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

Chapter 54: Cannon Eggs

And now, the gunshots have already explained everything. There is prey, and it is not small. At least the other party may not be able to deal with it alone!

This gave Chen Weidong a good opportunity to pick up a bargain. You know, the beast might still be attracted by the hunter.

If he just moved closer, pretending to be the sixth, and saw the right opportunity, he might be shot dead.
As for the hunter with a gun, Chen Weidong didn't care much. In the mountains, people make a living by their own ability. Whoever kills the animal gets it.

And maybe the other party would even thank him, of course the premise is that the hunter is still alive before Chen Weidong arrives.

"Black Tiger, go!"

Chen Weidong led Hei Hu and ran towards the direction of the gunshot. As he moved forward,
Another shot was fired,
But then, the gunshots stopped completely. Chen Weidong thought he had made a wasted trip when suddenly a shout rang out.

"Will~"

"Will~"

This is the cry of a wild boar. It seems that we have encountered a large adult wild boar! Although the sound seems very close,
But anyone who has been to the mountains knows that although sounds sound close in the mountains, they are not close at all when you really try to get there.

There was a small hill in front of him, and Chen Weidong quickly climbed towards the ridge. In this mountain, walking along the ridge was less labor-intensive and faster than walking across the forest.

Chen Weidong guessed that the wild boar was probably in the ravine in front of the hill, which the locals called Qizigou. There were some walnut trees growing there.

This tree will bear fruit when it reaches a certain age, and the fruit is the famous hickory nuts in Northeast China.

In autumn and winter, hickory nuts fall from the trees, among the rotten leaves and dead branches.

However, precisely because of hickory nuts, herds of wild boars often come there to forage for food. In fact, there were many wild boars in Qizigou in the early years, but they have become less numerous in recent years.

Chen Weidong remembered that when the production team was not disbanded, several nearby villages often organized people to go to Qizigou to hunt wild boars. Some experienced mountain hunters especially liked to go there to set up wire rope snares.

Of course, in the past, when mountain herders set snares, they mainly targeted yellow-haired pigs or sows.

The most delicious wild boar meat is yellow-haired pork, followed by sow pork. The meat from wild boars, which weigh hundreds of pounds and have been aged for a few years, is different. Not only is the meat tough, but it is also extremely fishy.

Meat and oil are in short supply these days, so there aren't many choices. Otherwise, not many people would be willing to eat it. Of course, this is only for the villagers who lack seasonings and are reluctant to use oil.

After all, wild boar meat is also meat. If you catch it and sell it in a state-owned restaurant, you can make a lot of money.

However, the cannon eggs are an existence that even the old hunters are unwilling to face easily, especially the enraged cannon eggs, which are extremely manic and ferocious.

And now, listening to the wild boar's cry, Chen Weidong estimated that it was most likely a cannon ball.

If he were to encounter a cannon ball head-on, Chen Weidong would have no choice but to run away with the Hanyang rifle and the Black Tiger in his hands.

If it was a sneak attack, it would be different. If it was a wild boar with low health, it would be even better!
Chen Weidong hurried along the way, but he also deliberately adjusted his breathing, trying his best to maintain a specific rhythm.

If your breathing is disordered, the blood and qi circulation in your body will also be disordered.

Just like running, breathing adjustment is important.

When traveling, you can't rush, the most important thing is to maintain a certain speed and last for a long time. You know, when you are out of breath, your reaction and strength are the worst.

He considered that he might be facing wild boars this time, which ran like tanks and could easily kill him. He couldn't lose his physical balance when he got there, and instead of hunting the wild boars, he would become a food delivery boy.

After hurrying all the way for almost half an hour, Chen Weidong chose to walk towards the ridge. About two hundred meters deep, Heihu made a sound.

Looking at the direction that Hei Hu was facing, Chen Weidong took the gun on his back, turned on the safety, and quickly moved along the hillside towards the ravine.

Chen Weidong went three or four hundred meters deep and heard a man shouting from afar!
It is obvious that this hunter is still alive. In fact, it has been so long since the gunshots. It would be difficult for a hunter to still be alive if he encountered a cannon egg.

Chen Weidong patted Heihu lightly, gave an order, and then put his gun to his face. The man and the dog slowly moved inside.

At this time, the benefits of the black tiger's spirituality were revealed. Under Chen Weidong's command, the black tiger did not bark! If it barked as soon as it found the trace of prey, it would definitely alarm the prey in the first place.

At this time, Pao Luanzi, who was full of anger, might become very alert immediately when he heard the dog barking, so that when he saw Chen Weidong, he immediately rushed over to attack.

If I don't make any sound, I can get closer and have a chance to aim well.

If you can hit the vital point with one shot, things will be simple.

He slowly descended to a place near the ravine, and Chen Weidong saw the situation over there from a distance.

A middle-aged man climbed up a walnut tree as thick as a bucket, holding the trunk tightly with both hands and standing on a branch more than two meters above the ground. No one knew where the gun in his hand was!

Under the tree, a wild boar with fangs at least 30 centimeters long was frantically digging up the soil and tearing at the tree roots. Most of its body was blocked by the deep pit it had dug out, and only its head could be seen from time to time when it raised its head or tore frantically.

The wild boars in Northeast China are different from those in other regions. Some wild boars in mountainous areas eat potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.

It is no exaggeration to say that the wild boars in the deep mountains of Northeast China will eat people.

In the mountains, there are many coyotes, tigers, leopards, black bears, wild boars, poisonous bees, and pheasant necks. These things are not to be trifled with. If you touch them, you will draw blood and even lose your life!

So, it is not really romantic for hunters to hunt in the mountains.

Which wild animal in the old forest is the most dangerous? Old hunters have said: one is the pig, two is the bear, and three is the tiger. The pig here refers to the wild boar.

Of course, it does not mean that wild boars are more dangerous than bears and tigers. The reason why people put wild boars in the first place is that
In addition to the fact that wild boars themselves are very destructive and often destroy crops,

It is mainly because there are so many wild boars that they are easy to be encountered. Even some experienced hunters usually fall into the hands of wild boars.

Moreover, the wild boars in Northeast China like to rub their itch on the bark of old pine trees. With a grunting and rustling sound, the rubbing can make the old pine trees shake wildly.

The bark of old pine trees is covered with a layer of resin. When wild boars scratch themselves, the resin sticks to their skin.

After scratching themselves, wild boars will roll around on the ground, sticking gravel, leaves, pine cone shells and other things on their bodies. Over time, it looks like they are wearing a thick layer of armor that the muskets used by old hunters cannot penetrate.

It is precisely because of this that wild boars dare to fight tigers and bears. This is also the reason why hunters using old foreign cannons dare not face them easily.
