There was a light snowfall in the middle of the night last night, and the ground was covered with a thin layer.
It is best to hunt in the mountains at this time. The traces of the prey are all on the snow and cannot be hidden at all.
There was no need to enter the mountain too early to kill Heixiazicang, so the five brothers were not in a hurry. They led the dog out of the village after eight o'clock and walked west into the forest.
After walking for a while into the forest, the big yellow dog started sniffing on the ground.
Going further, I found many wild boar footprints on the snow, covering the entire hillside.
Looking at the situation on the ground, there were probably hundreds of wild boars of all sizes heading southwest.
"If we had a three- or five-shot semi-automatic and a dozen or so dogs, we would be able to kill all the wild boars, at least half of them."
After Xu Shiyan saw those footprints, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Then tell Uncle Zhao and let him report it to his superiors. This wild boar has been very rampant recently and has caused harm to many things."
Xu Shixiang looked at the wild boar footprints with enthusiasm. If he could hunt down a group of wild boars, they would be able to eat meat during the Chinese New Year.
"That's easy to say. By the time the superiors approve it, the wild boar herd will have dispersed long ago."
Wild boars will temporarily gather together to form a herd when they are penned in winter. When spring comes, the wild boar herds will disperse.
"Let's go, we're not going into the mountains today for the wild boars, so don't worry about it for now. Let's wait and see how the team reacts."
Xu Shiyan didn't hesitate too much. He could only eat the wild boar after he killed it.
His family is not short of meat now, so he is not very interested in wild boars. The most important thing at the moment is the Heixiazi Barn.
Everyone thought it was right, so they continued to move forward for a while.
Just after crossing the Xiaoganba River, I spotted a pair of langpaizi ahead.
A wolf's claws are similar to those of a dog, larger than a dog's, and the two middle toes are longer, making it easy to spot on the snow.
"The four wolves are all mature wolves. Less than an hour has passed this morning. They must have been out looking for food. They are all hungry."
Xu Shiyan lowered his head and took a closer look near Lang Zengzi, confirming the number of wolves.
Raw wolves and mature wolves are a distinction made by hunters based on the wolf's habits.
Shenglang has never fought against a hunter and has never seen the world, so he can catch most people by setting traps and easily fall into the trap of the hunter, so he is called Shenglang.
Mature wolves are different. They all escape from hunters' guns and traps.
This kind of wolf is suspicious by nature. It will look around suspiciously when walking on the road. If there is the slightest sign of trouble, it will immediately tiptoe back the way it came.
Even if you find a branch lying across the road, you will suspect that it is a trap set by a hunter and try to avoid it.
This is what the old hunter said, "A familiar wolf can't do anything but a grass."
The wolf in front of me was walking around, moving left and right. It looked like there was only a series of footprints, but in fact, the wolf behind was walking completely on the footprints of the first wolf.
It only splits into several strands at the sharp bend, and then returns to one strand at the front.
These are obviously the traces left by a mature wolf. This kind of wolf is difficult to fight.
"Let's go around and don't destroy Lang Lengzi.
Let’s go kill Heixiaizicang later, and if everything goes well, it won’t be too late to come back and fight again.”
Wolves are extremely suspicious. If the wolf slugs are destroyed, they will move elsewhere and become more difficult to find in the future.
So, the five brothers took the dog around for most of the circle, avoiding the wolf's claws without damaging it, and then continued walking towards the destination.
Passing by a logging area, we walked southwest, climbed over a ridge, and found a big poplar tree halfway up the hillside.
It is quite thick and requires two people to surround it. There is a tree hole at a height of one person above the ground.
Looking at the hoarfrost hanging around the tree hole, we knew that there must be living things living here, most likely the Black Blind Man.
When the water vapor breathed out by animals encounters extremely low temperatures, it will be covered with hoarfrost.
"Brother, Fourth Brother, you two are holding the dogs aside for now. We won't need them for the time being."
Normally, you don't need a dog to kill Heixiazicang. You bring a dog just in case.
There are many dangers in the mountains. If you encounter any wild beasts with your dog, you will need multiple helpers.
Xu Shixian and Xu Shide followed Xu Shiyan's instructions and took their dogs aside to wait.
These dogs had been tamed by Xu Shiyan a long time ago. He personally handed the rope to the two of them. The dogs were very honest and did not struggle at all.
Here, Xu Shiyan led Xu Shian and Xu Shixiang to clean up the shrubs and dead branches around the big poplar tree.
I found another big tree opposite the poplar tree, cleaned up the surrounding area, and lit another fire.
It stands to reason that if so many people come to kill Cangzi, and they bring guns and dogs, it would be okay if they don't make these preparations.
But Xu Shiyan has always been cautious and prudent, never willing to take risks, and never fails to do whatever he is supposed to do.
After the preparations were completed, Xu Shiyan held a gun in his hand and fired two shots at the entrance of the tree hole in the big poplar tree, which was called Cangzi.
Just to wake up the black blind man in the tree hole, so that he can crawl out before he can kill him.
People without guns are called Cangzi, and most of them hit tree trunks with sticks.
The black blind man sleeps very deeply during hibernation, and it takes a long time to wake him up. The sound of the gun is loud, and it is easy to wake up the black blind man.
There is also a skill in shooting to call the barn, and you cannot shoot under the tree hole.
What if by chance, we really hit the blind man and beat him to death in a tree hole?
For such a big tree, once they saw it down, the black blind man's bile would probably be absorbed, so how much would it cost to sell it?
He fired a gun near the entrance of the cave. The sound was loud and woke up the black blind man.
Wait until it climbs out before shooting, and kill it and disembowel it on the spot to ensure that the black blind man's guts are intact.
After the two shots were fired, Xu Shiyan took two steps back and waited quietly. After a while and no movement was heard, he fired two more shots.
After these two shots are fired, simply withdraw the remaining bullets and reload a round of bullets.
After changing the bullets, I fired two more shots, and then I heard movement in the tree hole.
The black blind man who was awakened made a sound of "hoo, hoo" and slowly crawled out of the tree hole.
"Brother, fourth brother, hold the dogs down and don't let them bark."
At this time, you can't let the dog bark first, you have to wait until the black blind man crawls out completely.
Although the black blind man was bulky, his movements were not slow and he quickly poked his head out of the tree hole.
"Second brother, wait until it crawls down and hit it again. Be careful to hit it on the head."
Generally speaking, when a black blind man climbs a tree, he puts his head up, and when descending from a tree, he has to turn his head around and land on his butt first.
I don’t know what’s going on with this black blind man? He was woken up from a deep sleep and is still a little dizzy?
He didn't even turn around, he just climbed down headfirst, and ended up falling down.
Xu Shian originally took aim with his gun and planned to shoot the black blind man while he was climbing down.
As a result, the gun fired, but missed and did not hit at all.
This angered the blind man, who rushed towards Xu Shi'an.
Xu Shian was holding a stick in his hand and could not fire continuously, so he turned around and ran away.
At this time, the gun in Xu Shiyan's hand also fired. The first shot hit Heixiazi's shoulder, and then another shot passed through the abdomen diagonally.
The blind man was shot twice and screamed in pain. He simply gave up on Xu Shi'an and turned towards Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan stood there steadily, without taking a step back, and shot the blind man directly in the head.
The small eye went in and the big eye came out, and blood splashed out all at once. The black blind man paused and fell directly to the ground.
