After resting at home for two days, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang, who were fully refreshed, went into the mountains again.
Chen Dazhuang seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little tune all the way, as if he was out for fun.
By the end of this month, their house will be basically completed, and then on the 22nd of next month, he can marry his new wife.
A beautiful and happy life is just around the corner.
"Sweet, your smile is so sweet..."
Chen Dazhuang was swinging a wooden stick and humming a little tune with a smile on his face.
"Okay, can you please stop singing?"
Chen Wang said unhappily.
"What's wrong?"
“It’s so ugly!”
"Are you kidding? My Alan said I sing well!"
Chen Dazhuang retorted seriously.
Alan is his soon-to-be-married daughter-in-law, whose full name is Yan Yulan.
Chen Wang's eyes twitched fiercely a few times, and he said with a dark face: "Then you should sing more for her in the future, and stop singing for me."
"Humph, if you don't want to sing, then don't sing. You really don't know how to appreciate it. You are just blatantly jealous."
Chen Dazhuang glanced at him with disdain.
Black lines appeared on Chen Wang's forehead, and he resisted the urge to hit him.
This daughter-in-law is about to become famous even before she is married.
"Brother Zhuang, we are both about to get married for the second time, so please be more stable, okay?"
Chen Wang spoke in a serious tone, intentionally emphasizing the word "second marriage".
"What's wrong with a second marriage? Isn't it just for me to find a good wife?"
Chen Dazhuang held his head high and chest puffed out, with a smug smile on his face.
"Have you ever heard that too much happiness leads to sorrow? Can we stop setting crazy goals?"
"Pay brother? What do you mean?"
"It's meaningless, just stop floating now!"
"I'm not floating either!"
Chen Dazhuang shrugged.
I'm often with Chen Wang, so he can understand the word "floating".
"It's not even floating yet, just like that kite, it's almost up in the sky!"
"No way, don't talk nonsense."
"well!"
"Why are you sighing?"
Chen Dazhuang rolled his eyes.
Chen Wang was about to say something when Ruyi discovered some prey and rushed out shouting.
Several dogs followed immediately.
Chen Wang and the other man saw a gray figure and guessed it was a rabbit, so they didn't follow it.
Firstly, it is a waste of energy. Secondly, a few dogs are hunting small animals such as pheasants and rabbits, so there is no need for them to get involved.
Sure enough, after the two waited there for seven or eight minutes, they saw a few dogs coming back.
The rabbit was held in Ruyi's mouth, twitching from time to time, looking half dead and half alive.
Ruyi, who is now almost one year old, has grown taller without anyone noticing. Not only has his sense of smell become more acute, but his speed and strength are also almost as good as Dahu and Dahei.
Among this gang of five dogs, Ruyi gradually showed the talent and aura of a leader.
“Well done.”
Chen Wang took the rabbit out of its mouth and took out a piece of dried meat from the medicine basket and fed it to Ruyi.
Since the hunting started last year, all the leftover meat at home has been marinated, smoked and air-dried by Lin Xiuqin to make jerky and meat strips that are suitable as snacks.
When he went to the imperial capital a few days ago, Lin Xiuqin took out the first few pieces of pickled meat, cut some dried meat strips, fried them in oil, and sprinkled them with cumin powder, chili powder and other seasonings.
"Give me a piece to try!"
Chen Dazhuang stretched out his hand enviously.
Chen Wang glanced at him, took out two pieces of dried meat, stuffed one into his hand, and put the hare into the sack.
"Mm, delicious, flavorful!"
Tearing off a piece of meat and chewing it, Chen Dazhuang nodded in praise with a smile.
Chen Wang also took a bite. It was spicy, fresh and chewy. Since it was fried in oil, it was not as dry and hard to chew as he had imagined.
The two men ate dried meat and continued searching forward, and gradually caught several pheasants and rabbits.
During this month, they only went into the mountains to hunt for about ten days in total, and their luck was not very good. Apart from killing a wild boar and a roe deer, the rest were basically pheasants and rabbits.
"Bang!!"
Suddenly, gunshots were heard not far away.
The two men's faces changed slightly and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the gunshot.
There are hunters in several villages, but they go into the mountains from different places, so it is generally not easy to encounter them.
They had been hunting for more than half a year, and this was the first time they had run into fellow hunters in the mountains, and from the sound of them, they seemed so close.
"Bang!!!"
Another gunshot was heard.
"Awang, what do you mean, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Chen Dazhuang looked at Chen Wang inquiringly.
Chen Wang looked hesitant.
These days, death in the mountains is very common.
Some died at the hands of wild beasts, but others killed each other for various reasons.
Even if the accomplices have agreed to form a team, sometimes they will kill their accomplices because of greed after getting valuable "big stuff" or because of uneven distribution, and then bury them somewhere.
After returning to the village, they made up an excuse, saying that they had encountered a wild beast and got lost while fleeing.
If the police come and ask questions but the defendant knows nothing, the case will be difficult to investigate.
It was even more exaggerated in the early years.
There are many unwritten rules for hunting.
Just like in the current situation, it’s best not to meddle in other people’s business.
If the other party is hunting a valuable prey and they rush over rashly, their bullets will not hit them.
"Let's just forget it."
Chen Wang shook his head and rejected it.
Chen Dazhuang nodded and said nothing more.
Having been exposed to hunting since childhood, he understood more about some hunting rules, but he hadn't met his companions in the mountains for a long time. He was a little curious about who they were and what prey they had encountered.
At this moment, the roar of wild boars came from far away, and the bushes not far to the side parted into a line and rushed towards them.
“Get out of the way!!”
Chen Wang yelled urgently and quickly stepped back.
Chen Dazhuang and several dogs also reacted and took a few steps back.
A wounded wild boar rushed out of the bushes and ran past them, spilling a lot of blood on the ground.
Chen Dazhuang raised his shotgun and was about to shoot, but Chen Wang raised his hand to hold him down.
"Don't fight, someone is coming!"
Chen Wang pointed in the direction where the wild boar was escaping.
The wild boar was obviously injured, and shooting at this time would be tantamount to stealing the prey.
When Chen Dazhuang looked over, he first saw two dogs running towards him, and then a familiar stern face.
Yan Laoliu!!
When he saw the two people, Yan Laoliu was also stunned.
"Uncle Six, the wild boar is going over there!"
After a brief moment of confusion, Chen Wang hurriedly helped to point the way.
"Thank you."
Yan Laoliu nodded, thanked him, and trotted after the hunting dog.
Chen Wang looked at the two dogs and sized up the dog he had never seen before. It seemed to be a local hunting dog.
The last time Yan Laoliu hunted a big tiger, one of his dogs was killed, but he also made a lot of money, so it was not difficult to buy a new hunting dog.
