Dashan Makes a Living 1984 Chapter 163

  Chapter 163 160: Killing the wild boar

  Wild boars generally gather in groups.

  So hunters who want to hunt wild boars often just look for these places.

  They will call the process of finding wild boars ringing or nesting.

  Wang Tianxiao's trip was completely in accordance with the routine steps of hunting pigs, so their first step was to make circles.

  First find the gathering places of wild boars, and then select the best ones.

   Along the way, the three talked and laughed.

  The atmosphere is very good.

  After walking for more than an hour, the three of them had arrived at the highest point of Yangziling, standing on the ridge, with the east peak of Yangziling behind and the west peak of Yangziling in front.

  The east peak behind is as bare as a spot bald, while the west peak in front is lush and lush, as if they are two different worlds.

  All kinds of animals that do not hibernate in winter are hidden in the bushes of Xifeng.

"Tianxin, when you enter Xifeng, be honest with me. This is not a joke. There may be danger here at any time. So, you have to follow me and Uncle Liu closely, and don't run around. You can't be personal."

  Wang Tianxiao told his excited younger brother.

  Wang Tianxin laughed and said: "I know, I promise not to hold back."

  He carried Wang Tianxiao's old-fashioned spear today, and kept the same equipment as Liu Yuan, while Wang Tianxiao was the absolute main force.

  Why wild animals seem to be singled out is not something humans can compete with, but humans can still gain the upper hand in hunting, not only because humans have guns, but because of the relationship between initiative and passivity.

  Hunting is a premeditated killing, so humans will prepare in advance, and wild animals are often killed before they react.

   But if it is a chance encounter, humans will be quite dangerous.

   "That's good, if you are disobedient, I won't bring you out next time."

  Wang Tianxiao saw his younger brother answering so freely, but he didn't feel at ease in the slightest. He knew this guy's character, he likes to show off, and it's easy to lose control of himself.

   "Uncle Liu, wait and watch this kid."

   I had no choice but to explain to Liu Yuanye.

  Liu Yuan chuckled, "Don't worry, if he gives me a moth, see if I don't whip him with the sole of my shoe."

   "Old man, you are here again, why do you beat me, you are not my father?"

   "Meaning, I can't control you anymore?" Liu Yuan smiled meaningfully, "I don't know yet, your wings have long grown hard, and you can already fly by yourself?"

   "Hey, no, I still have a lot to learn from you. You, an old man, are always struggling with me, a child. It's unnecessary and not worth it."

  Liu Yuan smiled, looked at the green mountains in the distance, and said to Wang Tianxiao: "The weather today is not bad, the sun is very good, the wind is not too harsh, it is a good day for hunting pigs."

  Wang Tianxiao nodded, "Yes, that's right. Let's try to kill a few more sows or young yellow-haired pigs today. If we can kill boars, we don't want boars."

   "Why don't you want boars? Don't boars have a lot of meat?" Wang Tianxin was puzzled.

   "Okay, I'll get you some boar pork when the time comes and you'll understand."

  Wang Tianxin still didn't understand, seeing that neither of them said anything, he became even more anxious.

   "The taste of boars is too bad, it's hard to eat, so it's not a last resort, we try not to mess with them, understand?" Seeing that he was in a hurry, Liu Yuan explained with a smile.

   "So that's what it is, what is there to cover up, it's not straightforward."

  Wang Tianxiao smiled, bent down, picked up a handful of fine soil from the ground, and slowly sprinkled it in the air. The fine soil turned into a thread and slipped out from between his hands, and drifted eastward.

   "Today is the west wind, and the north wind is very weak. After we see the wild boar nest, try not to go from the west. The wild boars are smart now. As long as they smell our breath, they will definitely run away."

   "Well, that's the reason."

   "Then let's go, into the mountains."

   "Okay."

  Liu Yuan just nodded, but Wang Tianxin rushed down the mountain ridge and trot forward in excitement.

  Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to stop him again and remind him to be more honest.

  Hunting is to move forward quietly, so high-profile along the way, no matter whether the prey hears the sound or smells the breath, it will run without a trace, and there will be a wool.

  Wang Tianxin calmed down.

  The three of them slowly groped forward along the bushes, and Wang Tianxiao would use the ink pen in his pocket to mark the key trees along the way.

  The woods here are lush and lush. If you go too deep, you will easily lose your way.

  Although there are other ways to find the way forward, it is too much trouble after all. If you can directly look at the way you came, and follow the road signs when the time comes, you will save a lot of things.

  This is the experience of living in the mountains for a long time.

   Along the way, the three of them found many small animals, and even saw a few roe deer, musk deer, and muntjac. These guys belong to the same kind of deer, but they have their own appearance.

  Wang Tianxiao didn't think about hunting roe deer today, so he temporarily kept them alive.

   Roe deer meat tastes as good as pork if it is prepared properly, but roe deer is not suitable for current products.

  People still prefer pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese during Chinese New Year, and roe deer meat always feels less interesting.

  As for things like musk deer, it's even less interesting.

   If there is no special need, he will try not to hunt these things. The number is not much, so let's live if you can.

   Gradually, the three of them walked into the depths of the forest.

   Passing through a lush cypress forest, an empty hill appeared in front of him. Wang Tianxin wanted to move on, but was pulled back by Wang Tianxiao.

   "What are you doing, bro?"

   "Hush!"

  Wang Tianxiao signaled him to keep quiet and look ahead.

  Wang Tianxin raised his eyes to look carefully, his face was suddenly full of surprise, and just about to speak, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

  Wang Tianxiao signaled the three of them to slowly climb to the ground with hand gestures. Just in front of them was a small mountain depression, which could be hidden in it. The weeds on the edge of the mountain depression blocked the figures of the three of them, but did not block their sight.

On the opposite hillside more than 100 meters away, there are more than a dozen wild boars scattered in the ground digging for food. There must be ethnic groups.

   Opposite is an apricot mountain, and there are countless almond trees on the mountain.

  In winter, all the apricots will naturally fall to the ground.

  Mountain apricots and ordinary apricots have different seasons.

  Ordinary apricots will bloom in March in Yangchun, bear fruit slowly, grow and mature, and gradually mature in June and July, and will be finished after August 15th at the latest.

  But the growth cycle of mountain apricot will be later.

  They generally bloom in summer and mature quite late, often the leaves on the tree have fallen, and the fruit of the apricot is not yet fully ripe, which is a bit like a persimmon.

  Just like the opposite hillside, there are still many red apricots hanging on the trees. The wild boars gather under the apricot trees and live on the apricot fruits.

  They will hit the apricot tree with their strong and thick-skinned bodies, wait for the apricots on the tree to fall and eat them.

   When you are full, lie down on the hillside and bask in the sun.

   Several smaller wild boars even chased and played with each other, having a great time.

  Wang Tianxiao didn't let Wang Tianxin speak out because the wild boar's hearing is also very good, several times that of humans.

   Don't think they just smell amazing.

  If it is heard and the nest is scattered, then there will not be much gain.

   "What's going on?" Liu Yuan looked at the wild boars and closed his eyes. The waves had already started to surge in his seemingly calm body, as if the energy buried in his heart had not been awakened again.

  Wang Tianxiao didn't speak immediately.

He first looked around the terrain, then lightly tested the wind direction again, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then whispered: "There are more than a dozen small yellow-haired on the opposite mountain, our goal is to hunt three small yellow-haired, if there are not enough yellow-haired , use sows to deal with them. After the first shot is fired, they will scatter and the three of us can't stop them, so we only need to intercept two directions."

   "Aren't there three of us, brother?"

Wang Tianxiao shook his head, "The wild boar flees very fast and has a very strong impact. It is not something ordinary people can stop. You and Uncle Liu block one direction, and I will block one alone. Remember, wait for the wild boar to run fast when it reaches forty or fifty meters." Be alert, don't let them get too close or too far away..."

  Liu Yuan didn't speak, but he understood.

  Wang Tianxin looked puzzled, not knowing why this was so, so Wang Tianxiao patiently explained to him.

  Intercepting wild boars is a dynamic process.

   Don't be rigid and dogmatic.

  Wild boars are often divided into several waves when fleeing. When they rush in a certain direction, if they want to intercept them, they must keep a good distance.

  If it is too close, the wild boar will continue to rush towards the intercepted person because it cannot stop the car, and the person with only an old-fashioned gun will inevitably be hit by the impact.

  But if you shoot and intercept if you are too far away, the wild boar will run to another direction in advance. This is not interception, but driving.

  True interception means to control wild boars in a small circle that can be hit by guns in a short period of time, prevent wild boars from spreading out, and then hunt to the required number.

  If Wang Tianxin is an experienced hunter, of course it would be better for three people to intercept three directions.

   But Wang Tianxiao couldn't believe his bluffing, and didn't dare to stop him.

   Let him and Liu Yuan have a wave.

  The three of them discussed the countermeasures and began to move forward slowly.

  Even Wang Tianxin was very careful and stopped bluffing.

   It was probably less than 50 meters away from the pig's nest. Wang Tianxiao asked Liu Yuan and Wang Tianxin to ambush. If the wild boar came from this angle later, they only needed to shoot one after another to let the wild boar run back again.

  The real killing intent still depends on Wang Tianxiao.

  On the hillside, a group of wild boars are still leisurely eating apricots or rolling on the ground while basking in the sun, unaware that the danger is approaching.

  Suddenly, an earth-shattering gunshot sounded in the mountain stream.

"boom!"

   With the gunshot, a wild boar of medium size fell to the ground.

  The hoof kicked a few times, and it didn't move anymore.

  The moment the gunshot rang out, the other pigs immediately scattered in place.

   Originally rolling on the ground, he immediately got up and switched to fleeing state instantly. The pig who had just eaten a mouthful of apricot in his mouth was not at all muddled, turned around and started fleeing quickly with the group.
