Upon hearing ng Si’an’s question, Yan Fei chuckled: "Just because it’s called the Western region, doesn’t an it has to live in the west, right?"
ng Si’an also realized his question was a bit silly, he hadn’t thought it through earlier and assud it was a type of cobra living in the west.
Heizi joked from the side: "A hot dog isn’t really a dog, and braised lion’s head isn’t really a lion’s brain."
While they were talking, Er Bao had already carefully used the clamp at the end of a long stick to pick up the snake. Then, he first covered the snake’s head with a small bag, tied up the bag’s opening, and finally put it into a large thick bag.
Yan Fei explained: "We didn’t usually eat these things before, but most of the snakes here are poisonous. Even if we don’t eat them, we have to deal with them; they can’t just be thrown around. After thinking about it, we might as well eat them, it’s at after all. These things have strong vitality; sotis even when their heads are almost blown off, they still want to bite you, so be careful."
ng Si’an already knew there were many poisonous snakes here, he didn’t expect that after coming out hunting, they didn’t catch anything but first caught a snake. He couldn’t help feeling scared: "Luckily, I ca out with you guys; otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to run around carelessly."
"That’s because our ranch is a bit big; if it were smaller and there were more people, these things would be fewer." Heizi said from the side.
Back on the road, Yan Fei listened for a mont and adjusted his direction slightly, continuing to move forward.
No one else spoke; Old Chen probably wanted to nd relationships and quietly introduced: "Follow Brother Fei, and you won’t return empty-handed from hunting. Brother Fei just has the knack for leading everyone to find ga."
Sure enough, they hadn’t gone far when they saw a grayish figure hopping in the grass. It didn’t run upon seeing the lights and even looked their way.
Seeing everyone else looking at him, Heizi reminded: "Quick, it’s a newcor rabbit, you’re really lucky."
Although ng Si’an didn’t understand what a newcor rabbit ant, he reacted, frantically raising his weapon. But sitting on a horse made him wobble, clearly having no hope.
As soon as the gunshot sounded, the rabbit fell down.
ng Si’an was imdiately excited: "I hit it, I hit it! Pretty cool, right Old Chen, do you admit it?"
Old Chen realized that he was indeed a newbie and saw no need to argue with him: "I admit it, I admit it!"
ng Si’an was still excited, while Heizi laughed: "It was Brother Fei who shot it, did you really think you could hit it? I’ve practiced for a long ti and still can’t do it; it’s hard to shoot while on a horse, you have to get down. Next ti you see one, quickly get down and hold steady. I’ve practiced so much and still am not as good as Old Cui, don’t be fooled by him being quiet, he’s actually secretly learning from Brother Fei!"
The usually silent Old Cui finally laughed when Heizi talked about him: "I just want to learn Brother Fei’s skills, so I won’t starve here."
Heizi teased him: "You just want to show off in front of your girlfriends, don’t you?"
Old Cui waved his hand: "What girlfriends, they’re all temporary. I haven’t gone out much in a while, and so have lost contact. I haven’t t one to marry yet, so I have to try several to know."
Er Bao dashed forward on his horse and used the special tool to hook the rabbit up smoothly. He tied it with a rope and hung it behind his horse.
ng Si’an, seeing this, knew that this group must have hunted frequently. Their skills were too proficient, even with that strange tool; initially, ng Si’an didn’t know what it was for.
Only now did he understand that it was for catching snakes and hooking rabbits. The key was that the pole was about two ters long; without so skill, it couldn’t be done so effortlessly.
He wasn’t wrong there; Heizi and Old Chen had a special passion for hunting, and Er Bao had almost beco their professional bodyguard. Old Cui was also a regular team mber. When they had nothing to do, these guys, sotis bringing so others, would go out hunting together.
As long as there were a lot of gas, they could always gain sothing when they went out.
Mostly because there wasn’t much entertainnt, especially after Old Cui had an incident last ti, they were even less inclined to drive to the town at night—because there’s nothing much to do there.
"Let’s go a bit further; that noise was a bit loud, so the little things in the other areas would have hidden." Yan Fei called out without waiting for Er Bao to return.
Then he turned to ng Si’an with regret: "It’s not often that you encounter new rabbits like that, and you wasted it."
Heizi began explaining to ng Si’an what a newcor rabbit was, and also explained why Yan Fei specifically used a small cannon with a silencer—which, by the way, wasn’t legally purchased.
Because they hunted so often, or rather because Heizi and the others hunted too much... no, it’s better to say the prey escaped too many tis, so now most of the prey they encounter, upon hearing weapon noises, imdiately run as far as they can.
Animals aren’t stupid; they used to be unafraid, but now with these guys shooting around, causing grass and soil to fly everywhere, not running would indeed be foolish.
And they also have opportunities to hit, so naturally over ti, the prey in this area becos wary.
For instance, rabbits that have never seen people—like the ’newcor’ rabbit just now—would be curious upon seeing lights, not realizing the danger at all. If it were a rabbit that had been shot at, seeing the lights would imdiately make it take off running.
