Chapter 108 Rushing Away Like Pigs and Wolf
After firing three shots in quick succession, Chen Tuo heard the sound of branches and bushes slapping against each other on the hillside and began to retreat rapidly.
At this moment, Wu Laowai's double-barreled shotgun had just hit his face, and Guan Dunzi's old foreign cannon had just fired its hammer.
Once the gunshots echoing through the mountains subsided, Guan Dunzi looked at Wu Laowai with a mocking expression.
"Did you teach this technique?"
Guan Dunzi didn't mock him, and Wu Laowai didn't take it seriously.
But when he thought about the reasons why his peers mocked him, he immediately recalled the night he hunted wolves in the Hetao Plain, when Chen Tuo almost blew his head off.
Raise a gun and fire; that's not how you hunt.
In Songling, apart from Wu Laowai, who was running his own business, other hunters in the mountains always needed at least two or three people to team up.
For example, Guan Dunzi and his nephew Guan Tianpeng, who are standing in front of you, are a hunting gang formed by the two of them.
For hikers who are not related by blood, it is customary to go in groups of three.
When two, three, or more people go hunting in the mountains, the most important thing is not whether they can catch prey, but that they absolutely cannot shoot their own people.
In addition to direct fire, we also need to prevent bullets from ricocheting off trees or rocks and injuring people.
Raising a gun and firing immediately is a major taboo when running in the mountains.
Just as Wu Laowai was about to explain, Chen Tuo's three shots came to a conclusion.
Another, more rapid thumping sound came, and two dark figures rolled down the hillside.
"Wow... that technique is really impressive, you idiot! And it's two young masters..."
Seeing the two male deer tumbling down the snow slope, Guan Dunzi could no longer mock them.
He fired without causing any casualties and even managed to throw something. Regardless of whether Chen Tuo was skilled or not, this proved that his technique was quite good.
Even if it was a fluke, even if it was a mistake, the technique was still quite good.
"Guan family's eldest son, put down the old cannon, go up and butcher the deer. There's wine on the sled, let's make some deer blood wine."
After giving Guan Tianpeng instructions, Wu Laowai looked at the cart owners who were leading the horses.
"Hold the horse to a tree on the hillside and add reins; block the sled on the uphill road and drive nails into it!"
After arranging the horses and sleds, Wu Laowai began counting the men and guns.
Chen Tuo, Hu Yuling, Guan Dunzi, Guan Tianpeng, and himself, five people in total.
There were three sled drivers.
There are eight militiamen in the town.
There were sixteen people and twenty guns in total.
Besides the three Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and two Ming-type shotguns in their hands, Guan Dunzi and his nephew also had old foreign cannons.
The remaining thirteen guns were either rifles or Type 38 rifles.
"Guandunzi, get your nephew a five-six half. The rest of you, three watch the horses, eight block the two ends, and the five of us block the middle and groin."
The elk was also driven down the mountain by the wolves, and Wu Laowai also showed the unique side of human nature when running in the mountains.
Wherever he spoke, he pointed his double-barreled shotgun.
Next, more wild boars will surely be driven down the hillside, and if they can't stop the people from being scattered, then the wolf pack will probably follow.
"Uncle Wu, there's only one deer blood left. That one's intestines are rotten and the blood is filthy."
Guan Dunzi's nephew, Guan Tianpeng, was also a skilled mountain runner, and he killed two deer in no time.
One deer was unlucky; it was shot through the chest by Chen Tuo, and its intestines rotted into a pile.
The other one wasn't so lucky either; it was shot in the neck and was reduced to a deer's body with very little blood left.
"Quickly mix in the wine and drink it all, then everyone should have some venison to tide them over..."
Before Wu Laowai could finish speaking, snow smoke rose up again on the hillside.
Guan Tianpeng was also quick-witted; he grabbed the deer, whose internal organs had been removed, and hid behind the group.
"Kid, you lead the way. If a big boar comes down the mountain, you have to hold it off. Don't retreat an inch!"
Just as Wu Laowai had expected, the wild boars on the mountain were being driven by the wolves straight towards the center.
At this point, neither he nor Guan Dunzi could hold out. Despite being seasoned mountain runners, they were becoming increasingly cunning with age. Seeing the wild boar charging towards them, they were sure to dodge.
But Chen Tuo was different. This guy was incredibly audacious. He fought off wolf packs twice by himself and even verbally attacked a giant bear from the Ussuri River.
These kinds of people, when they go hunting in the mountains, rely entirely on the firepower of the young man sleeping on the cold kang (heated brick bed), and are not afraid of death.
Like people, wild animals become more cunning with age, as long as Chen Tuo dares to shoot them face to face.
Whether it's a big pig or a big brown bear coming down from above, they'll all run down the mountain, avoiding the gun barrels.
Just like Wu Laowai said, Chen Tuo fearlessly took the lead.
Chen Tuo was trembling with excitement; this was the first time he had ever fired a gun while hunting with a clear view.
Although the wild boar shrouded in snow and mist is just a dark shadow, it's still easier to hunt than a wolf in the snow or under the cover of night.
With his adrenaline surging and feeling only excitement and no pressure, Chen Tuo's speed in firing and reloading his gun increased rapidly.
Watching the wild boars being shot and rolling down the hillside, Wu Laowai and Guan Dunzi both clicked their tongues.
This young man is really fierce. Not only did he suppress the wild boar herd with just one gun, but he also pushed them up the hillside step by step.
This kind of person can no longer be described as fierce; they are simply so ruthless that they are unafraid of death.
Unlike the two who were providing cover and dared not fire indiscriminately, Hu Yuling's Type 56 pistol also went off when she saw that only Chen Tuo among the three people in front of her had fired.
"Da Lingzi, don't shoot! Watch the top of the hill for that kid. If his gun doesn't have time, then you shoot! We'll both make a mistake..."
Wu Laowai and Guan Dunzi were so stunned that they forgot to fire.
Rather, it was because their positions made it difficult to fire easily, and the same applied to Hu Yuling and Guan Tianpeng behind them.
Chen Tuo's gun couldn't stop the wild boars coming down the mountain. After the two of them fired, they still couldn't stop them, so it was Hu Yuling and Guan Tianpeng's turn to fire.
Five people couldn't stop the herd of pigs coming down the mountain, and that would be a disaster...
Fortunately, there were few wild boars and deer on the mountain; the deer herd that we didn't get a good look at ran away.
Without even counting how many wild boars there were, five or six large and small pigs abandoned their prey and darted past the five people into the ditch beside the road.
The herds of deer and wild boars did not break up the group's formation, and the wolves that were supposed to drive the deer and boars did not appear.
"Guan family's eldest son, you go up and finish off the pig. The men on both sides, bring your weapons over. First, have some deer blood wine to warm yourselves up..."
The deer and wild boars were driven away, and no wolves were seen. The sky was beginning to darken.
Only Wu Laowai and Chen Tuo knew that the wolf packs in the mountains were good at fighting at night.
It's estimated that as they run down the mountain, the wolf pack will also drive deer and pigs to block their way.
With Sun Changkui leading two Jiefang trucks to cover the rear, it would be better to stay put than to go down the mountain.
The area below the mountain is all open ground, making it even more difficult to defend.
"Kid, you'd better eat and drink something. You'll have to keep an eye on things later. I'm leading them to cut down trees and build a campfire!"
Having taken two risks alongside Chen Tuo, Wu Laowai is now quite adept at handling the current situation.
Unless a blizzard blows at night, even a pack of a hundred or so wolves can only howl in vain.
After taking the deer blood wine from Wu Laowai, Chen Tuo first tasted a small sip, but it was not as good as the reindeer blood wine from the Beishan Evenki settlement.
"Uncle Wu, deer blood is both fishy and salty."
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. These two deer have probably been running for a long time, and we don't even know where they came from..."
Having understood Wu Laowai's hint, Chen Tuo looked up at the top of the hillside, trying to guess the wolf pack's movements.
He thought that phrases like "pigs running rampant and wolves fleeing" and "driving tigers to devour wolves" were just figments of the imagination of the ancients.
Today, I was truly amazed by what I saw from a pack of wolves...
