All of the hunting dogs were of excellent pedigree and were already adults. They were no slower than muntjacs.
Especially in bushes, the impact of various weeds and dead trees on them is weaker than that on muntjacs.
As time went by, the distance between the hunting dogs and the muntjac gradually narrowed.
The muntjac made panicked sounds, its strength was rapidly declining, and its speed was getting slower and slower.
When Chen Wang and his companion caught up with the hunting dogs, they found that the muntjac had been bitten to death by the dogs and was being held in the tiger's mouth.
Seeing his master coming, the tiger immediately walked up to Chen Wang with the prey in its mouth to present his treasure, and its tail shook like a propeller.
“Well done!”
Chen Wang squatted down with a smile, rubbed the dog's head, and took the deer it was holding.
"I shouldn't have run if I had known. It's exhausting. We are not needed at all!"
Yang Xuewu supported his knees with his hands and spoke breathlessly.
"You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already so weak? What do you do every day?"
Chen Wang looked at him with a teasing smile.
"Get lost! I'm not lying, I just said it casually."
Yang Xuewu retorted with a dark face, immediately stood up straight, and tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened.
"Okay, stop pretending!"
Chen Wang smiled, handed the deer in his hand to him and said, "Just take care of it."
"I'm not pretending!"
Yang Xuewu rolled his eyes, took the deer, took out a small knife, squatted down and dealt with the prey.
Chen Wang took out a few strips of meat from the medicine basket and fed them to several hunting dogs as rewards.
Prey in spring are generally thinner, and this muntjac is the same. It looks like it weighs about 30 kilograms, but after skinning and removing the internal organs, it only weighs about 20 kilograms.
Yang Xuewu learned hunting knowledge from his father since he was a child, and followed his father into the mountains when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. He was much more skilled in handling prey than both him and Chen Dazhuang.
In less than half an hour, the muntjac was beautifully prepared and its internal organs were given to several dogs to share.
"Put it in here first, and divide it up when we get back."
Yang Xuewu also carried a sack with him, and he opened it and threw the deer into it.
Chen Wang nodded, raised his wrist to check the time, and said, "We probably won't be able to find the herd of wild goats in this direction. It's almost time. Let's go back and gather!"
"Then let's go!"
Yang Xuewu threw the sack back and carried it on his shoulder, holding it with one hand.
A weight of more than twenty kilograms is nothing to them.
"If we can't find any wild sheep, it's good to kill a muntjac. Its meat is delicious."
"Yes."
"We haven't caught anything like this in months. It's true that my luck is much better when I hunt with you."
"Have you caught any good stuff in the past few months?"
"No, wild boar is the best."
The two of them turned back towards the cliff while chatting and laughing.
…
…
When we arrived at the gathering place, everyone else hadn't returned yet.
The two felt hungry, so they collected some firewood and dead leaves nearby and lit a bonfire.
Just as I finished it, Chen Dazhuang and Yang Xuewen came back.
"Great, let's eat barbecue and eat barbecue. I'm starving."
Chen Dazhuang saw that the two had already started a fire and spoke loudly with a smile on his face.
"Did you find anything?"
Chen Wang asked.
"There is a piece of wool. We walked a long way in that direction, but we didn't see any wild sheep, let alone wool."
Chen Dazhuang shook his head.
Chen Wang nodded slightly and said, "Then we can only rely on Uncle Yang and the others."
"Have you shot any pheasants or rabbits? Let's roast them!"
Yang Xuewu asked with a smile.
It’s not that he was reluctant to give up the deer, but the meat of the deer is more tender and tastes better when stewed than roasted.
In comparison, pheasants and rabbits are more suitable for being roasted and eaten in this way, and it won’t feel like a waste.
"Hey, you know what, it really is true."
Chen Dazhuang grinned, walked over quickly, turned the sack upside down and shook it, and two rabbits and a pheasant were shaken out.
"There are so many. Are you two going to fight this stuff specifically?"
Yang Xuewu said with a look of surprise.
"How is that possible!"
Chen Dazhuang smiled and said proudly, "It's all thanks to my Marshal who is so good. He led us to find a rabbit nest with a pair of rabbits in it. The pheasant was caught by a few dogs on the way back."
"Okay, okay, are they all baked?"
"Just roast it!"
Afterwards, several people began to process the three pheasants and rabbits.
After the processed meat was put on wooden sticks, several people sat down next to the fire and started grilling the meat.
"We found the herd of wild sheep."
An excited voice came.
Chen Wang and his companions looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yang Heping and Yan Laoliu walking quickly towards them. Yang Heping had a bright smile on his face.
The little monkey actually came back with the two of them.
"Dad, did you really find it?"
Yang Xuewu confirmed excitedly.
“Found it.”
Yang Heping smiled and nodded, then looked at Chen Wang and said, "Awang, thanks to your Jixiang, we met him halfway, and he led us the way, and we really found the herd of wild sheep."
"Chichi, chichi."
The little monkey had already run up to Chen Wang and patted his chest proudly.
“Good job!”
Chen Wang smiled and touched its head, then took out a banana from the medicine basket next to it and handed it to it.
The little monkey took the banana, peeled it happily and started eating it.
"How long will it take for the meat to be cooked? Let's go over there right after we finish eating."
Yang Heping came over and asked with a smile.
"It's just starting to bake. It'll take a while."
"All right!"
"Dad, how many sheep are there?"
Yang Xuewen asked.
"I didn't count them, but there were at least a dozen of them, gathered near a water source."
Yang Heping answered with a smile.
“That’s great.”
Even though Yang Xuewen was a taciturn person, a hint of excitement appeared on his face when he heard this.
Yan Laoliu sat down next to Chen Wang and said slowly, "Let's take a look around. We can divide into three groups and surround them. With the help of these hunting dogs, we should be able to take them all down."
"Is it far from here?"
Chen Wang looked at Yan Laoliu and asked.
"The straight-line distance isn't far, but the direction is a little off. If it weren't for you, little monkey, leading the way, we might not have found it."
Yan Laoliu answered while pointing in the direction with gestures.
Chen Wang nodded slightly.
After the pheasants and rabbits were roasted, they were paired with the flatbreads and steamed buns they brought, and the group ate until they were about 70% full.
We will be hunting again later, and it would be inconvenient to move if we are too full.
Several dogs also enjoyed the big meal and became more energetic.
After extinguishing the fire, the group set off directly.
They had to hurry over because they were worried that the wild sheep would move to other places.
The process of walking can be regarded as a way to digest food.
After walking for about half an hour, led by Yang Heping and Yan Laoliu, everyone arrived at their destination.
Hiding in the bushes about a hundred meters away, everyone saw the herds of wild sheep in the distance.
