BXBX NOVEL Chapter 67: Firefox
These five dogs are rare and good hunting dogs, one is better than the other.
It\'s a pity that two of them were killed by the medicine. If all seven dogs were there, it wouldn\'t take much effort for ordinary wild boars and black blind men.
Now Xu Shiyan can feel relieved. When the black dog and the flower dog recover from their injuries, he will take the dog out to wander around from time to time.
Not to mention, Xu Shiyan is really lucky, he can always meet something when he goes out, and he will never come back empty-handed.
There are the most wild boars, and occasionally I can meet a group of roe deer. Once in the middle, I happened to meet a black blind man and killed a black blind man.
In addition to those traps and traps near the venue, there will be some gains.
Now, a lot of meat has been accumulated in the barn, and a lot of various skins are also hung on the wall.
In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice has passed, and the temperature is getting lower and lower, with more than 30 degrees below zero outside.
There were several heavy snowfalls in a row, the snow in the venue was almost up to the armpit, not to mention the snow on the mountain, which could almost drown people.
Before and after the Xiaohan solar term, the fur of sables, raccoon dogs, otters and other animals is beautiful in color, durable in texture, and soft in fleece, so it is the best time to hunt.
Xu Shiyan naturally didn’t want to miss this opportunity, so he happened to step on a snowboard made of wild boar skin to go to the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest belt on the mountain to catch sables and squirrels.
Come out from Shenchangzi and walk southwest, pass the wild boar forest and go forward, the mountain gradually becomes steeper.
The tree species on the mountain have also changed. The pine trees gradually increase, and the needle and broad-leaved forests are mixed. Further up, it is the area where sables are infested.
The further you go to the top of the mountain, the deeper the snow falls.
The snow in the northeast is deposited as it falls, with a thick layer of snow particles and a hard cover on top.
People step on it directly, and they can get stuck in the snow all at once, and it is difficult to pull their legs out.
Fortunately, Xu Shiyan is walking on a snowboard. Although he is not a fast walker, he can walk anyway.
So I paddled my snowboard and walked up the mountain until it was almost the top of the mountain, and there were more and more pine trees.
Xu Shiyan looked at the ground, and after a while, he saw the tiny footprints on the snow, which were left by the sable.
Sable, also known as big leaf by the locals, is one of the three treasures of the New Northeast.
Its coat is light, soft and warm. Light, the finger skin is thin and soft, falling to the ground like a feather.
Soft, the finger hairs are fine and thick, which catches the eyes but not dazzling. Warm, there is a saying that "the face is like fireworks", and it is the most precious fur.
Sables are quick-witted and dexterous, and it is not easy to catch them.
In the past, there was a legend that a hunter followed the sable all the way in the mountains all winter.
Until the beginning of spring, before the sables return to their nests, their vigilance will decrease at that time, and they will be caught by hunters.
There are also legends that sables are kind by nature, and when they see someone freezing in the snow, they will go forward and use its fur to warm them up.
So there are hunters who will lie in the snow with their arms open, waiting for the sables to come and catch them.
Xu Shiyan has never seen these in person, so he doesn\'t know if they are true or not. Anyway, he came to catch sables with clips.
Find the footprints that sables often walk on, dig a hole 30 to 40 minutes away from the footprints, dig down 40 to 50 centimeters deep, and then dig snow towards the footprints.
Take out a hole that can accommodate the clip, and there is a hole a few centimeters away from the snow cover above.
Open the clip and stuff it into the hole, then cover the clip with the Gregorian card paper, and a clip is set up.
Then, the snow next to it must be carefully covered to avoid being seen by the sables.
There is not much skill in doing this job, the main thing is to be careful and light in movement. Once the movement is too big, the snow on it will collapse.
Xu Shiyan made a mark near the trap, and then wandered elsewhere. He dug a dozen or so holes in this mountain in the morning and set more than a dozen traps.
After placing the trap, Xu Shiyan stepped on the skis and walked back.
When I had just walked halfway up the mountain, I suddenly saw a red thing flying past in front of me, followed by a blue-gray shadow.
The two shadows were extremely fast, before Xu Shiyan could react, they passed by in front of him. Xu Shiyan quickly grabbed the wooden pole and rowed forward, chasing after him.
In the distance, the clear gray shadow caught up with the red animal in front, and it took a bite when it went up.
I don\'t know where I bit it, but I only heard a scream of "Zhier".
The red shadow seemed to still be struggling to escape, but was bitten again, screaming even more.
Xu Shiyan stopped immediately, took off the gun and pulled the safety, and fired three consecutive shots at the gray shadow.
Xu Shiyan\'s marksmanship is still good. After three shots, the blue-gray shadow fell directly to the ground.
The red thing escaped the danger by chance, but was seriously injured. It struggled to get up, dragging its legs and crawling forward.
Xu Shiyan held the gun in one hand and swiped across the pole with the other.
It was only when I got to the front that I realized that the blue-gray animal that was shot was a wolf. And the one crawling on the ground is a fire fox.
Fox is an animal that is widely distributed in China, and it can be found everywhere, and there are many varieties.
The most famous one in the Changbai Mountain area is Fire Fox.
Its long fur is thick, bright in color and beautiful in guard hair, and the clothes and hats made of it are very warm, so it is called fire fox.
Foxes have a very keen sense of smell, are withdrawn and quiet, and often go out alone.
With its excellent sense of smell, once it finds the smell of a beast on the road, it will immediately avoid it.
Of course, it’s not foolproof. Look, isn’t this just being chased by a wolf?
Foxes are cunning by nature. When their lives are in crisis, they will fart, which is the smell secreted by the scent glands on their bodies.
People feel dizzy, flustered, or even vomit after sniffing, and hunting dogs sniff, spin around, sneeze, and dare not approach.
So there will be many superstitious legends circulating in the mountains, known as the third grandfather.
As soon as Xu Shiyan approached this way, he could smell a foul smell. It must be the fox farting just now.
It\'s a pity that I met the natural enemy wolf, and it didn\'t work. If Xu Shiyan hadn\'t shot the wolf, I guess the fire fox would have become food for the wolf today.
Xu Shiyan stood there looking at the fox on the ground, and had no intention of killing it.
No matter how good the fur fox is, Xu Shiyan doesn\'t want it.
There is a saying in the Northeast that when hunting enters the mountains, no matter how big the animals are hit, they will not offend. Don’t worry about wild boars, black blinds, even tigers, it’s okay to hit them.
But small things, especially "Hu Huang Liu Bai Hui", it is best not to provoke them, especially the first two, you must not provoke them.
How should I put it, some rules are passed down for a reason, and Xu Shiyan believes in these.
People, you still have to be a little in awe, otherwise wouldn\'t you dare to do anything unscrupulously?
Besides, such a mysterious thing as rebirth has happened, how can you not believe anything?
So Xu Shiyan has been on the mountain for so long, and he has never beaten a fox or a yellow-skinned child.
"Forget it, I won\'t kill you, you go." Seeing the fox lying on the ground, Xu Shiyan turned his head to look at him.
The originally cunning and fierce triangular eyes seem to hide a little pleading.
Xu Shiyan waved his hand at the fox, signaling it to leave quickly.
