Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"Xiongba!!"

Lin Heng called softly along the way.

"Woof woof!"

Suddenly, Xiongba emerged from a forest in the distance, and instead of walking over, he looked at Lin Heng.

"What did you find?"

Lin Heng brought Xiulan over to check.

"Woof."

Xiongba turned around and walked forward, stopping in front of a "thorn ball".

"Hedgehog, I thought it was something else."

Lin Heng was a little disappointed. Hedgehogs are everywhere and have no value.

If you hear a sound while walking at night, turn back and take a flashlight, it must be a hedgehog.

And this guy is so stupid. When he sees people, he doesn't run away, but shrinks into a thorn ball. It's too easy to catch him.

"Let's go, this thing is useless."

Lin Heng rubbed Xiongba's dog head and turned away.

The mushrooms were half dried on the white stone after being sun-dried and roasted. Since the sun hadn't set yet, the two were not in a hurry to clean them up.

Sitting on the stone and observing both sides of the canyon, you can hear the crowing of golden roosters one after another.

It was just that the green leaves were so vast that it was impossible to determine the exact location.

"Let's pack up. Let's hide. The prey will come out."

Lin Heng jumped off the stone and looked at Xiulan with his arms open.

"Okay!"

Xiulan hugged Lin Heng's neck and was lifted off the stone by him. When he let go, she kissed him.

"Pack up."

Xiulan was used to it. As long as no one was watching, Lin Heng would kiss her whenever he wanted, and she was quite happy.

The two of them packed up all the mushrooms. After drying them, the weight was reduced a lot.

After packing up, the two of them returned to the shelter along the river bank.

The stream was too conspicuous, without any shelter. Wild animals could see it from a distance and would definitely not go down.

It was different here in the shelter. Bushes, big trees, and weeds could all serve as very good shelters.

At this moment, Lin Heng didn't look for mushrooms anymore, and he concentrated on hunting.

At about 6:40, a series of sharp cries suddenly came from the mountain:

"Wow! Wow!"

Lin Heng and Xiulan showed a touch of joy at the same time: "It's a muntjac!"

Muntjac is a relatively common prey in the mountains. In Lin Heng's impression, its number is second only to wild boars and badgers.

"Listen first and see the specific location."

Lin Heng was not in a hurry. Muntjacs are more vigilant than badgers. Most of the time, they are caught with rope traps.

"Wow! Wow!"

The howling continued and got closer and closer to the canyon.

"On the south slope."

Lin Heng confirmed that it was on the slope where their shelter was located, but further downstream.

For him, this was good news. If it was on the north slope, he would be easily discovered when crossing the canyon.

"Xiu Lan, you stay here. Xiong Ba and I will go and have a look."

Lin Heng said, and then took Xiong Ba to approach the downstream carefully.

On the way, Lin Heng made a straw hat for himself, which was more convenient for camouflage.

"Wow!! Wow!"

At this time, a muntjac suddenly called from the northern hillside.

"Wow!! Wow!"

The muntjacs on the southern hillside suddenly became excited. It was obvious that they were a male and a female, in heat and wanted to mate.

"This is a good opportunity."

Lin Heng thought, lust is a knife above your head, and the prey in heat will be less vigilant.

If you only think about mating, you will be much less vigilant about the surrounding environment.

After walking more than 700 meters, Lin Heng was sure that the muntjac was very close to him, so he quietly found a hidden bush and hid.

Xiongba also hid not far away.

There was no need to move now, just wait for the muntjac to appear.

The next step was a long wait. The two muntjacs called in the canyon for thirty or forty minutes, and then slowly approached.

"Damn, hunting is really hard." Lin Heng said to himself. He had no feeling in his legs and had been squatting for an hour.

He couldn't understand why the male muntjac was so patient. He didn't rush to ride the female muntjac when he saw it.

He wanted to get up and touch it, but he told himself again and again that he should calm down. The probability of failure was very high.

Fortunately, he was a man who had lived a lifetime. He had enough concentration to clear all the distracting thoughts in his mind and waited quietly in a different posture.

When the sun had completely set and only the last bit of light was left, Lin Heng finally saw the figure of the muntjac.

A tall yellow muntjac with smooth and soft fur and small horns on its head stood in the grass and looked around from time to time.

Lin Heng estimated that this muntjac might be 40 to 50 kilograms, which was definitely a big prey.

This soft fur, a large skin can be sold for 120 to 130 yuan, and a small skin can also be sold for 50 to 60 yuan.

And this male muntjac is definitely an adult muntjac.

However, Lin Heng couldn't make a move yet. The distance was more than 100 meters, and the move would inevitably fail.

But he was not in a hurry. His heart was completely calm, waiting for the prey to slowly approach. He was just waiting, but it wanted to reproduce, so it must be more anxious than him.

"Wow! Wow!"

The female muntjac called again from the other side of the canyon.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the male muntjac's eyes were straight, and he lost all his vigilance. He rushed forward 20 to 30 meters and howled.

The sky had completely darkened in their roars.

The female muntjac on the other side appeared on the riverbed first, and the male muntjac kept moving forward, and soon passed Lin Heng's position.

More than thirty meters away but less than forty meters away from him, Lin Heng squatted in a very clever position, just south of the line between the two muntjac calls.

Lin Heng bowed his body and stood up slowly. He felt that the time had come. Male creatures are the most anxious before mating. He knew this very well.

At this time, the male muntjac was only thinking about reproducing offspring and how to capture the female muntjac, and its awareness of the surrounding environment had been reduced to the lowest point.

Pulling the bow and arrow, Lin Heng aimed at the muntjac's heart and lungs, paused for three seconds, and shot an arrow.

With a pop, the sharp arrow pierced the green leaves and plunged into the Muntjac's chest.

"Wow!!"

With a shrill scream, the male muntjac turned around and ran away. However, after running a few meters, he fell to the ground.

"Woof woof!!"

Xiongba was the first to catch up and hold down the muntjac, biting its neck.

When Lin Heng came over, the muntjac was still coughing up blood, its eyes filled with desire for life and fear of Lin Heng.

Lin Heng shook his head, with a knife on his head. If it weren't for the mother muntjac, it would be very difficult for him to get so close.

After a while, the male muntjac died. Lin Heng reached out and closed its eyes, the joy on his face was beyond words.

"This big muntjac must weigh forty or fifty pounds!"

Lin Heng rubbed Xiongba's dog head and was ecstatic.

"Ouch~"

Xiongba licked the blood of the deer, not wanting to respond to him, and kept slurping.

Lin Heng pulled out the arrow, and the arrow shot into the muntjac's chest from the side, killing his lungs and probably hurting his heart.

That's why it died so quickly.

Pulling out the arrow, blood gurgled out. Xiongba opened his mouth and drank wildly, and the entire dog's mouth was stained red.

"Pity!"

Lin Heng shook his head. If it was close to home, it would be delicious to collect the blood and make a prosperous blood.

When the blood was almost gone, Lin Heng picked up the muntjac and walked towards the shelter.

"Woof woof!!"

Xiongba followed behind him, holding his head and chest high.
