Chapter 506: The Three Hunting Stories of the Miao Family
One person was surprised.
The two of them were shocked.
The dog was so frightened that the leopard raised its head and barked "woof" when it walked away.
“This dog did well when hunting in the orchard, but once it entered the mountains, it lost its ability.”
A slight flash of disappointment flashed in Chen Ling's heart. The mountain dog had never climbed the mountain, so it was a bit unworthy of its name.
But soon, this disappointment was dispelled by the surprise.
There are leopards here?
So, is it possible...
"Lingzi, what was that just now? Is it a leopard?"
"It's a leopard, trying to catch monkeys to eat."
"Hiss, it's really scary, the roots of my hair just exploded..."
"That's right, monkey."
The Wang Qingwen brothers hurried forward to check on the fallen monkey.
"This monkey is already dead. Let's sneak back later. It can be regarded as more or less a prey."
I saw that the throat of this wild monkey had been bitten open, and when its head fell from the tree, it hit the rock and was bloody and bloody.
The dead can no longer die.
“Huh? What is this?”
As soon as Wang Qingwen pulled the wild monkey and turned it over, he saw that the wild monkey was holding a dry and bare hand. Something with a long tail.
At first glance, this thing looks like a long-dead cat that has been dried by the sun, with no hair and only dry skin.
"It can't be a little leopard, right? A wild monkey caught the little leopard and killed it? That's why the leopard was provoked?"
"Brother, you are really good at guessing."
Wang Qingzhong next to him looked at it The child was amused: "This is not a little leopard. How could the little leopard stick to the hand of this wild monkey?
This is a little monkey. I don't know why it didn't survive. After it died, the mother The monkey is reluctant to leave it and will hold it in his arms until it stinks and rots.
Doesn’t this stick to your hands? Only the skin is left, and I don’t know how long it has been dead. "
"Oh, that's it. I heard my father talk about this kind of thing. "
Wang Qingwen squatted down and smacked his lips: "Wild monkeys are really annoying. Ling Zi, can you take this monkey back? "
"...can bring it. ”
Chen Ling thought for a while, this monkey is the prey of the leopard. Seizing food from the leopard’s mouth will easily cause the leopard to hold grudges and retaliate.
But for him, who has been thinking about the leopard for a long time, this is not a bad thing.
It would be a good thing if the leopard could take the initiative to seek revenge.
"It's good if you can take it with you. This is more or less a prey. We can't stay in the Miao village forever. My parents must still be worried about Azhong at home.
Hit it early Enough prey, go back early
Azhong, get some grass, make a straw pole and take this wild monkey with you. ”
As Wang Qingwen said this, he took out a "Ghost-head Knife" given to them by the Miao Village and went to pick some long weeds to cut.
The ghost head knife of Miao Village looks like a sickle without a curve, just like the bamboo strips used by bamboo craftsmen.
When necessary, mount the ghost head knife on a wooden stick to become a long knife.
It can be used for self-defense when encountering ferocious beasts.
This is similar to the hoe and knife they have over there...
Without the long stick, it is just an ordinary hunting knife slung around the waist. With the stick attached, it becomes a majestic long knife.
Simple but useful.
Mow the grass, bundle it, and wrap it around several times to make a grass basket.
This grass bamboo basket can not only be used for hunting.
Sometimes I catch a chicken or something and go to the market to sell it, or I cut some meat. It's the same thing. It's very convenient to use local materials.
After the brothers finished it, they saw Chen Ling also holding a ghost-headed knife and looking like he was about to skin the wild monkey.
Just asked: "Ling Zi, what are you doing?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Since wild monkeys are considered prey, I have to cut off two pieces of tail and leave them here... ”
Chen Ling blinked.
The two uncles and brothers understood immediately.
This is reserved for the 'mountain spirits and ghosts' who work for the Lord of the Earth.
If you were there, you would be offering sacrifices to the mountain god.
I stopped talking immediately.
Just watch quietly.
But they didn’t know that Chen Ling had other purposes besides this.
Just to lure the leopard.
Chen Ling prepared several hunting drugs last night.
There are those who drive away animals.
There are also those that attract animals.
They are all produced by Dongtian.
Now while cutting off the monkey's tail, let's take some bait.
It depends on whether the leopard will take the bait.
He actually had no idea about this kind of thing.
Looking at the direction in which the leopard left, I thought: 'Felines are cautious, we can't stay here for a long time, it depends on luck. ’
When he was at home, he used a trap to trap giant lynx in a particularly deep animal trail deep in the Daqin Mountains.
As a result, nothing was found.
And his repeated failures in catching leopards made him not very confident.
Now the bait is taken, that is, if there are jujubes but there are no jujubes, it will take two shots.
Cut off the monkey's tail at the root, chop it into several sections, and scatter them around.
In the grass, on rocks, on hanging branches...
Finished one by one.
Chen Ling left a rough mark.
This is a signal to the Miao people.
Then he took out the plum tube and blew out a loud sound, three short and three long, spreading through the mountains and forests.
This is a message to the Bobcats.
Tell them that there are wild animals out there and they should be careful.
“Let’s go, there is nothing here, the wild monkeys have also been scared away... Let’s go to the water first and have a look.”
Take the dead wild monkeys with grass After the bundle was tied, Wang Qingzhong carried it in his hand, and the three of them led the dogs and slowly went down the steep mountain road to the stream at the foot of the mountain.
Leopards are seen nearby.
Choose to attack the monkey group and hunt monkeys.
Instead of a wild boar.
This actually explains the problem to a certain extent.
Maybe the wild boar herd is not nearby.
Or...
Now that the pig herd is growing, the leopard has no chance to attack.
But at this time, the wild boars are in their breeding season.
If there are piglets, they are still easy to catch for jackals, tigers and leopards.
And it tastes delicious.
This means that the wild boar herd is most likely not nearby.
Chen Ling guessed in his mind.
The three of them have arrived at the water's edge.
Listening to the sound of running water, I used a hunting knife to dig through the dense weeds, looking for traces of wild boars.
Chen Ling was mentally prepared to fall short this time.
Unexpectedly, except for the annoying mosquitoes, everything else went smoothly.
Not long after walking along the stream, I found fresh footprints and excrement left by wild boars in a wide area.
And...
Although this white Taihang dog behaved badly when facing the leopard, after seeing the fresh 'pig trace', after a careful sniffing, it reacted quickly.
Barking quietly, he stretched the chain and started walking up the stream to the southeastern hillside on the other side of the stream.
This surprised Chen Ling.
Before, I thought that this mountain chasing dog rarely came to the mountains and was of no use.
I didn't expect it to be good.
So he waved his hands to the uncle and the brothers, "If you find a slut, just grab the pig trace and go over."
As for the uncle and the two brothers, if they really get started, they are very good at hunting. Know nothing about it.
Not as good as Wang Jusheng and his brother-in-law.
But the one good thing about the two of them is that they do whatever Chen Ling says.
Moreover, I grew up in the mountains over Fenglei Town and often walked in the mountains.
Far more powerful than Zhao Dahai.
“I really didn’t expect that a leopard was seen nearby, and these wild boars didn’t go far... I’m afraid this leopard just followed these wild boars from the high mountains...”
"Yes, we are over there at Yaowang Village. There are more wild boars and deer, and wolves are starting to make a fuss, but we can only hear the howling of wolves, and there are none near the village."
"Well, as long as they are not near the village. , otherwise our village may have to pull out the wolf-fighting team for training like the Miao village.”
…That’s how things are in the mountains.
Although many wild animals ran into the mountains near Chenwangzhuang.
But that doesn’t mean that everything has passed, and no one wants to stay in their original home.
A large number of wild beasts left.
It turns out that the survivability of jackals, tigers and leopards is weaker than that of other similar species.
This is the time to be like a fish in water.
How could you be willing to leave?
It’s just that they were originally weak, or the group size was small.
So most of them only hear their voices but never see their traces.
It's not like those large-scale wolves and jackals that attract people's attention.
......
Going southwest from Leijialing is the direction of the Miao villages in Ranjiazhai.
There are also villages to the southeast.
But the mountains here will gradually slow down.
Although it is not like the one at Ranjiazhai, there is still a spacious dam.
But it does feel much easier to walk.
Less than an hour.
Chen Ling and the others climbed over several hills and ravines.
The trees here are tall and strong, many old trees are as thick as three people hugging each other.
There are also dense bamboo forests, spread over large areas.
Through the bamboo forest and through the pine forest.
There are the most traces of wild boars in the pine forest.
Thick pine needles were arched out in many places.
The thick pine trees were covered with pig hair, and the bark was rubbed off by wild boars.
There was even a lot of flowing rosin that was rubbed beyond recognition by wild boars.
It becomes a powerful insect repellent on them, mixing with mud to form layers of thick ‘armor’.
"Woof woof woof~"
The white dog was barking, peeing under a pine tree on the outer edge of the pine forest on the ridge with its legs crossed, while looking down the ridge and barking wildly. .
Soon, there was movement in the distance, as if something was disturbed.
"Huh? There are pigs?"
Chen Ling's eyes narrowed.
With his eyesight, he could already see the black figure shaking.
"Have you found it?"
Wang Qingwen and the two quickly put away the debris on their bodies, and then held the guns in their hands, fearing that their accuracy would be affected later.
Even the dead monkey was thrown onto the treetop nearby.
"Lingzi, what should we do, do you want to go up to us?"
"No, I'll just come... You and the eldest brother will guard this place, and later they will see a wild boar coming with guns raised. Just fight.”
He means that he took the dog to chase the pig.
This is the ridge, and the wild boars are driven away. It is very difficult to rush up in panic.
Wild wolves go up the mountain, pigs go down the mountain.
Wild boars are best shot when they are charging up the hillside.
On the other hand, when going down the mountain, it will rush all the way with such force that it can break even small trees, which is extremely dangerous for novices.
The three of them were ready.
Suddenly I heard a dog barking from the other side.
There were also "bang bang" gunshots and bursts of wild boar's sharp howls like killing pigs.
There were also faint shouts of people, covered by the barking of dogs and pigs.
"No, this is Shanmao and the others..."
Chen Ling's expression changed, "Brother, second brother, you better stay here and don't move around. I'll go over and take a look."< br>
Before the Wang Qingwen brothers said anything, they saw Chen Ling tearing off the dog's leash, and one person and one dog rushed down the side of the ridge.
A white dog has no courage in the face of a leopard.
But he is still quite brave when facing the wild boar.
Chen Ling thought that the lynx might have trained them with wild boar blood or something.
When I enter the mountain and see the pigs, I get excited and manic.
Otherwise, the lynx would not have specially selected these two Taihang dogs as the hunting dogs to apologize to the Miao village.
"Woo~"
The sound of plum tubes came from the dense forest on the opposite hillside.
It is the Bobcat that is sending the message, telling the location.
Maybe I heard a dog barking here, but I’m not sure who it was.
Hearing the sound, Chen Ling quickly shouted: "Here we come."
He jumped across the stream at the foot of the mountain and ran up the hillside in two or three steps.
He is extremely fast.
Almost the same as the white Taihang dog next to me.
At this time, hearing his voice, the gunfire from Shanmao and others had stopped.
There was only the increasingly harsh howling of wild boars and the panicked and manic barking of dogs.
Chen Ling quickly approached and saw a large wild boar panting heavily, with red eyes, howling like crazy, and charging left and right in a muddy shallow depression that had accumulated after the rain.
Around it, the lynx held a long ghost head knife and confronted it three or four meters away.
On one side, the yellow Taihang dog was covered in mud and water, barking wildly.
Zhao Dahai and Wang Jusheng were also in a mess.
Especially Zhao Dahai and Wang Jusheng, both of them had lost their shoes, their guns had fallen into the grass not far away, and there was mud on the backs of their heads and backs, as if they had just climbed out of a mud pond.
Everyone was overjoyed to see Chen Ling coming.
Zhao Dahai and Wang Jusheng picked up steel forks and axes, and rushed up with howls.
"Fugui is here, let's capture it together. There was a group of pigs in the pond just now, and they all ran away when the gun was fired. Once this is done, we will continue to chase it."
"Okay, I'll guard the intersection."
The pig has obviously not been immobilized yet. Seeing this, Chen Ling shouted, drew the shotgun from his back, chose a path where the wild boar must pass, guarded the intersection, and was ready.
Pig tracks are very dense here.
But ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand. Let’s deal with the one in front of us first.
Chen Ling came over.
People have helpers, and dogs also have helpers.
When everyone rushed forward, the courage of the two mountain dogs suddenly increased as soon as they met.
Even the screams were noticeably more energetic.
It barked, opened its mouth and bit the wild boar’s legs, ears and other parts.
Suddenly the wild boar’s cry became even more pitiful.
But the strange thing is...
This wild boar ignored the biting and fighting between the two dogs.
With red eyes, he screamed and bumped into people.
Zhao Dahai and Wang Jusheng were inexperienced and rushed the hardest, using axes and steel forks to greet the wild boar.
In a confrontation, the wild boar was injured, but the wild boar also charged into it in anger, knocking it back twice.
Fortunately, Wang Jusheng was holding a steel fork. If he had been holding an axe, and he was not as fat as Zhao Dahai, he would probably have been gored.
The second idiot also wanted to have sex, but was pulled away by the bobcat.
The bobcat ducked away, leaving the wild boar and the two dogs to fight and rush out.
This was a deliberate move in the direction of Chen Ling. The two of them cooperated very well. As soon as the bobcat caught up, Chen Ling, who was already prepared, took advantage of the fact that the two dogs were one position behind the wild boar and aimed at the wild boar. Shot.
A "bang" shot.
The wild boar, covered in mud and water, staggered, but its momentum remained unabated, howling and angrily trying to rush towards Chen Ling.
Chen Ling quickly fired again.
The pig suddenly fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhao Dahai and others breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the rich are here, it was really dangerous just now."
Shan Mao was a little speechless when he heard this.
The fat guy still has the nerve to say it.
If he and Chen Ling didn't have these rookies following them, they could easily get rid of the pig without a dog.
It was just because they were so excited when they saw the pigs that they couldn't hold back and shot. As a result, the pigs became restless and rushed towards them. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to hide quickly without being injured, and this one was left behind. A wild boar wounded by a gun.
But even so, Zhao Dahai and Zhao Dahai were overturned twice in a row.
But now is not the time to talk about this. The Bobcats also know that Zhao Dahai is a complete rookie, and Wang Jusheng also wants to help Chen Ling, so there is nothing to blame.
While telling them not to behave like this in the future, he and Chen Ling dealt with the dead wild boar together.
"By the way, Fugui, what happened to your signal before? Did you encounter a wolf?"
"No, I encountered a leopard, catching monkeys on the tree."
"What? Leopard? No way, there are pigs nearby, is the leopard stupid? Don't catch wild boars and monkeys?"< br>
The lynx’s first reaction upon hearing the leopard was the same as Chen Ling’s.
