Dashan Makes a Living 1984 Chapter 90

   Chapter 90 090: Slingshot

  The first time Wang Tianxiao went to the city, he had a general understanding of the prices of these wild animals.

No one eats the stone marten, it's all for its skin. If it is well handled, a skin can be sold for more than ten yuan. Whether it is ten yuan or twenty yuan depends entirely on the size and integrity of the stone marten. degree.

  Although Wang Tianxiao has the money from selling deer blood for monthly support, he is more optimistic about the cultivation of medicines, which is the means to truly grow and grow rich in a sustainable way.

  The country will soon impose many restrictions on hunting, and guns will be taken away later, so hunting is just a way to join in the fun in the past few years. If you don't starve to death, you can't make a fortune.

   Only use it to overdo it.

  When the industrial chain he planted is officially in operation, hunting will only become a real pastime and enjoyment.

   "You can still stop the stone sable," Wu Wenhua exclaimed excitedly, "The stone sable is extremely slippery. I heard people say that the stone sable cannot be shot with a gun, but can only be shot at Tianling Gai with a slingshot, isn't it?"

   "That's right, the small things are only the size of a cat, and the most valuable thing is the fur. If you shoot it with a gun, the mink fur will be smashed into pieces, and it will be worthless."

   "The slingshot can be used to shoot ferrets, isn't it quite big, it can't be done without practice."

   "That's right, it requires strong skills, and it's almost a hundred shots. If you miss it the first time, they will run away quickly, and there will be no second chance to hit them."

   "Then...are you okay?"

  At this time, Wang Tianxiao had already twisted out a strong slingshot frame under his hand, but it was slightly larger than ordinary slingshot frames.

  He took a belt from Wang Tianxin and gestured to the slingshot stand while saying, "Fortunately, I have liked playing with slingshots since I was a child, and even if I can't hit every shot with a hundred shots, at least it is close to ten."

  Actually, Wang Tianxiao was good at slingshot in his previous life. That's because he has been working and living in the mountains. Sometimes in order to protect a rare animal or bird, it is necessary to warn and persuade the culprit who hurt them to leave.

  But in nature, everyone has different positions.

  Preventing others from killing vulnerable animals is artificially destroying the balance of nature. In the animal world, everyone simply wants to reproduce and live.

  Don't let the weak be eaten, and the strong can only starve. Everyone is for life, there is no absolute right or wrong.

"If you say that, I'll be excited." Wang Tianxin squatted down next to his brother, and said enthusiastically, "If nothing else, let's just talk about playing the slingshot. Looking at the whole Wangjia Village, if I say that I am the second, who will be the second?" Dare to say that you are the first?"

   "See if you can do it." Wang Tianxiao tapped his younger brother's head lightly with a wire, but what Wang Tianxin said was right, this kid just can't learn, and if you want to talk about playing things, he is really good at it, and he didn't fail in any of them.

"Second brother, others don't know my skills, you don't know. Fifth brother, tell me, am I the slingshot king in our village? I can shoot every shot. As long as I am in the village, no bird dares to squeak around our house." Voice."

  Wang Tianxin smiled, "Well, you are amazing."

   "Look, fifth brother can't lie, second brother you still don't admit it."

  The three brothers came and went, chatting wildly, while Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai squatted next to each other and couldn't get on with each other. They finally found a break before interjecting: "The brotherhood of the little bosses is really good."

  The speaker was unintentional, but the three brothers Wang Tianxiao were slightly embarrassed for a moment.

  Wang Tianxin was still clever, and changed the topic and said, "Second brother, I think your slingshot is bigger than the one we used to play with when we were young, right?"

   "Well, it should be bigger," Wang Tianxiao has already tied the belt of the first slingshot, both sides are also tied tightly with thin wire, and the handshake of the slingshot is tightly wrapped with a wide belt.

   Basically a slingshot is completed.

"Because we are fighting stone martens this time, and maybe some other small things, these things are very alert, and they will often run away early or get into the bunker when they hear the sound of breaking through the air. Therefore, we must let the The steel **** are so fast that they have no chance to react."

"I see."

"In addition, the stone marten's sense of smell is also very sensitive. Even if we stand against the wind, we can't get too close. Based on my previous experience, we can only get close to them for about 30 meters at most, and they can smell them any closer. Until we exist, it will be impossible to catch."

   "So strong, are they dog ​​noses?"

"You are still talking about a dog's nose," Wang Tianxiao handed him the finished slingshot, "I'll give you this one, let's see how many you can catch later. I must tell you, there is more than one shot in this mountain." Dog-nosed things are everywhere, you can say wild boars, don't look at them as stupid, but when it comes to smell, they also crush dogs.”

   "It's so strong, and it's so scary." Wang Tianxin smiled, thinking that his brother's words were a bit exaggerated. Everyone said that the nose was as sharp as a dog's nose, but they didn't say that it was the same as a pig's nose.

"Believe it if you don't believe it." Wang Tianxiao put his smile away and said seriously, "Respect and alertness to every animal in the mountains is an essential psychological element for a good hunter. If you look down on them, then wait for you." The only thing you can do is to return home without a feather, or even casualties. Do you remember?"

  Wang Tianxin saw that his brother was getting serious, he didn't continue joking, but nodded solemnly.

   "Don't worry, second brother, I'm just telling you, I know it well."

   "That's good." Wang Tianxiao nodded.

   After about 20 minutes, Wang Tianxiao has already made the second slingshot. At present, he and Wang Tianxin are the only ones who can shoot well with slingshots. It is meaningless to do more.

   It's time to go.

   After several people discussed, Wang Tianxin and Wu Qiancai stayed at the station, chopped some wood, and when they came back from hunting, it could just be used to cook meat.

  In addition, the station had to keep people in. The wife and two children were left at home, even during the day, it was not safe.

  Wang Tianxiao thought for a while, and left Ah Ying, and by the way, also put the original old-fashioned gun on the windowsill. In case something happened, his wife would use a gun anyway, so he could use it to fight back.

   This should be fine.

  Aying has a very good temper. She was ready to go out for a run in the mountains, but she was temporarily left to watch the house, but she didn't have any objections. She squatted at the door and watched the three people and two dogs walk down the mountain ridge.

   Aqiang and Azhen, two leopard cats, were a little shy of strangers. They hid in the corner and could not come out when there were many people. At this time, they slowly slipped out and ran to Aying, playing with his white tail gently.

  Aying turned her head and looked at it, but she was not annoyed, and slowly lay down on her stomach.

  On the kang, Wang Fang was taking a nap. She didn't know what she dreamed of, and she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

  Li Yali gently covered her daughter with the quilt, patted her son's quilt, and looked at the distant mountains through the window, as if her eyes could follow her husband into the mountains.

   Slingshots are always used to shoot minks and squirrels. Arrows can also be used, but the arrows are too affected by the wind.
