"PaPa, I want to go too. Can I? PaPa, take me to play with you, okay?"
When Yang Yi was arranging the equipment in the bedroom, Xi Xi pouted and came in from the door. Xi Xi didn't understand the meaning of hunting and didn't know what her father was going to do. She just wanted to go with her father.
"Not today. Dad and grandpa are going to a dangerous place. It's not convenient to take you. You see, mom and brother didn't go. "Yang Yi smiled and pointed to Murphy next to him.
Murphy's eyes were a little red. Although she knew that Yang Yi was unlikely to be in danger this time, hunting was a risky "sport" after all, so she couldn't help but worry.
"I told you not to go, but you still want to go. Isn't it better to leave this kind of thing to those experienced cowboys?" Murphy couldn't help complaining.
Although she was complaining, Murphy's deep concern for him was expressed through these few words.
Yang Yi turned around and hugged Mo Fei. Even little Wanwan was held in his arms. He kissed Mo Fei's forehead and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not like you don't know my skills, and with me here, I can also take care of our dad!"
Murphy knew that she couldn't persuade Yang Yi, and she could also feel Yang Yi's inner desire.
Maybe this was a man?
She had to say, "Anyway, you have to pay attention to your safety. Don't try to be brave, okay?"
"Well, I promise you!" Yang Yi nodded with a smile.
When he came back and packed the backpack, Xi Xi was still looking at her father.
"I really can't go today. Stay at home with mom." Yang Yi rubbed the little girl's head.
Xixi hugged her father's big hand and pouted her little mouth. However, in the end, she still nodded unhappily and said reluctantly, "Then, then PaPa, you have to pay attention to your safety."
"Well! Thank you, Xi Xi. Dad will pay attention to his safety. "
…
The Mo Family's farm sent out three people. The experienced Old Ford brought Mo Henian and Yang Yi to gather at Bariya's farm. Here, Yang Yi was surprised to see Doug and his two farm cowboys, as well as Stewart and his two sons, who were better at shooting.
"Why is Doug here?" Yang Yi asked Mo Henian in surprise.
"How could he not come for such an interesting event?" Mo Henian chuckled.
Seeing that Yang Yi was carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows, Doug curiously came over and asked, "Yang, where's your gun?"
"This is it!" Yang Yi patted the assembled hunting bow on his back and smiled.
"Hunting with a bow?" Doug was surprised as he continued, "Although I've seen some young people hunting with bows and arrows, isn't it a waste for you to use a bow and arrow? How can a sharpshooter like you not have a hunting rifle? Mo, are you being too stingy? "
"Doug, what did you say?" Mo Henian glared at him.
Doug ignored Mo Henian and turned around to ask his cowboy to bring over his gun pouch. He took out a rifle and an optical scope from it and handed them to Yang Yi. "Try this one. It's my favorite, the R18 rifle. It's very useful for hunting wolves from a long distance! If you like it, I'll get someone to handle the paperwork and give it to you! "
Yang Yi had heard of the R18 rifle before. It was a famous standard caliber hunting rifle in the world. It was a bolt action single-shot rifle with good accuracy. After installing an optical scope, it could even achieve mid-range sniping.
The one in Doug's hand was indeed his favorite. The body of the gun was very clean and shiny, as if it was coated with a layer of gloss!
However, it wasn't very attractive to Yang Yi. Yang Yi smiled and rejected Doug's good intentions.
Mo Henian looked at Doug proudly and said, "See, it's not that I'm stingy. It's just that he doesn't want to use a gun. This bow was given to him by me. He likes this kind of plaything."
"What a pity, what a sharpshooter!" Doug could only ask his men to put away the R18 as he shook his head regretfully.
Actually, Yang Yi had brought a gun with him. Mo Henian gave him a pistol, and Yang Yi kept it in the holster behind his back. With his jacket covering it, it couldn't be seen.
However, Yang Yi felt that he basically didn't need a pistol.
…
Bariya walked in with a few people and gathered everyone for a short meeting.
Yang Yi also understood not long ago why Uncle Bariya was leading the team. It turned out that his family was a famous hunter family in Big Grassland Town. They were best at hunting prey.
Bariya took out a printed map of the forest and gestured. "These few days, Isaac has already gone to investigate. The recent distribution of the wolves in our forest should be this area and this area. We have a lot of people. Now, let's divide the work. I'll lead a team. Mo and your men, Doug and the rest will follow me. We'll set off from this road and approach the wolves here!
Isaac and Sebastian will lead a team with Stewart and the children. We'll outflank them from this road and try to catch both groups of coyotes in one go. Otherwise, when winter comes, our cattle and sheep will suffer! "
"No problem!" Stewart nodded. The two young men behind him who looked like they were in their early twenties rubbed their hands together excitedly.
Doug also smiled at Yang Yi and said, "It's my honor to be in the same team as you."
Bariya saw that they had no objections and clapped his hands. "OK! Everyone, check your equipment one last time. We'll set off in ten minutes! "
The cowboys' movements were very nimble. After tidying up, everyone took their equipment and went outside the house to ride the horses they brought.
Yang Yi also rode beside Mo Henian. Bariya led their "big team" and majestically killed their way into the primitive forest behind his farm.
After all, it was a primitive forest. As they went deeper, the surrounding trees became taller and denser. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the thick leaves. Even though the mottled leaves formed a few light shadows, it only made the forest look brighter. It couldn't let people judge the current time.
Yang Yi preferred this kind of hidden and cool feeling. In the forest, he seemed to feel that the pores on his body were breathing comfortably, as if he belonged here.
Bariya was very experienced. He didn't need a compass at all. Looking at the very familiar trees in the forest, he didn't need a map and could point out a path for horses to travel on. These paths were almost all created by the hunters after cutting down some bushes and obstacles.
However, on such a complicated forest path, Yang Yi and the others couldn't rush their horses. They could only slowly walk forward, just a little faster than ordinary people walking.
Perhaps because their team had been talking and laughing all the time, their movements were relatively loud. They didn't see any large or medium-sized animals along the way. However, on the trees, they would occasionally encounter a group of small birds jumping happily on the trees. It was very interesting to see them fly up and down.
According to Bariya's explanation, those were black-crowned tits, which were also allowed to hunt. However, these palm-sized birds really couldn't attract the attention of these ambitious hunters.
After walking for a long time in the mountains, Bariya called out to everyone and lowered his voice. "Soon, we will reach the area where the coyotes are active. Don't make any noise to scare them."
The cowboys who were talking and laughing just now were all serious at this moment. Doug, like the others, took down a shotgun and held it in his hand.
Yang Yi didn't move. His ears were sharper than anyone else's and he could hear that there was no strange movement nearby.
Finally, they arrived at the place. Bariya asked everyone to dismount and gather the horses. He calmed them down and asked a hunter from the Bariya family to stay behind and look after them. Subsequently, Bariya took the rest of the people to the ambush site to make a simple bunker.
In fact, they just picked a bush downwind and put some branches and dead leaves as camouflage. They hid behind it and set up their guns.
Is this how they play? Isn't this too shameless? Nearly ten rifles, are they going to play a tower defense game? Even if there were dozens or hundreds of coyotes, wouldn't they be able to eliminate them?
But the problem was that coyotes were different from wolves. They didn't appear in groups. Most of them were male and female, and at most, there were a few children. Even the largest family, including the pot, could only be counted with two hands.
This was a bit too much …
When it came to hunting, Yang Yi preferred guerrilla warfare. It was best to hunt alone. But today, he had to protect Mo Henian. He couldn't be alone. So, he had to be patient and follow the team …
Then, Yang Yi was about to have an eye-opener!
Bariya actually took out a pager and blew it.
That was a simulator of the sound of rabbits struggling!
They weren't waiting for the coyotes to appear, but took the initiative to lure them … Are all Americans hunting like this?
