Chapter 110 Gao Yue's spear skills are hard to describe
Heihu's vacation was gone. Gao Mingcheng agreed to give him a day off, but the next moment he asked him to go into the mountains to do hard labor.
Running in the forest, Hei Hu ran very fast at first, wanting to surpass Gao Mingcheng, but...
Black Tiger, who had run a long way, was dumbfounded. He turned around to look at Gao Mingcheng who was lagging behind him, with confusion written all over his innocent eyes.
Why are these two-legged beasts walking so slowly today?
In the forest, Gao Mingcheng followed Gao Yue's pace and walked slowly. Today, Gao Yue wore an old cotton coat of Gao Mingcheng's. He was originally wearing a down jacket, but Gao Mingcheng asked him to change it because there were many branches in the mountains. Once the down jacket was scratched by the branches, the down inside would run out and the clothes would be ruined.
Gao Yue's face was full of excitement. He carried a bird gun on his back and walked in the forest with great interest.
The mountains in winter appear more withered than in the other three seasons. Except for some evergreen trees, the leaves of many trees have already fallen, leaving only bare trunks.
Because of the season, there are fewer birds in the mountains. In autumn, as long as you look up at the sky, you can often see geese migrating to their new homes.
Gao Yue's excitement did not last long. As soon as he entered the mountain, Gao Yue began to complain that the bird gun was too heavy.
At first, Gao Mingcheng was holding the bird gun, but Gao Yue thought it was cooler to go into the mountains hunting with a bird gun, so he asked to hold it himself.
However, if you hold the bird gun for a long time, it will become heavy.
Although Gao Yue grew up in the village and was very familiar with the conditions in the mountains and forests, he had been in the county for eight years after all. During these eight years, he seldom climbed mountains, let alone worked in the fields, so his physical fitness was actually worse than that of ordinary villagers.
Gao Mingcheng saw that he was tired, so he took the bird gun and said, "Let me take it."
This time Gao Yue didn't say much, and honestly gave the bird gun to Gao Mingcheng. Their goal today was to hunt hares and turtledoves.
Originally, Gao Yue wanted to go into the mountains to hunt large prey such as muntjacs and wild boars, but Gao Mingcheng made him give up.
This kind of large prey is usually found in deep mountains, and it is not easy to go into the mountains. Not to mention the physical consumption. It is winter now, with short days and long nights. Going into the mountains to hunt is more dangerous than in summer. Once it gets dark and you can't recognize the road, there is a risk of being trapped in the mountains.
And being stuck in the mountains during the winter is definitely not fun.
Gao Yue did not dare to take any risks, so he agreed to only hunt doves and hares. Under the leadership of Gao Mingcheng, they crossed a small hill and came to a low-lying area.
In spring and summer, a small pond would form here, but now it is the dry winter season, the water source has dried up and only a small puddle remains.
According to Gao Mingcheng's observation, there should be a spring under this small puddle. If the spring is dug out, spring water will gush out and form a pond again.
Because of the water source, the vegetation around here grows more lush.
Gao Mingcheng lowered his head to look for traces of the hare and said to Gao Yue, "Look around to see if there is any fresh hare droppings."
"Okay!" Gao Yue responded, and the two began to look for the hare's traces with the small puddle as the center.
The hare has not been found yet, but the birds in the woods are flying around, making different bird calls.
Gao Yue's attention was attracted by these birds. He looked up at the birds and identified their species. The most common ones were sparrows, and there were also some water birds. If you look carefully, you can also find turtledoves.
Sparrows can also be eaten, but they are too small and have little meat.
As for the water birds... In fact, there are many water birds near the paddy fields. These water birds will go into the water to look for small fish and insects to eat. When their wings are spread, they look very big, but if you shoot them down and pluck out their feathers, there is not much meat left except the skeleton, and the meat is very fishy.
"Gao Mingcheng, give me the musket." Gao Yue decided to shoot the turtledove first. He had already spotted a turtledove that was perched on the top of a tree.
Gao Mingcheng handed the bird gun and lead bullets to Gao Yue. Gao Yue was no stranger to guns. His father was in the police station, and he grew up playing with guns.
Not to mention the bird gun, he had also played with his father's Type 54 pistol. Of course, he had never fired it.
After skillfully loading the bullet, Gao Yue began to aim at the turtledove on the tree. However, the turtledove seemed to sense the danger and flew away at the critical moment!
"Bang!" The bullet was empty.
The flock of birds were frightened and fled in all directions.
Although he missed the target, Gao Yue did not lose heart. Instead, he quickly loaded a bullet and continued to aim and shoot.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
He fired several shots in succession, but each time he missed.
This shooting...
Gao Mingcheng was shocked. At first, when Gao Yue was about to shoot, he was full of confidence. After all, Gao Yue in later generations was a criminal policeman with excellent marksmanship.
But at this moment, Gao Yue is still a miserable senior high school student!
Gao Yue was also a little annoyed, and defended himself: "I have fired a gun at a shooting range, and it was obviously very accurate!"
Gao Mingcheng continued to remain silent. How could shooting at a shooting range be the same as actually shooting birds?
"It's okay, take your time. I couldn't hit the target at the beginning either." Gao Mingcheng comforted.
People need to get used to each other, and in fact, people and guns also need to get used to each other.
You can use the gun better only if you understand its situation and are familiar with its structure.
Gao Yue did not lose heart and continued to look for the trace of the turtledove.
On that day, countless gunshots were heard in the forest, and all the bullets Gao Mingcheng brought with him were used up. In the end, he caught two turtledoves, three sparrows and a rabbit.
The rabbit was not actually Gao Yue's harvest, but Hei Hu's.
The gunshots startled the surrounding animals. When the rabbit ran away, it was chased by the black tiger and bitten!
When going down the mountain, the black tiger ran happily. It was wrong. Today was indeed a holiday and there was no work!
Although the harvest was not much, Gao Yue was still very happy, and agreed to go to the cooperative to buy lead bullets tomorrow and then go into the mountains to hunt!
Gao Mingcheng smiled and looked at Gao Yue's feet meaningfully.
If his feet aren't sore tomorrow, he'll come along!
On the second day, the aftereffects of excessive exercise really showed up. Not only did Gao Yue's feet feel sore, his whole body was sore!
But he did buy the lead bullets. He asked Gao Zhuang to ride his bicycle to the cooperative to buy them.
Gao Zhuang coveted his bicycle. When Gao Yue went into the mountains to hunt, he had slowly learned to ride a bicycle. So when Gao Yue called him, he immediately took the money and rode his bicycle to Junling.
The cooperative sells lead bullets, which are not expensive, 1.5 yuan for 100 bullets. In addition to bird guns, air guns can also be used.
In several nearby villages, some people also have bird guns, but the quality of these bird guns varies, some are good, some are not. If you encounter a bird gun of poor quality, then not only will you not be able to hit the prey, you may also get injured.
