My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 154

   "Woo...woooo..."

  The hunters in Kinmen Village were also alerted and came out of the cave. After the dozen or so hounds they brought ran out of the cave, they didn't bark loudly, they just roared at the forest, their eyes were extremely fierce.

  Chen Ling and the dogs on their side are no exception.

  Heiwa and Xiaojin took the lead. The group of dogs bared their teeth and frowned. They slowly lowered their bodies, roared in a low voice, and approached the forest. This was a gesture ready to attack at any time.

And the pair of green eyes in the woods are also constantly approaching here, as if they are not afraid of the dogs at all. The rapid barking sounded like a group of puppies barking without opening their eyes.

   looks very weird at night.

   "Huh? Listening to this voice, it's not a wolf?"

"What it is?!"

  The crowd became suspicious for a while, and became more and more alert.

  Chen Ling has already seen the appearance of this group of things in the forest.

   They are really not wolves.

It is a group of creatures that are like wolves but not wolves. The heads are thinner than wolves, and they look like three or four parts of foxes. They are covered in red and long hair, dark red in color, and have long tails. There are more than 20 of them. He kept waving his nose and approached here.

   What makes Chen Ling strange is that he did not see the kind of fierce light in the eyes of these strange creatures, similar to the hunting of wolves...

   When he was in doubt, Liu Guangli who was not far away suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li Xian, rich and noble, don't be afraid, this thing is not a wolf, but a dog."

   "We have a lot of guns and a lot of hunting dogs, so just drive them away."

   After saying this, he called the hound back, then led the four behind him, raised his guns to face this group of 'dogs', and walked into the woods while fighting.

boom! Boom!

  Chen Ling and the others did not lag behind, they raised their guns and started shooting.

They had seven shotguns on their side, and Kinmen Village had five, adding up to 12. This is definitely not a small battle. The group of 'dogs' originally saw someone approaching, but the few in front jumped abruptly. It was about a meter high and rushed towards the person, but then the gun rang out, and then a shrill scream came out, thumping to the ground, rolling around on the ground, one by one humming and chirping with their tails between their tails and fleeing. into the deep forest.

   "This is what the old people often say about picking up dogs? Don't they say they are more vicious than wolves? Why were they beaten away so easily?"

   Chen Ling hadn't been able to fire a few more shots, and it was incredible that this group of dogs had disappeared.

   Last time there were no more wolves than this group of dogs, and even if they were beaten by a shotgun, they were still entangled for a while.

Liu Guangli nodded when he heard the words: "This thing is indeed fiercer than wolves, but thieves are clever, ghosts and ghosts, and they are very slippery. Once they know that they can't do it themselves, and how many prey are placed in front of them, they will immediately run away. far."

   "Your baby still seldom goes into the mountains..."

Wang Lixian also said: "If you want to go into the mountains alone in the future, you must pay attention to this thing. Even if you bring a dog, you must be careful. Picking up a dog is much darker than a wolf's heart. If you meet in the mountains alone If you pick up a dog, then you have to cheer up. Generally speaking, it is for you to see on purpose, so as not to let your eyes look elsewhere. In fact, there are at least two or three at this time. The dog is hiding behind you or somewhere else..."

   "This thing has a vicious temper. If you let them know that you are easy to bully, don't try to get rid of it."

   "They run fast and jump high. Trees two or three meters wide, and ditches four or five meters wide are nothing to them."

   "Once a single person is targeted by them, it is basically impossible to get out of the mountain."

   "When there was a famine in the past, I went into the mountains, and I sent them to come. When I went out, there were more than half of the people, and many of them were eaten by the dogs."

   "At that time, when people saw something, they scrambled to eat it, and eventually they all got separated. Unlike us, they were easy to be stared at by pickpockets after they got separated..."

   After Wang Lixian said this, Chen Ling was nothing, but the other young people were all scared and sweating.

  You look at me, I look at you.

   Just thinking about the scene of a person entering the mountain and encountering a dog, can't help but shiver with soft legs.

   "But, but, I look at them like dogs, how can they still climb trees?"

   "Yeah, they can definitely climb trees. Or how about this thing is better than wolves? They can climb mountains, burrow through forests, cross rivers, climb some small trees, and are very flexible..."

   "This wolf, tiger and leopard, the dog is a jackal, and the first one, do you think it is serious?"

   The young boys were stunned and speechless for a long time.

Pa Gouzi is also called Jackal Gouzi. In fact, it is a jackal, a jackal, a wolf, a tiger, a leopard, a jackal and a wolf. It is not that they are more powerful than the other two, but that these two types appear more frequently in the range of human activities. The danger is greater than the other two.

   As for why it is called Pagouzi, it means that this thing is cunning and cunning, and likes to attack the **** of prey.

In the past, when they went outside the village to attack the grazing cattle, it was often one or two who went to the cattle to harass them. The other jackals went behind the cattle and scratched with their paws. When the cattle felt itchy, they raised their tails and immediately Jump on the cow's back, attack the cow's asshole, and dig it out with his teeth and claws.

   When faced with an enemy who attacked in three ways, no matter how angry the cow was, it would eventually be gutted and humiliated to death.

   So people call it a dog.

Chen Ling has heard a lot of stories of picking up dogs. This is the first time I have seen them. In fact, jackals are becoming less and less common. Now they can still be seen in the deep mountains, and they will basically not be as close to humans as before. went to the village.

   The Pagouzi on their side belongs to the Qinling jackal, and there is also a Sichuan jackal, which is a domestic jackal group belonging to two major categories.

   was once extinct.

   "Then, bring more dogs when you go into the mountains, just like we brought more than 20 dogs this time, can you beat them?"

   The young people were frightened and asked.

   This does not require Liu Guangli and Wang Lixian to speak, Chen Ling can answer them.

   "With few people and few guns, it is useless to bring more dogs. Our dogs are honest and can't play with them."

   "Unless you meet two or three dogs, but with their cunning, if you see a lot of dogs, two or three won't show up at all."

  The habits of jackals are actually similar to those of hyenas in Africa.

   There is sinister and cunning blood in his bones.

   After staring at the prey, ambush, harassment, containment, and sneak attacks are omnipotent. Ordinary hunting dogs are indeed unable to play with them...

"Your uncle Fugui is right. It's not scary to pick up dogs alone. If there are a group of dogs, even if there are a dozen or so, if you don't encounter hunters with many people and guns like us, there is nothing to provoke in the mountains. , if the wolf sees it, he will also take a detour."

   Wang Lixian said in agreement.

   "It's done, don't scare the dolls, it's scary and scary. When you go to the mountains in the future, there's no need to burrow into the deep old forest."

  Liu Guangli packed up the gun, whistled and called the dog back: "Go back to sleep, keep your spirits up, and after dawn, if you are lucky, you should be able to pick up meat."

   "Huh? Picking up meat? What does this mean?"

  The young boys were dumbfounded again.

Wang Lixian said: "Pa Gouzi smelled the blood of our prey and touched it. Now that we have driven them away, they will definitely have to find something to eat. They like to eat the heart, lungs and intestines of wild animals. After hollowing out, the rest of the meat is generally not needed."

   "Let's follow the footprints, and if we are lucky, we can indeed pick up meat."

"This…"

   "Is this still possible?"

   "Haha, it's an eye-opener, go to sleep now, you won't come back if you slap the dog and run away, sleep peacefully, and get up early to pick up meat."

  …

   The night passed peacefully.

  Wake up early in the morning, the golden red sun has already climbed to the top of the mountain.

   "Uncle Li Xian, I didn't expect Pa Gouzi to come back? It's so peaceful in the middle of the night..."

   "Well, after Pagouzi was driven away, they stopped coming. They often came to test it out, knowing that if they couldn't beat them, they wouldn't provoke them again. That's what they do."

   "Let's go, it's sunny, let's go and see if there is any meat from wild animals to pick up?"

   "Walk around and pick up meat."

  Everyone was immediately invigorated.

  I ate quite a bit yesterday, and I wasn't hungry in the morning, so I packed up my things, led by Liu Guangli and Wang Lixian, and followed the trail of the jackal.

   Not long.

  The crowd went down to Mopanling.

The trail of    the jackal became less and less obvious until it finally disappeared.

   "Damn, strange, where did they go?"

   Liu Guangli muttered with a black horse face.

  Then let the hounds smell it, but it didn't get any better.

   "Dogs can't smell it either, don't jump over the river, it's hard to chase..."

   "Uncle Guangli, don't worry."

  Wang Lixian smiled at him, then nodded to Chen Ling: "Fugui, let Uncle Guangli see the ability of our village dog king."

   "Haha, what is the dog king not the dog king..."

  Chen Ling also laughed, whistled, and took Heiwa and Xiaojin to smell the footprints of the jackal.

   Sure enough, the two dogs immediately locked on the smell while the person next to them was talking.

   trotted towards the northwest of Mopanling.

   "This is where I found Sao?"

   Liu Guangli blinked his eyes quickly, a little in disbelief.

   Looking for Sao is also a slang term for running mountains, that is, when the hunting dog smells the smell of prey and can chase it all the way, it is called looking for Shang Sao.

  Training and training hounds.

   usually starts with looking for a show.

  The hunting dogs in Kinmen Village have been trained to look for pranks since they were young. For this reason, they have caused many calamities to chickens and ducks in other people's homes, but it is really powerful to go into the mountains to look for prey.

  Liu Guangli really didn't believe it. The hounds raised in their village couldn't compare to this untrained dog.

  Old hunters like him are very stubborn.

   They trust their intuition and experience more.

   "Uncle Guangli, if you don't believe it, just come and have a look."

  Chen Dazhi said with a smile, then turned around and followed Chen Ling with the dog.

   "Follow, let's go, let's go too, see if this dog is a tiger's head yellow..."

The crowd followed Chen Ling's two dogs for a while, and they came across a river valley. Going around the river valley was a steep slope. After crossing the steep **** and passing through a large bamboo forest, it was a claw-shaped mountain range named Eagle Claw Ridge.

   Got here and walked a short distance up the ridge.

   Sure enough, we found traces of jackals on this sunny hillside. The footprints of jackals are very similar to those of dogs, but they often live in the mountains and run in a different way. The distance between steps is smaller than that of dogs.

   "Good guy, there really is a smell of urine and dog hair..."

  Liu Guangli bent down and picked up a few dark red animal hairs from the dead bark of a tree and showed them to everyone.

   Then looked at the two big dogs beside Chen Ling with a very surprised look: "What a powerful dog, you can find Sao at such a distance, just for this ability, it is already more powerful than Hutouhuang."

   "I believe it, now I believe it..."

   "I really don't know how your baby raised this dog."

   Everyone in Chenwangzhuang burst into laughter when they heard this.

   all feel proud.

   Not only that, but one by one also wanted to touch two dogs.

   Heiwa and Xiaojin heard their praise, although they were very proud, but they wouldn't let ordinary people touch them.

   "Haha, this dog is not only smart, but also quite domineering, covering up the smell of **** from the dog..."

   Liu Guangli laughed immediately after seeing it, and the more he looked at the two dogs, the more he liked them.

  Then followed the two dogs and walked up the hillside for about a hundred meters, and everyone saw a piece of grass that had been trampled and planed.

   A group of dogs ran over, sniffing back and forth, barking.

   "Li Offering?"

   Liu Guangli looked back.

Wang Lixian nodded and squatted down to take a closer look: "This is left by a wild boar. It looks like it was walking up the mountain. It's not too long. Judging from the footprints, I guess there are three wild boars, one male and two females. Pigs, the males are about 300 jin, and the two females are about the same size, maybe just over 100 jins..."

   "Well, as I thought, let's go, let's just follow the past, even if we can't pick up the leftover meat from the dog, we won't be running for nothing if we hit these three wild boars."

  Liu Guangli clapped his hands and stood up with a happy expression on his face.

  Chen Ling was by his side, listening and learning, just waiting for the opportunity to enter the mountain by himself.

   As for encountering wolves and jackals alone, he is not afraid, and he can be put into the cave by physical contact with him. Once inside the cave, isn't that at his mercy?

   Besides, he is not stupid, he will not go into the mountains with his bare hands.

Perhaps because he knew Chen Ling's father, Liu Guangli was also very close to him: "Fugui, follow the two of us and study carefully. With such two big dogs, you should come to the mountains more often. As long as you are familiar with it, running mountains is like eating and drinking water to you..."

   "Uncle I know, I wrote it down."

"Just write it down. When I leave the mountain, I will give you the formula of strychnine ointment, and I won't be afraid of them when I encounter a dog, just add two herbs, light a fire, set up two traps, and dare to come forward. Just poison them with a few big somersaults, hahaha…”

   Talking and laughing, everyone walked along the ridge to the place where the three claws converge on the Eagle Claw Ridge. Liu Guangli called Chen Ling to him and asked him to identify the traces of wild animals on the tree.

  Chen Ling stepped forward and took a closer look. It was a sturdy pine tree. The bark was damaged and peeled off in many places, giving off a strong pine fragrance. The hair and marks left by wild animals are heavy.

   "Uncle Guangli, this is the scratch of a wild boar."

   "Still scratching? Those of you who have read books know how to use words, but you are right, this is where the wild boar scratches its itch, and coming here proves that we are not far from it."

Liu Guangli scratched his forehead, then pointed to a place next to him and said, "Follow the place where I'm pointing now, if you see it, it's here, no matter which way the wild animals take to return to the mountain, they will eventually return to their old nest on this road. …”

Then, let Chen Ling look at the north and south sides of Yingclaw Ridge. There is a grassy **** on the sunny **** in the south. At the end of the grassy **** is a forest, and the east and west of the forest are cliffs. Wild animals must not be able to. go to that place...

   So it must be in the shade on the north side.

  The two dogs of Chen Ling's family also verified this statement.

   On the beast road that Liu Guangli pointed out earlier, this part of the ridge bifurcates and goes around the shady slope. Not only are there many traces left by beasts, but according to the hoof prints, the size of the prey is also relatively large.

   As usual, Heiwa and Xiaojin led the group of dogs to walk in front, and everyone followed behind, and went around to the other side of the hillside. It didn’t take long for the dogs to bark.

  Liu Guangli and Wang Lixian looked at each other, stepped forward and looked: "Hahaha, I finally found it."

   "Come rich and noble, your dog has made a great contribution this time."
