Erlang Shen's screams continued, and General Hei also kept shouting, just inside the second-cropped forest.
It doesn't matter if the dog keeps barking, as long as it doesn't bark.
Once the dog stops barking, or the prey has run away, or it encounters a big one, it will be killed in one move.
Hearing the dog barking all the time, Sheng Xiping felt confident, so he led his two brothers and ran all the way to the second crop of woods.
Those with two legs can't outrun those with four legs. Dogs can jump over without much effort, but people can run over with much effort.
When the three brothers Sheng Xiping came to this second-growth forest and saw what they saw in front of them, they were all overjoyed.
"Brother, look, roe deer."
Under a tree that was only six or seven centimeters in diameter and more than one foot high, hanging was an animal with grass-yellow fur, a short tail, and white hair at the base of the tail. It looked a bit like a deer, but was much smaller than a deer.
The hanging leg trap is made of the elasticity of the tree itself. Once the animal touches the mechanism on the ground, the tree immediately rebounds and picks up the rope trap buried in the ground.
Normally, the rope noose is covered with soil and weeds. Yesterday, Sheng Xiping specially put holly, which roe deer love to eat, on the rope noose.
When the roe deer lowered its head to eat holly, it touched a mechanism on the ground, and the noose happened to catch the roe deer's head and one front leg.
At this moment, the roe deer was hanging in the air, with its hind legs more than one meter above the ground.
The roe deer struggled violently, causing the tree to sway continuously and the rope to tighten.
If Sheng Xiping and the others had arrived a half day later, the roe deer would have hanged himself, but he was still alive at the moment.
Erlang Shen and Black General were barking under the roe deer.
The more they screamed, the more the roe deer struggled out of fear, and with this struggle, the tree shook even more.
So it’s not that Erlang Shen didn’t want to jump up and take a bite, it was just that he had nowhere to put his efforts and couldn’t bite.
But it was so anxious that it screamed anxiously from below.
When Sheng Xiping saw this, he whistled, called the dog aside, and then shot the roe deer directly in the head.
This shot hit the head directly, and the roe deer kicked a few times and stopped moving.
Sheng Xiping then put the gun aside, stepped forward to untie the noose, put down the roe deer body, took out the knife tied to his leg, and opened the body.
"Brother, why did you have to fire a shot just now? Couldn't you just use a knife?
Or just untie the other end of the rope and we can take him back alive."
Sheng Xian came over to help and asked in confusion.
"Do you know how painful it is for such a big roe deer to kick you? It could break your intestines if you don't get it right."
Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this.
"The first day I followed Master into the mountains, Master told me that since I want to be a hunter, I must not be merciful.
In everything, put your own safety first and don’t take risks easily.”
"If I had just stepped forward and stabbed the roe deer with a knife like you said, and the roe deer was hanging in the air, would I have to hold it down before I could stab it?
What if it struggles desperately and kicks me? What if I untie the rope at the other end and let it run away accidentally?"
Although it costs a bullet to shoot, it is safe. No one is in danger, and the roe deer cannot escape.
He went into the mountains to hunt just to entertain guests tomorrow, and not to catch live animals to breed. Wouldn't it be easiest to just kill them?
The two brothers Sheng Xi'an seemed to understand, but they nodded repeatedly. "Oh, I understand."
Sheng Xiping shook his head and without further explanation, he disemboweled the body very quickly.
The roe deer had expired and was lying on its side on the ground.
Sheng Xiping was half-kneeling, pressing the two lower legs of the roe deer with his legs, and lifting the upper front legs with his left hand.
Then he held the knife in his right hand and stabbed it down the roe deer's throat, cutting through the skin and flesh.
The knife was extremely sharp, and Sheng Xiping's hands were extremely strong, so he could disembowel him with ease.
Sheng Xiping reached out and took out the internal organs of the roe deer.
The heart was split in two and eaten by Erlang Shen and Black General.
Roe deer liver, but he handed it to his two younger brothers. "You two eat this."
Sheng Xian, Sheng Xikang's expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at the bloody roe deer liver in the eldest brother's hand with horror on their faces.
"Brother, are you kidding me? This thing is full of blood and screams fishy. You want us to eat it alive?"
“Roe deer liver can purify the heart and improve eyesight, it is best for the eyes.
When people of the Oroqen tribe kill roe deer, they eat the liver directly.
You two waste your eyes by studying, but eating is good for your eyes. Don't bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart."
Sheng Xiping held the roe deer liver in his hand and brought it to his two younger brothers, but the expression on his face seemed a bit threatening.
Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and took the roe deer liver.
The two of them put the roe deer liver in their hands, looked at it for a few minutes, swallowed hard, closed their eyes, and stuffed the bloody roe deer liver into their mouths.
Roe deer liver is very tender and has no other strange smell other than the smell of blood.
The brothers didn't dare to taste it carefully, so they chewed it and swallowed it quickly.
Sheng Xiping laughed when he saw his two younger brothers eating roe deer liver.
"This is really for your own good, not harm to you.
The roe deer liver can be eaten raw, but the roe deer meat cannot be eaten because there are parasites on the meat.
You will see it when you go back to skin it."
As Sheng Xiping spoke, he gave the rest of the other goods to the two dogs.
The two dogs came out this morning without eating. They had run so far just now and were both hungry.
The roe deer mentality I had just now didn't matter at all, so I didn't care about that at the moment and took the offal to the side to eat.
Sheng Xiping was very satisfied with this trip and gained a lot.
After the two dogs had eaten all their internal organs, Sheng Xiping carried the roe deer, which had nearly forty kilograms left, and asked the second one to carry the gun. The three brothers led the dogs back.
There were no further complications on the way back, and the three brothers returned to the forest farm smoothly.
"Dad, Mom, we're back. Come and see what we got?"
As soon as he entered the gate, Sheng Xikang called out.
Sheng Xitai, who didn't like to get up during the holidays and slept in at home, ran out wearing small pants as soon as he heard the movement of his third brother outside.
"What, what's there?"
Sheng Xiping just put the roe deer on the ground. When he saw the appearance of the sixth brother, he stepped forward and slapped his younger brother on the buttocks.
"You're nine years old, you're not young, so you still don't understand anything?
Hurry back home and get dressed, it’s quite cold in the morning, so you’re not afraid of catching a cold anymore.”
There was not much fabric in these days, and there were not many clothes to wear. Shirts and underpants were rare, let alone pajamas. I had never heard of them.
When going to bed at night, most people take off their pants and vests, and men just wear underpants.
Some people don't even wear underpants and just sleep naked.
When I get up in the morning, I just put on my coat and pants and that's it.
Even in winter, many people wear cotton pants with bare legs.
Those who can wear underpants under cotton trousers must be rich and very particular.
