Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 66
In some areas in Northeast China, the croplands are called mountains, and the flat forest areas are also called mountains, not real mountains.

The terrain of the forest tens of miles to the north of his home is relatively flat, with the highest hill tens of meters away, and the rest are ditches, ponds, blue stones, small ditches, diwozi, etc.

The seven dogs pulled the plow and walked less than ten miles. Wu Hao got off the plow and pulled it with the dogs. His family's dogs were not sled dogs.

It is incomparable with Erha and Alaska. It is not bad to be able to walk fifty or sixty miles a day. Pulling a plow is exhausting.

More than 30 miles away, it was the creek where the otters were shot two days ago. The big brown and the big blue wolf looked up and sniffed the air.

Wu Hao saw that they didn't lie down to a high place to watch, and the river bank was very calm before noon. He originally wanted to use a gun, but now there is not a single otter.

He led the dog to the front of the embankment, and the otter poked his head out of an ice hole on the opposite bank to wait and see.

"Wow, woof, woof~" the seven dogs started to bark, especially the big and small blue wolves, who were very irritable when they entered Beishan.

Wu Hao believed that as long as the rope was loosened, the two of them would definitely rush to the ice hole, went to the front and patted the dog's head, and took out four traps from the plow after comforting them.

This kind of trap is not for trapping wolves on the ground, it looks like a small square door when it is opened, and it is specially used to deal with otters.

Otters love to eat fish and animal offal. They also eat meat and vegetables. When there are no wild vegetables in winter, they like to eat willow inner bark.

Wu Hao didn't bring bait, and he couldn't crouch with his gun in such a cold day, and he might even be in the air force if he put a trap on his back and waited for a rabbit.

Cut four tender willow branches from the woods, then took a bundle of pine branches to the embankment, and squatted on it to find the exit of the otter den.

The ice layer was five or six centimeters thick, and he could only vaguely see the approximate location. There were no obstacles near the caves that otters often entered and exited.

After the muddy water was stirred up and the ice layer was frozen, the ice layer was dirtier than other places. He chopped it with an axe.

It took half an hour with iron brazing and an ax to clear out a square ice hole, and the clamps were clamped from top to bottom.

Tie a willow branch to the back of the clip with a rope, take out dried cabbage leaves from your bosom and tie them together.

Bind pine wood on both sides of the clip, stand it up and insert it into the river, which is shaped like a small door with a door frame, and insert pine wood into the river less than a foot in front of the clip to block it.

Otters don't like to eat pine wood. They will poke their heads into the door if they eat willow. If they go in, they can clamp them, but if they don't, they will air force.

Breaking the ice layer is not afraid of disturbing the otters. Some fish in the water are far away from home, and they will take the initiative to get into the trap when they come back out of curiosity.

Wu Hao took a look at the sky after setting four clips. The sun was westward, and the big blue wolves kept looking north, so he had to lead them for a stroll.

There is a Tiancangzi more than ten miles to the northwest. If there are bears, he will hunt them, but he feels that there is little hope. If there are not few people hunting this year, he will not go to see them.

The old man often went hunting in the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and there were no wood carvings or cellars near his house. Tonight he would dig a igloo to sleep in.

Wu Hao didn't want to leave after walking less than ten miles. The snow under the bluestone pond in front of him was three meters thick, and he just hollowed out to live in it.

A gust of northwest wind blew by, and Da Brown yelled in a low voice, instead of lying down, he assumed a fighting posture, staring at the northwest like a wolf.

Then the six dogs did the same, Xiao Hei and Xiao Brown were even a little scared.

Wu Hao let go of the dog, picked up the gun, and signaled Da Brown to lead the way. It is definitely not the king of the mountain, it is a tiger, and his dog will definitely retreat.

Only wolves, lynxes and leopards can make a puppy afraid of a big dog. Except for wolves and tigers, a dog with him is not afraid of a single wild animal.

If they really encountered a pack of wolves, they would also panic.

Wu Hao was very surprised to meet these two kinds of valuable beasts, so he threw down the plow and walked over two miles to observe the footprints.

Moose, red deer, wild boar, etc. are all artiodactyls, and they will leave two-toed hoofprints when they walk on the snow.

However, carnivores such as ferrets, foxes, wolves, lynxes, leopards, and tigers leave round or oblong footprints, and their toes, together with the palm pads, are printed in plum-shaped patterns.

To distinguish which animal leaves a footprint, it depends on the size. The lynx is also called the mountain cat and the big paw.

Its footprint is larger than that of a leopard and much smaller than that of a tiger.

And in front of him are the footprints of big paws, some of which are covered with snow, and the footprints may have been away intermittently for two days.

Big Brown just smells the smell, it is afraid!
It can fight medium-sized wolves, even [-]-[-], but large wolves can't beat them, let alone Siberian plain wolves.

But the canine family can't beat the cat family, and the lynx meets a large wolf and fights, the wolf dies and it is seriously injured, but the cat family rapes it, and it ambush.

He leapt down and locked his throat, directly dividing life and death.

Duzhan's two dogs are fine, their footprints go straight to the west, even if they can't find it, Wu Hao wants to see where it went, to the west is the pasture.

With the caution of felines, they will not expose their targets, and even tigers rarely enter the grasslands in winter.

After walking forward for 10 minutes, the trees and footprints were blown away. Da Brown suddenly stopped and his body trembled and hurried back.

"Fuck! What's going on today?" Wu Hao set up his gun and aimed at the north, Da Brown retreated to his legs, stopped and raised his head to sniff for a while, feeling a bit puzzled.

He patted it on the dog's head, making a false alarm, the King of Mountains had passed to the north, and the smell left frightened Da Brown again.

There is no way to suppress the blood. Today's Siberian tigers are not short of food. The female has five hundred catties, and Da Zong can be killed with one paw. It's strange if you are not afraid.

It was a rare encounter with a tiger. Wu Hao took his gun and went north to find the tiger's footprints. The tiger's paws were half the size of his palm.

There is also a pile of feces next to it, which is similar to dog dung, thicker and longer than dog dung, and it is full of pig hair.

It's shaped like a whip, except it's shorter, a black whip.

The footprints were left about a day ago. At the speed of the tiger, it should have traveled a long way. Its territory is thousands of miles away.

It also enters the grassland to the west, and it is possible to come from the outer Xing'an Mountains in the north and go to the Da Xing'an Mountains in the southwest.

Not choosing to go south to the woods proves that both lynx and tiger recognize people. They know that there are people with guns in the south, and they would rather go to the pasture than approach people.

Such animals are hard to come by. Unlike raw tigers who stand up and growl to pretend to be aggressive when they meet people, raw bears slowly approach to observe unfamiliar species, and familiar animals run away when they see someone holding a gun.

Wu Hao gave up leading the dog to circle around to find the mountain road back.

Walking north for more than two miles, a gust of wind blew, and Da Brown suddenly stopped and looked north.

"Woof~" Big Blue Wolf raised his head and rushed out after sniffing.

"Stop!" Wu Hao shouted, "Come back!"

"Woo~" The big blue wolf stopped and lowered his head to sob, his face was fierce as if he was anxious in a duel with a dog.

Looking back at the owner, she bared her teeth, as if she was about to bite someone, and raised her leg to go north.

"Oh! Made!" Wu Hao shouted angrily, "Come back!"

The big blue wolf stopped and looked back at his master, his eyes were full of grievances, his stomach was heaving and his waist was shaking, and he looked very angry.

"Don't come back after you go." Wu Hao turned around and left after speaking, and the other dogs followed.

The little blue wolf also smelled the smell, lowered its head and barked wildly, and deliberately went north to look back at the master's exhausted "嗤嗤".
