Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 143: Hitting a Roe Deer (please subscribe in full)
Leading the donkey, Ji Chang continued to look for new prey.

Catching a pheasant gave Ji Chang some confidence.After all, he did not rely on any external force, but relied solely on his own ability and strength.

While searching, Ji Chang paid attention to Ping An and Qinghu's reactions.

They will react in some way when they smell other prey.

However, this reaction will not be strong.

Because in the past, Ji Chang did not need to rely on them to find prey, so there was no targeted training for this area.

After a while, Ji Chang saw Qinghu and Ping An look at each other. It was obvious that something was going on.

Otherwise, they won't have any eye contact.

"It would be nice if I could know what they were thinking." Ji Chang muttered in his heart, and then slowed down.

To find prey, if there is no other external help, you can only rely on your ears.

Fortunately, Ji Chang's hearing has also been enhanced, and the more focused he is, the farther away he can hear and the clearer he can hear.

After a while, Ji Chang heard the sound of some animals moving around.

Although there are various calls in the forest, the sounds are not continuous, but have intervals.

When it's relatively quiet, you can hear some subtle sounds.

Animals move around, dig in the soil, and hum, all of which make sounds.

As long as your hearing is strong enough and the distance is close enough, you can hear it.

Following the sound, Ji Chang kept approaching the source of the sound.

Before taking action, he had already made the two hounds stay where they were, preventing them from moving around.

The same goes for the donkey, which is also very cooperative.

Slowly approaching, Ji Chang resisted the urge to turn on the health bar, and then saw two badgers looking for food, and did not notice Ji Chang approaching at all.

The badger definitely couldn't be shot with his own slingshot, so Ji Chang took out the [-]-meter Gai directly from his hunting space.

Ji Chang didn't dare to carry the bullet on his back when the bullet was loaded, for fear that it might go off and cause accidental injury to himself.

If the gun is not loaded and you wait until you are close to the prey before pulling the bolt, you may startle the prey.

The safest way is to put it directly in the hunting space and take it out when needed.

Ji Chang can use this method as long as there is no one else around.

After the gun appeared in his hand, Ji Chang aimed directly at one of the badgers.

Everyone was very satisfied with the pig badger last time, and I think they will like the pig badger even more.

After taking aim, Ji Chang directly pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", a badger was directly shot to death by Ji Chang on the spot and fell to the ground.

The other one jumped up on the spot, completely frightened.

Mainly because the 'bang' sound was too sudden, and the distance was very close, less than ten meters.

With Ji Chang touching him so close, it would be a little difficult for them to escape.

After pulling the trigger, Ji Chang didn't even check to see if it hit or not, but directly pulled the bolt as fast as possible.

When the second bullet was pressed into the chamber, the second badger began to escape.

However, the location where it escaped was right in front of Ji Chang, which gave Ji Chang the opportunity to shoot it.

"boom!"

Ji Chang decisively shot the second badger.

The second badger was hit by a bullet, and its rear butt lifted up to the sky. It flipped its body several times in the air before falling to the ground.

"Pretty!"

"Ping An, Qing Hu, and Er Donkey, come here." Ji Chang shouted, then put the shotgun into his hunting space and walked towards the two badgers.

The hound reacted very quickly and ran to Ji Chang's side in just a few breaths.

The donkey's reaction was a little slower, but Ji Chang didn't wait for it.

Soon, Ji Chang mentioned a badger.

After receiving it in his hunting space, Ji Chang went on to pick up the second one.

After both received hunting space, Ji Chang began to feel like looking for prey again.

Confidence is accumulated bit by bit, and so is experience.

Hunting is lonely, like fishing.

In order to fish, fishermen can often sit in one place all day, even if they don't get a bite, they can stay there.

The same goes for hunters.

Moreover, hunting in the mountains is much more interesting than fishing.

At least that's how it seems to Ji Chang.

Not far away, Ji Chang found some mushrooms.

Speaking of the mushrooms, Ji Chang also discovered the mushrooms from the virgin forest here last time and brought back the wood with the mushrooms growing on them.

Now, it is still kept in the house in my hometown and has not been cultivated.

Ji Chang saw these mushrooms and remembered this.

Before, I was thinking about growing mushrooms, but Ji Chang felt that no one in the village was willing to do it now.

After all, there are more valuable ones in the mountains. Who wants to go to the trouble of growing shiitake mushrooms yourself?
After all, growing mushrooms also costs money, and the cost is not low.

Nowadays, the price of mushrooms is not high, and you won’t make much money by growing them. It’s better to grow some medicinal materials, with low investment and quick returns.

So now that Ji Chang discovered the mushrooms, he just picked them and prepared to take the squatting pheasant together at noon.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms is still a very famous dish, and Ji Chang hasn't eaten it for a long time.

He picked the mushrooms and put them in his backpack, and then started looking for other things.

"I'm lucky, I found a Polygonum multiflorum." Ji Chang was happy when he saw a Polygonum multiflorum.

Ji Chang brought the engineering shovel and started digging Polygonum multiflorum directly.

Although he often goes to the mountains, Ji Chang rarely digs medicinal materials because there is not enough in many years and Ji Chang is not very interested.

The Polygonum multiflorum he met today looked like it was of a good age, so he was interested in digging it.

Carefully dig out the soil on the edge, and dig down bit by bit, and soon the Polygonum multiflorum appears.

As Ji Chang expected, this Polygonum multiflorum plant is indeed very old and looks very big.

It took Ji Chang half an hour to dig out Polygonum multiflorum.

A real Polygonum multiflorum weighs three to four kilograms, and could be sold for a lot of money.

After putting the Polygonum multiflorum away, Ji Chang started a new exploration.

Ji Chang encountered some squirrels on the road, and he didn't let them go. He shot them directly with a slingshot.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Ji Chang found a suitable place and started preparing lunch.

Ji Chang was going to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms at noon today. After taking out the rocket stove and iron pot from his hunting space, Ji Chang took out the pheasant and started processing it.

He plucked out all the pheasant feathers that he could, and then took the remaining feathers to the fire and burned them clean.

After processing the pheasant's feathers, Ji Changcai cut open its belly and took out the internal organs and threw them to Qinghu and Pingan.

After rinsing it, Ji Chang chopped the pheasant into pieces, put it in the pot, added some water, and finally cut the mushrooms into pieces and stewed them together.

"I'm missing some potatoes. I have to bring some potatoes and sweet potatoes next time I go out. It's good to eat them occasionally." Ji Chang had rice and bamboo tubes, so he planned to make a bamboo tube rice.

The chicken stewed with mushrooms in the pot soon became fragrant, attracting not only Ji Chang but also the two hounds.

They kept licking their lips and looking into the pot from time to time.

Ji Chang brought them some leopard meat, and they didn't have any objections.

This leopard meat is naturally the one Ji Chang and Qian Hui hunted together last time.

Considering that his cute tiger restaurant might not be sold out, Ji Chang kept some to feed the two hounds.

After feeding the two hounds, Ji Chang's chicken stewed with mushrooms was also cooked.

The firepower of the rocket stove is very strong, and the food is cooked faster.

The bamboo tube rice was also cooked, Ji Chang split it, and then ate the bamboo tube rice and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

One word, cool.

After eating the delicious lunch, Ji Chang rested for a while before packing up his things.

Where there should be hunting space, there should be hunting space, and where there should be hunting space, there should be space on the donkey's back.

After making sure that the flames would not rekindle, Ji Chang set off again and went in search of prey.

There didn't seem to be much hunting for prey in the afternoon, and Ji Chang didn't even encounter it.

After wandering around in the forest for most of the day, I didn't encounter a single prey.

Before you know it, it gets dark.

In the evening, Ji Chang took out the rocket stove and roasted some muntjac meat, making a simple meal.

In the evening, he prepared for a good hunt.

You don't need to use the health bar during the day, but you can't use it at night, and you have to use your night vision ability.

You can accumulate hunting experience during the day, but there is no need to do so at night.

After dinner and a brief rest, Ji Chang entered hunting mode.

Night vision mode is turned on, and health bar mode is also turned on.

This kind of vision still makes people feel at ease, especially at night.

Ji Chang quickly discovered some targets with relatively long health bars, mainly small animals of the raccoon family, as well as some hares and the like.

These disciplines are not very interesting, after all, he no longer makes money from these prey.

There are some differences between hunting and fishing. Fish can be put back after being caught, but game cannot be put back after being caught.

Unless, Ji Chang is willing to use healing skills and put them back.

However, Ji Chang felt that putting them back after treatment would increase the risk of their survival, like the two missing jackals.

Therefore, once the prey is captured, it is impossible to put it back.

Under such circumstances, Ji Chang was not very interested in small animals.

He prefers to hunt larger prey, such as mountain deer, muntjac and the like.

"Hey, there is actually a silly roe deer here?"

Ji Chang found a roe deer and couldn't help but exclaimed.

The roe deer seemed to hear Ji Chang's voice and ran away immediately.

However, Ji Chang's gun is not slow.

As it was escaping, Ji Chang shot it directly.

The roe deer fell down and was shot through its body.

Ping An and Qinghu rushed over there and caught up with the roe deer in a blink of an eye.

Before the roe deer was completely dead, Qinghu and Pingan bit its ears and held it tightly.

"Well done." Ji Chang praised them after seeing their performance.

This roe deer is quite big, weighing more than 100 kilograms.

Originally, Ji Chang thought that roe deer only existed in the north, but he did not expect that such creatures also existed in the south.

Ji Chang took out his hunting knife and bled the roe deer on the spot.

The two hounds were constantly licking the blood of the roe deer. They preferred to drink blood. Ji Chang also noticed this.

After draining the blood, Ji Chang cut open its belly and dug out its internal organs.

They still like to eat intestines, and they eat the intestines by pulling each other.

The roe deer was placed in his hunting space by Ji Chang, who then took out his tent and started preparing to rest.

It was impossible for him to hunt all night long, so he naturally needed to rest.

I shot a roe deer in the evening. It was pretty good and I could stop and rest.

After setting up the tent, Ji Chang took out the rocket stove, threw a piece of wood into the horse, and adjusted the air intake.

This rocket stove can adjust the size of the fire. Once it is turned down, it will be very resistant to burning.

After making the arrangements, Ji Chang got into the tent and went to sleep.

With two hounds guarding it, Ji Chang doesn't have to worry about being attacked by any animals at night.

If it really comes, he can use five, six and a half to protect himself.

Ji Chang was not woken up at night and slept until about nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

Sleeping until you wake up naturally is something that most people cannot do.

After getting up and stretching his body, Ji Chang fetched some water and boiled it while starting to prepare breakfast.

Ji Chang was going to eat roe deer meat for breakfast today. He took out the roe deer that he killed last night from the hunting space, and then cut out a large piece of meat from the roe deer's body.

Ji Chang planned to fry the meat directly, because the roe deer meat is relatively tender, and it would also be good to fry it into roe deer steaks.

After frying for a while, the roe deer meat exudes an attractive aroma.

In fact, this kind of meat can be fried to half-cooked like beef, especially after being processed in the hunting space, it will not be free of any germs and parasites.

However, out of personal habit, Ji often fry the meat until it is fully cooked before taking it out of the pan.

"We're just missing a folding table now. I'll design it properly this time when I go back." Ji Chang couldn't help but muttered.

It is also very cool to be able to block bugs in the hunting space. You can put various tools inside and carry them with you.

Ji Chang cut a piece of meat with a knife and took a bite.

"Not bad, very tender, much tenderer than pan-fried steak. If you can get some black pepper sauce, it would probably be good too." Ji Chang decided to take the roe deer back to Gu Shuyao and the others for a taste.

In addition, after hunting a roe deer, Ji Chang needs to register with the Forestry Bureau so that they know the distribution of this animal here.

After eating a piece of roe deer meat, Ji Chang still had some unfinished thoughts.

"I don't know what else I will gain today." Ji Chang was a little curious about what kind of gains he would get today.

We caught a brand new prey like roe deer last night. Will there be any more today?
After packing his things, Ji Chang embarked on his hunting trip again.

Today he planned to stay in the mountains for another day and wait until tomorrow morning before setting off home.

Now his position is very deep. No one has set foot in such a place. It is a paradise for wild animals.

So, there is still a good chance of discovering some new animals.

After encountering them, Ji Chang would consider taking pictures of them if he had no intention of hunting them.

Knowing the distribution of wild animals also has many benefits for him.
