Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 212 Three Stinky Hands
Chapter 212 Three Stinky Hands
“Aid North Korea!!”
“Damn, Uncle Zhang, when did you come!” Zhou Yuanchao lowered his head and took a closer look, and found that Zhang Junhong, the captain of the Zhou family hunting team, was wrapped in a white coat and lying in a snow pit.
Zhang Junhong glanced around cautiously, without saying anything, but waved at Zhou Yuanchao, signaling him to lie down.
Although the ambush position now has a good view, it is not far from the stone cave. If the noise is loud and the tiger cub hears it, then the punishment of walking on ice and lying in snow will be in vain.
Zhou Yuanchao immediately understood and slowly lay down on the snow.
The two people were face to face, with a straight-line distance of no more than thirty centimeters.
“The points that Zhu Erhai sold to you?”
The two asked the same question in unison, and then were stunned for a moment.
“Damn! This grandson of the Zhu family is so dishonest!” Zhou Yuanchao cursed in annoyance under his breath.
They were both planning to ambush, and even their target directions were the same, which spoke volumes. Both of them were experienced and mature hunters, and they figured out this trivial matter immediately after using their brains.
“I was wondering why he told me that he only guaranteed the accuracy of the intelligence and nothing else. It turns out that this is a girl looking for two husbands!” Zhang Junhong also lowered his voice and said meaningfully.
“Now that we’re here, what are we going to do? Join forces and temporarily join the gang?”
After Zhou Yuanchao finished cursing, he did not continue the conversation and instead focused his attention on cooperation.
According to the rules of older hunters who go hunting in the mountains, prey on the mountains are ownerless and belong to whoever catches it. If the prey is trapped by a dog, or hit by a snare or trap, and the person is still alive, the other hunter implicitly loses the right to obtain the prey.
What about the situation now, where a piece of information reaches different hunters through different channels, and the hunters meet each other in the mountains, what should we do?
Hunters who are familiar with each other don’t want to give up, so the most amicable way is to join forces!
Of course, this partnership is not applicable to all situations. Most of the time, it is a situation where both parties know each other well and have equal status, influence, and hunting skills.
If one party is an experienced old hunter and the other is just a young boy who has just started going up the mountain, it is not a case of joining forces. The sensible younger generation will most likely give in.
If they don’t know each other and neither wants to give in, and they argue over the prey, conflicts and even fights are inevitable.
In this day and age, it is inevitable that someone will go missing when hunting in the mountains. In the dark side where the sun does not shine, there are always many dirty things that ordinary people cannot see. This is also the direct reason why Yue Feng went to Uncle Zhao’s house to borrow skis and was reminded by Uncle Zhao that humans are more dangerous than wild beasts.
“Then let’s join forces! We both have 16-gauge barrels, and if we use two guns together, we can be a little more accurate!”
Zhang Junhong has cursed Zhu Erhai countless times in his heart, but he has no choice now. They are all acquaintances from the same village. Either he withdraws or he joins forces. He can’t just fall out over a lynx skin that he can’t even talk about, right?
“How about you make the snow pit bigger and lie down next to me?”
“Row!”
The two of them discussed the partnership in a few words, and then Zhou Yuanchao, who arrived a little later, put down the things he had brought with him and used his leg digs to dig the snow next to him.
In less than ten minutes, Zhou Yuanchao also crawled into the snow pile, and the hunting bag and other sundries he carried with him were all covered with a thin layer of snow.
Two people, two guns, each person locked onto a direction and waited patiently.
About half an hour later, just when the two thought that their morning ambush had ended, a large male lynx with sleek fur appeared from the top of the bluestone cliff with a fat rabbit in its mouth. Then, as if it had mastered light skills, it leaped down and soon landed less than ten meters outside the stone cave entrance.
“Here it comes! On the left side of the cave entrance, at one o’clock!” Zhou Yuanchao lowered his voice and reminded, then slowly turned the gun head and aimed at the target with the crosshairs.
“It’s locked!” Zhang Junhong also responded.
“Check three numbers, hug together, we each have one chance to shoot, I’ll aim at the head!”
“I’ll aim at the head too!”
If it was a single-person ambush, Zhou Yuanchao and Zhang Junhong might not have taken such a risk. After all, when hunting, the most important thing is to hit the target, not to consider the absolute perfection of the fur.
However, both of them are captains of the hunting team, and they are arrogant in front of their peers. Although they agreed to cooperate, there is definitely competition in secret.
Since you said you wanted to aim for the head, I certainly can’t be timid. Anyway, we are a team, and we have two chances to shoot. No matter who hits the target, we will share the benefits of the prey together.
“321, bang!” Zhou Yuanchao checked three numbers, and when he said bang, he immediately pulled the trigger.
Zhang Junhong, who was standing next to him, also fired the bullet from his gun 0.5 seconds later.
I saw the lynx holding the fat hare in its mouth. Less than two centimeters above its head, a high-speed gas caused by the bullet blew away a little bit of its hair.
At this time, the cat’s super short reaction time was evident. The moment the first bullet was fired, the lynx retracted its neck and just avoided the second bullet.
The next second, the tiger cub turned around and jumped onto the big bluestone without looking back. He jumped and turned several times between the stones as if he had mastered the art of light kung fu, and soon disappeared into the mountains.
“Shit! It just grazed his scalp!” “I was a few tenths of a second late. The tiger cub was startled and shrank its head, so I missed!”
The two veteran hunters looked at each other in bewilderment.
This is the terrifying thing about cats. They are extremely agile and their reaction speed is almost the highest among all the wild beasts in the mountains.
A hunter like this who uses a 16-gauge barreled rifle only has one chance to ambush his opponent. If he misses, he will immediately flee.
Want to follow the trail? Sorry, this lynx runs faster than a roe deer on snow. It is almost impossible to catch up with it on foot, unless you arrange people to circle the area in advance.
On the other side, Yue Feng, who was lying on the ground motionless, suddenly heard gunshots coming from the direction of Tiaoshitang. His heartbeat immediately accelerated and his nerves tensed.
Shots were fired from Tiaoshitang, two gunshots with a very short interval. Because the barrel of the hanging barrel gun is a fully sealed firing method, the same 7.62mm medium-power bullet will have a muffled sound when it leaves the barrel, and the power will be greater.
In comparison, because the 56 semi-automatic is semi-automatic, the chamber pressure is slightly lower when the bullet is fired, and the gunshot will be a little crisper. An experienced gunner can distinguish the subtle differences between different firearms by ear.
Judging from the sound, it was No. 16, and two shots were fired at very short intervals, which means there were at least two people with guns staying there.
In this case, it means that they must have discovered the ambush target.
In an ambush, the old hunter’s first shot is still relatively stable. When two people shoot, the probability of taking down the prey is extremely high.
Lynx is a medium-sized cat. Although it has strong attack power and high agility, it is a fragile animal without armor. If the bullet from a barrel gun hits anywhere on its torso, the lynx will be killed.
This time the bet was lost. This stupid lynx was frightened yesterday and did not move to another den. It was still active around Tiaoshitang.
“What to do? Retreat?”
Yue Feng’s fingertips were frozen and numb, and he felt depressed. He immediately prepared to get up from where he was lying and stretch his numb hands and feet.
However, Yue Feng still underestimated the power of the northwest wind and the severe cold of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius in the early morning. He wanted to get up, but found that he had no strength and his legs were a little numb.
Just as he was distracted, Yue Feng’s eyes swept across the area above the bluestone stream, and a large beast with gray fur appeared with a rabbit in its mouth. It then made a few zigzag jumps and turns beside the pile of rocks, and soon landed near the bottom of the pond.
Seeing this scene, Yue Feng immediately held his breath.
Put the gun to its face, lock the lynx’s head in a straight line, aim intentionally and fire unintentionally, go!
boom!
A bullet hit the rabbit in the lynx’s mouth, and a cloud of blood mist rose up instantly.
However, this shot did not hurt the lynx. After a pause of a few tenths of a second, the tiger cub that was ambushed immediately jumped off the stone and hid in the pile of rocks below.
Bang bang bang.
Almost at the same time, Yue Feng’s bullets came up again. Two bullets hit the bluestone and sparks flew out. Another bullet grazed the lynx’s hind leg. The tiger cub’s body tilted but it quickly maintained its balance and got into the stone hole.
Grass! !
Yue Feng cursed in a low voice. He was a little hasty and greedy in aiming just now. If he had locked onto the neck or the side, he would have been shot down with one shot. But he was greedy and aimed at the head, and ended up missing.
However, one of the bullets fired later should have hit the target. No matter what, let’s go up to it and take a look.
Thinking of this, Yue Feng struggled to get up.
His arms and legs were all numb from the cold. He struggled to get up. A numb feeling enveloped his limbs. Soon, as Yue Feng stretched his arms and legs, blood flowed to the extremities of his limbs, and the numbness soon turned into a bearable tingling pain.
Yue Feng was so focused on checking the scene that he had no time to clean up the ambush position. He just put on his cotton shoes and skis and went over.
When he arrived nearby, Yue Feng soon made a new discovery.
In addition to the pieces of rabbit flesh that were blown up by bullets on the snow, there was also half of a lynx’s bloody hind paw between two bluestones.
The last shot still hit the lynx, but the bullet only broke the lynx’s hind claw and did not leave it alive.
Damn! You’ve got into a hole. Can you still run away?
Yue Feng looked around. Drilling a hole was an easy job. He could use fire attack. He could think of some smoke or something and the hole would be smoked out quickly.
Having made up his mind, Yue Feng fired two bullets at the stone cave below. When he found no response, he picked up a stick and knocked on the entrance of the stone cave a few times. Then he turned and left to look for branches and firewood on the sunny slope that were not buried by the snow.
