Chapter 41

~8 min read 1,537 words

The heart, liver, and lungs of the small roe deer were very tender and cooked easily.

Wang An broke off four straight branches and handed two to his uncle-in-law to use as chopsticks!

Don't say, in these uninhabited mountains, eating freshly boiled heart, liver, and lungs really had a special flavor!

Spicy, warm, and satisfying!

It was just that Wang An was in a dilemma when drinking the soup!

No bowl!!

He saw Feng Chengmin unhurriedly pick up his knife and walk to a linden tree.

He made a horizontal cut in a circle, moved the knife up, and made another horizontal cut.

He made a vertical cut between the two circles, pried with the tip of the knife, and tore it with his hand; a piece of linden bark came off.

He went to another linden tree, performed the same operation, and got another piece of linden bark.

Wang An knew that peeling the linden tree like this wouldn't kill it!

After spring came, it would continue to grow new bark; this was also the unique awesomeness of the linden tree!

Linden bark was very flexible, just like thick kraft paper.

Use the knife to cut the bark into a square as much as possible.

Fold the four sides up, fold the overlapping parts at the four corners vertically, and then use the tip of the knife to poke a hole in the excess part!

Insert a thin branch to fix it.

A flat-bottomed square bark box was completed!

Wang An almost dropped his jaw!

Could you play like this!! Learned another trick!

Mm, using this thing as a bowl was really quite easy to use!

It didn't leak, not at all!

No matter what, this spicy soup was really delicious!!

Seasonings or whatever, whether they were there or not didn't have much impact.

After the two were full, Wang An brushed the pot well with snow.

He covered the fire with snow, and the two drove the sled and continued to wander in the deep mountains!

But it wasn't the aimless wandering like Wang An's original one; Wang An was looking for prey tracks.

Tracking was just a matter of practice makes perfect!

Seeing more, and having someone teach you from the side, any normal person who wanted to learn could learn it very quickly!

After less than an hour, Wang An and Feng Chengmin both wanted to call the big stallion to stop at the same time.

"What's wrong? You found it too?" Feng Chengmin asked Wang An with a smile.

"Mm-hmm, look at these hoof prints, they should be three wild boars, one big and two small!" Wang An replied with a smile.

"Haha, not bad, that's right. Let's see if the big one is a boar or a sow?" Feng Chengmin said.

"Can you tell the male from the female from these hoof prints?" Wang An asked in confusion.

"Why not! You can tell for animals with cloven hooves like this!" Feng Chengmin said.

"Really?" Wang An examined them for a long time, feeling they were all the same.

Feng Chengmin smiled: "For female animals, the hind hoof prints are separated."

Wang An discovered that the big hoof prints were indeed separated.

He asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Feng Chengmin said: "Because it's pregnant and its belly is heavy, the hind legs are under a lot of pressure, so the hooves are pressed open!"

Wang An nodded as if he understood, but Feng Chengmin's explanation for why the hooves were separated might be wrong, but it was true that the female animal's hoof prints were separated!

The two drove the sled and chased after the hoof prints.

Wild boar hoof prints were much easier to identify than roe deer hoof prints!

Because roe deer were relatively light, the prints were relatively shallow.

And to be a sow, and still carrying piglets, the weight was over 200 catties!

The hoof prints were very easy to identify, just follow the prints and run.

It hadn't entered deep winter yet, and the wild boars hadn't consumed much of their fat.

A normal sow's weight had to be over 250 catties, and by the time spring came, the wild boar's fat would basically be gone, leaving only 200-plus catties.

A pig's speed was much faster than a human's, but it couldn't outrun most animals.

The horse pulling the sled, if it weren't for the difficult mountain roads and occasional dense trees.

Chasing pigs would be like playing.

This time it was against the wind, no need to detour.

Sitting on the sled, they saw three wild boars from a long distance away, under a hazel tree, seemingly rooting for hazelnuts to eat.

The two tied the big stallion and had to approach slowly.

Because Feng Chengmin said that wild boars would just keep running once startled, and the endurance of wild boars was quite awesome; they wouldn't stop until they were hungry and panicked, with no strength left.

Therefore, in order not to have to chase pigs desperately, they had to approach quietly.

After approaching, try to kill them with one shot, otherwise, if you only wound the wild boar.

The wild boar would either hurt people or keep running, keep running, until the wild boar thought it was safe, then it would stop!

Whether it lived or died depended on the wild boar's injuries.

If it was too severely injured, it would lie down for a while and die; if it wasn't severely injured, it would become a "gun-leaker," and trying to hunt this pig next time would be quite difficult!

Because a wild boar's sense of smell was much, much stronger than a hunting dog's.

You'd have a hard time even seeing its shadow! Trying to hunt it would be even harder!

After hearing this, Wang An was quite shocked! This wild boar was too mysterious!

But Wang An believed it completely; as an experienced hunter, Feng Chengmin knew far too many things!

It could be said that Feng Chengmin understood the habits of most of the animals in these mountains!

Approaching the wild boars to about 100 meters, the two, like hunting roe deer, all raised their guns to their faces.

Feng Chengmin was worried about Wang An's marksmanship, so he would take the sow, and Wang An could take either of the two 130-140 catty yellow-haired ones.

Wang An could take whichever he wanted, and they would see about the remaining one.

But accidents always come unexpectedly.

Before Feng Chengmin could finish counting, he saw the sow raise its head and sniff.

Without even hesitating, it ran away directly!

That instant acceleration was still quite fast, and the two yellow-haired ones didn't even know what was going on!

Then "bang" "bang" "bang" three gunshots were heard.

One of the two yellow-haired ones fell to the ground, and the other ran a few steps and also fell to the ground.

Only the sow ran away.

"Bang," another gunshot, followed by another "bang"!

About 140-150 meters away, the big sow was dragging its two hind legs, still crawling forward.

Language couldn't keep up with the speed of events.

"Good boy! Your marksmanship is simply divine! Hahaha," Feng Chengmin shouted while laughing excitedly.

About 100 meters was the best distance to fire.

If it was close, the wild animals would smell the special human scent and the gunpowder smell of the gun, and run away directly.

If it was far, the difficulty of hitting would increase several times, and the gun wouldn't be very accurate, and most of the shots would just wound the wild animal.

You have to know that the vitality of wild animals was quite tenacious, and if they ran away, you couldn't catch up!

And the situation at this time was that the sow smelled the scent, suddenly ran, and Feng Chengmin, who was aiming at the sow, didn't hit the head.

He only wounded the sow, which didn't delay the sow from continuing to run wildly.

And Wang An's two shots had killed both yellow-haired ones.

The 4th shot was fired by Feng Chengmin, because when the wild boar ran, it only showed its butt and two hind legs.

Feng Chengmin could only aim at the legs, and he hit, but the sow could still run if only one leg was injured.

So the 5th shot was fired by Wang An, hitting the other hind leg.

Both hind legs were crippled, and this sow, in order to survive, could only crawl forward with its two front legs.

But no matter how well it could crawl, how fast could it be?

This kind of coordination, crippling the wild boar that was about to run away so it couldn't run!

That sense of success was even more satisfying than completing a sniper shot alone!

So Feng Chengmin was very excited, quite exhilarated, just like he had eaten something crazy!

After shouting, Feng Chengmin "whooshed" and, shouting "ow-ow," rushed toward the sow!

That rush was really fast! He had really eaten something crazy!

Wang An, a 1.8-meter-tall, 19-year-old young man, actually didn't catch up!

Please follow, please follow, please follow!!

Relatives who have tickets, throw them all at me! Throw them hard!
