Yunxiu did not follow Zhao Wei this time because she had her period.
No matter how strong a woman is, her body will suffer when she has this. Zhao Wei couldn't bear to let her go into the mountains and freeze.
The two dogs only took away the big yellow dog.
This dog's IQ is higher than Dahei's, and he has the best relationship with him in the past few days.
It is best for the stupid ones to stay at home to guard the house and bite people to warn them.
All they had to bring were three days' worth of dry food and some self-defense gear.
The most important thing is the rope, which is all hand-twisted hemp rope. The quality is quite good. After all, this thing is often used in the countryside, and almost every household makes its own.
Holding the dog, Zhao Wei led his men into the mountains for the first time.
At this time of year, the snow in the village has melted. Only after walking all the way to the middle of the mountain did we see snow.
The road was difficult to travel on, and Zhao Wei had to look for traces of wild animals while walking, so his speed was naturally not fast.
He was not very familiar with this forest, and he relied entirely on past experience and the ability to sense danger to get around.
As a scout at this time, what he learned was complementary to hunting, allowing him to easily avoid some harmful beings.
For example, potholes formed by fallen branches, or pits covered with snow after the collapse of wild animal caves, may cause sprains, fractures, etc. if you accidentally fall into them.
In addition, there are some hidden ditches that are difficult to detect after being covered by snow, and once an accident occurs, it can be fatal.
As for sneak attacks by wild beasts, they are something we need to be most vigilant about.
Food is hard to find in winter, and many wild animals are starving. Not to mention seeing people, they even want to take a bite of feces.
Hunger can make wild beasts become ferocious, and if you are not prepared, the entire army may be wiped out.
The most terrifying situation is being surrounded and attacked by a group of beasts.
Zhao Wei had to be responsible for the people he brought with him, and all he asked them to do along the way was to keep quiet and not make any noise that would affect his vision and hearing.
The team was dispersed by him after marching for an hour.
Those who are relatively young and strong will lead the way, while the rest of the people will be responsible for some of the guards and some of the firewood to ensure that there will be enough firewood to keep warm when their bodies are not hot enough.
The team would stop to rest and drink some hot water every once in a while to keep themselves strong at all times.
At lunch time, after walking for a long time, they still hadn't caught any prey and could only eat the dry food they brought with them.
Most people bring fried noodles, which are fried wheat noodles. You can eat them by mixing them with boiling water in an enamel cup.
A small number of people brought multi-grain steamed buns, which looked black, bitter and difficult to swallow, but were eaten by everyone.
Zhao Wei brought meat patties, which made him feel a little embarrassed. It would be a sin to eat too well at this time.
After thinking about it, he realized that even if he couldn't find big prey, he could still catch small ones easily.
So he took out his slingshot and fired a series of slingshots into the woods, breaking the tranquility of this world.
All of a sudden, the frightened birds flapped their wings and flew out, gathering in the sky and chirping.
It was at this time that he kept shooting, and birds kept falling with broken wings.
When everyone saw this, they thought that he had great aim and almost every bullet hit the target. Every small stone he threw could hit a bird. He was simply a sharpshooter.
Zhao Wei naturally would not indulge in this little praise. He just counted silently in his heart. He stopped only after he had killed 19.
My hands are sore, so let's just share one for two people. Even though there is less meat, it's better than eating vegetarian food.
When everyone saw the power of the slingshot, they were busy roasting the bird and felt very annoyed. They shouted that they would make one when they got home and learn to use a slingshot in the future.
Zhao Wei heard this and said to them, "If you want to learn how to shoot birds, you don't have to go through so much trouble. When you see a bamboo forest, remind me. I will then make you some simple bows and arrows so that you can easily get started."
Anyway, it's just for them to practice. Zhao Wei doesn't expect these people to be of any help. The meaning of their existence is to help carry the beasts when they are killed. After all, his strength is limited.
Everyone found what he said interesting and their depressed mood disappeared. They started to roast the bird happily.
This bird is quite small, and it is incredible to have 2 taels of meat.
But the fragrance can spread for miles.
Just when everyone had eaten the bird clean, including the bones and meat, the sound of footsteps on snow suddenly came from the surroundings.
Zhao Wei suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet.
"Hush! There's a wild beast approaching, stay hidden."
The people present were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They held their axe and looked around, extremely nervous.
Not long after, Zhao Wei saw a white wild beast jumping down from a big rock and biting towards where everyone was.
The beast's agility and ferocity are simply beyond human control.
Zhao Wei only had time to raise his gun and didn't even bother to aim. He just fired at the beast based on his feeling.
When the fierce gunfire rang out, Da Huang started to scream wildly, appearing to be irritable and wanting to escape.
Unfortunately, the chain was tied firmly to the tree trunk, preventing it from escaping.
Zhao Wei's shot did not hit the beast's vital parts, but only scratched its skin.
By the time the beast fell to the ground, knocked one of the team members to the ground and pretended to bite him, he had already reacted and fired the second shot.
This time it hit him right on the forehead, and a burst of blood spurted out, splashing all over the team member's face.
This team member had never seen such a bloody and violent thing. His eyes rolled back and he fainted in a very shameless manner.
It was at this time that Zhao Wei rushed forward and recognized the white beast.
This turned out to be an extremely rare blood leopard. The skin of this guy was quite valuable. Of course, it was still inferior to that of a tiger, but at least it was a good start and everyone no longer had to worry about going hungry.
Zhao Wei was an expert at skinning, and he quickly skinned the snow leopard, then gave the meat to the team members to process.
Whether they want to eat it or wait to sell it for money and split it equally, Zhao Wei will not interfere and will just follow their ideas.
Naturally, everyone was reluctant to eat. After eating dry food and roasted bird meat, they were not very greedy at the moment. They just wanted to earn more money for their families.
Zhao Wei divided the blood, feathers, and unwanted internal organs on the ground equally and used them to make six traps.
Each trap is designed according to local conditions, mainly using lasso traps, and the purpose is naturally to lure wild beasts that smell the blood.
When he did all this, he was only accompanied by his five disciples, including Erlaizi, and did not hide it from the rest of the team members.
It's just that these people were ordered by him to dig holes and prepare to make deep traps, so it's not his fault.
Ahem…
