Perhaps because they hadn't gone into the mountains to hunt for a long time, the two of them were really lucky today.
After picking enough Artemisia capillaris, the two walked a short distance before they discovered traces of a herd of deer passing by.
There were many deer footprints and deer droppings on the ground.
Before the two had time to be happy, they discovered that the feces on the ground were very dry and hard, obviously a lot of time had passed.
It is unlikely to harvest another wave of deer.
But the next second, the surprise came quite suddenly.
The two saw a pair of shed antlers under a tree ahead.
Many deer begin to shed their antlers in the winter. In order to make room for the new year's antlers, male deer will rub their antlers against tree trunks to make them fall off faster.
Naturally, the two also saw traces of antlers rubbing against the tree trunk.
"We are so lucky today. We can even pick up money while walking."
Chen Dazhuang said with a smile as he stuffed the antlers into the sack.
Chen Wang was in a good mood too. He smiled and nodded, saying, "There are a lot of treasures in the mountains. As long as you are lucky, it is normal to pick up money while walking."
"Let's continue following this trail. Maybe we can still find it."
Chen Dazhuang made a suggestion.
"Then let's look for it again!"
Chen Wang also expressed his agreement.
So, the two of them followed the traces on the ground and looked around for any antlers that might be left.
The little monkey was very smart and climbed up the tree to help search.
After searching for nearly half an hour, I found nothing.
“Squeak!”
Just when the two were feeling a little disappointed, the cry of a little monkey was heard from the tree in front of them.
The two of them looked delighted and hurriedly ran towards the sound.
The little monkey came down from a tree and ran to the foot of another tree, trying to pick up the deer antler, but he didn't have enough strength.
Just a few steps away, there was another antler, also a pair.
"Jixiang, well done."
Chen Dazhuang excitedly gave his praise.
Chen Wang walked over, took out a banana from the medicine basket and handed it to the little monkey.
This was originally lunch prepared for it, so I gave it to it as a reward in advance.
"Chichi, chichi!"
The little monkey happily took the banana, peeled it skillfully and started eating it.
Chen Wang picked up the deer antler, and Chen Dazhuang also picked up another deer antler and stuffed them into the sack together.
"Two pairs, not bad, not bad, I made a lot of money today."
Chen Dazhuang grinned foolishly.
Both pairs of antlers are relatively large, and they fell off automatically and are very complete. Together they can be sold for at least four or five hundred yuan.
I continued to search around with great enthusiasm, but unfortunately my luck seemed to have run out. I searched back and forth several times but was unable to pick up any fallen antlers.
It was noon now, and the two found a clean and open place. They took out flatbread and pickled vegetables from the medicine basket and started eating.
"It looks like it can't be found. What a pity!"
Chen Dazhuang said with a look of regret.
"It's a blessing to find two pairs. If there were such a good chance to find such a treasure, wouldn't all the villagers come to the mountains?"
Chen Wang smiled and said comfortingly. He was in a very good mood.
"That's true."
After hearing what he said, Chen Dazhuang's mood improved.
Fortunately, the pancake was very filling, so the two of them ate and drank their fill, rested for a while, and then continued on their journey.
The weather is very good today, and the afternoon sun feels warm on my body.
Maybe their luck had really run out, but in the next two hours, the two men didn’t even see a hair of the prey.
"How about trying your luck in the wild boar forest?"
Chen Wang made a suggestion.
There is no fresh meat at home at the moment. We promised the construction team to have meat once a week, but we can’t let them eat bacon and smoked meat every time.
If we could bring back a wild boar, it would sustain us for a long time and we wouldn't have to spend money on meat.
"I agree. Let's go and take a look over there."
Chen Dazhuang nodded repeatedly and agreed.
He and Chen Wang had similar thoughts and were even more reluctant to spend money to buy meat for the workers.
The two men changed direction and headed towards the wild boar forest.
I also shot a pheasant on the way, which was better than nothing.
After searching the wild boar forest, no signs of wild boar activities were found.
Thinking of the highlight moment last year when they hunted three wild boars at once in this place and brought back the whole family of three, the two could only sigh helplessly.
"Awang, it seems like there are fewer and fewer prey in this mountain every year!"
Chen Dazhuang kicked a branch under his feet away with a somewhat gloomy expression.
“It’s inevitable.”
Chen Wang smiled and said, "In a few years, maybe the country won't allow hunting anymore?"
"Ah? No way, what about those of us who make a living by hunting?"
Chen Dazhuang suddenly became anxious.
"So you have to save more money and find other ways to make money. Hunting is not sustainable. For example, the government is very strict with giant pandas now. Those who steal and poach them have a bad ending. In a few years, many animals will be protected by the country."
"This...then we can't hunt, what else can we do?"
"Don't worry, there are many ways to make money, and our lives will only get better and better."
Chen Wang smiled confidently.
"Awang, you have a lot of ideas. If you have other ways to make money in the future, you have to help me!"
Chen Dazhuang requested with a smile.
"Of course, as long as you are willing to follow."
"Nonsense, I'm not stupid, don't think you can get rich by yourself."
