Chapter 103 Found the real owner
On the other side, Yue Feng rode his bike back home with a few hundred yuan in cash.

After entering the house, the first thing Yue Feng did was to take out the money from today’s sales, and then he took out the dividends from selling meat separately.

Uncle Li was injured while leading others up the mountain today, and he will definitely not be able to go up the mountain in a short time. Although Xiao Tao will definitely have income in the future, as the team leader, Yue Feng feels that he should give out a little more money.

Didn’t we just agree yesterday to set aside 10% of the revenue from hunting as a team reserve fund? Now that Uncle Li, who is leading the team, is injured, it is a perfect opportunity to give him this part of the money as extra support for the injured.

Today, more than 57 kilograms of pure meat were sold for 40 yuan. Yue Feng added a small amount and made up yuan in total, which he will send to the Li family later.

Before doing this, Yue Feng specifically asked Yue Lei for his father’s opinion. Yue Lei’s attitude was the same as Yue Feng’s. He believed that the money should be given. Now Yue Feng had no psychological burden at all.

If there is something to say, it will be long; if there is nothing to say, it will be short. Yue Feng was thinking about going up the mountain to take revenge early tomorrow morning. After dinner, he gave the job of flying the hawk to his father and went back to the room early to rest on the kang.

That night, Yue Feng did not sleep well. He dreamed that he found the cannon that hurt people, but the gun in his hand would not fire no matter what. In the end, his brothers had to use knives to capture the pig.

At dawn the next morning, Yue Feng heard some noise at the gate of the courtyard. He quickly got up, put on his cotton coat and trousers, then held his child’s arms and left the house.

When we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, we saw the three brothers Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, already waiting at the gate fully armed.

It’s not even six o’clock yet, and these three people are very enthusiastic about going up the mountain to seek revenge.

“How long have you been here? You came early but didn’t even knock on the door. Come in!” Yue Feng glanced at the three brothers and asked casually.

“Just came over for a while! Bro, what time are we leaving?”

“Your aunt is making breakfast for us. Let’s go after we’re full! Let’s go inside and warm up first!”

Meng Yulan knew that her son and his friends would go into the mountains early today, so she prepared a very solid breakfast.

On weekdays, we eat steamed buns made of two grams of flour, plus a combination of barley porridge and meat oil and pickles.

Today is different. My mother uses pure white flour to make fat cakes.

When seeing the word “zhibing”, many authentic Northeastern people may not know what it is.

This is a noodle cooking method introduced from the interior. The fat residue is chopped up and mixed with animal oil and part of the flour, then mixed with salt and chopped green onions to make the filling. After wrapping it, it is steamed in a pot.

After being steamed, the fat cake looks like a flattened steamed bun, but when you bite into it, you will find stuffing inside, and your mouth will be filled with the rich aroma of fat.

On ordinary days, the family would not have the conditions for this, but Yue Feng and Li Wentong went up the mountain and hunted two pigs. In addition to selling some sow meat, there was still a lot of meat that had not been processed. Meng Yulan felt sorry for these children, so she specially made this high-fat and high-calorie “luxury” food.

Although the fat cake is small in size, even a strong man can feel full after eating two in one meal. It contains a lot of fat residue and animal oil, so it is very filling. It is also easy to handle in the mountains. You can just light a small fire and roast it and you can eat it.

From the perspective of calories and hunger resistance alone, the only dry food that can compete with fat cakes for going up the mountain is sticky bean buns.

While she was talking, the steamed fat cakes were ready. Meng Yulan quickly opened the pot and said, “Eat them while they’re hot! Xiaofeng, help me and bring the pickles to the table!”

A group of people had been coming to Yue Feng’s house for dinner in the morning. Now they didn’t bother to be polite with Meng Yulan. Some were looking for seats, some were setting up tables, and they soon set up their place.

When you take a bite of the freshly steamed fat cake, your mouth will be filled with the softness of flour mixed with the aroma of oil and chopped green onions. Then take a small bite of a pickled vegetable, it is fragrant and refreshing.

One person can eat two pancakes and have a bowl of hot corn porridge to fill up, and he will be basically full.

“When you go up the mountain at noon, take the remaining fat cakes with you! There is nothing else to do when you go into the mountains. I must have told you all about it at home, so I won’t say more! Safety comes first. Auntie will prepare dinner and wait for you to come home and eat in the evening!”

Meng Yulan looked at the slightly immature but resolute faces at the table and muttered to herself.

“Okay, Mom! Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon. It’s just a lame pig. We might be able to finish the job in the whole morning! But I have to say, this steamed fat cake you made is really delicious!!”

Yue Feng held his mother’s hand tightly to comfort her, and only then did Meng Yulan stop mumbling.

After eating and drinking, Yue Feng took down the Type 56 and a half from the wall and put it on his shoulder. Then he put on his backpack and after checking that nothing was left out, he left the village with his three brothers Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu and headed towards the distant mountains and forests.

Even though the adults in the family were quite nervous about Yue Feng and his companions going into the mountains today, Yue Feng himself thought that dealing with a pig with a wounded leg was not that difficult.

Even if the other party is a gun-slinger, brave, and dares to attack people, there is nothing to be afraid of. The biggest reason why this kind of monster commits evil and hurts people is that the hunter is not prepared.

Just like what happened to Xiao Tao yesterday, if he had paid a little attention to the surrounding environment and the traces on the ground at his feet when he was walking at the bottom of the ditch and taken precautions in advance, this useless person would not have been able to cause any trouble.

Another point is that Yue Feng discovered a big problem from Li Wentong’s review.

None of the new recruits who followed him up the mountain had the idea of ​​dodging gunfire, including Uncle Li himself, who did not realize this before the incident.

Although Li Wentong is an experienced hunter who goes into the mountains every year, he has no experience in leading a team for gun hunting, so he did not notice such details.

When the pigs suddenly came out from under the bushes and attacked people, everyone’s positions were in chaos. Li Wentong, the gunman, did not dare to shoot randomly. He had no choice but to shoot into the air, hoping to scare the pigs away.

However, Dugong Pao’s egg was a gun leak and was naturally hostile to hunters, which caused the subsequent injuries.

So what is the correct approach?
In fact, it is very simple. The person in charge of driving the stick cannot be higher than the main attacker, and must not block the main attacker’s line of sight. In this way, if an emergency occurs, the main attacker’s shooting angle will be safe enough.

The reality is not like in the movies, where the boar can still jump around after being shot. Even if you don’t consider the destructive power added by the rolling bullet, a shot from the front on a wild boar will go in through a small hole and out through a big hole, and the wound on the back will be at least a hole the size of a bowl.

The penetrating power of the 7.62mm rifle bullet is no joke. If a person stands behind a pig and the bullet penetrates the wild boar, the remaining kinetic energy will penetrate the person’s body. When the bullet rolls, the power will be greater than if it hits the person directly!
After leaving the village and climbing up the first ridge, Yue Feng began to teach the team members how to stand.

Including how the problem occurred yesterday, how the normal tracking and driving personnel should stand, which direction to hide in case of an emergency, etc., all were explained to Xiao Tao and his two brothers in detail.

The four men today were full of murderous intent. The three brothers driving the carts, each holding a long-handled spear or a knife, the four of them were pulling two sleds, and Yue Feng was carrying a 56-and-a-half truck on his back. This formation was definitely intended to do some heavy cargo.

Yue Feng was familiar with the general terrain of the mountain. After a simple inquiry, he roughly knew the area where the incident occurred. In this way, the four of them wrapped themselves in thick cotton clothes and headed straight for Yanwangtiao, located southwest of Yezhuling. In this small area of ​​northeast China, there is no random naming of mountains or terrains. Yanwangtiao is a very representative ditch and pond terrain in Yue Feng’s memory.

The two ridges here are very close to each other, with a straight-line distance of no more than fifty meters. Looking from a distance, it seems as if you can run and leap to the other side with one leap.

At the bottom of the ditch, various shrubs and jujube vines are entangled with each other, and the terrain is quite complex. In the words of local hunters, this area is very noisy.

In this kind of terrain, thick layers of fallen leaves accumulate under the trees, as well as half-dried, non-rotten berries and seeds from the autumn sun.

It is suitable for some mountain animals to avoid the cold wind, find food, and it is also easy to hide their bodies.

But for hunters who go into the mountains to hunt, this is not a good place.

If you use a gun to hunt wild boars, the bushes are so dense that it is difficult to find the prey. Even if you follow the trail, you may come into close contact with the wild boar face to face.

If you use dogs to hunt dogs in a pen, this kind of terrain is also very likely to hurt the dogs. There are too many messy bushes on the ground, which has little impact on prey such as wild boars and bears, but dogs can easily not dodge when dealing with prey.

Many people think that dog hunting is about a group of dogs finding their prey and then rushing over to bite the pig to death. In fact, the reality is far from this.

The fur of an adult wild boar is tough, and the bite force of an ordinary hunting dog is not enough to easily bite through and tear the skin of a large wild boar from the front.

In a dog pack, the role of the hunting dogs is mainly to delay and maneuver. Only a pack with a good leader and a group of strong helpers will choose to confront the wild boar head-on. More often than not, they have to wait for the hunter to come forward to finish off the fight with the last blow or shot.

As far as Yue Feng could remember from his previous life, this place had injured at least seven or eight head dogs of a professional mountain hunting dog team. As for the losses of the helper dogs, the number was countless.

An hour and a half later, Yue Feng and his group arrived at the place where the battle took place yesterday.

The brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu were on guard on the ridge. Xiaotao took Yuefeng down to the bottom of the ditch and observed all the traces left by yesterday’s battle from beginning to end.

Seeing the footprints on the ground and the bloodstains left by the injured wild boar, Yue Feng slowly pieced together the general situation of yesterday’s battle in his mind.

He took a few steps forward, then his eyes stopped beside a pool of blood.

Two meters away, there were two bullet holes shot at an angle. This should be the place where Xiaowen shot the wild boar with his gun in a desperate situation.

Yue Feng took a few steps forward and found that the actual situation was consistent with his speculation.

Yue Feng observed the blood-stained snow again, and finally found a pig’s hoof nail that was half broken by a gun in an inconspicuous place.

This was good news for Yue Feng. The wild boar was injured on its hoof. If the pig’s hind leg was injured and the leg bone was not hit, the pig’s ability to move would be limited, but it would be far from completely losing its function.

But the bullet directly broke off the hoof bone and half of the nail of the pig’s hoof, which means that this foot definitely did not dare to touch the ground.

In this case, the pig only has three legs left, and its ability to move is greatly limited.

Yue Feng followed the bloodstains and traces left by the wild boar’s escape and found that the pig ran away towards the southwest in the direction of Yanwangtiaogou.

“Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu, you two follow us on the ridge, stand on the high ground and keep an eye on the situation at the bottom of the ditch! Xiao Tao, you walk one step behind me, put the knife on the ridge, and keep an eye on any unexpected situations!”

After surveying the terrain, Yue Feng came up with an action plan.

Whether it is Xiaowen, Xiaowu or Xiaotao, the three brothers have different temperaments, but they all have a good habit, that is, their execution is very strong. Once Yue Feng assigns a task, these people will do it immediately without asking any questions.

Yue Feng took off the safety on the gun, then hung the gun belt on his shoulder and followed the traces left by the wild boar, chasing forward step by step with the gun in hand.

They had a few close calls along the way without any danger, until Yue Feng and Xiao Tao got out of the bush area at the bottom of the ditch, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the traces left behind, the wild boar was not here. It crossed a ridge along the southwest valley and continued to move forward.

After getting out of this area, the pressure on the team to track and search was greatly reduced. The four people successfully reunited and followed Yue Feng on both sides and continued to move forward.

Yue Feng followed the footprints and occasional bloodstains for the entire morning and finally found the hiding place of the beast.

It’s quite interesting to say that after the cannon egg was injured and escaped, it almost went around the two ridges next to Yanwangtiao, made a whole circle, and finally settled down about two kilometers northwest of Yanwangtiao.

If Yue Feng had not followed the trail, but moved directly in the opposite direction to search, he would probably have found this place in an hour at most.

This is a gentle slope halfway up the ravine. Large pieces of fallen red pine leaves are piled up here, and this wild boar has piled them into a large wild boar’s nest.

At this moment, the big boar was eating pine nuts under the snow with its thick snout and fangs under a pine tree less than a hundred meters away from the wild boar’s den.

Yue Feng and his three brothers stopped at a distance.

Yue Feng raised his hand slightly and pressed down at the crowd, and everyone immediately stood still.

Yue Feng scanned the surrounding terrain and soon found the pine needle nest that had been pushed away by the wild boar and had almost no snow. In the snow-covered environment, this area of ​​different colors was very conspicuous and could be spotted from a distance.

“Under the pine tree over there should be a wild boar’s den for the night. At this time, it should be foraging for food around! The terrain here is open, so don’t move. I’ll stroll ahead by myself!” Yue Feng gave a few simple instructions, crouched down, and moved towards the direction of the wild boar’s den.

At this moment, Yue Feng had completely activated the hunter’s memory of hunting in the mountains and forests. He stopped to observe after walking a few steps. It took him more than ten minutes to move less than two hundred meters.

But this caution was worth it, and Yue Feng soon found the target he was tracking.

The big wild boar with an injured hind leg was now eating pine nuts under the pine trees on the opposite hillside.
