Chapter 3: The Yellow Skinned Grave (below)
Hunters hunting these three sets of methods, only can not deal with the thick-skinned human bears, the last time we encountered human bears in Lama ditch, nearly lost their lives, so now swallow mentioned the threat of human bears, I also hit a sudden heart, but then said: “listen to the fresh-water crayfish crayfish, or not planting the land? The bears are not invulnerable, and at night they are hiding in the bear cave, let’s take advantage of the darkness to touch on the mountain group to set a few yellow skinned and then come back, what is the risk, don’t forget that our team is invincible.”
Fatty in the side of the anxious stomping feet, and urged us to set off, the revolution does not distinguish between morning and evening, but only strive for the day and night, in my persuasion, Swallow finally agreed, in fact, she also very much want to go to the set of yellow skins, only the words of the old branch secretary in Tuen Mun is still relatively prestigious, need to be done to get through her thinking, to help her to overcome this psychological obstacle.
Forest hut outside the day is very cold, the snow is no longer falling, the big moon white oozing, but the moon halo foretells that there will be a heavy snowfall in the near future, the depression in the mouth of the wind whistling mountain winds, in the distance it sounds like mountain ghosts in the whimpering mournful tears, I came from the Tuenzi forest, has been determined to set the idea of the yellow skins or foxes, should bring the guys have brought, a group of three people borrowed the moon to the woodland of the riverside.
The river has been frozen, the ice is a layer of snow, standing on the riverbank, from the river more than ten meters, you can hear the sound of the river under the ice ding dong flow, because it is “catching the winter drought”, halfway through the fall, suddenly there is a cold snap, so the river is frozen very not solid, directly step on the ice across the river will certainly fall into the ice holes, the safest way is to The safest way to cross the river is to step on the logs frozen in the river.
Moonlight reflecting the thin snow, silver ramp, the river rises a long horizontal wood, are not transported to the downstream in time, temporarily frozen in the river wood, stepping on the log even if the ice cracked, the buoyancy of wood will not let a person sink into the river.
Look at the river is not too wide, really across the river, only to find that the river is definitely not narrow, we three will be the distance to open, a root stepping on the wood step by step, because it is cold and wear heavy clothes, the footsteps have become very heavy, under the feet of the broken ice clattering clatter clattering, although thrilling, but I do not know why, the heart is not afraid, on the contrary, some excitement, the bone that kind of adventure impulse can not be resisted, feel that this kind of Behavior can be really exciting.
After the river is the local hunters in the eyes of the forbidden land Mission Hill, this mountain forest is too dense, Swallow is not sure into this forest can still come out, although we are bold, but also do not dare to venture into the good in the “yellow skin graves” is at the foot of the Mission Hill, not far from the river, where there is a large raised mound, above the grass does not grow, mound There are countless holes on the mound, large and small yellow skins are hiding inside, probably because the mound like a grave, inside and often have yellow skins, so it is called “yellow skins grave”.
We did not walk directly on the “yellow skin grave”, in the neighborhood to find a piece of windy red pine forest, here is downwind, yellow skins and all kinds of beasts on the mountain will not smell our tracks, it seems that this is a natural best “ambush point”, I put the fat man and I greeted Fatty and Swallow, and the three of us squatted behind a tree to figure out how to do it.
Fatty went out from the tuns to the two kettles of soil burning, soil burning is the home brewing pot brewing wine, just in the forest hut when installed in the military kettle simmering hot, when crossing the river has been in the arms of the tucked, this time to take out, surprisingly, with a little bit of hot breath, I look at his drink mouth slippery, have to come over to drink a few mouthfuls of wine, this wine is sweet not to instigate, to be more difficult to drink how hard it is difficult to drink, it may be the use of pods of pith and grain stalks out of the whole of the earth burnt. The fat man said: “Don’t pick it.
The fat man said: “Do not pick and choose four, and drink two mouths of it, warm and warm good work, there is this kind of soil burns wine has been very good, we are in the ravine so a few acres of thin land, which have extra grain brewing ah, but I still have a whole bottle of good wine brought from home, and so on sets of yellow leather, I have to do a good job of the whole dish, let’s drink a couple of cups of relieve fatigue. ” Then the fat man asked me how to set the yellow skin?
I hehehe smile, from the satchel out of an egg, a little embarrassed to the swallow said: “I’m sorry for the swallow, I see your home rutabaga chicken laid two eggs today, I will go along to borrow one, time is tight task urgent, so I have not yet had time to report to you, but I later thought for the foxes and the yellow skins, the egg is really too extravagant, so I pulled out a handful of chicken feathers from rutabaga chickens again. A handful of chicken feathers ……”
Swallow was so angry that she fiercely whacked me on the shoulder: “You stole the eggs and that’s the end of it, why do you still pull the chicken feathers from my family’s reeds and flowers chicken!” Fatty hurried to discourage: “We want to fight not martial arts, go back I let this grandson write a check, digging deep into the root of his thinking the wrong motives, but at the moment we still first let him confess how to take the chicken feathers set of yellow skin.”
I said the set of yellow skin is actually the simplest, the smell of chicken feathers can provoke the gang of slanderous ghosts restless, swallow her father is a set of foxes old hands, the old hunters have ancestral “skin mingtun”, making “skin mingtun” of this craft has been lost, “skin mingtun”, “skin mingtun”, “skin mingtun”, “skin mingtun”, “skin mingtun”, “skin mingtun”, “skin mingtun”, “skin mingtun”, “skin mingtun”. “skin mixed ton” is actually true to its name, is a special leather pockets, legend has it that this inside in the production of leather under the secret drug, the most sensitive sense of smell foxes can not smell it smells different, this bag has a six-pronged mouth can only be in can not be out of the mouth, the outer mouth is round, can be retracted, the fox and the yellow skins can be drilled into it, to the inner drill If this mouth with a secret buckle, like a general elasticity of the larger the drill, but the bag inside the mouth of the bag, is hexagonal, special card yellow skin of the bone seam, this animal’s body can shrink, but only can not drill hexagonal holes, easy to get out of the difficult, as long as it is drilled out, the mouth of the bag will tighten the card until it dies. The reason why “skin mingtun” is brilliant, because it can be intact to preserve the prey fur, such as fox skin is worth looking at the tail, but in case the set of sets and traps hit the fox’s tail, the fox skin is not worth money.
Tuenzi now only Yanzi family only have a pair of “skin mingtun”, her ancestors are hunters family, this “skin mingtun” do not know how many years, dead in it inside the yellow skin and fox simply can not be counted, because this guy is too poisonous and ruthless, indiscriminate! A catch an accurate, hunters and the most taboo to catch those pregnant or with young prey, so do is considered very unlucky, so swallows his father easily do not use. But I have long wanted to try this rumored god of “skin mingtun” is not good, this time also secretly brought out.
Chicken feathers coated with some egg white in the skin bag as bait, the rest of the egg yolk poured into the empty kettle, can not afford to give the yellow skins to eat, of course, can not afford to throw, but also have to stay back to eat scrambled eggs, and then camouflaged with withered leaves, sprinkled with some of the snow on the top of the wipe, and finally swept away with branches and left the human footprints and smell, this set is completed, the rest of the thing is to observe from afar to see which the unlucky yellow skins! to be fooled.
We camouflaged “skin mixed ton”, back to the red pines after waiting hard, but the mountain forest snow quiet always no movement, the moon in the middle of the sky, I am losing patience, this time on the snow mound finally had a movement, I and fat man, swallows, three immediately came to the spirit of the heart, I fixed my eyes to look at the heart of the heart immediately ate a shock, my God, this is a yellow skinned grave into the essence. I was immediately shocked, my God, this is the yellow immortal nun who became a spirit in the yellow skin grave.
