Chapter 351 Snow Hunting
When the shopkeeper Wang asked about today's business, he said coldly, "No, one is a senior sister and the other is like a senior sister. He came to buy two bundles of wax and stuffed a handful of money for a total of 43 cents. In the afternoon, Brother Sun came to help the hunter brothers. Fatty Zhang's foot was Spruled. I gave him some ointment, but unexpectedly Brother Sun insisted on giving the shopkeeper a sun chicken and a fish.
Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "Oh? Where's Jingjing?"
"Watching fish in the kitchen."
As soon as the shopkeeper Wang pushed the kitchen door, Jingjing looked up and saw that Grandpa was back. She asked Grandpa to hug him and said, "What delicious food did Grandpa bring to Jingjing?"
Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "Look, what is this?"
After saying that, it was like a trick. His hands spread out, but there was a small crystal clear jade plate inside. Manager Wang said, "Jingjing, it's not food, but fun. Come on, I'll put it on Jingjing."
Jingjing shook her head and said, "No, I don't wear stones, and my neck is cold."
The shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "This is not an ordinary stone. It was brought back from your mother's house by Aunt Wu's daughter. Seeing me drinking with Lao Wu, I specially brought it to you. Do you think it looks good?"
Jingjing nodded, and the shopkeeper Wang said, "Come on, grandpa will bring it to Jingjing and make sure it won't be cold to his neck."
After saying that, he turned around and said, "Brother Xin, let's cook fish tonight."
Jingjing said hurriedly, "No, Jingjing wants to see the fish."
Shopkeeper Wang said, "Oh, hehe, we don't eat fish. We eat roast chicken at noon, and let's stew with mutton in the evening."
He smiled coldly and said, "Okay!" Anyway, if you don't know how to cook, you can eat whatever you want, and you don't have to do it yourself.
The night is boring and long, especially the north wind roaring outside the window, and the snow hitting the screen window, which shows the tranquility and loneliness of the frozen village. Sitting around the stove, but the cabin is full of warmth.
Hanbingmen, it seems that entering the Hanbingmen is the most desirable thing. It is rumored to be a mysterious sect in the world. It turns out that you can see beautiful women in this snowy country. It is also very interesting to think about it. You often look forward to these at night, so you fall asleep quickly.
For several days, either cold and unintentionally sitting at the counter, or the shopkeeper himself. Whenever the shopkeeper sits at the counter, cold and unintentionally encounters sunny and warm weather, at least when it doesn't snow, he will always take Jingjing out to play, and sometimes he will walk around outside the village.
Leng Wuxin gradually became familiar with the people in the village. From time to time, they looked here and chatted there. They saw how Xu Blacksmith made iron. They also went to Aunt Zhou's small restaurant to buy wine and vegetables, and Hua Bochun and other young hunters went hunting together.
coldly and unintentionally secretly said that hunting is the only way to survive in the snowy country of the earth. Now it is cold in late October. If you want to have something to eat, you have to hunt.
Leng Wuxin has never revealed shocking martial arts spells to anyone. Since he left Fang Wuqing, he has long been tired of the world.
The days when you are not in the world are also free, and people in the world have always been involuntarily, and it is also good to enjoy a few days of leisure.
When he went hunting on this day, Leng Wuxin also carried a bow and arrow on his back and stepped on a long knife. Everyone laughed and said, "Brother Xin, we all carry long guns and steel forks. Why do you carry a knife?"
Leng Wuxin has always used no blades. I wanted to go with everyone empty-handed, but I saw that everyone was carrying a guy, and I also picked up light belts. Bows and arrows were inevitable. The long guy was too clumsy, so I simply chose a knife. Leng Wuxin smiled and said, "I am small in strength and can't dance long weapons. When I see the beast, I have to stab them with a knife, and I can still chop and cut them. "
Everyone laughed and said, "Well, Brother Xin's weapon can really make up for the lack of long guns and forks."
Although the frozen village was sunny after the snow, it was still ice and snow. Everyone sat on two sleds. They felt that the sled was very fresh. The horse-drawn sled was not tired and the people were not bumpy. Looking back, the village was getting farther and farther away and smaller.
I only walked six or seven miles away before I saw some pine forests. After walking, the forest became denser and asked Sun Sheng coldly, "Brother Sun, will there be any prey on such a cold day?"
Sun Sheng smiled and said, "Of course, beasts are also very hungry. Now they set traps, and they are the easiest to take the bait."
said coldly, "Will there be a wolf, jackal, tiger and leopard?"
Sun Sheng nodded: "Well, yes! So we need to go hunting together. We can't disperse, especially at night. There will be snow wolves.
"Snow Wolf? Is it a snow-white wolf with hair all over?
Sun Sheng smiled and said, "Although it is not as white as snow, it is light after all. Have you seen the river by the roadside?"
said coldly, "Oh! I saw that the river did not freeze. It seemed that some slow river surface froze. Brother Zhang slipped on this river the day before yesterday?
Sun Sheng said, "Well, some places are thick with ice, and most places are covered with thin ice, and there is snow flowing in the middle. This river will lead to a lake in the forest, which is called Snow Wolf Lake."
"Snow Wolf Lake?"
Hua Bochun smiled and said, "Brother Xin rarely has time to hunt. Brother Sun, don't scare him with Snow Wolf Lake. The so-called Snow Wolf Lake is nothing more than a small lake in the forest. Snow Wolf often drinks water by the lake. Everyone casually calls it Snow Wolf Lake. Brother Xin, don't be scared by him."
Leng Wuxin smiled and said, "Oh, that's it. There are many people, and we are not afraid even if we meet tigers, haha."
Sun Sheng also smiled and said, "Okay! Then let's go straight to Snow Wolf Lake to see if there is any snow wolf drinking water and shoot a few of them.
Outside the frozen village, Snow Wolf Lake.
If Hua Bochun hadn't told Leng Wuxin that this was the place where the wolves roared, Leng Wuxin might have thought that the woods here were the most beautiful.
The stream in the forest slowly flows under the ice, and the snow on both sides is slowly injected into the Snow Wolf Lake.
The lake is also a thin layer of ice, and there is still thin snow in some places. Everything is so calm and peaceful, quietly in the forest, like a hazy mirror.
He said coldly, "Brother Bochun, where's the snow wolf you're talking about?"
Hua Bochun smiled and said, "It's still early. The snow wolves only come here to drink water at noon, because the weather is the warmest at noon, and the ice is thinner."
Sun Sheng said, "Well, we came early. We should go somewhere else first, maybe we can find the prey."
The crowd nodded and said yes, and the sled continued to walk into the forest, along the river bank, and the road was smoother.
Walking to an open valley, Sun Sheng ordered to stop and said to Hua Bochun, "Just here, the trees are thicker."
Hua Bochun said, "Okay, Ziyue and I went to set a trap. You got off the sleigh and pulled the horse into the forest."
Intentionally, "I will also follow you to set the trap."
Bo Chun said, "Go and dig a hole along the river with Brother Ziyue. It must be closer to the river."
Zhao Ziyue nodded and handed him a cold and heartless shovel. He held a hammer and looked for footprints along the river.
Leng Wuxin felt very fresh. It turned out that digging traps were so particular that it was easy to find a place. Zhao Ziyue gently pushed away the snow on the ground with deer leather gloves, chiseled the ground, and it was not hard to freeze. She said, "Brother Hua, Brother Xin, that's it is here."
After saying that, Zhao Ziyue went to smash several ice blocks by the river. Hua Bochun also came slowly with a sled pick and a bag of things and said, "Is it sand?"
Ziyue said, "It's the river**. The river is half dry, and the sand is easy to dig."
Hua Bochun said, "Brother Xin, let's dig a small pit two feet deep below a narrow square. The sand will fall into the river and don't stay in the snow."
Leng Wuxin nodded, and the two started to move. Zhao Ziyue helped break the frozen soil. Leng Wuxin said, "Brother Hua, I'm afraid a hole of one foot can't trap the prey."
Bochun smiled and said, "There is a mechanism. As long as the prey's foot enters the circle, it will fall and step on the mechanism to ensure that it can't be pulled out."
Leng Wuxin is still a little suspicious. It's strange that there is an ambush. Is it a beast clip commonly used by hunters? Anyway, I have never seen it.
The three dug the pit, and the sand poured into the river and let it sink and float. Hua Bochun first took out a strange iron clip from the cloth bag, which was firmly tied with thick wood.
Hua Bochun inserted a wooden stick in the bottom of the pit, turned a circle and got stuck to death, and then put the iron clip firmly on it. He smiled and said, "Brother Xin, as long as the hooves of the beast step on the iron clip, the iron clip will be clamped firmly and can't be pulled out if you want to pull it out."
He also smiled coldly and said, "So that's it. What about it? Lay some thatch?"
Hua Bochun said, "No, just lay a piece of papyrus paper. If you sprinkle a little soil and cover it with snow, you can't see it."
