Chapter 395: Tie the Lure

Without enough useful information, even if Mr. Qiao Sanye’s team is full of talented people, they will not be able to discuss the matter.

Everyone murmured for a while, and the only reference they could use was the suggestion from Master Zou.

The person who shot secretly might have been thinking of the huge benefits of this tiger. He would make a move after the tiger’s affairs came to light.

……

On the other hand, Yue Feng’s dinner at his father-in-law’s house was coming to an end. The father and the other man drank half a catty of strong liquor each, and the dumplings became more delicious as they drank more liquor.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Yue Feng went to Wang Xiaona’s room to hang out with her for a while. It was just half past eight, so he said goodbye and went back home.

After eating and drinking, they returned home. Uncle Zhao and Uncle Chen had already had dinner at home. The old man was still worried about Yue Feng going up the mountain today and had not gone to bed yet. They both lay on the edge of the kang and listened to the broadcast on the radio.

“Uncle!” Yue Feng pushed the door open, turned around and took off his thick sheepskin coat.

“You’re back, Xiaofeng! Are you not drunk enough?” Uncle Zhao raised his head and took a look, lying there without moving.

“Hehe, I ate dumplings made by my father-in-law’s family and had dinner there! I just drank two glasses of wine, not too much!” Yue Feng said truthfully with a grin.

“Have you found out from Jianguo about Qiao San’er being shot?

This matter can be big or small. I have just discussed it with your uncle Chen. You must be careful not to be caught as a scapegoat!” Uncle Zhao warned.

Yue Feng: “I know this! I heard from my father-in-law that the higher-ups have specifically asked us to supervise the case, and it seems that they are going to solve the case within a certain time limit!

I guess there must be someone watching those who go up and down the mountain!”

“It’s okay as long as you know the plan! When you go up the mountain tomorrow, please be careful.

By the way, have the other members of the hunting team registered as hunters in the village?”

“This… it seems not! I am the only one who has the complete set of procedures!” Yue Feng scratched his head and was really stumped by the old man’s question.

The hunter identity registration system now has almost no jurisdiction. Yue Feng asked his father-in-law to help him with the procedures when he wanted to buy the 56.

Yue Feng has all the qualifications: hunter identity, gun license, and reserve militia.

As for the others, the gun in Xiaowu’s hand was borrowed from the forest farm, and the gun numbering procedures were filed with the forest farm.

The other two barreled guns belong to Uncle Zhao and Uncle Chen. They are privately modified hunting rifles. To be honest, you can use them casually without any supervision.

If it is really taken seriously, it is also an illegal firearm.

“When you go up the mountain again tomorrow, don’t take the two guns in my and your uncle Chen’s hands with you! Two 56 and a half guns, if you are smart, should be enough! And as for Xiaowu’s gun possession procedures, you should also give instructions in advance!” Uncle Zhao reminded.

“Okay! I’ll listen to you on this matter. Let’s not get into trouble!” Yue Feng nodded in agreement.

“Based on the information you shared this afternoon, your uncle Chen and I speculate that this tiger has most likely gone to Shizigou again!

If the pig offal is there tomorrow, you can start preparing to close the net!

This is the map of Shizigou. The place to tie up the decoy is here, and the place for the ambush is here!!
Tomorrow when you go up the mountain, bring your wolfskin mattress with you. It’s a tough job to compete with a tiger in patience! You must be prepared for a protracted war!”

Uncle Chen took out the map drawn on the calendar paper and gave Yue Feng a thorough explanation and guidance, reminding him of all the precautions.

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say! If the tiger doesn’t leave the area around Shizigou, I’ll stay there until the end of time!”

……

After finalizing more details for tomorrow’s climb up the mountain, Yue Feng slowly began to feel drunk and sleepy.

After pouring water from the thermos and helping the two old men wash their feet, Yue Feng checked the doors and windows and the livestock in the yard, then went back to the room, lay on the kang, turned off the lights early and went to rest.

I slept very deeply, which seemed to be due to the alcohol I drank. When I woke up the next day, I felt much less tired.

Thinking about setting up the lure, I set out more than an hour earlier than usual today.

At half past four, Yue Feng heard some noise in the kitchen and got out of bed early.

It was still dark outside, but Meng Yulan got up early to prepare breakfast for the children.

The four brothers in the hunting team ate until their mouths were drooling with the food.

After the meal, it was just past five o’clock and it was still pitch dark outside, but the hunting team had already prepared everything.

Four wolfskin mattresses and two roe deer skin blankets were all rolled up and tied to the sled. Gouzi only took the black wolf, two eagles, two living musk deer cubs, two guns, and fifty rounds of bullets.

I walked out of the village in the dark and entered the back mountain along the familiar entrance to the mountain. I don’t know if it was because it was too early, but when I passed the Chaiji Road entrance, there were no public officials watching here. I didn’t see anyone along the way, and I entered the mountain almost as usual.

Time slowly passed to after six o’clock, the sky became brighter, and they traveled much faster. By just after seven o’clock, Yue Feng and his companions had already arrived at Shizigou.

The Shizigou was extremely quiet in the early morning. After dark, the north wind blew the floating snow outside the snow shell, and most of the tiny traces were erased.

Yue Feng was worried about the tigers that might be active in this area, and was afraid that they would be scared away again, so after arriving at the general area, everyone kept silent.

The sled and the assistant team members were waiting outside. Yue Feng brought a gun loaded with bullets, and he and the Xiao Tao brother led Heilang to check the wild boars that had been arranged yesterday to go into the water.

Three and a half portions of wild boars went into the water, two of which were eaten by tigers. Both of them were eaten on the spot, which made Yue Feng quite excited.

“Brother!! Both portions are gone, and there are traces of food on the ground! This one should be a sure win!!”

Xiao Tao could not hide his excitement, because next he was going to use a gun to shoot a tiger seriously. This was the first time for Xiao Tao in his life.

Yue Feng nodded and lowered his voice: “Return!”

The two brothers crouched and quietly retreated the same way they had come. Then Yue Feng untied the half-grown musk deer that was blindfolded and tied to the sled.

“Both of the animals have gone into the water, so the tiger is probably still hiding somewhere in the west or north ditch of Shizigou!
I’ll go tie up the decoy first, and you two should clean up the snow nest!” Yue Feng whispered to Xiaowen and Xiaowu.

“Brother, do you want to go over to Tiger Leaping Cliff and take a look?” Xiaowu was quite excited when he heard this, and asked while holding the 56-and-a-half in his hand.

Yue Feng: “Let’s set up this place first. When it’s done, you dig the hole here, and Xiao Tao and I will go over there and check it out first!”

“Row!”

The tiger is most likely in Shizigou, but Tiger Leaping Cliff is not too far from this area. Since we arranged for wild boars to go into the water yesterday, we naturally have to check them all this morning.

After all, tigers are living things with legs, and no one can tell exactly where the cat is.

Yue Feng untied the rope of the musk deer, then held the musk deer by its hind legs and followed Xiao Tao to the designated location.

Tying lures is a science. You cannot tie them in an empty open area. There is no obstruction in the vast expanse of space. Even if a tiger finds its prey, it will not rush up like a stupid dog.

Yue Feng chose an area at the bottom of a ditch where a large area of ​​bushes and sparse forests met.

The personnel were lying in ambush on a high sunny slope, wearing white concealment suits, at least 130 meters away from the location where the decoy was tied.

The terrain here is high, and you can see a large area at three angles in front of you. As long as a tiger appears from a certain direction at the bottom of the ditch during normal hunting, it can almost always be discovered at the first moment.

The only drawback is that the snow pit we chose here is not strictly downwind, but in a crosswind location. However, since there is no wind today, it is not a big deal.

Yue Feng carried the musk deer to the chosen location and tied the hemp rope around the musk deer’s hips above its two hind legs.

Leaving about one and a half meters of space for movement, the rope was tied to the bottom of a bush and then the blindfold was taken off.

After arriving home, the one-eyed musk deer only drank a little water. Now that it saw the light of day again, it was very frightened and kept breathing out threats. Yue Feng ignored it at all.

Before leaving, Yue Feng pulled out the leg splinter from his leg, and without hesitation cut a bloody wound on the musk deer’s front leg and calf. Then he took Xiao Tao and walked backwards, covering the footprints with a broom, and slowly left the place.

The musk deer, which had been injured in the leg and had regained its sight, quickly struggled driven by the desire to escape.

This struggling posture gives people the feeling that it is a prey accidentally caught in a trap on the mountain.

By the time brothers Yuefeng and Xiaotao returned to the shooting position, brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu had almost cleaned up the snow cave.

An oval shallow pit. After a person lies down, it is almost level with the surrounding terrain. In the direction facing, a shooting position is built by compacting snow, which looks quite realistic.

“How’s it going, bro? Is it deep enough?”

Yue Feng nodded and said, “That’s enough. Two wolfskin mattresses and a roe deer skin blanket. You two stay here! Xiao Tao and I will go to Tiger Leaping Cliff to take a look!”

If the wild boar over there has been eaten by the tiger, we will set up a similar shooting position over there! We will come to find you at noon!”

“Okay! Just leave this to me. If Tiger dares to come, I can guarantee that I can kill it with these ten bullets!” Xiaowu patted the 56 and a half in his hand and said confidently.

“Be careful, Xiaowen, watch out for Xiaowu’s back! This tiger’s hearing is not simple, don’t let it ambush you but instead attack you!” Yue Feng reminded again.

“Don’t worry, I know what’s going on!”

Yue Feng gave a few specific instructions, then led Black Wolf and Xiao Tao onto the sled, and turned to walk towards Tiger Leaping Cliff.
