Hearing that Lin Mo had agreed, the three Miao brothers hurriedly urged him to go into the mountains, fearing that he might change his mind.
This really messed up Lin Mo. He wanted to take his time going into the mountains, but suddenly it felt like three people were pushing him from behind.
Okay.
"Go feed the pigs first. If we can get piglets from those pigs, raising pigs is better than raising rabbits."
When the four arrived at the pit where the wild boar had been caught, the boar was so hungry that its eyes were red.
Six sweet potatoes were tossed in, and the wild boar began to eat them with grunts and snorts, as if it were starving.
Trading wild boars for piglets is also a laborious task.
First, you need a car, right?
Then, you need to be able to control the pig and prevent it from jumping off the vehicle, right?
The most important thing is to find a farm that is willing to switch to.
There's no way to rely on the three Miao brothers for this. Their thinking is different from his; they're only thinking about personal gain and getting peanuts.
Only he dared to go to the breeding farm to "suicide".
"It seems like it hasn't eaten enough yet, why is it lying down again?" Awang squatted down next to the pit and peeked out to observe the wild boar's condition.
"So what if we're not full? We don't have many sweet potatoes left, just two-tenths of an acre, cough cough cough!" Ah Jun chimed in, but accidentally let slip that he had two-tenths of an acre of private land behind his house.
"Only two acres? The ridge is so big, you can easily find a flat patch and cultivate two acres. Anyway, no one comes into the ridge, so we're not afraid of being discovered." Lin Mo deliberately replied casually, revealing his selfish motives.
Miao Qingsong didn't think much about it. One thought was to learn hunting from Li Liangsheng, and the other was that his house was too dilapidated to hide anything.
The thought of the six rabbits I had painstakingly acquired earlier, which I had barely brought home before being stolen by someone, made me realize how precious they were.
He feels completely insecure right now.
"Let's go, head west along the Nenjiang River, and we're sure to find some wild game drinking by the river!"
"For example, pheasants, roe deer, and all kinds of deer, hehe."
Lin Mo was already conjuring up meat jelly in his mind.
Roe deer meat is best when cooked into meat jelly; the flavor is so delicious, it's indescribable.
Deer is out of the question; venison doesn't taste good, and even cats and dogs dislike it.
Ideally, we'd like to catch some pheasants and roe deer.
The four of them first walked down the mountain ridge back to the Nenjiang River, and then walked westward for more than an hour.
The Nenjiang River has a strong current, which is why it hasn't frozen over yet, but there are already ice floes floating on the surface.
The closer it gets to winter, the more ice floes there are, and the larger the ice floes become as they move downstream.
Lin Mo, who was walking west along the shore, soon spotted some droppings on the ground that looked like sheep droppings.
This patch and that patch of land were clearly left by groups of three to five roe deer, not by solitary roe deer.
"Stop, go into the mountains, hide yourself in the forest and keep going."
Based on my experience watching short videos, I know that roe deer and pheasants can be found in this area.
We walked a little further through the woods, navigating around the trees with difficulty.
Lin Mo indeed spotted more than a dozen pheasants splashing and playing in the river!
Some pheasants stood on the floating ice blocks, and only took off and returned to the flock when the ice blocks had almost drifted away.
Even more astonishingly, there were also two roe deer!
The pheasant, like teasing a dog, would sometimes take flight and sometimes swoop down on the roe deer, startling the roe deer so much that its rear end turned white.
"Eeeee!" Miao Qingsong excitedly covered his mouth, frantically tugging at Lin Mo's coat to remind him that he had spotted some wild game.
"Brother Lin! How do we do it! How do we catch it!" Ah Wang was also very excited, but he didn't know how to catch it.
I was extremely excited, but I knew I couldn't make a loud noise and scare the wild game away, so I could only call out in a low voice.
Lin Mo calmly and methodically began to give instructions in a low voice:
“Awang and Ajun, you two continue walking forward for a while, until you are almost directly behind the roe deer.”
"Tie the two ends of the hemp rope tightly to the tree, about 20 centimeters off the ground."
“These are called tripping barriers. They are set up every two or three meters to see if they can trip up the roe deer.”
Having received the instructions, the two brothers quickly crouched down and went.
Miao Qingsong had already taken out his slingshot and was just waiting for Lin Mo's instructions.
Actually, shooting with a slingshot requires practice; those who haven't practiced won't be accurate.
Lin Mo also took out his slingshot and picked up a small pebble from the ground:
"Let me try it out first and see how it goes."
As he spoke, Lin Mo raised his hand to nock the bow, and quietly moved closer to the flock of pheasants while aiming the slingshot at the target.
"call out!"
Lin Mo aimed at a pheasant that was drifting steadily westward on the ice floe, and moved his aim slightly forward.
When I felt it was about time, I immediately let go.
But then a soft, muffled "thump" was heard, and the pheasant that Lin Mo had been aiming at suddenly swayed to the side, lying there on the ice floe, flapping its colorful wings wildly.
A drop of thick, fresh blood dripped from the chicken's head onto the floating ice, instantly freezing into a blood-ice droplet.
"Eeeeeee!" Miao Qingsong covered his mouth even harder, so excited he almost jumped up:
"Hit!"
Before the pheasants realized the danger, Lin Mo decisively drew his bow again.
Aiming at a pheasant standing on the bank, pecking at water to drink.
At that moment, Miao Qingsong couldn't hold back any longer. He also stretched out his slingshot and aimed at a pheasant standing behind the roe deer.
"call out!"
"call out!"
Two crisp sounds rang out in succession.
Lin Mo's pebble hit the chicken's head precisely.
Miao Qingsong, however, hit the roe deer on the rump.
The roe deer suddenly felt a pain in its rump and jumped up high in surprise.
This sudden jump completely disrupted the originally picturesque and tranquil landscape painting.
The roe deer hopped and skipped away, turning and running into the mountains.
The flock of pheasants flapped their wings and scattered into the air.
This situation made Lin Mo feel a little disappointed. Since he had already disturbed them, he had no choice but to show himself and catch the two pheasants first.
"Hehe, pheasants, and they're all females." That's good news; the pheasants can be kept at home with their legs tied to lay eggs.
Miao Qingsong was both happy and anxious, realizing he had messed things up.
Unable to contain his excitement, he made a move, which actually backfired.
"Brother Lin, I'm sorry." He envied the two pheasants Lin Mo was holding, and felt a pang of disappointment.
"It's alright, it's already good that we managed to shoot two."
Shortly after offering a word of comfort, a series of screams and shouts suddenly came from the ridge behind them.
Oh my god!
"Run! Run!!"
Within ten seconds, Awang and Ajun emerged from the woods in a panic, their faces still showing signs of shock.
"My God, that scared me to death."
"We were still tying the third tripwire when two roe deer charged at us."
"Luckily it didn't hit my face, I was so scared."
Awang patted his chest in alarm, but when he saw the two pheasants in Lin Mo's hand, his fright vanished and turned into delight.
Wow! A pheasant! What a beautiful pheasant!
"Brother Lin, can two tripping devices trip up a roe deer?"
