Chapter 1202
Because the birds flying overhead are so small, it is impossible to tell what kind of bird it is by visual inspection alone, and only when the birds are knocked down can you make an accurate judgment.
Li An quietly aimed the muzzle of the gun at the flock of birds overhead, and when one of the birds flew completely to the muzzle, he pulled the trigger violently, only to hear a bang, and a bird above his head slowly fell.
Despite the addition of a silencer, there is still a sound, but the sound is a little muffled, not very loud, a hundred steps away can not be heard, the birds are at most dozens of meters above the head, this sound can still be heard, however, because the sound is not very loud, it does not arouse the vigilance of the birds, they are not panicked, but slightly confused, they do not understand, why their companions fall from the sky for no reason, what is the reason?
And just when these stupid birds were at a loss, Li An aimed at them again, the second and third birds were knocked down, and they lost many companions in a row, this situation finally aroused the vigilance of the remaining birds, they didn't care about the curiosity in their hearts, and flew away in a puff of smoke, while Li An calmly went to pick up the prey they had just obtained.
The three birds are all of the same species, all very small, about a dozen centimeters long, the head and beak are black, there is a large white hair area on each side of the head, the back is green and gray, the belly is white, and there is a broad central longitudinal stripe on the chest and abdomen connected to the Lou Dragon.
Through the observation of the appearance of these three kinds of birds, Li Ang can basically determine the category of this bird, which is the more common big in the north, listening to the name of the big, people will mistakenly think that this bird is very big, in fact, this bird is not big, how big can a bird with a total length of only ten centimeters be.
And the reason why this bird is called big is probably because this bird likes to live in the mountains! After all, judging from the size alone, the size of the big is not much different from the ordinary sparrow, basically in the same order of magnitude, so it is obviously wrong to measure it by size, and it is more correct to measure it by the mountain, it is a kind of sparrow that lives in the mountain, and the ordinary sparrow lives in the crowd and likes to coexist peacefully with humans, especially under the tiles of the human house, it is simply an ideal nest place for the sparrow.
With humans as cover, large predatory birds of prey are not easy to appear, so that sparrows can survive relatively safely, and there are many foods to choose from in human agglomeration areas, human leftovers are very good food, and the crops in the surrounding fields are also a good source of food.
The big lives in the depths of the mountains, the living conditions are relatively difficult, and their main food is insects in nature, such as goldenrod insects, beetles, poisonous moth larvae, stinging moth larvae, inchworm moth larvae, Culex mosquitoes, flower flies, ants, bees, pine caterpillars, floating dust, bugs, ladybugs, mantis and other lepidopteran insects; In addition, there are Diptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Homoptera, Hymenoptera and other insects and insect larvae are also the food of the big, in addition to the big also eats a small amount of spiders, snails, grasses, flowers and other small invertebrates and plant food, in short, the food of the big, mainly some animals and plants in nature, basically have no opportunity to eat the food produced by humans, and the big eats a lot of insects are pests, so the big can also be said to be a beneficial bird.
And because the diet of the big is relatively wide, and the body size is relatively small, the big is very widely distributed in the world, almost all countries in Eurasia have traces of the big, and even, there are big living in some parts of Africa in the south.
The reproductive ability of the big is also relatively strong, similar to that of the sparrow, and can breed up to two litters a year, and a nest can have up to fifteen small birds, so as long as this bird is well protected, its number can explode.
In addition, the hatching period of the big is only half a month, and after the hatching of the young birds, they only need to be fed for half a month, and the young birds can go out of the nest activities, and after a few days, they can even leave their parents and go out to forage alone.
This speed is simply too fast, it is too fast, and it can be seen that it is also a bird species with super reproductive ability.
Li An gently put the three big into the net he carried, this harvest is too little, you have to hunt more prey, otherwise you will lose to Lao Guo, it will be a shame!
Riding his horse slowly, Ang Lee was carefully looking for prey, because this is a forest where few people are active, so danger is also everywhere, in case of encountering wild beasts, it is also necessary to be vigilant.
According to Li An's understanding, the wild in Yinzhou is at most a wolf pack, and there are no larger tigers and other beasts, so there is no need to worry too much, although the strength of the wolves should not be underestimated, however, Li An has weapons in his hands, and there are hunting guards hundreds of steps away, so there is no need to worry too much at all, just pay a little attention to it, and, according to Li An's understanding of wild beasts, these beasts should be afraid of humans, because humans have weapons that can cure them to death. No beast can defeat humans, and it is not an order of magnitude at all, and humans are crushing any beasts.
Maybe it's because the winter is too cold and the prey in the wild is quite scarce, Li An walked for a while, only to find that there were two hares walking together in the distance, both of which were snow-white and snow-white, because the distance was relatively far, the rabbit didn't seem to find Li An, or, in the rabbit's consciousness, as long as the threat was outside his safety range, he didn't have to worry too much.
But rabbits have definitely been in the jungle for too long, and they don't know what the safe distance between themselves and humans is, and the safe distance in their eyes is not really a safe distance, and the danger has come to them.
After the first rabbit was suddenly shot, the second rabbit really hadn't reacted yet, and when it reacted and was about to escape, it realized that it was too late.
The two rabbits are just there, and it doesn't take much effort, this is the second harvest, and there will definitely be more prey harvests to come.
Maybe it was too good luck, Li An soon met a beautiful white fox again, the previous three big and two little white rabbits, all hit the wings and legs, and the body was not too damaged, this time when he met such a good white fox, Li An was naturally unwilling to break the white fox, the living white fox must be worth more than the dead white fox, a good white fox skin must be worth a lot more than the broken white fox skin, these are for sure.
Therefore, when Li An aimed, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the white fox's hind legs, so that there was a great possibility of capturing this white fox alive, and he could catch a live white fox alive, which was definitely a matter of pride for Li An.
The white fox is still two hundred steps away, due to the distance, it is obviously a difficult thing to hit the leg of the white fox with a small target, however, Li An's marksmanship is good, and it is expected that the telescope will be blessed, as long as you aim a little, it should still be possible to hit.
Li An put the butt of the gun on his shoulder to make his body as stable as possible, because as long as the body is slightly unstable, the bullet fired will have a large deviation, and it is possible that it will not be able to hit the white fox's legs, or directly hit the white fox's abdomen, resulting in the death of the white fox, and the dead white fox is worthless, only the living white fox is a valuable white fox.
After aiming for a long time, Li An carefully pulled the trigger, and then nervously waited for the result.
Very lucky, the white fox's leg was really shot, and he groaned in pain, and then, unwilling to be killed, the white fox endured the severe pain and wanted to escape.
Because he was injured in the leg, the white fox was limping when he ran, which was particularly difficult, and Li An obviously would not let go of the injured white fox, which was finally injured, of course, he couldn't let go easily, so he chased after the injured white fox.
The fox is a very cunning animal, and he soon realizes that someone is chasing after him, so he picks up the rugged and difficult jungle to escape, although this will make him more painful, but in order to escape, the fox can't care so much.
The rugged and difficult dense forest is very difficult for Li Ang who is riding a horse, as long as the horse runs a little faster, it will easily hit the trunks of the two handfuls, so that it can only walk slowly at a very low speed, and in this way, the fox has the possibility of escaping.
However, the fox was injured after all, and he didn't run fast himself, and it was extremely painful, if he hadn't been injured, this fox would have dumped Li An long time ago.
In addition, the fox also underestimated the intelligence of humans, he walked through the difficult dense forest, and wanted to throw people away, but his face could be completely roundabout, as long as he could see the white fox, it would not be able to escape.
The leg injury is inconvenient to move, and the blood is constantly flowing out, the white fox's blood loss seems to be a bit much, so there is no strength to run and run, either because of fatigue caused by excessive blood loss, or because the leg is too painful, so that the white fox can't stand the pain, so he can only be forced to stop.
The white fox who stopped, looked around nervously, his chest rose and fell violently, obviously he ran too fast before, and his body was injured again, so he was out of breath.
Li An will not be soft-hearted because the white fox is injured and can't run, this is the best time to catch the white fox, naturally he can't miss it, so he rode his horse slowly closer.
And when Li An was still five or six steps away from the white fox, the white fox actually got up and ran, this white fox was fighting with the last energy of his life, wanting to get rid of Li An's pursuit, and this is obviously not an easy thing, since Li An has set his eyes on this white fox, it will not want to escape.
The white fox is bleeding all the way, just now lying on the ground and not moving the position accumulated a lot of blood, such a small animal, there is not too much blood on the body, so much blood has been shed, and it can still have the strength to run, which is also a miracle, for the white fox's will to survive, Li An admires it, however, Li An's purpose is to hunt the white fox, so, even if he admires the courage of the white fox, but he will not let it go, and the white fox's leg has been seriously injured, as long as it is caught, it will be treated, This white fox is likely to survive, and if left alone, even if the white fox escapes temporarily, the final solution should be a dead end, after all, the wild environment is very cruel, for any kind of animal, it can not be easily injured, if it is injured, it means that it cannot be hunted, and the consequence of not hunting is that it cannot get food, so that an animal can easily be starved to death, in addition, if there is no herb for injury, it will also cause the animal's wound infection, Wound infection is basically a dead end for animals in the wild, and there are no doctors in nature, and no one will treat these poor injured animals.
The white fox trotted all the way, and Li An was slowly chasing behind, not in a hurry at all, this injured white fox was destined to run not far, and he could always catch up.
After running for a few more miles, the injured white fox couldn't run anymore, it looked at Li An who was chasing after him very desperately, with a loveless expression, it seemed that it no longer had the slightest attachment to this world, and the excessive blood loss made its eyes a little blurred, and the scenery in front of it seemed so blurry.
"Haha! Finally caught, see if you're still running around. ”
Li An proudly grabbed the white fox who had no ability to resist, and tore off a piece of white cloth at will, wrapping the injured leg of the white fox to stop the white fox's bleeding calf.
The white fox had completely lost consciousness, and no matter how Ang Lee played with its body, it closed its eyes indifferently, as if death was about to take it away.
After simply dealing with this cute white fox, Ang Lee continued to look for new prey.
Although the number of prey is very small in winter, however, because Li An's hunting skills are very skillful, and there is a secret weapon blessing, so, there are still a lot of prey hunted, after that, there are more than a dozen birds and finches have been captured, as well as a few larger pheasants, the only regret is that I did not encounter large animals, such as deer and wolves and other animals did not encounter one, the largest animal is actually a white fox captured alive.
The ten guards who followed Li An set off can only be described as miserable, a few guards did not hit a single prey, and the remaining guards only hunted very small prey.
And the situation on Lao Guo's side is also miserable, the prey captured by the eleven people together is not as much as that of Li An alone, and the same is also a very small animal.
