Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 683 Old Friend
The gunshot was an order; the group that was walking back immediately put down their prey and took the guns off their shoulders, ready to fight.
Number Two frowned slightly and listened for half a second before saying with certainty, "The sound of the AK-47 gunfire is coming from the other side of the cliff, at least two to three kilometers away from us!"
"AK-47 gunshots? Are you sure?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Feng immediately frowned.
At this point in time in China, ordinary hunters going up the mountain have no access to fully automatic weapons of mass destruction like the AK-47.
Ordinary hunters usually use shotguns modified with a barrel attachment for single-shot firing. If they can even get a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, they're considered pretty good.
As for the AK47, even Wu Keji's ginseng gang didn't have one before. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to give the guns they seized from those Russian poachers last time.
"Are you sure it was an AK-47? And not some other gunshot?" Yue Feng asked, frowning.
"Definitely! The sound of an AK gun is easy to distinguish; it has distinct characteristics compared to other gunshots!" Number Two said decisively.
"How far is this place from the Russian border?" Yue Feng continued to ask.
Upon hearing Yue Feng's question, Number Two's expression changed: "You mean, you suspect that the other side might be Russian poachers?"
The nearest border line is less than 100 kilometers from here!
Yue Feng beckoned to Xiao Tao, who then handed him the AK47.
Yue Feng, holding the gun, said, "This gun is an original AK47, a Russian product!"
We seized these last winter after a fierce battle with Russian poachers illegally crossing the border!
This thing is not in service in our country, and there are basically no channels for it to enter the civilian market. It is most likely a tool used by poachers in Russia!
If it really is the Russians, then our plans will have to be changed.
Their appearance at Xuanyanglazi is definitely not a good sign!
Number Two glanced at the AK47 in Yue Feng's hand and said, "How about tonight, Number Three and I sneak over to the other side and scout things out?"
Upon hearing this suggestion, Yue Feng shook his head without hesitation: "No way! Our target here is the Sheep, not the Russians!"
Even if the other side is the Russians, as long as we are wary, there is no need to provoke them!
Even if you want to go over and check out the situation, try to wait until you come back on the 1st!
In the meantime, let's explore the surrounding terrain first!
"Okay, I'll do as you say! Actually, if they haven't spotted us, it shouldn't be too difficult to sneak over! I'm quite confident!"
We should continue to try to get number two.
Yue Feng glanced at Number Two: "It shouldn't be too difficult to get there. Do you know the shortest way to get there?"
You can't possibly climb straight down such a high cliff, can you?
Taking a detour would greatly increase the time required; by the time you get there and find them, it might be almost dawn!
Listen to me, let's stay quiet for now and talk about it when Number One comes back!
"All right!"
"Let's head back. Everyone's been busy all day. Let's get back and clean up the roe deer, and have a good meal tonight!"
"Yes!"
……
After careful consideration, Yue Feng realized that since the other side had fired openly, while Yue Feng and his team had kept their guns hidden throughout, as long as they remained vigilant, they didn't need to worry too much about being discovered.
As for what the other side is doing on the other side, whether it's poaching or something else, it doesn't really affect Yue Feng and his group right now.
Even if they poached the ram and shot it, they wouldn't get its blood, so it wouldn't have any practical significance.
From a logical standpoint, those poachers are unlikely to be that foolish. It's more probable they encountered wild animals and shot them for meat.
As long as Yue Feng and his team manage the gunfire effectively and prevent the enemy from discovering the hunting party's presence, they can remain invincible.
The group carried the three roe deer back to the camp.
First, go to a mountain spring not far from the camp and give the dead roe deer a simple treatment.
The roe deer's heart, liver, and other internal organs were given to the dog and the two falcons.
The fresh lean meat was washed, chopped into pieces, and stuffed into the field stove.
A fire was lit under the smokeless stove, and soon the water in the field stove began to steam. In no more than an hour or two, the brothers would be able to enjoy a delicious roe deer meat.
After returning to his tent, Yue Feng didn't rest. He took out a hard-sided notebook from his bag and used a pencil to draw a relatively detailed topographic map of the area he had searched that day.
On the map, the contours of the surrounding cliffs, the topographical features of the surrounding forests, and the locations of representative landmarks are all clearly marked.
As dusk approached, the roe deer meat in the pot was ready. The group gathered around, shared the meat, and after filling their stomachs, took turns resting early.
That night, Yue Feng and the others didn't sleep well.
Around 1 a.m., more than a dozen gunshots rang out intermittently.
Upon hearing the gunshot, the soldier on night duty woke everyone up. After listening to the analysis from the third soldier, Yue Feng was a little unsure about his decision for the evening.
Number Three: "There must have been a gunfight on the other side of the cliff! Besides the sound of AK47 bursts, there was also the sound of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles!"
"How can you be sure it's a gunfight?" Yue Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked with a frown.
Number Three said, "It feels like the rhythm of firing a gun is different when shooting and when hunting!"
On the AK side, the firepower is obviously stronger, the short bursts are very obvious, the position of the 56 is different, and it is obviously suppressed!
Judging from the gunshots, there were at least two or three AK-47s, while there was only one Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, at most two!
"Tomorrow at daybreak, Number Two and Number Three, you two sneak over and check out the situation! Number Four and Number Five, continue to come with us to search the surrounding terrain and environment!"
"So, are you going to let the two of us go now?"
Yue Feng sighed: "If we can save them, we must! But we must ensure our own safety! As for whether they have the chance, that's up to fate!"
"Alright! Let's take a detour and sneak over there to see who this guy is!" Number Two and Number Three were clearly delighted when Yue Feng agreed.
All five of them were handpicked elite soldiers.
Upon arrival, the primary task was to ensure the safety of Yue Feng and his brother.
There are suspected Russian poachers right across the cliff. It's not their style to hide and not deal with them.
After all, elite soldiers have their pride; in their eyes, ordinary soldiers are nothing more than chickens and dogs.
For the rest of the night, Yue Feng couldn't sleep well. When he closed his eyes, all he could see in his mind was the image of hunters on the mountain being ambushed and covered in blood.
The injured person in the dream seemed familiar to Yue Feng, but he couldn't recall their name.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Number Two and Number Three were fully armed and ready. Both of them carried Type 81 rifles, each with three extra magazines, and only a small amount of dry rations and water bottles. After saying goodbye to Yue Feng, they left the camp.
Now, the camp that originally had seven people has become four: Yue Feng, Xiao Tao, and Number Four and Number Five.
There was no need for the four of them to split up and explore anymore, so they simply set off together and continued moving along the areas they hadn't searched yesterday.
As Yue Feng and his team searched northward along the cliff, they discovered more and more traces of animal activity.
At 3 p.m., Yue Feng found a pile of somewhat suspicious poop near the edge of the cliff.
These droppings are quite different from goat droppings; they are noticeably larger, with a smooth surface. Judging from their texture and moisture content, they should be about three or four days old.
Yue Feng had seen the droppings of roe deer, musk deer, or other animals and could recognize them at a glance, but he couldn't identify what this pile of poop was.
"Brother Feng, is it possible that this pile of poop was left by that hanging sheep?"
Xiao Tao squatted down and looked at them for a long time, even picking up a few and examining them closely in his palm.
Yue Feng shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say, it's possible!"
This goat must have its own territory. If this dung was left by it, we should be able to find other traces by looking around!
"Let's go, let's take another look!" Xiao Tao immediately got up and casually threw away the excrement.
The group continued to circle north. The moss and weeds on the cliff edge showed obvious signs of being eaten, and on the narrow, steep cliff edge, there were faint traces of what looked like animal trampling.
"Number Four, tie a safety rope under this big rock, could you go down and take a look?"
Yue Feng pointed to the visible marks and asked.
Number Four didn't rush to give an answer, but instead looked down and carefully observed for a few moments: "You can go down, no problem!"
"Xiao Tao, tie the rope and let Number Four go down and take a look! Focus on the weeds and moss around the cracks in the rocks, and it would be best if we could see footprints or something, then we'll know what's going on!"
Upon hearing the call, Xiao Tao immediately took out the rope he carried with him from his backpack.
Number Four didn't hesitate either. He tied the rope around his waist and made a knot, then, like a nimble monkey, he used both his hands and feet to climb down with great agility.
Then they saw Number Four arrive at the vicinity of Yue Feng's suspicions, carefully observe the area, and then climb back up the same way.
The whole process took less than twenty minutes. After coming up, Number Four didn't even have to catch his breath.
"How's it going?"
Number Four pulled a few dung balls out of his pocket: "There are traces of repeated trampling underneath, and the short grass in the cracks between the rocks has been gnawed down to its roots! I also found a few dung balls! I didn't find any footprints or anything!"
Yue Feng glanced at the dung ball that Adventurer Number Four had picked up. It was similar to the dung he had found before, but the surface was slightly whitish and, judging from the moisture content, it was older, at least ten days ago.
Yue Feng took a deep breath: "I suspect this feces should be left by the roe deer! The rocks are so steep, ordinary roe deer or deer would definitely not move around in this kind of terrain!"
The only creature that could roam here is the roe deer, but its droppings don't match!
"So what do we do, Brother Feng?" Xiao Tao continued to ask.
Yue Feng: "There are no fresh traces around, which means it may have been gone for some time! Let's keep this place as a backup location and continue searching tomorrow!"
It's getting late, let's head back. I wonder how numbers two and three are doing, and if we've made any new discoveries on the other side!
Number Four dusted off his hands: "I think we should move our campsite! Otherwise, we'll waste a lot of time traveling back and forth!"
Yue Feng nodded: "If Number Two and Number Three can come back today, we'll move to a different place tomorrow! Let's mark the spot so Number One can find us, right?"
"no problem!"
"Back!"
……
At Yue Feng's command, the four men turned back again.
Today was better than yesterday; at least suspicious traces and feces were found. On the way back, Yue Feng silently began to analyze the situation.
The terrain and mountains I passed along the way flashed through my mind like a movie, and slowly the missing terrain information was pieced together in my mind.
By the time they returned to their camp, it was getting dark.
Numbers 4 and 5 started a fire to cook, and Yue Feng added and improved many things to today's topographic map.
The four people in the camp finished eating, leaving some food in the pot to wait for Number Two and Number Three to return.
Number Two and Number Three each returned carrying someone on their backs.
"Boss, we've rescued the person!" Number Two was covered in sweat, his clothes soaked through.
Yue Feng hurriedly got up to examine the person he had carried back.
When Yue Feng saw the person's face clearly, his heart skipped a beat.
"Xiao Wu! What are you doing on the mountain? What happened?"
The young man, who had been carried back, raised his head with some difficulty: "Brother Feng?"
Yue Feng hurriedly called out, "Quickly, lay him down flat. Is he injured? Treat his injuries with the first-aid kit we brought!"
"They're both fine, just some minor cuts and bruises!" Number Two said.
Yue Feng leaned closer to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, who led you up the mountain? Where is my Uncle Wu?"
Xiao Wu is Grandpa Wu's apprentice and has had several dealings with Yue Feng. Since he is Grandpa Wu's man, he is also Yue Feng's friend, and there is no need to question his loyalty.
Xiao Wu said weakly, "My master is recuperating in his hometown. He was just recovering from his injuries before the New Year when he was shot again. He's currently being kept alive by an old ginseng root."
The old doctor I consulted said that unless I could get my hands on the legendary "suspended sheep blood," I probably wouldn't survive!
We asked many friends for information about the stag goat, and we heard that there might be stag goats around here, so we brought people here!
As a result, after wandering around here for several days, I still couldn't find any trace of the hanging sheep.
Yesterday we ran into a group of Russians in the woods and were ambushed at night. Luckily, the details my mentor taught us saved our lives! Most of our weapons and equipment were stolen!
Upon hearing this, Yue Feng's heart sank: "Didn't my uncle just recover from his injuries? How did he get shot again?"
Xiao Wu shook his head, his face pale: "It's hard to explain in a few words. There are still some loose ends from the gang's affairs that haven't been handled properly. One of the elders has turned against us!"
Yue Feng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Number Two, Number Three, have you found the Russians?"
Number Two: "No, these two young men had low blood sugar and were dehydrated. We were afraid something would happen to them, so we carried them back. We didn't find the Russian's location!"
Yue Feng nodded after listening and continued, "Xiao Wu, how many people attacked you? Did they have any obvious characteristics? Were they from Black Fang?" (End of Chapter)
