Before New Year's Day, a cold front arrived and a light snow fell.
The next day, the sky cleared up, and Chen Wang and his companions decided to go hunting for the last time of the year.
As we all know, the success rate of hunting after snow is relatively high.
After the snow, the animals in the mountains will be more active, the traces they leave behind will be clearer, and the visibility will be better on sunny days after the snow.
The two men put on military coats that were very warm and went into the mountains with hunting dogs and shotguns.
This time's luck is obviously much better than last time.
Of course, it might also be because of the snow. Not long after the two entered the mountain, Ruyi discovered a silly roe deer.
The fur of the silly roe deer turned gray-brown, similar to the snowy environment. If it weren't for Ruyi's keen sense of smell, it would have been difficult for the two of them to spot it with their naked eyes.
Chen Wang tried to fire a shot, but the distance was too far and he missed.
The silly roe deer was frightened and turned around and ran away. At this time, the ball of white hair on its tail became very conspicuous.
Ruyi led a few hunting dogs to chase after them, and Chen Wang and the other man were neither hurried nor slow, following the footprints on the ground.
When they arrived, they found that the stupid roe deer had been tortured to death by several hunting dogs, lying on the ground whimpering in despair.
Chen Dazhuang walked over quickly, took out a knife, squatted down, and gave it a quick kill.
The skin of this silly roe deer has been bitten into tatters and is of no value at all.
Several dogs squatted there in a row, sticking out their long tongues, looking at Chen Wang with expectant eyes, thinking that they had done a good job and eager to get the dried meat reward.
Chen Wang was so angry that he laughed. He bent down and slapped each dog, causing them to bark in grievance.
They don’t understand!
I worked so hard to catch the prey, but not only did I not get any reward, I even got beaten!
"A few stupid dogs, dare to bark, do you still deserve a beating?"
Chen Wang raised his hand to scare them.
A few dogs shrank their heads and dared not say a word.
Chen Dazhuang threw the entrails of the silly roe deer to the dogs and said jokingly, "Awang, you are bullying the dogs!"
Chen Wang didn't take it seriously: "Who bullied them? I'm just teaching them a lesson. A good piece of skin is worth dozens of dollars, but it was wasted like this."
"Maybe this stupid roe deer is fighting back desperately. That's all they can do. Aren't you asking too much of them?"
"Isn't it better to have higher requirements? This is just roe deer skin. What if it's bear skin or leopard skin next time?"
"Uh... that's true, how about you slap them twice more?"
Chen Dazhuang's expression changed at the speed of light.
Thinking of the scene of the valuable bear skin and leopard skin being destroyed, he suddenly felt that Chen Wang had not hit him lightly.
"Are you a devil?"
Chen Wang smiled and rolled his eyes.
After Chen Dazhuang finished dealing with the silly roe deer and threw it into a sack, the two men continued on their way with the dog.
Over the next hour, several dogs caught several pheasants and rabbits, and Chen Wang and his companions also shot a few birds that they couldn't name with slingshots.
"It's good to have snow. It seems easy to find prey today!"
Chen Dazhuang sighed with a smile.
Chen Wang nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the chirping sound of a little monkey coming closer and closer.
The voice sounded panicked.
Chen Wang frowned and looked in the direction of the voice with a serious expression.
"What's going on?"
Chen Dazhuang also had a puzzled expression on his face.
Soon, the two saw Jixiang leaping quickly from the tree.
In the air behind it, two golden eagles were chasing it with their wings spread.
“Fuck!”
Chen Dazhuang couldn't help but swear, and he raised the shotgun in his hand and aimed.
The same is true for Chen Wang.
The little monkey Jixiang has become like a family member to their family, and they must not let these two beasts hurt him.
“Squeak, squeak…”
Jixiang was running and shouting, and when he turned around he saw a golden eagle swooping down and trying to grab him with its sharp claws.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.
The bullet missed the golden eagle.
It is very difficult to hit a target flying in the air with a double-barreled shotgun like this.
However, the gunshots scared the two golden eagles, causing them to give up chasing the little monkey and flap their wings to rise higher.
The little monkey jumped down from the tree, ran quickly to Chen Wang, climbed up his legs and onto his shoulders, panting.
"Where did you provoke them?"
Chen Wang asked angrily and amusedly.
“Chichi… squeak…”
The little monkey kept calling, pointing in a certain direction ahead, and then raised his hand to point at the two golden eagles.
"Please, I don't understand your monkey language!"
Chen Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It sounds like something happened before.
But he still didn't understand why the little monkey would provoke these two golden eagles.
The little monkey had a grudge against the golden eagle. If he and Chen Dazhuang had not arrived in time, the little monkey would have been in great danger and the monkey group would have suffered heavy losses.
However, the little monkey is not stupid. On the contrary, it is very smart among animals, with an IQ equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.
Why would he provoke these two golden eagles when he knew he was no match for them?
Could it be that another group of monkeys was in danger, and it risked its life to become a hero and lure these two golden eagles over?
"What do you mean, go over and take a look?"
Chen Dazhuang asked with a smile.
Chen Wang looked up at the two golden eagles, only to see that they were still circling in the sky, unwilling to leave.
I don’t know what the little monkey did to make the two golden eagles hate it so much.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
Chen Wang walked in the direction indicated by the little monkey.
"Would your Jixiang steal their nest?"
Chen Dazhuang followed and guessed with a smile.
"How is that possible? How can Jixiang be that capable?"
Chen Wang shook his head.
The golden eagle's nest is usually on a steep cliff, and even if the little monkey is good at climbing trees, it is difficult to get up there.
Furthermore, this season is not the time for golden eagles to lay eggs, so there are no eggs for them to take out of the nest.
Two golden eagles followed them and circled above their heads.
"Awang, these two beasts are not going anywhere. Do you want to find a way to beat them up?"
"How do we hit it from such a high altitude? It's a moving target. Do you have any idea?"
“Not yet.”
"What the hell!"
Chen Wang rolled his eyes.
“Squeak, squeak!”
The little monkey stood on his shoulder, raised his head, pointed at the two golden eagles and shouted loudly.
Chen Wang looked at the monkey relying on its master's power, and the animated emoticon package of "Come here" inexplicably emerged in his mind.
"Awang, look, your Jixiang is so fierce!"
Chen Dazhuang joked with a smile on his face.
"Chichi, chichi!"
The little monkey realized that he was making fun of him, and turned to Chen Dazhuang and made a threatening gesture.
"Okay, just behave yourself!"
Chen Wang raised his hand and slapped it on the forehead.
The little monkey covered his forehead with his hands and groaned in grievance.
