Chapter 27: No Martial Ethics
"It's simple, we aim at the same time, and then I shout one, two, three and fire together.
What I shoot down is mine, and what is on your arrow is yours, how about that?"
Tian Baishun looked at Lin Heng and whispered.
"If you don't agree, I'll chase the grouse away and no one will be able to catch them."
Without waiting for Lin Heng to speak, Old Man Tian added another sentence, the main point is that he is shameless and dishonest.
"Old man Tian, you are so shameless." My uncle couldn't help but scold.
"So what? If you don't agree, I'll chase the chicken away." Tian Baishun is well-known for being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
"Okay, let's do as you say."
Lin Heng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement with Tian Baishun's proposal.
"Then follow me."
Tian Baishun glanced at Lin Heng and walked in front with a gun slung over his shoulder.
Lin Heng followed behind with a bow and an arrow in his hand. After walking about ten meters, he saw a grouse resting on a pine tree.
There are four of them in total, resting on two branches. Their feathers are blue-gray, and their legs and beaks are black.
None of the four had beautiful tail feathers, and they were all female grouse.
"I'll hit the left one, and you hit the right one."
Fifteen meters away from the grouse, Tian Baishun stopped and did not let Lin Heng go any further.
After positioning the gun, Tian Baishun took out a cannon from his pocket and placed it on the ignition hole.
This cannon is similar to a fire fuse. When you pull the trigger, the trigger head on the shotgun will hit the cannon under the action of the spring.
This creates a spark that ignites the gunpowder in the barrel, and the flame eventually pushes the ball out, causing damage to the target.
"Three... bang..."
Tian Baishun counted to three and fired with a bang. The red flames wrapped around the tiny balls flew out, drawing a beautiful scattered fire line in the air.
At the same time, there was a loud noise.
“Oh my god!!”
Lin Heng was startled by the sound, and shot the arrow out with a trembling hand.
“Gada gada!!”
One grouse was startled and flew up, and the remaining three all rolled under the tree. Lin Heng's arrow hit the tree trunk accurately.
"Old man Tian, you old fellow have no moral principles!!"
Lin Heng turned his head and cursed, "Damn it, we agreed to fire together, you will fire when you count two, right? " "Hey, I said three, two, one, fire together, I didn't say we have to count to one before we fire together.
Young man, hunting is not that easy, go home and practice for two years before trying again."
Tian Baishun smiled and ran over to pick up the grouse.
"Okay, okay, let's play it this way!"
Lin Heng pulled out another arrow, and with a "swish" sound, the sharp arrow pierced through a dead grouse.
"What are you doing?" Tian Baishun turned around and asked.
"You said that whatever my arrow hits is mine, but you didn't say I have to shoot it alive."
Lin Heng sneered.
"You are shameless, young man, you are bullying the elderly!"
Tian Baishun suddenly became unhappy.
"You are shameless." Lin Heng smiled and walked over to pick up a grouse.
Tian Baishun did not dare to stop him, because he was in the wrong in the first place, and now his gun was out of bullets, while Lin Heng still had a few arrows.
"Tian Baishun, you are old, why are you like this?"
Lin Heng's uncle came over and cursed.
"Actually, my hand slipped, it wasn't intentional." Tian Baishun chuckled.
Then he looked at Lin Heng and said, "Young man, I didn't realize you have some skills. Are you interested in taking on the big guys?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll shoot me in the back."
Lin Heng refused mercilessly.
"Hey, even though I have no children, I won't do something like this that will end my family lineage."
Tian Baishun said this in a gruff voice, as if this was a great insult to him.
Lin Heng ignored him, pulled out the arrow, and left with Xiongba.
The two men went straight back. With the previous shot, all the prey on this side of the mountain had been scared away, so there was no need to search any further.
This is also one of the disadvantages of a shotgun: it makes too much noise.
"You bastard, my ears are still ringing."
Lin Heng couldn't help but curse again, this Tian Baishun is really a dog.
Xiongba: “Woof woof?”
"I'm not talking about you. You're much better than him." Lin Heng glanced at Xiong Ba.
"Lin Heng, let me try your bow and arrow."
On the way back, my uncle borrowed the bow and arrow from me, wanting to give it a try.
Lin Heng taught him how to use it and let him figure it out on his own.
"No, it's too difficult. It's harder than a slingshot."
After playing for a while, his uncle returned the bow and arrow to him and went to try his slingshot.
On the way back, we didn't see any prey, and we didn't even see any squirrels. They were obviously scared.
But Lin Heng was already satisfied. Today's harvest was already very good.
"You go home. I'll help you carry two trees back."
When we reached the top of the mountain, my uncle took the slingshot and left.
Lin Heng didn't go. He was sore all over today and really didn't want to help.
I think no one would mind having rabbit meat for dinner.
On the way home, Lin Heng took another road and saw several yellow silk mushrooms, also known as chanterelles, on the side of the road.
Cai was about to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of golden light out of the corner of his eye.
"Yellow scoundrel!!"
He ran over quickly and cleared the leaves away. The three yellow lilies stood tall and graceful, making people salivate.
The scientific name of yellow cattle liver is Boletus edulis, also known as yellow cattle liver, which tastes extremely delicious.
Moreover, this mushroom can grow very large, up to more than ten centimeters in height, and the cap diameter can reach more than ten centimeters at most.
It is very easy to identify, the cap looks like it is cracked, in pieces and with wrinkles.
The wrinkles are golden yellow, while the rest of the body is brown.
The mushroom flesh is firm and delicious.
"Generally speaking, it takes half a month for this thing to grow mushrooms, but I didn't expect to see it earlier."
Lin Heng was very happy. The yellow radish was very big, one weighed more than three taels, and the three together weighed almost one kilogram.
"Woof!"
Xiongba leaned his head over and smelled it, then looked at the mushroom curiously.
"You can eat it when you go back tonight." Lin Heng touched its dog's head.
You definitely won’t want to eat morels at home, but yellow mullets are fine.
It tastes good and is available in large quantities. Most importantly, the purchase price is not expensive, only 40 cents per pound of dried fruit.
Because the taste of porcini mushrooms is not very good after being dried, unlike morels, which do not lose their flavor after being dried.
After collecting the three yellow lilies, Lin Heng took Xiongba home.
When I came back, Uncle Wang was still working in the fields.
Hearing the dog barking, he looked up and found that it was Lin Heng. A gloating smile appeared on his face: "Second son of the Lin family, failed, right? Hunting is not that simple. It requires skills. You can't just go up the mountain with a bow and arrow and shoot. Go home and work peacefully."
"Are you referring to this?" Lin Heng took out a rabbit from the backpack and asked in a puzzled manner.
I didn't want to pay attention to him, but it's annoying that this old man always likes to use his shallow experience to teach people how to do things.
Uncle Wang's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "Did you really get this?"
"I picked it up. I don't have the skills to hunt." Lin Heng smiled and put the rabbit away.
Seeing Lin Heng taking the dog away, Uncle Wang's head was buzzing. This second-rate guy actually knew how to hunt? And he used a bow and arrow? Is he still the second-rate guy who didn't do his job properly before? "No, maybe he really picked it up. If he had hit it, he would have shown it off long ago."
In the end, after deep thought, Uncle Wang came to a conclusion that he could accept.
