The black tiger's holiday was gone. Gao Mingcheng agreed to give it a day off, and then told him to go into the mountains and work hard.
Running in the mountain forest, Black Tiger ran very fast at first, wanting to surpass Gao Mingcheng, but...
Heihu, who had run out a lot, was dumbfounded. He looked back at Gao Mingcheng, who was lagging behind, with a pair of innocent dog eyes filled with confusion.
Why are these two-legged beasts walking so slowly today?
In the mountain forest, Gao Mingcheng matched Gao Yue's footsteps and walked slowly. Today, Gao Yue is wearing an old cotton-padded coat belonging to Gao Mingcheng. He was originally wearing a down jacket, but Gao Mingcheng asked him to change it because there are many branches in the mountains. Once the down jacket is scratched by branches, the down inside will have to escape, and a piece of clothing will be damaged. It was destroyed.
Gao Yue's face was full of excitement, carrying a gun on his back, and walking in the forest with great interest.
The mountains in winter are more withered than the other three seasons. Except for some evergreen trees, the leaves of many trees have already fallen off, leaving only bare trunks.
Because of the season, there are fewer birds in the mountains. In autumn, as long as you look up at the sky, you can often see migrating geese.
Gao Yue's excitement did not last long. As soon as he entered the mountain, Gao Yue began to feel that the gun was too heavy.
At first, Gao Mingcheng held the gun, but Gao Yue thought it would be more handsome to go hunting in the mountains with a gun, so he asked to take it himself.
However, if you hold the gun for a long time, it will become heavy.
Although Gao Yue is a child who grew up in the village and is very familiar with the conditions in the mountains and forests, after all, he has stayed in the county for eight years. During these eight years, he rarely climbed mountains, let alone worked in the fields, so his Physical fitness is actually worse than that of ordinary villagers.
Gao Mingcheng saw that he was tired, so he took the gun over and said, "I'll get it."
This time Gao Yue didn't say anything more and honestly handed the blunderbuss to Gao Mingcheng. Today their goal was to hunt hares and turtle doves.
Gao Yue originally wanted to go into the mountains to hunt large prey such as muntjacs and wild boars, but Gao Mingcheng made him give up.
This kind of large prey is usually found in deep mountains, and it is not an easy task to go deep into the mountains. Not to mention the physical exertion, it is winter now, and the days are short and the nights are long. Going to hunt deep in the mountains is more difficult than in summer. It's more dangerous. Once it gets dark and you can't see the way, there is a risk of being trapped in the mountains.
And being stuck in the mountains in the winter is never fun.
Gao Yue did not dare to take risks, so he agreed to hunt only turtle doves and hares. Under the leadership of Gao Mingcheng, they crossed a small hill and came to a low-lying area.
In spring and summer, a small pond would form here, but now it is winter, the dry season, and the water source has dried up, leaving only a small puddle.
According to Gao Mingcheng's observation, there should be a spring under this small puddle. If the spring is dug out, spring water will gush out and the pond will be re-formed.
Because of the water source, the vegetation near here grows more lush.
Gao Mingcheng lowered his head to look for traces of the hare, and said to Gao Yue: "Look around to see if there are any fresh hare droppings."
"Okay!" Gao Yue responded, and the two of them started looking for traces of the hare, centered on the small puddle.
The hare has not been found yet, but the birds in the forest are flying around and making different bird calls.
Gao Yue's attention was attracted by these birds. He looked up at the birds and distinguished their types. The most common ones were sparrows and some water birds. If he looked carefully, he could also find turtledoves.
Sparrows can also be eaten, but they are too small and have little meat.
As for waterbirds... In fact, there are many waterbirds near the paddy fields. These waterbirds will go to the water to find small fish and insects to eat. When their wings are spread out, they look very big, but if you knock them down and pluck out their hair, nothing will be left except the skeleton. , there wasn’t much meat left, and the meat was still very fishy.
"Gao Mingcheng, give me the gun." Gao Yue decided to shoot the turtle dove first. He had already spotted a turtle dove and it was sitting on a treetop.
Gao Mingcheng handed the blunderbuss and lead bullets to Gao Yue. Gao Yue was no stranger to guns. His father was from the police station, and he had grown up playing with guns since he was a child.
Not to mention blunderbuss, he also played with his father's Type 54 pistol, but of course, he never fired it.
After reloading skillfully, Gao Yue began to aim at the turtle dove on the tree. As a result, the turtle dove seemed to sense the danger and flew away at the critical moment!
"Bang!" The bullet was empty.
The birds were frightened and fled in all directions.
Although the shot was empty, Gao Yue did not lose heart. Instead, he quickly loaded a bullet and continued to aim and shoot.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
He fired several shots in succession, but missed every time.
This shooting technique...
Gao Mingcheng was shocked. At first Gao Yue wanted to shoot, but he was full of confidence in this. After all, Gao Yue in later generations was a criminal policeman and his marksmanship was very good.
But at this moment, Gao Yue is still a struggling senior high school student!
Gao Yue was also a little angry and defended himself: "I have fired at the shooting range. It is obviously very accurate!"
Gao Mingcheng continued to remain silent. How could shooting at a shooting range be the same as actually shooting birds?
"It's okay, take your time, I couldn't get it right at the beginning." Gao Mingcheng comforted.
People need to get along with each other. In fact, people and guns also need to get along with each other.
Only if you understand the situation of this gun and are familiar with its structure can you use it better.
Gao Yue was not discouraged and continued to look for traces of the turtle dove.
On this day, countless gunshots rang out in the forest, and all the bullets Gao Mingcheng brought were used up. In the end, two turtledoves, three sparrows and a rabbit were harvested.
The rabbit was not actually Gao Yue's harvest, but Black Tiger's.
The sound of gunshots alerted the surrounding animals. When the rabbit was scurrying around, it was chased by the black tiger and bitten!
When going down the mountain, the black tiger ran happily. He thought wrongly. Today is indeed a holiday and he has no work!
Although the harvest was not much, Gao Yue was still very happy, and he agreed to go to the cooperative to buy lead bullets tomorrow, and then go hunting in the mountains!
Gao Mingcheng smiled and looked at Gao Yue's feet meaningfully.
If his feet are not sore tomorrow, then he will accompany you!
On the second day, the sequelae of excessive exercise really appeared. Not only were Gao Yue's feet sore, but his whole body was sore!
But he bought the lead bullets. He asked Gao Zhuang to ride his bicycle to the cooperative to buy them.
Gao Zhuang coveted his bicycle and had slowly learned to ride a bicycle when he went hunting in the mountains. So when Gao Yue called, he immediately took the money and pedaled his bicycle to Junling.
The cooperative sells lead bullets, which are not expensive. You can get a hundred bullets for one dollar and a half. In addition to blunderbuss, air guns can also be used.
In several nearby villages, some people also have bird guns, but the quality of these bird guns varies, some are good, and some are not. If you encounter a bird gun of poor quality, let alone catch the prey, you will All may get injured.
