Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 3 Mountain Spring! Hunting hares and pheasants

Seeing that there was snow everywhere in the mountains and the mountain roads were not easy to walk, Lu Jiansheng walked for more than two hours without any energy in his stomach.
  This made him breathless, and Lu Jiansheng planned to take a rest in this leeward place.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly the sound of flowing mountain spring water appeared in Lu Jiansheng's ears, which made him feel happy.

Because according to his hunting experience, animals in the mountains generally like to appear in places with water, especially since most of the mountains are covered with ice and snow.
  As long as you find the mountain spring, you might get something. Lu Jiansheng had lived in the mountains and knew the preferences of animals. He immediately cheered up and followed the sound and walked cautiously.

Sure enough, we found a small mountain spring mouth. Due to the long-term erosion of the water from the mountain spring mouth, the soil and humus accumulated in this large mountain to create a large flat area. After it was covered with weeds, it formed an area of ​​about three or four meters. There is a meadow swamp, and there is a hare about two or three pounds in it.

Not only that, there is a group of three little hares at the front, eating fresh branches and leaves leisurely.
  Lu Jiasheng couldn't help but feel happy. After walking around in the mountains for almost two hours, he finally saw wild animals.

Lu Jiansheng approached carefully,

Seeing that he was in the shooting range of his bow and arrow, Lu Jiansheng immediately took off the bow and arrow in his hand.
  Aim for wild rabbits.

Draw the bow and shoot an arrow in one go.

In the weed pile, there were more than a dozen pheasants looking for food in groups. Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but feel happy, because the group of pheasants didn't notice his presence at all at the moment.

That's how it is in the mountains,
  Even if you are an experienced hunter, you can't catch it just by sight.

The wild rabbit ran in front, and Lu Jiansheng chased behind him. However, the mountains were not like the plains. There were too many trees. Not only was it difficult to shoot, but it was also difficult to catch. If it had been left on the plains, such a fat rabbit would have been killed by him long ago. Caught.

Lu Jiansheng carefully touched the pheasants.

This is to allow one arrow to miss and quickly shoot another.

You know, these days, a few cents is not a small sum in a remote rural village like Liuligouzi.

Lu Jiansheng didn't have time to be upset, because he discovered that a wild rabbit weighing more than five kilograms came out of nowhere.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiansheng worked even harder.
  However, in the blink of an eye, the fat rabbit disappeared without a trace.

"Whoosh"

He immediately ran away

In fact, there aren't too many wild animals outside, but he doesn't have a gun to defend himself, and he doesn't dare to go in rashly. He still has a wife and children waiting for him at home.
  He can only try his luck.

Baichang Mountain is so big that it would be impossible to walk through it for several days or nights, and there are mountains connected with mountains. There are even wild beasts in the depths of Baichang Mountain, so Lu Jiansheng is only on the outermost edge.

After taking a look, the pheasant did not notice his presence. Lu Jiansheng quickly took down all the bamboo arrows on his body.

Lu Jiansheng was not discouraged. He slowly began to search for prey.

Needless to say the quantity,
  If the blind cat encounters a dead mouse this time, he will surely shoot one!

You must know that the wild ones are basically chickens but no more than three rabbits but no more than five. This rabbit can weigh more than five kilograms, which shows how fat it is.
  Especially since he was not running very fast in the snow. Seeing this, Lu Jiansheng was not willing to let go and quickly chased after him.

The hard work paid off. More than half an hour later, Lu Jiansheng suddenly discovered that there was a dense pile of weeds not far from him.

The arrow shot directly hit the hare's feet. Only then did the hare find Lao Liu.

''Nima! Just a little bit. "

After a while, he stopped at a suitable location.

The wild rabbit in front of him would be enough to feed Lu Jiansheng's family of four for several days if caught, and the rabbit skin would probably be sold for a few cents at the county purchasing station.

Take a deep breath.

Lu Jiansheng drew and aimed his bow in one go.
  This time I seem to have found the feeling of ejaculation

"Whoosh"

A pheasant screamed

No need to think about it, Lu Jiansheng knew that he had hit the target. At this time, the screams of the pheasants also woke up the surrounding pheasants.

Suddenly some pheasants ran and some flew, scattering in all directions. How could Lu Jiansheng miss the opportunity? As early as when the first arrow hit,
  Lu Jiansheng didn't have time to think too much. He had already finished drawing the second arrow.

嗖

嗖

Lu Jiansheng shot two arrows in a row, but unfortunately he only hit two of the pheasants. When he refused to give up and tried to shoot again, the pheasants had already disappeared.

Lu Jiansheng ran over quickly,
  I shot two pheasants in total. These two pheasants were quite big.

The two of them together probably weigh more than four kilograms.

One was shot in the leg, and although the other was still jumping around, he probably wouldn't survive for long. Lu Jiansheng quickly packed them up in sacks.

With so many pheasants here, maybe... Lu Jiansheng searched around and found several nests of pheasants in the haystacks.
  Lu Jiansheng pretended not to kill them all. After all, he left the pheasants here. Maybe those pheasants would come back. Anyway, the pheasants were here and couldn't escape.

"hey-hey"

I left a mark, it's still early before dark

Lu Jiansheng continued to hunt in the mountains~
  Half an hour
  One hour

For two hours, Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but feel speechless. Except for the two pheasants he got at the beginning, Lu Jiansheng didn't get any.

Although we also saw some wild animals, it was too difficult to catch them. Often, the animals would run away before people even got close to them.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Jiansheng went back with the pheasants...

Lu Jiansheng planned to eat the dying one himself and sell the living one in exchange for some grain. Lu Jiansheng felt distressed when he thought of his wife and daughter eating the moldy sweet potato rice.

On the way back, the pheasant in the sack was still struggling.

The sun sets in the west, and smoke rises in the distance. Every household is cooking dinner.

The room was very dark, the lighting was not good, and there was not even a kerosene lamp in the house.

When Lu Jiansheng came home, two little dumplings, Tangtang and Xixi, were playing in the yard.

When they saw Lu Jiansheng coming back, the eyes of the two little dumplings suddenly lit up, and they shouted into the room with their milky voices.

"Mom, dad is back." Tangtang and Xixi were both at an age where they didn't remember anything.

Although he is usually afraid of Lu Jiansheng, when he sees his father coming back, he still rushes to tell Bai Ruoxi.

~

In the kitchen

Bai Ruoxi looked at the rice vat at home and couldn't help but feel a little worried. There wasn't much sweet potato rice at home.

I can only save food, but two children
  She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Deng Deng Deng..." There were footsteps outside the house, the voices of two little guys.

Bai Ruoxi quickly turned her back secretly, wiped her tears, then showed a smile, turned to look at the two milk dumplings and said, "What's wrong with Tangtang Xixi? Are you hungry? Mommy is going to cook now!"

Bai Ruoxi lovingly touched the heads of the two milk dumplings. Then prepare to light a fire and cook.

"Mom, Tangtang is not hungry, daddy is back!!"

"Dad is back!"

After saying that, the two little guys walked out again with their short legs.
  Looking at the cute figures of the two little guys,

Lu Jiansheng's heart couldn't help but move. He really wanted to hold his daughter in his arms.

But the two little guys stayed away from him because they were afraid of him.

Suddenly he had an idea.

"If you two let daddy give you a hug, you will have chicken legs to eat today."

Lu Jiansheng said seductively.

"Dad, you can't get enough chicken legs if you lie to me!"

“Xixi hasn’t eaten chicken legs yet!”

As soon as they heard that they were eating chicken legs, the two little guys licked their mouths and saliva could not help but flow out. They looked at Lu Jiansheng with a pair of big eyes.

"Don't worry, dad never lies!"

Lu Jiansheng chuckled.

"Xixi wants to eat chicken legs!"

"Tangtang wants to eat it too!"

Xixi's heart was moved when she moved, and she ran over in a hurry: "Xixi wants to eat chicken legs! Even if she is spanked, she is willing."

Tangtang: "Dad, please be gentle!"

The two little guys looked as if they were dead, and Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but laugh and cry.
