Chapter 108 The Big Black Hawk Who Can Hear Gunshots
“If we clean up these offal properly, we can make some dishes with them. We can’t throw them away!” Xiaonian said very stingily as he looked at the pile of roe deer entrails at his feet.

“Of course. Put it aside to cool first, then put it in later, tie it up with a rope, and carry it down the mountain!” Zhu Erhai said very knowledgeably.

The temperature on the mountain was at least minus ten to twenty degrees Celsius. After a short while, the roe deer that had been gutted froze solid. The brothers hurriedly stuffed the internal organs back into the roe deer’s abdomen, then carried them directly on their shoulders and walked home.

The three brothers carried the prey and walked away, and a black shadow flew over from a very distant place in the sky.

The black shadow spun a few times in the sky, and after noticing the red bloodstains on the ground, it folded its wings and dived down to the place where the roe deer had been gutted not long ago.

It was the big black eagle. At this moment, the big black eagle’s breathing frequency was slightly faster than normal, but no matter how it breathed, no white hot air came out of its nostrils, as if it was not a living creature, but an exquisite machine.

The straight-line distance from where it was just now to where the roe deer was being gutted was at least ten kilometers.

According to its own experience, when people take the prey away, there should be delicious animal organs such as heart, liver, lungs, etc. left on the tree.

But this time he miscalculated. Nothing was left on the ground except a pool of red blood.

The big black eagle was a little confused. He clearly heard the gunshot and saw the hunter bleeding the prey, but why were the internal organs still missing from the tree? Could it be that some other predator got there first? There were no traces of them on the ground!

Just when the big black eagle was doubting his life, two sub-adult roe deer weighing only 20 to 30 kilograms appeared timidly a few dozen meters away.

The big black eagle seemed not to see the two roe deer. It jumped a few steps on the ground naturally, then took off from the spot, and quickly circled and climbed to a height of one or two hundred meters.

The little roe deer, not knowing what was going on, walked dazedly to the place where the mother roe deer was bled, and licked the red blood with a distressed look on his face.

The next second, a diving whistling sound like a hypersonic missile flying by was heard coming from the air and getting closer and closer.

The Black Hawk swooped down in an instant, leaving a series of afterimages.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the half-grown roe deer, which had been licking the blood with its head down a second ago, was kicked in the back of the head by the black eagle as it swooped down at high speed. It staggered to the ground and twitched in an instant, and it was obviously dying.

The big black eagle, having succeeded in its attack, turned in mid-air, and its flight trajectory seemed to be a check mark as it landed back in front of the roe deer that was kicked to death.

The huge eagle claws easily grasped the roe deer’s fur, and the eagle beak with curved hooks and serrations began to exert force from the roe deer’s eyes, pulling out the eyes and swallowing them in a few bites, then tearing the skin from the corners of the eyes, and continuously devouring the flesh and blood on the roe deer’s head.

After the two eyes of the roe deer were eaten, and a lot of the flesh and blood on its head were also eaten, the big black eagle seemed to be still unsatisfied. It used the same method to tear open the fur on the roe deer’s belly, holding the intestines in its mouth and pulling them out piece by piece until the stomach was empty. Then it reached into the cavity and ate the tender heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs.

In less than half an hour, the big black eagle was full. The crop on its chest was bulging high, and the area between the eagle’s head and chest was stained with a lot of blood because it had drilled into the abdominal cavity.

The big black eagle took good care of its feathers. It rolled in the snow like an old hen sitting on its nest, and rubbed its bloody feathers on the snow. It quickly cleaned up the blood, ate and drank its fill, then flapped its wings and took off, disappearing into an unknown place in the sky.

……

While the big black eagle was hunting for food on the Changbai Mountain Street, on the other side, a group of three people who had killed a roe deer for the first time entering the mountains were on their way back, and the atmosphere was somewhat discordant.

The cause was simple. Junqiang just said casually that if the roe deer was taken home and the meat was divided, he could get two shares.

Indeed, when they go up the mountain together, the gun provider counts as one share, and the man provider counts as one share, so there is nothing wrong with Junqiang taking two shares.

But the problem was that, during the previous discussion, Zhu Erhai said that he would provide information and intelligence, and the information would also have a share. If the person also had a share, he would have two shares.

However, now that we failed to hunt the wild boar, we unexpectedly harvested a roe deer. What should we do now?

The information about prey released does not count, because no wild boar was shot in the field where the information came from.

Three soldiers work together. In the absence of a leader, each person takes one share and one gun, and the prey is divided into four parts.

By this calculation, Junqiang can get half of the roe deer, while Xiaonian and Zhu Erhai can only get a quarter each.

Xiaonian knew his position. He was just a military strategist. He had no physical strength and no martial arts skills. But he could just use his brain and get a quarter of the points without any problem.

But Zhu Erhai felt that he was at a disadvantage, because he was the one who killed the roe deer, but in the end he could only get a share.

“I think that as the main attacker, I should also get two shares of the roe deer that I shot!” After a long silence, Zhu Erhai finally put forward his request.

The Zhu family is a person who thinks they have suffered a loss if they don’t get an advantage. This has been the case since the old generation. Now that he has led people into the mountains to hunt prey, he gets as much as Xiaonian, who came up with the idea. Zhu Erhai can’t accept this.

“Didn’t we agree on this before? Each of the three of us would take a share. Now this roe deer doesn’t count as information fee, so where did you get two shares?”

Although Junqiang is younger, he is quite stubborn. He doesn’t care much about the prey, but he thinks that since they have discussed it before, they should not regret it now.

“Why isn’t the information fee counted as one share? If I hadn’t told you to go to Forest Farm No. 14, would you have been able to encounter this roe deer?” Zhu Erhai continued to argue.

“But we haven’t even reached Forest Farm No. 14 yet. Does what we encounter on the road count as a share of the information? That doesn’t make sense!”

“It’s true that I met this roe deer on the road, but I also used a trick to call it back. To be fair, if it were you, would you know to knock on the tree to call the roe deer back? Does this count as extra credit? Shouldn’t you get a share of it?” Zhu Erhai argued.

At this time, Xiaonian, who had been silent, opened his mouth and said, “Okay, stop arguing!

Erhaige counts as two shares, Junqiang counts as two shares, and I count as one share! It’s just a little roe deer. We are all buddies who have grown up together. It’s just a small thing. Is it worth rebelling against each other?
Junqiang, don’t be unhappy. Erhai’s brother was also bullied by a pig. We were so scared that we climbed up a tree and couldn’t help.
This roe deer was indeed called back by Erhaige. We didn’t go into the mountains empty-handed this time, so it can be considered a great victory. It’s no fun to be too fussy when getting along with brothers!”

When it comes to the second child being taken advantage of by a pig, Junqiang becomes silent.

When he mentioned this, he did feel that he was in the wrong. Seeing that his cousin said so, he also acquiesced to this distribution result.

At about 3:00 p.m., the three brothers came down the mountain carrying the roe deer and headed straight for Wang Xiaonian’s house. The three divided the meat among themselves according to the proportions they had agreed upon later. Zhu Erhai left with a roe deer hind leg and half a rib rack. Junqiang also wanted to leave, but was kept by Xiaonian.

“Brother Xiaonian, we are cousins. Why are you speaking in favor of Zhu Erhai? I know you two are usually good friends, but we are not outsiders, right?”

Junqiang still had some complaints in his heart. When he saw Zhu Erhai leaving carrying the roe deer meat, Junqiang finally expressed his unhappiness.

After hearing this, Xiaonian was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up.

“That’s just the beginning. Zhu Erhai is just a laborer, but we use our brains! It’s not worth it to go into a fight with him and get embarrassed just for a few pounds of roe deer meat!”

“Why not? If he gets one more share, we’ll have less meat to share! This roe deer meat is so delicious when stewed in a pot. I’ll send some to my grandfather. Maybe he’ll be so happy that he won’t tell my dad about me stealing the gun!”

The bomb hanging over Junqiang’s head has not exploded yet, and there is undisguised fear in his tone.

“Who said we suffered a loss? Don’t forget that we didn’t kill the armored cannon today, and we know that the pigs are moving around nearby!” Xiaonian said in a low voice.

“You…you mean, let’s go up the mountain and hunt those wild boars again?” Junqiang glanced at his cousin with a complicated expression.

It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted by such a large group of wild boars. However, when he thought about the scene not long ago where a bullet hit the wild boar’s shoulder and sparks flew, and the big cannon ball rushing towards him like a small tank, Junqiang felt a little scared.

Wang Xiaonian shook his head. He knew his own weight. If he were asked to face that big guy head-on, he wouldn’t be strong enough.

“If we don’t go, what’s the point of knowing the information!”

“We can tell the information to others, for example, secretly tell Yue Feng. According to the rules of the mountain, information also counts as a share!

Let them do the risky things, and we just focus on hunting the wild boars down the mountain and sharing the profits!

Even if we only kill one pig, we can get a lot of meat from each share, isn’t it more economical than these few pounds of roe deer meat?” Xiaonian explained with a smile.

Junqiang was silent now. No wonder his cousin was not in a hurry when dividing the meat. It turned out that this was his plan.

“I heard that Yue Feng just bought a brand new 56- rifle a few days ago, which can fire ten bullets in a row!” Junqiang continued.

“Yes, if the new Type 56 semi-automatic can sneak up on the pigs, except for the biggest cannon egg, the rest will not be able to withstand a bullet in the vitals! I suspect that even the armored cannon egg will kneel down after being shot in the head!”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go to Yue Feng’s house tonight to discuss this!”

“There’s no rush for this. What needs to be solved now is not this problem, but the matter of you stealing the gun. I’ll help you clean up these things, and then I’ll accompany you back to my second grandfather’s house to deliver the gun!”

“Will you accompany me to deliver the gun? Fine, I’ll listen to you!”

With Xiaonian as his backbone, Junqiang suddenly felt that the sun was shining brighter.

My cousin’s nickname, Wolong of Xing’an Village, isn’t for nothing; he really has some tricks up his sleeve.

The two brothers took clean water from the tank, and then patiently washed the roe deer’s intestines, stomach and other offal into the water over and over again. Then they removed one of the front legs, half of the neck and the roe deer’s head, and separated them all.

“Take this thigh home with you, and take these trotters, front legs, and the roe deer head to my second grandfather. When you get home, no matter what he says, don’t be stubborn. Just watch me. Do you understand?!” Xiaonian gave his cousin very planned instructions in advance.

“So… you only got a front leg and half of the roe deer’s spine? Otherwise, we can split the thigh meat in half between the two of us, and you can keep some of the good meat!”

Junqiang felt a little bit uncomfortable when he saw that his cousin gave all the other hind leg to himself.

Judging from his reaction to being willing to share benefits, Junqiang is actually not a bad kid and is quite honest, but he is a little stubborn and likes to stick to his own opinions.

Wang Xiaonian smiled and shook his head: “There is quite a bit of meat on the front legs and spine. Besides, I still have a whole roe deer skin left. After it is stretched out and dried, it will be worth some money!
It’s settled. If we two brothers quarrel over a piece of meat again, it will be a joke to outsiders!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you! My brother is better to me and much more reliable than Zhu Erhai!” Jun Qiang said convincedly.

The two brothers reached an agreement, and soon, one of them carried the roe deer spare parts, and the other carried a gun, and they walked towards Junqiang’s grandfather’s house.

Junqiang’s grandfather, Lao Wang, was an old Eighth Route Army soldier when he was young. This Hanyang rifle was captured by him in the past. In the hands of the old man, at least several Japanese soldiers were killed. Now the gun has become a decoration, but when the old man has nothing to do, he likes to take it out, wipe it, apply some gun oil and do some maintenance.

Yesterday, my grandson Junqiang brought some white wine and peanuts, which made the old man very happy. After all, at his age, without his partner, living alone, he is still quite lonely on weekdays. My grandson still thinks of him, accompanies him for a meal and chats with him, which can be regarded as a low-profile version of family happiness.

Old Wang slept soundly that night, and when he woke up in the morning, he was still reminiscing about the wine he had last night. However, it was snowing, and the villagers were all staying at home for the winter, so Old Wang had nothing to do. After lunch, he had nothing to do, so he wanted to tinker with his Hanyang rifle again.

But when he got on the kang and looked on top of the cupboard, he found that the gun and the bullet bag were gone!

After all, the old man had been a soldier, so he immediately realized what was going on. It turned out that Junqiang was being too attentive to him just to steal his gun.

When it comes to a gun, it’s no joke, so the old man immediately put on his clothes and prepared to go to his son’s house to tell him that the gun had been stolen.

There’s nothing wrong with boys liking guns. If they just steal a gun and go to a secluded place to shoot for fun, it’s no big deal.

I’m afraid my grandson will get carried away and carry a gun into the mountains to shoot wild boars or even blind bears. I can’t say what will happen then.

Just as Old Wang came out of his small courtyard and was about to go to his son’s house, Xiaonian and Junqiang, two brothers, came over one after another from the entrance of the alley.
