Chapter 505 Miao Family Hunting 2

The conditions have been negotiated.

The Miao people in Ranjiazhai finally became much kinder to them.

Dinner was served by the little old man's family.

He is the village chief of Ranjiazhai.

The county leaders came with them, and Chen Ling and others came to apologize sincerely, and even brought two hunting dogs as a gift to them.

So as a courtesy to the landlord, this dinner is still very sumptuous.

Bacon and local chicken stewed in hanging pots, as well as unique hanging pot rice and roasted fish with cauliflower.

The so-called hanging pot is similar to a hanging pot.

It's just that I changed from an iron pot to an iron can.

"Woof woof woof~"

Two Taihang dogs were roaring at the little yellow dog and snatching chicken bones thrown by people.

"These two mountain dogs are good hunting dogs."

The little old man praised.

Many people in Miao Village can speak Chinese, and some elderly people can even write some articles in Chinese characters.

"It seems that my uncle also knows about hunting dogs. I didn't introduce it to you in detail before. This dog is a hunting dog in the north. The mountain dog in the Taihang Mountains is called Taihang Dog..."

The lynx waved and called the dog over and introduced him.

The body shape of these two Taihang dogs is quite different from the ordinary tiger-headed yellow dog.

It's only slightly larger than an ordinary native dog.

This is due to impure blood.

A truly purebred Taihang dog has thick limbs and a tall and long body.

In terms of size, they are much larger than the dog breeds south of the Qinling Mountains, and they are full of oppression.

"Taihang dog? I've never heard of it, but looking at the ears and mouth of this dog, I almost guessed it was a northern dog. The ears are so droopy, and the mouth is short and thick."

"Oh, my uncle is very knowledgeable."

Everyone gave a thumbs up.

The little old man chuckled.

There are very few outsiders here, and they come only with horse teams and mule teams. They come from several nearby counties, which is nothing unusual.

So when he met Zhao Dahai and others, he was very chatty.

He took the initiative to talk about the many mastiffs he had seen before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It's also quite interesting.

It's just that old people at this age are a bit stubborn and have great misunderstandings about people in certain places and aspects.

This is related to the fact that I was deceived a lot at that time.

After all, they had been living in caves for refuge at that time, and needed to exchange some necessary supplies with others.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the cultivated land was divided, so we came out of the cave and selected a site to open up wasteland and settle down.

While we were chatting, it became completely dark.

Surrounded by mountains, this dam is like a vast basin. After dark, the night seems to have been splashed with thick ink, so dark that you can't see your fingers.

It’s a small Miao village, it’s a bit cold at night, so you need to put on extra clothes.

It doesn't feel like it's midsummer at all.

The little old man and his family had a good chat with them, so they packed up the room and invited them to stay. They just said that after traveling such a long way, they would have a good night's rest, look for prey, and worship the Lord of the Land. During this month's hunt,

Just finish it before it's over.

Chen Ling and others naturally did not reject this kindness.

I also got to know the two young Miao people I met during the day.

One is called Jinwa and the other is called Muwa. They are brothers and the nephews of the village chief.

As soon as the others left, Zhao Dahai lay back on the bed and sighed comfortably: "The girls in the Miao village are not that beautiful. I often read about the Miao village when I was reading, and the martial arts novels were also so colorful, so I thought

There are pretty girls everywhere, but most of them are ordinary farm girls."

Chen Ling and Shanmao glanced at him, and were not in the mood to make jokes now. They just said: "We have something to do at home, and we will stay here for three days at most, so we will go find the prey early tomorrow morning, finish it as soon as possible, and go home early.

"

"Okay, it's a pity that I didn't bring Heiwa and the others, otherwise we would have done it tonight." Shanmao said.

Chen Ling shook his head: "Don't be careless with them. If you are unfamiliar with the place, you should not wander around in the mountains at night. The terrain here is high and the terrain is very strange."

"Yes, there are coffins on the mountain. They are the tombs of the Miao village. Don't wander around at night if you have nothing to do."

Wang Qingzhong said in response.

Everyone was startled, but luckily they didn't wander around. The Miao family's ancestors were buried in the tomb, so there might be some taboos there.

If you accidentally break in and are discovered, it will be another troublesome matter.

"Okay, keep your spirits up and go hunting in the mountains tomorrow."

After a brief discussion, we all found that we had been very nervous these past two days. We didn't sleep well last night at all, and we had traveled such a long way, so we went back to our respective rooms to sleep early.

…

Early the next morning, we had breakfast at the village chief's house.

Chen Ling and the others asked the little old man to prepare some necessary hunting tools for them.

"You guys, there's really no need to be in such a hurry. Although the last hunt was disrupted and no prey was caught, the wild boar was so frightened that it didn't come here for several days. This thing wandered all over the mountains and climbed over the mountains and ridges.

They can go anywhere, but if they don't come out, it will be hard to find them in the mountains.

Unless you go to the mountains and find its nest."

"Uncle, you are talking nonsense again. If we don't go to the mountain, how can we let Brother Chen and the others go?"

"I haven't finished yet. The mountains are even more dangerous. All the poisonous insects and beasts in the Daqinling Mountains are there."

The local Miao people refer to the barrier-like mountain range that stretches across the village in the distance as Dashan.

The hills or flat dams located between the valleys are called flat mountains.

"This summer is very strange. All the wild boars ran down from the mountains. We have nothing to do. We just offer sacrifices to the Lord of the Land for protection, hold hunting events, and hunt in the mountains based on the traces left by the wild boars..."

The little old man explained: "After the wild boar runs down from the mountain, it will go wherever there is food. It will burrow everywhere in the mountain. Without fresh footprints, it will be difficult to find it if you look for it dryly."

in the past.

From autumn to the following spring, wild boars that have spent the hot summer will travel from the mountains to the flat mountains to look for food and avoid the cold.

Wild boars are rampant this year.

I simply can’t wait for autumn.

Starting from late spring, many times, just after nightfall, wild boars will come down from the mountains and ridges and hide in the woods and grass near dry land and paddy fields.

In the middle of the night, when people are quiet, they will sneak into these farmlands and wreak havoc.

After they couldn't stand it any longer, several villages were grouped together, with hunting teams as units, and took turns patrolling after dark.

When they see wild boars, they beat gongs and drums to drive them away.

Then follow the traces left by the wild boars and try to kill them all.

Otherwise, the wild boar will act like a guerrilla, leaving and returning, running here and there, making people unable to care about their head and tail, and they will be exhausted.

"We know about Uncle Ran, but we still want to try."

"That's right, village chief, please rest and don't worry about us. We are a little itchy after encountering such a grand hunting event."

"That's okay."

The little old man looked at the group of them. Even Wang Jusheng and his brother-in-law, who were silent most of the time, were also very motivated.

He stood up and said he was going to find them shotguns and crossbows.

"Uncle, if you don't have enough guns, you can just use a steel fork or something. We can't use crossbows."

Chen Ling stopped the little old man.

If it's a gun, they will use it.

But as for crossbows, especially Miao crossbows, that was limited to him and Shanmao.
