Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 62 Lin Shen meets the deer

"Hegemony!!"

Lin Heng called softly along the way.

"Wang Wang!"

Suddenly, Xiongba came out of a forest in the distance and looked at Lin Heng without walking past.

"Did you find something?"

Lin Heng and Xiulan came over to check.

"Wang."

Xiong Ba turned around and walked forward, stopping in front of a "thorn ball".

"Hedgehog, what did I think?"

Lin Heng was a little disappointed. Hedgehogs were everywhere and of little value.

When you are walking at night and you hear a noise, you turn around and take a flashlight to look at it. It must be a hedgehog.

And this guy is so stupid. He doesn't run when he sees someone, but shrinks into a thorny ball. It's too easy to catch him.

"Come on, this thing is useless."

Lin Heng rubbed the bully's head and turned to leave.

The fungi were half-dried on the white stones, and since the sun had not yet set, the two of them were not in a hurry to clean them up.

Sitting on the rocks and observing both sides of the canyon, you can hear the crow of golden roosters one after another.

It’s just that the green leaves are so vast that it’s impossible to determine the specific location.

"Pack it up, let's hide, the prey is about to come out."

Lin Heng jumped off the stone, opened his hands and looked at Xiulan.

"it is good!"

Xiulan put her arms around Lin Heng's neck and was lifted off the stone by him. When he let go, she even kissed her.

"Pick up your things."

Xiulan was used to it. As long as no one was watching, Lin Heng could kiss him whenever he wanted, and she was quite happy with it.

The two of them packed up all the mushrooms. After drying them, they lost a lot of weight.

After packing their things, the two returned to the shelter along the river bank.

The edge of the creek is too conspicuous without any cover. Wild animals can see it from a distance and will definitely not go down.

It's different here in the shelter. Bushes, big trees, and weeds can all provide very good shelter.

Lin Heng stopped looking for mushrooms now and concentrated on hunting.

At about [-]:[-], a series of sharp screams suddenly came from the mountain:
  "Wow! Wow!!"

Lin Heng and Xiulan looked happy at the same time: "It's a muntjac!"

Muntjacs are a relatively common prey in the mountains. In Lin Heng's impression, their numbers are second only to wild boars and pig badgers.

"Listen first and see the specific location."

Lin Heng was not in a hurry. Muntjacs were more vigilant than pigs and badgers. Most of the time, rope traps were used to catch muntjacs.

"Wow! Wow!!"

The howling continued, getting closer and closer to the canyon.

"On the south slope."

Lin Heng was sure that the hillside where their shelter was located was just further downstream.

Good news for him, if on the north slope he would be easily spotted crossing the canyon.

"Xiulan, you stay here, Xiongba and I will go take a look."

Lin Heng said something and took Xiongba cautiously downstream.

On the way, Lin Heng made himself a straw hat to make it easier to disguise.

"Wow! Wow!!"

At this time, a muntjac call suddenly came from the northern hillside.

"Wow! Wow!!"

Suddenly, the muntjacs on the southern hillside became excited. It was obvious that they were a male and a female, and they were in heat and wanted to mate.

"This is a good opportunity."

Lin Hengxin said that with a knife on the head, the prey in heat will be even less vigilant.

If you are preoccupied with mating, you will become much less alert to the surrounding environment. After walking more than [-] meters, Lin Heng was sure that the sound of the muntjac was far away from him, so he found a secluded bush to hide.

Xiong Ba is also not far away.

There is no need to move around now, let's wait for the muntjac to appear.

What followed was a long wait. The two muntjacs lay in the canyon and barked for thirty or forty minutes before slowly approaching.

"Damn, hunting is really hard." Lin Heng thought to himself. He couldn't feel his legs anymore and had been squatting for an hour.

He couldn't understand how the male muntjac could tolerate it so much and didn't rush to ride it when he saw the female muntjac.

He once wanted to get up and touch it, but he told himself again and again that if he settled down, the probability of failure was very high.

Fortunately, he was a person who had lived his whole life and had enough concentration to clear away all the distracting thoughts in his heart. He changed his posture and waited quietly.

When the sun had completely set and only the last remaining light was left, Lin Heng finally saw the figure of the muntjac.

A tall yellow muntjac with smooth and soft fur and small horns stood in the grass and looked around from time to time.

Lin Heng estimated that this muntjac might weigh forty or fifty pounds. It was definitely a big prey.

This soft fur can be sold for one hundred and twenty-three for a large one, and fifty or sixty for a small one.

And this male muntjac is definitely an adult muntjac.

However, Lin Heng couldn't take action yet. The distance was more than [-] meters, so the action would inevitably fail.

But he was not in a hurry, his heart had completely calmed down, and he was waiting for the prey to slowly approach. He was just waiting, and it wanted to reproduce, so it was definitely more anxious than him.

"Wow! Wow!!"

The cry of the female muntjac came again from across the canyon.

"Wow!!"

Immediately, the male muntjac's eyes widened, and he lost all vigilance. He ran forward twenty or thirty meters and let out a howl.

The sky had completely darkened amidst their roars.

The female muntjac on the opposite bank was the first to appear on the edge of the river bed. The male muntjac also kept walking forward and soon passed Lin Heng's position.

More than thirty meters away but less than forty meters away from him, Lin Heng squatted in a very clever position, just south of the line between the two muntjac calls.

Lin Heng bowed his body and stood up slowly. He felt that the time had come. Male creatures are the most anxious before mating. He knew this very well.

At this time, the male muntjac was only thinking about reproducing offspring and how to capture the female muntjac, and its awareness of the surrounding environment had been reduced to the lowest point.

Pulling the bow and arrow, Lin Heng aimed at the muntjac's heart and lungs, paused for three seconds, and shot an arrow.

With a pop, the sharp arrow pierced the green leaves and plunged into the Muntjac's chest.

"Wow!!"

With a shrill scream, the male muntjac turned around and ran away. However, after running a few meters, he fell to the ground.

"Wang Wang!!"

Xiongba was the first to catch up and hold down the muntjac, biting its neck.

When Lin Heng came over, the muntjac was still coughing up blood, its eyes filled with desire for life and fear of Lin Heng.

Lin Heng shook his head, with a knife on his head. If it weren't for the mother muntjac, it would be very difficult for him to get so close.

After a while, the male muntjac died. Lin Heng reached out and closed its eyes, the joy on his face was beyond words.

"This big muntjac must weigh forty or fifty pounds!"

Lin Heng rubbed Xiongba's dog head and was ecstatic.

"Ow~"

Xiongba licked the blood of the deer, not wanting to respond to him, and kept slurping.

Lin Heng pulled out the arrow, and the arrow shot into the muntjac's chest from the side, killing his lungs and probably hurting his heart.

That's why it died so quickly.

Pulling out the arrow, blood gurgled out. Xiongba opened his mouth and drank wildly, and the entire dog's mouth was stained red.

"Pity!"

Lin Heng shook his head. If it was close to home, it would be delicious to collect the blood and make a prosperous blood.

When the blood was almost gone, Lin Heng picked up the muntjac and walked towards the shelter.

"Wang Wang!!"

Xiongba followed behind him, holding his head and chest high.
