Early the next morning, when Wei Ran opened his eyes from his hangover, he found that he was lying on the sofa in the restaurant, and the strong and scary Caucasus was squatting on the edge of the sofa with his back to him.
The big fluffy tail was still sweeping around the carpet diligently.
Not far away, Leva was holding a bottle of beer and slowly drinking it. From time to time, he would put down the bottle and pick up a big piece of beer from the table and bring it to the dog's mouth.
Looking at the messy table with cups and plates, in addition to the bottles and cans that were not cleared away last night, there is also a basket full of bread piled high on top.
"Get up quickly when you wake up"
Leva burped, reached out and opened the refrigerator beside him, took out a bottle of beer and threw it to Wei Ran.
"How much did we drink last night?" Wei Ran asked in confusion as he took the beer.
“I only drank one bottle in total.”
Leva picked up the wine bottle again and took a sip, "Sober up and then decide whether we should continue taking pictures or start the bet at the wine table yesterday."
"Bet? What bet?"
Wei Ran asked pretending to be confused. Although the two of them drank a lot last night, they were far from broken. What's more, he took the initiative to propose the bet.
"You yourself took the initiative to invite me to go hunting, and you wanted to make a bet with me."
Leva said with great interest, "If you lose, treat me to Chinese food. If I lose, I'll give you a copy of the two group photos in the darkroom upstairs."
"As long as I don't bet my Rolleiflex double reflex, that's fine." Wei Ran stood up unsteadily, "Old guy, where are we going to hunt?"
"Do you really want to bet?" Leva raised his eyebrows.
"Are you afraid of losing?" Wei Ran deliberately provoked.
"The last time I saw such a confident bastard like you was when that idiot Gorbachev announced his resignation."
Leva stood up while he was talking, patted the big dog on the head, greeted it and said as he walked out, "I'll get two shotguns, how about you prepare breakfast?"
"No problem," Wei Ran said as he also walked out of the restaurant, walked through the camera store and headed towards the restaurant not far away.
For him, betting with Leva was more about bringing the two of them closer and establishing friendship. As for winning or losing, he didn't care, and he believed that the old guy Leva probably didn't care either.
When he returned to the camera store carrying all kinds of food and drinks, there were already two civilian shotguns with scopes installed on the counter, as well as a disposable plastic bag containing only thirty or forty rounds of ammunition at most.
.
"I rented this from the store." Leva picked up a gun and handed it to Wei Ran, adding a temporary chip to the bet. "How about the loser bearing the rent?"
"no problem"
Wei Ran took the rifle, skillfully pulled the bolt and looked at it, then looked at the trigger strangely, and then looked at the position of the muzzle without giving up, "Is this a Mosin Nagant?"
"Mosin Nagant with a plastic stock and a scope."
Leva explained on the side, "The accuracy and power of this gun are pretty good, and it's just right for hunting. Of course, the most important thing is that it's cheap enough."
"I'll bear the rent. How about we get a better gun?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"What gun do you want to change?" Leva asked nonchalantly as he took out a piece of pie from the breakfast bought by Weiran.
"I remember yesterday you said you were a sniper?" Wei Ran paused, "How about replacing it with the gun you used at that time?"
"Forget it, the SVD is not a toy for hunting." Leva waved his hand and refused, "Just use this gun."
Before he finished speaking, Leva had already thrown the second piece of pie into the mouth of the Caucasian. Then he wiped the grease on his clothes casually, took another shotgun on the counter, and called to the Caucasus.
Caucasus got into the van rented by Weiyan.
Seeing this, Wei Ran stopped insisting, grabbed his gun, bullets and the food he bought and followed him out.
After helping the other party lock the door of the store, Wei Ran drove the car out of the city under Leva's guidance, and finally stopped at the edge of a forest.
“Just here”
As Leva spoke, he opened the car door, and the Caucasus immediately jumped out, "You can hunt deer and wild boars during this season. There is no limit to wild boars, but there is only a quota of four reindeer. In addition, if you encounter a forest ranger, remember the number 1
Give me the gun at once."
"Don't worry, it's not my first time hunting." Wei Ran opened the car door as he spoke.
The two did not mention the rules of the competition at all. Leva even refused Wei Ran's help and pressed bullets into the chamber of the shotgun with one hand. Then the two slightly distanced themselves and remained silent.
Walking into the forest noisily.
On the other hand, the Caucasus cleverly picked up the backpack containing food and drink and followed the two of them quietly, always keeping a distance of about five or six meters.
Looking back at the big dog in surprise, Wei Ran pushed a bullet into the chamber and carefully searched for any movement around him.
It can be seen that few people usually visit this forest, and there are no traces of human activities anywhere as far as the eye can see. Coupled with the latitude, there are now a lot of fallen leaves accumulated on the ground of this forest.
This also further increases the difficulty of finding prey.
But no matter what, he had never spent a day in the Hongqi Forest Farm, and Ji Ma was also a qualified hunter, and he had taught himself some hunting skills.
Almost in no particular order, the two stopped one after another. When Wei Ran gently placed the barrel of the gun on the branch of a birch tree, Leva held the barrel of the gun with the remaining half of his right arm.
, his left hand decisively pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
After two almost overlapping gunshots, a ball of blood mist erupted from the shoulder blade of a half-large wild boar that Wei Ran had just discovered. After running forward for a few desperate steps, he straightened his limbs and fell.
Fall to the ground.
Leva's shot on the other side also paid off. The one he shot in the ear was an adult wild boar. Although this wild boar was not too big, its tusks were terrifyingly big. Fortunately, it was an adult wild boar.
The shot was so crisp that the wild boar died before he even realized what was happening.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After these two shots, a piercing scream sounded from the muddy ground in the forest, and the remaining dozen or so wild boars, large and small, immediately headed deeper into the forest risking their lives.
run.
Seeing this, Leva directly used his incomplete right arm to push the trigger of the gun to load the second bullet, and fired his second bullet no slower than Wei Ran.
After the gunfire, a galloping wild boar lay in Leva's scope again, and Weiran also successfully left a second immature wild boar behind.
Obviously, those wild boars that had disappeared would not give them a third chance to shoot. Upon seeing this, Leva simply put away his gun and followed slowly with the Caucasus behind him.
"Why do you always pick the smaller ones to beat?" Leva asked with a smile.
"The meat of the small ones is tender." Wei Ran gave the answer of a foodie as a matter of course, "I can't take this big one away, what are you going to do with it?"
"Take off the four legs," Leva said, stroking the dog's head. "This meat is enough for it to eat for a week, but before that, take a photo for me."
Before he finished speaking, Leva had already sat down next to the wild boar he had shot, and reached out to grab one of the prey's ears. The Caucasus also put down the backpack in his mouth very smartly and squatted down on the wild boar.
On the other side, he opened his mouth and gently held another pig's ear.
"You must often take pictures like this, right?"
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already taken out the Countess' camera from his bag and chose a suitable angle to focus on Leva, his pets and prey.
"Of course" Leva responded with a smile. After the shutter sound sounded, he and the Caucasian released the pig's ears at the same time.
"Get it for me"
Wei Ran handed the camera to the other party, first took out the Mauser bayonet from the metal book under the cover of his backpack, then took out a pair of gloves and put them on, and easily removed the four legs of the wild boar like a surgeon.
When I got down, I didn't forget to help peel off the rough pig skin on the outside.
"How do you do it so skillfully?" Leva looked at Wei Ran in surprise.
"My family is a pig butcher"
Wei Ran took the ax handed over to him with a normal expression, chopped open the ribs with three or two blows, then replaced the bayonet with a pick, and easily tore off a piece of tender tenderloin and threw it to the Caucasus.
Unexpectedly, the big dog, with water running down its paws, not only did not take the piece of meat, but instead took a few steps back to get out of the way of the piece of meat that almost hit its face.
"It only eats what I and my little granddaughter Yana feed it."
Leva proudly bent down to pick up the piece of tenderloin, wiped the stained grass leaves on his trouser legs, and then put it into the mouth of the big Caucasian.
Seeing the dog eat the piece of meat into his stomach in just a few mouthfuls, Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, pulled the two little wild boars he had hunted over, chose a slightly smaller one, and cut open the neck with a knife.
blood vessels, then cleaned the internal organs, and hung it on a pine tree in the distance with a rope.
"Are you going to take it back?"
While Leva was speaking, he also threw the tenderloin that Wei Ran took from the second adult wild boar to his pet.
"In case I can't beat you, I'll just use it to cook you some Chinese dishes."
While Wei Ran responded, he also tied the front and rear legs removed from the other three pigs together and hung them on another tree. These pig legs were the rations prepared for the Caucasus. As for the cleaned internal organs,
Of course I don't want them anymore. It's not that these things are unpalatable, it's just that there are too many parasites.
“I haven’t eaten Chinese food yet”
"If you want to eat Chinese food, you must first defeat me." As he spoke, Wei Ran took off his gloves and hung them on his belt, and picked up the shotgun again.
"Do you really think you can beat me?"
Leva snorted disdainfully, touched the dog's head, picked up the shotgun, chose a new direction and continued moving forward.
From morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, as the sun was about to set, when the two walked out of the forest again, each of them had a deer head with antlers on their backs, even the Caucasus.
On their backs, there were several skinned pig legs or deer legs whose fur was roughly roasted with fire. Of course, throughout the day, Wei Ran also took a lot of photos of Leva and his Caucasus.
photo.
After two or three consecutive trips to load all the prey into the van, Wei Ran and Leva each breathed a sigh of relief in no particular order. In this hunting competition, Wei Ran finally lost by just one shot that missed the target and let the prey go.
Gave it to Leva. It's not that he deliberately let things slip. At most, it's just a matter of good luck or bad luck.
Perhaps because of this, Leva, who was sitting in the car holding his dog, looked very happy. He didn't expect that he almost overturned the car.
But no matter what the process was, when the old man, the young man, and a stuffed Caucasus returned to the camera store, Wei Ran also carried the wild boar whose internal organs had been cleaned into the kitchen.
