Chapter 182 Hunting 2

The "Si Bu Xiang" had been hit by two bullets in the head and fell to the ground, with only his four limbs still struggling, and it was obvious that he was dying.

After waiting for a few minutes and waiting for it to stop struggling, Zhang Xingwang directly put it into the space and called the two excited brothers back.

The two brothers thought the prey had disappeared and were still circling around looking for it. They looked unhappy even on their way back.

We walked a bit far today, and when the sun set, Zhang Xingwang had not returned to the camp yet.

At this time, sporadic snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the surrounding old forest felt increasingly silent, with the light seeming to be swallowed up by the tall trees.

It was pitch black all around. Two hunting dogs followed Zhang Xingwang, one in front and one behind, and they moved slowly forward with the faint light of flashlights. The atmosphere was filled with eerie and horror.

Zhang Xingwang was also very panicked at this moment. On the one hand, the carnivores came out to look for food at night, and on the other hand, he felt that the darkness around him was getting heavier and heavier.

What’s even more troublesome is that the snow is getting heavier and heavier. Large flakes of snow are floating on my face. Not only is my vision obstructed, but I can’t even open my eyes.

I had been planning to hunt for another day tomorrow and then go down the mountain and return to the village, but now it seems I have to change my plans.

Fortunately, he had these two brothers to accompany him and lead the way. If he had been alone, he would have gotten lost in the woods.

Looking at Wangcai who is leading the way in front, I feel that it is not walking in a straight line at the moment. It should be that the heavy snow has affected its sense of smell. I hope it can find the way back to the camp.

It was almost eight o'clock when we vaguely saw the familiar outline of the camp. Fortunately, the two dogs also sensed that the direction was wrong. Fugui, who was behind, also ran to the front and searched for the direction with Wangcai for a long time before they successfully returned to the camp.

After entering the camp, Zhang Xingwang held the door tightly without saying a word and started to make a fire. The firelight was much warmer than the light of a flashlight and dispelled the fear and coldness in his heart.

On the way back, the brothers' uneasiness was clearly felt. When they were almost there, they even barked demonstratively at Zhang Xingwang's back.

Recalling some hunting stories told by Sixth Brother, it was likely that a wild beast had followed them for a while.

Seeing the two brothers so tired that they were sticking out their tongues, Zhang Xingwang started to prepare dinner despite his tired body.

We have not rested much since dawn today. Even if you have a good physique, you can't stand such hard work.

After finishing dinner, Zhang Xingwang checked the door again and made sure it was blocked. Then he took out coal from the space and let the bonfire burn as long as possible.

Then they took off their coats and shoes and put them on the rack next to the fire to dry. Zhang Xingwang, who was exhausted, wrapped himself in a quilt and told the two brothers to go to bed.

It was unknown how long it had been before Zhang Xingwang shivered and woke up in a daze. The bonfire in the house had gone out, and the two dogs were curled up listlessly beside him, not calling him.

The light coming through the crack in the door indicated that it was already the second day. I stood up, stretched my muscles, and took a look outside through the crack in the door.

It was still snowing outside, but it was much lighter now. It seemed I needed to take a break today. I moved some dry firewood from the corner, lit a fire, heated a pot of snow water, washed myself, and started to eat breakfast with my two brothers.

The snow finally stopped at noon. After getting dressed, Zhang Xingwang went out and picked up some dry branches, preparing to dry them and use them for burning in the evening. The space was too small and there was not much coal, so it was not enough.

Not long after they collected the money, the two brothers suddenly ran towards the forest in the distance. Seeing this, Zhang Xingwang hurriedly chased after them.

The two brothers had now surrounded a rather ugly "deer" one in front and one behind. Zhang Xingwang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Fearing that they might hurt the two brothers by mistake, Zhang Xingwang ran forward for a while. "Xiaolu" then cried out anxiously and with a running start jumped out of the brothers' encirclement.

Then he quickly fled away. Zhang Xingwang stopped the two brothers from chasing him, looked at the distance, raised his hand and counted eight.

The "little deer" also fell to the ground. He struggled to stand up and ran a few steps before falling to the ground again. A pool of blood slowly seeped out on the ground.

Zhang Xingwang ran over to check and saw that a bullet hit his jaw and penetrated through, leaving a fist-sized wound.

He put the "little deer" into the space in front of the brothers' confused eyes, and then called the two brothers who were reluctant to leave to go back.

After lunch, Zhang Xingwang started a new round of dismemberment work. After dismembering the Sibu Xiang and the "little deer", he distributed the internal organs to the two brothers who had been waiting for a long time.

After checking the tidy space and wiping the sweat off my face, I decided to tidy it up in the afternoon.

After the two brothers outside finished their meal, he called them back, then closed the door and took a rest.

When I woke up, it was already dark. I looked at the time and it was already 8:30 in the evening. I quickly cleaned up the dying fire, added the last few pieces of coal, and prepared to have dinner.

After eating the offal at noon, the two brothers rested for a day. Now they obviously felt more energetic, wagging their tails at Zhang Xingwang affectionately, and seemed very satisfied with his previous feeding.

The next morning, Zhang Xingwang set out for his last day of hunting. Because it snowed again, his progress was even slower.

However, this time he planned to move towards the right. He had already hunted twice within the range of foot the day before, so there should be no prey.

Moreover, he planned to continue until noon today and return to the village before dark.

I don’t know if it was because of the snow, but along the way, I saw several traces of animal activities in the snow.

However, they all looked like small animals, so I didn't pay much attention to them. Until almost noon, I only caught a big brown bird like the one on the first day.

Just as Zhang Xingwang was lamenting his bad luck in the ravine and wondering whether he should continue to move up the mountain, a group of dark figures ran down the hillside in the distance and ran towards the mountains on the other side of the ravine.

The two dogs immediately ran towards the black shadows. Zhang Xingwang also started to chase them. After running two steps, he could see the appearance of the black shadows clearly. They should be a group of wild boars.

But he couldn't catch up with them at his speed, so he quickly found a place with a wider view, aimed at the herd of wild boars in the distance, and fired more than 20 bullets in succession.

It seemed that several bullets hit the wild boar, but Zhang Xingwang did not stop shooting.

He fired more than a dozen bullets in succession, and only when all the wild boars had climbed up the hillside and disappeared from his sight did he quickly chase after them.

The two dogs had already run down the hillside, barking wildly ahead. When Zhang Xingwang ran up to them, he saw two injured wild boars fallen on the hillside not far away.

One was hit in the thigh, and the other was hit in the spine. The blood from the wounds had dyed a large area of ​​snow red.
