Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?
Chapter 41 Hunting in the Mountains
Yan Jiekuang left Sijiu City and came to Zhangjiazhuang.
He did not enter the village, but went straight up the back mountain.
Now he is no longer the skinny and weak man who was like that when he first came here, and a strong wind could blow Yan Jiekuang away.
Since practicing martial arts with Zhang Yuanshan, he has not stopped exercising for a single day, and his daily food standards have also improved a lot.
With his current physical fitness, he wouldn’t be invincible in the world, but it’s more than enough for him to replace Sha Zhu and become the invincible god of war in Siheyuan.
Plus he has a secret weapon in his hand - a pistol.
I haven't used the gun since I bought it at the pigeon market.
Taking all these factors into consideration, Yan Jiekuang decided to set up some traps in the mountains and try his luck.
If he were asked to face off against the wild boar head on, he certainly wouldn't dare to do so, but digging a few big holes secretly would be no problem.
Yan Jiekuang walked to the foot of the mountain, looked around to see that there was no one around, put his bicycle into the space, took out the shovel he had prepared long ago, and walked up the mountain along the mountain road.
After about an hour, he felt that he had reached the depths of the mountain and was no longer walking along the mountain road, but instead went into the woods.
After about half an hour of following one direction, we found a small ravine.
There was some feces scattered on the ground, and the bark on the surrounding trees was almost falling off due to rubbing.
Yan Jiekuang knew that there must have been wild boars nearby.
After looking around, we found a piece of relatively loose soil and started the infrastructure construction project.
It was not until an hour and a half later, when both arms were so tired that they began to tremble, that they finally dug out two large pits that were almost 1.5 meters long, wide and high.
The height is just right. If someone falls in accidentally, they will not get hurt and can climb out by themselves.
If a wild boar or other animal falls in, it will be difficult for it to get out.
He picked up some long branches from all around, placed them at the mouth of the pit, and sprinkled leaves on them for camouflage. He also made some marks on the surrounding trees to prevent himself from losing the place next time or accidentally stepping on his own trap.
After everything was done, Yan Jiekuang looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction.
After he walked out of this area, he felt a little hungry. He took out the meat buns he had prepared in advance from the space, and began to recover his strength while eating against a big tree. It took a lot of effort to dig these two big pits.
I ate four buns and rested for nearly an hour before I recovered.
I looked at the sky and found that it was still early, so I took out the pistol from the space and planned to walk around, just in case I was lucky enough to kill prey!
Even if he couldn't hit the target, he had already wanted to fire a few shots to try out the feel of the gun. After all, which man can resist the temptation of a gun?
I used to live in the city and never had the chance, but now this desolate mountain and wilderness is a perfect opportunity to satisfy my urge.
After walking for about half an hour, I didn't see any huntable animals. I looked at the sky and thought about going back to see if the traps I dug had caught any, and then going home.
But after walking just a few dozen meters, Yan Jiekuang spotted a pheasant strolling in the distance.
He quickly raised his gun, aimed for a long time before pulling the trigger.
And then... there was no more.
When I returned to the place where I dug the trap, it was still the same as before, without any change.
Without staying any longer, Yan Jiekuang prepared to go home along the same route he came.
After walking out of the mountain, I stood there for five minutes without moving: Hey, this isn't the right plot. Isn't it said that travelers can reap a lot of rewards after entering the mountain? Where are all the wild boars, sheep, chickens, and rabbits? Why can't I see any?
After complaining for three thousand words in his mind, Yan Jiekuang finally accepted the reality, took out his bicycle and headed towards Sijiu City.
Early the next morning, Yan Jiekuang came to the mountain again and checked the trap he had set, but found that there was still nothing.
Not willing to give up, he dug two more large pits at a distance and concealed the traps according to yesterday's operation.
This time he didn't wander around. Instead, he left the place where wild boars might appear and found an open area to practice shooting.
After wasting more than fifty bullets, Yan Jiekuang's arms were so tired that he could hardly lift them.
Although it took a lot of effort, his accuracy improved greatly.
It would definitely not be like yesterday, when I aimed at a pheasant but hit a tree more than one meter away.
After eating something and recovering his strength, Yan Jiekuang came to the place where the trap was dug.
There was still no movement. He was very disappointed and felt that it was completely different from what he expected.
Seeing that there was no gain, I had no choice but to go home.
At night, Yan Jiekuang lay in bed, feeling that he might not be suitable for hunting. Two days were completely wasted. Even if he just went for a run in the countryside, he would at least get some gains.
He decided to go and check again tomorrow. If he still had no catch, he would ask his senior brother to help out, as Zhang Jianshe's hunting skills were much better than his.
In the morning, he came to the trap as usual and looked at the trap dug the day before. Even the leaves on the top had not been touched. Yan Jiekuang had given up hope and went to look at the one dug yesterday. As soon as he approached, he found that one of the traps had been triggered.
He quickly took two steps to the edge of the pit, and when he saw the prey inside, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
There was no wild boar or goat inside, but a deer.
Yan Jiekuang was very puzzled. Logically speaking, such a shallow pit should not be able to trap a creature like a deer.
Looking at the deer lying on the ground motionless, Yan Jiekuang found a branch and poked it, but there was still no response.
After he jumped into the pit, he discovered that there was a bullet hole in the deer's belly.
I touched the body and found that it was still warm, obviously having died not long ago.
Yan Jiekuang guessed that the deer was probably shot by a hunter, but it did not die immediately and accidentally fell into a trap in a panic.
Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, his guess was further confirmed.
Yan Jiekuang quickly put the deer into the space, restored the trap to its original state, and left the mountains.
It was not until I returned home that I breathed a sigh of relief and made up my mind not to go to the mountains again for the next three to five days.
With this deer in hand, I am confident of getting the permanent position.
However, he was not ready to hand over his prey right now. Although the factory did say that he could strive for a regular position based on his ability, there is a world of its own wherever there are people, and these words could only deceive young people who were inexperienced in the world.
As a person from later generations, Yan Jiekuang has seen a lot of intrigues in the workplace. People with backgrounds can put some pressure on you and make you give up the credit voluntarily.
He was just a temporary worker with no background or connections in the steel mill, and any section chief or director could kick him out of the factory.
You have to know that there is a huge difference between temporary workers and regular workers. Even though it was easy for Li Huaide to arrange for Yan Jiekuang to work in the factory.
This only applies to temporary workers. Let him try to arrange a regular job. It's not that he can't do it, but the cost will be very high, which is not worth it.
Therefore, there will be a lot of people eyeing this position, and he cannot afford to be careless.
