From wilderness to palace

Chapter 112

After the last time he led people hunting at night, but was followed by a pack of wolves, Liu Yaozu quickly canceled his plan to take tourists to experience jungle hunting.In his opinion, it doesn't matter if the prey is hit or not. Once something happens to the tourists, it will be really troublesome.

Safety is the top priority in everything, and ensuring the safety of tourists who come here for fame is also what Liu Yaozu, as a "landlord", needs to do.He didn't think it would be a problem to bring Eighth Uncle with him tonight. The reason was that the other party was more experienced than him.

When he arrived at the hunting ground in the lake area, his eighth uncle Liu Shouyi turned off the headlamp he was wearing without even having to speak.Relying on the headlamp carried by Liu Yaozu, the two cats were outside the hunting ground, looking for prey to shoot.

Seeing Liu Yaozu's arrows with no misses, Liu Shouyi, who had not experienced the joy of hunting for a long time, seemed very happy in his heart.Even if he didn't teach Liu Yaozu anything, as a hunter from Shantun, he still hoped that someone in the village would inherit the hunting tradition or skills.

Picking up the shot hare, Liu Shouyi also said sincerely: "Azu, your archery skills are indeed not bad. If you were in the village in the early years, with your archery skills, I'm afraid you wouldn't be hungry. Now you can do this , there are really not many left.”

"Uncle Ba, I also think that if you practice this well, you will have a little self-protection ability if you go into the deep mountains. Besides, if you are good at archery, you don't have to worry about eating when you want to find a good hunting ground in the mountains. .”

"That's true! However, if you encounter those ferocious beasts, try to provoke them as little as possible. What you did last time was right. When you encounter wolves, scare them away first. If it is not necessary, try to avoid enmity with them. .”

"Well, I remember what you said!"

After shooting a few chubby hares, Liu Yaozu and Liu Shouyi also saw other prey in the hunting ground.It's just that a large part of these prey are animals protected by law, and both of them know that this thing cannot be hunted.

Although in the mountains, even if they hunted one or two, no one would know about it.But this kind of thing, once a bad start, may not be closed in the future.This means that, sooner or later, news will leak out.

If you really want to eat something, or seek some so-called excitement, and finally send yourself to prison, it is not worth it!

Just when the two walked around the edge of the hunting ground and felt that the harvest was about the same tonight, Liu Yaozu suddenly whispered: "Uncle Ba, there is a single mountain boar ahead, do you think it is necessary to do it?"

"Is it a boar? How big is it?"

As an old hunter, Liu Shouyi naturally knew the truth of one pig, two bears and three cats.But it is safer to hunt wild boars alone.However, before hunting, it also depends on how dangerous the wild boar is alone.

Facing the questioning Liu Yaozu, he directly shone his headlamp on.Seeing the wild boar that was looking for food, it only seemed to be about a hundred pounds in size, and there were no traces of other wild boars around it. Liu Shouyi thought for a while and said, "Are you sure?"

"Hey, try it! I brought a few arrows made of alloy and shot them close to the point. I should be sure to shoot through it with one arrow. If it hits the vital point, I guess it can be done with one arrow. There is a wild boar, I am afraid Enough for us to have a big meal."

Looking at Liu Yaozu who took out a sharp arrow from his pocket, Liu Shouyi who was standing beside him thought for a while and said, "Success! Then try, the first arrow will hit the vital point. If you really want to make it go crazy, even if it's a hundred pounds Wild boars will also be very troublesome."

"Understood! With an old hunter like you helping to look after the place, I'm quite confident. The meat of such a big wild boar should taste better than those of larger wild boars, right?"

"It's okay! Mountain pork actually tastes that way. If you can't make it, it's even worse than homemade pork."

"With you as a chef, I believe that the wild boar meat you make must be delicious. Speaking of which, I haven't tasted the wild boar bacon you smoked by yourself. If there is a chance, I will smoke some in the mountains this year. How do you feel?"

Regarding Liu Yaozu's praise, Liu Shouyi also smiled and said: "Successful! To make wild boar bacon, you must have meat first. Let's touch it first, and try to get it done with one arrow. Let the tourists stew something to try it out, and the rest Save it for bacon."

It is different from the early years when I often went into the mountains to hunt and occasionally hunted wild boar.Nowadays, although you can see wild boar selling in town from time to time.But Liu Shouyi also knew that those wild boars were hunted illegally.

In recent years, due to the closure of mountains for afforestation and the ban on hunting, many villages adjacent to the mountains have suffered from the scourge of these wild pigs.Every year when corn or other crops mature in the fields, these wild boars come in groups to cause harm.

Without a shotgun, the villagers saw these wild boars in groups and could only drive them away by making noise or setting off firecrackers.But after more times, these wild boars also know that these sounds don't seem to hurt them.

Over time, many villagers gave up some of their fields bordering the mountains.From the perspective of the villagers, even if they plant crops, they will be almost destroyed by these wild boars before they can harvest them.

Waste of seeds and hard work at the same time, even the cost is all in vain.Although in recent years, the town and the county will organize wild boar hunting teams.But the number of wild boars that can be hunted each time is actually not much.

Those wild boar herds living near the mountains will also run into the deep mountains to hide cleverly once they realize that danger is coming.Even if the hunting team brought hounds, it would not be easy to find their tracks.

With the consent of his eighth uncle Liu Shouyi, Liu Yaozu quickly pulled out two arrows and replaced the arrowheads on the shafts.Replace it with a custom-made alloy arrowhead, and the lethality of the arrowhead doubles instantly.Even if the boar's skin is thick, it can be shot through with one arrow.

"Try to shoot as close as possible, and shoot directly at the boar's abdomen, aiming at the location of its heart. If you shoot the head, it may be difficult to kill it with one blow. If you hide the abdomen, it should be more reliable. If the arrow fails, remember to fill it up immediately. Second arrow."

"Well, I see! Uncle Ba, then I'll go there first."

"Be careful! If the wild boar really goes crazy, it will be very troublesome."

Even the lone boar in front of him didn't have sharp and ferocious fangs.But as an old hunter, Liu Shouyi knew that when the wild boar charged, once it hit him, it would definitely be uncomfortable.Besides, wild boars will bite people when they are in a hurry!
Liu Yaozu, who turned off his headlights and approached carefully, also kept staring at the wild boar who was starting to feel a little alert.Fortunately, they were in a downwind position at the moment, and the wild boar could not smell their breath.For animals, the sense of smell is often very sensitive.

Feeling the distance of less than [-] meters from the wild boar, Liu Yaozu, who found the opportunity to draw a bow and set an arrow, turned on the headlights to instantly attract the wild boar's attention.The wild boar was stunned for a moment, and then let go of the hand that clenched the arrow feather.

With a sound of '嗖', the shaft of the custom-made arrowhead was installed, and it went straight to the stupefied wild boar.He raised his archery to the intermediate level before, and practiced it for a period of time later.This arrow can be said to be shot accurately and quickly.

When the wild boar sensed the danger and was just about to start running away, there was a sudden sharp pain in its abdomen, which made it howl uncontrollably.The sharp arrow with a custom-made arrowhead directly penetrates the boar's abdomen, instantly making the boar stagger.

Just as the wild boar howled in pain, Liu Yaozu quickly pulled out another arrow with a custom-made arrow.He nocked an arrow and drew the bow in one go, and in a very short time, he aimed another arrow at the wild boar's head.

This arrow directly knocked the boar to the ground.It's just different from the penetrating wound caused by the first arrow. The arrowhead of the second arrow is nailed to the boar's head, but the arrow shaft and arrow feathers are still outside.It can be seen that the boar's head is still very strong.

Liu Shouyi, who was watching the hunt in the dark, saw Liu Yaozu shoot through the fatal point of the wild boar with one arrow, and then shot the second arrow in a very short time, and said with emotion: "I really don't know how this little guy can practice such a sharp hand. archery."

When he was a child, Liu Shouyi also practiced bow and arrow under the guidance of his parents.The problem is, in his opinion, practicing archery is much more difficult than practicing marksmanship.And for hunting, firearms are obviously more useful and more powerful than bows and arrows.

But Liu Shouyi knew that the older generation of hunters basically used bows and arrows to hunt in the mountains.Now that Liu Yaozu has practiced superb archery skills, he also feels very admirable.I even felt that the ancestors would be very happy if they knew about it.

The wild boar who was hit by two arrows in a row only wailed for a while.The first arrow hit its vitals directly, making it lose even the strength to escape.The wailing sound was just a dying struggle before dying.

When the second arrow hit its head, the wild boar was knocked to the ground and soon became unable to even whimper.When Liu Yaozu breathed a sigh of relief and saw that the wild boar was completely eliminated after two arrows fell, he also felt very excited.

"No wonder foreigners like hunting in the wild so much! Hunting such large prey is really adrenaline rushing!"

Even though he had several successful hunting experiences here before, Liu Yaozu felt very excited to hunt such a big prey for the first time.Holding the strong bow in hand, I also feel that there is no recognition value in vain and the sweat of practice.

Pulling out another arrow and putting it on the bow, Liu Yaozu started to walk towards the overturned wild boar that stopped struggling.This was done just in case, if the wild boar struggled to get up before dying, he didn't mind adding another arrow.

Liu Shouyi, who also saw this scene, was also very pleased and said: "This boy is quite cautious in doing things!"

Liu Shouyi, who had hunted in the early years, knew that some prey were born with the ability to pretend to be dead.If you are not careful, the hunter may also be overwhelmed by this kind of prey.If such a thing really happened, the hunter would definitely not get any benefit in the end.

Walking to the dying but still bleeding wild boar, Liu Yaozu kicked it carefully to confirm that the wild boar was really dying, and then beckoned Liu Shouyi over.With this wild boar, the uncle and nephew's hunting trip tonight is also a rewarding experience.

Considering that this place is located in a hunting ground, it is difficult to guarantee that some large beasts will appear.The bloody smell from shooting wild boars may also attract those hidden large beasts.Therefore, the most urgent task is to return to the camp with the prey on their backs as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the brightly lit camp, even if there were large wild animals following them, they did not dare to approach easily.After a brief tidying up, Liu Yaozu immediately picked up the wild boar weighing more than a hundred catties, and under Liu Shouyi's slightly surprised eyes, he set foot on the journey back to the camp!
