Chapter 12: Tracking



"The mountains are not like home. You will have to follow my orders later."

"If you act recklessly and cause danger, don't blame me for leaving you there."

Zhang Jili was carrying a large bow and a pot of arrows on his back. He also had a sack on his left shoulder, which made a jingling sound when he walked. It must have been filled with animal traps or something.

His face was weather-beaten, and there was a hideous scar on his left cheek, which added a murderous look to his already rough and ferocious features.

Zhang Mingtu nodded repeatedly. Although Zhang Jili spoke seriously, he was generous in teaching him all kinds of hunting knowledge.

"Hares usually follow familiar routes, so as long as you find traces of a hare and set up a trap on the road, you can usually catch one..."

"When you find a hare's tracks, you can't look down from above. You have to get down on your hands and knees and look through the grass. A hare will usually leave a hole when it walks..."

The sounds in the mountains are very strange. It is very quiet when walking in the mountains, and you can hear sounds from far away areas.

It seemed as if there were only Zhang Mingtu and Zhang Jili in the whole world.

But in this quiet environment, the sounds of birds can be clearly heard, adding a bit of strangeness to this quiet environment.

Explain all the way and move forward.

Although Zhang Jili looks rough, he is very thoughtful.

He explained the habits of various animals in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and it was obvious that he often went into the mountains.

Except for the very serious words at the beginning, which made Zhang Mingtu feel a little uncomfortable, he acted very well as a teacher afterwards.

Zhang Mingtu knew this kind of rhetoric, so he made the bottom line and rules clear from the beginning and played the villain.

Later, use gentle words to explain the situation. This will establish your authority and make subsequent teaching easier.

The superiors in the company are really good at using this method, and it can even be said that they have reached the level of perfection.

In this regard, Zhang Jili, this rough man, is still far behind.

At least this relationship and the things taught by Zhang Mingtu's uncle, who is quite a good cousin, are all real things.

If you really learn it, hunting in the mountains and making a living is not difficult at all.

On the way, they encountered some pheasants and hares, and Zhang Mingtu wanted to try his hand at them.

But Zhang Jili was completely indifferent and walked straight forward.

Although Zhang Mingtu was puzzled, his uncle had always been good to his family, so he suppressed his doubts and followed Zhang Jili into the mountains obediently.

After walking for an unknown distance, Zhang Jili suddenly stopped, and Zhang Mingtu also stopped. It was seen that Zhang Mingtu had been listening carefully all the way without asking too many questions or saying too much.

Zhang Jili felt slightly satisfied, and without explaining, he bent down and parted the grass.

Zhang Mingtu looked in the direction and found a series of footprints on the ground. The footprints looked very much like the cow hoof prints at home, but they were obviously smaller than cow hooves. They looked like pig hooves, but seemed to be larger than ordinary pig hooves.

"This is?"

"These are wild boar's tracks."

Zhang Jili looked up at the sky and explained in a low voice, "This is my goal today. This pig looks quite large, probably around 300 kilograms. It should be enough for you to eat for a while."

Zhang Mingtu was shocked and slightly moved.

This cousin must have learned from his mother Wang Yulan that Zhang Mingtu had a good appetite recently.

This is the case for all those who practice the Bull Power Fist. The higher the talent, the more they eat.

Killing two pheasants and rabbits would be enough for Zhang Mingtu to have a meal.

Although Zhang Jili had spoken harshly before, he still cared about Zhang Mingtu in his heart.

Zhang Jili didn't care what Zhang Mingtu was thinking and continued, "Wild boars are active at night. It's already dawn now, so they should be sleeping and resting."

"Follow these footprints and you'll find a group of wild boars. You're lucky. It rained a little last night, so these footprints are very fresh..."

"Look at the direction these footprints are heading..."

Zhang Jili is worthy of being an old hunter who often hunts in the mountains. He explains things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

And following the footprints, we gradually approached a bush area.

As he approached the bushes, Zhang Jili's footsteps became noticeably lighter, and there was hardly any sound when he stepped on the fallen leaves.

Zhang Mingtu watched with his heart tightening. He held his breath and followed behind carefully.

"It's right inside!"

Zhang Jili lowered his voice. In fact, Zhang Mingtu could already hear the faint grunting of the pig without Zhang Jili's reminder.

Deep in the shadows of the dense bushes, clusters of black shadows can be vaguely seen.

"How do we fight? Are we just going to fight the wild boar?"

Zhang Mingtu was nervous and sweat was oozing from his palms, but at the same time he felt a faint sense of excitement.

"Can you shoot arrows?"

“Not really…”

Before he could finish his words, a large bow half a man's height and a small pot of arrows were stuffed into Zhang Mingtu's hands.

"Climb the tree yourself!"

He pointed to a big tree nearby that was as thick as two people's waists. After giving the order, he saw Zhang Mingtu had already climbed up the tree.

Zhang Jili took out a... slingshot from his pocket.

Zhang Jili stared with wide eyes as Zhang Jili took out a rope from a small bag on his waist.

The slingshot was fully drawn, and there was no sign of how to aim, when the grunting of the wild boar in the grass suddenly became louder.

The dark shadow ran around wildly, and in just two breaths, six wild boars, two large and four small, jumped out.

They ran in an irregular and chaotic manner, and at a very fast speed. Zhang Mingtu was climbing on a tree, and his bow and arrow had not yet been drawn.

There was only a buzzing sound of the bowstring vibrating, and when I looked again, the six wild boars had disappeared.

"this……"

Zhang Mingtu and the others were stunned

"This is too much."
