Chapter 43: It's all about technique, no water at all
Whew!
Crash! A heavy rain fell without warning, hitting the leaves with a rustling sound. The whole world became quiet in an instant, leaving only the white noise of rain and occasional thunder.
Lin Heng's arrow was like a black lightning that drew a graceful arc in the air. It was not known whether the wind was naughty or he was nervous, but the arrow failed to hit the vital point and pierced the badger's butt.
“Ahhh!!”
Amid the sound of the pouring rain, a shrill scream was heard. The badger, in pain, instantly felt its adrenaline surge and ran out madly.
At the same time, Xiongba and Lin Heng also chased out.
In the heavy rain, Xiongba ran like a cheetah. The surging power made his limbs appear phantom, his head moved up and down, and his ears shook.
Lin Heng didn't think about anything at this moment. He didn't even put on his raincoat. He stared at the figure of the wild boar and chased after it madly.
It's like a fisherman's rod being pulled away by a fish. He doesn't care about anything else and just swims into the water to chase it.
However, the power that comes from running for one's own life and running for prey is different after all, and gradually the badger disappeared into the rainforest.
"Woof woof!" Xiongba barked and tried hard to smell the bloodstains left on the ground to chase after it.
"Hurry up, Xiongba, after you catch this prey, Xiaoxia won't bother you for a month." Lin Heng supported his knees with his hands, saying while panting.
The few hundred meters of desperate pursuit he had just made almost cost him his life. He felt like his heart and lungs were about to explode.
"Woof!"
When Xiongba heard this, his ears suddenly pricked up and he ran forward.
Lin Heng took two breaths and ran forward with Xiongba.
Although the badger was injured and must have stopped now, Lin Heng still didn't hold out much hope.
The heavy rain covered the smell so much that the bloodstains were washed away, making it difficult to find them.
Xiongba seemed to become motivated because of his words.
Lin Heng took out the plastic film and covered himself with it. The rain was too heavy and he couldn't bear it. He was shivering with cold.
After more than ten minutes, there was still no harvest and no blood was seen on the ground.
"Let's go, Xiongba, let's go home." Lin Heng shook his head and shouted at Xiongba.
“Woof woof!”
Xiongba turned his head and looked at him, his pair of light golden pupils revealing a determined look, then turned his head and continued to look for clues on the ground.
"Okay, let's look for another ten minutes. If we can't find it, forget it." Lin Heng shook his head and continued to look for it with it.
Boom! It was already dark and he could barely see the road. Thunder and lightning exploded from time to time in the sky. The sound of rain in the forest accompanied by the stomping sound of Lin Heng on the ground made him feel as if he had become a knight. In his heart, he kept recalling and reflecting on his actions just now. He felt that he was still too nervous and should have moved closer.
“Woof woof!!”
Suddenly, Xiongba barked twice and ran out.
"Did they find it?"
Lin Heng's face lit up with joy and he quickly followed.
I caught up with Xiongba, but I didn't see the prey, but I saw a large pool of blood.
"It's bleeding heavily, it looks like it's dying!" Lin Heng said happily. He originally thought that his arrow only caused superficial injuries, but now it seems that it has damaged its internal organs.
The bloodstains that follow are very obvious, so it doesn’t matter if Xiongba is not used.
“Woof woof woof!!”
A few minutes later, Xiongba roared under a big rock.
“Ahhh!!”
Under the stone, the badger let out a loud roar.
Lin Heng walked over and saw it huddled in the crevice of a rock, bleeding from its body. Its pair of black almond-shaped eyes revealed a variety of emotions including fear, the desire to survive, and anger.
"Gurgle~"
It seemed that it had lost too much blood and could no longer make a sound. Blood foam appeared at its mouth and the look in its eyes turned into a desire to live.
"It's a pity that you can't survive!"
Lin Heng shook his head and shot an arrow into its neck, quickly ending its life.
After it died, Lin Heng walked up and pulled out the arrow from its neck. After making sure it was dead, he grabbed its front legs and pulled it out.
"No wonder it died. The arrow pierced its stomach diagonally!" Lin Heng looked at the arrow on the badger's left buttock and sighed that he was really lucky.
If it had hit him right in the butt, he would have probably run away.
He lifted it up and weighed it, and Lin Heng couldn't stop smiling: "It's definitely 20 kilograms, and 30 kilograms is not impossible."
“Ouch~~”
Xiongba was also happily spinning around, sticking out his tongue, with a smile on his face.
"You take half the credit!"
Lin Heng touched Xiong Ba fiercely and said with a smile: "I will reward you well when I go back."
After saying that, he picked up the badger and walked back. Suddenly, his body was no longer cold, his waist was no longer sore, and his legs no longer hurt.
If I had a cell phone, I would have taken a photo and posted it online.
By the time the man and the dog returned to the foot of Red Maple Mountain, it was completely dark. Although they were physically and mentally exhausted, their excitement overwhelmed them all.
"Lin Heng, is that you?" At this time, the light of a flashlight and the voice of his wife Xiulan were heard from a distance.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Heng walked over quickly and saw his wife wearing a raincoat and holding a flashlight.
"Let me...you, you hunted such a big prey???"
Xiulan was halfway through her words when she suddenly saw the badger on Lin Heng's shoulder, and her mouth and eyes suddenly widened.
"Hahaha, of course, I ran up a mountain for it!!"
Lin Heng laughed out loud, very satisfied with his wife's expression.
Xiulan still couldn't accept it, so she walked closer and took a closer look. It was indeed a badger, shot to death with an arrow, not a domestic pig.
"How did you do that?" Xiulan was shocked, and could hardly believe that this was something her husband could do.
She was so frightened that she forgot that she was there to deliver a flashlight to Lin Heng, and her eyes were all focused on the badger.
"That's a long story!" Lin Heng chuckled and began to brag about his abilities.
He did not want to give up halfway, nor did he feel hopeless. Instead, he was sure that the badger's internal organs were injured by him and he was sure that he could catch it.
Anyway, he exaggerates and makes himself sound like a god, just like a fisherman who is lucky enough to catch a big fish. It's not luck, it's all due to his own skills.
"Of course, Xiongba also played an indelible contribution in this!" Lin Heng smiled.
Xiong Ba stared at Lin Heng with his eyes fixed: "Awooo~~"
Its eyes seemed to be saying, so you are such a master, aren't you ashamed?
"Awesome, so awesome!" Xiulan really believed his words. After all, the prey was here.
His eyes were full of admiration. He stretched out his hand and pinched the badger and said in shock: "How many days will it take to eat this? This fur must be sold for thirty or forty yuan!"
