26 The Hunt II (1/2)

Should she catch a bear or a tiger?

Somehow she was in a dilemma while finding for a prey and it's been an hour since she was walking and looking but no response. She's beginning to feel disappointed at herself. She was boasting awhile ago but now she's slump unto the grassy ground. She tried to collect any memories in her past life if there are something related to hunting. Since she was a wide reader when she was a student she came across different books with different topics.

For a moment she tried to lie down on the vast ground and stare into the clear blue sky....”so do you have any idea on how to hunt?” Lou Ren. He found her already. After a bloody battle of trying to loose him in the end he finds her. Now that he's here she felt a little embarrass. ” Of course! I was just resting for a whilewhile devising plan” she replied. Trying to act cool. However he seems doubtful of her. ”What about the plan???” He shot her with a questioning look.

She remembered when she was in high school, they have a assignment to create an essay about historical life of people and their living. After class she went straightto the library to read all books related to historical era and came up with a good paperwork. She never imagine that the time where she will thank her history teacher for giving that kind of assignment would come.

” Since I am short of the tools needed in hunting, I prefer to use the calling and snaring method” although since it's her first time conducting this experiment of her there would be a 99 percent possibility of going to fail. If worse comes to worse, and if she can't bring down a bear in one go, she'll be the one who'll be hunted by that bear.

All this will be decided by this plan of hers.

” Calling method is like imitating an injured prey, bears can hear call from distances up to miles and when they hear they will eventually respond, that's when we'll use the snaring method. In snaring method, there's a need of a lasso-like loop rope which will be hung across a path that the bear will thread. Its end will be tied to a rope.The bear will pass through the rope as it walks by and the lasso will be tightened around it's body as it continues to move, eventually the bear will be entangled with the rope that it can no longer move. That's the time when we will strike him in one blow.”

Trying to reenact her plan she find a tree where she can tied up the end of the rope.After she finish her trap she smiles proudly at him.

Hehehe.

So what can you say Lou Ren? Did you fall in love with me? Will you marry me now?

However that silly taught remain in her mind.

Calling a bear.Then how to sound like a weak pderey? That's her concern for now?

Well whatever? She'll try any sound she knows.

”Kwiiiik... kwiiiiik...kwiiiiiiiiik kwiiiiiiiiik kwiiiiiiiiik kwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii--- (cough cough cough)Kwiiiik kwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiik” now that was unintentional. Her throat begun to dry as she continued her disgraceful calling.

On the other party.

Xiao heard the unappealing sound and begun to wonder. He turn his head to the person close to him. ” What's that sound?” Xiang Xia who's intently listening to the sound answered ”I think it's the sound of frustrated crows”

They have almost at the top of the mountain that the path are beginning to be difficult to thread. They can't see the silhouette of a petite young girl anymore so maybe she has already given up and went back home. Well that's good. He just wished that she'd be disappeared on her way home.

*Back to Bai Shin Lin

The only one now in the area is her and Lou Ren. It seems that they've deviated from the group. At least for now Lou Ren was with her even though she tried to lost his way. She's pretty feeling bad for doing it to him now that she think of it. It will be scary losing your own way into the mountain not knowing what lies ahead. Plus when it becomes dark she sure knows that wild and devilish beast will start to make their appearance. Just imagining that night makes her shiver.

Still, no response from a prey.

But still she never gives up. She tried calling in all directions.

Something moves among the bamboo plants. She tried to call again. Clenching her fist she ready her body for the incoming encounter.

Then it all become visible to her. A giant black bear was crawling his way into her. And it's coming in a pretty fast motion. As fast as she can, she went near where the lasso-like rope is trying to lure the animal. It's almost there,...

A little push and it will be entangled...

Just a little....

One more Step...
