Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 56—Hunting Rabbit

As the days passed, the weather gradually warmed up. 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 with 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 his father for a shoe in the morning. I don’t know why, Mr. Morssan’s sudden and serious illness in these days, because Claude is still a 16-year-old boy, his body is developing normally. Some time ago, the boots were small and the mother went to buy a big one. After only a week or so, the school was hot and the school was flattened for the bottom shoes. The shoes were found to be the same size, and the mother went to buy the double big one.

In the morning, Mr. Morssan listened to his mother and said that he did not know why he had a fire. He believed 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 the double-sized leather boots for Claude. He had to wear it for ten days before the weather was hot, but Claude would grow up. If you want to wear it again after the summer and autumn, it is very likely that the pair of boots will not wear even smaller...

Mr. Morssan thinks that it is very useless to wear these new boots when they are bought 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. It is just a new flat shoes, so that the family will save a new pair. Leather boots money...

Crowder wants to stand on his mother's side and lick his father. He also buys a pair of boots and says so. Isn't it four rias? Is it so stingy? As a result, Mr. Morsan also rebuked him and said that he had bought a new arquebus for him 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.

Bokal knows a little bit of wind. He quietly revealed to Claude that his fathers are raising the first batch of adventures because they want to realize the route plan from Bailu Town to the direct jurisdiction of Tilsim in the slave continent. funds. 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, it is understandable that Mr. Morsan is a little angry recently. He is leading the plan.

Well, to cross this different world to become the second son of Mr. Morssan, it is also okay to be reprimanded by him. Who called the traversal to occupy his son's body.

However, Mr. Morsang 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, when Claude went to the woods outside the town, he had already placed his target at a distance of 100 meters. No way, hunt rabbits, don't expect to be able to approach them for 50 meters, and 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, and 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 he agreed to go hunting for rabbits in the afternoon.

The reason for only two people is that Eriksson is going to the dock to get his small fishing boat. Bok Al is busy doing his business and selling Clot's new target. It is said that the business is good, the four silver talers invested by the four partners have doubled the cost, and the company is currently entrusting the car dealer master of the Boke Aljia to produce the third batch of 80 new targets and printing a new batch of targets. Three hundred sheets of paper...

Bok Al's Aubash II arquebus is currently in use by Verizro, and as usual, the sight sight is unloaded.

After the first class in the afternoon, Claude and Verizro were no longer prepared for the following two equestrian training classes. They left the school and went to Claude’s home. Both arquebuses were placed under the bed in the attic. Take the gun and take the necessary things, go out and call the carriage to send the two to the mounds and mountains below the town, and then the two go to the mountains.

Verricko 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 rabbits and pheasants to be small animals. Those large carnivores simply do not dare to come to this 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 Bok Al 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 they didn’t hit the prey. normal.

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

Verricko explained to him that most of the watchdogs raised by the owners here are to prevent their own farms, orchards and dishes being ruined by small animals, and basically not let their watchdogs out of them. industry. 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, Verricko 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." Verricko was very satisfied with Claude: "We are setting up a gun here, waiting for the rabbit and the pheasant to appear. The fire rope should be ordered first, and long. If 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 should not talk, the little things are very sensitive, as long as the wind passes our voice, They will hide or run away..."

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

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

Claude didn't talk. After the gun was set up, he kept silently staring at the bushes under the mound. Verricko 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, and Claude felt that his feet were standing numb, and there was still no movement around him. There was only a gust of wind passing through the bushes of the woods.

I was trying to move down the body, but it was poked a few times by Verricko, and turned to look at it, but I saw Vericello signaling him to look at a grass nest under the mound on the left. Look carefully, but see a gray rabbit stretching two long ears to look east, the mouth is still chewing on the grass.

Verricko 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 pillbox, and Crowder began to aim.

The rabbit is about 80 meters away from the mound. What makes Claude happy is that the rabbit has been left in place, but his head has not stopped, but his body has not moved.

When Claude felt very sure, he deducted the trigger. Even if it was nearly a hundred meters away, the gray rabbit seemed to hear something, and immediately raised his ears and listened carefully to the sound around him.

However, it is already alarming. The two shots of "Boom" and "Boom" are almost simultaneous, and both Claude and Verizro 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 disappointed: "No hit, let it run..."

Verricko was stunned: "He hit it, it didn't run away. We put the gun on the gun first, then went to the grass and searched, 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 stepped down the mounds step by step.

"Unfortunately we didn't bring the hound." Verricko suddenly sighed.

"Hounds?" Claude said that he heard from Verricko, they have 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?" Crowder 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 the rabbit back. But if you really bring a hound, maybe we don't even have a gun, my home. Big black, black, black, black, they can get the rabbit pheasant in this mountain forest to clean it..." Verricko said.

This is bragging, Claude said no.

"Really, I didn't lie to you." Verricko 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 of death. Usually catching a rabbit pheasant is not a problem, now the mountain near our home can not find a rabbit, they have been caught up."

"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 guarding. In the mountains, catching the rabbits and pheasants can get two or two, but they have not been trained. In vain, for example, when they enter the mountain, they will scream that the animals that can run have already run out..."

"Then, what do you think of playing rabbits and pheasants? Can you set traps and covers?"

"This... I think about it..." Verrickoe indulged for a while and said, "To say that you can catch rabbits and wild pheasants. In addition to using hounds, it is basically like shooting with us to hit the damage from a distance. It is only after they can be captured. 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 besides the target that is hit. Scared away.

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’ve heard that someone used the soaked spirits to sprinkle it on the bushes, and when the pheasant ate it, it would be drunk, and then go to the cockroach. 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.

Verricko said that he was aiming at the head. It must have been played by Claude. Claude could not be sure if he had hit it, but he still smiled at the gray rabbit and went home at night to explain it. This time, I can satisfy Mr. Morsan’s desire to eat rabbits.

Verizro 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?" Verricko asked.

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

"Can this catch pheasants and rabbits?" Verricko also squatted down to help make the cover, but he still doubted it.

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