Section 8 Deer Hunting

()

The wind and snow outside are getting stronger and stronger. According to Alos, there has never been such a heavy snowfall at the beginning of winter in the past few years. The howling sound of the north wind is simply worse than the sound of a cannon being ejected from the chamber and piercing the sky. Even more pointedly, I wonder if Sailu’s convoy has reached Miraba City.

Chen Jinyang was sitting by the fireplace in the cellar, cutting a sleeping bag with a dagger, preparing to make a pair of boots for each of the three people. Two of the three brothers wore straw sandals that they had knitted themselves, wrapped in torn linen pieces, which were warm. Fortunately, when it gets cold, the cold wind penetrates directly into the skin, and the linen pieces are soaked directly when stepping into the snow. Xiao Misha'er is bedridden all year round and doesn't even have shoes. It's almost impossible to move around in such weather. It's terrible; Chen Jinyang didn't expect the winter here to be so cold, even the winter in Siberia in his previous life was nothing like this.

The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly. The foot-long pitch pine wood burned quietly and for a long time. The incandescent flame with light blue licked the dark iron pot and made a gurgling sound. The originally cold cellar became A warm and fragrant paradise. The cellar roof is several feet deep from the ground. It consists of several small storage rooms and a large basement with a length of 15 feet and a width of 15 feet. The cellar has three exits, one of which is in the kitchen of the tavern. One exit is near the stables, and another leads directly to the outside of the village. However, the exits outside the village are usually not used. They are usually sealed. The location of the exit is also very hidden, making it difficult for people who don't know the situation to find it. It can be used now. The only exit next to the stables is the only one that needs protection.

The two little guys got into sleeping bags, covered with animal skins and blankets, and were sleeping soundly. The bodies of the two children were too thin, especially little Mishal. Almost everyone thought that she would not be able to survive the cold and long winter this year. , Chen Jinyang also believes that if he doesn't find a way, it will be difficult for Xiao Misha'er to survive this winter. Without the protection of the animal skins he brought back, the little girl may not even be able to survive the first snow; after returning from the picnic three days ago, the two of them There were varying degrees of frostbite all over the body, especially on the feet. If he wanted to survive the winter successfully, he needed to make a lot of preparations. The first step was to take good care of his body. Chen Jinyang planned to wait until tomorrow to make boots before going deer hunting in the forest.

In the final analysis, the two children's frailty is caused by malnutrition. Xiao Misa's vitality was damaged by the cold last winter. When it comes to nourishing vitality, ginseng, bird's nest, and deer antler are the most important; ginseng The tonic is too strong, and the bird's nest is mild, so it is difficult to find both under current conditions; only velvet antler is easy to obtain, and velvet antler is a precious Chinese medicinal material that has the effects of producing sperm and replenishing marrow, nourishing blood and yang, and strengthening muscles and bones. Deer is a treasure all over its body. Even if there is no deer antlers, deer bones, deer fetuses, deer hearts, deer blood, deer sinews, deer whips and deer tails in this season, they are all valuable nourishing raw materials. Venison meat is tender, delicious, lean and connective. It has less tissue, nourishes the spleen and qi, warms the kidneys and strengthens yang. It is a good tonic food and has a good warming effect on people who often have cold hands and feet.

There is nothing else in the Hidden Forest. All kinds of deer can be found everywhere, especially a kind of ferocious elk. It has a fierce and aggressive temperament and is extremely powerful. Its body is covered with dark fluffy hair, and its shoulders, back and legs extend. Producing sharp bone plate armor, the huge antlers of the stag can exceed twelve feet, and the load can reach three tons. Chen Jinyang has seen this ferocious animal before. It is a huge animal with a shoulder height of six feet and a body length of more than ten feet. It is recharged with life, and its antlers are almost as big as its body.

The heavy snow stopped on the night of the third day, and the howling wind also disappeared on the morning of the fourth day. Chen Jinyang pushed open the cellar baffle with force, and a bit of coldness hit his face with snowflakes. He couldn't help but tremble. After a cold war, I wrapped myself in a thick blanket and walked out of the cellar; the snow on the ground was more than two feet thick, and it covered my knees when I stepped on it. The cold sunlight reflected the magnificent colorful colors on the snow, and several unknown birds Birds were jumping around in the stables, and when they saw Chen Jinyang coming out, they were chirping and flying without a trace. Two goats were lying on the haystack, chewing and ruminating.

When Alos and Xiao Mishaer woke up, Chen Jinyang had already cleared a path in the village and cleared away the snow on a small open space. Xiao Alos rubbed his eyes, stretched and sat up, and saw Xiaomi Shar was lying in the sleeping bag playing with a weird boot. There were three more similar boots, two big and one small. He swore he had never seen such weird and ugly boots. The fire in the fireplace was still so strong, and there was a gurgling sound in the iron pot. Dugudu exudes the fragrance of orchid lettuce stewed with sausage.

"Mishael, where is the eldest brother?"

"William is out. Look, Alos! Look!" Little Mishal put her hand into her boots and stretched it out towards Alos. "This glove is so ugly!"

Chen Jinyang, who had just opened the door and was about to come in, stumbled and almost fell down. Although he knew that his craftsmanship was terrible, Xiao Misha'er's words were too shocking. The boots he had worked so hard to make were actually considered gloves. He pretended to be nonchalant. walked in, ready to severely criticize Xiao Mishaer's aesthetic vision.

"William! Look! Your condom is so big!" Seeing Chen Jinyang come in, the little girl who was about to present the treasure noticed the "condom" on his feet and couldn't help but let out a shocking sigh. Chen Jinyang was really impressed by the little girl. The girl's Tong Yanwuji was defeated.

Little Alos shrugged helplessly at Chen Jinyang, who was looking over. Although he knew that his elder brother had been busy with this stuff for the past two days, he had to admit that Xiao Misha'er's boots really looked like gloves without fingers. Handmade boots, especially It is made of a hard material like the bottom of a sleeping bag, which is definitely a difficult test. The bigger version of this thing is just fine, but the smaller one like Xiaomi Shaer looks different the smaller it is.

After a while of playing, little Mishal was put on boots or "foot muffs", which were wrapped in thin soft blankets. The boot openings were tied tightly with thin strips of blanket cut into finger-widths. The little girl walked with small steps. , it is indeed very warm.

After breakfast, Chen Jinyang asked little Alos to close the door and stay at home to take care of his sister. He had an iron sword on his waist, two wooden javelins in his hand, a backpack and a rope on his back, and a blanket as he walked out of the village. The whole land outside the village was vast. Thousands of miles of silver, looking at the vast expanse, the forest is heavy with snow and the green pines can hardly stand straight. The strong wind last night left no trace of this generation of birds and beasts in silence.

Walking through the knee-deep snow, Chen Jinyang headed towards a valley where he could take shelter from the wind. There should be animals sheltering from the wind nearby. There were also various monsters hunting there, but the brave Chen Jinyang, who was an expert in arts, did not let them go. In my eyes, I don’t know whether I should call him arrogant or ignorant and fearless. After walking hard in the snow for a long time, Chen Jinyang found the footprints of an animal on the snow near the wind-sheltered valley, which seemed to be a kind of toe-like hunter. Eater, he raised his head and looked at the wind direction. It was a very small headwind. The terrain in the jungle is complex and the wind direction is unpredictable. If he wants to hunt animals with a keen sense of smell and high alertness, hunters need to always pay attention to the position of the wind outlet.

Chen Jinyang followed the footprints. Not far ahead, a jungle gray leopard was slowly approaching a group of snow guinea fowl. When he heard the crunching sound of the snow behind him, he paused and found a snow guinea fowl approaching a predator.

The chickens fled in all directions. The jungle gray leopard, which failed in the sneak attack, roared demonstratively at Chen Jinyang who appeared from behind, and walked away in disappointment. He was not ashamed at all of the rude behavior of disturbing others' breakfast.

Chen Jinyang continued to move towards the edge of the valley. He climbed up a slope, and a group of different types of herbivores appeared in front of him. Some clawed through the snow, and some tore through the nearby bushes for food. There were various deer, muntjac, and antelopes.

, bison, wild sheep, woolly rhino and gray mastodon, and even a few razorback boars.

Chen Jinyang's target is a swollen-bone deer. It is as big as a light horse, with fairly large and thick horns. Its eyebrow branches are vertical and flat, and the distal end of the main branch is palm-shaped. Its fur is fine and silky. It has a gentle and cautious temperament, and it forages for moss.

Small shrubs, leaves and conifers can also be domesticated and raised; there is a lot of hay to feed livestock in the village, and he plans to capture a few alive. The captive swollen deer will shed their old antlers and grow new antlers next spring.

It is more reliable than hunting in the wild, and you can get fresh deer blood at any time.

Chen Jinyang took off the rope from his body, tied it into a looper, held it in his hand, and slowly approached the location of the swollen deer. Suddenly, there were noisy shouts and roars around him, and a group of goblins and two ogres rushed out.

, the herd suddenly went into chaos, screaming and struggling to escape in the deep snow. Chen Jinyang, who had just approached and was about to take action, quickly threw out the rope. The two swollen deer that could not dodge were entangled in their antlers and fell together. He stood up

Avoiding the herd of beasts that were charging towards him, he grabbed a muntjac that was running by and pinned it to the ground. He tied its limbs with ropes and dragged them to the swollen deer, where they tied the first three together.

A dozen old and weak small animals ran on the snow for a while and then stopped. The goblins rushed up and beat them to death, then fought with each other and dragged their hooves away. They were originally chasing the herd.

As soon as the two ogres saw Chen Jinyang, they immediately gave up the herd and ran towards him one after another. Standing on the snow that was trampled hard by the beasts, Chen Jinyang drew out a javelin, his whole spine turned like a big python, and his feet sank with strength.

He flipped his hand and threw out the electric shot, and with a "whoosh" sound it penetrated the air and inserted into the big mouth of the ogre running in front. It came out through the brain and brought up a stream of dirty blood and stuck it on the snow.

The ogre running in front was grinning and charging excitedly. The arm of the prey that was about to reach him shook. The ogre instantly felt something entering his mouth and suffered a sharp pain. His vision went dark and he fell on the snow.

Plunged into boundless darkness.

Chen Jinyang, who was pulling out another javelin in his hand, cheered from the bottom of his heart: "Damn! It's so powerful! I originally wanted to shoot it in the chest, but the sole of my foot slipped."

The ogre that was slightly behind started to see its companion in front of him ran a few steps and fell to the ground wailing. He thought it had accidentally slipped. He was secretly proud that he had an opportunity and ran even more vigorously. After running a few steps, he found his companion.

It fell to the ground and twitched unconsciously, which made it feel that something was wrong. Then it saw the bloody javelin stuck in the snow, and finally realized that its companion had been killed. It saw Chen Jinyang holding another javelin and was about to throw it, and was extremely frightened.

With a ghostly howl, he couldn't stop and fell to the ground and slid more than ten meters away. He looked up and saw that he was getting closer to Chen Jinyang. The remaining ogre, who was scared out of his mind, rolled over and crawled away in the direction away from Chen Jinyang.

The goblins who had harvested a lot and were crowding around to watch the fun were dumbfounded as the battle ended instantly with the ogre brothers dying and escaping. They were so frightened that they dragged their prey and disappeared.

Chen Jinyang, who originally thought he was going to have a fierce battle, was also dumbfounded as he looked at the monsters leaving. He didn't know how to describe it. He ran away before the fight started. Although one of them died, the close combat hadn't even started yet. Doesn’t it mean that all powerful monsters will fight to the death? This ogre is too timid.
