Wild boars usually gather in groups.
Therefore, hunters who want to hunt wild boars often look for these places.
They would refer to the process of searching for wild boars as "circling" or "cashing".
Wang Tianxiao followed the standard procedures for hunting boars, so their first step was to circle around them.
First, locate the wild boars' gathering place, then select the best few from among them.
The three chatted and laughed along the way.
The atmosphere was quite nice.
After walking for more than an hour, the three of them arrived at the highest point of Yangziling. Standing on the mountain ridge, they saw the East Peak of Yangziling behind them and the West Peak in front of them.
The eastern peak behind us is bare, like a patch of baldness, while the western peak in front of us is lush and green, as if they were two different worlds.
Various animals that do not hibernate in winter hide in the bushes of West Peak.
"Tianxin, when we enter the West Peak area, you better behave yourself. This is no joke; danger could arise at any moment. So, you need to stay close to me and Uncle Liu, and absolutely do not wander off or act arrogantly."
Wang Tianxiao gave instructions to his excited younger brother.
Wang Tianxin laughed and said, "I know, I promise I won't hold you back."
Today, he carried the same old homemade gun that Wang Tianxiao had used before, maintaining the same equipment as Liu Yuan. Wang Tianxiao, on the other hand, was the main force, while his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was the ultimate weapon for killing all wild beasts.
Why is it that wild animals seem to be no match for humans in a one-on-one fight, yet humans still manage to gain the upper hand in hunting? It's not just because humans have guns, but because of the relationship between initiative and passivity.
Hunting involves premeditated killing, so humans prepare in advance, often killing wild animals before they even realize what's happening.
However, if it's a chance encounter, it would be quite dangerous for humans.
"That's good. If you don't behave, I won't take you out again next time."
Seeing his younger brother answer so readily, Wang Tianxiao felt no relief. He knew his brother's personality; he liked to show off and was easily unable to control himself.
"Uncle Liu, keep an eye on this kid for a bit."
I had no choice but to explain to Liu Yuanye.
Liu Yuan chuckled, "Don't worry, if he tries anything funny, I'll beat him with the sole of my shoe."
"Old man, here you go again. What right do you have to hit me? You're not my dad!"
"So, you mean I can't control you anymore?" Liu Yuan smiled meaningfully. "Don't I know that your wings have already grown strong enough to fly on their own?"
"Hehe, no, no, I still have a lot to learn from you. Why do you, an old man, always argue with a kid like me? It's unnecessary and not worth it."
Liu Yuan smiled, looked at the lush green mountains in the distance, and said to Wang Tianxiao, "The weather is pretty good today. The sun is shining and the wind isn't too strong. It's a good day for hunting pigs."
Wang Tianxiao nodded, "Yes, that's right. Let's try to kill as many sows or yellow-haired pigs as possible today. If we can kill boars, then we won't use boars."
"Why not a male pig? Doesn't a male pig have more meat?" Wang Tianxin asked, puzzled.
"Sure, I'll get you some rooster meat to eat later, then you'll understand."
Wang Tianxin still didn't understand, and seeing that neither of them would say anything, he became even more anxious.
"Boars smell too pungent and are hard to eat, so unless absolutely necessary, we should avoid them, understand?" Liu Yuan explained with a smile when he saw that he was getting anxious.
"I see. Why bother hiding it? Just be straightforward."
Wang Tianxiao smiled, bent down, picked up a handful of fine soil from the ground, and slowly scattered it into the air. The fine soil turned into a line that slipped out from between his fingers and drifted eastward.
"Today the wind is from the west, and the north wind is very light. When we see the wild boar's den, we should try not to go from the west. Wild boars are very smart these days; they will definitely run away as soon as they smell our scent."
"Yes, that makes sense."
"Let's go then, into the mountains."
"Okay."
Liu Yuan simply nodded, but Wang Tianxin excitedly rushed down the ridge and ran forward.
Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to call him back again, reminding him to behave himself.
Hunting requires moving silently. If you make a high-profile entrance, the prey will disappear without a trace, no matter how much you hear or smell it. What's the point of hunting then?
Wang Tianxin then calmed down.
The three of them slowly made their way forward through the bushes. Along the way, Wang Tianxiao would mark key trees with the ink pen in his pocket every now and then.
The woods here are lush and green; if you go too deep into them, you can easily lose your way.
Although there are other ways to find the way forward, they are ultimately too troublesome. If you can see the way you came from and follow the signs, it will save you a lot of trouble.
These are all experiences gained from living in the mountains for a long time.
Along the way, the three discovered many small animals, including several roe deer, musk deer, and muntjacs. These creatures all belong to the deer family, but each has its own unique appearance.
Wang Tianxiao had no intention of hunting roe deer today, so he decided to let them live for the time being.
If prepared well, roe deer meat can taste just as good as pork, but roe deer is not suitable as a New Year's treat.
People still prefer pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, and goose for the New Year; they always feel that roe deer meat is a bit lacking.
As for things like musk deer, they're even less interesting.
Unless absolutely necessary, he tries not to hunt these things. There aren't many of them to begin with, so he'd rather they live than be left to die.
Gradually, the three of them walked deeper into the forest.
After passing through a lush cypress forest, a wide-open hill appeared ahead. Wang Tianxin wanted to continue forward, but Wang Tianxiao pulled him back.
"What's up, bro?"
"Shh!"
