In the past, with so many prey dangling in front of his eyes, Chen Ling would have shot them long ago.
Not only did they shoot, but they also let the dogs chase them, and the hawks also had to follow and drive them away.
Harvest as much as possible.
Also let the two dogs go hunting.
He endured it today.
The scene in front of him really shocked him, and his heart was beating violently.
I just widened my eyes, trying to figure out what was going on.
Does it have anything to do with those strange things in the mountains and forests, such as pheasants that only get their blood sucked but not their meat?
So the two dogs and the weasel were all quieted down and observed quietly.
Chen Ling himself quietly found a big tree and climbed up.
After climbing higher and looking further, I realized that the target of these wild animals was a strange "big pond".
There were two or three wild sheep of different species drinking at the water's edge.
There are also mountain donkeys mixed in.
Subsequently, a large herd of deer also ran to the large pond and began to drink water.
This pond is like a large weir pond in the village.
The large weir pond is rectangular, nearly fifty meters long and about twenty meters wide.
Of course this pond is not that big.
The length and width are also irregular. Three sides have very steep slopes, and the last side is open and flat, connected to another mountain forest.
At this time, the three steep slopes were filled with all kinds of wild animals.
The scene is very spectacular.
"This guy is just like the great migration of animals in Africa. This big scene is just for drinking water?"
Chen Ling still felt strange in his heart, "Shanzhong Lake, Laohe Bay, and The small rivers and ditches at the foot of the mountain are connected to the water in my house...
The water sources in those places are not as attractive to them as this small pond. ”
That’s what I was thinking.
He still did not act rashly and quietly observed the situation over there.
Heiwa Xiaojin under the tree did not hide intentionally. He and the weasels were on a huge rock, watching from a distance, watching the prey.
Also alert to the approach of wolves on those high mountains.
Time passed minute by minute...
The wild animals seemed not to come to the party, and left one after another after drinking the water.
Everyone who comes and goes is inevitably stared at by the long-awaited wild beasts lurking in the mountains and forests not far from the water.
This... really feels a bit like those animals on the African savanna.
Large groups of grass animals come and go here.
There are also females with cubs coming.
After the large group of grass beasts leaves, they will bring their young ones to drink water.
Not to mention, the large herds of deer and wild sheep are a bit dizzying.
On the contrary, these female animals with cubs are more eye-catching.
What attracted most of Chen Ling's attention was these female beasts with cubs.
For example, green sheep...
A type of wild sheep.
Also called goral.
Except for the lack of beard and brown and black fur, he is almost exactly like a goat.
The female goral walked through the dense forest. After looking around for a while, she turned back and called twice into the forest.
The sound of this thing is very quiet.
In the silent mountain forest, you can only see movements but not hear sounds.
After calling twice, he went to the pond, lowered his head, and began to drink water leisurely.
After a while, two more small gorals emerged from the forest. They also imitated the female gorals and began to drink water.
The little goral was very naughty and ran away after drinking water for a while. The female goral stood beside it after drinking the water, looking very satisfied.
Just when the female goral was getting ready to leave.
A little wild boar sprang out, hurriedly scaring away the birds on the top of the tree.
It also comes to drink water.
But the little thing is very frivolous and reckless, and doesn't pay attention to anything.
After running over, he rushed into the pond.
I don’t know if the little wild boar was too thirsty or was deliberately causing trouble and directly made the pond muddy.
The mother goral was frightened, and the two goral cubs were also frightened. They ran into the forest and disappeared.
Fortunately, they left in time.
After a while, the screams of deer and sheep were heard in the distant forest.
This was obviously an ambush by a pack of wolves.
Little wild boars are not afraid. They are patterned pigs, wild and playful. Not just one of them came over, but many more came from nowhere, coming in groups to the pond. Drink water.
A pig is a pig.
It’s no different from the pigs at home.
Drinking water is not hygienic either.
I soaked my body and hooves directly into the water and drank hard.
Soon after, the big wild boar herd also came.
The big wild boars didn't care much. They jumped into the water and took a bath directly in the bathhouse.
This large family makes many grass beasts afraid to approach.
Two pairs of mountain donkeys, mother and son, are quite afraid of them.
I just wandered with the cubs on the other side of the large pond, not drinking water. I carefully looked at the wild boars in the pond, and licked the soil on the ground from time to time. This was Lick the salt.
The two little mountain donkeys are very naughty.
They are courageous and don't care about anything. If they want to drink water, they will take a few sips. If they don't want to drink, they will shuttle back and forth under the mother's belly.
The two little guys were much smaller than the one Chen Ling had delivered, jumping around and playing with each other.
From time to time, he stopped and stared curiously at the group of wild boars bathing in the pond.
Because these wild boars are extremely restless and always make noises in the water by making noises.
In addition to these, small beasts also come and go here.
Squirrels, mountain raccoons, and porcupines carrying arrows all over their bodies also passed by on their short legs.
This is a very harmonious and warm scene.
But harmony and warmth are relative
Just like the scenes of animals drinking water in the African grasslands, if there are too many grass animals, predators will be attracted.
In addition to wolves, there are also leopards and jackals lingering and lurking nearby. They will often seize the opportunity to suddenly burst out of the forest and pounce on the grass animals by the water.
Scare them away.
The unlucky ones who couldn't run were dragged deep into the jungle or high into the mountains.
The wild boar taking a bath in the pond was lucky enough to escape.
I watched in the tree for a long time.
Chen Ling discovered:
These beasts seem to have a tacit understanding. They catch their prey and run away. Whether it is a wolf or a leopard, they do not leave a bloody smell near the pond for fear of disturbing them. The prey dare not come to drink water.
This made Chen Ling even more curious about what was so strange about this place.
Seeing that in the afternoon, the wild boars still wanted to hang around, the wild sheep from the mountains came in batches, and a group of sika deer also came.
Chen Ling saw that the wolves had retreated after hunting.
As for leopards, whether it is a clouded leopard or a leopard, he cannot find it if he hides.
Heiwa and the others didn’t respond anyway.
Chen Ling decided that it was time to go out on his own. With so many prey dangling in front of his eyes, it was unreasonable not to take care of them.
Moreover, the wild boar was too arrogant. When the wolf came, he hid in the pond, and when the wolf left, he still couldn't get out.
In addition to wolves, leopards and jackals also dare not enter the water, which makes these wild boars very unhappy.
Chen Ling decided to teach them a lesson.
Let’s take a look at what mysteries are hidden around the pond.
Chen Ling's marksmanship is very accurate.
Aiming at the deer group first, he shot down a grass deer with one shot...
Heiwa Xiaojin rushed forward, and the weasels on Heiwa's back also jumped one by one when they caught up with the deer group. Get on the back of a sika deer and show off your skills.
Er Baldy was not to be outdone. After the wild boars were disturbed by the gunshots, he flew toward the pond. His sharp claws left scars on the wild boars and knocked them away from the pond. out.
As soon as the wild boars came ashore, Chen Ling found the opportunity and fired again.
There were too many deer to eat, and wild boars were rare these days, and they hadn’t been eaten for a long time. The two Hei Wa turned around and pounced on them, each stopped one, and then bit it.
For a moment, the forest was filled with frightened deer and pigs screaming, mixed with Heiwa's roar of excitement when he tasted blood, creating a chaotic mess.
"If it weren't for a longer observation, I would have shot a few more wild sheep just now."
After Chen Ling jumped down from the tree, he was still mumbling.
To be honest, he has never seen so many wild sheep since he was a child.
And there are at least three different types of wild sheep.
Even Chen Ling couldn't tell the difference clearly.
“But with a place like this, there will be many opportunities later, so let’s find out what’s going on first.”
Chen Ling collected all the prey that fell by the pond and in the forest. Into the cave.
Heiwa Xiaojin hasn’t been hunting in the mountains for a long time.
Today I saw so many prey dangling in front of me and endured so much time. Now I only harvested three wild boars and five wild deer. They obviously haven't had enough fun yet.
Even the five little guys, the weasel family, jumped up and down excitedly and wanted to chase the prey.
Chen Ling also wanted to check the situation of the pond nearby, so he released them all.
Let them go their separate ways to find prey.
Wandering around this big pond alone.
Then he discovered that the layout of this large pond was different from the large weir pond in the village.
There are actually several springs on the mountain wall on the south side.
“There are so many springs.”
Chen Ling carefully held a few handfuls in his hands and tried them one by one.
It is still different from the spring on the mountain wall on the west side of my village.
If that is an ice spring. These springs are relatively serious mountain springs.
"One, two, three, four... On a mountain, there are five springs, three of which are producing water..."
Chen Ling counted and found that three of the five springs were producing water. Two are out of the water.
He boldly tasted it, but frowned...
"This water is so clear, why does it smell like tree roots?"
Saying that, he swallowed quickly.
The taste is so strange.
I feel a little regretful.
Mainly because I was afraid that so many wild animals would come to drink the water and leave feces and urine near the spring.
After all, things like mountain donkeys and wild sheep can fly over walls and climb walls, so they can climb very high.
Chen Ling frowned and looked around the place.
Even though this place is relatively high, there are still many footprints of wild animals.
“There are springs again.”
“There are seven now, right?”
Chen Ling continued to walk around this place.
Slowly, he remembered that he had been here before and had hunted squirrels on the opposite mountain. There was a valley between the two mountains, and the valley was also a beast trail.
The footprints of a giant lynx have also been found.
He was caught here.
As a result, I found two more springs on the way, and the water flow was very small.
There are seven in total.
Walking around the mountain, climbing higher and higher, he ignored even the wolves and jackals peeking at him in the forest opposite.
In this way, we slowly returned to the original place, near the big pond.
This time he finally realized something was wrong.
So we quickly climbed up the mountain.
It was just after three o'clock in the afternoon. The mountain breeze was refreshing and the vegetation on the mountain was lush and green.
There are clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, gurgling streams at the foot of the mountain, and springs gurgling out on the mountainside and flowing into the ponds.
This is a beautiful scenery of green mountains, green waters and picturesque scenery.
But Chen Ling had no time to appreciate these. He climbed to the top of the mountain and was a little shocked by the sight in front of him.
On the top of the mountain, a large pot-shaped pit appeared in front of him.
It was as if someone had built a stove and set up a big pot on the top of the mountain.
The pit was full of jumbled stones and lush weeds, but there were very few trees in the pit.
Trees grow on the edge of the pit.
Below the edge of the place...
Needless to say, it is exactly where the spring breaks out of the wall.
“It turns out that there are so many springs here because there are sinkholes on them...”
Chen Ling felt that he had finally discovered the truth: "The big tree took root at the edge, and the rain water broke through the gap along the root."
"Huh? There are a lot of medicinal materials in this pit?"
Chen Ling's eyes lit up and he forgot about the wild animals gathering here that he was still struggling with before. His attention was attracted by some herbs around and at the bottom of the pit.
He has good eyesight, and some rattan medicinal materials such as Uncaria are too lush.
You can see it at a glance.
We even saw Ganoderma lucidum growing in many places on the rocks on the four walls of Dakeng.
There is no idle grass in the Qinling Mountains.
This trip was not in vain.
......
When Chen Ling discovered the sinkhole, he was like a wild boar entering the vegetable field, harvesting the nearby medicinal materials for a while.
But he didn't linger too greedily for too long.
Anyway, we can come back later.
We set off on our way back in time before it got dark.
It gets dark early in the mountains, and it’s only dusk after leaving the mountains.
Hei Wa and the others also caught up with Chen Ling one after another and followed back.
On this trip, they each gained something.
Heiwa Xiaojin brought back two more grass deer.
The weasels also caught something, but they didn’t bring it back. The blood and hair on their mouths proved everything.
The little ones are also very wild.
As for Er Baldy, he didn’t know where he saw the half-gnawed giant muntjac.
Anyway, deer are the most harvested in general.
Chen Ling also took out a sika deer from the cave, carried it on his shoulders and returned home.
“Hey, Fugui came back so early from hunting this time.”
As soon as Chen Ling returned home, there were many people sitting in the village.
Several strange women sat around Wang Susu and looked at Chen Ling in surprise.
Lao Zhou and the other gentlemen were watching over Qin Rongxian and Wang Cunye, picking up some chestnuts, or helping to continue picking peppers.
"Yes, it is easier to hunt prey in the mountains this year."
Chen Ling responded, and Lao Zhou and the others followed him like doglegs and helped him catch the deer on his shoulders.
I also went to help him get the gun and the sack tied around his waist.
There were also those who went to Heiwa Xiaojin to help with a smile. They also had prey in their mouths.
Grass deer are very heavy and they cannot carry them very far.
Chen Ling helped them carry it all the way, but when they got home, they refused to let Chen Ling help.
You have to hold it in your mouth.
My own trophies, why are you tired?
You must hold it yourself.
Er Baldy also had this kind of virtue. He grabbed the half of the big muntjac and flew around in the sky before throwing it to the ground.
It makes people look up and marvel.
They were so proud.
"Holy crap, there are medicinal materials in this sack. There are so many medicinal materials, and there are such large pieces of Ganoderma lucidum... Oh my god, you are so rich."
Another person exclaimed when he opened the sack.
The group of women couldn't help but look sideways.
One of the young women holding a baby seemed familiar to Chen Ling.
But he didn’t think much about it, and just followed the words and said: "How can we make a fortune? This is all. Okay, don’t look at it. I have to remove the soil and get the plaque to dry."
"Come on, come on, let's help you."
Seeing Chen Ling sitting on the wooden pillar handling these medicinal materials, they also found it interesting and gathered around to help.
The women over there couldn't help but look over here and murmured softly.
Chen Ling carrying a deer on his shoulders and a sack of herbs on his waist was still very novel to them.
At the same time, it is quite majestic to carry a dog and mount a hawk.
While Chen Ling was packing up the medicinal materials, he also remembered who the woman holding the baby was.
Wang Susu’s old classmate, Niu Xiaoling.
From Fenglei Town, why are you here?
After listening to the two sentences there, I knew that Wang Susu was seeing a doctor with her child.
Chen Ling said deliberately: "Susu, you have just given birth, why are you treating others?"
We are an old couple, and of course Wang Susu knows what Chen Ling means. .
He smiled helplessly at Chen Ling: "This is Xiaoling, my classmate, don't you recognize me? I came here today to hug Xiang Yuhua's baby."
Chen Ling suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Xiang Yuhua? Does she still have the nerve to find you?"
Xiang Yuhua is the wife of that bastard Wei Jun.
Wei Jun was transferred from Fenglei Town to the County Family Planning Commission. He fell in love with a girl from the dance hall. He went to Yuhua to block people, and they made a big fuss. The baby almost died.
At that time, Chen Ling also ran to the hospital every day. Wei Jun asked him to help find someone, but he didn't respond.
Chen Ling thought later that it was probably this incident that made Wei Jun hate him so much.
This happened later.
It is strange that Chen Ling is not angry.
"She must have no face, otherwise how could she let Xiaoling come over."
Wang Susu glanced at Chen Ling, then said to Niu Xiaoling with a smile: "Xiaoling, you are the same, you didn't hide it when you came. You said to me that it was your own child. If I hadn't seen that you were pregnant, would you have planned to hide it and not tell me?"
"Susu, Yuhua feels bad too, no. I dare to come to see you and even say that I am writing to you, causing so much trouble to your family...
If it weren’t for the fact that she, the child, is really helpless, she..."
Niu Xiaoling is actually an honest person, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she didn’t know how to explain it.
I just felt that the more she talked, the worse she got. She couldn't tell clearly.
She even regretted telling the truth just now.
She didn't know that Wang Susu had learned from Sister Xiufen how to judge whether a woman was pregnant or not. It has been practiced for a long time.
When Wang Susu said she was not pregnant just now, she was shocked.
With a guilty conscience, I said everything.
"Don't worry, Xiaoling, it's rare for you to come here. Even if I look at your face, I have to treat this little baby. If you say it's your child, I'll treat it as your child.
The child is right, so I just pretend that I don’t know anything.”
“But Xiaoling, let me say the ugly things first. I have no ability, and the child’s disease is the most difficult to treat. I don’t think so, so don’t rely on me to come and make trouble again..."
Wang Susu was still smiling.
But in Niu Xiaoling’s ears, she was even more embarrassed, and even said that she would definitely not do it.
Chen Ling was also a little surprised.
Okay, my little daughter-in-law is also getting weird. She is making progress.
"In that case, I won't prescribe medicine to the baby. The baby is weak... Take a look at this little prescription and decide whether to use it or not..."
Wang Susu thought for a while and wrote a note.
I really didn’t prescribe any medicine at all.
After this experience, I am afraid that Niu Xiaoling will never come again no matter how thick-skinned she is.
