With the second gunshot, Ji Ma stood up, holding the gun, calling to Wei Ran and ran deep into the coniferous forest behind him. On the other hand, Akeem and others immediately realized the danger after the reindeer was shot. They lay on the snow and did not dare to show their heads at all.
Beyond the two sides, the bearded old man who was first sent out by Akeem was hiding behind a small slope, staring calmly through the scope. Two people running away hundreds of meters away.
Unexpectedly, after the old man put the sight of the scope on Ji Ma's back several times, he finally turned the gun and decisively pulled the trigger at his companion Akeem!
Amidst the clear gunshots, Akeem, who was urging him towards the desk, was immediately shot in the head, and the whole back of his head exploded and dyed the surrounding snow red.
The other three were stunned, and hurriedly got up and ran into the building behind them, but even the one closest to the door was dozens of meters away from the door when they fell.
After getting rid of his companions, the bearded old man was not in a hurry to chase Wei Ran and Jima. Instead, he strolled to Akeem's side and picked up the weapon he had been carrying with him. A can filled with gold dust was taken out of the backpack.
"Thank you for helping me dig for gold. I will avenge you."
The old man finished speaking in a pretentious manner, and calmly corked the can and bottle filled with gold sand. He put it into his bag, then shouldered his gun, followed the footprints left by Wei Ran and Jima, and chased after them calmly.
On the other side, after Ji Ma heard the first gunshot from behind, he immediately frowned and hid behind a waist-thick pine tree with Wei Ran.
"Something is wrong." Ji Ma raised the binoculars before the second gunshot. "It sounds like SVD!"
"It seemed that an old man used it yesterday. Is this a gun?" Wei Ran immediately pointed the gun at the person, "But who is he hitting?"
"It's blocked by the tree, but no matter who it is, let's change the direction. You go in front of me." After Jima finished speaking, he pulled out the ax from his waist, cut a pine branch from the pine tree, and cleaned the footprints left by the two of them as he walked.
Under the guidance of the former, Wei Ran quickened his pace. After they climbed over a hill with a height of only ten meters, Ji Ma actually took off his snowshoes and climbed up. A tall pine tree not far away.
"Victor, stay away." Ji Ma's voice came from the dense pine needles.
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately took a few steps back, and then saw a bulging sack thrown by the former from the canopy of the tree.
"What is this?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"The anti-tank mine in the animal trap! I designed it myself."
While Ji Ma was speaking, he had already come down from the tree quickly and opened the sack with an ax. "These are the animals I prepared for bear hunting in the summer," he explained.Clip, now it can only be used by the people behind us. ”
“You can’t beat someone into two at once?” "
Wei Ran's eyes widened as he watched Ji Ma take out four animal traps that were half the size of a washbasin from the sack. Each of the closely arranged steel teeth on them was It's the size of a matchbox!
What's even more exaggerated is that looking at the rocker Ji Ma wears on his belt, if he wants to open this horrible thing, he probably has to use that rocker like a simple jack. Just a rocker! How powerful is this thing? Is this thing just for hunting bears?
"Get two of them for me"
Jima But no matter how much he said, he stuffed the sacks into his backpack while talking. Even the snow on the tree trunks and the debris scattered around were carefully swept away with pine branches, and then he put the two pieces away. A pair of animal clamps connected by chains were placed on his shoulders.
Wei Ran, who was next to him, took one of the animal clamps with both hands. This animal clamp looked scary and weighed a lot. Each one was heavy. It weighs more than ten or twenty kilograms, and even the chain attached to it is as thick as a finger!
Carrying these two heavy things, Ji Ma continued to walk forward for hundreds of meters. He glanced behind him through the telescope and saw that the other party had not caught up for a while. He immediately placed a beast trap in the snow, then carefully sprinkled the snow on it. After carefully sweeping away the last traces with pine branches, he even removed it from the ground. He took off a metal button from his cotton coat and placed it on the snow next to him.
“Let’s go quickly! ”
After finishing all this, Ji Ma pointed in the direction and signaled Wei Ran to continue moving forward, but before he had walked twenty meters, he deployed a beast trap again.
This time, he even threw aside the pine branches he had been holding in his hand to clean up the traces. He called Wei Ran and ran in the direction chosen in advance.
The snowshoes were on their feet. Conspicuous traces were left on the soft snow, but Ji Ma didn't seem to care, as if he didn't worry about the people behind him catching up.
"We walked all the way to Inta? Wei Ran asked in a low voice, "If you continue walking in this direction, it seems that you will only get further and further away from Yinta." "
"Your sense of direction is pretty good," Ji Ma said in surprise, "I thought you were lost a long time ago. "
Wei Ran pointed to the dim sunlight above his head, "At least the sun is still there, can you still admit your mistake? Also, you haven't answered my question yet. ”
Jima simply stopped, opened a beast trap and placed it on the snow. Then he motioned to Wei Ran to press the latches on both sides and not let go. He stepped on the firing plate and left it. He left a conspicuous footprint, and then replaced Wei Ran, signaling him to step over the animal trap in the same normal gait. Then he unhurriedly pulled out the tenon and explained, "We are up to four kilometers ahead of us. There was a hunter's cabin where we went to hide out while we waited for someone to pick us up. "
"Do you want to call the police? "Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he noticed the mocking expression on the other person's face.
"Call the police? The police in this ghost place are not as reliable as gang members. Maybe if you hang up the police call, they will come to your door."
Jima snorted coldly, Carefully cover the extra footprints of the two people with snow, then take out a tape measure and measure it. On the left side of the footprints where they have not been stepped on, they dig a large enough hole horizontally from the side, and carefully remove the last animal trap. After stuffing it in and cleaning up the traces very carefully, he borrowed Wei Ran's scarf and lightly scratched the other side of the footprints a few times.
"Okay, let's go." Ji Ma returned the scarf to Wei Ran, quickened his pace and continued towards the so-called hunter's cabin.
Behind them, the old man with a gray beard had just climbed onto the small high ground where Ji Ma had hidden the animal trap.
After observing the faint traces on the snow, the old man snorted disdainfully, then raised his gun and observed the scene in the distance until he was sure that there was no weiran in the sight of the scope. He Ji Ma's shadow put away his gun angrily and continued to chase after the few traces left by the two men.
However, a hundred meters later, the old man suddenly retracted the steps he had taken, bent down and carefully looked at the button lying on the snow, and then picked up the snow and formed a ball. The snowball was thrown in front of him.
"Bang!"
With a series of crisp sounds of sparks and green smoke, the old man frowned and glanced at the animal trap that almost jumped, and subconsciously took a step back. .
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and picked up the beast clamp on his leg and gestured. Then he took out four SVD sniper rifle magazines from the bag and fired one round after another. After removing the bullet inside, he used two rolls of gauze strips to fix it to his legs together with the pine wood sticks cut from the surroundings. Finally, he picked up the animal trap again and compared it, and then he cut it from the surrounding pine trees. Using a wooden stick as a pathfinder, they continued to follow the traces left by the opponent.
When he saw the pine branches discarded by Ji Ma, he didn't even need to remove the animal trap, and went five or six meters to one side to avoid it. From then on, the traces left on the snow became more and more obvious, and the old man also accelerated his pace, and at the same time, he stared more intently at the clues left in the snow.
However, this time, his good luck was no longer there. When he was walking around a piece of footprints that had obviously been treated, he glanced at the traces of cleaning on the right side of the footprints and subconsciously turned to the left. He took a step forward and prepared to use the stick in his hand to trigger the animal trap. He had figured out the rules of Ji Ma's arrangement of the animal trap, and with the weight of the animal trap, the two of them probably couldn't carry a few of them.
However, just as he took the step to the left and stuffed it into the snow, with a crisp "click" sound, Ji Ma dug out the hole from the side and buried the last beast in the snow. The clamp was activated and bit the old man's left leg fiercely!
There was a crisp sound of "Pop!", and the heartbreaking pain immediately made the old man cry out in pain, and then he fell into the thick snow.
He struggled to break open the animal trap, but without the rocker Ji Ma had pinned to his backpack, the huge bite force would have prevented even a bear from trying to open it.
And even though he had been prepared before, this unexpectedly huge force not only caused the two empty magazines to be pierced by the steel teeth, but even the wooden stick further inside was broken into two. Festival. There was even blood oozing from the edge of the facing bone!
He tried to get up and dragged the animal trap that could not be removed and walked forward for two cloths. The pain and weight on his calf that could not be ignored made his gait become crooked, but fortunately, , at least the calf was not broken by that blow just now.
Frowning and looking at the animal trap that was biting him, the old man shook his head helplessly and could only limp to an arm-thick pine tree not far away. He swung his ax vigorously to chop down the tree while cursing and greeting the women in Jima's family.
Of course, Ji Ma didn't care about this. At this time, he was urging Wei Ran to speed up and rush towards the destination.
"Jima, how far is it still?" Wei Ran asked breathlessly. They had been running in the snow for half an hour, but they couldn't even reach the so-called hunter's cabin. No shadow was seen.
“Not far, not far.” Ji Ma wiped the sweat from his forehead, “It’s right in front, you can see it when you go around the hill!”
“ Let's go!"
Wei Ran gritted his teeth and continued to rush towards the small high ground not far away, while Ji Ma first looked back with his binoculars and saw no trace of his pursuers. , and then quickly caught up with Wei Ran.
After the two exhaustedly climbed up the hill and slid down the gentle slope on the other side, a low wooden house less than 20 square meters finally appeared in their left field of vision.
After cautiously walking around the wooden house, Ji Ma immediately used the key to open the padlock of the wooden house and greeted Wei Ran and walked in.
There are not many things in this wooden house, just a crudely made wooden bed, a stone fireplace, firewood stuffed under the bed, and pots and pans hanging on the wall.
Ji Ma knelt on the ground with his butt sticking out, and pulled out pieces of firewood from under the bed, and then pulled out an inconspicuous iron box from inside.
Opening the box, Wei Ran was surprised to find that in addition to a car radio, there was also a small hand-cranked generator inside!
Handing the hand-operated generator to Wei Ran, Ji Ma put the car radio in his arms, then took the gun and said, "Let's go back to the top of the hill, where the signal is best."
p>"When did you prepare this?" Wei Ran dropped his backpack and asked as he ran with the main generator in his arms and followed Jima.
"I have to be responsible for the safety of my guests."
Jima smiled and replied, "Since the first time I brought guests here to hunt, these things have been there. And almost every month I ask local friends to check it for me."
"Delicate hair"
Wei Ran muttered, and followed Ji Ma's footsteps, struggling to climb up the small dirt bag that he had just slipped off.
"You generate electricity"
Ji Ma skillfully connected the power supply to the generator. When Weiran started to shake the handle and the green light came on on the generator, he turned on the radio. power, tuned to a familiar frequency and started calling.
In less than a minute, there was actually a response on the radio channel! Next, Jima communicated with the other party in slang that Wei Ran couldn't understand, and then simply turned off the radio.
"Okay, just wait, the other party will arrive in two hours at most."
"Does that mean there are people listening to this channel all the time?" Wei Ran asked in surprise. .
“Remember the grocery store where I rented a car, right?”
Ji Ma looked directly at Wei Ran, “We hunters who bring guests here to play, each one He has to be paid five thousand rubles a month to listen to the radio station, and he has to pay an additional one hundred thousand rubles for each rescue."
"I understand, I will pay for it. Right?" Wei Ran asked helplessly.
"Generous and smart Chinese people" Ji Ma didn't know whether it was a joke or a compliment. Before Wei Ran could say anything, he had already slid down the small high ground again with the radio station in his arms.
After the two returned to the hunter's cabin and waited for more than an hour, the roar of the engine came from far away, and seven or eight snowmobiles leaped out of the dense forest, making beautiful flicks one after another. Stopped in the open space at the door of the hunter's cabin.
It wasn't until the men and women on the motorcycle carrying various rifles and even shotguns got off that Ji Ma, who had been holding the gun against the window, opened the car door.
"The ticket is one hundred thousand rubles, and you need cash." The grocery store owner who had been waiting at the door for a long time spoke, and at the same time, he took off his cotton hat and extended it to Jima and Wei Ran.
Seeing Ji Ma nodding towards him, Wei Ran put several large tickets he had prepared in advance into his hat.
The amiable grocery store owner glanced at the cash in his hat, and with a slight bow, he put the hat directly on his bald head, "Boys, get in the car, we'll probably You can get to Inta in an hour."
"By the way, help us arrange a hotel and dinner." Ji flattered a female hunter on her snowmobile and hugged her while she laughed and scolded her. He grabbed the female hunter's waist.
"No problem, the best hotel in Inta and the best dinner." After the grocery store owner finished speaking, after Wei Ran also got on the snowmobile, he immediately turned the accelerator and was the first to rush off. go out.
