Chapter 140 Don't advise
Dalang seems to have really overcome his fear of the forest. He could not walk forward before, but now he strides forward.
Qin Yao looked back and saw the determined look on that dirty little face, and she felt proud. It seemed that her teaching method was quite effective.
Dalang noticed his stepmother's gaze, raised his head and gave her a 'strong' smile. The mother and son were like two wild cats, flying freely through the mountains and forests.
Qin Yao wanted to find the cave where she lived last year, but she had been delayed for two days. She poked snake nests everywhere in the forest, and the direction was a bit unclear. Now she had to find a new location.
This is also the second lesson Qin Yao taught Dalang, how to identify the direction in a forest with lush vegetation and tree crowns that block the sky and sun.
Also, if you lose your way, how to help yourself out of trouble.
Qin Yao told Dalang: "No matter what the situation is, we must ensure the safety of our lives as soon as possible. If we really can't find the direction, we should look for water."
The arrow shot out with a "whoosh" and swept through the leaves, making a slight sound.
Prey do not roam freely around the ground. They are threatened by natural enemies and have targets for hunting. They are nocturnal and rarely encountered during the day.
Before shooting the arrow, Dalang looked around for Qin Yao and wanted to get some encouragement from her.
There are still a lot of weeds here, but because of the temperature difference, they are not dense and people can walk upright.
But seeing that Qin Yao had no intention of taking action, she couldn't help but gestured and asked: Are we not going to continue hunting today?
In the mountains, the situation is completely different.
Large beasts did not appear. They usually wait until dark before going out. The biggest ones by the stream now are two sika deers.
Qin Yao waved her hand, the water source is not the best hunting ground, unless you only want to come here once. Otherwise, it will alarm other large animals and arouse their vigilance. They will not come to this place again for a long time.
If he had such ability, could he also hunt a **** bear?
Dalang took a very light and slow breath, aimed at the neck of the sika deer, and loosened the bow string.
Mother and son were squatting on the top of a big tree near the water source, observing various animals that appeared near the water source.
This is the hunter's code to communicate with his companions in the forest. He is asking her if he can shoot the two sika deer.
Dalang was shocked to find that his stepmother had blended into the surrounding environment. He couldn't detect even a trace of her existence if she didn't take the initiative to speak.
Qin Yao had taken Dalang to hunt birds before, but those birds were stupid and couldn't run away even if they made noises. They would fly back after a while after they dispersed, so it didn't take any skills to deal with them.
Dalang felt a little sorry for the little guy. Qin Yao asked him to hold it, but he held the little squirrel in his arms.
Dalang's bow-drawing posture is very standard and his movements are very skillful. It can be seen that he is not lazy at all when he practices at home.
But there was the chirping of birds behind her, reminding him that she was behind him, so don't be afraid.
Qin Yao took Dalang to look for water sources and asked him to take out his slingshot. If he encountered a small animal, he would attack immediately!
Dalang anxiously pulled out the second arrow, put on his bow and chased him out of the hiding place, and then hurriedly shot an arrow at the sika deer's butt.
Dalang was a little excited. He held the little squirrel in one hand and used the other hand to sign the sign language he had just learned with Qin Yao.
Dalang said "Oh" and touched his head. This was the first time he had been beaten by his stepmother since he could remember.
After the chirping of the birds disappeared, only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and the sound of sika deer gnawing were left in the forest.
Waving to the little boy, he pointed at a sika deer that was leaving alone in front of him, picked up the little squirrel in his arms, and gave it another slap to make it faint again.
Qin Yao warned him not to forget his original intention, and practice was the main purpose of this trip to the mountains.
But the strange thing is that not only does it not hurt, but I also feel very good in my heart. I want to hit him more times, just like his mother-in-law did.
Dalang's little heart was slightly shocked again. The stepmother's strong core is admirable.
Only a little bit worse!
Qin Yao thought to himself that young people generally can't persuade him, so let him try it himself.
I only have this little squirrel in my arms. Isn't it too little?
However, after turning around, no trace of her was found.
Dalang's breathing became heavier, and the surprise in his eyes was about to leak out.
According to Qin Yao's words, he would not die of hunger in the woods anyway, at worst he would become a savage.
Which young girl has not dreamed that she has traveled to the end of the world with a sword?
As soon as he saw the prey, Dalang couldn't help but scream, and was slapped on the back of the head by Qin Yao, "Quiet!"
After two days of boring snake poking, today's activity suddenly aroused Dalang's excitement.
Having learned how to track prey before, Dalang followed the sika deer from a distance. Seeing that the deer was not aware of his presence at all, Dalang was ecstatic.
There was no surprise at all, not even the skin of the sika deer was touched.
Seeing the sika deer coming to a stand in front of a bush full of wild fruits and starting to eat the fruits, Dalang didn't notice his arrival at all. Dalang slowly stood up straight, took out an arrow from the quiver on his back, and nocked it on bow.
Are you here to hunt or to scare small animals?
Dalang nodded regretfully, indicating that he understood.
How sharp is the hearing of sika deer?
Immediately turned around and ran away. The arrow that was shot directly passed by the corner of its head and missed.
The child has never seen real hunting, so Qin Yao did not immediately stop his compassionate behavior.
But the prey is right in front of you, how can you let it go?
But the strong interest in his eyes has not diminished.
Mother and son walked through the overgrown area and finally reached the depths of the forest.
But in the evening, squatting near a water source, you can see all kinds of animals gathering together.
Dalang was holding in his hand a little squirrel that was captured alive by Qin Yao and knocked unconscious with a slap. This squirrel looked very special, with a strip of white hair on its tail and a tuft of white hair on its forehead. It was particularly cute.
Qin Yao nodded, and Dalang immediately slid from the tree trunk to the ground, bent over, and followed the steps of the sika deer.
You haven't learned the basics yet, but you want to rush forward?
Seeing that Qin Yao had no intention of taking action, Dalang nodded regretfully again.
So Qin Yao captured it alive and planned to take it back and sell it as a pet.
Qin Yao found a little squirrel and immediately pulled out her slingshot. When she turned around and was about to call Dalang, she found that he was staring at her blankly, frowning and reminding her, look ahead, not at her!
Dalang came back to his senses, breathed out secretly, gathered his energy, and learned how to hunt from her.
Dalang took out his most skilled slingshot and ran after him.
At this moment, the sika deer that was about to run suddenly neighed and turned around.
Dalang was feeling strange when a huge brown shadow jumped up from the grass and rushed towards him!
