At this time, the falcon meat and weasel meat were cooked, and the aroma filled the room. But at this juncture of dinner, Kuai Siming stood up to say goodbye, glanced at Liu Mei, and said to Ma: Godmother, I'm leaving.
Why don't you have a meal and leave?
There's no need to eat. I'll bring some game next time. It won't be any worse than this.
Don't take it seriously. I don't care whether you bring game or not.
Kuai Siming was a strong man. He thought about it as he walked, regardless of what Ma said. He walked across the field, still thinking about how to conquer Wang Meng with his own strength. Doesn’t Wang Meng know how to hunt? I also want to get a gun and learn how to do it. By the way, gunfire is out of date, why not buy a shotgun?
His home was at the north end of the row of tile-roofed houses on the west hillside of Meihu Village. He went to the town without going home, empty-handed, and did not bring a butcher's knife or pork for sale. Normally, he would have brought , especially if he brings meat, flies will follow him for a while.
What happened today? Others couldn't guess, so some asked, "Are you not going to kill pigs and sell the meat today?" He just said I had something to do.
When he arrived in the market town, he walked into each shop and asked the smiling tellers if they had shotguns for sale. They all said no, so he asked where he could buy it. The teller with some qualifications told him: Now that the government prohibits hunting, where are the hunting rifles for sale? He didn't seem to understand yet, so he asked, "Can't we kill those harmful wild animals?"
Of course you can hunt, but you must apply to the wildlife management department, otherwise it is illegal. Some tellers explained very directly, and their eyes widened, clearly asking silently: Don't you understand this?
Unable to buy a shotgun, Kuai Siming had no choice but to return to Meihu Village, bring some pork as a gift, borrow a gun from hunter Hu Changxi, and ask for advice carefully, learning the skills of making medicine, triggering and hunting wild animals. What impressed him most was that Hu Changxi taught him the technique of shooting birds: Generally, when birds such as pheasants and turtle doves are flying in the sky, it is difficult to hit them with muskets because they have a strong sense of self-defense and will fly away when they see people. Far away. Then you have to pay attention to where they rest. If it is a pheasant, it rarely rests on trees, but mostly rests in bushes, or walks in the mountains covered by thorns, looking for food, eating insects or scattered fruits, etc. If you are a hunter, you should sneak into its vicinity and wait patiently. When a pheasant approaches you or spots you, it will generally not take off immediately, but will quickly turn around and flee deep into the jungle. . Before this, you should prepare a stone and throw it into the jungle. The frightened pheasant will flap its wings and fly up. When its body just leaves the mountain covered by thorns or branches and pulses upward, you lift it. Lift the blunderbuss tube, point it to a space that is not too high, pull the trigger immediately, and fire the blunderbuss. The pheasant will be hit by the bullet and fall. Because the blunderbuss tube contains a large number of bullets, the bullets fired are like a cone-shaped cone spread out. Among them, one or two bullets or more must hit the prey. How can the prey fall without suffering any damage? It is even easier to hunt turtle doves. This kind of bird usually does not move alone, but always gathers in groups on the mountains. As long as you are good at concealing yourself, have a good eye on the target, and release a blunderbuss unexpectedly, there will definitely be a group of turtle doves. A few panicked and bumped into the bullets you fired, and naturally became the prey you were expecting.
Kuai Siming went into the dense forest of the mountain with an earthen gun, but he waited for several days and found nothing. He only fired an earthen gun and killed an old bird that flew up from the tree crown. The old bird was an unlucky thing and was not suitable for eating meat. He wanted to please Liu Mei and his godmother so much, so he had the nerve to take the old bird as a gift. ? He was very puzzled. When it got dark, he came down the mountain hungry, so he went to ask Hu Changxi why he had not gained anything and whether he could quickly teach him hunting techniques. Seeing that Kuai Siming was so anxious, Hu Changxi stroked his long beard and said: There is no good way. You need to be patient and resourceful when hunting. Kuai Siming couldn't listen to these words. Instead, he had a delusion and said, I ask you how to lure out the mountain deer or something? Hu Changxi touched his head and said mysteriously: I have come up with a good idea, but you have to spend some money? Of course not a lot of money.
Come on, I'm willing to spend more money. Kuai Siming was very excited and stared at him with wide eyes. Hu Changxi walked into the inner room, rummaged through the cabinets, found a suede coat, showed it to Kuai Siming, and said that the suede coat was very good. Kuai Siming didn't understand and asked him what the purpose of taking out this coat was. Hu Changxi said it was very effective. Back then, when I couldn't catch prey for a few days, I wore this coat inside out and exposed the fur. Not only did it quickly attract a mountain muntjac, but it also attracted a leopard.
Are you wearing it?
Of course they all became my gains.
I can give it a try too.
Kuai Siming took the suede coat, turned it over and put it on. He walked to the dressing mirror at Hu Changxi's house and took a look. It really looked like a mountain muntjac. Hu Changxi asked him to bend down and put his hands on the ground, which made him look even more similar. The two of them were laughing. Kuai Siming dressed and left, but Hu Changxi stopped him and said that this is not possible, you have to pay some rent.
How much does it cost to rent for a day?
Ten bucks.
Ten bucks is ten bucks.
Kuai Siming was very generous now. He took out two ten-dollar bills from his body and said, as if he was trying to get rich, that I would rent it for two days and give you ten yuan first, and then pay ten more when he returns the suede coat. Hu Changxi took the money, grinned and nodded.
It has been a long time since Wangjiapo Village saw a falcon snatching a chicken, but it happened again recently. When people met Wang Meng, they asked him to find an opportunity to kill the falcon that often came to the village to make sneak attacks. He said that the country now lists the falcon as a protected wild animal, and killing it is a crime. Who will take the blame for me then?
The whole village will speak for you, what are you afraid of? When others said this, Wang Meng just smiled faintly and had no intention of taking the illegal risk. Others asked anxiously, so he said: The last time I killed a falcon, I got approval. I can't hunt it again this time. Otherwise, if the falcon becomes extinct, the wildlife protection agency will question me. After that, people rarely mentioned this matter.
One day, Liu Mei met him at the entrance of the village and said "Hey" first to attract Wang Meng's attention. When Wang Meng's eyes met hers, she said: Thank you for the gift of game last time. This time I want to ask for your help.
What can I do to help? Just say it. Wang Meng's eyes quickly wandered to the area in front of Liu Mei's breasts leading to her cleavage.
Yesterday, by chance, a falcon swooped down from the sky and snatched away the only hen in my family that could lay eggs. It's not my dog barking, I don't know yet. When I went out from the house to look, the hawk had already flown to the mountains with the hen in its mouth. Before Liu Mei finished speaking, Wang Meng said: I understand what you mean. Do you want me to hunt that falcon?
Exactly, I know you have difficulties. Now the country has legislation to protect wild animals, such as this harmful falcon. I suggest you make another report, seek approval from the wildlife protection agency, and then kill it. If you are in trouble, I will ask Ma Xu to help you. Liu Mei usually rarely talks so much, but now she preemptively strikes. Wang Meng was also happy and said, "That's it."
