Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 75 Gathering and Hunting

At about three or four o'clock the next day, Lu Jiansheng got up from the bed. It was still dark and the room was pitch black! !

He turned on the tin flashlight, got dressed, and got out of bed.

Even after putting on his clothes, the cold wind blowing in the hall made his whole body tremble. Lu Jiansheng gritted his teeth. He didn't want to get up so early.

However, the mountain road is difficult to walk. It takes most of a day to go back from Kaoshan Village to Eagle Cliff. In the middle, we hunt for an hour or two. By the time we get back to Kaoshan Village, it will be dark!

The key point is that this does not include the distance from Liuligouzi Village to Kaoshantun. You must know that from Liuligouzi Village to Kaoshantun,
  Not only was there a short distance, but there was also a mountain road to walk, so he had to get up early in order to reach Kaoshantun before dawn.

Lu Jiansheng came together and lit the kerosene lamp with a flashlight. However, as soon as he woke up, Dabao, five other puppies, and Lao Hei all woke up and followed him. Only the lazy donkey was lying in the main room. at every turn.

Lu Jiansheng first cooked porridge for himself, steamed a chipmunk, and boiled six eggs. Now he has two old hens at home, which are good at laying eggs. Lu Jiansheng cooked so many eggs.
  Not to eat now, but to use it as dry food on the way to Eagle Cliff! As for the steamed chipmunk, he was also going to take it with him. Not only could he eat it when he went into the mountains, but he could also share part of it with Lao Hei as dry food.

After all, it was his first time to go to Eagle Cliff. It was a bit far away, so he had to be prepared. Unlike his usual hunting in the mountains, he can also go to the hunting cabin to cook and eat at noon.

Also cooked some dog food! There is no meat under Lao Hei's belly, only a thin layer of skin, and the marks on his ribs can be seen. It is obvious that the food he has been eating is not good, and he needs to be replenished to make up for what he lacks.

Dabao and the others immediately returned to the kennel obediently.

There is no one on the road. Of course, it would be scary if there were people at this point!
  It was dark all around and it was eerily quiet along the way!
  Especially when Lu Jiansheng took Lao Hei into the mountains, various small animals made strange sounds.

Lu Jiansheng is dressed like this and is going hunting. Now that his butt is bigger, everyone wants to follow him up the mountain to hunt.

Then Lu Jiansheng turned on his flashlight! Take Lao Hei to Kaoshantun.

One person and one dog, winding along the rugged mountain road, heading straight to Kaoshan Village.

This is the result of daily training.

Lu Jiansheng chopped three chipmunks, chopped the chipmunk meat into one piece, then went to the kitchen to take out yesterday's leftovers, boiled them in water, poured them into the dog rice bowl, and a large bowl of dog rice was ready.

What a fucking talent!

Seeing Lu Jiansheng's outfit, Dabao and the others instantly became excited, spinning around at his feet.
  One by one, they are scrambling. This is a good hunting dog. When they see hunting, they will enter a state of excitement.

Lu Jiansheng simply trained them as military dogs.

Lu Jiansheng was a little proud. Although he had hunted before being reborn, he had never trained a dog like this. Moreover, the white dragon cub was smart and was relatively easy to train and obedient.

"Dabao, you stay at home and look after the house, Lao Hei follow me." Lu Jiansheng made this commanding gesture.

Lu Jiansheng's only worry is whether there will be wild beasts coming out of the mountains. If there is Lao Hei,
  He would definitely not go to Kaoshantun alone at night! After all, even if he had a gun and a flashlight, it would be difficult to prevent something from jumping out of the mountains.

Lao Hei is not like this. It's not that Lao Hei is not a good hunting dog. It's mainly because Lao Hei just bought it yesterday. Although he is very intelligent, he is not too familiar with his appearance.

However, Lu Jiansheng was very courageous. In his previous life, he had been living abroad without a place to live. He even slept in old cemeteries and never believed in evil.

You must know that Lu Jiansheng usually chooses three of them to take up the mountain for hunting, so he lets them know each one.

After Lu Jiansheng finished eating, he immediately tied his leggings and filled his pocket with bullets. He put a shotgun on his back and a knife on his shoulder. Considering that he could catch big prey, he specially brought it with him this time. Holding the rope.

This Dabao and the other five puppies have not grown up yet, otherwise they would eat more.
  That is to say, he went up to the mountains to hunt and there was no shortage of meat. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to afford so many dogs.

Lao Hei is very good at eating. After a while, Lao Hei, Dabao and the other puppies finished the dog food in the basin.

Lu Jiansheng looked at the bowl of dog food and sighed.

These are the natural instincts of hunting dogs, and of course they also need guidance from their owners. If they have been kept at home, this will certainly not be the case.

At this moment, Lao Hei, who had been beside him, suddenly stopped, raised his head high, leaned forward slightly, motionless, and looked warily to the left of Mang Linzi.

"What did you find?"

This is a common reaction of hunting dogs after spotting prey. A good hunting dog or an experienced hunting dog will not bark after discovering prey, but will first give warning actions to the owner so as not to disturb the prey.

Only timid hunting dogs will bark.

Of course, this also depends on the situation. If the owner encounters a dangerous or urgent situation, they will shout to remind them. If they encounter a beast head-on, they will also rush up and shout to be brave.
  Normally, when hunting by surprise, they would not bark, just like when Dabao led him to find the Sand Ban Chicken. The cry would easily scare away the prey.

Lu Jiansheng looked over immediately.

I saw several pairs of green eyes looking at me on the hillside in the forest.

Lu Jiansheng immediately looked with a flashlight,
  As soon as the flashlight shined, he ran away quickly.

Lu Jiansheng didn't see clearly what was going on.
  But it shouldn't be anything big, probably a weasel or something like that. After all, this is outside the mountains, so unless you're very unlucky, you shouldn't encounter any beasts.

Of course, after last time, I encountered a wild leopard hunting a big yellow dog in the mountains.

Lu Jiansheng was very vigilant.

One person and one dog walked on the mountain road and climbed over the ridge in the dark night.

There was no danger, and it was daybreak soon.

When they were approaching the entrance of the village, Lao Hei suddenly barked twice. Soon Lu Jiansheng saw Li Dazhu with two dogs waiting for him at the entrance of the village.

The two dogs were the two big dogs he borrowed from his third uncle, a big yellow dog and a green wolf.

Lu Jiansheng walked over with the dog.

The three dogs got together and smelled each other's scent as a greeting.

"Brother Lu is here."

Seeing Lu Jiansheng coming over, Li Dazhu shouted with excitement on his face.

"Dazhu, you came quite early!" Lu Jiansheng smiled and greeted Li Dazhu.

"I just arrived too!"

Li Dazhu replied. "Okay, let's go to Eagle Cliff now, Dazhu, you will lead the way."

At first, the two of them were chatting and heading there.

The three dogs sniffed each other's private parts and communicated silently with each other.

As they walked a little further into the mountains, the two of them started to become wary.

The two of them climbed over mountains and ridges along the way,
  The mountain road is very difficult to walk. When walking, you must follow the footprints of previous people. Otherwise, if you accidentally step on the snow on various slopes and ridges, you will slide down. Even if it is not serious, it will take a lot of time. .

Li Dazhu led the two dogs and walked towards the Eagle Cliff of Xishan Mountain. Lu Jiansheng led Lao Hei and followed behind.

Along the way, Lao Hei called out several times, but Lu Jiansheng ignored him.

Lao Hei must have found prey, but Lu Jiansheng was not sure what it was.

If it’s a hare or a pheasant, it’s such a waste of time!
  Therefore, Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu ignored it.

Their target today is the deer herd in Eagle Cliff.

If you happen to meet a black blind man!

Of course Lu Jiansheng will not let it go.

It will be noon soon,
  Both of them had exhausted a lot. Li Dazhu and Lu Jiansheng had begun to pant, and their legs were a little weak.

Fortunately, both of them also brought dry food.

Lu Jiansheng ate an egg when he was hungry, and two mouthfuls of snow when he was thirsty.

He also gave Lao Hei a few bites of the chipmunk meat he brought to replenish his strength.

It wasn't until they reached Eagle Cliff that Lu Jiansheng took off Lao Hei's dog leash. The pillar also unbuckled the two dogs' necks.

I saw two dogs on the pillar, sniffing east and west on the ground and running forward.

Lao Hei raised his head, sniffed the air, and then ran forward.

"Brother Lu, where did you get this old dog? It still looks good!"

Li Dazhu raised his thumb at Lu Jiansheng.

Lu Jiansheng was stunned for a moment before he remembered.

In the local area, good hunting dogs are generally known as low-down scent and head-up scent. Lower-down scent refers to lowering the head to sniff the scent left by the prey. Head-up scent refers to raising the head to sniff the scent left by the prey in the air. The head-up scent is worse than the lower-down scent. Much more. Of course, this only refers to finding prey. It is not as convenient to lower your head and raise your head to find prey.

It was also the first time for Lu Jiansheng to take Lao Hei to the mountains for hunting, and he didn't notice it for a moment.

"Good luck! I happened to buy it on the street."

Lu Jiansheng said happily, and then he and Li Dazhu followed the dog into the forest.

Since Lao Hei and Li Dazhu's dogs didn't bark just now, it means that the area is safe and there are no wild animals.

After running not far, they saw three dogs standing under a big blue poplar with a crooked neck, turning back to bark at Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu.

Under the big blue poplar, there are various deer footprints scattered, as well as a corpse.

It was the carcass of a deer. It should be the deer that Dashan and the others killed. After it died, it was eaten by unknown animals at night, leaving only a pile of remains.

"Brother Lu, look at the footprints on the ground. There are at least seven or eight deer here."

Li Dazhu said with some excitement that the terrain of Eagle Cliff is a bit special, and coupled with the habits of the deer, they will not run too far. Although the footprints were all left yesterday, there is still a high possibility that they are nearby.

After a while, Lao Hei shouted again! Then Dahuang and Langqing also screamed.

From now on, we can see the benefits of incense.
  Although Da Huang and Lang Qing are also very good at finding traces, they are not as fast as Lao Hei.

Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu walked towards the three dogs, and saw the body of a dog not far from the deer carcass. This was the dog that Goudan and Dashan died. Li Dazhu said that it was blinded by a bear. Clap your hands to death.

At this time, the meat on the dog's body was the same as that of the deer, which had been eaten by someone unknown. There were also the messy footprints of the blind bear next to it.

"Brother Lu, are we chasing the blind bear or the herd of deer?" Li Dazhu asked, the two directions were different.

"Needless to say, of course it's chasing deer."

Lu Jiansheng glanced at Li Dazhu angrily,
  The blind bear is different from the herd of deer. The blind bear may have run far away. If he encounters the blind bear head-on, Lu Jiansheng will definitely not let him go. If he follows the footprints, there is no guarantee that he will be able to catch him. After all, they are in Eagle Cliff. You can't stay too long either.

"Lao Hei!" Lu Jiansheng shouted, and Lao Hei immediately ran over.

"Chase!"

Li Dazhu also recruited Dahuang and Langqing,

The three dogs followed the deer's tracks in front.

Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu followed.

A good hunting dog will stay excited while not staying too far away from its owner, especially when running, and will always pay attention to the owner's location.

Lu Jiansheng observed this in Lao Hei.

Every time it runs a little further, it will immediately stop and look back for Lu Jiansheng. It will not continue running until Lu Jiansheng catches up, which is quite measured.

As for Li Dazhu's rhubarb and langqing, they are much different.

Of course, it may also be because those two dogs were not raised by him, but it was also the first time Lu Jiansheng and Lao Hei went hunting together in the mountains, so there was no doubt about his talent.

"This ten yuan is so worth it!" Lu Jiansheng gasped, feeling extremely happy.
