"Is this the sound of the roe deer barking?" Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo looked at each other in disbelief.
This was the first time they heard a roe deer barking, and they didn't expect such a noise.
"We're with you." The two of them also got up from the ground, followed Sheng Xiping quietly, and walked out.
"No, you haven't practiced night vision, so you can't see clearly even when you come out."
On the night of the fourth day of the first lunar month, there was only a thin sliver of the moon, and there was not much light outside.
"It's okay, I have a flashlight." Wang Jianshe took out the flashlight from his pocket.
He just wanted to follow and see if it was a roe deer, so as to confirm the roe deer's cry.
Sheng Xiping ignored Wang Jianshe and quietly walked outside.
Before Wang Jianshe could turn on the flashlight, suddenly there was a lot of movement in the forest.
There was a rapid rustling sound that disappeared in the distance.
"What's going on? Did you run away?" Wang Jianshe was stunned and asked softly.
"Well, you probably saw us, right? Beasts have pretty good eyesight."
Sheng Xiping was not sure, after all, it was pitch dark outside, and he could only vaguely see a shadow running into the distance.
At this moment, there was a fierce friction sound, mixed with the sound of twigs breaking.
Then, there were several heavy gasping sounds. They were not human sounds. They were obviously the roe deer's last struggle when something had bitten its throat and it was about to suffocate.
Sheng Xiping's eyes narrowed, and he rushed out with a swish, making Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo tremble in fright.
They wanted to call out to Sheng Xiping, but they did not dare to speak out, so they could only follow Sheng Xiping and come out of the shack.
It was dark outside, and Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo couldn't see anything. They were about to open their mouths to shout at Sheng Xiping, but a hand covered their mouths.
"Don't make a sound." It was Sheng Xiping's voice.
"Squat down, don't make any noise, and squat carefully." Sheng Xiping whispered to the two of them.
"You have a flashlight, right? Don't open it yet, wait a minute."
Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo nodded. Following Sheng Xiping's words, the three of them squatted neatly in a row and hid in the bushes as tall as one person.
Ahead, there was a whirring sound, a low growl coming from the throat.
Everyone has heard this sound before, the time they bombarded Shanlizi's nest.
"Is it the mountain lizard? The mountain lizard is hunting the roe deer?" Wang Jianshe's eyes widened.
Is it so exciting? It was their first time living in the mountains, and they met mountain raccoons catching roe deer at night?
"It should be, don't make any noise, wait a moment." Sheng Xiping had already heard what kind of beast was hunting the roe deer.
Another low roar came from the woods ahead, followed by gasps.
It was estimated that the roe deer was already dead, as the mountain lizard let go of its mouth and was resting.
None of the three people dared to move. Once the mountain raccoon was alerted at this time, the guy would probably pounce on them and bite them as if they were roe deer.
The key point was that it was at night, and there was a forest in front of them. They could only vaguely tell from the sound that Shanlizi was not far away, but they were not sure where exactly.
They can't see the shank, but the shank is a nocturnal animal, so they can see them.
It's night now, and it's Shanlizi's home field.
This thing is agile and agile, so they may not be opponents during the day, let alone at night?
The only thing that can be done at this moment is to wait for the opportunity, to wait for an opportunity that can hit the target with one hit.
Otherwise, they have to wait until the mountain raccoons are full and leave before they go back to the shack.
At this time, a whirring sound came over, it must be that the mountain raccoon was eating.
The mountain civet does not eat quietly, it tears and roars at the same time. This is a sign of cats protecting their food.
It is reminding other animals that it is here and should not come and disturb it.
The roaring roar of the mountain raccoon is particularly real in this silent valley.
Judging from the sound, the mountain raccoon was about fifty or sixty meters away from Sheng Xiping and the others.
"Xiping, think of a solution quickly, otherwise, the roe deer will not be eaten by the mountain raccoons?" Wang Jianshe approached Sheng Xiping's ear and whispered.
Sheng Xiping was just about to speak when he suddenly heard a sound piercing the air above his head. The sound was violent and sharp. "Shua——"
Sheng Xiping hurriedly looked up at the sky and saw a black shadow flying quickly over his head.
With the sound of branches rubbing against each other, it should have landed in the woods ahead.
Judging from the flying posture just now, it should be some kind of big bird, probably trying to get a piece of the pie.
The roar of the mountain raccoon became louder. It was a demonstration to the big bird on the branch.
"Here comes another one looking for a bargain." Chen Weiguo muttered over there.
"No one can snatch what belongs to his grandma, it should all belong to me." Sheng Xiping snorted.
"The three of us stood up slowly together. Jianzhuang, you turn on the flashlight, and I will shoot. Weiguo will protect me."
Sheng Xiping could roughly determine the location of Shanlizi, but he was not sure of the specific situation.
Ask Wang Jianshe to turn on the flashlight and illuminate it for him so that he can accurately shoot at Shanlizi's position and try to hit it with one hit.
If the shot misses and the lynx rises up to injure someone, Chen Weiguo can shoot again.
Of course, it is more likely that the mountain roe deer was shot by him and scared away. That is not bad, they can pick up a roe deer for free.
After getting along for so many years, there was still a tacit understanding, so the three of them slowly stood up from the bushes.
Wang Jianshe pushed the flashlight switch, and a yellow beam of light suddenly shot forward.
It must have been dark for too long, and I felt that the light of this flashlight was so dazzling.
But in fact, this light has almost insignificant effect on the dark woods in the distance.
With this faint light, Sheng Xiping discovered that there were two dazzling reflective spots about fifty meters away from the three of them.
Those are the eyes of the mountain raccoon, the light reflected in the night.
A gray-black head emerged from behind the roe deer's body.
It squatted behind the roe deer and looked this way from a distance, the mane under its chin fluttering in the wind.
In front of Shanlizi is a very large roe deer. The white hair on the roe deer's belly looks particularly white under the light of the flashlight.
Obviously, the mountain raccoon was extremely angry when it was interrupted from eating. It kept roaring with a terrifying deterrent effect.
It seemed that the next second, it would jump over and bite the three people opposite.
Shanlizi didn't run away, just like Sheng Xiping and the three of them didn't retreat just now. No one was willing to give up the meat in their mouths.
Of course, it could also be that the flashlight was pointed at the mountain raccoon's eyes, making it unable to adapt for a while.
Shanlizi roared to express its determination to defend the fruits of victory and demonstrated to Sheng Xiping and others.
However, this little bit of prestige could not scare Sheng Xiping at all. Sheng Xiping calmly aimed at the exposed half of Shan Lizi's head and directly pulled the trigger.
The night was pitch black, and the barrel of the gun was also black. The mountain raccoon hid behind the roe deer, with only half of its head exposed.
To be honest, this is a great test for the hunter's marksmanship.
