Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

The hunting team set out from the breeding farm and headed northwest along Chaiji Road.

The first half of the mountain road is relatively comfortable. After all, the Chaiji Road is maintained by people, and you can easily walk six or seven kilometers in an hour.

The only drawback was that Coal Ball, who was mixed in with the dogs, was quite stimulating to the borrowed horses.

Even bears raised by humans carry a unique smell on their bodies, and if they get too close, horses will be frightened and become restless.

At this time, Uncle Wu's years of rich experience in mountain running came to the fore.

No one knew what was in the small bottle he took out from his luggage, but when he put a little bit of white odorless powder near the horse's nose, the frightened horse quickly calmed down.

The speed of six or seven kilometers per hour did not put much pressure on Gouzi and Coal Ball. Coal Ball, who was lively in temperament, would even go back and forth between the head and middle of the team to play around.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon when we walked.

Wu Keji and his group have left the Chaiji Road area of ​​the forest farm. Everyone is tired, so they take a break and have a meal!

Thinking about continuing the journey, the lunch was quite simple.

Boil snow water in a big pot. After the water boils, add some dried mushrooms and dried meat to make soup. The staple food is wild boar meat and green onion stuffed buns steamed by my mother.

When the fire is lit, put the buns in a circle next to the fire and roast them. When the mushroom and meat soup in the pot is ready, drink the soup and eat the buns. It is a good meal.

Lunch was almost ready here, and Wu Keji walked back from the ridge in front.

"Uncle, the meal is ready, you can take a rest!" Yue Feng asked with concern.

Wu Keji waved his hand: "This little distance won't tire me out! The direction is fine, we should be right if we go through the ridge ahead!"

While speaking, Wu Keji patted the snow foam on his boots, walked up to the crowd, and touched the top of Meiqiu's head.

Coal Ball was at an age when he was lively and active. When he saw Uncle Wu playing with him, he stretched out his paws and gently hugged his trouser legs.

"Hey, you little troublemaker, let me go! You want to get involved, right?" Uncle Wu was in a very good mood when he saw Coal Ball playing with him, and said with a smile.

Yue Feng explained: "I'm asking you for candy! Uncle, you don't know how greedy the coal briquettes are!"

"Old Zhao is really good at it. He even came up with the idea of ​​putting armor on the blind bear and using it as a heavy towing dog!

Do you have any candy in your pocket? Give me some. This thing is so good, it's so flattering! "

Wu Keji was not angry and continued to play with Meiqiu.

Yue Feng took out some candy and handed it to Grandpa Wu. The old man lovingly fed Meiqiu two pieces of candy. After eating the candy, Meiqiu really spread his legs.

"Hey, he let go of the candy as soon as he got it! This guy is not stupid, he has a smart brain! He is working with the hunting team in front, how is his actual performance?" Uncle Wu continued to ask.

Yue Feng: "Not bad, this guy is quite smart and can understand what people say!
Before, it followed my master in the mountains around the farm and encountered wild boars and other things, and it participated in many actual combats!

I have learned almost everything I need to learn from my master!
A few days ago, we went into the mountains to chase the wild boar king, and it was there. This guy was not afraid at all when facing the wild boar king which was several sizes larger than him.

Seeing that all its companions were in place, it roared fiercely and rushed forward! Relying on its large size and armor on its vital parts, it was not cunning at all when charging into the formation!
Look at the scratch on the left shoulder, it was caused by the wild boar king's fangs!"

When Meiqiu heard Yue Feng talking about his heroic deeds, he reached out and patted his scratched leather armor, as if to say, "My master is talking about this part of the leather armor!"

"Oh, okay! I get it, stop gesturing, I saw it!!"

Uncle Wu nodded repeatedly and was very kind and gentle to the bear cub.

At this moment, Wu Keji doesn't look like a mountain runner roaring in the mountains, but more like an old man coaxing his grandson.

After playing with the coal balls for a while, the broth in the pot was ready. Xiaowen reminded, "Uncle, Brother Feng, the soup is ready, let's eat!"

Wu Keji nodded: "Okay, let's eat!
Everyone needs to eat more for this meal. I plan to camp near Hongling East Valley tonight. It should be quite late after dinner!"

Yue Feng: "Okay, then I'll listen to you and eat more!"

Soon, everyone started to share the soup, and then each person had an aluminum lunch box filled with soup and ate it with the hot meat buns.

Yue Feng quickly filled his stomach and took out the fresh meat wrapped in cabbage leaves from his arms.

With a whistle, two falcons, the big black eagle and the small white eagle, fell from the sky.

Wu Keji felt the wind pressure of the raptor swooping down, looked up and asked casually, "We don't usually have to worry about this eagle, why is it always following us in the sky?

What if the forest is dense, or the treetops block the sky, so you can't see people in the sky?"

Yue Feng grinned and said, "We don't have to see people all the time, as long as we can show our position once in a while, they can catch up!

These two eagles have been trained to be fully alive. However, they were not fed well when we set out in the morning. We will feed them at noon when we eat, and we will not have to worry about them until we camp at night!"

"Tsk tsk, these two eagles are also popular, very good!

I saw the young eagle your grandfather raised a few times. It is far inferior to the two eagles you have now!"

Yue Feng used a dagger to cut slices of meat and fed them to Big Black Eagle while saying, "Haha, sir, do you like it? When you have cubs next spring, I'll give you a pair!"

Wu Keji waved his hand: "I didn't go up the mountain to hunt, so it would be a waste if you gave me this thing! You should keep it as a breeding bird to expand the population!

Last night I heard from your master that the pair of white eagles he had were also put to work. If I want to have them later, I can come to the farm to play with your master!"

"Those two are the cubs bred by this pair of eagles this spring!"

"This thing looks so cool! Especially this black one!"

"Hey, of course! Come on, Big Black Eagle, have another piece!!"

While Yue Feng was speaking, he cut another piece of meat and handed it to Big Black Eagle. The little guy swallowed it in one gulp very politely.

We were eating, chatting and taking a short break when suddenly we heard a muffled gunshot from the southeast.

As soon as the gunshot was heard, Wu Keji's expression immediately froze. He put down the lunch box in his hand, turned sideways towards the direction where the sound came from, held his breath, and listened quietly.

I don’t know what the old man could hear with such a strong mountain wind. Yue Feng took a look and continued to feed the eagle.

For five full minutes, the old man stood there motionless.

Yue Feng reminded him with concern: "Uncle, eat! If you wait any longer, the soup will get cold! It was just a gunshot. It must be a hunter nearby going into the mountains to hunt!"

Wu Keji shook his head: "There seems to be something wrong with the shot just now!!"

"Something's wrong. What does it mean?" Yue Feng was slightly stunned, his curiosity aroused.

Wu Keji said calmly: "From the noise, it should be a modified Juebazi playing alone! But the sound of a normal Juebazi is not so loud!

It gives me a feeling, as if... as if a manually reloaded bullet had too much gunpowder added to it!"

"You never know. What if the bullets are reloaded?"

"There's no need to load more gunpowder in a reloaded gun. The amount of gunpowder in an ordinary 7.62 medium-power bullet is enough to knock down even a blind bear with one shot. Loading more gunpowder will only increase the risk of barrel explosion. There's no benefit at all!" "That's the job of an incompetent!" Xiao Tao also came up and said casually.

“I’m afraid this is the only reasonable explanation!

Everyone, eat quickly. Traveling deep into the mountains is different from hunting near a gathering area. There are many things to pay attention to. During the journey, as long as you don’t encounter something right under your nose and can’t avoid it, don’t worry too much. If you can hide, hide. If you can give way, give way!" Wu Keji added.

"I'm stuffed!"

“We’re full too!”

"Then let's pack up and start our journey again!"

After the gunshot in the woods, there was no more movement.

At the urging of Uncle Wu, Yue Feng and his group packed up their tableware and iron pots, and soon set off again towards the depths of the forest.

On the other side, on a ridge not far from where the gunshots had just been heard, a middle-aged man wrapped in a white camouflage coat waited patiently for more than half an hour before climbing up from his prone shooting position.

This middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, with an untidy beard and a bit dirty. The most striking feature was that he had an eye patch on his left eye, leaving only one eye exposed. His eyeball was cloudy, and there was a cruel light flashing in his light blue pupils.

"Bah! You are smart. You can suppress your curiosity!" The one-eyed dragon spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, put on the hunting bag next to him, quickly turned over and walked down the ridge, disappearing into the forest.

After the sudden gunfire during lunch, the hunting team entering the mountains in the afternoon clearly quickened their pace.

Uncle Wu was a very fast runner. They had originally planned to set up camp in Honglinggou around dark, but just after four o'clock, when it was still light, Wu Keji asked everyone to stop.

Wu Keji pointed to the chosen camping spot and said, "I got it mixed up, we won't be able to make it to Honglinggou today.

This area is sheltered from the wind, and there is a big gentle slope ahead, which takes nearly a day to walk across!

Everyone, set up camp and prepare dinner. I'm going to go take a look around!"

After hearing Wu Keji's arrangement, no one else had any objection, but Yue Feng was slightly stunned.

At noon, they said they would set up camp later in the evening. Yue Feng was mentally prepared to travel in the dark, but now they set up camp before it got dark, and his legs and feet were obviously much faster throughout the afternoon.

"Uncle, can I accompany you?" Yue Feng asked casually.

Wu Keji waved his hand: "No, just stay in the camp!"

"All right!"

Soon, Old Wu disappeared into the woods.

Yue Feng didn't know what the old man was up to. Since he didn't say anything, Yue Feng naturally wouldn't ask. He would wait until he came back and ask if he was willing to tell him.

Yue Feng and a few of his friends unloaded the luggage from the horses and set up camp.

By the time the tent was set up and the fire was lit, it was completely dark outside, but Wu Keji hadn't come back yet.

Xiaowen approached Yuefeng and asked, "Brother, why has the old man been out for so long? It's been more than an hour! Is there anything wrong?"

"It shouldn't happen! I'm an old hand, and I'm not going to capsize in such a small situation!"

"Could it be because of the gunshot at noon?" Xiaowen thought deeply about the problem, so he asked with a hint of meaning.

Yue Feng shook his head: "I don't know either, it's possible!

I'll find another chance to ask you when I get back! Let the dogs go, if there's anything unusual, everyone should be smart! "

"it is good!"

……

Just when we had settled down in the camp and were making a fire to cook dinner.

On a poplar tree that was about one kilometer away from the campsite, next to the ridgeline, it was so thick that two people could hug it.

Wu Keji was like an agile monkey, lying quietly on the fork of the tree trunk without moving, his eyes fixed on the empty forest below except for the trees.

The old man had been squatting on the tree trunk for about half an hour, but the expected possibility did not happen.

"Did I guess wrong?" Wu Keji thought to himself.

After patiently hiding in the tree for another half an hour, Wu Keji climbed down from the tree, carefully covered up the footprints left on the edge of the tree, and turned around to head towards the camp.

He had not walked for ten minutes when the one-eyed man from the afternoon caught up with him, following the footprints of the hunting team in the afternoon.

If Uncle Wu hadn't left, he could have used his high ground vision advantage to spot the person following him, with a difference of only ten minutes.

Wu Keji came back from the night, but did not go directly into the camp. Instead, he walked around the outskirts of the camp.

The camp warning device that Yue Feng learned last time has been set up. The location is chosen very cleverly, and it uses readily available items such as cans.

"Tsk tsk, I taught you that last time. This time when I go up the mountain, you remember to use it without being reminded. Not bad!"

Wu Keji muttered to himself, looked around, took out several thin steel wires with extremely strong toughness from his waist, and very cleverly arranged them in several seemingly inconspicuous locations near the alarm mechanism.

After setting up the special mechanism, Wu Keji carefully removed the footprints and returned to the side of the camp gate before entering the house normally.

"Uncle, why did you come back just now? You must be cold, drink some hot water to warm yourself up!" Yue Feng brought a cup of hot water and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just go out for a walk! Did you set up the cordon around the camp?" Wu Keji asked.

"Yeah! Didn't you teach me last time that I should be extra careful when I go out at night? I happened to have some cans, so I got a few!" Yue Feng nodded and said.

"Okay, good! We'll be on guard duty tonight! There are many of us, so we'll take turns on duty. After dinner, take a good rest!
If you want to reach the core area of ​​Wangtian Mountain, it will take at least four days! It gets dark too early now, and the time for traveling every day is too limited! "

"Well, I have arranged the night duty. There are dogs and coal briquettes beside me. You can just rest assured!"

"it is good!"

……

Yue Feng almost couldn't help asking the old man what was wrong several times, but seeing that Wu Keji had no intention of explaining, he didn't take the initiative to ask.

After a whole day's journey, everyone was extremely tired. After eating and drinking, except for the man on duty, everyone else quickly went to bed in their clothes, and the sound of them falling asleep could be heard.

Wu Keji felt a little uneasy. The gunshot during the day had a sense of unreasonableness.

Someone who can even reload his gun with extra bullets would never go so deep into the mountains and forests to hunt.

A gun is a hunter's second life, and no one is willing to take the risk of a bullet exploding at any time.

This is the first lesson the master taught when I was an apprentice gun hunter!

Unless, that was the sound of gunfire used to lure people closer to investigate. (End of this chapter)
