1172. Do not learn not to learn (3)
Lazhong has been patiently looking for traces left by his prey. After discovering something, he explained to his son in detail that Doma was a kind boy and introduced him to Ao Muyang.
Ao Muyang followed him over and took a look, and then he didn't want to listen to La Zhong's guidance.
There are several footprints on a wet land, which are slender fork-shaped. According to his rich chicken raising experience, they discovered a pheasant...
If he wanted to catch pheasants, why did he have to do so much trouble? He just sent the general and the head of state. Every time he brought a few hairy children up the mountain, how could he not catch pheasants and rabbits?
But after being scolded by his son, Lazhong had the idea of passing on what he had learned to Ao Muyang. He saw Ao Muyang turn his head and leave, thinking that the latter was avoiding something, so he asked Doma to call him over.
Next, Lazhong explained to Doma in Tudi, and translated it to Ao Muyang.
"To become an excellent hunter, you must first hone your eyes. There are countless clues in the mountains and forests. They are complex and complex. Some are left by prey, while others are left by wind, rain and snow. Therefore, the first step is to find valuable things from endless traces..."
"There are many clues, and it is difficult to find them. Once some of them appear, you need to pay more attention, such as some footprints, such as some feces. Footprints of varying depths can reveal information about prey, and feces of different new and old can tell you the direction of prey..."
Lazhong lay on the ground and pointed at his footprints and measured it with his fingers. After another conversation, Doma translated: "From the shape of the footprints, this is left by a pheasant. Judging from the size of its footprints, it is an adult pheasant, weighing about three pounds, and it should be a rooster!"
Following the footprints left by the pheasant, Lazhong found another piece of half-dried chicken shit, and then he pinched it and sniffed it carefully in front of his nose. Ao Muyang took a breath of cold air: After smelling it, Lazhong licked it again!
Oh my god, Lao Ao immediately decided not to study.
But Lazhong quit. He must teach Ao Muyang this to express his gratitude to the village.
Doma didn't want to learn, but he was familiar with his father's irritable temper, so he had no choice but to pinch a small piece of chicken manure and sniff it, and lick it. After he finished licking, Lazhong said to Ao Muyang: "Village Chief, Ni Lai!"
Ao Muyang scratched his chin and pretended not to understand, frowned and spread his hands, saying, "sorry, sir, i-don't-kno!"
La Zhong couldn't understand English. He didn't even know that Lao Ao was speaking English, and he was immediately confused.
This is Lao Ao's purpose, creating the illusion that he cannot communicate.
Unfortunately, there is a Doma around me. Now the school has been teaching English since the first grade of elementary school. In addition, Doma used to go to school in Zhalong, and the students who came to teach college students from the city. They were even more excellent in English and taught them early, so he understood simple English.
After hearing Ao Muyang's words, he smiled brightly: "Uncle, Village Chief, why do you speak English? My dad asked you to lick the chicken shit. He wanted to teach you how to judge the time of prey defecation through the changes in taste and touch."
Ao Muyang waved his hands repeatedly: "Tell you, my father, the village chief, I respect other people's privacy the most, and the customs of ethnic minority compatriots. I still don't learn this kind of tracking technique."
Doma said, "You learn it, the village chief uncle. This skill is very useful, and the chicken shit tastes good, it is not too smelly, it is just a bit stinky."
Ao Muyang continued to wave his hand, and he simply ordered that the general and the wolf, big wolf, and the wolf, would run out like a wind. It took only five or six minutes. Lang Er ran away and held a pheasant in his mouth.
"So, why should I learn tracing?" He handed the pheasant to Lazhong and refused to learn it. Who knows what else to do later?
But for hunters, this skill is indeed very necessary.
They took the pheasants and continued to walk into the forest. After a while, they found several more hoof prints. Lazhong glanced at them and pointed at them and said that there were wild goats around. To be precise, this jungle should be the habitat of wild goats.
Ao Muyang asked him the reason, and he pointed to the hoof prints on the ground and said that it was a trace left by the sheep's hoof. Several hoof prints were left by the same goat. One of them had been left for a long time, but the other hoof prints were very new, which was left in the past two days.
Doma lay on the ground and studied it for a while and smiled, "Really, look, there is a layer of spider web on this pair of hooves. It was indeed formed a long time ago."
As for why it was said that it was left by the same wild goat, La Zhong said that it was judged by his experience and could not be explained. Many things in tracking require a hunter to fully utilize his visual hearing and even smell to discover them, and some things require a long practical process to accumulate experience.
At this time, he also told Ao Muyang and Doma a story in the history of the Zhalong tribe. The story took place nearly half a century ago. At that time, Zhalong had just been under the jurisdiction of the New China, and the Tibet area was still very chaotic, and the country had to send troops to suppress the bandits.
At that time, a group of vicious bandits who killed and robbed people appeared in the place where the Zalong people lived. After the army encircled and suppressed them, the bandits were eventually defeated and the bandit leader was captured.
But the bandit leader was very powerful. At night, he took advantage of the rain and ran away from the cliff behind the camp. The cliff was more than ten meters high, so he jumped down.
It was raining heavily at that time, and the soldiers of the army were helpless and could not find anyone along the footsteps. At this time, a prey named Yongzhong in the village volunteered to lead the team to search. He followed the bandit leader's footsteps through dense forests, streams and mountains. He chased for three consecutive days. Finally, he captured the bandit leader who had been handcuffed and shackled and thought he was safe and sound in a cave.
At that time, the army praised Yongzhong's ability. The people in the surrounding villages called Yongzhong Tamci, which means half a god in the mountains and forests. A leader of the army made an exception and attracted him into the team, and later he was asked to be an instructor, specializing in teaching the special forces' tracking.
When talking about this story, La Zhong looked proud. He said that he was the descendant of Zhong and had the blood of Zhong.
However, he was not boasting. Under the leadership of Lazhong, they really found two half-large wild boars in the afternoon.
Lazhong took out his bow and arrow to hunt the two wild boars. When Ao Muyang saw the marks on the wild boar's ears, he knew that it was placed in the mountains to improve the ecosystem in the village, so he tried his best to scare away the wild boars.
This made La Zhong very disappointed. The Zalong man was straightforward and could not hide anything with sweet words. He clearly told Lao Ao: You are a loser. I won’t take you to hunt in the mountains in the future.
Ao Muyang brought lunch with him. At noon, they found a corner of the deserted slope to cook. Lao Ao personally started and stewed the pheasant into a fragrance that Lazhong and his son had never eaten.
