In the next few days, the tribesmen would fish on the river at night, and the harvest would become less and less until the river was completely frozen.
The hunting team still went out as usual, but with this batch of fish, the pressure on the tribe during the winter was relieved by most of it.
Kent even excitedly rewarded Linn with joining the hunting team on the spot!
Linn's head was dizzy! Is this a reward?
Isn’t it warm if I lie in the cave every day?
He turned around and looked at the fat little Bjorn next to him. He was so envious that he almost cried!
Well, that should be a reward!
By the way, do you have to move out of the cave to join the hunting team? The cave is so lively! The children are good-natured and obedient.
"Ahem! Uncle Kent, hunting is important now. The house can be built next spring. I will live in the cave first so that I can take care of them more conveniently."
As Lin En spoke, he looked at the children in the cave around him, his eyes full of kindness!
"If you want, you can live in the cave for now, and we'll talk about it next year."
"Thank you, Uncle Kent." Lynn was very happy to have achieved her goal.
In the evening, Kent and a few soldiers brought some fish over! As a reward, the weather was getting colder and colder. They only ate one meal a day for fear that these children would not be able to bear it. They also specifically asked Linn to supervise and not eat too fast.
After Kent and the others left, the children cheered. Everyone looked at the two baskets of fish as if they were treasures. They carefully took them out, counted them, and hung them up one by one.
Everyone is already looking forward to a well-fed and warm winter!
The next morning, Lin En arrived at the gathering place of the hunting team early. He hadn't done anything for a long time. In fact, he was still looking forward to going out hunting.
"Here you go, little Lynn"
Lynn turned around and saw that the person speaking was Barrow. A strong man in his thirties, he was the tallest in the team except for Kent. The captain of the second hunting team, Kent's eldest son Carl, was following him.
"Uncle Barrow, what equipment should I bring today?"
Barrow pointed to the weapons on a row of shelves by the wall and said, "You can pick it out yourself. You can bring whatever you want."
Linn walked over to pick out equipment for himself. After thinking about it for a while, he took three short spears, a battle axe, a war hammer, a spear, and a shield.
At this time, Cole, who had joined the hunting team for more than a month, also came over. He looked at Linn's equipment and said with a smile:
"Today is your first time hunting. I won't let you do it. The equipment you brought is too heavy. Are you sure you still have the energy to go on the journey?"
Linn thought for a while, then threw down all his weapons and only brought two shields!
Cole was stunned when he looked at him!
At this time Kent came over and said: "Stop being ridiculous and be serious!"
"Hehe, I'm kidding." Lin En smiled, threw down his shield, and picked out two short spears, a battle axe, and a war hammer.
"Without a shield?" Cole asked.
Linn shook his head, "No!"
He stuck two short spears behind his back, a battle ax on his right side, and a war hammer in his left hand.
In this way, he can throw a short spear from a long distance, a battle ax and a war hammer at close range, and he is well equipped! He is ready to start his first hunting!
I waved the tomahawk a few times casually, and I felt that my body, which had been silent for many days, was heating up slightly! I was even a little impatient!
Linn followed Kent and his group out of the tribe, walking further and further away. Gradually, he could no longer clearly see the tribe behind him.
"Before hunting, you must first understand the beast's habits. That is, its life patterns, when it appears, what it likes to eat, and under what circumstances it becomes irritable."
Kent pointed to a piece of dead grass and said to Linn:
"Look there, there are traces of hare eating on the leaves. Then we can place traps there. The animals' movement routes will generally not change."
"In winter, wild goats come out to forage during the day and return to the mountain col to take shelter from the wind at night."
Linn listened to Kent's words carefully and took them to heart. These were all based on Uncle Kent's many years of experience and understanding of the prey's habits, so that he could get twice the result with half the effort.
The hunting team split into two teams when they were at the beach. Barrow led the others across the frozen sea to hunt on several other islands.
Linn continued to search along the woods along the seaside with Uncle Kent, but no matter where he went, he had to return the same way after noon.
This is their hunting route today. The two teams will meet here when the sun sets on the top of the mountain in the afternoon.
"When looking for prey, pay attention to observation marks, eaten leaves of plants, fresh scratches on tree bark, animal droppings, clear footprints. Observe them, analyze what the prey is, its route of action, think about the hunting plan,
All these must be taken into consideration.”
Kent always kept Lynn by his side, searching for prey while imparting his experience.
"The most important thing is to know the strength of the prey, but also your own strength. When encountering large beasts, don't try to confront them unless it is absolutely necessary. Avoiding them is the more sensible choice."
"But what should you do if you encounter a situation where you can't escape?" Kent suddenly asked
"Kill it!" Linn smiled,
Kent looked at the confidence and boldness in this young man's eyes and was speechless for a moment.
"A warrior's choice?"
…
"There is a little wild boar nearby." Kent squatted and observed for a while, then stood up and said:
"You two go to the tree, and the others will follow me over there to take a look. Don't be too far away."
A group of people dispersed in twos and threes, and Kent led two people toward the distance.
Linn and Cole stood on a tree respectively, carefully paying attention to the movements around them.
After a while, the sound of a wild boar was heard in the distance, and it got closer and closer, rushing towards Lin En.
A patch of grass scattered in all directions. A huge wild boar weighing four to five hundred kilograms howled and rushed over!
"This is called a little wild boar?" Linn had a new understanding of the word 'little' in Kent's mouth.
Cole'an couldn't bear it any longer, and took action first with the short spear in his hand.
With a "swish" sound, the short spear scraped against the side of the wild boar and was nailed to the ground, almost hitting its front legs. Immediately afterwards, the second short spear had also been shot in front of the body.
Suddenly, there was a fierce pig squealing. The second short spear was inserted straight into its back. It looked like it had been hit, but it was not a vital wound.
Cole's two spears didn't have much effect, and he didn't dare to use the third spear at will.
The wild boar was injured and became even more panicked. It turned around and rushed towards Lin En's tree.
Suddenly there was a "duh" sound, and a short spear almost hit the tip of the wild boar's nose and shot into the ground. The wild boar was startled, tripped by the short spear, and was about to raise its legs to dodge, when another short spear came "plop" one after another.
Plug it into its other front foot.
Now the wild boar could no longer maintain its balance, and fell to the ground with its two front legs, sliding right under Lynn's tree.
Just as the wild boar was about to struggle to get up, Linn grasped the battle ax and jumped down from the tree. The broad and sharp ax blade slashed hard on the wild boar's neck with a sharp roar that ripped through the air.
An adult-sized pig head flew far away with a "plop" sound!
The wild boar turned over and fell to the ground. Its four lower legs were still struggling hard, but the strength was getting smaller and smaller, and they gradually became motionless.
