This is a classic story: A long time ago, there was a basin on the other side of the mountain. A dense forest grew in the basin, and various strange birds and animals lived in the forest.
The story begins with the three brothers of range, trend and shock...
1
Those who are tired of the monotonous and hard farming life of sunrise and sunset found this place, so they put down their hoes, picked up bows and arrows, and went to the forest to hunt. Yes, a lamb can be worth a year's harvest, and if you are lucky, you can hunt a rhino and get the precious rhino horn, and you can live a life of luxury, food, fame and wealth Life.
However, there are not only cute and docile birds, lambs, and deer in the forest, but also fierce and violent jackals, lions, and rhinos. .
Therefore, those hunters who came to the basin and broke into the forest with a dream in their hearts, nine out of ten have a miserable fate, some are scarred, some are missing arms and legs, and some are dead. . .
There is a village outside the mountain, and an old man lives in the village. The old man has three sons, all of whom are disabled. .
But these three disabled sons have become the three best hunters among all hunters. .
Boss is a cripple whose name is---interval
The second child is deaf, and his name is --- Homeopathic
The third child is blind, and his name is --- Concussion

They brought in a lot of prey, so many that even the emperor was envious. .
Of course the other hunters wanted to know how the three brothers hunted, so they went to ask for advice.
Zhang San found the boss, and the boss gave Zhang San a rabbit with a smile, but refused to say anything. .
Li Si found the second child, and the second child smiled and gave Li Si a pheasant, but refused to say anything. .
Wang Ermazi found the third child, and the third child gave Wang Ermazi a roe deer, but he still refused to tell. .
Yes, it’s the same if it’s you: the head can be cut off and the blood can flow, even if you are killed, you won’t say anything! It’s all over, what if the prey is gone?
Everyone is out of luck. .
What's wrong with this, these three brothers are as tight-lipped as revolutionaries, what should we do?
Some good people said: Go to the old man and ask.
Although the whole room was full of fellow villagers, the old man certainly refused to say, the three children are very filial, how can they cut off their own wealth?
Zhang San has a young daughter named Zhang Qiao'er, who is cute and well-behaved. The old man's three sons have not yet married, so this child from the neighbor's family is very happy to the old man.
Seeing that her father and mother were anxious, Zhang Qiaoer came forward and said to the old man, "Grandpa, grandpa, my father lost an arm because of hunting. Don't you feel sorry for Qiaoer? Just tell us." As he spoke, he took the old man's hand and acted coquettishly.
The old man refused to speak, and couldn't bear Qiao'er's coquettish behavior, so his face turned red and he bowed his head for a long time without saying a word. . . . .
Seeing that there was a turning point, everyone didn't dare to show their enthusiasm. For a while, except for Qiao'er who was still shaking the old man's hand, although there were many people in the room, there was no sound. .
After a cup of tea. .
After another cup of tea. . .
It was time for another cup of tea. . . .

The old man finally raised his head, let out a long sigh, and said, "Actually hunting is a craft, not an object. It is developed through practice. If you want to ask about the method, I'll just say it. Whether you can realize the truth is up to you." , What one realizes is one's own, and what others realize is always someone else's."
What did the old man say?
The old man said: "It's not good to follow the trend if you don't want to fluctuate in the range."
After speaking, the old man got up and left everyone behind, and entered the inner room. . .
The monks, who were two feet tall, couldn't figure it out, and the old man refused to utter a word, so they had no choice but to disperse.
Zhang San went home and couldn't sleep thinking, what nonsense? Is it not to hang strings when you don't see devils, or to scatter eagles when you don't see rabbits?
Li Si went home, unable to eat, thinking: It’s kind of interesting, but what does it mean? I heard that a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. ?
Hey, it seems to be the names of three brothers, could it be:
Isn't the third child who doesn't want to be the boss a good second child?
Wang Ermazi, unable to eat or sleep, thought: There must be a reason for this, what is it? One day I had a flash of inspiration, oh, the three brothers are disabled, it must be: the blind who is not lame is not a good deaf!
So, excitedly ran to ask the old man, the old man just shook his head. . .
This makes Wang Ermazi very worried. He doesn't think about tea and food. After many days, Hei has lost a lot of weight. He is still waiting for hunting to make money and marry a wife. Looks a lot more handsome.
Of course, some people like Chen Liu thought about it for two days and thought it was a joke, so they let it go, and it was time to go to the ground, eat, and sleep. . .
A day passed. .
Another day passed. . .
Another day passed. . .
No one understood the old man's words accurately. . . . .
Finally, the old man fell ill, and when he was dying, he called all the villagers and his three sons.
The old man said: "Don't guess, I'm actually talking about the three kinds of movement states and hunting methods of the prey. Simply put, it is not a good operation to follow the trend without paying attention to the big bottom and big top."
Then, the old man took the hands of the three sons and said, "You have been hunting for many years, please tell the villagers in detail..."
Before the sons could speak, the old man dropped his hands and left. . .
After finishing the old man's funeral, all the villagers washed their hands, ate food, made tea, sat around in the yard of the old man's house, and began to listen to the three brothers' hunting methods. . . .
The boss section lowered his head and pondered for a while, then slowly opened his mouth:
"In fact, everyone has watched me grow up and knows that I am not smart. When I first learned to hunt, I ran back and forth with the prey like others. I didn't catch many prey, but cut a lot of meat. Once, I mistakenly Everyone knows that a tiger is a lynx and loses a leg..."
There was silence in the courtyard, only the lantern flickering on and off.
"After the injury recovered, I thought I would never be able to hunt again, but I was not reconciled, so I sat on the mountain and watched all day long..."
"I can't do any farm work. I just sit on the mountain and watch the wild beasts running around. It's been a few years." The boss continued.
"Perhaps Emperor Tian pays off. After watching for a long time, I actually saw some tricks."

The boss's eyes shone with excitement, completely immersed in the past:
"I found that although the usual running of the beast is disorderly, the basin and the forest restrict him, so that they can only run in a specific range, and they always run to the side several times a year."
"I just thought, although I can no longer chase wild animals, I can stay on the sidelines and wait for the prey to come before I shoot them."
"It turns out that this method allowed me to hit a lot of prey. To commemorate this discovery, I changed my name from Dazhu to Interval."
At this time, Zhang San said: "What should you do if the prey runs out of the range?"
"You definitely don't know how far the prey can go in the end, otherwise it will be a god and not a human. And often the final momentum is the greatest. It is normal to rush out of the range I set, and it will be fatal, so I must take precautions."
said the boss.
"My precautionary measures have three points. The first is prudent judgment and choice," the boss said, "The second is to use the arrow clusters I carry in batches, and the third is to pay special attention to climate change..."
The boss lowered his head, not looking at the crowd, as if talking to himself.
"There will always be prey breaking through the range every year, but this is not a sufficient reason for you to make a move. Generally speaking, I need to meet three conditions before I make a move..."
There was silence in the yard, and everyone was fascinated by listening to it for a while. Usually, they only saw the boss sitting on the edge of the forest in a daze, looking like he was doing nothing, but he didn't expect that there was so much knowledge in it.
"The three conditions for me to shoot are: first, the prey has been moving in one direction for a long time, and the position has obviously exceeded the normal range of motion; second, there has been an obvious and strong one-way movement process, and it can be inferred Physical exhaustion of the prey; finally..."
Boss took a sip of tea
"It's the prey starting to slow down, stay or wander..." "Aren't such opportunities rare?" Zhang San interrupted suddenly.
"It's too little for you. For me, a person with limited mobility, three or four opportunities a year are enough."
"The important thing is that I don't work as hard as you do"
"Uncle, aren't you afraid when the animals rush over?" At this moment, Qiao'er, who had been nestling in her mother's arms obediently, asked.
"I'm afraid" the boss raised his head and looked at the starry sky, "That's why I use my arrow clusters in batches. Generally speaking, I divide the arrow clusters into ten or eight parts, and only shoot one for the first time..."
"How come there are so few?" Zhang San asked suspiciously
"Because I seldom get it right once, and usually there will be better opportunities later on. I must reserve arrow clusters for the next follow-up shot."
"Then why don't you wait for better opportunities to come up later?"
"No, because there are not many opportunities in the interval, and I also have to guard against the risk of missing it."
"Then how many clusters of arrows do you usually shoot in total?" Someone interrupted.
"If I carry a hundred, I'll limit myself to thirty"
"Why thirty?"
5
"Because if I'm wrong, I may lose twenty arrow clusters, and this part can't be counted. I have to keep twenty to protect myself, and I have to keep thirty to guard against completely unexpected things The roundabout when it happens, so it can't exceed thirty, this is my own experience."
"Then what do you mean by climate change?" Zhang San originally asked the boss for advice but failed, but when he got the opportunity, he was thirsty for knowledge and couldn't help asking.
"Oh, it's this one." The boss took out a map from his clothes, which showed the general shape of the forest. The boss spread the map on the table, and everyone gathered around.
"As the climate continues to warm, the range of activities of animals will continue to move upwards, that is, to the north, and sometimes it is particularly obvious"
"This point must be paid special attention to. When determining the range every year, the reference to climate change should be relaxed upwards and narrowed downwards. This year, an excellent hunter named Zi Tie suffered some injuries because he did not pay attention to this issue."
"You carry a hundred arrow clusters, but you hardly need fifty. Isn't that a waste?" Li Si asked again
"Don't waste." The boss smiled slightly, and then said solemnly: "The prey is endless, and there is only one life. I must guard against the situation where the tiger is once again regarded as a bobcat."
Everyone was silent for a while, only the autumn insects outside the courtyard wall were crying bitterly.
"Okay, here are my methods"
After the boss finished speaking, he picked up the tea, lowered his head and drank it slowly, without saying a word.
As soon as the boss stopped talking, in the quiet yard, the villagers who had been immersed in the boss's speech woke up like a dream and started whispering. Most of them expressed their great appreciation and shock.
Yes, everyone is a healthy person with arms and legs, but when it comes to hunting, they are no match for a disabled person with only one leg!
Originally, everyone was a little jealous of the boss's achievements, and always thought it was due to luck, but now they realized that those who achieve success must have their own advantages. It is hunting with brains, patience, and time. . . .
There is one exception, that is Li Si, because Li Si is not very interested in the method of the boss, what he is eager to know is the method of the second brother. Like most people, Li Si accepted the method of chasing prey at the beginning, but like most people, he was always bitten more often than catching prey, so he was very eager to know what the problem was. Where.
"Should I let the second brother talk about it?" Li Si stood up and suggested.
The second child is deaf and can't hear. Some folks who can speak dumb gestured to the second child (the same below)
The second child blushed, and said, "My method is actually used by everyone, and I don't quite understand why it doesn't work when I get to you. I've been busy these two days, so I don't have time to think about it, or... why don't I take it for a day. , think about it carefully?"
The boss stood up: "Folks, it's getting late, everyone is tired after a busy day, how about this, let's stop here today, everyone go back to rest, come here tomorrow to meet up, and give the second brother some time"
Everyone expressed their understanding, and went back to rest under the bright moonlight. . . .
Nothing to say all night.
