Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 340 Crouching with the lynx
Sheng Xiping quickly skinned the two raccoons, packed them up, and took them to the warehouse to hang them up.

Afterwards, I went back to the house, washed my hands, brought the food and went out to eat.After finishing the meal, I washed away the dishes and then went into the house to comfort the children.

Sheng Xinhua can now sleep through the night. He goes to bed at around [-]pm or almost [-]pm and wakes up at [-]am.

After eating and playing for a while, I can sleep from eight to ten o'clock. I have another nap in the afternoon and sleep from two to four o'clock.

Just in time, Sheng Xinhua was sleeping, Sheng Xiping was dressed and went to work, and Zhang Shuzhen could tidy up the inside and outside of the house and do some needlework at home.

The work in the security department is divided into day shift and night shift, and Sheng Xiping likes to work the night shift.

I was on duty in the field department at night. I walked around twice in the first half of the night and then went to sleep when nothing happened. Then I got up at one or two in the middle of the night and walked around again, and then returned to sleep again.

When you get home from work during the day, you can take your dog into the mountains to hunt without delaying anything.

The day shift is also fine. I come to the field department in the morning, go for a run around twice, and occasionally practice target shooting, and then I'm in the office.

When people came to do things, they worked. When no one came, they drank tea and read newspapers. Otherwise, they found a place to sleep when it was time to sleep.

On this day, isn’t it a hundred times better than going to the mountain to lift wood?

Although the salary is not high, you can't afford to earn a lot from your side job. Who can live on that small salary for a capable person?

The forest farm is located in the mountain nest. There is plenty of wood. There is a stove in the office, but I can throw firewood in it and keep the room warm.

During the day, everyone drinks tea and brags in the office, and then goes home from get off work at one o'clock.

"Mom, wife, I'm going to the mountains tonight to squat on that mountain raccoon."

When Sheng Xiping came home from get off work, he took off his hat and coat when he entered the door. When he looked back, he saw that food had been placed on the south kang, so he sat down to eat and said.

"Going into the mountains at night? Is that okay? It's too cold in the mountains at this time. Besides, it's very dangerous in the mountains at night. Don't go there."

Zhou Qinglan had already learned from her mother-in-law that Sheng Xiping came back with two raccoon dogs in the morning. He was worried about Sheng Xiping's safety and did not want him to go up the mountain.

"It's okay, it's not too far from our forest farm. The weather is not bad at this time and I can bear it at night.

I have to kill that mountain raccoon, otherwise if I set a trap, it will definitely steal again. "

With Sheng Xiping's temper, he had to do what he was determined to do, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

"Can you do it by yourself? Otherwise, let Xikang accompany you? You two can be your companions, and we can feel more at ease at home."

Zhang Shuzhen knew her son's temperament, so she didn't try to dissuade him. She just asked the third child to follow him so that they could take care of each other.

"No need, the third child has to go to school tomorrow, and I don't know if I can wait for the lynx tonight. It will probably take half the night.

He is still young, don't follow me to the mountains for a night, and then he will be out of the cold. "

Sheng Xiping glanced at his third brother and shook his head. This boy had not suffered much.

At night, the wild beasts in the mountains howl, and the woods whine due to the north wind, making ghosts cry and howl. Just like Sheng Xikang, don't freak out.

"It's okay, I'll take my son to play more, take a flashlight or something, and try to squat in front of me for half the night.

If the lynx doesn't come in the middle of the night, I'll go home. "

Lynx, like leopards, has the habit of hiding food, but leopards hide their food in trees, while lynx usually hide their food in grass or snowdrifts.

I don’t know when last night, the lynx stole the roe deer, ate part of it, and hid the rest.

Sheng Xiping estimated that this guy would definitely look for the food it had hidden tonight, so he squatted nearby and tried to beat this guy to death.

A piece of lynx skin can be sold for hundreds of dollars. If you are really lucky, isn't this a huge sum of money?

"Brother, I'm fine. I don't have a lot of school work now. Besides, it's just for one night. I can hold on."

Just now Zhang Shuzhen said that when Sheng Xikang was asked to follow him into the mountains, Sheng Xikang was quite looking forward to it.

He had never spent a night in the mountains before, so he thought it would be exciting and interesting.

Before he could speak, Sheng Xiping refused directly, and Sheng Xikang was a little disappointed.

Taking advantage of the gap between the elder brother's words, he quickly expressed his attitude and tried to win again.

"No, you can stay at home. Our father and son are both in the mountains, and I'm going hunting in the mountains again.

It's just our mother and your sister-in-law who will lead them tonight, and it won't work if there's no one at home to take care of them. "

Sheng Xiping shook his head, saying that he could not agree to follow Sheng Xikang into the mountain.

Seeing that his elder brother had such a tough attitude, and what he said made sense, Sheng Xikang had no choice but to snort in frustration and agreed to stay home.

After dinner, Sheng Xiping started to pack things.

In the past two years, she has been hunting roe deer a lot, and her family has saved a lot of roe deer skins. In addition to making roe deer skin mattresses, Sheng Xiping also asked Zhang Shuzhen to make leather jackets and leather trousers.

The cooked roe deer skin is very soft and has a very good effect of keeping warm and cool. When entering the mountains in this cold weather, you must be prepared.

Sheng Xiping put on his trousers and leggings, then put on cotton trousers, then roe deer leather trousers, and put on a roe deer leather jacket outside the cotton jacket.

Then, carrying a roe-skin mattress, a flashlight, a gun, bullets, batteries and other necessary things, he left home at around seven o'clock.

November [-]th, September [-]th of the lunar calendar, was the day of the big moon. The moonlight reflected the snow, but it was not dark outside.

Sheng Xiping didn't use a flashlight, so he followed the same path he took in the morning and entered the forest.

Walking into the mountains at night is always not as fast as during the day. Sheng Xiping entered the forest around 08 o'clock and did not arrive at the place where the lynx hid the roe deer until after 30:[-].

Sheng Xiping didn't go too close and just shined a flashlight on the roe deer's body. It looked like it didn't change much from the morning.

Winter has just entered in early November. The sun is shining during the day, the temperature is not that low, and the roe deer meat is barely frozen.

It's not like in the twelfth lunar month of winter, when I was left outside and was frozen to death overnight.

The roe deer's body didn't change much, which meant that the lynx didn't come during the day.

Sheng Xiping did not take away the roe deer carcass during the day, but he planned to come and squat the lynx at night, so he took a good look around and knew the nearby terrain in his mind.

At this time, Sheng Xiping found a place behind a large tree stump 60 to [-] meters away from the roe deer's body.

Then he spread half of the roe deer skin mattress and knelt on it, and half of it was placed on his back to protect him from the wind.

The stump was less than two feet high, and it was just right for five or six halves to be placed on it, so that they didn't have to hold it all the time.

Sheng Xiping wrapped the front of the gun barrel with tin foil from the cigarette box to help with aiming.

In this way, Sheng Xijing hid quietly behind the tree stump, motionless, and tried to keep his breathing steady and light, so as not to disturb the prey.

The mountain forest at night is full of all kinds of weird sounds, whimpering and sobbing mixed together. People with poor psychological quality really can't stand this atmosphere.

Fortunately, Sheng Xiping was mentally strong enough and was not afraid of this. He just stared straight ahead and paid attention to what was going on around him at all times.

In the silent cold night, every minute and every second seemed to pass very slowly.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, there seemed to be a slight noise in the forest.

Sheng Xiping's heart trembled, and he immediately cheered up and stared ahead.

Under the moonlight, a light shadow flew from a distance at an extremely fast speed.

But when it rushed forward, it did not go directly to eat the roe deer's body. Instead, it jumped to a nearby tree.

His eyes, glowing with yellow-green light in the night, looked around carefully.This guy lay motionless on the tree and waited for more than ten minutes.

After confirming that there was no danger around, he jumped down from the tree, pounced on the roe deer's body, and began to gnaw on it.

In early winter, the night temperature was not particularly low. Although the roe deer meat was frozen, it was not difficult to chew with the sharp teeth of the beast.

Sheng Xiping, who was hiding behind a tree stump, heard a series of whining sounds coming from in front of him.

At this point, it was finally confirmed that the one eating on the opposite side was Shan Lizi.

It seems that when cats eat, they will make a purring sound to warn the surroundings.

Sheng Xiping didn't look at his watch, he just counted silently in his mind. After waiting for about three or four minutes, the mountain lizard had completely given up his vigilance and concentrated on eating.

Sheng Xiping took off his gloves very quickly, pulled the bolt of the gun, put the gun to his face, and pulled the trigger.

There was a bang of a gunshot, and then, a scream came from the opposite side, and a shadow jumped up and was about to run away.

Sheng Xiping was not confused at all, he pulled the trigger again and fired another shot.

The shadow in mid-air fell to the ground with a plop, seemed to twitch twice, and then stopped moving.

Sheng Xiping stood up from behind the tree stump, moved his legs and feet, then walked towards the place where the shadow fell with his gun in hand.

When I came closer and turned on the flashlight, I saw a cat-like animal that was almost one meter long, with gray fur, dark spots, and a short and thick tail. It was lying motionless on the ground.

Sheng Xiping raised his foot and kicked the mountain raccoon, but there was no reaction at all.

Sheng Xiping squatted down, turned over Shan Lizi's body, and shot the guy in the stomach and the head with another shot.

It's okay. Although the fur is a little damaged, it's not serious and should fetch a good price.

"I asked you to steal my roe deer. Is it okay this time? I even risked my life."

Sheng Xiping muttered, bent down and picked up the mountain lizi body, dragged it near the roe deer body, and then pulled the roe deer body out of the snow.

Although a lot of the roe deer was eaten by mountain raccoon dogs and raccoon dogs, half of it was left. Sheng Xiping planned to drag it home and feed it to the dogs.

He had spent so much effort going up the mountain, so naturally he couldn't waste it. He couldn't leave behind what should be brought back.

Sheng Xiping dragged the roe deer and mountain lizard to the place where he was hiding just now, found a rope, tied the two prey together, and dragged them back later.

Then, he put away the roe-skin mattress, tied it with a rope, and carried it on his back.

Five or six half cocked the gun and slung it over his right shoulder.

In fact, when it comes to carrying a gun, there is also a saying that it is easier to carry it cross-body because the gun will not fall back, but it will be troublesome to pick it up.

Just carry it in a single room. The butt of the gun is heavy and will fall back when walking, but it is easy to pick up the gun when something happens.Anyway, there are pros and cons to each.

But when Sheng Xiping goes into the mountains, he carries a gun on his right shoulder most of the time. If he encounters danger, he can respond quickly.

After everything was tidied up, Sheng Xiping dragged his prey back.

I caught two raccoon dogs and a mountain raccoon dog that day, and the harvest was quite big.

Sheng Xiping was happy in his heart. Even though he was carrying things and dragging prey, his steps were still brisk and he didn't feel heavy at all.

But as he walked, Sheng Xiping suddenly felt something was wrong. There was a cool breeze blowing from his back, and his heart felt hairy, as if there was something staring at him from behind.

Sheng Xiping didn't dare to stop and just handed the rope from his right hand to his left hand.

Then he clasped the strap of the gun with his right thumb, slid it upward, and took off the gun directly.

At the same time, he threw away the rope in his left hand, held the butt of the gun, raised his hand to pull the bolt, and turned around to aim behind him.

Less than a hundred meters away from behind Sheng Xiping, there were two pairs of eyes glowing with a strange green light, looking towards this side faintly.

They are wolves, two bad wolves that come out to look for food at night.

They were attracted by the smell of blood, and originally planned to follow Sheng Xiping secretly, look for opportunities to make a sneak attack, and then have a hearty meal.

Unexpectedly, before they could find a chance, Sheng Xiping discovered their existence.

When the tracking was discovered, the two wolves were very angry. They raised their heads and made ooh sounds toward the sky.

The wolf's howl is loud and clear. Against the background of the night, it becomes even more terrifying, making people's hair stand up involuntarily.

Sheng Xiping felt a shiver in his heart. These two wolves were probably spies sent by the wolves. Their cries were probably sending messages to the wolves.

Many of the wolves in this mountain were killed by Sheng Xiping and others during the last spring hunting.

However, this year there was no spring hunting in the forest farm or the large alkali farm, so the wolves are likely to breed again.

Sheng Xiping couldn't guess how big the wolf pack was, and now was not the time to explore it.

Now that the two wolves have discovered him, they are sending the message back. Maybe the wolves will arrive soon.

Although Sheng Xiping went into the mountains tonight with two packs of bullets, the night was dominated by wolves and other nocturnal beasts.

Once surrounded by wolves, no matter how many bullets you have, there is no guarantee that you will be able to kill them all.

It would be dangerous if the bullets ran out.

Thinking of this, Sheng Xiping gritted his teeth, pulled the trigger, and shot at the wolf opposite.

There were ten bullets in the gun's chamber. Two were used to shoot the raccoons, and there were eight left.

They saw that Sheng Xiping had no intention of lowering his gun. He pulled the trigger continuously and shot out all eight bullets in one breath.

If this were replaced by an old-fashioned musket or a No. 16 gun, we would be in trouble today.

Fortunately, Sheng Xiping brought five or six and a half, and eight bullets were fired continuously. The two wolves on the opposite side had no time to dodge, and fell to the ground after being shot.

Sheng Xiping didn't know where his shots hit the wolf, and he didn't bother to check. At this time, he had to load the gun quickly.

Thanks to the many bullets he had brought into the mountainous area, he took out the bullets from the pocket of his big leather jacket, pressed them into the magazine, then pulled out the magazine, pulled down the bolt, and loaded ten bullets.

The two wolves in the distance were probably dead and made no more noise. Sheng Xiping was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore. He only bent down to pick up the rope and quickly walked out dragging the lynx and roe deer.

Before Sheng Xiping walked out of Erlidi, he heard the howling of wolves in the distance.

This time, it seemed that there were not just one or two wolves. Listening to the movement, it seemed that there must be a dozen or so wolves.

Sheng Xiping kept walking and continued to move forward. At this time, he could go as far as he could.

It would be fine if the wolves didn't catch up. If they did, his gun wouldn't be a vegetarian anyway.

In this way, Sheng Xiping walked forward for a while, and the howling of the wolf became closer and closer.

Obviously, these vengeful guys followed the bloody scent and came after them.

It was already past ten o'clock and the moon was rising very high. Sheng Xiping used the moonlight to look around and found no particularly powerful terrain.

However, there are quite a few red pine trees here.

Sheng Xiping had an idea and threw the bodies of the lynx and roe deer under the tree. He climbed up the pine tree with a gun on his back.
