Chapter 40

The two carried their guns and took a big detour before slowly approaching the roe deer.

On the way, Feng Chengmin kept telling Wang An how to hunt by tracking.

This kind of entering the mountains without dogs, only carrying guns, was called hunting by tracking.

And the basic requirement for hunting by tracking was knowing how to pinch tracks, which was finding prey!

If you can't even find the prey, what kind of hunting are you doing!

When Wang An talked about his previous "bumping into" prey, Feng Chengmin laughed out loud after hearing it.

After laughing, he praised Wang An, because relying on "bumping into" prey, Wang An's harvest was indeed quite good!

Especially when hearing about the process of Wang An and Li Biao hunting wild boars, Feng Chengmin became solemn; as an experienced hunter, Feng Chengmin knew the danger all too well!

And he told Wang An that the hunters in the nearby villages all knew about that wild boar forest!

It was also a place Feng Chengmin was going to take Wang An to see in a few days, because the wild boars were about to leave their nests!

He didn't expect Wang An to dare to drill in there with a fool!

At this time of year, unless a few hunters with ruthless techniques and hard equipment gather together, it's best not to enter the wild boar forest.

Wild boars protecting their nests are dozens of times more dangerous than usual! Feng Chengmin and the others didn't want to provoke wild boar groups at this time of year; it really wasn't worth it!

Wang An recalled the process; that wild boar was indeed abnormal. It had clearly run away, but it had come back!

Feng Chengmin told Wang An that as long as a hunter learned all the tracking techniques, they could be considered a qualified hunter!

When the two were about 200 meters away from the four roe deer, they slowed their pace simultaneously and approached the roe deer quietly.

When they were about 100 meters away, they both stopped, raised their guns to their faces!

Feng Chengmin whispered to Wang An: "You take the big one and the small one on the left, I'll take the ones on the right. I'll count to three, and we'll fire at the same time!"

Wang An agreed in a low voice!

Feng Chengmin used an SKS, which was also semi-automatic, a very old gun, but it was maintained quite well!

The SKS was modeled after this gun, but the SKS had a triangular bayonet, while the SKS had a blade-type bayonet.

Except for the bayonet, the appearance and performance were basically exactly the same!

Only two "bang" "bang" gunshots were heard; the two fired almost simultaneously, and the four gunshots turned into two.

The four roe deer in the distance, two big and two small, hadn't even reacted yet! They all fell to the ground!

The two walked toward the four roe deer unhurriedly.

"Uncle-in-law, your marksmanship is really awesome!" Wang An complimented with a smile.

"Well, we both hit them, does that mean you're more awesome than me? You've been touching guns for a few days, and I've been playing with guns for how many years?" Feng Chengmin glared at Wang An and said.

"However, your marksmanship really wasn't bragging; many old guys might not be able to beat you!" Feng Chengmin sighed again.

"Hehe, as long as I didn't lose face for you, uncle-in-law!" Wang An started to act cocky.

"Then you tell me, why do those matchmakers give me a cold shoulder when they mention you? I'm puzzled!" Feng Chengmin pretended to be puzzled again.

Wang An: "..."

He really didn't know how to chat! And it was endless!

Seeing Wang An deflated again, Feng Chengmin laughed happily!

Seeing Feng Chengmin take out his knife, Wang An immediately took his out too; he wouldn't dare let Feng Chengmin do the work while he just watched!

Both used their knives to bleed the roe deer. After Wang An finished bleeding them, he saw Feng Chengmin was disemboweling the roe deer!

Fine, let's do it!

Even in the freezing cold, it had to be done!

Feng Chengmin finished disemboweling the two roe deer, hung the intestines on a tree, put the heart, liver, and lungs back into the cavity, and filled the cavity directly with snow!

After finishing, he turned his head and found that Wang An hadn't even finished fiddling with one roe deer!

He didn't help, washed his hands with snow, rolled a cigarette on the side, and while smoking, watched Wang An disembowel the roe deer with a smile!

After watching for a while, he started to tease him happily!

"What are you doing?"

"Your hands aren't even as nimble as someone's feet!"

"Oh my god! This work, just looking at it makes people angry!"

"I said why the matchmaker gave me a cold shoulder!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... how did that girl from the Mu family take a fancy to you?"

"If it were my daughter, I wouldn't do it even if I were beaten to death, tsk tsk...!"

"If I were the matchmaker, I'd give a cold shoulder too!"

Wang An was a bit speechless at first; what kind of hobby did this uncle-in-law have? He just liked to expose people's shortcomings!

It wasn't until Feng Chengmin mentioned "the matchmaker giving a cold shoulder" several times that Wang An suddenly understood!

He had been insulted by the matchmaker! He had lost face because of him!

With the strength of the three Feng Chengmin brothers, their right to speak in the village definitely wasn't low!

In this era, families with many brothers were quite fierce, and no one cared if they fought!

Even if they reported it to the police, the police would just persuade them and let it go. Most of the time, they wouldn't care, and would even scold the person who reported it!

Therefore, in this era, whether the right to speak was heavy or not was basically determined by the number of men in the family!

And the three Feng Chengmin brothers were hunters with guns! Feng Chengmin's uncles' families also had sons!

This big group of uncles and brothers!

They had guns and people!

Who in the village could they be afraid of?

However, Feng Chengmin, such an awesome figure in the village, had actually fallen at the hands of a matchmaker!

His face had been thrown on the ground and then trampled into pieces!

Could Feng Chengmin take this!

But this kind of thing, no matter how awesome you are, would you dare to snatch someone?

Who told your nephew to have bad character!

So Feng Chengmin could only take it, with no other choice!

But after all, he was his wife's nephew, so he still had to give him some face.

Besides, after getting in touch, he felt that this wife's nephew was actually quite good!

He couldn't beat or scold him, so if he wanted to vent his anger, he couldn't stand seeing Wang An act cocky, and could only make Wang An feel deflated to feel happy inside!

Thinking of this, Wang An laughed instead!

On one hand, his uncle-in-law had indeed taken his business seriously!

On the other hand, he also found it funny that his uncle-in-law was brooding over losing face!

But after a long time, it would be fine. He could tease him however he wanted; if he ignored him, he would feel it was boring, and his anger would dissipate!

Finally, Wang An finished processing the two roe deer.

He said to Feng Chengmin with a smile: "Uncle-in-law, you sit for a while, I'll go drive the sled!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Feng Chengmin looked at Wang An's back and was also puzzled. This wife's nephew, no matter how he teased him, he just smiled, neither angry nor annoyed!

This temperament was truly quite good!

And he felt more and more that teasing his wife's nephew was becoming uninteresting!

Wang An drove the sled back, and looking at the sun, it was almost noon.

So he asked: "Uncle-in-law, what's the plan next? Eat something? Or what?"

Feng Chengmin also looked up at the sun: "Let's eat something, and then go for another round!"

The two drove the sled to find a sheltered mountain hollow, picked up branches, and built two fires.

Wang An's small pot also came in handy; he filled it with a heaping pot of snow and found two stones to support the pot!

Suddenly, he discovered that this small pot should have a rack, the kind that could be folded! That way, it would be convenient to roast something around it!

Mm, can't forget this!

Feng Chengmin was already cutting the roe deer meat, cutting it into thin slices, dipping it in the salt he brought from home, and then skewering it with sharpened branches.

He stuck them around the other fire; looking at his proficiency, he must have eaten like this quite often!

Wang An also took out the chili powder he had wrapped in paper and hadn't had a chance to use!

In a short while, the thin meat slices were cooked, and the heaping snow had turned into half a pot of water, basically enough.

Wang An cut the heart, liver, and lungs of the two small roe deer into thick slices with his knife and threw them into the pot.

He pinched a big pinch of coarse salt and threw it into the pot, then threw in a few dried chilies and covered it with the lid.

This lid was made of millet stalks, a small lid woven with thin hemp rope!

He also cut the cornmeal cakes he took in the morning into slightly thinner slices and threw them on the lid!

He added a few thick branches to the fire and went to enjoy the delicious roasted meat!

This roasted meat had no oil and no seasonings, only salt and chili powder, but in these deep mountains, it was also quite delicious!
