Early in the morning, Ai Guo and Ai Min ran to the hillside to find Chu Qianqian, carrying baskets on their backs, as instructed yesterday.
He casually handed four erhemian steamed buns mixed with corn noodles and flour to Aiguo and Aimin.
The two boys didn't refuse this time. They hurriedly took it and put it in their mouths to eat.
Moreover, the two of them helped Chu Xiangqian make these two-faced steamed buns yesterday afternoon.
They both finally had a good meal last night, but the price was to follow him into the mountains today.
Aiguo said while eating, "Brother, can we come back at night? Otherwise, we won't be able to hide it from my father and mother."
Aimin on the side also nodded hurriedly when he heard this.
Chu Qianqian smiled and patted the two of them gently twice.
Secretly, it is still easy for a young man to fool.
If it were his second uncle, he would definitely not accompany him up the mountain, regardless of what he said.
"Don't worry, your brother and I survived the catastrophe, and there will be blessings in the future. After recovering from the injury this time, I feel that my body has not only become stronger, but my eyesight has also become much stronger."
Aiguo and Aimin were stunned. They felt that the elder brother was talking nonsense, but they didn't say it out loud.
And in order to eat meat, some doubts were immediately suppressed in my heart.
Coupled with the example of Chu Xiangqian carrying his injuries and walking out of the mountains with Chu Shan on his back, the brothers did not doubt some of Chu Xiangqian's words.
Besides, we agreed yesterday that we would just go into the mountains for a few miles and try our luck to keep an eye on pheasants and hares.
Otherwise, even though they were easy to fool, they would not dare to follow Chu Xiang into the mountains.
After bringing their bows, arrows and steel forks, and calling two hounds, Da Zhuang and Hong Niu found a pheasant standing on a poplar tree for half an hour.
Aiguo and Aimin hurriedly lay down on the snow, looking at Chu Qianqian with eyes full of expectation. They took a detour and took out the hunting bow in the quiver twenty meters behind Pheasant.
Hold your breath and shoot the pheasant down from the tree with one arrow.
The two hunting dogs immediately pounced on him.
Chu Qianqian casually threw the pheasant in Da Zhuang's mouth to Ai Guo and asked him to put it in the basket.
The two boys saw that they had really caught the prey not long after they went up the mountain, and their smiles were twisted.
The secret brother may not be bragging. This accuracy looks much better than before.
When they thought of Chu Xiangqian asking both of them to carry baskets, the two brothers began to look forward to being able to carry several pheasants or hares on their backs when they returned home.
Even if you keep it and don't eat it, you can exchange it for food at the commune, and you can get enough food for the family for many days.
Moreover, just following the eldest brother for a walk on the mountain road can help reduce the burden on the family. The brothers are very excited.
Chu Qianqian could clearly see the expressions on the two of them.
Thinking with a smile, these two silly boys really thought there could be so many pheasants and hares in this mountain?
Even if there is one, it must be deep in the mountains.
After walking with the two of them for another half an hour, Chu came to the place he had chosen yesterday morning. Chu stepped forward and patted Da Zhuang and Hong Niu on their heads.
The two hunting dogs, just like they were trained in the novice village last night, lay on the ground, bared their fangs and growled softly.
Immediately frightened, Aiguo and Aimin hurriedly squatted down.
Children in the mountains have more or less learned some hunting skills, and they hurriedly said to Chu Qianqian, who was waiting for him, "Brother, with the reaction of two dogs, they are probably big dogs."
Aimin, who was timid, even whispered directly, "Brother, let's go. If it's a wild boar, bows and arrows are not very useful."
Chu Xiangqian felt funny in his heart. What Da Zhuang and Huniu had just done was all planned.
The purpose was to take out the blind bear that he had hunted the day before yesterday.
He nodded with a fake serious look on his face.
Wild boars are actually the most difficult to hunt. The protective layer formed by a thick layer of mud mixed with resin makes it difficult for bows and arrows to penetrate.
"Do you two remember that there is a big tree in the back with half a person holding it?"
Aiguo and Aimin nodded hurriedly.
When he came here before, Chu Xiangqian specifically mentioned a few words, saying that the tree was not only thick enough, but also easy for people to climb up. Perfect for hiding from predators.
"You go back and climb up the tree. I have Da Zhuang and Hong Niu here. Even if I encounter a tiger or a blind bear, I still have a chance to retreat. If it is impossible, I will run to join you.
When the time comes, we will hide in the trees and shoot with bows and arrows, and stab them with steel forks. Even the tiger will die. "
Aiguo and Aimin thought for a while, nodded and stood up, slowly retreating.
After walking more than ten meters, they still found no movement, and Da Zhuang and Hong Niu kept staring at the poplar forest ahead, indicating that the thing was still in the forest.
Then he turned around and ran away.
After running all the way for five or six minutes, they finally climbed up the big tree. They wanted to see Chu's situation moving forward, but found that their view was blocked by a hill.
Then Da Zhuang and Hong Niu were faintly heard barking.
"Brother Patriot," Aimin said, trembling with fear, "How about we go down and help?"
"Don't be ridiculous," Aiguo pulled Aimin, "It won't be helpful if we go, and the dog is still barking. Brother should be fine."
The two of them waited anxiously for about half an hour while standing in the tree with the cold wind blowing. They wanted to get down from the tree and run away, but because the dog barking didn't stop, they could only continue to wait.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I finally heard Chu Xiangqian’s voice.
The two of them climbed down from the tree without thinking and ran quickly towards the place where the sound came from.
Not long after, Chu Xiang appeared in sight, holding a steel fork forward.
Farther away, Da Zhuang and Hong Niu were guarding a dark figure.
"Brother," Aiguo asked with both fear and excitement, "is that big guy a blind bear?"
Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "Not only the blind bear, but also the one that hurt me and my father in the first place."
"That's great." Aiguo and Aimin were stunned for a few breaths, and then jumped up happily.
When he followed Chu closer, he saw a sharp arrow that penetrated the neck of the black bear.
Moreover, there are at least six or seven sharp arrows stuck in the bear's body.
Looking at Chu Qianqian, in addition to admiration in their eyes, the two of them were also vaguely afraid of Chu Qianqian.
This is the first time the two brothers have heard of one person and two dogs using bows, arrows and steel forks to kill black bears in the cold winter.
Don't think that you can kill a bear alone with a bow and arrow in hand.
Not only does the black bear's hair in December be thick enough, but the fat layer on its body will be very thick after a fall of continuous eating and drinking.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to withstand hibernation for an entire winter.
A bow and arrow with a smaller draw force will only cause skin trauma to the black bear.
Even if you use a shotgun, most of the time you have to aim at the heart first to kill with one hit.
If he fails to kill with one hit, this guy will act like a tank when running.
The speed is also far faster than that of humans, and the endurance also crushes humans.
Of course, if you have a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in hand, as long as you are not nervous and have had shooting training.
No matter if he is a bear or a tiger, he must die.
It was only last year that the Celestial Empire withdrew all its troops from the Northern Dynasty, and a large number of retired guns had not yet been distributed to civilian militias.
