Early the next morning, Chen Wang and his companion took the hunting dogs and the little monkey into the mountains again.
The two of them came earlier today, and it was just getting light when they entered the mountain.
Chen Wang raised his wrist to check the time and found that it was just past six o'clock.
"Awang, what do you say today? Which direction?"
Chen Dazhuang asked with a smile.
Chen Wang was thinking about what he heard when suddenly a loud and rhythmic chirping sound was heard.
Both of them recognized it as the call of a male pheasant.
Pheasants in the mountains are generally most active in the early morning and evening. The crowing of male pheasants is different from the crowing of roosters at home. The purpose is to declare territory and attract females.
Spring is here, everything is blooming, and pheasants have entered the mating season, and their calls are particularly loud.
When a few dogs heard the noise, they tried to rush over, but were quickly calmed down by Chen Wang and his companions.
Pheasants are different from hares in that they can fly. If a few dogs pounce on them like this, they will only be frightened and fly away.
The two men took the dog and headed in the direction where the pheasants were calling.
Pheasant is not very delicious and is not worth much, but it is meat after all!
Besides, he was shouting so loudly that he attracted their attention. It would be unreasonable not to beat him.
The chirping sound occurs every ten seconds.
After walking about seven or eight hundred meters following the sound, I saw a pheasant with gorgeous feathers and rosy cheeks in front of me.
The feathers of male pheasants become bright and gorgeous in the spring, and like their calls, they are all intended to attract females, similar to how peacocks spread their feathers to attract mates.
After calming down a few stupid dogs that were eager to try, Chen Wang took the slingshot handed to him by Chen Dazhuang and took aim.
It is really not cost-effective to shoot pheasants with a shotgun.
"Bang!!!"
The glass bead hit the pheasant accurately, causing its chirping to stop abruptly.
The pheasant was hurt and flapped its wings to fly away, but its right wing was shot through and it couldn't fly at all.
"Da Hu, Da Hei, Ru Yi, go up!!"
"Marshal, King of Hell, come on!"
Chen Wang and the other man released the dogs immediately.
Several dogs rushed out one after another.
At this moment, a gray-brown pheasant in the bushes on the other side was frightened and flew away from the dangerous place.
This is a female pheasant, which was probably attracted by the call of the male pheasant.
"Awang Awang, hurry up, there is one more."
Chen Dazhuang shouted in surprise.
“Yes.”
Chen Wang responded, but found that the distance was beyond the range of the slingshot. He decisively dropped the slingshot in his hand, took off the shotgun on his back and quickly aimed.
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!"
Chen Dazhuang also fired a shot almost at the same time.
The pheasant flying in the air was hit and fell directly into the bushes.
"Beautiful, who of us hit the target?"
Chen Dazhuang asked with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Two bullets to shoot a pheasant, don't you think it's a waste?"
Chen Wang asked back with a wry smile.
Actually, he had almost used up all his bullets, especially the single-barreled bullets which consumed more energy.
Next time I go to the city, I have to buy more. Bullets will only become harder and harder to buy in the future.
Hearing this, Chen Dazhuang's smile froze, and he scratched his head and said, "It's really not worth it."
Chen Wang picked up the slingshot on the ground, smiled and said, "Let's go, pick it up quickly, don't let it escape without killing it, that would be even more of a loss."
"Yes, yes, I'll go find it!"
Chen Dazhuang nodded repeatedly, then ran to look for it in the bushes.
At the same time, the male pheasant that was injured by the slingshot was also held in Dahu's mouth and ran towards Chen Wang happily.
Da Hu ran over with the dog in his mouth, and the dog's tail behind him was shaking like a propeller.
Chen Wang squatted down, took the pheasant, stroked the dog's head and praised: "Well done."
"Woof!"
Da Hu barked, sticking out his tongue, and the dog's tail wagged even faster.
In comparison, Ruyi and Dahei seemed a little depressed.
The Marshal and the King of Hell failed to grab the pheasant, so they turned around and ran to Chen Dazhuang.
"It's okay, you guys are great too!"
Chen Wang stroked the heads of Ruyi and Dahei one by one to cheer the two dogs up.
Both dogs regained their energy immediately.
"Awang, look, I found it."
Chen Dazhuang walked over with a smile, holding the pheasant.
"Just find it."
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
Then, the two of them started processing the pheasant.
They simply ripped the chicken open and threw the liver, heart and gizzards to the dogs, and stuffed the rest of the meat into a sack.
"I'm lucky today. I got a one-get-one-free deal right after I came in."
Chen Dazhuang grinned.
"This magnetic one was attracted by the call."
"Yes, in the past, there were also skilled hunters who used that kind of whistle to imitate the call of a male pheasant, which could attract it even when it was not in the mating season."
“So amazing?”
Chen Wang had a surprised expression on his face.
"My dad told me."
"Master also knows this?"
"Won't."
"All right!"
Chen Wang shrugged.
He said that if the master knew this technique, he would definitely teach it to them.
"Where are we going next?"
"Let's go to the stream. We can pluck the pheasant, wash it, and roast it. You didn't have breakfast, so I brought salt and seasoning."
“Sure, sure.”
