The new deer whistle was sent by Zhao Tuanqing. It is made of birch and is stamped with intricate patterns, including a very abstract deer shape, which looks very simple.
The deerskin was cut into thin strips and a thumb-width shoulder strap was tied to it.
"It's so good, I'm afraid I won't even want to use it!"
Lu Lu held this piece of art, and felt reluctant to take it to the mountain to bump into it with him. It was so beautiful.
“If you can’t bear to use it, return it!”
Zhao Tuanqing reached for it.
Lu Lu hurriedly jumped aside: "I got it all, and you still want to take it back. Dad, you can't explain this."
Zhao Tuanqing glared at Lu Lu: "No matter how beautiful something is, it has to be used before it has a soul. If it is left alone, it is just a decoration or a dead thing. What's the point? Just keep it well."
Listening to these words, Lu Lu's heart moved slightly and he had many feelings.
Indeed, many things will become more comfortable and emotional after being used for a long time, because there are always some stories mixed into them.
Just like the set of hammer-lifting tools sent by the old boss Jiang Zewei, they were kept so carefully and passed to Lu Lu just to make them come alive.
"You've got something, why don't you try it! You've been practicing for so many days, it's time to learn it. You're not stupid!"
Zhao Tuanqing said with a smile: "There are doe deer in your meadow. If you catch one with your bare hands, you will be successful."
"Wait until I try it!"
Lu Lu took the deer whistle and blew it more than ten times in succession, feeling the slight difference in the sound of the new deer whistle and the old deer whistle. Then he tried to adjust it and quickly found the feeling.
Hearing the noise outside, Chen Xiuyu, who was drying mushrooms over a fire in the cellar, also came out and trotted over.
I haven't seen Lu Lu tinkering with this thing in the past two days, and he seemed to admire it very much. She was also curious about it.
Lu Lu tried it a few more times and felt confident. He smiled at Zhao Tuanqing and said, "I'll try it!"
He walked a hundred meters into the meadow with the deer whistle in hand, felt the direction a little, then got into the forest and started blowing.
"Ouch..."
Lu Lu hid behind the bushes and blew the deer whistle.
To be precise, deer whistles are not made by blowing, but by holding the thin head in the mouth, inhaling air into the stomach, and adjusting the size of the inhaled airflow to make a whooping or oohing sound.
Depending on the sound produced, the deer attracted can be sika deer, moose or red deer.
It sounds simple, but actually controlling it is not a simple matter.
Lu Lu mainly focused on sika deer. In the past few days, he also practiced the vocalizations of male sika deer.
For these does that have been raised for several months, the fawns have been weaned, and the adult doe has reached the wedding date chosen by nature.
Lu Lu stopped blowing and waited for more than ten minutes. There was a crashing sound among the trees, indicating that the deer were approaching.
After calming down and blowing again, Lu Lu waited quietly.
The doe hesitated, getting closer and closer.
Finally, a bolder one came closer and entered the three-meter range. Lu Lu even held his breath for a moment, hoping that it would get closer.
When the doe took two or three steps closer to the bush and looked towards the bush, Lu Lu suddenly ran out.
The doe was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what she was doing and was about to turn around and run away, she was caught by the hind legs by Lu Lu who pounced on her.
The doe jumped and kicked in fright, but Lu Lu would not let it go. After standing up, he hugged the doe's neck tightly.
After being brought back and let loose in the meadow for such a long time, the fawns imitated deer calls and could come to their side at any time, but these doe deer could not do that and always kept a certain distance. This was the first time Lu Lu had touched them.
In the past two days, Lu Lu was learning deer whistle in Caodianzi. The doe was not attracted, but the fawns often came to the side. Lu Lu also kept some corn in his bag to tease the fawns.
After catching the doe, he immediately took out a handful of corn from the bag and put it near the doe's mouth.
At first, the doe was still struggling hard, but after a while, she seemed to realize that Lu Lu would not hurt her, and with the temptation of the corn, she still tried to eat it.
After eating two handfuls of corn, Lu Lu let it go.
But this time, the doe didn't run very far before she stopped and looked back at Lu Lu.
Lu Lu was also looking at it, and then he took some out of his pocket, motioned to the doe, and tossed it.
The doe hesitantly turned around, took two steps forward, and then refused to come any closer.
After Lu Lu tried shaking the corn in his hand several times to no avail, he could only throw the corn towards it. The doe was frightened again and turned back to pick it up after Lu Lu turned over and left. The other does
Same thing.
In fact, as long as these doe survive this winter, Lu Lu believes that they will be able to get close to them all, because feeding is indispensable.
"good!"
When Lu Lu returned, Zhao Tuanqing smiled at Lu Lu: "Practice more."
This is already a good affirmation.
Lu Lu also knew what Zhao Tuanqing meant. These deer had relaxed their vigilance to a certain extent after living in the meadow for so long, and were incomparable to wild deer living in the mountains.
Lu Lu only managed to convince the doe that the sound he blew with his deer whistle was true.
In just a few days of practice, it is already very good to be able to reach this level.
However, just after he pounced on the doe, it had rained for several days, and the ground became muddy. Lu Lu's clothes were suddenly stained with a lot of mud, which meant that Chen Xiuyu had another set of clothes that needed to be washed.
"Dad, come in and have lunch here!"
After Lu Lu went to the river to wash the mud on his hands and face, he came back and asked Zhao Tuanqing to go into the house.
Zhao Tuanqing was not polite. He entered the house, took off his shoes, sat down directly on the big kang, and began to roll up dry cigarettes for himself.
Needless to say, Lu Lu said that Chen Xiuyu temporarily put down what she was doing, went to the kitchen, and started making food.
Lu Lu went to the bedroom to change into a set of clothes and came out with two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, then brought a bowl of bee pupae and poured Laolongkou for Zhao Tuanqing and himself.
Zhao Tuanqing was also very happy when he saw the bee pupae brought out by Lu Lu.
I stopped smoking the rolled cigarettes, took out the chopsticks, took a bite of bee pupae, and then took a sip of wine, my face was full of comfort.
Having wandered in the mountains all year round, how could he not know the deliciousness of bee pupae?
Last time at Zhangguangcailing, seeing how Zhao Yongke ate without any scruples, Lu Lu knew that they must have eaten too.
"Bring me some when I get back!"
Lu Lu, his disciple, had already recognized him, so he was not polite.
If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, it's straightforward.
"good!"
They were just bee pupae. Zhao Tuanqing liked to eat them, so how could Lu Lu be reluctant to part with them?
After continuing to ask for advice on how to use the deer whistle for a while, Lu Lu asked a question: "Dad, have you ever seen a particularly large cannon egg in your many years in the mountains?"
"The biggest one I've ever seen in the mountains here is about three hundred kilograms. The biggest one I've ever seen in the mountains here is about the same as the one you aborted this time."
Zhao Tuanqing glanced at Lu Lu: "I went to see the cannon egg you killed this time. It's so dangerous."
"Then how did you hit the eggs of this kind of cannon?" Lu Lu was very interested in this question and hoped to learn from Zhao Tuanqing.
"I haven't seen you talk about this in the past two days. I'm still surprised!"
Zhao Tuanqing took a sip of wine, picked up some bee pupae and ate them: "Why do you think of talking about it now?"
"To be honest, I feel a little scared. I have dreamed about it several times in the past two days and I don't want to mention it. But this is another problem that I have to face in case I encounter it in the future."
Even after eating the gall of Big Claw, Lu Lu couldn't get out of the psychological shadow caused by that encounter. At night, he often dreamed of cannon eggs rushing out of the bushes, picking him up and throwing them around.
I woke up from the dream with the cannon egg chasing after me, and I broke out in a cold sweat every time.
Although he killed the cannon egg with his own hands, he could not completely shake off the feeling of being infinitely close to death.
"To be honest, I have never shot such a big cannon egg. I avoided it when I met it in the mountains. There were only two people in my Uulileng, Yongke and I. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time. We ate it in one day
There’s not much meat, and the meat from cannon eggs doesn’t taste good, so why beat it!”
Zhao Yongke was only half a child... That must have happened many years ago.
Hearing Zhao Tuanqing say that he had never fought before, Lu Lu felt somewhat regretful.
As everyone knows, Zhao Tuanqing continued: "I have never fought, but I have seen people fight in Changbai Mountain."
His words rekindled Lu Lu's hope.
"That's an old friend of mine in Changbai Mountain. He is a very powerful gunner. He is a hunter on the mountain. He is not very gregarious. He built a cellar in the mountain by himself. There was a piece of land on the hillside, and he was alone.
He lives in the mountains. In your words, he is called Lao Gouzi."
Zhao Tuanqing said with a smile: "In the production team where he used to be, a cannon egg came from the mountains behind. He was strangled and beaten by others. This thing actually holds a grudge. In the winter, when it went to the nearby mountains, it was everywhere.
Injury, just like you this time, several hunters were injured by cannon eggs.
As a last resort, the production team leader personally came to ask him to take action, but he didn't agree. Only when the superiors brought cigarettes and alcohol did he agree. At that time, he asked him whether he wanted to die or live.
The leader was very embarrassed and said he wanted to live.
The gunner went up the mountain without saying a word, and I followed him to have a look. It's easy to track him in the snow, so it didn't take long to find him..."
When Lu Lu was looking forward to it, Chen Xiuyu brought the food, but his words were suddenly interrupted.
After the food was set and they were eating on the big Kang, Lu Lu offered a toast and then asked, "How did you fight?"
"He didn't let me intervene and asked me to hide behind a tree and watch. I have never seen such a powerful hunter."
Zhao Tuanqing was very emotional, and his expression was full of admiration: "He didn't use a dog, so he just carried a handful of Sanba Gaigai and walked towards the cannon eggs that were eating on the snow. Those were cannon eggs that hurt people.
, as soon as he heard the noise, he looked up and rushed towards him.
He didn't hide or dodge, he just raised his gun and fired, it was just two shots, and the cannonball's front legs seemed to be broken, and he fell to his knees in one fell swoop."
"Then?" Lu Lu asked quickly.
"Then he came back!"
Zhao Tuanqing took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I ran over and took a look, only to find that the two shots hit the joints of Cannon Egg's front feet. As soon as the joints were broken, he knelt down naturally. He didn't use any strength, only a pair of back feet.
The legs are still good, but the cannon eggs can only spin in circles like grinding on the snow."
Having said this, Zhao Tuanqing paused for a moment: "Breaking joints should be a good idea. Although there are calluses on the armor, the meat head is not thick after all, and with the power of semi-automatic, it is enough! I don't have that ability myself, but
Let me tell you, you can weigh it yourself."
Lu Lu was speechless for a moment.
What Zhao Tuanqing said is very simple, but the matter is not simple.
In that case, hitting the joint of a running cannon egg, and on the snow... such a shooting technique is simply amazing.
What's even more incredible is that kind of mentality. How do you keep your mind as calm as water in the face of such a ferocious behemoth?
What confidence that is!
Can't imagine!
But I heard Zhao Tuanqing continue to say: "After asking later, I found out that he had fought in a small life, and he also found an underground fortress built by a small life, and practiced for a long time with the bullets in it. You may not have thought that in the end, he
He still died, died under the mouth of a cannon egg weighing more than 200 kilograms. He was old after all! A veteran can’t beat a pig!
Lu Lu's expression suddenly became sad. He did not expect that such a good player would end up like this.
"You can't just learn. Find a method that suits you. The one that suits you is the best. Hunter, saving your life is the most important thing!" Zhao Tuanqing emphasized.
