Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 44: Flying Dragon (Seeking follow-up reading tomorrow)
Then Chen Weidong and his dog strolled in the forest.

This time, Chen Weidong did not stay in the pine forest for too long. After killing a gray dog ​​that came to his door with a slingshot, he went straight to the small valley.

Along the way, Chen Weidong discovered that the dog Heihu was very well behaved at home, allowing the little guy to ride on it, but once it entered the mountains, it became unusually active, sniffing here and there along the way, and was full of energy.

As soon as they arrived at the small valley, Chen Weidong untied the dog leash from Heihu's neck. Through observation over the past few days, he found that old dogs like Heihu are indeed very smart and will not run around or bite randomly. Therefore, Heihu was not tied to a leash at home for the past two days.

At this moment, seeing Heihu so excited, and hearing the middle-aged man who sold Heihu say that this dog is very good at chasing rabbits.

Chen Weidong was just about to test whether it was real or not. Secondly, the purpose of bringing Black Tiger to the mountain this time was to get the Black Tiger acquainted with him. After all, it was his first time to bring Black Tiger into the mountains to hunt.

Chen Weidong had been to this small valley last time and found that there were often some rabbits hiding in the bushes here. However, since the rabbit holes were interconnected, it was very difficult to catch them.

That’s great, let Black Tiger give it a try.

As soon as Chen Weidong untied the leash of Black Tiger, it rushed down the valley like a wild horse.

The bushes at the bottom of the valley were the easiest place to hide rabbits. As soon as the black tiger arrived at the bottom of the valley, it stopped and began to sniff the ground.

Suddenly, the black tiger seemed to have discovered something and walked straight towards the bushes on the right. The black tiger seemed to understand that its own endurance was not enough, so it suddenly rushed in when it was almost at the bushes.

Suddenly, two or three rabbits were frightened and jumped out from the bushes. The black tiger spotted one of them and immediately pounced on it and bit it.

Quick and accurate!
Chen Weidong didn't expect that the black tiger's endurance was poor, but his sudden burst of speed was not weak at all.

Chen Weidong couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. No wonder the middle-aged man said that the black tiger chasing the rabbit was an amazing feat!
It seemed to be an old dog that often hunted rabbits in the mountains.

He is experienced and quick in sudden attacks. If he had no experience and just rushed over suddenly, the rabbit would have run away long ago!
"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

The black tiger held the wild rabbit in its mouth and quickly ran over to put it in front of Chen Weidong.

Then he sat cross-legged and looked at him.

It is indeed a smart dog! It knows to hand the prey over to its owner.

Chen Weidong touched Heihu's head with joy, and Heihu whimpered twice in response.

Then, Chen Weidong also joined in. Black Tiger was responsible for chasing the rabbits while Chen Weidong was responsible for shooting.

After a while, the man and the dog caught three more wild rabbits.

The rabbits in autumn are fat and big.

The four rabbits weighed about 16 or 17 kilograms, which made Chen Weidong very happy.

As expected, hunting dogs were needed. More rabbits were caught this time than in all the previous days combined.

But after catching rabbits for a while, the whole valley became quiet and most of the wild rabbits ran into their holes.

Seeing this, Chen Weidong did not stay for long. He led the dog over the small valley and did not go to the place where he had found Xiong Cangzi before. Instead, he walked towards the nearest hill in the south.

Chen Weidong led the black tiger into the mountains and forests, and soon shot another pheasant.

Then a man and a dog circled on the hill. Suddenly, the black tiger barked at Chen Weidong twice. Chen Weidong knew that the black tiger had found prey again, so he loosened the dog leash, and then the black tiger immediately ran out of the mountain road and ran down the hillside.

Chen Weidong also ran quickly along the ridge. In the mountains, in terrain like this, don't think of taking a shortcut by going down the slope like a dog. That might be more troublesome and bring many unknown dangers.

The best and most labor-saving way is to run along the ridge, and then go down the slope when you reach the destination.

After a while, Chen Weidong came to the black tiger. At this time, Chen Weidong also saw the situation in front.

Good guy!
There were actually four or five flying dragons, lying on the branches of a bush not far away.

Feilong is a good thing! Although it looks like a pheasant, it is much more expensive than a pheasant!

The flying dragon is actually a hazel grouse. Because they feed on seeds and young chickens on trees, they are also called tree chickens in Northeast China. They are not big, about half the size of ordinary chickens, but their meat is tender and very famous. The so-called dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground, dragon meat refers to the flying dragon.

The black tiger was also very smart and knew that he could not catch these flying dragons, so he did not make any sound, but waited for Chen Weidong to arrive.

You should know that flying dragons are very alert. Usually hunters will shoot when they see a flying dragon, because flying dragons will fly away when they see people. Foreign cannons can only shoot once, and the second shot will be at trees.

When hunting flying dragons, hunters usually use special whistles to lure them out.
Chen Weidong approached cautiously, chose a good position to ensure the range of the bullet's power, gently pulled the slingshot, and aimed at the nearest one.

Snapped……

With a slight sound, the bullet flew out and accurately hit the flying dragon that was lying vigilantly on a small branch in the bushes.

As expected, the first shot hit the target. Upon seeing this, the other flying dragons also flew away with a thump. Seeing this, Chen Weidong had no other options.
The flying dragon he shot was caught by the black tiger before Chen Weidong could pick it up.

"What a good dog with good eyesight!" Chen Weidong couldn't help but sigh.

Then, they continued to hunt. After more than an hour, they did not encounter any prey.
However, not long after Chen Weidong led Black Tiger into the top of the hill, Black Tiger suddenly stopped, and its right front foot, which was raised to step forward, suddenly remained suspended in the air, and it turned its head to look to the left front.

As soon as Chen Weidong saw the black tiger, he knew he had found prey again. It has to be said that there is a difference between having hunting dogs and not having hunting dogs. Before, Chen Weidong was searching aimlessly in the mountains alone, and encountering animals was all thanks to luck.

Seeing this, Chen Weidong immediately stopped and looked in the direction where Heihu was looking.

"call……"

The black tiger let out a soft cry.

The sound was not loud. Chen Weidong took out the gun from his shoulder, looked at it carefully, and walked over slowly.

After walking for about thirty or forty meters, Chen Weidong suddenly heard a noise coming from the front. It was the sound of a bird flapping its wings.

Approaching about twenty meters further, he saw a few scattered stones among the slightly sparse trees ahead, and a bush swaying slightly among them.

It was a weasel biting the neck of a pheasant that was stuck in the bushes and occasionally flapping its wings, and was dragging it out with all its strength.

This was the first time Chen Weidong had seen such a big yellow fox! You should know that an adult yellow fox usually weighs about one to two kilograms.
However, this weasel is very large, weighing about six or seven kilograms, and can probably only be found in deep mountains and forests like the Greater Khingan Range.
