Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 56—Hunting Rabbit

The weather is getting hotter as the days go by. The school uniform was replaced with a brown short-sleeved linen shirt, and the lower body was still black trousers. The semi-high leather boots worn on the feet were also replaced with flat leather shoes. The school uniforms of the girls in the country are similar to those of the boys. The upper body is the same short-sleeved shirt, but the lower body is replaced by a black long skirt.

To this end, every 20 minutes of rest during the class, there are many boys in the corridor, staring at the opposite girls classroom, I hope that the girls will come out to show their wonderful body…

Claude was a little annoyed today because the mother was told by her father for a shoe in the morning. Somehow, Mr. Morssen this few days sudden serious stingy disease, because Claude or 16-year-old juvenile, normal physical development, some time ago boots small mother and went to buy a double big, the result only after one weeks of hot school let everyone change flat shoes, take to shoes found the same small, Mother went to buy a double size again.

In the morning, Mr. Morssen listened to his mother and said that he did not know why he had a fire. He thought that his mother had no hard-working life. He pointed out that one of the major problems that the mother had neglected was that he had just bought Claude the pair of big ones. He had to wear them for ten days because of the hot weather, but Claude would grow up and wait for the summer and If you want to wear it again after the fall, it is very likely that the pair of boots will not wear even smaller…

Mr. Morssen thinks that these new boots will probably be useless after they have been worn for ten days. Isn't this a waste of money at home? He thinks that if Claude can live with it, the old leather boots that have become smaller and a little bit can only be worn for ten days, just replace them with new flat shoes, so that the family will save a pair of new boots. Money…

Claude wants to stand on the side of her mother and lick her father. I want to buy a pair of boots and say so. I don’t want to use four riya. Is it so stingy? As a result, Mr. Morssen rebuked him again and said that he had bought him a new arquebus gun for more than a month. He often watched him carry a gun to the woods outside the town to practice shooting, but why didn't he return the prey? You can't make a point for your family. It's good to let the family buy less meat. If you can't hit the mountain antelope, you can't play two rabbits to go home…

Claude was speechless and had to go to school with a stomachache.

Borkal knew a bit of wind, and he quietly revealed to Claude that his fathers were raising the first batch of expedition funds because they wanted to implement the route plan from Whitestag town to the Tyrussim overseas governor of Nubissia. Some of the words revealed by his father show that many people do not believe that this route exploration program can be successful, and it is difficult to raise funds. Therefore, Mr. Morssen is somewhat understandable when he is getting angry. He is leading the plan.

Well, the transmigrated world has become the second son of Mr. Morssen, so it is also okay to be reprimanded by him. Who called the transmigrator to occupy his son's body.

However, Mr. Morssen looked down on making Claude uncomfortable. The reason why he could not reach the mountain antelope was that he did not find it, but the rabbit always had it. Although he was clever, Claude did not believe that he could not catch the rabbits.

Now Claude has already placed the target at a distance of 100 meters when he went to practice in the woods outside the town. No way, hunt rabbits, don't expect to be able to approach them 50 meters away, 100 meters away may make rabbits not run so fast. Just a hundred meters away, the rabbit is just the size of a soy bean. Claude has to practice his eyes well…

After practicing for three days, the target of 100 meters away can also be a red heart. Claude consciously practiced almost as far as actual combat, and it was about to go to Welikro afternoon to hunt rabbits.

The reason for only two people was that Eriksson was going to the dock to get his small fishing boat, but Borkal was busy doing his business and selling new targets designed by Claude. It is said that the business is good, the capital of the four silver thales invested by the four partners has doubled, and the car dealer master of the Borkal family is currently entrusted to produce the third batch of 80 new targets and a new batch of target papers. Hundreds of sheets…

Borkal's Aubass Mark 2s arquebus is currently in use by Welikro, and as usual, the sight sights were unloaded.

After the first class in the afternoon, Claude and Welikro were no longer prepared for the following two horsemanship training sessions. They left the school and went to Claude's home. Both arquebuses were placed under the bed in the attic, and the guns were taken to bring the needed things. Going out and calling a carriage to send the two to the mounds and forests on the south side of the town, then the two went to the mountains.

Welikro said that the best place to hunt rabbits is in the mounds and forests of Zhennan. Although it is a farmhouse, an orchard and a vegetable garden, it is not uncommon for small animals such as rabbit pheasants. Those large carnivores simply don't dare to come to the area, because most of the owners of the industry here are nationals. There are basically guns in the house, and hunting is also a hobby. So to a certain extent, these small animals have no natural enemies, they breed very quickly, and the number increases a lot.

The main reason why the last four people came here was that Borkal was looking for a large prey, and kept moving through the woods. He heard that the moving animals were not fleeing, they were hiding, so it was normal to hit the prey. of.

Claude is very strange. Last time you didn't say that the watchdogs here are all good at catching small animals?

Welikro explained to him that the owners of the watchdogs here mostly tried to prevent their own farms, orchards and vegetable gardens from being ruined by small animals, and basically did not put their watchdogs out of their industries. So as long as two people go deep into the mountains, they can find a good place to stay. The most important thing to hunt for these small animals is patience.

After another walk, Welikro took Crowder to climb a small mound, with sparse trees and bushes under the mound, and dense grass nests.

"Okay, let's just go about this place."Welikro said with satisfaction to Claude: "We have set up guns here, waiting for the rabbits and pheasants to appear. The fire ropes should be ordered first and long. If there is a target, put the fire rope on the pill box and fire it. If there is no target fire rope, just change it. Also, from now on, we don't talk, the little things are very sensitive, as long as the wind passes our voices, they will hide or run away…"

"We have been waiting for a gun here?"Claude asked.

Welikro nodded. "Yes, you must learn to be patient when hunting these little things."

Claude didn't talk, and after the gun was set up, he kept silently staring at the bushes under the mound. Welikro said that pheasants like to move around in the bushes. Hey, Claude prefers to drink chicken soup more than a rabbit…

I don't know how long it took, Claude felt that his feet were standing numb, and there was still no movement around. There was only a gust of wind passing through the bushes of the woods.

I was trying to move my body, but Welikro poked a few fingers with her fingers and turned to look at it, but we saw Welikro signaling him to look at a grass nest under the mound on the left. Looking closely, I saw a gray rabbit stretching two long ears to look east, and the mouth was still chewing on the grass.

Welikro extended two fingers, clicked on Claude and himself, clicked on the rabbit, and finally pointed to two muskets. Claude understands that this is to open fire with him, so as not to be beaten by the rabbit.

Nodded and slammed the fire rope over the pill box, Claude began to aim.

The rabbit was about 80 meters away from the mound. What made Claude happy was that the rabbit had been left in place, but his head was still shaking, but his body did not move.

When Claude felt very confident, he deducted the trigger. Even at a distance of nearly 100 meters, the gray rabbit seemed to hear something, and immediately raised his ears and listened carefully to the sounds around him.

However, it is already alarming, and the two shots of "Boom" and "Boom" are almost simultaneous, and Claude and Welikro have already completed the shooting.

Looking far away, the rabbit seemed to be picked up high in the same place, and another head fell into the grass and disappeared.

Claude was very disappointed: "No hit, let it run…"

Welikro got stunned: "It hit, it didn't run away. We put the gun on the gun first, then went to the grass to search, the rabbit was around. ”

The two men again fired gunpowder and guns on the arque. After igniting the ropes, they picked up the brackets as crutches and went down the mounds step by step.

"Unfortunately we didn't bring a hound."Welikro suddenly sighed.

greyhoundClaude said that Welikro had said that they had three dogs, which are said to be the crossbreed dogs, which are commonly known as watchdogs and mountain wolves. It is bigger than the watchdogs, very smart and fierce, and is a good helper when his father went hunting in the mountains.

"Do you bring a hound?"Claude asked.

"If we bring a hound, then we don't have to go down the grass." The hound will go down and help us to bring back the hit rabbit. But if you really bring a hound, maybe we don’t even have to bring a gun. My big black, black, black, and black can kill the rabbit pheasant in this mountain…"Welikro said.

This is bragging, Claude said no.

"Really, I didn't lie to you."Welikro said: "The three hunting dogs in our family are trained to deal with the large beasts in the mountains. Even a wild boar can be entangled so that my father can find a chance to fire a shot. Usually catching a rabbit pheasant is not a problem, and now the mountain forest near our home can not find a rabbit, they have been caught by them. ”

"Don't you say that the watchdogs at the foot can catch rabbits and pheasants?"

"Those watchdogs can catch, but they can only be in the farms and gardens where they are guarded. When you catch the rabbit pheasant in the mountains, you can catch one or two. It’s basically no good to be trained. For example, when they enter the mountain, they will scream that the animals that can run have already run out…"

"So what do you say about playing rabbits and pheasants? Can you set traps and covers? ”

This…let me see……"Welikro indulged for a while and said: "To say that catching rabbits and wild pheasants, in addition to using hound dogs, it is basically like us to use a shooting method to hit them in a long distance and damage them. However, many hunters like to use hunting bows and sarcophagi to hunt rabbit pheasants. First, the hit rate is higher than that of the musket. Second, the sound is small. Unlike the musket, a shot is scared away besides the target being hit.

As for the traps, the pits and the nets are dealing with large beasts. They have never heard of rabbits and pheasants. I don't know what you said about the cover, but I heard that some people used the soaked spirits to sprinkle the granules in the bushes. When the pheasants eat it, they will get drunk, and then they will go to sputum. Others say that pheasants are blind, and they can't run with a torch or a lantern at night. It's very simple to grab one hand. I tried it. It didn't work. I didn't wait for you to get close."

The gray rabbit fell in the grass, and there was a bullet hole in the back, which was no longer mad.

Welikro said that she was aiming at the head. It must have been Claude. Claude couldn't be sure if he was hit, but he still smiled at the gray rabbit. He went home at night and explained it. This time he can meet Mr. Morssen. I want to eat the rabbit's mouth.

Welikro said: "We have to change places. The two gunshots have scared away all the small animals around here, unless we wait until the evening, otherwise we will never see any prey."

Claude ignored him, and he was busy picking the tough and fine vines from the grass to weave the cover.

"what are you doing?"Welikro asked.

"Set a trap."Claude replied, this is the skill that he used to be in the mountain village when he was a child. The bear child in the mountain village is not a good hand to catch the fish and catch the pheasant rabbit. I am glad that this skill has not been forgotten by myself: "This is a cover, specifically Pit of pheasants and rabbits."

“Can this catch pheasants and rabbits?”Welikro also squatted down to help with the cover, but he was still very skeptical.

"Well, I will put these covers under the bushes and grass nests, and tomorrow we will see if we have any harvest."Claude said.
