Captain Liu, who had a full beard on his face, frowned and said, "This is a good roe deer belly, why are you hanging it on the tree?
Those young masters don't care about it, so we can't waste it! Xiao Ma, just keep a piece of the internal organs, and take the remaining two pieces off, and we'll take them back and eat them!"

Xiao Ma responded and reached out to grab the smallest piece.

"What are you thinking about? Leave the small one here and take down the two big ones!" Liu Bashi couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh, I know!"

Soon, the two roe deer were taken out of the water. Several people hung them on sticks, carried them on their shoulders and continued walking.

"Captain, it seems that those young hunters have pretty good marksmanship. They killed at least three roe deer at one time!" Xiao Ma muttered softly beside him.

Captain Liu curled his lips and muttered unconvincedly: "Nonsense, don't you even look at what kind of weapon he is holding!
56 and a half! It's not the single-barreled gun we have!
What does a ten-round capacity mean? If I had a five- or six-and-a-half-round rifle, I would be able to deal with not only roe deer, but also a herd of wild boars and blind bears on my own!

When we find those young hunters later, if they don't ask, don't mention going into the water, okay?"

"profound!"

……

The team chatted for a while, and the bearded man, with his companions behind him, quickly followed the direction of the footprints and chased after the Yue Feng hunting team.

The further he walked, the more the bearded man's brows furrowed, and he was heading towards Yanwangweizi.

There is a big snow pit over there. Not to mention that it is almost spring now, even in the coldest days of winter, no one would want to stroll there. If you are not careful and fall into the snow pit, you may lose your life.

Out of curiosity, the bearded man continued to follow the footprints and caught up with them. In less than an hour, he met Yue Feng and his three brothers.

"Master Xiao Yue! Wait a minute!" shouted Master Liu with a beard.

Hearing the noise, Yue Feng and the other two stopped.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Yue Feng had seen this familiar bearded face before and asked politely.

Liu led the others to chase after them at a trot: "Wang asked me to come here to inform you that some villagers who were digging a pit were ambushed by the black tiger this morning, and almost got into trouble!"

Upon hearing the news, Yue Feng felt a little unhappy.

Secretary Sun is so damn irresponsible. I clearly reminded him in the morning, but he turned a deaf ear to it and it didn't work at all.

"How's the person? Is there something wrong?" Yue Feng asked, suppressing his anger.

"It's OK. The man was knocked down by the tiger, and the tiger took a bite of the collar of his sheepskin coat, but he wasn't hurt!"

"Where's the tiger?"

"It seemed that the tiger was scratched by the hatchet and ran away without fighting!"

"Okay, I got it!" Yue Feng felt relieved when he heard that the person was fine.

"Well, where are you going? What Wang Baotou means is that if you have nothing else to do, try not to act alone. After all, it is too unsafe with a small number of people!" Liu Bashi still gave a reminder.

"Oh, okay! Then let's go to the place where the tiger attacked. Is it far away? Please lead the way!"

"It's not far! It won't take more than half an hour to get there in a straight line after crossing this ridge! It's over there on Tiaoshitang!"

"Yes! Please, Mr. Liu, lead the way!"

Yue Feng responded and stepped aside, signaling the bearded man to lead the way.

At this time, Yue Feng discovered that several of his companions were carrying roe deer on poles into the water.

The originally irritable mood suddenly calmed down a lot.

Having all experienced hard times, Yue Feng naturally understood the mentality of these people.

Three bodies were put into the water, but they only took two with them, which means that leaving one for the mountain god was not considered a violation of the rules.

They think that killing a roe deer here is just ordinary meat to feed the panda bears, but in the eyes of ordinary hunters like them, even if it goes into the water, it is still a valuable thing. After going back to wash and clean it, they can have a meal of meat.

Reminding Secretary Sun to pay attention to safety might be an oversight, and it would not be good to take it too seriously.

After all, from beginning to end, these hunters and village leaders were quite polite to the members of Yue Feng's team in person.

After calming down a lot, Yue Feng felt much more relaxed while following behind. On the way, Yue Feng also asked some harmless little questions and chatted casually, just to kill time.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Liu Baotou, Yue Feng, his two companions and a dog arrived at Tiaoshitang where the incident occurred.

"Xiaoyue, are you all right?"

Wang Yansheng was still here, and when he saw Yue Feng and the other two following him, he greeted them with a smile.

Yue Feng grinned and said, "Nothing! I followed the map you gave me and looked around the area. I was lucky and killed a few roe deer!

We are staying in the guesthouse, so we don't have to worry about food and drink. We will keep one of the three roe deer for ourselves, and use the remaining two as a dish for everyone! Xiao Tao, Xiao Wu, leave your roe deer for Wang Baotou!"

"Oh!" Without even stuttering, the two brothers casually put the roe deer they had dragged all the way in front of Wang Yansheng.

"Then we have to thank you! These two roe deer can produce at least dozens of kilograms of meat!"

While speaking, Wang Yansheng observed the roe deer on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

There were two of them, one big and one small. The big one was shot in the lung and died instantly.

The smaller one had no bullet holes on its body, but dark red blood was flowing from its ears.

Wang Yansheng was also an expert hunter. He could tell at a glance that the roe deer that was kicked to death by an eagle did not die from a gun.

He walked up to the little roe deer, turned it over to take a look, then touched the roe deer's head with his hand. When he found a depression behind its ear, his expression moved slightly with curiosity.

"Master Xiao Yue, how did you kill this roe deer? Didn't you see any bullet wounds on its body?"

Yue Feng grinned: "Haha, this little roe deer was kicked to death by my eagle!"

"Eagle? I didn't see you guys bring an eagle with you?"

When Wang Yansheng heard the word "eagle", his eyes subconsciously swept over Yue Feng's two companions.

None of the three men had an eagle in their hands.

Just when Wang Yansheng was puzzled, Yue Feng grinned, put his fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly.

咻~~~
The next second after the whistle sounded, the high-frequency vibration sound of a feather diving through the air at high speed came.

One black and one white, two top-quality gyrfalcons dropped from the sky and landed very affectionately on Yue Feng's arms.

"Ah! You..." "What the hell! What kind of eagle is this!"

The people nearby were all shocked by this move.

Wang Yansheng had been roaming the mountains and forests for decades and had seen many falconry experts, but most of them only used goshawks to catch pheasants and rabbits. The only exception was a skilled falconer who only used a golden eagle to catch foxes in the meadows.

However, the young men in front of them were not only extremely skilled in using the Eagle Swords in their hands, but they could even kick a half-grown roe deer to death.

This time, not only Wang Yansheng was surprised, even the bearded Liu Baotou, who had been pessimistic about Yue Feng's team before, could no longer hold back.

"What kind of eagle is this? I've seen common big eagles and golden eagles, but I've never seen this kind of eagle!" Wang Yansheng asked curiously.

"Haha, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Boss Wang. This is a gyrfalcon. There are fewer of them on ordinary days, so it's not that easy to see!"

Yue Feng pretended to be calm and touched the eagle's tail and chest with his hands. The big black eagle behaved quite obediently, with its eyes narrowed and a look of enjoyment on its face.

"Gyrfalcon? It's a rare thing! In ancient times, it would have been presented to the emperor!"

Although Wang Yansheng did not call out the nickname of the Saker Falcon, he knew that this gyrfalcon was not a common creature.

"Thank you for the compliment. I just kept it for fun! Where did the tiger attack the people? Let's go check for footprints! Have you sent someone to follow it?"

Wang Yansheng: "Old Qian has brought people to follow! I'll take you there!"

Yue Feng nodded and raised his arms. The two eagles immediately flapped their wings and took off. They soon hovered and climbed high above his head.

Just this one move was enough to change the mindset of the hunters who witnessed it.

Who says young hunters are incompetent? Their eagles can follow their owners in the woods for half a day or even longer, and can hunt roe deer. This is far beyond the capabilities of most ordinary hunters who claim to be extraordinary.

“This villager, who did not follow the captain’s request to act in groups, came here with a small hatchet and wanted to chop down some dead pine trees, but was ambushed by a tiger!

Look, this is the first scene where the tiger attacked him!" Wang Yansheng brought Yue Feng here and explained politely.

Yue Feng nodded and began to observe the footprints and other traces on the ground.

The direction of the people's footprints and the light yellow urine marks on the ground allowed Yue Feng to imagine their positions and states at the time.

From the footprints on the ground, it can be seen that the tiger attacked the man from behind, standing on its hind paws and knocking him down nearly one meter away from where the man was standing.

Yue Feng said nothing and looked back along the footprints left by the tiger.

Soon, they arrived at the location where the tiger had stayed in the pine tree neighborhood.

There is also an area similar to the one yesterday. The tiger stayed here overnight. The snow shell melted due to the heat and then froze again due to the cold.

"We started digging this jumping stone pond yesterday, right?" Yue Feng asked.

"Yes, we dug all day yesterday, and there's only rubble underneath, so our progress is the slowest!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the black tiger should have reached here before dark yesterday afternoon! Our villagers who went into the mountains dug a pit right under the tiger's nose!" Yue Feng analyzed based on the traces.

"This……"

Wang Yansheng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

After all, no matter how stupid the tiger is, it is impossible for it to know there is a trap and deliberately jump into it!

"Captain Wang, I would like to make a suggestion. Let's check the areas around the other traps as well. If there are signs of tigers moving around nearby, the traps will be basically useless!" Yue Feng reminded.

"You're right! We don't need to dig any deeper into this trap at the jumping stone pond! Split the rest of the hunting team into two teams and patrol the perimeters of the other traps to make sure no tigers get close!"

Wang Yansheng was definitely a man with a clear mind. He understood Yue Feng's intentions immediately.

The only drawback was that Wang Yansheng had no experience dealing with tigers and could only rely on his common sense experience of hunting in the mountains to make judgments and handle things.

From this perspective, although Yue Feng and his group of young people are young, they are much stronger than Wang Yansheng in the field of professional knowledge.

Yue Feng followed the footprints left by the tiger and walked around again, collecting some information from the direction and location of its escape after attacking people.

The final conclusion was exactly the same as yesterday's. The tiger was not in a hurry to flee thousands of miles away to avoid being hunted by humans. Instead, it seemed to know that hunters would not dare to shoot at it, so it had been on the edge of human activities, secretly watching for opportunities.

Before I knew it, it was almost noon.

Wang Yansheng arranged for people to dismember the roe deer killed by Yue Feng's three brothers and put them into a pot on the mountain, and invited Yue Feng and his brothers to have a meal together on the mountain.

As Yue Feng had nothing to do if he went back early, he took his men to have a simple meal with them on the mountain.

There was a big pot of cooked roe deer meat and broth, and these mountain people and hunters enjoyed it very much.

A whole roe deer was cut into several portions and sent to several other places where pits were dug. Not even the broth was left after lunch, as everything was eaten up cleanly.

After lunch, Yue Feng took his brothers for a walk around the unvisited area on the other side of Yanwangweizi.

The terrain here is mainly ditches and ponds, with almost no signs of human activities.

In Yue Feng's mind, he had already integrated the actual terrain with the scenes on the map and had a preliminary concept.

The trap at Tiaoshitang was abandoned, which was also good for Yue Feng's future plan. This place was at a moderate distance from Yanwangweizi. If the tiger did not plan to go far away, Tiaoshitang was a terrain where the tiger preferred to stay.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yue Feng, who had completed the preliminary survey of the surrounding terrain, said hello to Wang Yansheng's men, and the brothers went down the mountain early.

In the next few days, everything was almost the same as before, except that no villagers were attacked by tigers when they were alone.

Several traps had been dug, three or four meters deep, with hanging nets set on them. However, Wang Yansheng mobilized people and organized several encirclement and suppression operations. The tiger's traces were found, but it did not fall into the trap. The closest it was to the trap was less than twenty meters away.

This is the cruel gap between plan and reality. Even if we don't consider the IQ of the tiger and only look at the mathematical probability, the success rate of catching a tiger by digging a pit and hanging a net is extremely low.

Time passed little by little, and Yue Feng, with his hunting team, wandered around the edge of Wang Yansheng's group.

I go up the mountain every day to learn about the latest tiger activities, but I have yet to come up with my own methods and actions.

After several attempts, Wang Yansheng felt a little stuck in the middle of a dilemma, so he took the opportunity to find Yue Feng to discuss their ideas and wanted to hear Yue Feng's plan.

But Yue Feng didn't spend so much effort to help others. He always said that the time was not right and never told the truth.

The snow crust on the mountain changes every day. On the sunny slopes, there is only a thin layer of snow left in many places.

Finally, the snow around Yanwangweizi reached Yuefeng and met the expected condition.

The operation to capture the tiger alive has officially begun! (End of this chapter)
