Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 434 Acting Alone
The other three people named by Wang Jianguo are all veterans who hold positions in the militia. They have strong marksmanship and psychological qualities, and have good organizational skills.
It is reasonable to have them take the lead in organizing a new hunting team.
Below, there was soon a lot of noise.
If you join a new hunting team, you will have a chance to share the bounty. If you serve as a peripheral driver, at most you can get some wild boar meat or something.
Everyone can figure out this kind of account, so once the personnel are confirmed, they will immediately gather around the captains who have been named.
The four Yue Feng brothers were quite calm. Currently, the four brothers of Yue Feng hunting team have two 56 rifles and two No. 16 rifles (Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen’s hunting rifles can be borrowed). In addition, they have eight hunting dogs and two falcons.
Let alone Xing’an Village, looking at the entire area around Fengcheng, the configuration of the Yuefeng Hunting Team is top-notch.
Xiao Tao beside him nudged Yue Feng and whispered, “Brother, which direction should our hunting team go tomorrow? Should we move with the main force?”
Yue Feng still feels scared when thinking about the incident when Qiao Saner was shot secretly.
Guns are both good and bad things.
It is just the beginning of autumn now. The grass and trees have grown wildly in the spring and summer, and the temperature has not dropped yet and the leaves have rustled. The vegetation is lush and visibility is low, so it is not a good choice to follow the large group.
If someone is unlucky and is shot like an animal by a half-baked person with poor psychological quality, there will be no place to complain.
Yue Feng shook his head: “We have more people, more guns and more dogs, we won’t compete with them!
When the team is finished, I will talk to my uncle and we will go into the mountain from the west gate and stroll towards Ergunianggou!”
“Brother Feng is right! I heard from Mingchen’s sister-in-law that many of the animals coming down the mountain this year are large wild boars with at least a dozen heads. Let’s act alone!” Xiaowen also echoed.
While the brothers were whispering to each other in private, the temporary team had been basically formed. Except for a few villagers whose personnel were relatively weaker, the main force had basically been set up.
Next, Wang Jianguo distributed bullets and firearms on the spot, and carefully reminded the people going up the mountain of the precautions they needed to take, such as preventing snakes and hornets. All personnel dispersed on the spot, and Operation Autumn Wind officially began tomorrow morning.
The people who received the guns and bullets dispersed in twos and threes, but Yue Feng and his companions did not leave.
When most people had left, Yue Feng walked up to Wang Jianguo.
“Uncle, let’s discuss this and decide to go to Ergunianggou! That area is also within the radiation range of the mountain behind our village. I heard that there are large groups of wild boars active there!”
“Learn to lead the team on your own? Not with the main force?” Wang Jianguo asked calmly after hearing his son-in-law’s words.
“Well, our hunting team has people, dogs and eagles, so it’s easier to achieve good results if we go it alone! I can’t embarrass you!” Yue Feng said with bared teeth.
“Okay, but be careful when going up the mountain! This season is not winter, the forest is deep and the grass is thick, so be extra careful!” Wang Jianguo nodded happily in agreement.
While they were muttering quietly, Zhang Junhong walked over with a cigarette in his mouth.
“Xiao Feng, does your hunting team have a plan for tomorrow? How about we join forces?
I just received a piece of news from the villagers, and they have identified the approximate range of a herd of at least 20 wild boars. It is estimated that these pigs are the ones that have destroyed several corn fields in recent days!”
Yue Feng was a little surprised to hear Zhang Junhong come over and talk to him.
Normally, Zhang Junhong was proud of his status and always regarded himself as an uncle, but he never took the initiative to get together with Yue Feng. Even if they met occasionally in various occasions, they were just acquaintances and there was no in-depth cooperation.
Yue Feng grinned: “Who else? Just our two families?”
Zhang Junhong shook his head: “Not really, there is also Liu Wenyi and your brother Liu, our two groups together have about seven or eight people!
How about it, will you? Let’s work together to round up these pigs and shoot them all!”
Hearing that there were other candidates, Yue Feng’s last bit of expectation disappeared and he shook his head: “I’m really sorry Uncle Zhang, I just asked my uncle to let me go to a farther area, I’m afraid I can’t go with you!”
“Is that so… That’s fine, I’ll ask Xiao Zhou and the others! Secretary, please give us more bullets. Tomorrow is a tough battle, and we can’t do without enough bullets!” Zhang Junhong nodded without any expression on his face and changed the subject.
After Zhang Junhong left, Xiao Tao pouted and muttered softly, “A group of twenty or so pigs called us to join them. They know that we have strong firepower and are taking advantage of us!”
“Okay, talk less! Everyone should think about their own ideas! We are just guys from the same village, why are you whispering about nothing?” Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Tao, then said hello to Wang Jianguo and left early.
What Xiao Tao said is actually correct, but it is only one aspect of it.
The current Yuefeng Hunting Team is more than just a team with many guns and strong firepower.
Yue Feng’s family also has two motorcycle tricycles and a tractor. With these vehicles and equipment, it would be much easier to transport the prey downstairs.
After returning home, Yue Feng arranged all the things needed to go up the mountain tomorrow.
Before using a firearm, it must be inspected and maintained in advance. Zhao Pao and Uncle Chen’s barreled guns must also be borrowed and inspected. In addition, a large number of hunting equipment such as bullets, knives, spears, leggings, hunting bags, matches, bandages, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs, etc., all need to be organized.
After several hours of meticulous preparation, the Yue Feng brothers had packed up all their equipment.
This time, when going up the mountain, we don’t have to rely solely on our two legs. There are two military backpacks, two for each of the four members of the hunting team, and they can also carry a lot of equipment and supplies. Both the efficiency and speed will be greatly improved.
That afternoon, Yue Feng fed the falcon as usual, but reduced the amount of food by half.
In spring and summer, when the eagles are almost free-range, the big black eagle and the little white eagle are much more active than when they were kept in cages, and their feathers have already been replaced from head to toe, leaving them clean and tidy.
It is worth mentioning that the black eagle, which has completely changed its feathers, is still covered with inky black feathers. There are no changes in fur color, patterns, and textures that are inevitable in adult birds of prey as they age. Only the claws and nose wax have become darker in color, which shows the difference from last year.
Judging from the visual inspection, it seems that it has just shed its fur and is almost indistinguishable from when it was first taken off the net last year.
In comparison, changes can be seen in the patterns and details of the white spear’s feathers. The spots on the large feathers have become smaller, and the horizontal stripes on the breast have become finer and smaller. There are plenty of small prey in the mountains and forests, and the feathers of these two eagles are of top quality.
According to Yue Feng’s experience in caged eagle training in his previous life, even a fully-fed eagle that was released the previous year would have to go through a short period of taming and weight loss after being put into the cage to molt.
If an ordinary eagle does not lift its perch for a long time, its affinity will decrease and the eagle will become rebellious. It needs to be retrained to restore its affinity before it can be used.
However, the process of re-training the eagle will be shortened a lot, about twice as fast as a new eagle, and it will be able to work again in three to five days.
As for the black and white evil birds in his home, Yue Feng no longer let the two gyrfalcons move freely when the eaglets left the nest at the end of July. He gradually resumed artificial feeding and kept them capped for no reason.
Through observation, Yue Feng found that these two clever gyrfalcons quickly recovered to their actual combat state in the mountains last year after only a brief adaptation.
It is now almost fully fat, but when it flies in circles every day, its controllability is very good.
The next morning, just after daybreak, the four young men from Yue Feng’s hunting team gathered at Yue Feng’s house for breakfast.
After breakfast, the brothers put on their leggings, then went out of the house with their guns and hunting bags.
Seeing their master dressed like this, Big Yellow, Black Wolf and other hunting dogs all became excited.
In spring and summer, the dogs at home hardly ever do any serious work except that Yue Feng takes them for a stroll in the mountains regularly to maintain their hunting instincts. The dogs have long been looking forward to returning to the mountains to fight.
In comparison, Canglong and other dogs who returned to sleep under the kang in Yuefeng’s west room were relatively calm. These silly dogs seemed to have not realized what their owner was going to do.
“Cang Long, Hei Hu, Hua Bao, Tan Lang, today I will take you to the mountain to learn how to live with the big yellow and black wolves! Come out!!”
Yue Feng opened the door of the west room and greeted them, and the four dogs soon came into the yard.
Early in the morning, the eight dogs were only half fed, especially Dahuang and Heilang, who kept looking outside the door, as if they couldn’t wait any longer.
After the final inspection of the personnel and equipment was completed, Yue Feng waved his hand, pushed out the motorcycle, and left the house in groups of two. The eight dogs behind them followed the motorcycle directly out of the village and headed straight for the mountain road at the west gate.
Today is the first day of Operation Autumn Wind, and the hunters in the village all got up very early.
At the entrance of the village, there were already a few people walking out with their dogs and guns. They were overtaken by two military vehicles from the Yue Feng Hunting Team. After a simple greeting, they disappeared in front of them, raising a cloud of dust.
“Fuck! The second kid from the Yue family is really capable. He said at the beginning that it was a borrowed military backpack, but he has been riding it for more than half a year and has never returned it! He just twists the accelerator and runs away. He is much better than our two flesh legs!” The hunter from the same village muttered with some envy.
“We peasants can’t compete with the regular army. Did you see the two falcons that Xiao Tao was holding in the truck bed? It is said that the falcons can even catch cannonballs weighing several hundred kilograms! They are amazing!!”
……
With the help of the yellow lights of the motorcycles, the Yuefeng hunting team quickly went up the mountain along the Chaiji Road.
With the vehicle, the speed of entering the mountain was indeed much faster. After circling a few times and finding a place to park the military backpack, the sky was completely bright.
I checked the time. It was 6:25 in the morning. The early autumn dew wet the plants on the roadside. The vast forest was still quite peaceful, as if it had not yet woken up.
“Brother, just leave the motorcycle here. There’s no need to leave anyone to watch it.” Xiao Tao got down from the truck bed, carrying his hunting bag and putting the gun belt of the barrel gun on his shoulder.
Yue Feng shook his head: “No, take out the key and lock the bike. Ordinary people can’t ride it away! It has a military license plate, who would dare to touch it!”
“That!”
Soon, the motorcycle found a place where it would not get in the way and parked. Yue Feng took off the hats of the two falcons and released them.
The new hunting season has officially begun. (End of this chapter)
