Chapter 385 This is not glorious
“What’s going on, Xiaonian? Take your time and don’t be anxious!!”

Yue Feng took out a stool from the inner room and handed it to Wang Xiaonian in front of him.

Facing the stares of everyone at the table, Wang Xiaonian gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Qiao will continue to organize people to go up the mountain today.

Near the Shilazigou, the tiger was trapped again. We fired a few shots but missed! The big guy ran away again! “

“Huh? That’s it? We…” Xiao Tao was ready to continue after hearing this.

“Xiao Tao, shut up and stop interrupting!” Yue Feng pulled Xiao Tao who was standing next to him, and the guy finally realized that he had said something out of turn.

Stopping Xiao Tao from interrupting, Yue Feng raised his head and continued to look at Wang Xiaonian: “And then? Xiaonian, keep talking!”

Wang Xiaonian is smarter than a monkey. When he saw Xiao Tao interrupting, he knew that Yue Feng had probably already gotten the news in advance.

He paused for two seconds and continued, “The tiger running away is the first sign!! I am not just talking about this!

You can find out this stuff by just asking around, but it’s not valuable intelligence!”

“Yes, that’s right! I won’t argue with you if you say that! I also heard about it in the afternoon!” Yue Feng looked at Wang Xiaonian calmly.

Wang Xiaonian continued: “What I want to say is that many people have backed out of this anti-tiger operation!
When we were going down the mountain around noon today, many people were mumbling and saying that they would not come tomorrow!

Brother Feng, since you are interested in this thing, you must have some ideas. I think the news that the tiger hunting team organized by Kaoshantun has disbanded is quite useful!”

“I see! That’s really useful news!
By the way, you didn’t come last night. Including today, we have been hunting tigers in the mountains for these two days. Did anyone shoot this tiger?
How is the second child injured? Is he okay? “

“I should have come here yesterday, but I was still a little overwhelmed. I only felt better after I went home and had a good sleep!
Yesterday, the second child fired a shot from less than 20 meters away. The bullet flew past his neck. It probably didn’t hit him, or if it did, it just grazed him.

The two hunters who were shooting in the mountains today discovered the traces of a tiger from more than a hundred meters away. They fired rashly and didn’t even hit the tiger’s hair!

The second child’s gun was probably the one that suffered the most. The four dogs he brought up the mountain were all killed by the tiger, and the newly acquired barreled shotgun was also slapped firmly by the tiger, so that the barrel and the gun head were deformed!

The only good news is that he only has fractured ribs and sternum and needs to rest for a while, but there is nothing wrong with him otherwise!

The money for the inspection in the city was paid by the Kaoshantun Village Office!”

Wang Xiaonian poured out all the information he knew in one go.

Yue Feng nodded after listening to it: “Okay, I have all the information you mentioned! Is there anything else you need to add?”

Wang Xiaonian shook his head, hesitating, and said, “I think there are at least three groups of people who are eyeing this tiger!
If we want to get a piece of the pie, we have to rely on gathering intelligence in the village, but the lag is too great!

That big tiger was even bigger than a calf. I saw it up close with my own eyes!
If the hunters organized by Kaoshantun disband, I won’t dare to venture into the mountains! I won’t be able to get more first-hand information! “

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay, I’ll think about it. Then, Xiaowen, give Xiaonian one of the roe deer legs we just cut apart!”

Xiaowen: “Hey! Good!”

“This… is a bit too much! Thank you, Brother Feng!!”

When Wang Xiaonian saw the roe deer leg that Xiaowen brought in from outside the house, he immediately smiled.

“Not much! This is not the first time we’ve dealt with each other. Keep your mouth shut and don’t spread rumors. Give me more of what I deserve! Come, have some more tea!”

Seeing Yue Feng was about to pour tea, Wang Xiaonian knew that it was time for him to leave: “No, don’t pour it, I have something else to do at home, I’ll tell you clearly that it’s time to go back!”

“Okay, I’ll take you there!” Yue Feng stood up and escorted Wang Xiaonian out the door.

After returning, Xiaowen asked, “Brother, the New Year is coming, should I go to ask Uncle?”

Yue Feng shook his head: “That’s basically the situation, there’s no need to ask anymore!
Uncle Zhao, Uncle Chen, what do you think about this matter? What should we do next? “

Chen Pao and Uncle Zhao looked at each other and both shook their heads.

“Continue to follow up according to the original plan?”

Uncle Zhao: “Yes! Tomorrow there will definitely be fewer people entering the mountain. The remaining people will not be able to complete the operation of driving the tigers, so the chances of seeing tigers will be even smaller.

Bring out the map, and we’ll think about it and continue tomorrow!”

So, for the next hour or so, the group, under the planning of the two veteran hunters, re-circled the suspected tiger activity area.

It was not until after eight o’clock that the brothers who had made plans to go up the mountain dispersed and went home to rest.

After the three members of the hunting team had left, Yue Feng closed the gate and prepared to wait on the two old men to warm their feet before going to bed on the kang, when Uncle Chen spoke again.

“Xiao Feng, put the foot basin aside first. I had something to say to Lao Zhao in front of my brothers just now, but it’s not convenient for me to say it. Now I’m telling you. Go and get ready!”

“Ah? What are you talking about? There’s no need to do this behind your own people’s backs!” Yue Feng was slightly stunned when he heard the old man say that.

After all, he had no secrets with his brothers. Yue Feng was a little surprised that the old man avoided talking to the three brothers of the hunting team.

“This is not a glorious thing. If more people know about it, it won’t be good! That’s why I didn’t tell Lao Zhao in person!”

“Well! You talk, I’m listening!”

Yue Feng nodded and didn’t dwell on it. The old man had lived to such an old age, so he must have his considerations and intentions for choosing to do this.

“Go to your other uncle Zhao at the village entrance and ask for some dog poison!

The scattered troops in Kaoshantun have been disbanded, and the real competition has just begun! ! “

When Yue Feng heard the words “dog poison”, his heart skipped a beat.

Ever since Uncle Chen and Uncle Zhao said it was not a good thing, Yue Feng was mentally prepared.

When Yue Feng heard the old man mention the words “dog poison”, he roughly understood what the old man meant.

“You mean, we should destroy Qiao San’s tracking dog?” Yue Feng asked in a low voice.

Uncle Chen nodded and said, “Yes! After the hunters in Kaoshan Village dispersed, the area that can be targeted has been greatly reduced. If we want to continue chasing this tiger, we can only rely on the dog that can track the tiger’s scent!
Ordinary dogs don’t dare to follow the scent of tigers. They will lose their scent after walking a few steps. If this dog stops scenting for a day, the tiger will be out of control!”

“But, isn’t this a bit unfair? We are all hunters, so it’s hard to train a good dog.

We don’t have any grudges against Mr. Qiao San, because I think it’s inappropriate for a tiger to be poisoned to death by someone else’s dog…” Yue Feng looked embarrassed.

He is not the kind of indecisive person, but Yue Feng also has his own bottom line and principles.

If it is a fair competition based on each person’s ability, Yue Feng can accept the result regardless of winning or losing.

But the advice given by the two uncles was a bit off the mark, and Yue Feng was somewhat unable to accept it.

“Who told you to poison someone’s dog! Old Zhao has been good at using poisoned bait since his ancestors. Just make the dog vomit and have diarrhea and delay its work for a day, that’s enough! You have a good relationship with Old Zhao, so he will definitely be able to do it!” Uncle Chen added.

Uncle Zhao continued, “You are a kind and righteous child! But in this society, kind people will always suffer losses!

What do you think Qiao Saner is doing by gathering people together and donating bounties? Is it because he has money but nowhere to spend it?

They all said that he just loved hunting and was not interested in hunting anything, so he shared it out with his subordinates. Then why didn’t he share the Siberian leopard he killed in Tiecheng in 75?

As soon as the prey was carried down the mountain, officials from the city came. In the end, each hunter who went up the mountain received a few dozen yuan of bounty and the matter was over. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask the knowledgeable hunters about it!

This tiger has not appeared in the back mountain for decades. A complete adult tiger is more than just a skin. Tiger penis, tiger skin, tiger meat, tiger bones, that represents so many resources!

The document has been issued from above, and if we ordinary hunters kill something, we can only hand it over to the higher authorities for processing. What about Qiao San?
There is a 10 percent chance that they will find a way to secretly intercept it through personal connections!

Is this situation fair to us?

Besides, Uncle Chen and I are not asking you to poison dogs at other people’s homes. You can just take some bait that dogs like and will cause diarrhea but is not fatal and scatter it on the mountain. What’s wrong with that?”

After listening to what Uncle Zhao said, Yue Feng was obviously more accepting.

Yue Feng couldn’t do a job that would harm someone else’s dog’s life, but he could barely accept it if he could delay the hunting dogs’ patrolling the mountains for a day.

Thinking about what Uncle Zhao had said about what the other party had done in the past, Yue Feng accepted this operation.

Since it is unfair to begin with, there won’t be much psychological pressure for the Eight Immortals to show off their magical powers.

“Okay, then I’ll go to Mr. Zhao’s house at the village entrance to see if he has the bait you mentioned!” Yue Feng nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go before it’s dark. This matter needs to be kept quiet. No one else should mention it. Only us guys know about it!”

“it is good!”

……

Having made up his mind, Yue Feng stopped hesitating and dug out a roe deer leg from the snow nest, and went to Mr. Zhao’s house at the village entrance with a flashlight.

Leaving aside the pleasantries, Yue Feng did not mention what he wanted the bait for specifically. He only stated his request. Uncle Zhao readily took out a cloth bag from the warehouse that was wrapped in many layers of mask gauze and had been hanging on the beam until it was covered with dust.

Master Zhao knew Yue Feng’s character, so he didn’t say much when giving him the bait. He just reminded him to be careful that this thing is extremely harmful to dogs, so he must keep an eye on the dogs at home to prevent them from accidentally eating it.

After returning home with the prepared bait, Yue Feng followed Mr. Zhao’s advice and used a large bowl, took some clean water, and soaked the bait in the water.
