pile.
After the snow, the branches and leaves were moist, and soon puffs of blue smoke crackled out.
The firewood pile gradually burned and the smoke became thicker and thicker. The two of them completely blocked the entrance of the hole to prevent the smoke from coming out.
After doing this, the two of them took the dogs and retreated far away. One held a bow and the other held a gun, aiming at the entrance of the cave and waiting for the wild boar to come out.
After that, I only had to wait for about two or three minutes.
A cry of "Hang, Bang" came from the cave, and then there was a rumbling sound. The stone at the entrance of the cave was violently pushed open, and a dark guy appeared in the thick smoke.
As expected, it was a big boar, not much smaller than the one Chen Ling and the others hunted in the mountains before, but the hair on its body was much longer.
Now one of its legs is lame when retreating, and the entrance to the cave is blocked, which greatly hinders its movement.
Therefore, it does not rush out like a normal wild boar, but its movements are slightly sluggish.
Chen Ling and the two naturally would not miss this opportunity.
"Whoosh...", "Bang..."
Following two strange sounds, blood splattered on the wild boar's belly, and an arrow was pierced in the shoulder blade of its front leg. .
"Hang'er, bang'er, bang'er..." The wild boar was injured and in pain, and it immediately let out a series of angry roars.
In the thick smoke, it somehow managed to identify the location of Chen Ling and the two of them, and rushed towards them with red eyes.
But after all, it was injured and lame, and it was not as ferocious as a normal wild boar.
Seeing this, Chen Ling immediately waved his hand and sent two dogs up to drag the big guy.
"Woof woof woof..."
The two dogs yelled and divided into two directions to meet him.
They are incredibly fast.
Especially Xiao Jin, whenever he encounters an enemy, he is even more excited than Hei Wa. He rushes towards them. Just when he is about to hit him, he suddenly jumps up and easily reaches the big boar. On the back, he opened his mouth and gnawed.
Hei Wa is not as good as Xiao Jin in this regard, but he has gone into the mountains twice and fought two battles with wolves. Now he has learned to be smart. He opened his mouth and grabbed the big boar's ear, and then It twisted its thick and muscular body as if trying to bite off its pig ears.
The big boar screamed in pain and rushed towards Chen Ling and the two. At this time, its ears were pulled. In pain, it instinctively turned sideways and roared. Rushed down the mountain.
The reason for such a big reaction is that the ears of wild boars, like those of domestic pigs, also have a weak point.
In the past, hunters in the mountains used dogs to hunt pigs, and many dogs would pick at the ears of wild boars.
Not only does this hurt the wild boar, but the hunting dog clings to the wild boar's body and bites its ears...
In which direction the wild boar goes, the hunting dog bites its ears and moves parallel to its body. Which direction to follow.
Hound dogs will not be attacked by wild boars.
And the most important thing is to delay the wild boar's offensive and give his companions a chance to swarm forward.
This method of biting the ears of hunting dogs is similar to that of wolves biting pigs' ears. It also has a special name called "hanging pliers".
While hunting pigs.
There are more than three hunting dogs. As long as two of them can hang pliers on the wild boar, the remaining hunting dogs and hunters will rush forward and the pig will basically be taken down.
......
But at this time, the big male wild boar was attacked by two dogs and ran down the mountain. Chen Ling and Chen Dazhi also followed with the tools.
I saw that Xiao Jin had jumped off the pig's back. The armor on the back of the wild boar was too thick, and the bristles on its neck were thick and long, making it difficult for Xiao Jin to eat.
I jumped down and stared at its back, then opened my mouth to bite the egg sac swinging back and forth on the big boar's crotch.
The big boar suddenly howled like it was extremely frightened.
“Ouch~Ouch~”
Under the pain, the big boar was like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously turning in circles, trying to get rid of Xiao Jin.
But Xiao Jin refused to let go, biting its big balls, and all four legs were thrown off the ground by the big boar.
The whole dog was thrown around by the big boar.
During this process, Xiao Jin was still exerting force, biting the wild boar's egg sac in his mouth, just like a baby sucking a pacifier, and kept chewing the meat into his mouth.
The more meat you bite, the more you bite, and the harder you bite. This is also learned from wolves, who bite to death.
Heiwa bites its ears in the front, and Xiaojin bites its balls in the back.
Waves of severe pain came from the two key parts, causing the big boar to scream like a slaughtering pig. The injured leg with the clamp on it could no longer support it, and it fell down in the snow beside the mountain road.
"Hey, where are you lying?!"
After seeing the results of the two dogs' battle, Chen Dazhi couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "It's your two dogs that are the most effective. , otherwise, based on the wounds we two made, we would have to run around with it for at least two miles, and it would be so sticky that it would drip out, and it would take all of its strength to become sticky."
" "" or "sticky" both mean "blood".
When you go hunting in the mountains, you have to speak idioms. It’s not just about being particular. Every profession has its own rules.
This is a reverence for the mountains, and they are afraid that hunting will offend the gods in the mountains. Not only can blood not be called blood, hunting knives, shotguns and other weapons cannot be called by their original names.
A shotgun is called a sprayer, a hunting knife is called a wrist stick, and other things also have their own names.
“Brother Dazhi, don’t go over there yet. The big boar is very strong, so be careful to pull it back...”
Seeing Chen Dazhi talking, he smiled and rubbed his hands to leave. He went over to finish the attack, but Chen Ling quickly stopped him.
Sure enough, just as Chen Ling finished speaking, the big boar lying on the ground turned red with pain, shook his head and fought back against the two dogs.
As a result, his force did not cause any harm to the two dogs. Instead, Heiwa bit off their ears.
Following that, Xiao Jin also stabbed it and bit off its balls, leaving only the solitary pig gun.
The blood flowed from these two locations immediately, like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, and the hot blood kept pouring out.
And this big boar, howling and screaming, rushed forward for another distance...
Just stopped completely.
Lying in the snow, screaming miserably and miserably, his voice became softer and softer. He was no longer as energetic as before, and the strength in his body was like a deflated balloon, slowly letting out the air. .
"Damn, this big boar is hard to deal with. I can still pull him back like this."
Chen Dazhi touched the cold sweat on his forehead and felt scared for a while.
The most fatal thing is to pull big prey back to pass.
The pull back pass is opposite to the death pass.
Take the dog to the mountains. After encountering the prey, the hunting dog and the prey mostly chase and fight at the same time. They fight continuously all the way and can force the prey to stop. This is called Dingguan.
If the prey slips away after setting the level, the level is called Dingkong Pass.
It means to go short.
But if the hunting dog can force the prey to stay still, it can be forced into a dead corner, or a group of dogs can force the prey to lie down and drop it to the ground, this is called a certain death point.
Whenever the prey is at death's door, it's time for the hunter to step in and hit the target.
The one just now seems to be a dead end, but the prey still has the ability to resist, and can give you a chill, or escape when the person is not prepared. This is a back-off.
Probably it means that you can still fight with others, and it is easy for others to suffer.
"Yes, this big boar is too violent and ferocious. As long as you still have breath before dying, you have to be careful..."
Chen Ling grinned and kept observing the wild boar with his eyes. situation.
The wild boar is so ferocious that if someone were to attack it before death, it would be unbearable.
Now this big boar has an arrow stuck in the socket of its front leg, a bloody hole was opened in its belly by spray, its hind leg is lame, its ears and eggs have been bitten off, and it is bleeding.
Seeing that the air coming out was less than the air coming in, Chen Ling picked up the steel fork, stepped forward, twisted the steel fork and stabbed it hard into the chest of the wild boar.
The skin here is much thinner and softer.
With blood splattering, Chen Ling stabbed him four or five times in succession.
Then the big guy's limbs twitched, and the hot, bright red blood quickly dissolved into a pool of dazzling red on the snow.
The wild boar was successfully captured.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll feed the dog first and offer incense. Brother Dazhi, please go back and pull a cart over. We two can't get back with such a big man."
After taking a breath, Chen Ling said .
He had a lot of strength, but there was too much blood on the pig's body. If he carried it back, he wouldn't be able to get the cotton coat that his wife had just made for him.
"Okay, then I'll pull a cart."
Chen Dazhi left the troll to Chen Ling without saying a word, and went down the mountain with his ax.
After Chen Ling himself was left.
He first made a pile of pig blood mixed with pig offal, placed it on a stone beside the mountain road and bowed.
This is a piece of incense given to Grandpa Land after catching prey.
Further west to Fenglei Town is to worship Grandpa Mountain God, which is the same principle.
As for them, people say that the mountain goddess of the Qinling Mountains did not send the mountain god, and some said that the mountain god ran away.
In short, after Chen Ling paid homage to the Earth God, he started feeding the dogs.
He did not give the order. After the two dogs finished hunting the pig, they squatted in the snow and did not come near.
After he spoke, he came over and licked up the pig blood on the ground.
This is the rule Chen Ling taught them.
Originally, he was reluctant to train the two dogs harshly, just like an old father who dotes on his children, reluctant to beat or scold them.
But after the first wolf attack in the village, he changed his mind.
The two dogs were excited when they encountered wolves. That time there were many wolves outside the village, so he rushed out without saying a word, which made him worried and did not say anything. The villagers were also very passive and even wanted to shoot the wolves. Don't open it for fear of hurting the dog.
Fortunately they performed well that time.
But after going back, Chen Ling made up his mind to set some rules for them, otherwise something would happen if they were too casual.
The cleverness of the two dogs did not disappoint him either.
After teaching it a few times, you will know what to do and what not to do.
“Keep the pig belly and gall, the other internal organs are yours, start eating.”
The two dogs immediately let go of their posture, lowered their heads and started to eat ravenously.
This is the reward given to the hunting dog after hunting.
After getting used to it, they will slowly become more and more eager to go up the mountain, eager for the harvest and rewards after successful hunting.
If the hunting dog is not rewarded, it will dissipate the enthusiasm of the hunting dog. If things go on like this, a good dog will be raised to waste.
Although Chen Ling's dog is an exception, it has intelligence beyond the ordinary scope.
But there must be rewards.
......
At noon on the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Ling and Chen Dazhi brought the whole big boar home.
While passing by the village, a large group of villagers gathered to watch.
"Look, what am I talking about? It's just Baoshuan and three idiots. They are wealthy and ambitious. They can take down the wild boar. The three of them are young and strong. They can also take down the wild boar. It’s not embarrassing enough to just pick up a clip if you don’t lay a wild boar.”
"Yeah, if you encounter a wild boar, hit it with a shovel or go up and chop it with a knife. What's there to be afraid of?" Stabbed to death."
"..."
The villagers were noisy, you said something to me.
Someone said that on purpose.
And some young people really don’t know how powerful wild boars are.
Of course, most of it is intentional.
It's nothing more than thinking about the guns in the brigade's gun library.
In the past two days, there have been wolves and wild boars, and some people started to feel itchy hands again.
It happens that the mountains are closed due to heavy snow. If you have a gun, you can not only have fun going up the mountains, but also hunt some prey before the new year. What a great thing.
Now that you make such a noise, someone will immediately take the bait.
Speaking of how powerful wild boars are, let alone knives, the wild boar skin cannot even be cut through with an axe. Don’t believe it? If you don’t believe me, try it.
The other party said just give it a try. If you can get a gun from the brigade, I will patrol the mountains with you. Whoever is afraid is my grandson.
Chen Ling didn't care about these people's messy thoughts. After the wild boar was brought back, he gave Chen Dazhi twenty kilograms of meat and a pig head. After that, he disassembled the various parts of the pig's body at home and used hooks to Hang it up and wait for when the snow melts and you can go into the city, and prepare to take it to the county seat to sell it.
As for eating, he won’t eat the meat of this big boar. It has a strong taste and is difficult to handle. How can a small wild boar raised at home taste as delicious?
