Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1019: Deer Herd Appears
After the four men set up the trap, they sprinkled a handful of salt on all the places where the trap was set to increase the temptation. The entire trap was then completed.

The reason why the word "even if" is used is because this trap is not perfect.

Wang An and four others were needed to guard the hilltop that Feng Chengmin had pointed out before. After that, they would wait for the deer to enter and then open fire to cause the deer to flee in panic.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to catch all 30+ deer.

Everything was ready on the saline-alkali land, and Feng Chengmin, Wang An and three others led their horses towards the top of the hill.

It's true that the geographical location of this hill is very good, because standing on it, you can have a clear view of the entire saline-alkali land. If a herd of deer comes over, Wang An and his four companions will be able to spot them first.

In addition, there is a small meadow at the foot of the hill, where the four people can leave their horses on the meadow to graze without having to worry about them.

The four of them hid behind a bush on the top of the mountain and were finally able to take a good puff of cigarette.

Feng Chengmin lit a cigarette and took a long puff eagerly. He half-closed his eyes and exhaled the cigarette before saying:

"Oh my god, I'm addicted to it. My throat has been itchy all day."

After taking several puffs in a row, Feng Chengmin finished the cigarette. But the most amazing thing was that the ash of the whole cigarette was still red, without even a trace of ash falling off!

After finishing the first cigarette, Feng Chengmin took out another one, mixed the first cigarette with the second one, and continued smoking.

Fortunately, Feng Chengmin didn't smoke the second cigarette very fast, otherwise Wang An would be really worried that Feng Chengmin would get dizzy from smoking.

It must be said that when a smoker gets craving for a cigarette, his lung capacity is truly terrifying.

Wang An, Mu Xueli and Wang Li had not been smoking for a long time, so they did not feel too much about the addiction to smoking. They just held their cigarettes and smoked slowly.

After smoking, the four of them sat on the top of the mountain, chatting and keeping watch. It was not until about 5 o'clock that Feng Chengmin said to Wang An and the other two:
"Let's go home. The deer will definitely not come today. We have to come early tomorrow. I estimate that if the deer don't come tomorrow, they will come early the day after tomorrow."

After Feng Chengmin finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the meadow at the foot of the mountain. Wang An and the other two took another look at the meadow, then stood up and followed him.

When going up the mountain, the speed is relatively slow because we have to identify the direction and find a path that the horse can take at all times.

There are no such problems when going down the mountain, so the speed is much faster.

At about 6:, the sun had not yet set, and four people came out of the mountain.

However, Feng Chengmin and Mu Xueli did not go to Wang An's house, but chose to go home directly.

Of course, Wang An did not try to persuade them to stay, mainly because the two of them had just left home yesterday afternoon and had not returned home yet.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the next day.

Feng Chengmin, Wang An and three other people went into the mountain at around 5 o'clock in the morning, and did not come down the mountain and go home until around 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, the deer did not go to the saline-alkali land, so the four people spent the whole day in the mountains in vain.

Fortunately, although the beginning of autumn has passed and the autumnal equinox is approaching, the temperature is still okay. It is warm during the day and not cold at all.

So these four people are basically taking turns sleeping for a whole day.

On the third day, the four people were in basically the same state as the day before, except for smoking, chatting, and taking turns sleeping.

It should be said that Wang An found that the more he slept, the more sleepy he felt. The more he slept, the more sleepy he wanted to be. His mind became more and more confused. Until noon on the fourth day, Wang An and Feng Chengmin were suddenly woken up by Mu Xueli and Wang Li.

I only heard Mu Xueli say in an excited but low voice:
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, they are coming. The deer are coming."

Wang Li, who was standing next to him, also whispered to Feng Chengmin:

"Uncle, wake up! The deer are coming."

When Feng Chengmin and Wang An heard this, the sleepiness in their heads disappeared instantly, and they turned from lying down to lying down.

Wang An looked up at the saline-alkali land, raised his eyebrows, his eyes were instantly filled with surprise, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin, and even his heart began to beat faster.

From the time they heard the news about the deer herd, the four of them worked hard and waited for four days before they finally saw the dawn of victory.

The main thing is that the scene before my eyes is really too shocking.

I saw a very large sika deer walking in the front, followed by a group of doe with half-grown fawns.

There were also sika deer that kept coming out of the woods and walking in a line towards the saline-alkali land.

Several sika deer without their cubs were walking outside the group, probably to keep watch and conduct reconnaissance.

These deer kept looking around, and they could vaguely see them stretching their necks and neighing, but because of the distance, the four people could only hear intermittent sounds.

It can be seen that the sika deer are really alert. Almost all of them will stop and listen carefully every few steps, as if they are ready to escape at any time.

Only in this context can we understand why there is a saying that goes, "A deer may live a thousand years, but it worries at every step."

Although they knew that the deer would not be able to hear the sound at such a long distance, the four people still lay there motionless, observing and waiting quietly, and no one dared to make the slightest sound.

The main thing is that we have been busy for several days, just waiting for this moment. If we scare the deer away, all our efforts will be wasted.

Wang An also checked the number of sika deer. After the last deer walked out of the woods, Wang An discovered that there were a total of 41 deer, big and small, which was not the more than 30 as Li Xiuyu's elder brother said.

But there is an old saying that goes, "Monks do not covet money, the more the better."

When all the deer walked into the saline-alkali land and began to lick the salt impatiently, most of the sika deer lost their previous vigilance, and only those sika deer on guard would look around after licking a few times.

Soon, as the herd of sika deer continued to spread, some of them had already eaten the salt particles scattered by Wang An and his four companions.

Compared with the salt on the saline-alkali land, the salt particles spread by Wang An and his four companions are absolutely the essence.

What no one expected was that the sika deer that ate the salt particles did not stink at all and quickly called their companions over.

As the deer gathered, a sika deer was finally caught and stepped on the trap set by Wang An and his four men.

The struggle of the sika deer immediately caused a commotion among the herd of deer.
