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

After Yue Feng and the three brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu followed the two young men, the third and fourth, they walked away towards Yingzuiling.

Several hunters in their thirties came up to Qian Xuegang.

Since the first time they saw Yue Feng, their eyes have been busy, and they have been looking around at the three brothers.

One of the big men with a full beard muttered with some disdain: "Old Qian, the Forestry Bureau in Fengcheng just randomly found two kids to come to our place to do the job, right?
Judging from their ages, they are probably in their early twenties at best. What abilities can they have at this age? They can probably just help out on the mountain!"

Qian Xuegang did not respond in a hurry, but turned his head to look at Secretary Sun who brought the three Yue Feng brothers to the mountain.

Secretary Sun touched his nose and said, "Boss Qian, don't look at me. This is someone brought by Director Li himself. I can't tell you the specific situation!"

"Are there only three of them? Are there no other older people with the leader or anything like that?" Qian Xuegang asked.

Secretary Sun shook his head: "No, only these three people came! I asked if our village needed to solve the accommodation problem, and Director Li said that they would stay in the city guesthouse at night, so our village didn't need to worry about it!"

Qian Xuegang continued, "The guns these guys carry are good guns, and their dogs are good dogs, but at this age, they definitely have no experience or qualifications.

I guess it must be some nobleman who is taking this opportunity to come and join in the fun!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's just be polite and greet them! The higher-ups have specifically informed us, we can't afford to offend them!"

The bearded hunter spat and muttered, "Fuck, we're all working so hard up the mountain. I hope we don't end up with them picking all the peaches."

Secretary Sun waved his hands repeatedly: "Not really, we have to be reasonable in everything! So many villagers and masters are watching, how can we say black is white?

Don't try to trip up others. Just have normal contact first. If there is anything that you feel is inappropriate, we can hold a meeting to discuss it!
This person was specially invited by the head of the Forestry Bureau. If we give him a hard time, it will be difficult to explain ourselves.

You are all our own men, please don't make things difficult for me!! "

Secretary Sun provided very thoughtful service to these hunters who came to hunt tigers. Their food, drink, defecation and urination were all of high standard. So having said that, no one continued to discuss the topic.

On the other side, Yue Feng followed the two young hunters, the third and fourth brothers, over two mountain ridges and arrived at the Yingzuiling area.

The terrain of the ridge here is a bit special. Its shape resembles an eagle's beak, hence the name.

"The traces we found this morning are right at the bottom of the ditch ahead!" Lao Si said, pointing his finger into the distance.

"Let's go down and take a look!" Yue Feng responded, and everyone immediately rushed to the bottom of the ditch.

After reaching the bottom of the pond and searching for another two hundred meters, Yue Feng discovered footprints left by a tiger on the ground.

The footprints that passed by last night are very clear. The pads, the retracted paws, the outer contours, etc. are all clearly visible.

After simply observing the footprints left by the black tiger, Yue Feng knew that this black tiger was the one he missed in the Xiaorizi underground research institute last time.

The footprints are almost exactly the same in size and proportion.

Judging from the size of the footprints, this tiger is one size smaller than the male tiger that Yuefeng hunting team killed last year. It is probably more than 300 pounds, but less than 400 pounds. The tiger's claws and footprints are half a size smaller than those of a large male tiger.

"Canglong, come here and smell it!" Yue Feng called out, and the dog immediately came over.

Canglong lay on the ground and sniffed for a while, then looked up and barked at Yue Feng several times.

"You...your dog can follow the black tiger?" The third brother felt a little surprised when he saw this scene.

Yue Feng changed his mind, smiled and shook his head to deny it: "I'm used to it and forgot it's a tiger! Dogs are afraid of tigers. Even if they recognize it temporarily, they will lose track of it in a while!

Where is the location where the tiger eats the wild boar? Take us to see it!"

"Okay, we're still ahead. We have a long way to go, about a mile!"

"It's okay, let's go!"

Soon, the group went in the opposite direction of the tiger's movement and headed towards the location where the wild boar carcass was found.

When we arrived at the eating place, a lot of pink snow foam was scattered around, and there were traces of dragging on the ground.

It was indeed a tiger eating scene. The wild boar carcass was also left at the scene without being moved. It was a small wild boar weighing less than 100 pounds. The internal organs in its abdominal cavity were almost eaten up, and half of the pig's butt was also swallowed.

If we estimate based on the weight of the wild boar, the tiger must have eaten at least thirty to forty kilograms of meat and offal last night.

"Is this the nth time that we have discovered the remains of wild animals left behind by tigers after eating?" Yue Feng asked again.

"Um, it seems... it seems... whether it's the first time or the second time, we can't tell!" The third and fourth brothers looked at each other and spoke vaguely.

Yue Feng nodded without dwelling on it any further. He followed the footprints on the ground and looked around again.

After walking about a few dozen meters toward the sunny slope, Yue Feng found an area where most of the snow had melted.

"This should be where the tiger slept last night! Its body temperature melted the snow shell, and then it froze again!" Yue Feng said with certainty.

"It looks like there's nothing here? Are you sure? We followed Qian Bashi here to take a look, but he didn't say anything!" The third brother's tone was full of obvious doubt about Yue Feng's judgment.

"Hehe, I'm just guessing! I might be wrong!"

Yue Feng grinned and didn't dwell too much on this detail.

As for hiding one's shortcomings, just know it in your heart. There is no need to argue about right or wrong.

Maybe Qian Xuegang also saw it, but just didn't say it. There were so many hunters, and they were not from the same team. He might have some considerations and concerns that Yue Feng didn't know about. It was hard to say.

"Let's go back and follow Boss Qian and the others around!"

"it is good!"

Everyone then prepared to return along the original route.

Halfway up the sunny slope, less than three hundred meters away, the Canglong next to him suddenly barked twice and rushed towards a position on the ground in front.

The visibility around was very good, and one could see a hundred meters away at a glance, so there was no danger. Yue Feng saw that Gou Zi seemed to have discovered something, so he immediately followed with his men.

When I got closer, I saw several clear tiger footprints right under the tree.

Other tiger footprints were along the bottom of the pond, heading towards the distance, but the footprints here were heading in the opposite direction.

Yue Feng just pondered it briefly in his mind, and the moment he figured it out, his heart skipped a beat.

If I'm not mistaken, when Boss Zhao and his men were observing the wild boar remains and the surrounding footprints on the spot, this tiger should have been squatting here, quietly watching the hunter team a few hundred meters away.

Such a strong psychological quality is much stronger than the male tiger that killed people last winter. You know, this thing has been surrounded and hunted for more than a week, and it still has the leisure to play hide-and-seek with the hunters who are tracking it.

Yue Feng and Xiao Wen looked at each other. Both brothers saw it, but neither of them said anything.

"Let's go, Tiger, don't stay here! Let's chase the main force!" Yue Feng said calmly.

"Oh, it's gone! You guys think this tiger is quite interesting. It doesn't walk under the ditch, but takes a detour and squats halfway up the sunny slope!" The fourth brother couldn't help but sigh.

Yue Feng didn't respond, but he already had the answer in his heart.

At the bottom of the pond, the line of sight is low, so you can see and hear closely. It gets much better when you reach the waist level.

This is to keep a safe distance of several hundred meters away and play hide and seek all the time.

Several people followed the same path they came from and chased after them.

At about half past nine, Yue Feng and his three companions reunited with the hunting team led by Qian Xuegang.

"Boss Xiao Yue, how is it? Any new discoveries?" Qian Xuegang asked politely.

Yue Feng smiled and nodded: "The claws and footprints of this tiger are half a size smaller than the footprints of a male tiger we hunted last year!

From this point of estimation, its weight is about 300 to 400 kilograms! If it is an adult tiger, it is most likely a tigress!

In addition, about thirty to forty kilograms of meat and internal organs were eaten from the remains of the wild boar!
This means that it basically does not need to eat for the next three to five days!

I don’t know if it will leave early. A tiger with plenty of energy can walk dozens of miles in the mountains in a day!”

Qian Xuegang shook his head: "You don't have to worry about this. Based on the experience we have gained in recent times, this tiger seems to know that we are trying to catch it, but it is not afraid!
Although its position moves every day, it has never escaped in a straight line!
Most of the time, they circle around in a certain range. If we chase them more closely, they will circle bigger. If we chase them less closely, they have even spent the night in the same mountain twice!"

"This...what do you think caused it to be like this?"

After listening to this, Yue Feng was quite happy in his heart.

The most frightening thing is that the tiger will run away thousands of miles away at the sight of the enemy.

If it can continue to move within a certain range, the success rate of capturing it alive using a pit will be greatly increased.

“I guess it wants to hunt us hunters who come into the mountains!
This guy's behavior is different from the tigers passed down by the older generation of hunters. The hunters it attacked and killed before were all gutted by it..."

“Damn…” Yue Feng took a breath when he heard this.

This black tiger is a man-eating monster! If it weren’t for its mutated fur, it would have been legally hunted long ago.

“So, when we go up the mountain to look for his trace, we must bring more people with us and we can’t take it lightly!
Once we have the trap and the net ready, we should be able to catch it!"

Yue Feng nodded when he heard this: "So, where should we go next? Should we search the surrounding areas that have not been searched before?"

"Yes! Follow the tiger's footprints and see where it is! We just need to make sure we don't lose track of it completely before we finish digging the trap!"

"Okay! I'll follow your hunting team today!"

"No problem, we can definitely guarantee your safety with our numbers!"

……

After a brief communication, Qian Xuegang led the hunting team and continued to track the tiger's tracks.

For the next day, Yue Feng and his two brothers, along with their dog, followed the main force.

This kind of mountain search operation involves more than ten people. Not to mention tigers, even wild boars and roe deer would hide far away and cannot be seen when they hear the noise.

Its real purpose is to confirm the tiger's tracks.

In comparison, Yue Feng did more preparatory work.

While searching on the road, Yue Feng memorized the surrounding mountains and terrain in his mind, and a local mountain and forest topography map gradually took shape in his mind.

They followed the hunting team and wandered around the mountain until nearly dusk, when they returned to the parking lot and went down the mountain.

When Qian Xuegang saw that the vehicles used by the Yue Feng brothers were two three-wheeled military motorcycles that the Municipal Bureau did not have, and that they had military license plates, he became more certain of Secretary Sun's guess.

These three young men must be relatives of some leader. They came here to join in the fun or even to take advantage of the opportunity to pick some peaches.

Vehicles carrying people, hunting dogs, etc. went down the mountain in a mighty procession.

Yue Feng and his three brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu also returned to Huangtupozi Village.

"Captain Yue, it's your first day in our village. Don't be in a hurry to leave at night. Come to my house for a quick meal before leaving?" Secretary Sun found Yue Feng and invited him politely.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "Forget about the meal, the guesthouse provides meals, so it won't be a burden to our village! When we catch the tiger, we can have a celebratory drink!
Can you take me to see Wang Yansheng, the head of the royal family? I want to know the progress of digging pits on the mountain today! I will go back to rest after chatting for a few minutes!"

"Of course! The leader Wang lives in the village office. I'll take you there!"

"it is good!"

Yue Feng and his two brothers followed Secretary Sun straight to the village office, where Yue Feng met the commander-in-chief of this tiger hunting operation, Wang Yansheng.

Secretary Sun introduced them, "Captain Wang, this is Captain Xiao Yue who came from Fengcheng! I wanted to invite him to have dinner in the village. He has other plans, but he wanted to come over to say hello to you and get to know you!"

"Heroes emerge from youth! Hello, Xiao Yue!"

Wang Yansheng had already known what happened on the mountain today through Lao Qian. To be honest, he looked down on the three young Yue Feng brothers.

It is a truth that a man without any knowledge of the subject cannot do the job well. In the profession of mountain hunters, the younger the man, the less experience he has, almost without exception.

However, he seems to have a background, and even if he looks down on others in his heart, he will not offend them for no reason.

"Hello, Boss Wang! I want to know from you how our digging plan is going today!"

"Today, a total of 35 villagers went up the mountain and identified four locations for digging pits! They used the fire method to dig the pits. The deepest pit was about one and a half meters, and the shallowest was less than one meter. It was a jumping stone pond, full of rocks, and difficult to dig!"

"How deep do we plan to dig?"

"If you want to trap a tiger, you have to start with a depth of at least three meters, and then add a hanging net on top to have a chance!

What, do you have any ideas? Tell me about it!" (End of this chapter)
