Chapter 108: Worthy of the name
When Yu Tou heard that he was going to hunt bears, he immediately rubbed his hands and was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut: "I must go, I must go!"
Gu Yu and the three of them were a little worse in skill, and they were all injured, so they could only stare dryly.
Everyone discussed it and went back to prepare.
Shen Yun is a veteran of hunting, although he has never hunted a bear, but other big guys have also hunted, so he is not afraid at all. The problem on his side is mainly that he has to leave for three and a half days, and the medicine field is unattended.
After thinking about it, he went to Yuan Feng for help.
"You're going bear hunting?" the latter's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, "it's too dangerous!"
"It's okay, there are several of us. They're all pretty skilled. Shen Yun said with a smile.
"Are those people in the grocery store?" Yuan Feng suddenly realized. I heard that those people are all the personal soldiers of the great handsome, and they have all experienced a hundred battles, which is very good. With them to protect you, I'm afraid youkai can beat it!
Shen Yun nodded, and said, "When the time comes, please ask Brother Yuan to help me pay more attention to the medicine field." ”
"It's fine. Wrap it around me. Brother Xian, go with confidence. Yuan Feng said with a smile, "When the time comes, just remember to bring me a piece of tender bear meat." ”
"Okay. Shen Yun responded with a full mouth. An adult bear weighs at least a few hundred pounds. After peeling the skin and removing the bones, each of them can get at least dozens of catties of bear meat.
Seven days, in the blink of an eye.
When he came out of the auditorium on this day, Shen Yun said hello to Yuan Feng and a few of them, and went straight to the grocery store.
The rest is ready. He was dressed as if he had been a different man, dressed in a black stub, with his calves tied firmly with straps of the same colour, a pair of half-worn straw sandals on his feet, a longbow in his hand, and an arrow on his back. The usual old-fashioned spirit was swept away.
Because the old forest infested by the old bear was close to the martial arts courtyard, the two of them had to go to the martial arts courtyard first, have lunch in Su Laosan's grocery store, and then set off.
Yu Tou looked at Shen Yun's outfit and asked, "Mr. Do you want to change your clothes?"
The outer robe of the disciple's uniform was above the knee, and in his opinion, it was very cumbersome.
Shen Yun shook his head: "No need." It is also convenient to tuck the front robe into the belt. ”
In fact, he didn't want to wear a one-two-and-a-half disciple uniform to drill the old forest. First, it is inconvenient, and second, it is too expensive to wear.
Helplessly, the rules of the martial arts hall are like this, and the disciples must wear disciple uniforms when they are in the martial arts hall.
Yu Tou didn't say anything more, and told Gu Yu and them to take care of the shop: "When we come back, the bear meat is enough!"
Gu Yu and the others were all smiling.
"The bear meat is fragrant and smooth, we have oral administration!"
"What's more, bear meat is still a rare tonic. After eating bear meat, this winter, I don't have to worry about this old injured leg attack. ”
"Triumph!"
The two rushed to Su Laosan's shop. They were ready, too, all dressed in black shorts and straw sandals.
Previously, Yu Tou changed into straw sandals, but Shen Yun didn't pay much attention to it. Now, seeing that they were all wearing old straw sandals one by one, he realized that there must be something to say here, so he asked directly.
Yu Tou smiled: "The straw sandals are good." Lightweight, comfortable and does not hurt your feet. In the mountains and in the water, they all went. Also, when you walk, the sound is soft. ”
That's the point. Shen Yun suddenly realized.
"When we were in the army, we were all used to wearing straw sandals. Su Laosan asked, "The clothes we wear on our feet are all made by ourselves." This thing, it's cheap, it's worthless. Why don't you change a pair?"
Shen Yun waved his hand. It's not like he hasn't worn straw sandals. Besides, he is not happy to wear other people's old shoes, and if they wear new shoes, they will hit their feet for the first time, which is not good.
After lunch, the group set off.
The forest that Su Laosan said was located deep in the mountain forest of the front mountain. After walking for more than half an hour, they came to the edge of the forest.
Pointing to a big bluestone in front of him, Su Laosan said, "Last time, we found the bear's paw print behind that stone. ”
"Go over and see. Yu Tou waved his hand.
Here, the mountains are quiet and the forests are secluded, and there are no traces of people.
Needless to say, Su Laosan and the others had a tacit understanding to open the distance, and vigilantly outflanked the big bluestone.
Shen Yun only really realized at this time that these people were veterans of the army.
They took good care of him and silently kept him in the middle.
And he did not disappoint the people, and decisively went up with them without the slightest hesitation.
Soon, they came to the back of the big bluestone.
Except for a layer of fallen leaves, Shen Yun didn't see anything.
Yu Tou squatted down and carefully picked up the fallen leaves. After a while, he found a very vague mark.
It's huge! It looks like a bear's paw.
Shen Yun was surprised. He considers himself a veteran hunter, looking for prey, and has his own way. However, Yu Tou's hand was indeed an eye-opener for him.
"It's a mark from a month ago. Yu Tou stared for a moment, then looked up and said.
Su Laosan nodded: "We came here more than 20 days ago. At that time, the martial arts hall had not yet opened. ”
Yu Tou's eyes lit up: "It weighs four or five hundred pounds, and it is indeed a blind husband bear." It won't be able to escape! This time, the brothers are blessed. ”
When they heard this, they all rejoiced.
"Follow me!" Yu Tou waved his hand, like a tanuki, and swooped into the thick woods.
Shen Yun thought that he was dazzled, and he saw it wrong-ahhhhhhhh
Su Laosan held a long sword in his hand, turned around and said, "There are many wild things in the old forest, and everyone has a snack." ”
"Yes. Everyone replied in a low voice, and they all took out their weapons and formed again.
Shen Yun carefully found that not counting the remnants who had left, among the remaining few people, their standing positions were clearly divided into three parts, that is, Su Laosan was alone in front, behind him, there was one person on the left and right sides, and at the back, there were two more people.
Of course, he was still protected in the middle.
The remnants seem to have left some mark. Because Su Laosan led the way unhurriedly in front, it seems that he is not worried about losing at all.
Shen Yun deliberately paid attention to it. Sure enough, he found that when Su Laosan was moving forward, he paid special attention to the tree trunks and rocks on both sides.
After looking at a few more places, Shen Yun finally saw the clue: it turned out that the marks of the rest of the head were left in these two places.
He used a combination notation. That is, the marks on the trees and stones are just a simple thin line, which is difficult to find and not say, and it is very arbitrary, and it is not famous at all. However, by superimposing the two marks on top of each other, you can see the direction.
Shen Yun admired it very much in his heart.
Well, Su Laosan seems to have a pair of eyes on the back of his head. It didn't take long for him to suddenly smile back, lower his voice and ask, "Does Sir recognize the mark of Yu Tou?"
Shen Yun gave him a thumbs up.
"Mr. is smart!" Su Laosan also gave him the same thumbs up, turned his head, and continued to move forward.
Shen Yun clearly felt the gaze of the other four. He looked around at the crowd. Sure enough, they looked at him with admiration in their eyes.
"Sir, that's amazing. We've been following the mark for years, and we don't know what the mark looks like. Li Erniu, who was on the left, also raised his thumb and whispered.
Shen Yun hugged his fist at him, meaning: It's over.
Of course, he would not tell them that observing words and emotions was one of the housekeeping skills that Master taught him during his lifetime.
Everyone was silent again and moved on.
After walking for about ten miles, Su Laosan suddenly stopped, clenched his right hand into a fist, and raised it over his shoulder.
Shen Yun understood, this is the meaning of "silence" + "stop".
Sure enough, the rest of the people quickly changed formations. The two people at the back quickly stepped forward, and stood silently with the two people in the middle back to back, looking around vigilantly.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo!" came two cuckoo calls from the dense forest ahead.
Shen Yun's eyes couldn't help but widen - in his experience, there could be no cuckoos in this forest.
At this moment, Su Laosan, who was in front, pinched his mouth with one hand and called out three times.
Shen Yun knew that the cuckoo song just now was definitely learned by Yu Tou.
After a dozen breaths, a black shadow flashed in the dense forest on the left, rushing towards them.
Shen Yun fixed his eyes. Isn't it just a remnant of people who come?
Seeing him, Su Laosan waved his right hand.
So, the alert was lifted. Everyone gathered around.
"Yu Tou, found it?" asked Su Laosan in a deep voice.
Yu Tou stood still in front of everyone, and his face showed joy: "Hmm." Fifty paces ahead, there was a cave, which was the old bear's blind man's den. The bear had just returned to its nest. What a big one!"
I didn't expect it to go so well! Everyone was smiling.
Finding the bear's den is equivalent to more than half of the success. Next, all they have to do is lure the bear out of the hole and shoot it!
Yu Tou squatted on the ground, picked up a small pebble, and drew it in a low voice.
After listening to this, Su Laosan pointed to the map and began to assign tasks: "The three of us will go here to lay bait." He nodded to the two of them, and then said to Shen Yun, "Sir, your flying stone is on point, here, and here, ambush down, and when you see the old bear blind man coming out of the hole, shoot it with Yu Tou." Finally, pointing to the remaining two, "You two are in charge of guarding and protecting Mr. and Yutou." ”
Adult black bears are amazing in terms of strength and attack speed. Therefore, bear hunting is generally done by ambush shooting. Rush up and tear up an adult black bear head-on...... It's too dangerous, it's unnecessary.
"Yes. The people answered in a low voice, and went their own way.
The bait was prepared in advance, a bucket of fresh pig offal mixed with pig's blood, resting in a small wooden barrel, sealed extremely tightly.
Su Laosan and they took the lead. Five steps away from the entrance of the cave, two people guarded, and one quickly split the barrel directly.
Immediately, all the bait was poured out.
The bait is finished. The trio quickly retreated.
At this time, Shen Yun and Yu Tou were also in place according to Su Laosan's arrangement-after entering the ambush point, Shen Yun couldn't help but secretly praise: The information brought back by Yu Tou was meticulous and accurate, and the two ambush points that Su Laosan chose for him and Yu Tou were also just right.
Experienced in a hundred battles, the name is well deserved!
Three paces away from him and Yu Tou, there was a man in ambush in each of them.
Shen Yun understood Su Laosan's intentions: first, to prevent the smell of blood from spreading and attracting other wild animals to attack him and Yu Tou from behind, and second, the ambush point of the two of them was only about ten steps away from the bait. Once he misses, the old bear blind man will be enraged and will fight back with all his might. At this point, the two of them had no choice but to retreat. And these two people will rush up and work together to kill the old bear blind man.
Such an arrangement is impeccable.
And Shen Yun is full of confidence in his flying flowers and willows - with him, it is impossible for the two people behind him to have a chance to make a move.
