Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 278 Snow Flying

Sika deer are best at running. Their running speed in the mountains and forests is no slower than that of a car.

At this time, the sika deer hiding in various places on the hillside, looking for food with their heads down, began to gather in one direction under the encirclement of the crowd.

There are quite a lot of sika deer in this group, probably about thirty or forty of them.

Driven by the crowd, the herd of deer rushed towards the mountain pass as fast as a mudslide during a mountain torrent in summer.

At this time, Meng Lanjun's superb skiing skills also showed up.

Not only does he skate faster than others, but he can also skate effortlessly in places where others dare not skate.

Even on steep slopes, cliffs, and rocky ponds that others think are impossible to slide on, he can still turn left and right, jump and fly.

The deer ran fast, but Meng Lanjun glided even faster.

Qu Shaoyang was able to keep up at the beginning, all thanks to his experience skiing in his previous life.

However, when they reached some complex terrain, they could not keep up and were left behind by Meng Lanjun for a distance.

Qu Shaoyang watched Meng Lanjun gliding from behind and his heart was in his throat.

If this kid were to live in the future, with his skiing skills, he would probably have no problem winning a world championship or something.

"Ouch—hiss—" "Ouch—hiss—" The young deer chasers shouted even more loudly.

As they glided quickly, they made noises to respond to each other, reminding the people at Yamaguchi that the deer were approaching.

Zheng Qingshan and others who were guarding the mountain pass had already seen a herd of deer running towards them from a distance.

They hid behind trees or rocks with guns in hand, waiting to shoot when the deer approached.

However, an accident suddenly occurred.

Just as the herd of deer was about to approach the ambush of guns at the mountain pass, the leading male deer seemed to sense something was wrong and suddenly turned to the side.

The herd of deer behind it immediately followed and ran towards the diagonal hillside.

There is a cliff on the other side of the hillside. Generally speaking, deer would not run there, so Zheng Qingshan and his team did not ambush anyone there.

The deer chaser who was responsible for driving the deer from the side became anxious when he saw this.

But no matter how hard they slid, they could not get ahead and stop the deer from escaping.

It’s bad. If we let the deer climb over the side ridge, today’s hunt will fail again.

Zheng Tieniu and others were very anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

In a hurry, Meng Lanjun accelerated and passed by Wang Junshan, who was responsible for chasing the deer on this side, and slid to the edge of the cliff by turning left and right.

"Lan Jun, it's dangerous over there." Qu Shaoyang shouted from behind.

How could Meng Lanjun have time to answer at this moment? He rushed up the slope of the cliff like a gust of wind.

Then he leaped and flew, intercepting the herd of deer that were rushing towards him from the side.

That agile figure is just like a hawk flying through the forest, a purple swallow spreading its wings, graceful and swift, as fast as a meteor.

The young deer chasers cried out in surprise.

But Meng Lanjun's movements were still half a second slow.

The herd of sika deer, led by the leader, had already deviated from the bottom of the ditch and was running wildly towards the hillside on the other side of the sniper line.

The snow on the hillside was splashed up by the deer's hooves, creating a layer of silvery-white snow mist.

Zheng Qingshan and others stood at the mountain pass, looking at the deer that changed their route and felt very annoyed. This was the second time they had been blocked in recent times.

Of course, this situation is very normal for deer hunters. After entering the mountains, any unexpected situation may occur.

Now, it is too late to set up another formation to block the attack.

Everyone could only helplessly watch the deer escape the encirclement, and at the same time, they were worried about Meng Lanjun who was desperately sliding. Meng Lanjun obviously didn't want to give up, so he gritted his teeth, jumped over the rock pond, jumped over the two-meter-wide ravine, and then flew to the opposite hillside.

"Fuck, this kid is such a freaking bastard." Qu Shaoyang couldn't help but swore.

"Lanjun, come back quickly, it's dangerous." Qu Shaoyang leaped to the edge of the cliff and shouted at Meng Lanjun.

Just as Qu Shaoyang shouted, a gunshot rang out.

The speeding deer was suddenly hit by a bullet, jumped high into the air, and then fell heavily down.

How could he shoot while gliding at high speed? And actually hit the target?

Qu Shaoyang was stunned, Zheng Qingshan and others were also stunned, and the group of running deer were also stunned.

The leader of the deer died, and the herd was leaderless, and immediately fell into chaos.

Meng Lanjun leaped back in time and cooperated with Qu Shaoyang and the others, using snow poles to drive away the deer and ran back to the mountain pass.

"What are you waiting for? Shoot." Qu Shaoyang shouted when he saw Zheng Qingshan and others below were still in a daze.

At this time, Zheng Qingshan and others also reacted and started shooting with their guns.

Only a few gunshots were heard, and the male deer in front fell down, while the deer behind rushed out along the mountain pass.

Zheng Qingshan and his men were all using old-fashioned muskets. After firing a shot, they had to reload gunpowder and bullets, and there was no time to fire a second time.

Fortunately, the harvest this time was good. Including the deer hunted by Meng Lanjun, a total of four deer were caught.

Everyone cheered and praised Meng Lanjun's skiing skills. "This is the real flying on snow. It's amazing."

"What a unique skill! It's amazing."

Qu Shaoyang also gave Meng Lanjun a thumbs up. Such skills were hard to deny. Qu Shaoyang admitted that he did not have such ability.

Yes, he started skiing at the age of five, which is more than ten years of hard work. How can ordinary people compare to him?

Meng Lanjun smiled at Qu Shaoyang and said, "You are not bad either.

I've never seen anyone ski so well on their first try. Is this really your first time skiing?"

Qu Shaoyang nodded, "Yeah, it's my first time skiing into the mountains to hunt, it feels really exciting."

Indeed, that was called entertainment before, but today he finally saw what speed and passion are, it was really exciting.

"Come, follow me." Meng Lanjun waved to Qu Shaoyang, turned around and slid towards the place where the deer died.

Qu Shaoyang didn't know what Meng Lanjun was going to do, so he slid behind him.

"Quick, drink the deer blood while it's hot, it's a great tonic.

When I went hunting with my grandfather in the mountains, he forced me to drink it, saying that drinking it would invigorate blood and strengthen the body. "

The two stopped beside the dead deer. Meng Lanjun pointed at the wound on the deer's neck and said to Qu Shaoyang.

Qu Shaoyang was stunned when he heard this. No way? Just drink it raw like this? Shouldn't this thing be deer blood mixed with wine?
"What are you still standing there for? Drink it quickly, or you'll bleed out soon."

Seeing Qu Shaoyang standing there motionless, Meng Lanjun stamped his feet anxiously and kept urging him.

"This is the best thing. Even the emperor drinks deer blood. Why do you still dislike it?"

Qu Shaoyang had hunted deer before, but he had never drunk deer blood like this, so he was instinctively hesitant.

But Meng Lanjun kept urging them, and looking back at the other side, he saw Zheng Qingshan, Wang Chun and others lying on the wound of the sika deer, sucking the blood.

Qu Shaoyang hardened his heart, bent down, leaned over the deer's wound, and sucked a big mouthful of blood.

The fresh deer blood was hot, fishy and smelly. Qu Shaoyang could only hold his breath and swallow the deer blood in his mouth.
