Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 15 Competition
This thickness of snow is just right for hunting, and after a night of snow, there are few places to find food on the ground.At this time, there will be a lot more pheasants and hares in the depths of the woods behind Zhang Tao's house.

Because the trees in this forest are relatively tall, there will be less snow under the forest, and the temperature here will be warmer. Those pheasants and hares will come out to look for food after they don’t eat enough food, and sometimes they can meet Muntjac and wild boar's.

Wild rabbits are actually active at night and rarely appear during the day, but if they do not eat enough food at night, they will come out during the day.

And if it moves at night, it will leave some traces in the snow, and then follow the traces to find the rabbit's nest, and then use smoke or something to scare the rabbit out of the nest, and it will be easy to catch.

The hare has short front legs and long rear legs. It is difficult to stabilize the center of gravity when running downhill, especially when it is snowing.As for Zhang Tao and his family, there are many hills and hills everywhere. In the past, they followed the adults to catch rabbits. The adults chased them with sticks while the children yelled.

Frighten those hares to run all over the hillside, and when they are tired from running, they will be easily caught or knocked down. It's hard to catch up.

Pheasants come out during the day, usually in groups, running across the snow to eat food, and clucking from time to time.And because of its yellow feathers, it is easier to recognize in the snow.

Muntjacs and wild boars are relatively rare, and you can occasionally see a few muntjacs and wild boars at this time.In a few years later, wild boars would no longer be seen at all, and until Zhang Tao was reborn, this kind of animal would become a herd again.

At that time, there were not many people in the countryside, and many lands and mountains were left uncultivated, and no one took care of them, so various animals were allowed to multiply rapidly.However, the muntjac runs too fast, and is very timid and vigilant. It is generally difficult to hit, but it is good to see it from a distance.

In fact, you can occasionally see tigers at this time. The tigers in southern Shonan belong to the South China tiger species.Zhang Tao remembers that when he was in preschool, he saw someone kill a tiger, and then carried it to all the surrounding villages to sell tiger meat and bones.

My memory at that time is rather hazy, and I don’t know whether the tiger was actually hunted by people around the village or sold elsewhere. It was quite big, and it looked a bit like a cat.

This should be the first time Zhang Tao saw a tiger. The next time he saw a tiger, he was at the zoo.But when Zhang Tao was reborn, some people in their hometown said they had seen wild tigers in the mountains around them, but Zhang Tao wasn't sure if it was true.

However, judging from the hordes of wild boars around it, it seems that it is not surprising that there are wild tigers again. After all, the surrounding mountains have not been taken care of for many years, and the camellias on the mountains have not been picked by anyone.

After Zhang Tao went up the mountain with a bow on his back, he plunged into the woods. Not far away, he saw Wang Zhongqiu holding an air gun and quietly advancing in the woods. Beside him was Wang Xiaofan and his father. .

Apparently, Wang Zhongqiu's father was not very worried about his son going hunting in the forest, because he had nothing to do during the winter vacation, so he went up the mountain with his son.

Compared with the three people here, Zhang Tao's strength here is weak, only Zhang Tao is alone, and he also brings a local dog.Seeing Zhang Tao in full armor, Wang Zhongqiu's father was a little surprised. He felt that the boy was so courageous that he dared to run up the mountain by himself without an adult.

Especially when he saw the bow on Zhang Tao's back, he was even more surprised.Zhang Tao's father was working outside, and his grandfather didn't know how to make these for children, so this bow and arrow was obviously not made by Zhang Tao's family.

If this bow was made by Zhang Tao, then this child is not simple, and adults are envious of this craft.Although he is still not sure how powerful the bow and arrow on Zhang Tao's back is, the workmanship does not look simple, and it does not look like something an ordinary child can make.

And Wang Zhongqiu obviously couldn't see the power of this bow. He felt that although the bow in Zhang Tao's hand looked pretty, how could such a rustic thing compare with the tall air gun in his hand? Woolen cloth.

So he looked at Zhang Tao with mocking eyes, and his words were insincere: "Zhang Tao, the bow in your hand looks so powerful, or let's compete together and see who can hit more prey when we go home. . . . ”

Before Wang Zhongqiu finished speaking, Zhang Tao stopped suddenly, and then took off the bow on his back and shot an arrow in the distance, interrupting Wang Zhongqiu's words abruptly.

Wang Zhongqiu turned his head suspiciously and looked towards the direction where Zhang Tao shot the arrow. The arrow shot a little fast and the distance was a little far, so Wang Zhongqiu saw that there seemed to be nothing there, only Zhang Tao's black dog ran forward quickly. .

It looks pretty good!Wang Zhongqiu glanced at the bow in Zhang Tao's hand with disdain, thinking secretly.Just when he was about to laugh at Zhang Tao again, the black panther over there had already run back with a hemp-brown pheasant in its mouth, and the arrow Zhang Tao just shot was piercing through the pheasant's head.

"..." Wang Zhongqiu didn't know how to express his feelings anymore, he walked carefully for a long time, and now he didn't even hit a single sparrow, it seems that the bullet either didn't hit far enough or missed Yes, he knew that he had just played with a gun, and it was normal that the alignment was a bit off.

But Zhang Tao took an earthen bow and arrow and beat him to a prey - a pheasant weighing two or three catties, which made Wang Zhongqiu feel dissatisfied all at once.

Apparently he felt that it was pure luck that Zhang Tao was able to shoot a pheasant. As for how far Zhang Tao’s arrow hit the pheasant just now, he had already ignored it. Go over there, and see who has more prey when you come back."

Zhang Tao smiled, not as knowledgeable as Wang Zhongqiu, hung the pheasant on his waist, and then walked towards the other side with the black panther, but Wang Fengsheng was particularly surprised by Zhang Tao's reaction.

He could estimate how far Zhang Tao shot the arrow just now. He didn't expect that a bow and arrow made by a child could shoot so far!I wanted to say something to Zhang Tao, but found that Zhang Tao had left.

There are not many people hunting in the mountains at Zhang Tao's house, only a few people have things like bird guns in their homes, but the lethality of those things is not strong, and it is not bad for shooting rabbits, but it is often caused by iron sand. Too much and beat the rabbit into a sieve.

And that thing is very loud and troublesome. The gunpowder can only be fired once last time, and it is easy to go off, so not many people use it.

If you encounter a wild boar or something, it is very dangerous, so the average hunter will turn around and leave when encountering a wild boar alone, especially the big wild boar.

If you want to go up the mountain to fight wild boars, you basically need dozens of people to fight together, and the bullets of the bird guns will be replaced with sharpened steel bars. The lethality of the steel bars is much stronger than that of iron sand, and the aiming rate is also high. of.Therefore, hunters here rarely use bird guns to hunt, and generally use more tricks.

Zhang Tao is also very careful when walking in the mountains and forests, especially when it is snowing, for fear that he will accidentally step on someone else's cover.It's better if it's a rabbit and a bird. If you encounter a big animal such as a wild boar, it's normal to ruin your feet.

The black panther walking in front was also called by Zhang Tao, and walked slowly ahead, not daring to let it go too far.

Maybe because this mountain forest is not far from the nearby village, they didn't encounter any traps in the vicinity. Instead, they hunted three pheasants and two hares.

This harvest was already very rich for Zhang Tao. He was not too greedy. After killing the last pheasant he saw, he turned around and walked home.At this time, he realized that he had turned over several hillsides unknowingly, and he had walked a little far.

On the way back, Zhang Tao didn't need to continue hunting, so he chose a road that was often traveled by people.This road is much safer than the one he took before, and he doesn't have to worry about stepping on clips or something.

At this moment, the black panther beside him suddenly stopped and looked vigilantly at the side of the road—there was some dry soil where potatoes and winter wheat were planted.

As soon as Zhang Tao saw the black panther like this, he immediately took off the bow on his back, took two arrows and put them in his hands, then looked in the direction the panther was staring at - there was nothing but dry land.On the contrary, there were humming sounds from the bushes near the dry land, and the sound of branches shaking, as if there was something big.

After calculating the distance between himself and that big guy, Zhang Tao stopped.The voice sounded a bit like that of a domestic pig, and Zhang Tao immediately knew that he must have encountered a wild boar, or the domestic pig in the middle of the mountain?

It's just that I don't know how big this wild boar is. If it is big, he will have to turn around and leave. He will not give his life for a wild boar.

But Wang Zhongqiu on the other side obviously didn't think much of it. He actually saw Zhang Tao when he appeared, but in order not to disturb his prey, he chose to remain silent and pointed his air gun at the place where the clump of leaves swayed. It must be a big prey, as long as this one can definitely beat all the prey on Zhang Tao.

Wang Zhongqiu did not gain much today, so he shot a few birds. A pheasant was hit but ran away because it was not lethal enough. dissatisfied.Especially when he saw the pheasants and hares on Zhang Tao's body, he was even more unconvinced.
