Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.
The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...
Yang Xuewu skillfully drained the blood of the prey, then cut open its belly and threw the heart and liver to his subordinate dogs. He also cut a few pieces of meat from the prey's abdomen and threw them one by one to several hunting dogs that had just participated in the hunt.
This is a reward given to hunting dogs.
Of course, in order to prepare for the next hunt, it is impossible to let them eat too much.
Dahei and Yuanshuai also wanted to break free from the leash to fight for food, but were stopped by Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang who pulled the leash.
They did not participate in the hunt just now, so naturally there was no reward.
Those who work hard get what they eat. This must be deeply engraved in the hunting dogs' minds, so that they will do their best to help hunt.
"Brother Yang, your Xiasi dog is incense, right?"
Chen Jianping looked at the Xiasi dog that was gnawing on the muntjac's heart with envy.
Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang also stared at the hunting dog with curiosity.
Just now, the other dogs did not react, and even from a long distance away from them, the lower dog detected the scent of the prey.
This level of sense of smell is too precious for hunters.
"That's right."
Yang Heping chuckled and nodded, saying, "I went on a special trip to the Miao ethnic group in your province a few years ago and bought this dog for a lot of money from the locals. It was still a puppy at the time. I know a lot about dogs, so I could tell at first glance that this dog was extraordinary. After I brought it back and raised it for a year, it helped us kill a black bear on our first hunt in the mountains."
"Dabao is also the head dog in my family, and all the other dogs listen to him!"
Yang Xuewu touched the dog's head and said to them with a smile.
“Great, great.”
Chen Jianjun nodded repeatedly in praise.
"Awang, the dog you brought back also has this level of talent, and may even be better than this Xiasi dog. You need to train it well."
Yang Heping looked at Chen Wang and gave instructions.
Chen Wang nodded seriously and said, "I will."
"Dad, I went to see him yesterday. He is doing very well and has grown a lot stronger. I'm afraid he will be able to go back into the mountains in a few months."
Yang Xuewu said with a smile.
"That's good."
Yang Heping nodded slightly.
After putting the muntjac into a sack, everyone continued on their way.
Less than an hour later, Xia Siquan helped everyone hunt two pheasants and a hare.
The hunter doesn't even need to take action. He can rush forward with a few helping dogs, surround the prey, and then bite it to death and bring it back.
This easy way of hunting made Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang extremely envious, and they secretly made up their minds to get a few more good dogs.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the Yang family father and son led the way, taking a route that was overgrown with weeds and seemed rarely trodden by people.
Chen Dazhuang also took out a hatchet and went to the front to help clear the way.
After walking for a while, they came out of a forest and saw an open valley. They were located on one side of the valley.
"Where are the deer? I don't see any!"
Chen Dazhuang couldn't wait to scan the valley, but saw no sign of the deer.
"We need to walk a little further over there, and then we should be able to see them after we turn the corner, if they are not migrating."
Yang Xuewu pointed to the left and said with a smile.
"Then let's go, what are you waiting for?"
Chen Dazhuang was eager to try.
So, the group walked for a few more minutes in the direction Yang Xuewu pointed, and the terrain gradually went down.
As Yang Xuewu said, after turning a corner, the deer and the scenery on the other side of the valley appeared in sight.
There is a small stream in the valley, winding from upstream to downstream.
At this time, elks were gathering on both sides of the middle reaches of the stream. There were large areas of grassland and aquatic plants on both sides of the stream, which were the elks' favorite food.
This valley is not big and is surrounded by dense forests. Perhaps few people can come to this place, making it a suitable habitat for elk.
"There are at least twenty of them. We are rich."
Chen Dazhuang's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited.
"We should try to kill as many adult deer as possible, preferably male deer, which are valuable and have less impact on the reproduction of the deer herd. This place is very secluded, and the deer will probably come back after being frightened and running away. We can come here every year in the future."
Yang Heping expressed his thoughts.
Everyone thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
"Tell me how to act!"
Chen Wang spoke up.
"Brother Chen, please tell me!"
Yang Heping looked at Chen Jianjun and said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Wang and the others focused their attention on Chen Jianjun.
Chen Jianjun observed the terrain and the deer in the valley, thought for a long time and said, "Once the deer are disturbed, they will definitely flee to the two sides of the valley."
"I think we can send a driver to shoot the deer upstream, and the deer will definitely flee downstream. Others can wait at the entrance of the valley downstream and shoot as soon as the deer enter the range."
"At this time, the leader deer is likely to choose to lead the herd back and flee upstream, so we can also ambush and shoot at suitable places on both sides of the valley."
After listening to what Chen Jianjun said, everyone thought it was a good plan and turned their eyes to Yang Heping.
Whether it is from hunting experience or the herd of deer discovered by the Yang family father and son.
This hunting operation must be led by Yang Heping.
The plan proposed by Chen Jianjun can only be implemented with his consent.
"Then let's do as Brother Chen said."
Yang Heping nodded and began to assign personnel.
"Awang, you and Xuewen are better at shooting. You can find suitable shooting spots on both sides of the valley to ambush. As long as the spots you find are good enough, you should have two chances to shoot the deer as they come and go. It depends on you how many you can hit."
"Again, try to hunt mature bucks."
"clear!!"
Chen Wang and Yang Xuewen nodded at the same time.
Yang Heping looked at Chen Jianjun again and said, "Brother Chen, you, Xuewu and Dazhuang stay at the entrance of the valley. I will take Dabao with me to lead the charge."
"good!"
Chen Jianjun smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's get moving. Be careful not to disturb the deer."
Yang Heping raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, then said, "I will start shooting in half an hour and start driving the deer away with Dabao."
Everyone nodded and started to act separately.
Chen Jianjun, Chen Dazhuang and Yang Xuewu left first and headed straight for the entrance of the valley.
"Awang, are you going this way or the other side?"
Yang Xuewen looked at Chen Wang and asked.
"I'll go across there."
Chen Wang smiled and pointed across the valley.
"good!"
Yang Xuewen nodded.
"Then wish us good luck. I'll go find a seat first."
Chen Wang smiled and left with Dahei.
He had to go around the valley and then go to the other side of the valley to find a suitable shooting point. Half an hour was still very tight.
