Chapter 62 Hunting
The two of them were quietly staring at the hillside not far away, and this was deep in the mountains.
Occasionally, you can hear the howling of wild cats and dogs.
Wild cats are several times larger than domestic cats, and wild dogs can meet only fat if they are lucky.
The owl flew back and forth between the branches continuously, and soon the sound of a few low sounds.
You can also vaguely see the situation on the opposite mountainside while the night is dark.
Just as the two were still searching for wild cats and dogs, they suddenly heard footsteps vaguely on the avenue at the foot of the mountain, and they were a little quick and seemed to be running away.
From time to time, you can always hear the sound of iron chains colliding, or the sound of metal stones dragging on the ground rubbing.
After a while, the figure appeared from the bottom of the hill at the corner of the bridge, and looked a little panicked when he saw him.
As I walked, I looked around, for fear that something unknown would appear from the mountain.
Many legends cannot be separated from the hills, and ghosts, monsters, etc. are all topics of conversations at the dinner table for villagers. Those who are more timid will be extremely scared.
It was obvious that the man's steps were a bit messy, and his cautious and panicked expression was probably a person who did not walk at night often and was already extremely scared, like a frightened bird, with a mysterious swallow falling.
He followed him with a dog, obviously to bring it with him to strengthen his courage. Ivanqiu and Ivanguo looked at each other.
The two looked at each other with malicious intentions, obviously trying to make a prank, scaring the coward and seeing how he would react.
This area is often said to have earth ghosts appear, especially when the night is dark.
Many people who pass here alone will occasionally encounter ghosts who throw away the soil.
Ivanqiu grabbed a handful of soil and scattered it in the bamboo forest under the hills, and only the "rustling" sound was heard.
The person walking under the hills suddenly looked at the bamboo forest by the road.
Wiping the sweat beads that kept coming out of excessive tension on his forehead, he widened his eyes and kept searching for the source of the sound.
The sound of sand falling from the bamboo forest again sounded, and the butts still looked empty.
The man subconsciously thought of something, and suddenly threw down the dog chain, shook his arms, ran away.
Even the hat on his head fell to the ground and didn't care to bend over to pick it up. His steps were so nervous that he was extremely embarrassed.
When the dog saw the owner running desperately, he also started running quickly. The chain was dragged on the road and rubbed against the stones continuously.
The man heard the sound and continued to speed up, and the sound of the dog chain disappeared into the hills.
The two of them covered their mouths and held back their laughter and giggled.
Ivanqiu admires Ivanguo's courage very much. He has never been afraid of ghosts and gods.
One year, they were only in their teenage years. One night they walked on the road at night and were thrown on their bodies by unreasonable soil.
At that time, Ivanqiu was obviously very scared, but Ivanqiu looked around and shouted at the top of the mountain, and if he didn't come out, he would smash the stone. The prankster responded awkwardly and apologized.
Since then, Ivanqiu has understood this inside story a little bit, most of which is due to human factors.
But based on many legends, they are more or less skeptical.
The two of them lay until midnight. Ivanqiu was a little tired and spread the small blanket he brought, wrapping up his whole body and lying on the ground with half his eyes.
From time to time, I would look up and look at the opposite mountainside.
Silence has been like this between the two people. Hunting outside cannot be as vocal as at home.
Ivan Kingdom has the most experience of being able to endure loneliness and silence.
Whenever he goes out with a hunting rifle, he will hunt for two or three days, and he will change his posture after a long time.
But there should not be too many actions, as this will affect nearby prey, so as to avoid all previous hunting efforts being wasted.
By midnight, the moon had already paddled towards the western sky.
A wild dog came out to find food halfway up the mountain.
I sniffed east and looked west and then walked and stopped, searching with great caution and carefulness.
Suddenly it jumped forward and rushed forward, obviously under its approach.
It brought a sense of threat to some small animals, and the small animals had to change positions immediately to escape from the dangerous area.
The common feature of animals and humans is self-rescue consciousness. As long as you know there are dangers around you, you will immediately escape. However, human wisdom is more wiser and more knowledgeable about resolving crises.
Ivanqiu gently patted Ivanqiu and made a gesture. Ivanqiu already understood.
The two of them were still crawling on the ground and muzzled their guns to keep aiming at the wild dog with some food in their mouths. They were still waiting for it to stop and bite their prey before they could shoot it fatal.
The gun of Ivan Kingdom continued to move with the wild dog until the wild dog stopped, and a few screams rang out.
A few wild dogs jumped out of another place instantly and shared the food they had just caught with.
Ivanguo frowned, his expression focused on staring at the group of wild dogs on the opposite side, and he could take any hunting action at any time.
Suddenly a wild dog jumped to a flat stone on the hillside and looked around.
Ivanguo quickly moved his muzzle, pointed it at the wild dog's head, and then pulled the trigger.
With the loud explosion, the piston connecting rod pushed the bolt to rotate, and the rear seat of the bolt was bombed.
The bullet flew through the air to the head on the huge rock on the opposite mountainside, and stuffed it hard into it like a small hole filled with mud.
The wild dog was knocked to the stone by a huge impact force and smashed into the pile of wild dogs that were still snatching food.
The whole stiff body continued to stretch back and forth, and the limbs kept kicking and retracting.
Its eyes were terrifyingly ferocious, and its incredible and unwilling expression was completely frozen in the final struggle.
The wild dogs were frightened by the sudden gunfire and the bodies of their companions to flee.
Ivanguo rubbed his slightly sour eyes, and the gunshots were already sounding, which had already alarmed the prey nearby here, so there was no need to stay any longer.
Ivanqiu packed up his guns and followed the faint moonlight to find the place where the wild dog fell.
The wild dog was obviously much bigger than the dog at home. The two of them took out the prepared snakeskin bag, stuffed the dog in, and stepped on it and carried it home with their backs.
The mountain village is particularly quiet, so quiet that only the sound of each other's footsteps step by step on the stone slab.
The moment they returned home, the two began to peel and divide the flesh.
In the past, the peeled fur was left for Ivana to sell on the street, and the meat could be divided equally.
The two of them completed a series of processes in a tacit understanding. After they finished all this, the sky began to shine slightly.
Ivanko and Ivanqiu simply fry some dog meat, and Ivanqiu went home after eating it.
Then he continued to sleep until the evening before getting up.
Since no one at home came back, he washed the rice and set the fire to cook, and stewed the dog meat he distributed this morning.
Then he called his grandfather and his family to have dinner together.
At the dining table, my mother would occasionally ask about her recent interactions with Li Simeng.
Then he pointed to the dog meat that had not been cooked and said to Ivanaki, "After eating, bring a few pounds to them to taste."
They here naturally refer to Li Simeng's home.
Ivanqiu nodded and responded briefly. After dinner, he cut off the best kilograms of dog meat and went to Li Simeng's house to visit.
Although Li Simeng's family is not short of meat, this kind of wild game has never been eaten.
