Chapter 216 A Leisurely BBQ
With the help of the two dogs, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Yue climbed over another forest and saw a group of wild boars. This group of wild boars had many more family members, as many as seven, including four adult wild boars and three little wild boars.
The wild boars here are not the ones with yellow hair, but black hair. They are very black and covered with mud, making them look dirty.
There is plenty of food in the mountains now, and the wild boars are all eating until their bellies are full.
The two dogs and the two people were separated from the wild boars by a long distance, and they were quiet and did not dare to make any sound.
Black Tiger and the Elf were actually a little unable to hold back and wanted to rush forward, but Gao Yue wanted to show off his marksmanship. He thought that hiding in the dark and shooting from behind would be more effective.
After all, fixed-point shooting is definitely less difficult than moving shooting.
The wild boars were completely unaware of the danger and scattered around, gnawing on food. Some were chewing tubers, while others were looking for insects to eat.
Gao Yue's gun is loaded and he is aiming at the target.
In fact, wild boars that are too old are not tasty. The best ones are those that weigh more than 100 pounds, which are meaty but not dry, so he chose such a wild boar.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out in the silence.
The moment the gunshot rang out, all the birds and beasts nearby were frightened and fled away instantly, except for a wild boar which fell to the ground in despair!
"Woof woof!" Black Tiger and the elf could no longer bear it and rushed forward shouting.
They had been following Gao Mingcheng for a long time and were used to the sound of gunfire, so they were not frightened. Instead, they became more ferocious. When they rushed to the wild boar, they began to bite its neck.
The wild boar was shot in the head and died instantly!
The last meal of this wild boar was kudzu leaves. It was concentrating on eating them when it died!
Gao Yue just fired a shot to eliminate the recoil in his hand, and then couldn't help but say: "This gun is really powerful!"
He handed the gun to Gao Mingcheng, then ran over quickly, squatted on the ground to examine the wild boar. When he saw the gunshot wound on the wild boar's head, he couldn't help but smile with pride.
"Well, I told you I'm a sharpshooter!" Gao Yue said arrogantly, then bent down and tried to pick up the wild boar on the ground.
After trying for a while, he found that he couldn't carry it at all.
His shoulders were sore from carrying a few bed boards yesterday. He really couldn't carry this wild boar weighing over 100 pounds!
"Oh, it's so heavy! It must be at least 150 kilograms, right? Gao Mingcheng, can you carry it? If not, let's cut the wild boar in half and each of us carry a part back?" Gao Yue was worried and looked at Gao Mingcheng.
It was so hard to kill the wild boar, there was no way I was going to give up. Even if I had to grit my teeth, I had to carry it down the mountain!
Gao Mingcheng couldn't help laughing and said, "This weight is just a drop in the bucket!"
Gao Yue looked at him with disbelief. Gao Mingcheng didn't explain and just picked up the wild boar on his shoulders.
The wild boar was shot dead, but was then bitten by the black tiger and the elf, leaving two wounds on its neck and bleeding.
The dog hair around Black Tiger and the Elf's mouths was also stained with some blood.
Gao Mingcheng patted their heads with one hand and scolded them: "Next time, when the prey is dead, don't bite it! It will make you bleed!"
I don’t know if the two dogs understood what he said, so they barked a few times in response.
It was already 12:30 in the afternoon. They had entered the mountain at 7 in the morning and had been walking in the mountain for several hours without realizing it.
Before, all his attention was focused on tracking the wild boar, so he didn't feel tired. But now that he finally got the prey, Gao Yue felt a little tired and hungry.
"Gao Mingcheng, I'm hungry. Let's find a place to eat first!" Gao Yue said.
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng had just that idea. He carried the wild boar and walked to a stream with ease.
Throwing the wild boar on his shoulder onto the grass, Gao Mingcheng drew out the dagger from his waist and began to prepare lunch. Of course, his lunch was barbecue!
Seeing Gao Mingcheng's actions, Gao Yue was dumbfounded. He was taking out water and biscuits from his bag, but he saw Gao Mingcheng skillfully cut out a piece of wild boar meat!
When cutting the wild boar meat, he also cut the boar's throat and let the blood flow. After bleeding, the meat would taste better.
The wild boar's body was not yet completely cold, and blood immediately flowed out after its blood vessels were cut, but it did not spurt out like when it was alive.
Gao Yue's jaw dropped in shock. He said, "Bleeding in the mountains? Barbecuing? Will it attract something?"
Gao Mingcheng, who was skilled in art, said boldly: "What can it attract? There are no large beasts in this mountain. At most there are a few packs of jackals."
The jackals in the mountains escaped the initial purge, and although they are still alive, their numbers are few. Gao Mingcheng encountered jackals in the mountains several times, but for some reason, the jackals did not attack him, and he did not deliberately hunt the jackals.
The two sides are living in peace.
But if the jackals really wanted to steal the food and attacked them, Gao Mingcheng would not be afraid.
He practiced boxing and shooting diligently, and acquired a lot of skills. He dared to fight bears and wrestle with criminals. How could he be afraid of a group of jackals?
After marinating the meat with seasoning, Gao Mingcheng arranged for Gao Yue to collect firewood nearby, while he skinned the rabbit for Hei Hu and Jing Ling.
After peeling off the rabbit skin, cut the rabbit into two and throw it to the black tiger and the elf.
The rabbit was hunted by the two dogs with their tacit cooperation, so naturally they shared it together.
Not long after, Gao Yue came back cursing with a bundle of firewood.
"It's so annoying. I just saw several geckos!" Gao Yue got goose bumps when talking about snakes. He was actually quite afraid of snakes. When he was a child, if his brother and Gao Mingcheng dared to catch a snake to play with it, he would be so scared that he would cry!
When it comes to being afraid of snakes, he and Gao Zhuang do have something in common.
Later, their family moved to the county, and he was grateful for it.
Gao Mingcheng didn't take the gecko seriously at all. This kind of snake often appeared in the grass near the ditch, and many naughty children would even catch it specifically to play with.
Children in the village don’t have many toys, so many things that seem incredible to children in the city become their toys.
"What are you afraid of? The gecko is not a snake at all and it won't bite you!" Although the gecko's name contains the word "snake", it is actually not a snake but a lizard.
They have long thin tails, crawl very fast, and generally eat insects.
Even though he knew that geckos don't bite, Gao Yue still felt a little unhappy. People who are afraid of snakes can be easily frightened even by a similar well rope, let alone a similar animal.
After lighting a fire, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Yue each took a wooden stick and roasted the meat over the fire.
Half a pound of meat is skewered on each wooden stick. The meat is not cut thickly and some holes are pierced with the tip of a dagger to facilitate marinating.
While waiting for the barbecue to be cooked, the two chatted and ate biscuits, looking quite leisurely.
As Gao Mingcheng said, we never encountered any attacks from wild beasts from beginning to end. This is only the case now. If it had been in the past, it would have been impossible.
There used to be many ferocious beasts in this mountain, but after decades of changes, the beasts gradually disappeared.
The black bear that Gao Mingcheng had killed before and the South China tiger he had seen might be the last ferocious beasts in this mountain.
But they have now left the mountain.
Although it is a bit regrettable, for ordinary people, the dangers in the mountains will be much less.
But there are still dangers in hidden places, such as poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, poisonous medicinal herbs, steep mountain roads, etc.
