Gao Mingcheng walked in front with a gun, and Black Tiger followed beside him, sometimes barking at a bush somewhere, sometimes nibbling a mouthful of grass playfully.
Gao Mingcheng found a suitable place and started looking for his target. Today, his target was not wild boars, muntjacs, sika deer and other large prey, but birds!
Turtle dove to be precise.
Turtle doves are similar to pigeons. Their meat is rich and delicious, and they are the first choice for hunting. In later generations, turtle doves were also classified as protected animals.
The most important reason for choosing Ikaruga is to practice marksmanship!
After getting this improved bird gun, Gao Mingcheng began to practice shooting. At first, he made a target and practiced shooting at it. Later, he used hares and pheasants to practice shooting. As a result, his shooting skills were not very accurate. Not even a rabbit was hit, but a hedgehog was hit by accident.
When Gao Mingcheng practiced gun shooting, he took Hei Hu with him. He wanted Hei Hu to adapt to the sound of gunfire and understand what the sound of gunfire meant.
At first, when the gunfire rang out, the black tiger was frightened and barked rapidly. After hearing more, it gradually adapted. When it showed adaptation, Gao Mingcheng rewarded it with a piece of meat.
After loading a bullet, Gao Mingcheng raised his gun, aimed, and shot!
"Bang!" There was a sound, and the turtle dove flying in mid-air was suddenly shot and stumbled to the ground.
"Woof woof." Black Tiger shouted instantly and ran towards Turtle Dove.
"Black tiger, don't eat it!" Gao Mingcheng ordered.
The bullet was a lead bullet, and the lead bullet was still in the turtle dove's body. If the black tiger ate the turtle dove, he was worried that he would also eat the lead bullet.
Besides, he had to make Black Tiger understand that only the owner has the ownership and distribution rights for the prey he kills!
The black tiger still ran in front of the turtle dove, lowered his head and held the turtle dove, ran quickly towards Gao Mingcheng, and then placed the intact turtle dove in front of Gao Mingcheng.
"Hei Hu, well done!" Gao Mingcheng praised and touched Hei Hu's head. Hei Hu was in a good mood after being praised and rubbed his head against Gao Mingcheng's hand.
Gao Mingcheng picked up the turtle dove on the ground. The feathers of this turtle dove were brown and the tail was blue-gray. It was a little heavy to hold in his hand.
Although it was hit, but...
There was a trace of dissatisfaction on Gao Mingcheng's face. The bullet was embedded in the belly of the turtle dove. When handling it like this, part of the meat must be discarded, otherwise it will be prone to lead poisoning.
If the bullet can hit the turtle dove's head, then the head can be removed.
Gao Mingcheng casually plucked out all the feathers from the turtle dove, and then dug out the lead bullets from the turtle dove's body.
The used lead bullets can be used again, but due to their sealing properties, their power has become smaller and they cannot shoot far. However, Gao Mingcheng can use them for gun practice.
For many skills, practice makes perfect.
Gao Mingcheng got those two pieces of gold foil, and after meditating every night, his physical fitness improved, but that was all.
If he wants to run fast, he needs to spend time training his running speed and skills. If he wants to shoot accurately, he has to practice shooting until his body's muscles have memory. When he picks up the gun, he can do it without thinking too much. Able to shoot.
Gao Mingcheng threw the shaved turtle dove into the bag he was carrying and said to Heihu: "Let's go!"
Black Tiger followed up smartly. This time, Gao Mingcheng planned to train Black Tiger in the skills of hunting rabbits alone. It turned out that Black Tiger actually had some experience in this. After understanding Gao Mingcheng's instructions, he started to sniff. Look for hare nests.
Wolf dogs have a very strong sense of smell. They can quickly help hunters find and track down prey. A good hunter, with the help of hunting dogs, only needs to shoot at the right time and hit the prey.
On this day, Gao Mingcheng took Black Tiger across the mountains and spent most of the day in the mountains. It was not until dark that he took Black Tiger back to the village.
When we returned, although it was only seven o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark.
The mountain wind in winter blows on people's bodies, bringing biting coldness. Fortunately, Gao Mingcheng was in good physical condition, otherwise he would have caught a cold after such a trip.
"Black Tiger, let me give you a day off tomorrow!" Gao Mingcheng looked at Black Tiger and decided to reward it with a day off.
Black Tiger must have been a little tired after a long day. After hearing these words, he let out a slightly excited cry.
When I walked into Grandma Xi's yard, the first person I saw was Gao Yue.
Seeing Gao Yue, Gao Mingcheng only belatedly remembered his purpose.
When Gao Yue came to the village to inform him of a visit to the county, he said that he wanted to come here during the winter vacation and go hunting in the mountains with him.
Later, during the winter vacation, Gao Yue didn't come over, so Gao Mingcheng almost forgot about it.
"Gao Mingcheng! Did you go hunting today? Why did you come back now? What did you hit?" Gao Yue's eyes lit up and he looked at the bag Gao Mingcheng was carrying.
The bag wasn't big, and it didn't seem like there were many things in it.
"I just practiced today. I was busy building a house before, and I didn't have time to go into the mountains to practice shooting until now. How many days do you plan to stay when you come back this time? Although my new house has been built, there is nothing in it. There is nothing in it. You can sleep in the same room with me." Gao Mingcheng said, and at the same time simply handed him the bag.
Gao Yue nodded. He came here in the afternoon and didn't find Gao Mingcheng. However, he had already talked with Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang and knew Gao Mingcheng's current situation and that he went hunting in the mountains today.
So he said, "Okay, I'll sleep in the same room with you. Gao Zhuang's snoring is too loud. I'm afraid if I sleep with him, I won't be able to sleep."
Gao Zhuang leaned against the door of the main room. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said rudely: "You are still talking about me. How can your sleep state be any better? Don't kick me, Brother Mingcheng, when the time comes. Get under the bed!"
Gao Mingcheng was silent.
He regretted it!
It had been so long since he slept with Gao Yue that he had forgotten Gao Yue's terrifying sleeping posture. He could describe it in one sentence - I love killing people in my dreams!
What a dream!
Gao Yue's face was a little sulky, but he didn't say anything. He just glared at Gao Zhuang. The two young men glared at each other fiercely, and Gao Zhuang even made a face at him.
Gao Yue lowered his head silently to see Gao Mingcheng's harvest today. He opened the bag and saw a few turtle doves and two hares inside. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Although the harvest was not much, it also stimulated Gao Yue's interest in going hunting in the mountains.
He said enthusiastically: "Gao Mingcheng, let's go hunting in the mountains tomorrow! By the way, I brought you a puppy. This puppy was found for me by someone from the police station. I said I would raise it for you." It’s bigger, it will definitely be useful!”
"By the way, I heard that you have bought a big dog? Is it this one? Black Tiger?" Gao Yue tentatively called Black Tiger, but Black Tiger suddenly barked at him!
What a bully dog!
The promised vacation will definitely be ruined tomorrow!
Not only is there no vacation, but there is also an extra puppy vying for favor! The black tiger decided that it would hate this person unilaterally!
