Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 27
  “It’s very simple, we aim at the same time, and then I shout one, two, three and fire together.

Whatever I shoot down is mine, and whatever is on your arrow is yours. How about that? "

Tian Baishun looked at Lin Heng and whispered.

"If you don't agree, I will drive the grouse away and no one will be able to catch it."

Before Lin Heng could say anything, Old Man Tian added another sentence, the main thing is to be shameless.

"Old man Tian, ​​you are so shameless." My uncle couldn't help but cursed.

"So what? If you don't agree, I'll get rid of you." Tian Baishun is famous for being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

"Okay, just do as you say."

Lin Heng breathed out and nodded in agreement with Tian Baishun's proposal.

"Then come with me."

Tian Baishun glanced at Lin Heng and walked ahead with a gun in his hand.

Lin Heng followed behind with a bow and an arrow in his hand. After walking for more than ten meters, he saw a grouse resting on a pine tree.

There are four in total, resting on two branches respectively. Their feathers are blue-gray, and their legs and beaks are black.

None of the four have beautiful tail feathers, and they are all hen grouse.

"I'll hit the one on the left, you hit the one on the right."

Fifteen meters away from the grouse, Tian Baishun stopped and refused to let Lin Heng move forward.

After setting up the gun, Tian Baishun took out an artillery piece from his pocket and placed it on the ignition eye.

This artillery is similar to a fire starter. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger head on the shotgun will hit the artillery under the action of the spring.

This causes sparks to ignite the gunpowder in the barrel, and eventually the flame pushes the ball out, causing damage to the target.

"Three...bang..."

After counting to three, Tian Baishun fired with a bang. The red flames flew out wrapped in tiny ball bearings, drawing a beautiful scattered line of fire in the air.

At the same time, there was a violent sound.

"I rely on!!"

Lin Heng was startled by the sound, his hand trembled and he shot out the arrow.

"Gada Gada!!"

One grouse flew up in surprise, and the remaining three all rolled down the tree. Lin Heng's arrow hit the tree trunk accurately.

"Old man Tian, ​​you old guy doesn't have martial ethics!!"

Lin Heng turned his head and cursed angrily, Damn it, we agreed to launch it together, you will launch it when you shout two, right?
  "Hey, I said three, two, and one will be launched together, but I didn't say that they must count to one before they are launched together.

Young man, hunting is not that simple. Just go home and practice for two years before trying again. "

Tian Baishun chuckled and ran over to pick up the grouse shamelessly.

"Okay, okay, let's play like this!"

Lin Heng took out another arrow, and with a pop, the sharp arrow penetrated a dead grouse.

"What are you doing?" Tian Baishun turned around and asked.

"You said that whatever I hit with my arrow is mine, but you didn't say that I had 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 first." Lin Heng smiled and walked over to pick up a grouse.

Tian Baishun didn't dare to stop him. He was at fault in the first place, and now his gun was out of bullets, while Lin Heng still had a few arrows.

"Tian Baishun, you are so old, why are you like this?"

Uncle Lin Heng came over and cursed.

"Actually, my hand slipped, not on purpose." Tian Baishun chuckled.

Then he looked at Lin Heng: "Young man, I didn't see that you still have some ability. Are you interested in doing something big?"

"If I don't go, I'm afraid you'll shoot me in the dark."

Lin Heng refused ruthlessly.

"Hey, even though my old man has no children, he is not willing to do such a thing of exterminating his descendants."

Tian Baishun said roughly, as if it was a great insult to him. Lin Heng ignored him, pulled out the arrow, and left with Xiong Ba.

The two of them walked back directly. With that shot, all the prey on this mountain were scared away, and there was no need to look for them anymore.

This is also one of the disadvantages of shotguns, they make too much noise.

"Damn it, my ears are still ringing."

Lin Heng couldn't help but cursed again, this Tian Baishun is a real dog.

Xiongba: "Woof woof?"

"I didn't mention you, you are 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 a bow and arrow and wanted 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 tried his own slingshot again.

I didn't find any prey on the way back, not even a single squirrel, they were all obviously frightened.

But Lin Heng is already satisfied. Today's harvest is already very good.

"You go home, I'll help carry the two trees back."

When we reached the top of the mountain, my uncle took the slingshot and left.

Lin Heng didn't go. His whole body was sore today and he really didn't want to help.

I guess everyone won't mind if we have rabbit meat for dinner.

On the way home, Lin Heng took another road and saw several yellow thread fungi, also known as chanterelles, on the roadside.

Cai Lai was about to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of golden light from the corner of his eye.

"Huang Laitou!!"

He hurriedly ran over and cleared away the leaves. Three yellow heads stood tall and graceful, making people salivate at the sight.

The scientific name of Huang Laitou is Boletus corticata, also known as yellow beef liver, and it tastes extremely delicious.

Moreover, this mushroom can grow very large, reaching a height of more than ten centimeters, and the cap diameter can reach a maximum of more than ten centimeters.

It is very easy to identify. The cap looks like it is cracked, piece by piece, and has wrinkles.

The folds are all golden yellow, while other parts are brown.

The fungus meat is firm and delicious.

"Generally speaking, you have to wait half a month for this thing to produce mushrooms. I didn't expect to encounter it in advance."

Lin Heng was very happy. Huang Laitou was very big. One of them weighed more than three ounces, and the three together weighed almost a pound.

"Wang Woo!"

Xiongba leaned his head over and smelled it, looking at the mushroom curiously.

"You can eat it when you go home tonight." Lin Heng touched its head.

My family will definitely be reluctant to eat morels, but yellow ones will be fine.

It's delicious and plentiful. The most important thing is that the purchase price is not expensive, only [-] cents per pound.

Because porcini mushrooms don’t taste very good after being dried, unlike morels, which don’t lose their flavor after being dried.

After collecting the three yellow flowers, Lin Heng took Xiong Ba back home.

When I came back, the uncle of the Wang family was still working in the fields.

When he heard the dog barking, he looked up and saw that it was Lin Heng, with a gloating smile on his face: "The 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 to hunt. Just go home and work peacefully. "

"Are you referring to this?" Lin Heng took out a rabbit from his backpack and asked pretending to be confused.

I didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but it was annoying that this uncle always liked to use his shallow experience to teach others how to do things.

Uncle Wang's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "Did you really hit this?"

"I picked it up. I don't have the skills to hunt." Lin Heng smiled and put the rabbit away.

Watching Lin Heng leave with the dog, Uncle Wang's head was buzzing. This second-rate guy actually knows how to hunt?
  Still using bows and arrows? Is this still the same second-rate guy who didn't do his job properly?
  "No, maybe he really picked it up. If he had been beaten, he wouldn't have held it up to show off."

In the end, after deep thinking, Uncle Wang came to a conclusion that he could accept.
