Chapter 71: Entering the deep mountains, getting wild deer
Uncle Qin and his friends were waiting for people while sitting under the shade of trees outside Caozi Village. Seeing that Dong Chenghu finally appeared, a group of people stood up and patted their butts to set off immediately. They found that Dong Chenghu's face was a little bad.
"What's wrong? I ate at Yue's house?" Uncle Qin asked inexplicably.
Qin Shan was the first to retort: "How is it possible? We have seen Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, how could that kind of temperament make Brother Cheng Hu look up?"
Dong Chenghu didn't want them to guess, so he had to tell me what happened to Mr. Gu on the road just now.
Uncle Qin cursed angrily when he heard this, "A man wants shame, a tree wants bark. This shameless old man! Your father shouldn't have saved him at the beginning. The ungrateful wolf in the family, if you weren't lucky enough to marry Shui Xiu, you wouldn't know how to kill them! Now he still has the face to ask you to find a way out for his grandson. Uncle will come to the village to find him and say, "Bully our family, no one!"
Dong Chenghu quickly grabbed Uncle Qin. He was stupid and couldn't even say anything to persuade others when he was anxious. Zuo Qingsong came forward and said to him: "Uncle, we don't have to go, there are bad people to be hurt by them. It's more important for us to go into the mountains as soon as possible. Cheng Hu didn't let him get any advantage. It's better to have less trouble than more.
Even if you don’t do anything else, you should think about your younger siblings’ parents’ families. If we really go to have a fuss, your younger siblings’ parents’ families and their families will still live in the village in the future. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?"
Qin Shan nodded violently and held Uncle Qin's hand, "Dad, it doesn't matter if you feel uncomfortable. We will settle the score later. We still have to go deep into the mountains. Don't put your strength on such people, it's not worth it."
Under the persuasion of everyone, Uncle Qin finally chose to listen to everyone's words and to go to the mountains to hunt seriously.
But he was so angry that he was not ruthless when he met his prey. His methods made everyone cheer. Uncle Qin was not old!
Before everyone could see the favorite prey, Uncle Qin had already beaten a roe deer, two pheasants, and a fat hare.
Everyone else was looking at the big guy, but no one was hunting anything else.
The sky is getting darker, and the deeper the mountain, the darker the light goes.
Although it is almost late autumn, Qingping Mountain has a special geographical location. There are many big trees here that are green and green. Naturally, the leaves on some trees have all turned yellow and fallen. Everyone stepped on the thick fallen leaves, and they had to look up from time to time to see the situation on the trees and walk more cautiously.
Finally, when it was dark, they didn't encounter any prey they wanted. Zuo Qingsong took them to find a relatively dry cave.
Uncle Qin directly roasted the hare and a pheasant to serve with cakes for everyone, and added the wild vegetables and mushroom soup boiled in clean water on the fire.
It's a great dinner barely.
After dinner, Dong Chenghu was vigilant first, then Qinshan was the turn, then Zuo Qingsong, and finally Uncle Qin. Everyone planned to continue setting off when the sun was out.
The reason why I didn’t set out early is that the light in the deep mountains was not bright enough, and the danger of going out was still relatively high.
When everyone woke up, Uncle Qin had already prepared breakfast, but he still ate the same thing as last night, but there were more wild fruits. These wild fruits were common wild fruits in the mountains. It is autumn now, and the fruits are ripe and sweet. It is very delicious. With these fruits, fewer people drink soup.
After a good night's sleep and eating, the group continued to set off with a refreshed look.
I don’t know how long they had walked, but they finally found a group of wild deer drinking water by a stream and river. There were many roe deer mixed with the wild deer.
Dong Chenghu was overjoyed and discussed a plan with Uncle Qin and others. Everyone scattered. Qin Chuan followed Uncle Qin to help because he was not experienced.
Everyone headed in four directions, staring at all the prey.
Just waiting for Uncle Qin to give his order, he exerted force in all directions to at least aim at four preys.
Sure enough, when everyone took action, all the animals around the stream were frightened and fled in panic. Dong Chenghu and the others were aiming at big wild deer. All the little guys were let go, and the remaining ones that were not as good as hunting also slipped away. In the end, there were eight wild deer and two roe deer hunted by them.
Dong Chenghu and Zuo Qingsong shot two heads, Qin Shan shot one head, helping Qin Chuan shoot one head, and Uncle Qin shot two heads. Two roe deer were shot by Uncle Qin, and the other was obtained by Qin Chuan.
According to the hunting rules, whoever shoots will be his own, so everyone only takes their own prey. However, as this deer is so big, each person has to take at least two of them away. It is really embarrassing to see it.
In the end, I could only do simple raft check-in on the spot.
Dong Chenghu looked up at the sky, wiped the sweat from his face and said, "It's still early now. Let's drag these things back first to get to the cave we rested yesterday. We will set off before dawn tomorrow and we will definitely leave the deep mountains before dark. Then I will go to Yue's house to lead a donkey cart. We will rush to Panlong Town before dark. My family also wants to buy a donkey, so we will buy another donkey cart. We will rush to Zhishui County overnight so that the prey will not break down."
Dong Chenghu and Zuo Qingsong were more experienced when they went to the county to work, but Uncle Qin had no objection. Everyone was in a high mood and quickly brought their prey back to the previous cave.
With these preys, everyone dared not delay. As soon as the sky darkened, the smell of blood would definitely attract beasts, and it would be troublesome.
In order to prevent wild beasts from raiding, everyone burned a large fire outside the cave, hoping to cover up the smell of blood.
As a result, a big mountain pig came when the beast did not come. It happened to be when Dong Chenghu was at night. Dong Chenghu didn't say anything, and directly used the intestines tied to the bamboo pole to pierce the boar's eyes and then pulled them out. The boar felt in pain and rushed towards Dong Chenghu wildly. Dong Chenghu didn't run away. When the boar was about to reach his body, the boar directly hit the mountain wall, roaring in pain.
Dong Chenghu quickly stabbed the boar on the boar. After several times, the boar finally died completely.
Uncle Qin and others had been awakened by the movements. When they came out, they saw that it was a pig. Dong Chenghu was at ease to deal with it, so he did not interfere. After Dong Chenghu completely brought down the pig, Uncle Qin spoke.
"What we are here now is just a mountain boar. If you delay it, the blood will become more severe. I don't know what it will attract. For safety reasons, let's go now. Bring the torch with you to scare away something."
Everyone acted as they said and even put some blood from boars in the cave. In this way, even if a beast came over, they would find the cave first and could delay them for some time.
Chapter completed!
