Chen Wang smiled and said.
"Your little monkey is really amazing. I think you should name him Golden Nugget."
Chen Dazhuang couldn't help but complain.
"What a ridiculous name!"
Chen Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It took about half an hour to pick almost all the purple Ganoderma lucidum on the tree. There were only a few very small ones left. Chen Wang still chose not to kill them all. He decided to come back and check again in a few years. Maybe he would get some harvest.
He took out a cloth bag that his daughter-in-law had specially sewn for him from the medicine basket, put all the picked purple Ganoderma lucidum into it, and put it into the medicine basket.
"Jixiang, come here!"
Chen Wang shouted.
“Squeak!”
The little monkey popped out from somewhere and nimbly climbed onto his shoulder.
Chen Wang took out an apple from the medicine basket and handed it to him as a reward.
Yesterday, Lin Xiuqin's sister and her family did not come empty-handed. They brought some eggs and a piece of pork given by Lin Xiuqin's mother, as well as some fruits bought by Liu Qihong on the way.
Fruit is of course a luxury these days.
However, Chen Wang didn't like to eat fruit very much, and the two apples he had with him were also forced into the medicine basket by his wife.
Apples are Chen Wang’s least favorite fruit, so they are just the right reward for the little monkey.
Of course the little monkey loved to eat it. He sat on his shoulder, holding the apple and happily chewing it until the juice splashed.
"Brother Dazhuang, here, it's yours."
Chen Wang took out the remaining apple and handed it to Chen Dazhuang.
"I have one too? Where did you get it?"
Chen Dazhuang took it with surprise.
"My wife's sister and brother-in-law and their family brought them here yesterday."
"Really? Then you have guests at home, and you are going into the mountains today?"
"I left this morning!"
"Oh, this apple is good. It should be very expensive. Your brother-in-law and his family are really nice!"
Chen Dazhuang said with a smile.
"It's quite good."
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
"Are they surprised to see that you are no longer stupid and can hunt to earn money to support your family?"
"You're out of lunch."
"Ah? You're wrong, you're wrong. Come on, I didn't say anything!"
…
…
After leaving the pine forest, the two continued to take a road they had not taken before.
There are many forks in the road in the mountains. These are the roads that were created by people who went into the mountains to hunt and collect herbs, and they were the paths that were cleared time and time again.
There should be few people walking on this road now, as there are weeds and bushes everywhere that are taller than people. If you are not careful, you will be scratched by some thorny plants and leaves.
Fortunately, it was winter, and the two were wearing thick clothes, but their clothes were torn into pieces, revealing the white cotton underneath.
"Shit, next time I'll bring an axe to clear the way."
Chen Dazhuang said with a frown.
"You should bring an axe, or a sickle."
Chen Wang nodded in agreement.
There are still many uncultivated areas in Xiongshan, so it is necessary to carry an axe or sickle with you.
“Squeak!”
Suddenly, the little monkey sitting on the shoulder sounded the alarm.
The two also became more familiar with its call, which was the sound of detecting prey.
They immediately stopped communicating, raised their shotguns and looked around with alertness.
"there!"
Chen Wang lowered his voice and pointed forward.
When Chen Dazhuang looked over there, he saw a wild boar eating something with its head down under a tree.
The wild hog badger is also known as the earth pig and the sand badger, but it is not a pig. It is a member of the mustelid family and is called the cousin of the flat-headed bug, but it has a pig nose.
For hunters, this is a very good prey. Not only is the meat delicious, but the fur is also very valuable.
In addition, the oil made from badger fat can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and it also has a good effect on rheumatism.
"I'll give it a try this time."
Chen Dazhuang lowered his voice and said.
Chen Wang nodded and gave him the chance to shoot first.
In recent times, he was the one who shot the prey. It's time to let Chen Dazhuang try it too.
After all, the two of them were hunting together, and if he was the one who always shot the prey, Chen Dazhuang would probably feel uncomfortable.
Furthermore, if you don’t shoot for a long time, your skills will regress.
Even if Chen Wang felt that he had a greater chance of shooting, he could not take all the chances.
Hiking in the mountains is a risky business. Having a partner with strong skills and reliable character can greatly improve safety.
“Bang!!”
Gunshots rang out.
The bullet hit the badger, but because it was a shotgun, only the pellet hit it and it did not kill it.
The injured badger screamed and fled into the bushes in panic.
The two of them hurried over and followed the blood trail for several hundred meters, and finally saw the injured badger.
The badger obviously couldn't run anymore and was staggering around in circles.
In this case, there is no need to waste bullets, and it is easy to damage the leather.
Chen Dazhuang took out a slingshot and handed it to Chen Wang.
His accuracy with a slingshot is even worse than Chen Wang's.
