Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 130 Ingot Hunting Badger (Second Change)

The mountains during the day and the mountains at night are definitely two completely different worlds.

Even if he walked through it once last night and walked again during the day, Lu Lu could only roughly estimate the location of the earth hole, his head seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil, which was a bit hazy.

If it's by yourself, go find the location of the badger's soil cave, get the hillside forest and search carefully.

However, Yuan Bao was different. When he caught the badger's scent again, he got Lu Lu's permission and immediately rushed in with the three pups.

Lu Lu followed the voice and went straight to the cave.

Seeing Yuan Bao sniffing and screaming at the entrance of the cave, quickly digging up the soil with his front paws, he knew that the badger was hiding in the soil cave, and he hadn't changed his place because of the disturbance last night.

Badgers are nocturnal animals, and they sleep in holes during the day. Digging a deep hole to hide is not an easy task. They will not give up easily unless they are severely damaged.

After resting next to him, Lu Lu got up and looked around Badger's cave.

Usually, newly built badger burrows generally have only one mouth.

But as the inside expands, two, three, or even more openings slowly expand.

If there are other openings, things will be simple. Find some grass blades to ignite, and use the flame to force it out from another exit. Set a net bag at the opening and catch it easily.

If there is no other opening, things will be a little troublesome. The tunnels excavated inside the cave turn and turn, and some are layered. Spaces with different functions are built inside. Like a small maze, it is not easy for fire smoke to enter. You have to use a planer.

It takes a lot of effort.

Moreover, a small family of badgers often lives in a cave, and if a badger cave is found, there may be more than one badger living in it.

Lu Lu even saw people planing badger holes in the mountains before, and caught more than a dozen badgers, large and small, from inside at once.

After careful inspection in a radius of more than ten meters, Lu Lu did not find any other openings.

Going back to the entrance of Badger Cave again, I looked at the soil piled up at the entrance of the cave, and found that there was not much soil. Preliminary estimates suggest that the hole was newly excavated, and it was a badger that had not been moved to this slope for a long time.

Since there is no other hole, it can be excavated directly.

Lu Lu picked up a sharp shovel and started digging along the badger hole.

This is a soil hole dug out on the soil slope. The deeper you go, the thicker the soil layer is.

At the beginning, it was shallow, but the progress was very fast.

Within a few minutes, Lu Lu shoveled straight along the tunnel for more than one meter. After the thickness of the excavation reached more than 30 centimeters, just when he thought he would continue to go deeper, the tunnel turned.

Yuan Bao kept guarding the entrance of the cave excitedly, as if he disliked Lu Lu's slow digging. Whenever he had a chance, he would busy digging at the entrance of the cave a few times, or lay down in the soil trough, trying to poke his head in through the entrance of the cave, pushing hard Drilling, but it is much bigger than the hole, how can it get in.

For a while, I was so busy jumping up and down.

The reaction of the three puppies was very calm, not like Yuan Bao, they just lowered their heads and sniffed at the entrance of the cave or the fresh soil dug out by Lu Lu most of the time.

Probably because they have never eaten badger meat, badgers are not very conceptual to them, and have not attracted much attention.

But Yuan Bao is different. This is the first time Lu Lu saw Yuan Bao in a hurry to catch badgers. He didn't need to think about it. The scourge of the world, many people are caught every year.

After digging along the tunnel for more than half an hour, the tunnel gradually widened. Lu Lu thought that when he was about to dig into the badger's den, there was a tunnel turning to the other side. When he arrived at this place, the soil layer was already thick. Up to more than 50 centimeters, connected to the hole, seventy or eighty centimeters deep.

Fortunately, it has been a long time since spring, and the permafrost on the sunny slope has already melted, otherwise, it would not be easy to dig at this depth.

Seeing this cave, Lu Lu couldn't help laughing, it really wasn't just one.

However, Yuan Bao couldn't wait any longer. While Lu Lu was breathing a little, he jumped down from the soil trough, lay on his stomach, and poked his head into the hole on the left. When he found that he couldn't get in, he turned to another, bigger hole. .

Suddenly, with a sudden bow, it jumped out of the soil trough, looked down at the soil hole, waited for a while, jumped down the soil trough again, and continued to probe into the cave.

This time, as Yuan Bao quickly retracted his head and bounced out, something was dragged out by Yuan Bao.

What was pulled out was a small beast with three white stripes on its head, a badger.

Seeing it turned around and ran into the tunnel in a hurry, and was about to go back, Lu Lu unceremoniously slapped it on the head with a shovel. Unexpectedly, the soil trench was dug narrow, and it was stuck and missed, and it was caught again. Drilled back into the hole.

Yuan Bao reacted very quickly, and immediately jumped into the soil trough. Before the badger got into the hole completely, he bit its furry tail again, and was dragged out of the soil trough.

The badger was also ferocious, as soon as he twisted his body, he grabbed and bit Yuan Bao.Yuan Bao had to let go.

Lu Lu hurriedly stuck the shovel into the hole to prevent it from escaping back into the hole again. Another forked hole was also blocked by Lu Lu with a stone.

The badger looks chubby, but don’t think it’s cute. It’s quick and agile, with four thick legs and long, sharp black claws, but they are short legs after all. In such a place with few shrubs, No matter how you run, it is impossible to be the opponent of the hunting dog.

Lu Lu was not at all worried that it would run away.

He didn't want to use a gun to deal with this little thing, otherwise, the fur would be useless with one shot.

He took the pen knife, walked towards a small tree not far away, chopped out a wooden stick in a few strokes, and prepared to see the opportunity to hit the badger with a stick.

When turning back, he saw the badger running around, but he couldn't run very far, so he was stopped by Yuan Bao.

The little thing is also ferocious. After several conflicts with no results, he got annoyed, squatted on the ground, screamed at Yuan Bao, and even stood up.

Yuan Bao tried again and again, feinting at it very quickly, but he was always blocked by it waving its claws to fight back, and even rushed to counter Yuan Bao fiercely, returning its teeth.

In that mouth, the fangs are sharp.

It is said that the biting ability of the badger ranks high among terrestrial animals and should not be underestimated.

Yuan Bao is obviously very experienced in this aspect, and his body avoids it nimbly, so he won't let it bite. Instead, when it jumps up and bites again and again, as soon as it hits the ground, he seizes the opportunity to go up and bite.

Its long and pointed head with no neck is a bit bad.

After several attempts, Yuan Bao seized the opportunity, bit his head at once, and shook it violently a few times.

The badger screamed and kicked with its sharp claws, leaving some bloodstains on Yuan Bao's face.

The damage wasn't that big, Yuan Bao completely ignored it, biting on it, and shaking it vigorously, it gradually became silent,

This made Lu Lu feel that cutting a wooden stick by himself was purely unnecessary.

Well, keep digging!
