Chapter 154: How dare you be so reckless without fangs? [First update]
Every two steps, Lin Heng would stop and look to observe the condition of Bai Mi Zi.
This guy didn't seem to be very alert. He sat on the branch and ate red persimmons, looking very relaxed.
He heard that Tian Baishun and his companions did the same thing when hunting white rice seeds. When the white rice seeds climbed up the trees and people came down from the trees, they would lie on the branches and dare not move.
This persimmon tree is in the middle of the soybean field, and there are no other trees around it. If Bai Mizi jumps down, Xiongba will most likely be able to catch him.
Therefore, Lin Heng was not particularly careful. It took him more than ten minutes to get within fifty meters of the target before he was discovered by Bai Mizi.
There is no way around it. The view from the treetops is too wide. Once you get close, even with stone steps, it won't block the view.
After discovering Lin Heng, it first froze in a daze, then noticed that Lin Heng continued to move under the tree, so it immediately jumped onto the highest branch.
Lin Heng had already arrived under the tree. Xiong Ba stood under the tree silently, looking up at it.
Lin Heng glanced at the white rice bird on the top of the tree. In the moonlight, he could vaguely see its brown hair and its spotted face with white spots.
After putting on a hunting arrow and taking aim, Lin Heng shot the arrow without much hesitation.
The sharp arrow in the night sky easily broke through the leaves of the persimmon tree and pierced into the flesh with a hissing sound.
With a miserable roar, the white rice fish jumped down from the tree. The leaves blocked Lin Heng's arrow from ending its life.
However, Lin Heng had one last safety net. The moment he jumped down, Xiongba chased him. He landed on the ground and ran less than three meters before he was pinned down by Xiongba. He bit him to death in just two bites and dragged him back.
"Well done." Lin Heng patted its head, thinking it was worth feeding it meat every day recently.
“Ouch~”
Xiongba rubbed Lin Heng's leg and followed him back quickly.
"How heavy is it?" Big brother Lin Yue asked excitedly before Lin Heng even reached over.
"This one is not big, probably only about 10 to 20 kilograms."
Lin Heng came back holding Bai Mi Zi's tail, and Xiong Ba surrounded it and licked the blood that was flowing out.
"It's not small anymore. White rice grains are almost this big." Father Lin said in a low voice.
"Then do we need to continue waiting tonight?" Lin Yue asked again in a low voice.
"Guard, they're already here." Lin Heng said affirmatively. He had just fought with these wild boars and didn't believe that they wouldn't come.
In a blink of an eye, it was eleven o'clock and several gunshots were heard from the ridge on the opposite bank, but no one knew what they were talking about.
Recently, many people are watching for wild boars. For many hunters who do not know how to find the traces of wild boars, sitting back and waiting is the easiest method.
After waiting until one o'clock in the morning, the three of them fell asleep with boredom, because with Xiongba there, they were not afraid of anything suddenly approaching.
At five o'clock the next morning, they were awakened by a close gunshot, followed by another one.
"This is on the Wutong Ridge in the east. Could it be that the wild boar ran over there to eat?" Lin Yue asked.
Father Lin nodded, somewhat helplessly: "Most likely, it's just two kilometers east of here, and it's possible to eat there, but I don't know who is guarding it, and I don't know if they have defeated it."
Lin Heng shook his head and muttered, "Damn it, it's better to come here and eat. Even if you die, it's just a bad luck for a wild boar. If you go over there and shoot, you will get hurt. Why bother?"
"Fortunately, we have a wild boar, otherwise we would have been guarding for two days in vain." Father Lin sighed. After firing the gun, it would be impossible to catch the wild boar next time.
Lin Heng stood up and stretched his body: "No need to wait, let's go directly to Tongshugou to see if there are any pheasants or something and kill a few. If we can't catch any, we can go home."
"Okay, maybe we can encounter an injured wild boar running over here." Lin Yue felt that this method was feasible.
Lin Yue carried the rice and walked behind with his father, while Lin Heng walked in front with Xiongba.
The forest was cold and quiet in the early morning, the ground was very damp and there was some mist.
Looking up, I saw that many leaves were already showing signs of turning yellow.
We walked all the way to Tongshu Valley but didn't see any trace of prey.
"Snake!" Lin Yue suddenly said.
I saw a small green snake as thick as my index finger sticking out its tongue on a treetop in front of me. It looked a little cute.
Lin Heng reached out and grabbed it, holding it in his hand and playing with it for a while. The emerald green snake looked like a jade carving, very beautiful.
It has no odor or toxicity, and is very docile. It feels cool and comfortable to hold in your hand.
After playing with it for a while, Lin Heng let it go and continued looking for prey.
There were also a few plots of land in this ditch, but the crops had been harvested. Lin Heng walked up along the path beside the fields.
Just as he reached a stone step, Lin Heng stepped back and whispered, "Shh! There's a pheasant."
He quickly opened the bow bag, took out the compound bow, and quietly took a look.
The two gray female pheasants were still digging for insects under the bushes on the stone steps and did not notice them.
The distance was only thirty meters, and using a modern compound bow, Lin Heng shot an arrow without much aiming.
“Ga ga ga!!!”
Lin Heng shot an arrow through the largest female pheasant's butt, piercing it directly into the ground. The other two screamed and flew away without looking back.
"You're awesome, bro. It seems like you never fail." Lin Yue gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
"When we get back, I can teach you archery. My bow and arrow is useless just sitting there." Lin Heng said to his elder brother.
"Okay." Lin Yue nodded and did not refuse this time.
He thought that once he learned it, he could go hunting in the mountains with Lin Heng, and he wouldn't be so useless and could only watch from behind.
Walking over and picking up the pheasant, Lin Heng didn't have the heart to pull out the hunting arrow because it would inevitably pull out the internal organs.
"The power of your bow is truly terrifying. The pheasant was pierced through by one arrow, and it even sank several centimeters into the ground." Father Lin said with emotion.
Lin Heng smiled and said, "This is not the maximum power yet."
He is currently using 40 pounds of force, and this bow can be adjusted to a maximum of 70 pounds of force, which is equivalent to 68 or 69 kilograms of force.
For him, the current pulling force is actually a bit strenuous. Even if the pulley is used to save effort, the pulling force is still 30 kilograms.
But he deliberately used it to train himself, he needed a strong body.
After giving the pheasant to his father, Lin Heng continued searching to see if there was anything else to find.
But after this disturbance just now, he probably had no hope.
Xiongba wandered around aimlessly, and they walked all the way up to Tongshugou.
It was already past seven, almost eight, when we reached the top, and apart from a tree ear, we found nothing else.
The three of them washed their faces at the Qingshui Beach and sat on the rocks to rest.
"The sun is out. There's no hope. It won't be a wasted trip if I go back and boil the rice." Father Lin sighed. He was already very satisfied.
"I want to know if the person who fired the gun this morning hit anything." Lin Heng also nodded and said that it was time to go back.
The dew gradually evaporated, the sun hung high in the sky, and in the distant woods, the boundary of sunlight was rapidly spreading towards them.
"Xiongba is gone." Lin Heng turned around and shouted.
Turning around, I saw Xiongba had gone to the top of the beam in shock.
“Woof woof!!”
Xiongba did not come back, but called out to Lin Heng.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yue asked puzzledly.
Lin Heng shook his head: "I don't know, I'll go over and take a look."
He probably discovered some mushrooms or something.
After crawling for a few minutes and coming to Xiongba's side, Lin Heng found something wrong and was suddenly shocked: "It's blood!"
"What?"
When Lin's father and Lin Yue heard this, they hurried over.
"Look, this should be the blood of a wounded wild boar. There are also footprints, and it looks like it's heading towards Baishigou." Lin Heng said, pointing to the traces on the ground.
It was obvious that he was beaten by someone but didn't die, so he ran away.
"The footprints don't look big. Let's follow them. No one is following them anyway." Father Lin said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, it's a wild animal. Whoever catches it owns it. If someone finds it, we can just give some to them at most." Lin Yue also felt that they should track it down. It would be a waste not to chase it.
"Okay, let Xiongba chase them and see." Lin Heng said, letting Xiongba go in front while the others followed the blood trail.
The gunshots happened at around five o'clock, and now it's already eight o'clock and no one has come. He estimates that they have probably lost him and can't be found.
The three followed Xiongba along the blood trail and soon crossed two ridges.
"This wild boar can run so fast. It can run so far even though it's injured. It's almost reaching Baishigou." Lin Yue was shocked.
"The more injured they are, the farther they run. I heard that there were people in the village who chased wild boars across seven or eight mountains." Father Lin said with a smile.
Lin Heng didn't say anything. He knew very well how fast wild boars could run, so he could only chase them silently.
After climbing over another mountain, the bloodstains became less and less and began to become intermittent.
"It seems that the wild boar's injury is not in a vital part. I wonder if there is still a chance."
Lin Heng sighed, if he didn't catch it and let it run away, all his efforts would have been in vain.
After walking a few more steps, the bloodstains became less and less, and the three people and the dog were all dumbfounded.
"What should I do now? I can't catch up with him." Lin Yue was stunned.
The three men and the dog were all chasing with hungry stomachs. They had been growling with hunger for a long time, but they just kept enduring it.
"Take your time while eating the wax gourd. I guess it's not that the bloodstains have disappeared, but that there are too few of them and they are blocked by the leaves so you can't find them."
Lin Heng, on the other hand, remained calm. He glanced at the wax gourds that had already burst on the vines in front of him, picked some and shared them with his father and elder brother.
"We'll just have to take it slow." Father Lin took a wax melon and started eating it.
Although this thing is all seeds, it is very high in sugar. The intake of sugar made the three of them feel much better and they regained their confidence to continue chasing.
After searching around, Lin Heng found new bloodstains on a leaf: "Come here quickly, the wild boar is running this way."
"There is blood here too." Lin Yue shouted.
"Ah, then let's split up and chase them first." Lin Heng was a little dazed. Could it be that the wild boar was confused and was circling here? He continued to chase along the blood trail with Xiongba. He was sure that his way was correct.
"footprint!"
Lin Heng looked at the footprints in front of him and then at the cliff in the distance. He estimated that the wild boar should be inside this cliff.
Soon, my father and elder brother also caught up.
"The route we took might not be the real one. The blood trail disappeared halfway through the chase." Lin Yue said.
Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and said, "Be careful. I think it's right in front of us. An injured wild boar is most likely to get jealous and bite people."
"Yeah." Lin Heng nodded. He had already taken out the bow and arrow, and put an arrow on it, ready to be on guard at any time.
After arriving at the gravel cliff and walking a few steps, I saw traces of wild boars under a cave.
It wasn't big, just a small wild boar weighing about 70 or 80 kilograms, maybe only one or two years old.
The wild boar was limping as it retreated, and wanted to run away when it saw people, but Lin Heng had the bow and arrow ready in his hand, and he shot the arrow almost instantly.
“Ahhh!!”
Accompanied by a terrible howl, the arrow hit the wild boar's hind hip, penetrating five or six centimeters. The triangular hunting arrowhead caused very severe penetrating damage, and blood gushed out.
"careful!!"
Lin Heng shouted and retreated while looking for a weapon. The arrow made the wild boar angry and it rushed towards them directly.
Not only was the target moving, but the time for aiming was extremely limited, so he had no way of hitting the vital point.
“Woof woof!”
Xiongba rushed over to bite the wild boar, but the boar ignored him and rushed towards Lin Heng.
"No, you don't weigh hundreds of pounds, why are you so arrogant!"
Lin Heng picked up a wooden stick and rushed forward and hit the wild boar on the head. With a bang, the stick broke into two pieces and the wild boar's head was buzzing.
It shook its head vigorously twice and rushed towards Lin Heng again.
Xiongba charged again and bit its tail. Lin Heng took advantage of the situation and rushed forward and kicked it with both feet, knocking it down.
When I encountered the 300-pound wild boar with long fangs before, I was afraid that it was too fierce. I didn’t dare to confront it head-on because of its large tonnage and fangs.
How dare you, a wild boar weighing 70 to 80 kilograms and without fangs, come and push me? Lin Heng rushed forward and did it.
“Ahhh!!”
Lin Heng knocked the wild boar down, Xiong Ba rushed over, and his father and eldest brother also rushed over. One pressed the head, and the other rode on the body to hold it down, and the wild boar immediately let out a miserable howl.
"Kill him quickly, I can't hold him back!" Father Lin said hurriedly, looking at Lin Heng.
Although Lin Heng had never killed a pig, as a man, he did not hesitate at this moment. He pulled out the tempered steel dagger from his waist, rushed forward and stabbed the wild boar's neck.
Puff! As the dagger was pulled out, bright red blood spurted out more than a meter away, and Lin Heng's hand and one of his shoes were instantly stained red.
“Ouch!!”
Xiongba simply opened his mouth and drank the blood.
As the blood flowed, the wild boar gradually lost its breath.
"Awesome! You're so awesome, brother!" Lin Yue said in shock. He was shocked by Lin Heng's actions for the first time.
He didn't run but rushed forward. He is really brave.
Father Lin shook his head and advised: "Don't do this again next time. It's too reckless."
Lin Heng smiled and said, "I know my limits. This wild boar is not big and was injured. It's not that serious."
He was not reckless, but a well-planned one. With Xiongba interfering with the wild boar's speed, why not teach it a lesson? But he was still a little excited at this time, and it was a bit too exciting to kill the pig himself.
Xiongba's belly has become round from drinking pig blood, so he needs to be dewormed when he gets back.
After wiping his hands clean with leaves, Lin Heng sat down to rest.
Looking at the brown-haired wild boar lying on the ground, this was the fourth wild boar he had killed this year. If the piglets were counted, this would be the sixth.
He now wants to hunt more valuable prey, such as takin, clouded leopard, black bear, or at least forest musk deer.
However, compared to wild boars, these things are too rare, so we have to go to deep mountains and uninhabited areas to look for them.
If he went to the mountains, he would probably have to wait until all the leaves had fallen. There was not much point in going now, and he would have to direct the construction of the fish pond.
After resting for a while, the three men cut vines and sticks to tie up the wild boar and carried it back.
"Where is this place and what's the shortest way back?" Lin Heng looked around. He was so busy chasing the wild boar that he couldn't even tell where he was.
It's not necessary to get lost, he could just go back the same way, but he wanted to find a shortcut.
"I know the way, just follow me." Father Lin said, and he and Lin Yue lifted the wild boar and walked in front.
Lin Heng walked behind, carrying rice and pheasants.
After wandering in the woods for more than three hours, we finally found the way.
It was already past three in the afternoon when I got home.
"Hey, you guys have a big harvest, white rice pheasant and a big wild boar."
Liu Kai, a middle-aged man walking into the field with a hoe, said in shock.
"Uncle Liu, has anyone else in the village killed a wild boar?" Lin Heng asked with a smile. This Liu Kai was the father of his childhood friend Liu Sheng.
"Yes, Wang Kaidian and his men hunted a 200-pound wild boar this morning. It took three or four people to carry it back. I guess they have just divided it up now." Liu Kai nodded.
"Is that so? That's amazing." Lin Heng nodded. No wonder no one was following him. They probably all focused on the wild boar.
But this is also good. If no one is tracking them, the wild boar will be theirs and they don’t have to share it with anyone else.
"Although yours is not big, the meat is tender, better than that big wild boar." Liu Kai said again.
"There's no comparison! The bigger one is definitely better." Father Lin shook his head and said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the three of them hurried back home.
Along the way, this harvest made many people jealous and envious.
The news that Lin Heng had killed another wild boar spread throughout the village.
He has already hunted three big wild boars this year, which is really enviable. His skills and luck are beyond reproach, so enviable.
"Another wild boar and a white rice seed were killed?" After Liu Lan, Jin Yan and others found out, they opened their mouths but didn't know what to say.
But they knew that Lin Heng had just dug up black truffles a few days ago. How could this guy be so powerful?
Every time the women in the group who were the same age as Lin Heng heard this kind of news, they secretly regretted why they didn't marry Lin Heng in the first place, and let a woman from another village take advantage of him.
As soon as Lin Heng and his group arrived at the door, Lin Tao shouted, "My dad and my second dad are back!!"
The three men carried the wild boar into Lin Heng's house, and Lin's mother Liu Juan and others all rushed over.
When they saw that the father and his two sons had not returned early in the morning, they knew that they had probably caught prey.
When they saw not only wild boars but also civets, they were all surprised. This harvest far exceeded their expectations.
"You guys were really awesome this time. You managed to kill two prey at once." Lin's mother said in shock.
"You guys are so awesome! How did you get such a big harvest?" Liu Juan also looked incredulous.
"Dad is awesome!" Xiaoxia shouted while dancing with joy.
Xiulan went into the house to serve food to everyone. She thought everyone was starving.
“Boom boom boom!!”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Heng and the others were all stunned. Could it be that someone came to ask for a share of pork right after they got back? * * * ps: There will be another update later. I am rushing to finish the manuscript. I have been writing slowly recently.
