Chapter 184 Giving Performance

The next morning, Yue Feng opened his eyes on time. His mother was cooking in the outer kitchen, and the light outside the window was slightly white.

Yue Feng jumped out of bed, quickly put on his clothes and got off the kang, opened the door and took the puppy to go to the bathroom, doing all the routine things he had to do every morning.

The rice in the pot was ready. Xiao Tao and the two Zhang brothers also arrived on time. Yue Feng opened the table aside, and then the four brothers ate quickly.

Today’s breakfast is steamed buns stuffed with wild boar meat. The stuffing is made of chopped wild boar meat and seasoned with onions. Each bun is as big as an adult’s palm. When you bite open the bun skin, you will find that the stuffing inside is almost entirely a meat egg. Take a bite of the bun and then a bite of garlic. The taste is so delicious.

The four people who went up the mountain had eaten and drunk their fill. Meng Yulan packed the remaining buns in a lunch box, except for some for breakfast for the other three people in the family.

Meng Yulan stacked the lunch boxes and stuffed them carefully into her backpack, while she was telling

“The mountains are not like home, especially when you spend the night in the mountains, you must be extremely careful. The wild animals in the mountains cannot find food during this season, so be alert when you go to bed!
I have also packed up the bear skin for you. We can process the skin ourselves. It is a bit hard if it is not well nitrated, but it can keep out the cold air on the ground. Remember to take it with you!”

Although Meng Yulan usually doesn’t seem to interfere with her son’s actions, as a mother she is still a little worried when she plans to spend the night in the mountains for the first time.

“Hey… Mom, don’t be nervous. We are just going to scout the place today. We won’t even bring the dog! We may be back in the afternoon! This bear skin is warm, but it’s too heavy. We are young and can withstand the tossing and turning. We can just spend one night in it!” Yue Feng saw his mother’s worry, so he said comforting words.

Meng Yulan said in a rare firm tone: “No, the bear skin must be taken with you! The dog must be taken with you too!

How can we go to the mountains to spend the night without a dog? At least bring the black wolf with us! It has good ears and can hear things at night!”

Yue Feng had no choice but to agree: “Okay, then let’s lead Black Wolf! But this way, we won’t be able to ride the forest farm’s train!”

“You have to keep the dog on a leash, your father specifically told you to do this!”

“Okay!” Yue Feng nodded, agreeing to his mother’s request.

All preparations were completed. Yue Feng and his three companions took two guns, several large bags of bullets, and many necessary supplies for going up the mountain. They tied up Black Wolf with a hemp rope and prepared to leave the house.

Seeing that their owner only took the black wolf out to the mountain, the other three dogs were almost barking like crazy. From the dogs’ humming, one could hear the emotional change from extreme excitement to extreme disappointment. Yue Feng even felt a little uncomfortable.

But there is no other way. The other three dogs are not as smart as the black wolf, and they cannot obey orders and stay still. There is no need to use so many dogs for overnight warning, so it is useless for the dogs at home to waile. It is better not to bring them with you.

The four brothers left the village and went up the mountain along the path. Then, under the leadership of Yue Feng, they crossed several ridges in front of their homes and walked along the direction of the Chaiji Road of the forest farm.

This time when they went up the mountain, the first target was the wild boar king and the groups of big wild boars that Zhu Erhai mentioned, so they hurried along the Chaiji Road all the way. Yue Feng held a big black eagle with a hat in his hand, Xiao Tao led the dog, Xiaowen dragged a folding sled, and Xiaowu carried two guns and bullets, and they hurried on through the mountains and forests.

It took more than three hours to walk, from dawn in the morning until around nine or ten in the morning, when we finally arrived at Forest Farm No. 30.

“Huff, huff, huff…Brother, I can’t walk anymore, take a breath and rest!”

Xiaowu was quite excited when he first went out carrying two 45 and a half rifles, but two guns plus a hundred or so bullets were not light, and the boy was exhausted after walking for several hours.

Yue Feng looked up at the surroundings and said, “We are almost at Woniu Mountain. Okay, let’s take a break!”

The four of them simply rested for ten minutes on the side of the road and took out the water bottles from their backpacks to shake them.

Fortunately, a rabbit skin cover was sewn outside the kettle to keep it warm, so it did not freeze into ice lumps this time.

Yue Feng unscrewed the lid of the kettle, took a sip of water, and handed the kettle to Xiao Tao beside him.

Xiao Tao also took a sip of water and passed it to Xiao Wen and then Xiao Wu.

Xiao Tao looked at the almost completely unfamiliar environment and asked, “This is too far! What if we really find a group of wild boars? We have to use two guns to kill dozens of wild boars. What will we do when we get back? We will be exhausted!”

“Haha, you’re dreaming! You can only shoot when safety is guaranteed! No matter how big the group of wild boars is, you can only kill three or five at most! You’re still thinking of wiping them all out!” Xiaowen responded with a smile.

Xiao Tao curled his lips and said, “Who knows! With the captain and Xiaowu’s marksmanship, they can only hit seven or eight out of ten bullets within a hundred meters. If the wild boars really run, I think they will not rush towards people. At that time, we may have a chance to change bullets and fire two rounds of rifles!”

Yue Feng was also thinking about this problem. After hearing Xiao Tao’s hypothesis, he smiled and said, “If we can really catch dozens of wild boars, I will go to the forest farm to borrow a large truck!

There are only a few hills between Chaiji Road and Woniu Mountain. As long as we put in some effort, we can drag all the prey back. Then we can drive the Jiefang truck to the village, or even deliver it to the city, and we can get it all done in one go!”

When they heard Yue Feng mention the big truck, Xiao Tao and the three brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu recalled the Jiefang truck that they had ridden to fight the blind bear that attacked people last time.

It is really convenient to have a car. Although it is still cold to ride in this thing, it is really fast! For example, today, it took three hours to walk up the mountain. If I drove, it would take less than an hour, and it saves energy!

Xiao Tao: “When we make a lot of money in the future, we will buy a big truck and drive it! Then we can go hunting in the mountains and we won’t have any trouble selling the prey we catch!”

Yue Feng chuckled and said: “Private purchase of this thing is not allowed. You need a quota from a state-owned unit to buy and use it. You should think of something more practical!
At best, if there is a chance later, I will get to know Captain Guo and ask him for help. If I can establish a relationship with the driver of the forestry team, maybe I can use public property for personal gain and take advantage of the public!”

“Hey… I just said it casually. Even if we don’t use the indicators, we don’t have that much money!” Xiao Tao scratched his head, a little frustrated.

While the brothers were sitting on the snow pile beside the Chaiji Road, resting their feet and chatting and bragging, Yue Feng’s eyes unconsciously swept across the shady slope opposite.

“Xiaowu, give me the gun!”

Yue Feng stared motionlessly at the shady slope opposite, which was about two hundred meters away, and stretched out his hand towards Xiaowu.

“What the hell? What did you find?” Xiaowu asked curiously as he took the gun off his shoulder.

“We are quite ambitious today. We haven’t even reached our destination yet, but someone is trying to help us achieve our goals! There is a roe deer on the shady slope at the four o’clock direction opposite us!”

Yue Feng took the gun, glanced at the magazine, and turned on the safety.

“Xiao Tao, hold the Black Hawk and take the dog away, so that it won’t be deafened by the gunshots!”

“Oh! Where is the roe deer?” Xiao Tao took the eagle from Yue Feng’s arm and looked around at the same time. However, in his eyes, the white ground and gray trees of the distant forest were mixed together, and he could not see the roe deer that the captain mentioned at all.

“I’m watching! Brother Feng, which one are you going to lock?” Xiaowu also picked up another 56.

“I’ll go left, you go left, let’s go after the bigger one first!” Yue Feng held the gun to his face and started aiming. “Okay, you say shoot, let’s pull the trigger together!”

“3! 2! 1! Hit!”

Yue Feng counted in a solemn voice, and when it came to fighting, he immediately pulled the trigger.

boom!
Boom!

Bang bang bang!
There was a small group of five roe deer on the opposite shady slope. At the moment the gunshot was heard, the big roe deer on the left that Yue Feng had locked onto was hit by the bullet from the upper side of its front leg, which went through its lungs and shot out from the other side diagonally, knocking it to the ground on the spot.

In comparison, Xiaowen had little shooting experience. Although he also pulled the trigger, after the gun went off, the second roe deer from the left that he was aiming at was not hit. Instead, a streak of snow flew up from the snow near the roe deer’s feet, and the frightened roe deer ran away.

The subsequent shots seemed to have missed the target, and the panicked roe deer fled in the woods. Only a gray shadow could be seen, quickly disappearing from sight.

“Damn it! I missed it. My aim was pretty accurate, but how come it was so far off!”

When Xiaowu fired the gun just now, his attention was always on the target. When he saw the roe deer run away after the gun was fired, he knew that the gun had probably missed.

“Stop arguing and go take a look!”

Yue Feng put the gun on his shoulder, strode down the Chaiji Road, crossed the bottom of the ditch in the thick snow, and headed towards the shady slope on the opposite side.

Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he was less than thirty meters away from the place where the first roe deer fell.

It’s okay, there is a smaller female roe deer that was also knocked down not far away.

If I only shot one, it would be a bit of a waste of two guns and the opportunity to catch five roe deer. If I could keep two, that would be acceptable.

Yue Feng walked quickly to the front, took a glance at the roe deer he had hit in the first shot, lifted the roe deer up by its hind legs, adjusted the angle so that its head was facing downward, and made another cut in the carotid artery in its neck to let the blood flow. Then he walked towards the other roe deer.

The second roe deer that was shot was not dead yet. The bullet hit the spine, and the roe deer lost its ability to move.

Yue Feng has always adhered to the attitude of killing but not abusing life. If he encounters a prey while hunting in the mountains, it is fate, but he will not deliberately increase the suffering of the prey.

He covered the roe deer’s eyes and stabbed its carotid artery and trachea again.

Soon the injured roe deer was drained of blood and stopped moving.

“Brother Feng, we’re lucky. We caught two!” Xiaowen also caught up a little bit late. Seeing Yue Feng bleeding the second roe deer, there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

“Xiao Tao, come here and gut the roe deer!” Yue Feng called out, and Xiao Tao, who was still half a beat slow at the bottom of the ditch, quickened his pace.

“Something’s wrong, brother. When we were practicing shooting before, I thought I was quite accurate. But why was it that I couldn’t hit the roe deer? You must have shot these two roe deer, right? I fired three shots, but didn’t hit any of them!” Xiaowu asked with some confusion.

Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Wu and said, “Hunting is definitely harder than shooting. The prey is alive, but the target is dead!”

“Then the first shot should have hit the target, right? The first shot seemed to hit my feet!”

Hearing Xiaowu’s doubts, Yue Feng explained: “The distance is far, the muzzle must be raised, and the pre-aiming position must be advanced! From the position where we just rested, the straight-line distance to the target is nearly 200 meters! The aiming scale must be moved up one level! You are aiming at a distance of 100 meters, so you are shooting at your feet!”

“Oh, I was too nervous just now and forgot about this!” Xiaowu slapped his head after hearing the answer, his face full of regret.

“That’s enough. If you didn’t hit it, then you didn’t hit it. It’s not a big deal. You can practice more in the future and get the hang of it. I’ll give you the gun and I’ll feed the dog and the eagle!”

Yue Feng took off the Big Black Hawk’s hat. This guy had just heard the gunshots and had already started screaming uncontrollably.

After taking off his hat and seeing the light, the big black eagle spread its wings, flapping them excitedly and cackling.

At this time, Xiao Tao had already skillfully used a sharp knife to take out the lantern hanging from the first roe deer. Without Yue Feng’s instruction, he found the location of the roe deer’s heart and cut off the flesh with one knife.

“Stop cackling and come and eat!” Yue Feng took the roe deer heart from Xiao Tao, cut the meat into slices with a leg stick, and then handed it to the big black eagle’s mouth.

The big black eagle’s crop was empty. Normally, the morning feeding time had passed, so it was in a relatively hungry state at the moment. After seeing the meat, it immediately jumped over and raised its head to take the piece of meat cut by Yue Feng.

He slowly sliced ​​the roe deer heart meat and fed it to the black eagle. When the eagle was about 70% full, Yue Feng stopped feeding it.

It is not the protagonist today. It eats until it is about 70% full and flies in the sky with people as if it is going out for training.

After feeding the big black eagle, the rest belonged to the black wolf. Two sets of fish were used to feed a dog. There had never been such a rich battle before.

However, the black wolf was not fed until its belly was full, but was fed about 60% to 70% full, so that it could maintain its physical strength but not be burdened in its movements due to being completely full.

“Brother, do you still want to put the roe deer into the water? Or hang them on the tree?” Xiao Tao asked as usual.

Yue Feng glanced at Chai Jidao, and then looked at the surrounding environment: “The two roe deer are hanging on the tree when they enter the water. Find a place to bury the roe deer temporarily with a pile of snow! When we go down the mountain, we can come back to get them!”

Even if the two roe deer were bled and their internal organs removed, they would still weigh at least 100 pounds. The four of us had not yet reached our destination on foot, and dragging them along would be too tiring. We could only find a place to hide for the time being.

Although this place is not far from Chaiji Road, it is already deep in the mountains far away from the settlements at the foot of the mountain, so there is no need to worry about being picked up by others. Burying it in the snow can limit the spread of the smell to a certain extent, and minimize the probability of being discovered by predators in the mountains.

“Okay, let’s bury it for now and make a mark! Xiaowen, come and give me a hand!”

Soon, the brothers dug a snow pit, stuffed the two roe deer into it, covered them with snow, and then made a mark on the tree nearby. They could come and get them when they went down the mountain.

From discovering the roe deer to hiding the prey, it took less than half an hour in total. Everyone had basically rested, reorganized their equipment, and continued on their way.

The goal is simple, to reach the location of Zhu Erhai’s intelligence point before lunch!
