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

Chapter 1021: A Cold Sweat

After catching up with the herd of deer, Feng Chengmin instructed Wang An and the other two:

"Let's spread out a bit, and then drive the deer down the mountain together. It will be much easier if we can drive them home directly."

Wang An was startled when he heard this, and said with a shocked face:
"No, uncle, can this thing be done like this?"

It’s no wonder that Wang An was surprised. The main reason was that Wang An had never heard of this method of driving the prey directly back home after catching it.

Feng Chengmin said with a matter-of-fact expression on his face:

"What's wrong? It's not normal. The deer I killed before the New Year was driven quite far away. It couldn't move anymore. I couldn't even pull it away with a stick. I had no other choice but to kill it."

No wonder Feng Chengmin said before that when the deer’s passion has worn off, it will just stand there and be slaughtered. It turns out that Feng Chengmin has done this before!
It must be said that Feng Chengmin is really experienced and knows almost everything about hunting.

However, Wang An seized the loophole in Feng Chengmin's words and said:
"Uncle, didn't you say that the deer accidentally stepped on its foot when you were chasing it?"

Feng Chengmin said calmly:

"Well, after it steps on the catching foot, can't I just drive it for a distance?"

When Wang An heard this, his eyes widened and he was unable to continue.

Seeing Wang An didn't say anything, Feng Chengmin was amused and couldn't help but scolded with a smile:

"You little bastard, I've made you remember this little thing. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Wang An smiled awkwardly and said:

"No, I don't remember anything, and I don't have anything to say. I'm just asking out of curiosity, hahaha."

Wang An originally wanted to accuse Feng Chengmin of stealing other people's prey, but Feng Chengmin interrupted him, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.

In this way, the four men rode their horses, herding the deer like they were herding sheep, and walked back down the mountain. They even ate pancakes for lunch on horseback.

Deer are very easily frightened. If they are forcibly captured and tied up, they will definitely struggle violently.

However, their violent struggle will not only make people very tired, but also cause casualties themselves.

And methods like stabbing the meat with a blunt knife, or boiling the frog in warm water, are the only way to consume their temper and endurance.

Sure enough, after walking slowly for an hour and a half, the herd of deer finally stood there and refused to move no matter what Feng Chengmin said.

Even if Feng Chengmin, Wang An and other three whipped them with horse whips, they would neigh but would not move away. They acted as if they were ready to be killed or chopped up at their will.

However, in the eyes of Wang An and other three, this is just the shameless behavior of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

It’s as if they have seen the reality clearly and completely accepted their fate.

Wang An and Feng Chengmin walked up to the big male sika deer that had been leading the way, wanting to whip it to make it continue to lead the way.

Because it’s the same for any group of animals, as long as the leader is subdued, the entire group will basically be subdued.

To put it bluntly, if the leader deer stood up and walked away, the other deer would most likely follow suit. However, after being whipped, the male sika deer lay there, howling and wailing, and refused to stand up no matter what.

Fortunately, the four people and the herd of deer were already in the vicinity of the village, which is the area outside the mountains, and were not far from the village.

Feng Chengmin said to the three people with a helpless look on his face:
"Look, what did I say? These guys just lie here and refuse to move. What can you do?"

Wang An looked at the shackles on the deer's legs and wrists, and he really didn't know what to say to Feng Chengmin.

In this group of deer, each deer has at least two claws on its hooves, of course, the most is only three.

You should know that the main reason why the claw can stay on the deer's hoof is not the clamping force of the claw, but the short nails on the claw have been deeply embedded in the deer's hoof.

Under such circumstances, it is quite difficult for the deer to walk for more than an hour.

After a while, Feng Chengmin said to Wang An and Wang Li helplessly:

"There's no other solution. Anyway, we're not far from the mountain now. Why don't you two go back on horseback first, and then bring the tractor over. I don't think two tractors can pull the whole thing back."

Although there are no roads in the deep mountains, there are still roads in the mountains surrounding the village.

The reason why there are roads in the mountains surrounding the village is because people need to collect wood in the mountains surrounding the village, or carry some mountain products home.

Of course, such a road is not only difficult to walk on, but also not available everywhere. When the time comes, the sika deer will have to be led to the front of the car, or lifted onto the car.

Hearing Feng Chengmin say this, Wang An quickly said:
"That's OK. I'll ask my dad to drive one too. There are only 41 deer in total. Three tractors will definitely be able to pull them all back."

Feng Chengmin thought for a moment and said:

"I'm just going to take off these traps. These deer won't be able to move. How about calling your eldest brother, second brother and your uncle to help lift the deer onto the car? What do you say?"

Wang An nodded and said:

"Yeah, that's fine too. I'll see if they are all home. If they are, I'll call them all."

Wang An discovered that the herd of deer was more than 100 meters away from the nearest tractor-trail. Lifting all 41 deer onto the vehicle would be a monumental undertaking, and at this point, more people were needed.

As they were talking, Wang An and Wang Li jumped on their horses and rode straight home.

It must be said that the Oroqen horses are amazing at running on mountain roads. It took Wang An and Wang Li less than 20 minutes to reach the destination, which was less than ten miles.

However, when Wang An got home, Wang Dazhu and his wife were not at home, and his second brother Wang Shun was not at home either. They had all gone into the mountains to pick mushrooms or dig wild vegetables.

Fortunately, the second uncle Wang Daliang was at home, and the eldest uncle Wang Dashu, the eldest brother Wang Yong, and the third brother Wang Gan were all at home. After a simple greeting, the six of them drove two tractors and a four-wheel vehicle along the path into the mountains and drove all the way into the mountains.

To be honest, only four-wheeled vehicles and hand tractors can go on such mountain roads. Even if a large Jiefang vehicle comes in, it will be useless.

But even so, when the three cars arrived not far from the deer herd, the three drivers, Wang An, Wang Li and Wang Daliang, were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.

The main thing is that on this Jiba Mountain Road, if you are not careful, you may end up rolling down the mountain with your car.
