Chapter 507: Miao Family Hunting Story 4
“It’s hard to say, maybe there are less prey in the mountains, and they just came down from the mountains.”
Chen Ling shook his head, took out a plum tube and blew it, giving The uncle and brother sent messages.
The distance here is not far.
Soon the Wang Qingwen brothers rushed over.
They were very happy when they saw a wild boar shot.
"Brother Qingwen, Qingzhong, I found this herd of pigs."
Zhao Dahai rushed out regardless of his embarrassment, patting his chest to show off.
Chen Ling looked over unexpectedly when he heard this.
The lynx nodded dumbfounded: "This herd of wild boars was really found from the sea..."
Then he went to show Chen Ling the ways of these wild boars.
That’s where the ‘dung road’ that we often walk on is.
"Have you seen that mountain? At the mouth of the mountain, there is an animal path... People say that novices are prosperous, and there is a certain truth.
At first we were in the northwest corner opposite. I turned around and found nothing.
As a result, after turning around, my yellow dog just let the sea grab it and started to scream.
Then they suddenly found the valley entrance. As soon as the dog walked towards the valley entrance, the group of wild boars stopped running away and found the mud pond here. "
Chen Ling was amused by Shan Mao's words.
"You said it's like playing mahjong. As soon as a novice gets on the table, he kills everyone... Tsk, I just went hunting. Why didn't this happen when we were here? ”
No, in fact I had a similar experience when I was using a slingshot to shoot birds when I was a child.
When I first touched the slingshot, I didn’t know why it was so accurate. I could shoot seven or eight birds a day. Bird.
But once you get used to it, it doesn't work anymore. It feels awkward no matter how you hit it, and there's something wrong with it no matter how you aim.
I am restless and bored.
But later, if you calm down and find the feeling slowly, your accuracy will be restored again.
The two of them said this, and others around them heard it very happily.
Zhao Dahai quit the job: "Why do novices have strong skills? I am a born good hunter, a hunting genius... When I practice again, I will be the hunter king of Qinling from now on."< br>
Chen Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and scolded: "Okay, I didn't mess with you, but you still took my name."
Everyone laughed.
But let’s not talk about it, this fat man is really quite talented. At least he is good at thinking and is not just a fool who just has fun.
At this time, he slapped his forehead and looked at Chen Ling: "Hey, by the way, I almost forgot. I wanted to ask you just now. I'm confused about something. Why do you think this wild boar is like this? The dog pounced on it and bit it. It ignored the dog and picked someone to bite it.
In this matter, Jusheng and I suffered twice. ”
< br>
Yes.
This is very strange to people who have never hunted before.
The lynx smiled and said: "You will know if you hunt with them a few more times in the future. No matter wild boars or other wild beasts in the mountains, as long as they see people, no matter how many dogs are surrounding them, they will rush to them. People.
Especially injured wild boars, especially those who break into villages and farmland. ”
This is about Kinmen Village.
The old hunter in Kinmen Village was almost attacked by a wild boar in the mountains. It was his tiger-headed yellow loyal protector who blocked it for him. It was a dog king, but he couldn't stop it. The wild boar went crazy and was killed directly.
"Then why is this? The man didn't mess with it, the dog charged in front. Is it possible that the beast in this mountain is so smart and knows that the man is in charge?"
Zhao After hearing what Shanmao said, Dahai still couldn't figure it out.
But specifically why?
Shanmao couldn't answer for a while. He had never thought about this before.
He just said: "Maybe it's true, dogs can recognize people, and wild things in the mountains can also recognize people."
Then he turned to look at Chen Ling: "What do you think of wealth? "
Actually, many old hunters can't explain this kind of thing.
After all, Chen Ling also experienced the baptism of the Internet era in later generations. Especially in the early days of the information explosion, the Internet had the most useful information. In addition, he himself had served in the military and knew many related deeds.
However, he did not clearly say that he knew. He just said: "I have heard a saying that many of the wild things in the mountains judge their strength based on their height.
People who walk upright are natural in their eyes. It is the most threatening.
So as long as there are people present, no matter how many dogs there are, the beast will attack the person first. "
This statement is unexpected.
But think about it, it’s really possible.
"Capture the thief first? Capture the king first?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means."
Everyone discussed, and then helped Chen Ling and Shan Mao disembowel the wild boar.
Summer prey.
If it is already dead, if you don’t open the body and take out the internal organs as soon as possible, it will soon stink.
It would take at least an hour and a half to get back to Ranjiazhai from their current location.
If we encounter other prey along the way, we may be delayed again.
The weather is hot now, so if you go over the mountains, it is better to disembowel the pig.
Of course, wild monkeys are an exception.
Wild monkeys can be used as sacrifices if they are beaten, but if eaten, they will not be accepted by most people.
It has arms and legs, looks like a human being, and eats its diaphragm.
Generally, unless they go too far, no one will use them as prey to hunt them.
So Chen Ling just cut off its tail and did not disembowel it.
Eviscerate and dismantle the pig.
Feed the dogs and sacrifice the land.
After that, a few people returned the same way.
On the way back, I didn’t encounter any more prey.
That’s okay too.
Hunting is not that easy.
Sometimes, a whole hunting team, a dozen or so people, wandered around the mountains hungry for several days.
In the end, there may still be nothing gained.
They brought back a pig and a monkey in one morning, which was quite a harvest.
Indeed.
When we returned to Ranjiazhai in the afternoon.
Seeing that they actually brought back prey.
The hunting team in the village couldn't believe it.
You especially heard that it was Zhao Dahai, the fat man, who found the wild boars.
The last one was the wild boar that Chen Ling killed.
This group of people almost had their eyes popped out.
"Hey, hey, newbies are prosperous, hey hey, they are prosperous."
Zhao Dahai smiled with a red face, but the corners of his mouth reached behind his ears, and anyone could see how proud he was.
The dried mud all over his body could not be covered up.
Chen Ling also said: "Good luck, I'm blind."
The hunting team's favorite thing is the bobcat. The bobcat is short and powerful, with sharp eyes, and its skin color makes it look like it is often outdoors. Running.
He also brought two mountain dogs.
If he is an experienced hunter.
The hunting team in the village would not be too suspicious.
Let’s talk about Zhao Dahai and Chen Ling...
One is a fat man, and the other is a young man with tender skin and gentle temperament.
There is no sophistication of a hunter at all, and his eyes are not fierce at all.
How can anyone believe this?
......
You want to say that they are deliberately contemptuous? That's not it either. An experienced person can tell three points at a glance.
How about we always say that the old mountain climber has a sharp eye.
We often go hiking, and we know who cooperates well and who doesn’t cooperate well. Isn’t it possible to know clearly?
It couldn’t have been clearer for a long time.
When people often walk in the mountains and wild fields, they will become more and more intuitive like wild beasts.
"If you don't believe it, forget it. Anyway, this prey can't be counted, right?"
Zhao Dahai said unhappily when he saw the doubtful eyes of these young men.
"Well, these must count.
If you can catch prey, it means that the land master has seen your sincerity."
The little old man, the village chief, said with a smile: "Go to the temple and give it to Lord of the Land, please pay homage twice in the morning and in the evening, and then you can go.”
Is that enough?
After hearing this, several people felt that it was simple again.
It had been a long time since we had stretched our muscles in the mountains, and we had just beaten a pig, so everyone was not finished yet.
Even Chen Ling is like this.
"We can leave after worshiping once tomorrow morning?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then let's take a rest and go around the mountains in the afternoon. You drive away the wild boars.”
"Huh?..."
What the little old man actually wanted to say is that there is no need to drive them for us. There have been no wild boars coming around the village recently.
It has been three or four days, but the hunting team patrolled at night and found nothing. This is probably because they were frightened by the last hunt.
The last hunt was very vigorous, and the wild boar was chased and intercepted for almost half a month.
In the end, Wang Qingzhong and his little yellow dog got mixed up.
Stir it up and stir it up. It didn't hit the pig, but it definitely had a big deterrent effect.
So there haven’t been any wild boars coming recently.
"You can go if you want. It's pretty calm during the day on the mountain these days."
Ever since Chen Ling and the others agreed to those two conditions.
The main thing is to bring them some good-looking clothes from outside.
The people in the Miao village were very kind to them.
Even if they just questioned their ability to hunt wild boars, they didn’t say anything unpleasant.
I also want to find an opportunity to ask Chen Ling to bring a camera to take pictures.
So Chen Ling and the others can do whatever they want, as long as it's not excessive and doesn't violate taboos.
But today, I don’t know if it’s Zhao Dahai who is having good luck as a newbie, or it’s the Lord of the Land who is blessing him.
There was no need for them to go looking for prey in the mountains in the afternoon, and the prey came to their door by themselves.
At that time, they had washed up, had a simple lunch, and were resting. Zhao Dahai was so excited that he took the dog out for a walk.
But not long after, I heard a dog barking outside.
Accompanied by the barking of dogs, there was a loud sound of "哐, 哐, 哐".
I ran out and saw a furious wild boar roaring and charging in front of the village gate. The village gate stood like an archway, and there was a somewhat crude and inconspicuous watchtower next to it.
This wild boar was hitting the watchtower.
Look carefully, this wild boar is still injured.
At this time, Zhao Dahai hurried back to call for help, but the dogs in the village had already rushed over.
But one of these dogs went up and was picked off.
Especially the dogs in the village here are generally smaller in size. When encountering an angry wild boar, even if a group of them rushes towards it... the wild boar's huge head will flick up, and the dogs that rush forward will be very angry. The few who could stop it were directly picked up and quickly spun in mid-air and flew out.
Soon, the furious wild boar pinned down a dog, opened its mouth and began to bite wildly.
The people in Ranjiazhai were so angry when they saw this situation that they rushed forward.
The red-eyed wild boar immediately abandons the pack of dogs as soon as it sees a person and rushes towards him, howling.
Encountering such a wild boar in the mountains is very scary when there are few people, but now this wild boar rushes to the door on its own.
Someone in the village has a gun, so naturally they won’t be afraid of it.
Needless to say, the young men of the hunting team were very good at shooting. They fired several shots in a row. Before the wild boar could even rush forward, it was shot all over its body and was killed directly.
At this time, everyone had time to ask Zhao Dahai what was going on.
Actually, Zhao Dahai doesn’t know either.
As soon as he went out with his two dogs, he saw this wild boar roaring and charging towards him from the grass not far away.
He knew how powerful this head-on pig was, and he had nothing to do with him, so he hurried back to call for help.
When everyone heard this, they felt a little emotional about Zhao Dahai's luck in encountering a pig when he went out. Seeing his obviously frightened look, they wanted to laugh a little.
Afterwards, several elderly people from Ranjiazhai walked up and took a look.
It is said that this wild boar was probably injured during a previous hunt, and now it has come back to take revenge after smelling the smell.
The wild boar's vision is just that, but its sense of smell is better than that of ordinary dogs.
And this thing also holds a grudge.
I will remember the scent of my enemy for a long time. Sometimes, after more than half a year, I will be retaliated by a wild boar when I enter the mountains.
……
A wild boar came to take revenge at noon.
This matter is not over yet.
In the evening, Chen Ling and the others had dinner at the little old man's house. After eating, they would accompany Wang Qingzhong to pay homage to the Lord of the Land.
While I was eating, I suddenly heard a group of dogs barking outside, and intensive drumbeats and noisy shouts sounded on the mountain.
"Huh? The drums are playing, are you going to start worshiping the land?"
Zhao Dahai stood up suddenly.
The faces of the little old man and his two nephews changed: "...No, it's not us at Sanxiping who are playing drums, it's the drumming coming from Xiongjiazhai on the opposite mountain. There's something wrong."
In these Miao villages that are close to each other, most of the time, drums are used to communicate anything.
In the mountains, the sound of drums travels far.
At night it sounded like it was somewhere nearby, but in fact it was the village on the mountain to the southeast that Chen Ling and the others passed by during the day.
Led by the surname Xiong Jiazhai.
While they were talking, people were lighting torches outside one after another, and there were bursts of rapid footsteps passing by the door.
The hunting team from Ranjiazhai is gathering.
"Yada! Yada!"
In the distance, I heard such a shout coming from the opposite mountain.
“It’s a wild boar again. It only lasted seven or eight days, and these guys started again!”
The little old man stomped his feet bitterly.
Shanmao and Chen Ling looked at each other: "Uncle Ran, let's go too."
"Okay, Jinba, Muwa, go and light the torch."
......
"Yada! Yada! Yada!"
Light the torch , took their guns and hunting knives, and as soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, still dozens of meters away from the village gate, someone shouted loudly outside.
While shouting, there was the boiling sound of dogs barking and drumming.
In the vast darkness, looking out from the gate of Ranjiazhai, a group of torches were swaying rapidly in the fields.
The sound of humans, dogs, drums, and intermittent gunshots intertwined together in the night.
In front of the crowd, a group of black shadows were running rampant, running from northwest to southeast, making low pig sounds of "Feng'er, Feng'er".
"Woo, woo——"
The little old man blew the plum tube, and soon someone came over to report the situation.
"Grandpa Ninth, it was the wild boar king that came out of Xiongjiazhai. It is said that it weighed more than 800 pounds and dug up the graves of their ancestors."
