In the next two or three hours, the dogs caught six hares and two pheasants for them.
We entered the mountain late today and walked very slowly, and it was already noon.
The two men came to the creek and found that the surface was frozen.
After putting down some firewood he had just picked up on the way, Chen Wang found a big stone to break the ice, then took out two wild rabbits and began to clean them.
Chen Dazhuang lit the fire and found two wooden sticks and washed them clean.
After the fire was burning well, the two men sat around it and started roasting the rabbit skewered on wooden sticks.
"Awang, has the village chief discussed our land lease at the meeting?"
"I don't know. You didn't tell me."
"You didn't tell me, so the meeting probably hasn't started yet. Why are you taking so long?"
"There's no need to rush. There are so many vacant plots of land in the village. Who would compete with us to rent it?"
Chen Wang smiled calmly.
"Too!"
Chen Dazhuang nodded, and after a moment of silence, he casually asked, "You signed for ten years at once, because the price will go up in the future?"
"Everything is going up in price now, including the price of houses, so why won't the price of land go up?"
Chen Wang asked back with a smile.
“That makes sense!”
"Don't worry, you won't lose anything!"
"Well, I just asked casually. When I decided to sign a ten-year contract with you, I knew it wouldn't be a loss."
"You deserve to make money if you trust me so much."
Chen Wang joked with a smile.
Chen Dazhuang chuckled.
His wife always says that he is not tactful enough in his dealings with people. Chen Wang knows so many rich and powerful friends, but he doesn't have such a good relationship with those people.
Little did he know that he was a wise man who appeared foolish, and had long realized that Chen Wang was the benefactor of his life.
He doesn't need to think about anything else. As long as he holds on to this thick thigh, he will not be poor for the rest of his life.
After more than a year of living together, he vaguely felt that the fact that silly Awang's brain was awakened by being hit with a carrying pole was probably God's will.
Including Awang's outrageous luck in hunting.
What could be better than following a man who is blessed by God?
After the hare was roasted, the two of them ate their fill with the steamed buns and pickles that Chen Dazhuang brought.
Several dogs were also eaten, and the remaining meat and bones of the two rabbits were eaten up by them.
Not eating very much, but it is the best condition for hunting.
Hunting dogs are just like humans. If they eat too much, they will become lazy and sleepy.
After resting for a while, Chen Wang and his companion put out the fire, packed up their things, and took the hunting dogs into the woods to continue searching.
It gets dark early in winter, and it is more difficult to go down the mountain after dark, so they don’t have much time left to hunt today.
…
…
I caught two more rabbits, but nothing else.
It was already past two in the afternoon.
Both of them began to back out and prepared to go down the mountain and go home.
"Awang, look!"
Chen Dazhuang suddenly realized something and raised his hand to point diagonally forward.
Chen Wang looked in the direction he was looking and saw two rows of footprints heading forward on the snow.
Both of them looked delighted and quickly stepped forward to check.
It turned out to be footprints left by animals.
"Silly roe deer?"
Chen Dazhuang expressed his guess.
"That should be it."
Chen Wang nodded.
"Go and see?"
"Sure, let's go!"
The two hit it off immediately and followed the footprints.
The footprints extended very far. The two walked for about twenty minutes, and there were still intermittent footprints on the snow ahead.
Even Ruyi, who had a keen sense of smell, didn't make any movement, which meant it was still a bit far away.
Of course, the snow will also cover the smell of animals to a certain extent, causing some impact on the hunting dogs' sense of smell.
"What do you mean? Are you going to continue?"
Chen Dazhuang asked.
Chen Wang raised his wrist to check the time. It was already past three o'clock.
It's impossible to walk down the mountain quickly, it will take more time, and it's best to get home before dark.
"Let's walk for another five minutes. If the dogs still don't respond, we'll retreat!"
Chen Wang expressed his thoughts.
A silly roe deer is the type that is neither tasty nor worth throwing away. If you really can't find it, there's no need to worry too much.
Chen Dazhuang also expressed his agreement.
So the two of them continued to search forward following the footprints.
When they were halfway there, Ruyi suddenly shouted, turned her head to look at the two of them, and then ran forward.
The two were overjoyed and immediately ran to catch up with the dogs.
The dogs didn't run far when they suddenly stopped, without making a sound, and just looked ahead.
Chen Wang and the other man realized that there might be prey ahead, so they immediately slowed down their pace and moved closer.
Snow can hide footsteps very well.
The two men came behind the dogs and looked forward. Sure enough, they saw a silly roe deer gnawing on something under a tree not far away.
In winter, the fur color of the roe deer is similar to that of the snow, making it difficult to see with the naked eye.
If it weren't for the hunting dogs, if they got any closer, they might have scared the silly roe deer.
Chen Dazhuang gave Chen Wang a look, indicating that he should shoot first.
Chen Wang didn't act pretentiously and immediately raised his shotgun and took aim.
Chen Dazhuang on the side also raised his hunting rifle, put his finger on the trigger, aimed at a position a little ahead of the stupid roe deer, and was ready to shoot again at any time.
Chen Wang took a deep breath and concentrated his mind. In his bright eyes, there was only the snow and the silly roe deer.
The silly roe deer was unaware of this and continued to eat its food.
"Bang!!"
