Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 97 Spend the night in the mountains
  "Look at the tree in front of Uncle Erlu, there are obvious traces of wild boars rubbing against it, and the grass over there. If you look closely, you can see traces of wild boars moving around here.
  The traces were fresh, indicating that a group of wild boars had not strayed far. "

It's a pity that the snow here has melted now, otherwise you can clearly see the traces of wild boars.

Lu Jiansheng said slowly.

"Jiansheng is right. Erdan, you should learn from it if you follow me."

Uncle Erlu came over at this time and cast an approving look at Lu Jiansheng.

Ever since Lu Jiansheng and Li Dazhu shot a wild leopard, he had been deeply impressed by this young man. He heard that he was from Liuligouzi. He had never gone hunting in the mountains before. However, not only did he save Li Laosan after going hunting in the mountains,

Moreover, he and Li Dazhu fought a wild leopard that they didn't even catch. He originally thought that Lu Jiansheng was just lucky.

Now it seems that he made a mistake. This kid still has skills and can see the key to the problem at a glance.

Uncle Erlu looked at Lu Jiansheng and asked with a smile: "Jiansheng, since you said that the wild boar herd is nearby, where do you think this nest of wild boars should be placed?"

When others heard this, they immediately became interested, especially those who didn't know him. They all looked at Lu Jiansheng curiously, wanting to see what he was capable of.

Uncle Erlu also nodded: "You kid, you think the same as me."

"Haha! Because it's so windy there!"

"What?"

However, when disemboweling someone in the mountains, especially at night, the smell of blood will definitely attract the beasts in the mountains.

The other hunters couldn't help but nodded when they heard this. It seemed that this young man from another village had some abilities.

"Uncle Er Donkey, what are we waiting for? Let the dogs catch wild boars!"

Erdan was very excited.

The dustpan nest that Lu Jiansheng was talking about happened to be at a corner of the hillside closest to them.

People say they are as stupid as pigs, which is actually an insult to pigs. Pigs are not stupid at all. On the contrary, wild boars are very smart.

Lu Jiansheng knew that Uncle Erlu was being sophisticated. He looked around for a while and said with a smile: "The traces are very new. The wild boars can't go far, probably on the sunny slope over there. I guess these wild boars are on the sunny slope." It’s hidden in that dustpan nest.”

Erdan said blankly.

"Erdan, what are you thinking about? It's almost dark now. Even if you kill wild boars, you still plan to spend the night with their carcasses!" Li Dazhu knocked Erdan's head at this time.

Wild boars know how to escape the cold and survive the cold winter. Under normal circumstances, wild boars will choose to stay on the sunny slope with the longest sunshine time.

As Li Dazhu said, even if you kill a wild boar now, it is not easy to keep it overnight, especially now that the weather in the mountains is still cold, but if you want to take the wild boar carcass to spend the night in the mountains, you still have to disembowel the wild boar, otherwise it will take a day to transport it back. It had been one night, and the wild boar had already been disembowelled.

The general direction there is east-west, but it's a little northeast.

That part of the hillside can be hit by the sun immediately, and because it is a hollow, it can be protected from the wind.

You see, when the snow melts in the mountains, the temperature is several degrees below zero. Wild boars are not stupid, so they naturally want to find a warm place to sleep with leeward wind.

As long as an experienced hunter knows how to choose, he will definitely not do it unless he has to.

Wouldn't it make yourself uncomfortable?
  It's better to hunt wild boars early tomorrow morning.
  It's easier to just carry it home.

Lu Jiansheng nodded when he heard this. Li Dazhu had indeed been here several times. He was usually more impulsive when he was with him, but now he has calmed down.

When he came over, he looked far away on the hillside and felt that if he were a wild boar, he would definitely stay somewhere. Now that he saw the traces left by the wild boar, it was new, so Lu Jiansheng felt more sure at this time.

Uncle Erlu obviously also understands this truth.

Soon the group of people arrived at the foot of the hillside.

"You stay here first, Zhuzi, Jiansheng, come with me to take a look,"

Second Donkey Uncle ordered.

Then the three of them climbed up the hillside,
  What you can see is not only shrubs, but also many oaks, pecans and other miscellaneous trees.

Oak trees are also called oak trees, and acorns are one of wild boar’s favorite foods. Acorns contain a large amount of starch, crude protein, crude fiber and other nutrients that are basically the same as corn.

So, basically, wherever there are oak forests, there are basically wild boars.

The three of them climbed up the hillside. Although they did not see a herd of wild boars, they also found a few small wild boars.

But these few little wild boars were enough for them to confirm that there must be a herd of wild boars under the hillside.

After all, most wild boars hide in holes to sleep during the day and forage for food at night.

The reason why Uncle Erlu didn't bring so many people up was because he was afraid of alerting the enemy. With these few small wild boars, an experienced hunter would be able to determine that there was a herd of wild boars hiding around, and it could also be seen that the size of the wild boar herd was not large.

As for where the wild boar is hiding, it doesn't matter at all. What is the purpose of bringing the dog? As long as you know that the wild boar is here, just let the dog go and let the dog search for it tomorrow.

Lu Jiansheng's mind was not at the bottom of the hillside, but in the distance. You must know that the scope of Yezhu Ridge is not small.

Their location was only the northeastern edge of Wild Boar Ridge. They found a herd of wild boars so quickly. There must be a lot of them there, otherwise it wouldn't be called Wild Boar Ridge. If you want to hunt more wild boars in the future, you will definitely have to come to this place.

"Uncle Erlu, to the northwest of Yeboar Ridge is Woniugou. What is the place to the southeast?"

Li Dazhu suddenly pointed to a high mountain in the distance and asked.

"Dazhu, why do you think of asking this?"

"No, I suddenly remembered that everyone seems to be talking about Yezhu Ridge. It seems that no one has ever heard of the place southeast of Yezhu Ridge."

“Beyond Wild Boar Ridge is the real deep mountain, which is really an inaccessible place.

The northeast of Yezhu Ridge is the direction we came from, the southeast is Panchang Mountain, and further inside Panchang Mountain is Jiutou Mountain.
  Because there is a swamp between Panchang Mountain and Jiutou Mountain, so generally no one has been there. "

Uncle Erlu said slowly.

I didn't expect that there are swamps in this mountain. It seems that people who don't know the way are really easy to suffer, Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but think after hearing this. "Okay, let's go back to the cave and rest! Come here early tomorrow morning."

Second Donkey Uncle ordered.

"Cave? They have never been to any cave, but..."

Lu Jiansheng's heart moved again, but he also probably understood that Kaoshantun would come to Yeboar Ridge for hunting every few months, so how could he not find a safe shelter for himself?

You must know that it is most dangerous to go hunting in the mountains and spend the night in the mountains. You must be prepared for sneak attacks by wild beasts at any time.

After all, Wild Boar Ridge! This place with wild boars,

There must be some ferocious beasts,
  Moreover, wild boars are also nocturnal animals. If they encounter a herd of wild boars in the middle of the night, even if they have many people, it will be very dangerous.

Therefore, Lu Jiansheng was most worried about spending the night in the deep mountains and old forests. Now that there are caves, it is much safer than he thought.

The cave that Uncle Erlu mentioned was a little far away from the hillside. By the time Lu Jiansheng and his party were about to arrive, it was already dark.

Everyone is holding torches now!

Along the way, Lu Jiansheng also learned that,

According to Dashan on the side, this cave was snatched by a dozen people from his grandfather's generation from a blind bear to facilitate hunting.

Now they rely on Shantun to organize people to come to Yeboar Ridge, and they will all live in caves, which is safer.

Soon, the group came to the entrance of the cave.

I only saw this cave,

It was blocked tightly by rocks and trees, obviously to prevent the animals in the mountains from breaking in.

Seeing that the entrance of the cave was intact, Uncle Erlu breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly ordered people to carry the things blocking the trees in the cave.

Then a group of people walked into the cave,
  The whole cave is not big,
  Lu Jiansheng walked in to take a look!
  Good guy!
  It’s clean inside, and there are actually quite a few caves in the mountains.
  But most of them are uninhabitable, and there are a lot of bats and bugs inside. It's obvious that some treatment has been done here.

There are some grass and branches inside!

You can raise the fire directly,

As long as you guard the entrance of the cave,

There are basically no wild animals coming in,

Soon the fire started! Everyone gathers together and makes a fire,
  Eating solid food.

at night!

Everyone took turns to keep vigil,

At this time, there were roars from time to time outside. Most of them were completely sleepless at this time.
  There was no talking all night, and the night was spent safely.

Early the next morning, after everyone blocked the cave again,

So he immediately went to the hillside where he found the wild boar,

"superior."

After arriving at the destination, following Uncle Erlu's order, everyone released the hunting dogs, and Lu Jiansheng also released Lao Hei.

The barking of dogs woke up the sleeping wild boars.

After a burst of pig noises, two large wild boars weighing more than 300 kilograms ran out first and entered Lu Jiansheng's sight.

"Brother Lu, the wild boar is out!"

Erdan shouted in surprise.

"Calm down, calm down! I saw it!"

As Lu Jiansheng spoke, he took off his gun, slowly took out the magazine, stuck the magazine into the magazine, and then turned off the safety.

"Brother Lu, why don't we go after him?" Erdan asked anxiously.

Lu Jiansheng took a look and saw that there were already three or four people chasing after him. Moreover, the wild boar was an equal fight, so he didn't need to put in too much effort.

"Don't worry yet, two wild boars came out just now, and there will be more behind."

After Lu Jiansheng finished speaking, he raised his gun.

Li Dazhu on the side also nodded.

Most of the wild boar herd is composed of sows and piglets, a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled. They are not as grumpy as boars, and they are not as curious. Once there is any trouble, they will immediately run away, and they will always run away. I didn't stand up until I put food in the afternoon.

Don't look at what is often said in the mountains: one pig, two bears and three tigers.

It seems that wild boars are more powerful than bears and tigers. In fact, what we are talking about here is the harm to crops and the mountains. Wild boars often come down from the mountains to harm crops. Basically, many wild boars come down from the mountains to harm crops every year.

Bears occasionally descend from the mountains and damage crops.

Tigers, on the other hand, rarely go down the mountain or meet people face to face.

Unless there is a big accident in the mountains and the tigers really have nothing to eat, it is better to not go down the mountains and enter the villages to harm the people.

Sows and piglets are still very timid. Under normal circumstances, they will run away quickly when encountering hunting dogs.
