Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 167 Unexpected surprise and coconut milk-flavored White Rabbit toffee

"what is this?"

Lin Yue asked in a very low voice.

There were two huge red toon trees in the direction of Lin Heng's finger. The moonlight fell from the other side of the red toon trees, causing the shadow of the red toon trees to cover the trees below.

And just on the branch in the shadow of the red toon tree, a black shadow was entrenched there.

They didn't turn on the flashlight, but they could feel that the guy was already watching them. Definitely discovered them early.

"I can't see clearly, and I don't know."

Lin Heng shook his head, placed the bow bag on the ground, opened it and took out the compound bow and hunting arrows.

The two sides were about seventy meters apart, and the black figure on the tree had no intention of escaping.

Lin Heng was about to take aim with his bow when the black shadow suddenly jumped down from the tree, which made him look helpless. This thing was too vigilant.

"what!"

Suddenly, Lin Heng let out another cry of surprise. It turned out that the black shadow was not falling from a tree.

It went down to a branch near the red toon tree and jumped to the red toon tree next door. Then he ran around twice and climbed directly to the top of the red toon tree.

Does it think red toon trees are taller and therefore safer?

Lin Heng couldn't help but smile in his heart.

I thought there was no hope, but I didn’t expect it to be even better.

The trees are taller and there are fewer obstacles. An ordinary bow and arrow may still be difficult, but he has a modern compound bow. A tree more than ten meters high is not a problem.

Moreover, Xiongba has quietly touched the foot of the tree, and now this guy is riding a tiger, unable to get off.

Lin Heng took the bow and arrow and changed the direction, avoiding the branches and branches, and aimed again.

The red toon tree at this season has no leaves, and this black shadow can be clearly seen on the light green trunk.

Now about fifty meters away, Lin Heng waited for the mountain wind to subside and then shot out an arrow.

With a hiss, the hunting arrow made a perfect arc in the air, and then passed under the black shadow.

Lin Heng let out a cry of surprise: "Hey, it seems that the wind at this high altitude is a little stronger than I expected."

"It's okay, you try again, it didn't run away." Lin Yue comforted.

"Ah."

Lin Heng nodded. The autumn wind in the sky at night was stronger than he expected.

But fortunately, the black shadow only climbed a little higher, and he could try again.

Lin Heng took aim again, and this time he drew a full bow.

Based on the experience last time, this time the hunting arrow drew a beautiful arc in the night sky and plunged into the black shadow's body with a plop.

Almost at the moment of the hit, the black shadow fell from the top of the tree more than ten meters high, making a muffled sound.

"go!"

Lin Heng pulled his eldest brother and said something, ignoring the motionless golden rooster on the tree behind him, and ran towards the red ton tree.

The ground was a bit wet and soft, and their Jiefang shoes sank in and became completely wet.

However, this did not dampen the excitement of the two people.

"What do you think it is? White rice, wild cat, or leopard?" Lin Yue asked in a very small, but very excited voice.

"I'm not sure. I can't see clearly without a flashlight." Lin Heng shook his head.

"I guess it's a wild cat that climbs trees too fast." Lin Yue whispered.

"I guess so." Lin Heng nodded.

The two trotted over and soon arrived under the red toon tree. Xiong Ba was guarding the side. This black shadow was too dead to die.

The two turned on the flashlight and finally saw its true face.

"Holy shit, it's actually a leopard." The two of them exclaimed at the same time.

Lin Heng originally thought it was just a big wild cat, but he didn't expect it to be a leopard. This was so unexpected and surprising.

His arrow penetrated its chest horizontally, and since it fell so high, it made no sound at all.

"This is a clouded leopard. Strictly speaking, it's a cat that looks like a leopard." Lin Heng looked at it and said with a smile.

There are several kinds of leopards in the Qinling Mountains. This is the clouded leopard, which is small in size. The largest one only weighs forty or fifty kilograms, and there are many of them.

Leopards, also known as golden leopards, are very rare. Lin Heng felt that the clouded leopard that was bitten to death in Chestnut Mountain might have been caused by a leopard.

"This one is not too small. This is a male leopard. I estimate it weighs forty pounds." Lin Yue said in surprise, grabbing the leopard and looking at it again and again.

"What a surprise. Who would have thought that when hunting a golden rooster, we would hit a leopard? It's crazy, brother." Lin Yue was completely incoherent.

"This is not a surprise, this is such a fucking surprise!"

It's like your fishing target was melon-seed crucian carp, but a big grass carp came in while fishing, and not only did it come, but it was also caught by you. Suddenly a new prey was unlocked, how could Lin Heng not be excited.

After getting excited, Lin Heng added: "But hunting is like this, it often depends on luck. Brother, your novice aura is too powerful."

Lin Yue grinned: "You are the best."

The two looked at the clouded leopard again, pulled out the arrow, and a large amount of blood gurgled out. The bully quickly ran over to lick the blood, and his main goal was not to waste a drop.

"Should we go back now?" Lin Yue asked, looking at the leopard.

Lin Heng looked at his watch. It was just eleven o'clock and said, "Put the leopard here first. Let's search nearby for a while. Didn't you just see a golden rooster? Try it yourself."

"There are two of them, both on that tree branch. How about we go together, one each?" Lin Yue suggested.

Lin Heng nodded: "Okay, you attack first, and I will take action after you attack."

He wanted to practice his reflexes, and it didn't matter if he didn't cum.

The two of them discussed it and walked over. The benefits of using bows and arrows were revealed. They killed a clouded leopard here without making much noise, and they could continue to hunt golden roosters.

As for the hunting arrow that was just shot, we can only wait for a while to find it. Searching randomly with a flashlight can easily scare the golden rooster.

Lin Heng stopped when he was ten meters away from the golden rooster. The golden rooster is easy to recognize. Both the male and female have long tail feathers, which can be seen from a distance.

Lin Yue continued to move forward and reached a position only five or six meters away. He calmed down, took the bow and arrow, aimed at the lower one, and shot out.

With a bang, the arrow flew out, grazing the golden rooster's feathers. The two golden roosters were so frightened that they flew up with a rattling sound.

As soon as one of them took off, it was shot down by a hunting arrow flying from the air, and fell to the ground with a clatter. The other one flew all the way to the other side of the mountain and disappeared.

"I'm so bad, I can't even shoot accurately." Lin Yue went to pick up the hunting arrow and said frustratedly.

Lin Heng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's normal to be nervous for the first time. Just try a few more times and it will be fine."

His eldest brother's current archery skills are enough to try hunting golden pheasants at night, and he can get very close. It is impossible for him to succeed in hunting during the day. Bow and arrow require not only talent but also a lot of practice.

"Thanks to you, otherwise these two golden roosters would have run away." Lin Yue sighed. He used to think it was very simple when he watched Lin Heng hunt, but after he got started, he realized that it really requires skills.

He has been practicing for twenty days and can't even shoot accurately from five to six meters. Lin Heng used to be able to shoot hares and pheasants from thirty to forty meters with his bow and arrow, which was really terrifying.

"Don't be nervous, you have already gained something today, so it doesn't matter if you fly." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay." Lin Yue nodded.

After the discussion, Lin Yue continued to look for the golden rooster, while Lin Heng went back to find his hunting arrows.

He searched for it for a long time with a flashlight before he found that the hunting arrow was stuck in a tree. Fortunately, the white tail feathers were very obvious, otherwise he would not have been able to find it.

After finding the hunting arrow, Lin Heng continued to search in the forest. After searching around the mountain, he found nothing, so he went to a higher position.

"Brother, come here quickly!"

As soon as Lin Heng came over, he heard his elder brother's call.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Heng asked curiously.

"I'll come later."

Lin Yue said to lead the way, and within a few minutes, they came to another small ravine.

This ravine is one of the sources of Badang Valley. On both sides of the ravine are dense Xiangzi forests, and there are many tall camphor trees and cypress trees scattered among them.

These trees are evergreen all year round and shade many of them.

"Look, there's a group of bamboo chickens on that tree branch. What should we do?" Lin Yue said excitedly.

When Lin Heng walked over, he saw that there were at least a dozen bamboo chickens resting on the tree next to the thorn cedar tree.

This thing is much smaller than the golden rooster, but each group has a large number.

The golden roosters no longer form groups, only three or four at most, because they are afraid of being beaten.

When encountering bamboo chickens, shotguns are the best to use, but it's a pity that they don't have them.

"There's nothing you can do. Brother, just touch them and try. Maybe they won't fly very far after being frightened. They'll be easier to fight if they disperse." Lin Heng looked at him and said.

Lin Yue nodded: "That can only be like this."

He wiped the sweat from his palms and touched it with a bow and arrow. The last time he failed, this time he decided to go directly to the tree. As close as possible, preferably directly to the face.

However, this time he seemed to be too close. As soon as he reached the tree, three or four bamboo chickens flew out.

When Lin Heng saw the other two trees not far away, he immediately became happy. He put on his bow and shot down two bamboo chickens with two arrows.

At the same time, he also heard a hissing sound. He turned around and saw a bamboo chicken landing on the ground. The group was frightened and scattered in all directions.

Some of these flying bamboo chickens flew far away, and some landed on nearby trees.

"I succeeded." Lin Yue came out carrying the bamboo chicken with a smile on his face.

"Okay, leave the rest to me." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He took his bow and arrow and shot four more in succession. The largest thing was only six taels, and the smaller ones were three or four taels. The number looked like a lot, but in fact it was not much.

So far, they have harvested a total of seven bamboo chickens, one golden rooster, one egret, and one clouded leopard in the evening.

Apart from the unexpected clouded leopard, the harvest is pretty good.

This is almost a normal phenomenon in autumn and winter, this is the hunting season.

Of course, if he hadn't used a bow and arrow, he might have scared away everything else when he shot the egret.

"Keep looking."

Both of them were in high spirits, even though it was already twelve o'clock.

A man's love for hunting is engraved in his bones, and he will continue to do so after the hunt is over.

He searched the three source valleys but found nothing. Lin Heng also went to the water pool to check, and there were only some stream groupers, and they were not big.

Seeing that it was already past one o'clock, Lin Heng said, "Let's go home."

"Okay." Lin Yue nodded. The two brothers walked back, put all the prey into the backpacks, and walked back on their backs.

After returning to Hongfeng Mountain, the two got off the road and walked back along the road.

"Look, there's a flashlight on the mountain." Lin Yue pointed at the mountain and said.

"I don't know who it is." Lin Heng said curiously, he also saw it.

The two people should have gone in another direction. They heard gunshots there just at dusk.

The two people obviously noticed them and came down quickly.

"It's Lin Heng, right? You didn't call me when you were hunting." Not long after, a rough voice came.

When Lin Heng heard that it was Old Man Tian, ​​he immediately laughed and said: "Old Man Tian, ​​I'm taking my brother to have fun. It's inappropriate to call you a master."

"Wait for me, come down and talk." Old Man Tian shouted.

Walking with him was a hunter from the village named Wang Qiang. He was in his forties, with a Chinese character and a mustache.

Wang Qiang looked at Tian Baishun and whispered: "I guess they are afraid of missing. Hunting with bows and arrows is unreliable. It doesn't look like hunting with a novice."

He had always thought that hunting with bows and arrows was just a joke, and that you had to have a shotgun to be powerful.

Tian Baishun glanced at him, shook his head and said, "You look down on bows and arrows. The compound bow in Lin Heng's hand is more powerful than your shotgun.

And don’t underestimate that kid’s ability, he’s very powerful, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to make a fortune. "

Wang Qiang didn't take it seriously and smiled arrogantly: "A bow and arrow are more powerful than my shotgun? I don't believe it."

"Well, you'll know when I meet you." Old Man Tian shook his head. This man is too proud. He has a shotgun but he despises others who play with bows and arrows and set traps.

After a while, the two walked down.

"We each shot three golden roosters. How was your harvest?" Wang Qiang asked first, shining the flashlight on Lin Heng's face.

Lin Heng frowned and felt uncomfortable, and said, "It's okay."

He had met this person before, but had no interaction with him.

"What did you hit?" Wang Qiang felt like he didn't hit him, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

He turned to look at Tian Baishun, with a sense of showing off, feeling that he was right.

"Nothing, just two golden roosters." Lin Heng said casually.

"Two golden roosters?" Wang Qiang was stunned, a little unbelievable. He only managed to shoot three with his gun, and Lin Heng could also shoot two.

He quickly walked up to Lin Heng and the two of them, and said with a smile: "Let me see how big the golden rooster you shot is."

He took a flashlight and took a photo, and was stunned in place. He saw not only a lot of birds in the basket, but also a leopard lying at the bottom.

"Did you beat them or pick them up?"

He blurted out these words because he had never thought that a bow and arrow could hit so many things, and subconsciously thought it was a mistake.

But Lin Heng and Lin Yue immediately felt bad, especially Lin Heng, who was very angry just after the flashlight shone in his eyes.

"This has nothing to do with you, Xiongba, let's go."

Lin Heng said something and left quickly with his eldest brother.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Wang Qiang was so anxious that he wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare when he saw the big dog.

"You don't know how to talk. Have you ever seen anyone who can pick up a leopard?" Tian Baishun shook his head. Wang Qiang was an honest person, even though he was stupid, he was also arrogant.

Wang Qiang argued: "I was wrong, but that is a leopard. It is too false to say that it can be hit with a bow and arrow."

In all his years of hunting, he had only seen a leopard once from a distance, and he had no chance to draw his gun.

When he saw someone hit a leopard with a bow and arrow, he didn't believe anything he said. He now felt that Lin Heng didn't hit the leopard by himself.

"Lin Heng, why are you running so fast? Let me see the leopard you beat." Old Man Tian roared.

"You can watch it if you want, but forget it, Uncle Wang. If he's not in a good mood, don't let him watch it."

Lin Heng smiled and said, I won't let Wang Qiang see it anyway, it's too insulting to this person.

This is worse than seeing a fisherman holding a fishing rod and carrying a fish saying that the fish is bought. It is really disgusting.

Wang Qiang: "..."

He was so anxious in his heart that he really wanted to see the leopard up close.

"Okay, let me see." Tian Baishun walked over with a smile.

Wang Qiang wanted to move forward, but Xiongba stared at him with bared teeth, as if he would give you a bite if he got close.

"How do you like it? Are you awesome?" Lin Heng put down the backpack and looked at Old Man Tian and said with a smile.

When letting Tian Baishun look, he also blocked Wang Qiang's view.

"You're not only awesome, you're awesome! You don't even call me when you hunt big prey now. Please tell me how you caught it."

Tian Baishun is not very curious about those bamboo chickens and golden chickens. It is normal for Lin Heng to have this ability.

But this clouded leopard made him sore. After hunting for more than ten years, he had never caught such a thing.

Looking up, it was obvious that he was shot to death by Lin Heng's arrow. This young man was too fierce.

"Hahahaha!" Lin Heng couldn't help but laugh, wanting to hear this.

Tian Baishun urged: "Hurry up and tell me how you were beaten. You are really the biological son of the Mountain God."

"I think it's because I'm a newbie. I met it at the top of the red chrysanthemum tree in Shibadang Valley. I shot two arrows at it when it was on the tree," Lin Heng said with a smile.

When he set out today, he didn't even think about hunting clouded leopards or anything like that. It was just a matter of luck that he encountered one.

After hearing this, Tian Baishun was extremely envious: "You are really taking advantage of me. This is a leopard."

"Haha, as long as you have hands." Lin Heng grinned and packed the things.

Tian Baishun's face was distorted by what he said: "You kid scolded me for being incompetent, right?"

"I won't tell you anymore. I'm going home to find a wife." Lin Heng said again, then left with his things on his back.

Tian Baishun felt like he had been stabbed in the heart again.

Damn it, this guy is so capable and has a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law. He himself is not bad looking. God is so partial.

"What's going on? Did he really hit him?" Seeing Lin Heng running away, Wang Qiang couldn't help but ask, very dissatisfied with Lin Heng being so petty.

"Of course, you have no idea how powerful the compound bow he is carrying can kill a golden rooster from a hundred meters." Old Man Tian nodded.

Looking at Wang Qiang, he is in a good mood again. This guy is even worse. He can't even see the clouded leopard.

"So fierce!" Wang Qiang's eyes widened.

Tian Baishun glanced at him: "Didn't I tell you before?"

"I thought you were bragging, so I didn't care." Wang Qiang smiled bitterly, looking hotly at the clouded leopard.

Especially I heard that it is a male, so the leopard whip used to make wine will definitely be a great tonic.

"You'll understand when you get the chance to see it." Tian Baishun shook his head.

On the other side, Lin Heng and his eldest brother had returned home, and his parents were already asleep.

"Just leave the things at your house. Anyway, I only caught one bamboo chicken." Lin Yue said with a smile. Although he didn't catch anything, he was really happy tonight.

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Lin Heng didn't refuse. It was indeed quite late now.

After returning home, Lin Heng took the key and opened the door to the front yard and walked into the yard. After a while, the door to the main room opened, and Xiulan walked out of the room.

"Didn't you say it was just on the roadside? Why did you run for so long?" Xiulan asked curiously.

"Just look at the harvest and you'll know." Lin Heng grinned, knowing that his wife was waiting for him.

He put the backpack on the ground and turned on the flashlight.

When Xiulan saw the things in the basket, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened wide: "Oh my God! There are so many things, and there is a leopard??"

"How did you hit a leopard?" She had never heard of anyone hitting such a thing before, and her husband must be too awesome.

"Isn't it awesome?" Lin Heng chuckled.

Xiulan nodded repeatedly, her expression was like that of a little fan girl, her eyes were shining: "Awesome, you are so awesome."

Lin Heng was so praised that he held his head high and was very happy: "It's a coincidence that I was thinking about you when I was absent-minded. I accidentally saw it on the tree, and then I shot it."

"Speak carefully and stop being glib." Xiulan rolled her eyes at him.

"It's true." Lin Heng said again.

Xiulan smiled and said: "That's awesome. I'll get you shoes and clothes, and you can pour water to take a bath yourself."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, took a wooden basin, poured water, and took off his clothes to take a shower.

Xiulan came over with clothes and shoes and said, "Why don't you close the door? What should I do if I catch a cold?"

Lin Heng waved his hand: "It's not cold tonight."

Xiulan closed the door and went to the kitchen with a flashlight to order Lin Heng a bowl of clear soup noodles and bring it over.

Lin Heng took a quick shower, Xiulan finished cooking, and Lin Heng had already finished washing for a while.

Although it was clear soup noodles, Xiulan not only added eggs to it, but also added two slices of black truffle.

Putting it on the table for Lin Heng, she held her chin in her hand and watched him eat.

"Open your mouth."

Lin Heng tore half of the omelette into pieces and fed it to her. One of them enjoyed the pleasure of feeding, and the other enjoyed the pleasure of being fed.

After finishing the omelette, Xiulan went to rinse her mouth. Lin Hengda ate the noodles happily and then brushed his teeth.

The leopards, golden pheasants, etc. will be dealt with tomorrow morning. If we deal with them now, we will have to work all night. The weather will not be bad if we leave them overnight.

The two went back to the bedroom together. Lin Heng went to check on his daughter first. She was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face.

He turned around and opened the cabinet, found a coconut milk-flavored White Rabbit toffee, opened it and handed it to Xiulan.

"I'm not a child, why did you give me candy?" Xiulan looked puzzled and helpless.

"No, mainly because I want to eat." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan was stunned and suddenly remembered the scene when Lin Heng gave her candy at noon that day. She blushed and said, "You are so bad."

"Good boy, eat it quickly." Lin Heng stuffed the candy into her mouth.

Xiulan looked at him and was forced to eat the candy.

Lin Heng grinned, and immediately took off his clothes and got into bed with his wife, eager to taste this coconut milk-flavored mouth.
