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

Chapter 77 Wild Ducks in the Mountains
After that, it depends on how Dahuang performs when he encounters prey.

"Brother Weidong, where are we going now?"

Shi Tou had an excited look on his face. He followed Chen Weidong and asked.

"Let's go to Qiuzigou. I shot a wild boar there last time. Let's go take a look today."

Chen Weidong replied.

"I know. A few days ago, people in our village were saying that you, Brother Weidong, had shot a cannon ball."

"Brother Weidong, are we going to hunt wild boars again this time?"

Shi Tou said excitedly.

Chen Weidong smiled and said, "Shitou, you are thinking too well. Wild boars are not that easy to kill. Look at the hunters in the villages near us. How many of them have been killed by wild boars?"

"Hey, that's right!"

Shitou touched his head naively.

The two men walked forward while talking. The black tiger leading the way did not abandon Chen Weidong and run away. Instead, he stopped after running for a while and waited for Chen Weidong.

This is not because the trip is not far enough.

This is a truly good hunting dog. The long range refers to the distance it can track its prey when it finds it. A good hunting dog can cover a distance of more than ten miles.

When there is no prey, the hound will not be too far away from its owner.

Suddenly, the black tiger jumped out of the mountain road and ran towards a valley.

This is the discovery of prey.

After the black tiger rushed out of the mountain road, Dahuang followed closely behind.

"Brother Weidong, your black tiger has found prey!" Shitou shouted excitedly and was about to chase after it.

"Don't worry, the black tiger didn't make any noise, which means this prey is not big! It can handle it with just one dog, we just need to follow it."

Chen Weidong reminded.

Shitou nodded, and sure enough, after a while, the black tiger came back with a rabbit in its mouth.

"Brother Weidong, you are so right!"

Shitou said admiringly.

"Haha, you don't know when you just started hunting. You will know when you go up the mountain with your big yellow more times."

Then when the two men passed by the pine forest, some greyhounds appeared again, so Chen Weidong took the stones and shot five or six greyhounds in the pine forest before leaving.

Shitou was also busy. He wanted to go hunting in the mountains, skin greyhounds, and dig squirrel holes. These were all things he needed to do, so Chen Weidong asked him to do these odd jobs.

Then Chen Weidong walked towards the river while talking to Shitou.

Halfway through the journey, the black tiger in front suddenly started to howl, then rushed out to the left. Dahuang also imitated the black tiger's howl, then rushed out as well.

"Follow up! Watch your step!"

Chen Weidong called out, took off his slingshot, and ran quickly along the ridge.

"Yeah!" Shitou answered loudly from behind. Chen Weidong had already run a long way along the ridge.

After a while, Chen Weidong came in front of Heihu and Dahuang.

He looked in the direction of the two dogs.
Good guy!
I saw a dozen pheasants digging for food in front of me.

Fortunately, Da Huang didn't make a loud noise. It seems that Da Huang has learned well from Hei Hu. You know, when hunting dogs first enter the mountains, they will bark when they see prey, no matter how big or small! They may even chase...

But now, by following the black tiger, it has learned from the black tiger. After doing this many times, even if Dahuang goes up the mountain by itself and encounters such a situation, it will not bark or chase around, and it will also know to notify its owner.

"Brother Weidong, there are so many pheasants."

Shi Tou said excitedly.

"I saw it! Keep your voice down." Chen Weidong glanced at Shi Tou, and suddenly he looked at the gun in Shi Tou's hand and his eyes lit up.

The last time I encountered a flock of pheasants, I didn’t have this thing. This is simply a killer against this flock of pheasants!
When this shot is fired, the scattered iron sand can hit a piece.

"Shi Tou, give me your homemade gun. Do you have the gunpowder and iron sand?" Chen Weidong asked.

"Brother Weidong, I brought them all!"

Stone said immediately.

As he said that, Shitou gave the earth gun, gunpowder and iron sand to Chen Weidong.

Seeing this, Chen Weidong first took out the gunpowder and iron sand, then filled the gunpowder into the barrel, compacted it with an iron rod, and poured in the iron sand, and then aimed at the pheasants.

"boom!"

A gunshot sounded,
This shot killed or injured at least six or seven pheasants, and the sound of the gun was also a signal for the dogs to charge.

In an instant, Black Tiger rushed out with Da Huang.

There was an uninjured pheasant that wanted to fly, so the black tiger jumped and bit it down. The big yellow tiger followed suit and bit down an injured pheasant that wanted to fly.

Shitou also ran up excitedly at this time: "Brother Weidong, you shot a lot of pheasants with this shot!"

"Hurry up and clean them all up." With Shitou as a tool, Chen Weidong didn't have to do everything himself. He could just leave it to Shitou.

After collecting the pheasants, the two men searched along the river, but their luck seemed to have run out, and they continued to search without finding anything until they arrived at Qizigou.

When we arrived at Qizigou, the mountain wind became stronger and stronger as we walked deeper into the mountains, blowing through the forest, making waves of ghostly howling sounds that were somewhat creepy.

"Brother Weidong, the mountain wind is so strong!"

Shi Tou shrank his neck and muttered something.

Stepping on the stones, the two have arrived at the southernmost part of Qizigou. Looking ahead, there is a cliff not far away. Below the cliff, there is a small pond formed by a mountain spring water, and further ahead is a muddy pond.

"Shitou, I'll go make a fire. You go to the small pond in front and wash three pheasants and two greyhounds. We'll roast them later."

At this time, it had been four or five hours since the two entered the mountain. They were starving! The two dogs were also panting from exhaustion. Chen Weidong planned to fill his stomach first.

"okay!"

Shitou nodded, picked up the pheasant and the greyhound, and ran over quickly.

Chen Weidong found a suitable place and started to make a fire. The two dogs were responsible for guarding the side. However, just as the fire was lit, Chen Weidong looked up and suddenly saw Shitou running towards him in a hurry.

"what is wrong?"

"Brother Weidong, duck!"

"There's a duck in front of the mud candy!"

Stone shouted softly.

Then Chen Weidong followed Shitou to the Mud Candy. Following Shitou's finger, Chen Weidong also saw the duck that Shitou mentioned.

There are about a dozen ducks, in pairs, foraging leisurely on the muddy pond, and they interact intimately from time to time.

Fortunately, Chen Weidong has a wife, otherwise he would definitely scold me.

Shit! I went into the mountains to hunt, and was fed dog food by a wild duck.

Chen Weidong has good eyesight and can see the wild duck in front of him clearly at a glance.
Good guy, this duck is not simple.

In future generations, this duck will be worth more than five years and less than ten years.

If we kill all these dozen ducks, it will take at least ten years.

These wild ducks are the Chinese merganser, a first-class protected animal in later generations, and one of the wild birds in the Greater Khingan Range.

Although the Chinese merganser is a first-class protected animal in later generations, Chen Weidong will not show mercy.
