By now, Ruyi has truly become the leader of this dog gang and can naturally enjoy the most delicious parts of the prey.
After cleaning up the silly roe deer, Chen Dazhuang threw it into a sack.
The two continued to move towards Yanwozi.
As for why the hunting dogs only noticed the stupid roe deer when it appeared in their sight just now.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with Ruyi’s sense of smell.
Whether or not you can smell the trace of prey depends on many factors.
For example, sometimes after a heavy rain, no matter how sensitive the hunting dog's sense of smell is, the smell of the prey will have been washed away.
And the wind direction.
A hunting dog that looks up at scent can locate its prey's approximate location by the scent of prey lingering in the air.
If the wind direction is wrong, it will also affect the hunting dog's sense of smell.
There is also the dog's health condition, the messy smell in the surrounding environment, etc.
The two came to the location of the salt pit.
Unfortunately, no trace of prey was found, but footprints of various prey were found all around.
"These are the footprints of wild boars. There are more than two or three of them, and the footprints are very fresh. How about chasing them and taking a look?"
Chen Dazhuang pointed to the wild boar footprints on the ground and made a suggestion.
Chen Wang followed the wild boar footprints and nodded in agreement.
So the two of them followed the wild boar's footprints and searched all the way.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t rained for many days, the soil is relatively dry, and the footprints are shallow in some places.
In some places covered with grass and vegetation, footprints are invisible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, the smell left by those wild boars seemed very strong, and they also left behind a lot of excrement. Ruyi led the way by smelling the scent.
"Brother Zhuang, look!"
Chen Wang discovered something and pointed forward with excitement.
Chen Dazhuang looked in that direction and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
I saw a group of wild boars eating acorns under a thick oak tree in front of me.
Several hunting dogs tried to rush over, but were quickly stopped by Chen Wang and his companions.
This group of wild boars was not large, with only eight wild boars of different sizes. Two of them were the most conspicuous, weighing more than 300 kilograms.
In autumn, many prey in the mountains are storing fat in preparation for winter.
Wild boars are no exception, and they are very active during this season.
"Same old, shoot together, hit the big one, then make up the rest."
Chen Wang suggested.
"no problem."
Chen Dazhuang nodded excitedly and agreed.
The distance was still a bit far, not enough for shooting, so the two men cautiously moved forward about ten meters and hid behind a big tree.
The hunting dogs were also very disciplined and followed the two men without making any noise.
Fortunately, the wild boar over there was busy looking for food and did not realize that the danger was approaching.
Chen Wang glanced at Chen Dazhuang on his right, placed his right thumb and index finger on the back seat and trigger of the shotgun, and raised the other three fingers.
While counting down to three seconds in his mind, he retracted his three fingers one by one.
After a pause of about one second, both men pulled the trigger almost at the same time.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The two gunshots were less than 0.5 seconds apart.
Under the big oak tree, the two largest wild boars had blood spurting out of their heads and fell to the ground almost at the same time.
The herd of wild boars was in chaos, and several wild boars, big and small, fled in all directions.
As several hunting dogs rushed out, Chen Wang had already aimed at another wild boar and fired another shot.
This shot also hit, but missed the vital part.
But it would be difficult for this wild boar to escape, as the smell of blood would attract the attention of several hunting dogs.
Chen Dazhuang also fired another shot, but it missed, making him curse in anger.
“Damn it!”
"Let's go, it's over."
Chen Wang smiled, took out bullets to reload his shotgun, and walked over quickly.
The other wild boars had already escaped, but the one that was shot and bleeding was surrounded by several hunting dogs.
This was a sow weighing more than 200 kilograms. The injuries on its body aroused its wildness, and it roared and charged at several hunting dogs one after another.
Several hunting dogs did not dare to confront the enemy head-on, and cleverly adopted a war of attrition by surrounding the enemy without attacking.
The blood kept flowing, the wild boar whimpered and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, several dogs were about to pounce, but were stopped by the command given by Chen Wang.
A dying beast is sometimes more dangerous.
After changing the bullets, Chen Wang fired another shot at the wild boar's head.
The wild boar's body stopped twitching and it lost its life.
Chen Wang put his fingers into his mouth and made a whistle, then he and Chen Dazhuang dealt with the three wild boars together.
After a while, the little monkey came over leaping on the tree.
Chen Wang wrote a note for it to take back to the village, and then took out an apple from the medicine basket and gave it to it.
After the little monkey left, Chen Wang and his companions first lit a bonfire and roasted some meat to eat with the food they brought.
It was already past 12 o'clock and the two were already hungry. They needed to eat to have the strength to work.
It was quite a hard job to deal with the three big wild boars.
"Awang, what should we do with these three wild boars? Should we take them to town and sell them?"
Chen Dazhuang took a big bite of the steamed bun wrapped with barbecued meat, turned his head to look at the three wild boars behind him and asked.
Chen Wang cut the roasted meat with a knife, thought for a moment, and replied, "We will divide the female between our two families, and try to sell the two males to the villagers at a lower price. If they can't be sold, we will send them to the town."
"Okay, okay, let's do as you say. The villagers will definitely buy it."
Chen Dazhuang nodded repeatedly.
Nowadays, if people want to eat meat, they have to do so during festivals.
On weekdays, when we occasionally indulge in a meal of meat, it is always the bacon that has been pickled and dried after slaughtering the pig during the Chinese New Year.
By this time in September, last year's bacon has almost been eaten.
The crops were harvested two months ago, and the meat was cheap at this time, so most villagers were willing to buy it.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to deal with the three wild boars.
After a while, the little monkey came over with people.
Master and mother-in-law both came, and Yan Yulan also came, as well as the two brothers from Master’s neighbors.
Seeing the three big fat pigs on the ground, the master and the Chen Weibing brothers were already used to it.
My mother-in-law and Yan Yulan's eyes widened slightly, their mouths opened wide, and they looked shocked.
"Alan, why are you here?"
When Chen Dazhuang saw his wife, he immediately stood up to greet her.
"I can't come?"
Yan Yulan rolled her eyes at him.
"No, you're pregnant. This is physical work."
Chen Dazhuang said with a distressed look on his face.
"It's only been two or three months. It won't affect anything. I used to do a lot of manual labor at home."
Yan Yulan rolled her eyes.
"No, you can't come into the mountains, Dad, why don't you stop me?"
Chen Dazhuang turned around and blamed his father.
"You thought I didn't say that!"
Chen Jianjun glared at him angrily and said, "Since you're here, why don't you say a few words? When your mother was pregnant with you, she was still working in the fields!"
