Chapter 71

All the meat brought from the bottom of the mountain was wiped out. Eating meat is just like driving a train, once you get on the track, you can't break the train easily.

For three days in a row, Yan Sen's mouth was fed with meat, chicken soup, and barbecued wings. On the fourth day, when there was no meat, his mouth was bland, and everything he ate had no flavor, and he didn't even have the strength to go out to work.

Seeing this, Qin Li in the side of the wind, "Why don't we go to the chicken coop to catch a chicken roasted to eat?"

Yan Sen shook his head, the principle should be observed, "The hen has to lay eggs, and the hen meat is too old and not tasty."

Seeing her face disappointed, Yan Sen added, "Let's go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. With luck, there might be mountain chickens."

Qin Li let out a sigh of relief, looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally waiting for this day.

Yan Sen said, "If you want to hunt, you have to hurry in the morning and not in the evening. Wild animals are very smart and will only come out of their nests in the early morning."

Qin Li is curious and asks, "How do you know?"

Yan Sen, "I've observed it."

Qin Li, "How can you observe? Do you stay in the forest all night without sleeping?"

Yan Sen, "I've installed a night shooter in the forest, and then observed, that the frequency of animals appearing is greatest between one and five in the morning."

Qin Li sighed darkly, but it was professional!

"Then did you capture anything strange?"

Yan Sen asks, "What?"

Qin Li spits out his tongue, "Like ghosts."

Yan Sen says, "I don't know if it's a ghost, but I did encounter something strange once or twice."

Hearing him say this, Qin Li instantly became energized, urging, "Quickly tell me to listen."

Yan Sen said, "Once I captured a wisp of white smoke that slowly rose from the lower left corner of the camera to the upper right corner, and that shape looked like a dragon."

Something like a dragon is too metaphysical, Qin Li asks, "Could it be a spider's web?"

Yan Sen shrugs his shoulders, "Maybe."

Qin Li, "What else?"

Yan Sen was pushed by her, so he had to continue, "Another time, I fixed the camera to a tree stump, but when I was shooting, I realized that the lens was moving by itself. It moved at an angle of forty degrees from left to right. When I went to check the next day, there were no animal traces left on the stump, and to this day, I haven't figured out how the camera moved."

Qin Li's back went cold, "This is a little scary."

Yan Sen said, "There are many secrets in nature that need to be explored."

Qin Li nodded, "Then aren't you afraid of living alone in the mountains? Especially with ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night and such."

Yan Sen has a calm face, "There's nothing to be afraid of. I don't believe in the theory of gods and ghosts."

Seeing that she was in high spirits and still wanted to chat, Yan Sen blew out the candle with a huff and said, "Wake up early tomorrow, go to bed early."

Just like that, Qin Li had to fall asleep in a curious and excited mood.

***

Early the next morning, the sky just dawned and the sun had not yet revealed the mountains, the two were fully loaded and ready to go.

Yan Sen put on his hunting clothes and combed his hair into a big back, then with bullets and carrying a gun, he advanced toward the woods with great strides.

He looks like a ... ghost who is ready to go to the battlefield.

The more I look at it, the more I feel like it, Qin Li was amused by her brain, and couldn't help but laugh out with a hahaha.

Yan Sen glared back at her stretched out his finger in front of his lips and shushed her, telling her not to make a sound.

Seeing this, Qin Li hurriedly covered her mouth, picked up Xiao Hei, and took three steps to follow.

There are two ways to hunt, one is tracking, and the other is quiet trapping. The first, as the name suggests, is to keep walking in the mountains and forests, looking for traces of animals. It was usually the hounds that smelled the scent and drove the prey out of the den, and then the hunter would fight. However, based on Xiao Hei's piss-poor nature that was born to drag his feet, this method was not feasible. Yan Sen decisively adopted the second kind.

The second method was relatively simple, that is, to nestle in the watchtower of the mountain forest and wait for the beasts to appear.

The watchtower was built by Yan Sen himself with wood, it was a very simple small wooden hut, about five or six meters high from the ground. It was climbed up through several flights of steps. There was only one bench inside the wooden hut, just enough to sit two people.

Qin Li sighed, Yan Sen's hands-on ability is really strong, definitely belongs to the end of the world to come, others are all dead, but he is still alive kind of.

Thought hunting was fun, but came to realize that it's not that at all. The two couldn't talk, they could only communicate with their eyes, and most of the communication was like this.

Qin Li squeezed his eyes, did an animal come?

Yan Sen shook his head, not yet.

Qin Li stared wide-eyed, how much longer do we have to wait?

Yan Sen still shook his head, do not know.

The sun has not yet risen, the whole forest is hazy, although not dark, but visibility is not high.

Woke up too early in the morning, the old staring at the front was too hurtful, not long, she was tired.

Seeing her listlessly swaying left and right, Yan Sen patted his shoulder and said, "Lend you a little lean."

Dryly waiting was boring, so Qin Li cocked her head and dozed off.

Qin Li dreamed that he bumped into a large boar and just wanted to draw his gun.

The dream was being colorful, when a sharp barking of a dog suddenly came to his ears, followed by the sound of a gun barrel firing.

Woof woof woof!

Bang bang bang!

Qin Li's head sank downward, and he was instantly awakened, "Where where? Where are the boars?"

Yan Sen didn't have time to answer her, got up, and ran down below, even Xiao Hei was hyper and jumped off her knees, rolling and falling to the ground. Following Yan Sen's footsteps, he ran and screamed at the same time, shocking the sky and the earth.

By this time, the sky was already fully lit, and the sunlight was a bit blinding. Qin Li blocked his face and peeked out, only to see a pile of black shadows on the ground in the distance.

Yan Sen seemed to have hit something with that shot just now, and Qin Li's heart leaped with a leap of joy.

She was stuffed with curiosity and was eager to know exactly what kind of animal was so unlucky as to receive a bullet early in the morning. So, she hurriedly turned around and drilled out of the observation deck, running towards Yan Sen in three steps.

Yan Sen was squatting on the ground checking out his prey, and Xiao Hei had stopped barking and was jumping around, wagging his tail in excitement.

Qin Li ran to his side in a breath and gathered his head to take a look. A pile of fur on the ground, colorful, and could not see it all at once, so he asked, "What did you hit?"

Yan Sen picked up the prey, and only then did Qin Li see that it was a mountain chicken.

The bullet did not know where it hit, the blood did not flow much, it was the crooked neck chicken dead, looking a little shocked.

Yan Sen slightly cleaned up, the prey into the bag, two people and a dog back to the lookout.

At this moment, Qin Li is not sleepy and opens their eyes to observe the surroundings.

Not long after, not far from the grass came several wild rabbits, their fur was brown, especially conspicuous in the grass. Maybe it is because there is no natural enemy here, they are not as vigilant as the ones under the mountain, squatting on the ground and eating weeds with certainty.

Yan Sen raised his gun and made an aiming motion, but did not rush to shoot.

Qin Li was a bit impatient and lowered his voice beside him to urge, "Why don't you shoot? Shoot quickly!"

Yan Sen saw her eyes saving on the gun, so he asked, "Do you want to try the feeling of shooting?"

Qin Li was a little scared and a little curious, and after some internal struggle, curiosity finally overcame fear.

Yan Sen carefully explained the rules of use before carefully handing the gun over to her.

The shotgun was not very heavy, it was just very long, at least a meter or so.

It was the first time Qin Li had ever touched a gun when she was growing up, and it felt strange, with a sense of being on the verge of going to fight zombies and conquering the world.

Setting the stock of the gun on his shoulder, then aiming at the rabbit on the grass, his index finger on the wrench, everything was ready.

"I'm going to shoot."

Jensen had.

Qin Li pulled the trigger, she was prepared for a loud bang, but to her surprise, there was still silence everywhere, nothing happened.

What's going on?

Qin Li turned his head to look at Yan Sen.

Yan Sen's chest seems to have predicted, the chest of a smile, pulled out a bullet from his pocket. She immediately reacted to the fact that there was no shell in the original chamber.

The shotgun was a World War II-era Mauser rifle, so it was loaded once, and there were only five rounds in total. Qin Li reached out to get the bullet, but she didn't want to, Yan Sen's hand retracted, allowing her to pounce.

"Two requirements, one, no pointing the gun at people. Two, be careful not to rub the gun."

Qin Li immediately nodded.

Yan Sen helped her load the bullets into the gun's chamber, then, pulled the lever to load the gun.

Thinking that this shot would go down and kill people and animals, Qin Li was both a little panicked and a little cool.

After aiming for half a day, she finally pulled the trigger at Yan Sen's command.

Due to the strong inertia, the rear butt of the gun bounced heavily on her shoulder, so powerful that her bones hurt.

So this was what it felt like to shoot a gun!

With a bang, the bullet was ejected, the gunpowder bursting with a loud sound, startling the birds and animals.

Qin Li couldn't see the reason for this for a while, so he turned his head to look at Yan Sen and asked, "Did I hit anything?"

Yan Sen nodded, "Yes."

No way! This can also hit? Qin Li asks with excitement in his tone, "What did I hit?"

Yan Sen replied seriously, "Air."

Crap! Qin Li's face instantly collapsed.

Later, she realized that hunting, like fishing, required patience in addition to skill and luck. You have to be calm and wait for the prey to enter the hunting circle and drop your guard before you can shoot. Like rabbits and pheasants, if you miss a shot, it will be difficult to hit the second shot, because when you pull the gun and load the gun, they will have run away without a trace.

Wild deer are large and relatively easy to recognize, but to kill with a single shot is also technical work.

The two of them had spent the day on the lookout and had only shot one pheasant, after which they had caught nothing. In addition to chickens, there is also Blackie caught a hamster, however, this stupid dog is used to eating cooked meat, not as a hamster as a gourmet meal, but as a toy. The hamster was thrown up and down in his mouth, and when it fell to the ground and didn't run a few steps, it was taken back by Blackie. In the end, the poor hamster died of a heart attack, or dead.

By one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was in full swing, the animals were not only killed but also dried up, and they all ran back to their holes to avoid the summer heat.

Hunting can be addictive, especially waiting for the moment when the prey comes into sight, it's tense and exciting at the same time.

Although we didn't return home fully loaded, we did have some harvests, a pheasant and a rabbit.

Pheasants are good to deal with when they are killed, rabbits are harder, still alive. As for how it was caught, it's funny to say.

Black went to plow the hamster hole and suddenly scurried out a small wild rabbit, Black immediately threw the hamster, and turned back to chase the wild rabbit.

The hare was chased by Blackie anxious, and panicked, and then hit a tree stump, and knocked himself out.

Qin Li is looking stupid, grew up so big to know, that the original wait for the Rabbit is not a legend, the world has such a stupid rabbit.

Yan Sen said, that because the rabbit's vision has a blind spot, coupled with running not to see the road, so often hits the obstacle.

Back home, knocked out the rabbit has woken up, and is in the bag revolution, east and west with the head hitting the bag.

Yan Sen reached in and tried to catch it, but who knows, this ferocious rabbit opened its mouth and bit.

Rabbits indeed bite when they are anxious, and it's not wrong at all.

Qin Li did not dare to kill, and could only watch with bated breath as Yan Sen stabbed the rabbit in the heart, amitabha, sin sin sin.

"Poor little rabbit, don't ever be a rabbit in your next life." She changed her words and asked, "I wonder what rabbit meat tastes like, have you ever eaten it?"

Yan Sen thought it was funny, the first sentence was still chattering about how tragic the rabbit's death was, and the second sentence was how the flavor tasted to eat, it was a perfect harmony before and after!

Yan Sen said, "It's similar to chicken."

Qin Li said, "How do you eat rabbit? I've never eaten it before, it's not popular to eat rabbit in our place."

Yan Sen, "The easiest thing is to rub some salt on it and roast it."

Qin Li said, "The rabbit doesn't look very big, only the limbs have some meat on them, so if it's roasted, the meat will be burnt before the flavor comes out".

Yan Sen asked, "What about the mountain chicken? Do you want to stew it?"

Qin Li was just about to answer yes, when an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and hurriedly said, "You keep the chicken feathers, just open a slit and dig out the innards!"

Yan Sen was puzzled, "What do you need chicken feathers for?"

Qin Li, "I'm going to make a traditional Chinese food for you to eat."

Yan Sen was even more curious, what kind of food needs to keep the feathers?

Who knows, Qin Li also sells a secret, hanging on to his appetite just won't say. She winked and said, "You'll know in a moment."
