My village can't be like this

Chapter 99 Meeting a Pack of Wolves in the Mountains, Two Tigers Occasionally Recognize Their Relatives

Zhang Ancheng carefully planed the mud on the ground with the hoe, for fear that if he accidentally used too much force, he would directly dig Huang Jing into the ground inside.

The more I dug Zhang An, the happier I was. Although it took a lot of time, it meant that the sealwort underground was very big and must have grown for many years.

After a lot of time, it was finally dug out completely.

Looking at the long handle of sealwort in his hand, it really has some weight, and it is heavy in his hand.

Zhang An has also seen the wild yellow essence dug up by his second grandfather before, but they are not so big, and the biggest one is only ten years old.

The main reason is that the ones at the bottom of the mountain have been dug up long ago, and the ones that can be dug for more than ten years are already lucky.

The one in Zhang An's hand is more than a foot long from the beginning to the end. They are like rooster heads stacked one on top of the other, connected together to form a long string.

The few nodules on the far side are very small, not as big as Zhang An's thumb. This is because these nodules are the first part of this Huangjing plant to grow, but the nodules that grow later begin to grow larger than Zhang An's thumb. One was big, and the biggest one was almost as big as half of Zhang An's fist.

And he also grew many branches. When the main root grows, nodules grow on the branches.

Zhang An counted, not counting the nodules of the branches, there are already more than 20 taproots alone, which means that this is an old sealwort that has grown here for more than [-] years, and it is a rare treasure.

Zhang An reckoned that this one started at least seven or eight catties.

At that moment, Zhang An became even more excited. Seeing that there was still such a piece of land next to him, Zhang An planned to poach it all.

Of course, don't touch the seedlings that are too small. This is a matter of principle. It is by no means the right way to kill all the people in the mountains. Learning to save seeds is the truth.

Zhang An came at the right time, and this time coincided with the time when the sealwort seeds were ripe, and the sealwort plants were covered with seeds.

This land is so fertile, Zhang An immediately picked some of the seeds from Huang Jing's pole and planted them in the newly dug ground, believing that they will germinate soon, and of course keep the remaining seeds for planting. into the space.

In this forest, because the surrounding trees are too tall and dense, Zhang An can't see the position of the sun, but fortunately, he bought a watch before, so he won't lose time in the forest.

It seemed that it was already four or five o'clock, and Zhang An had just dug up two sealworts.

Today's time is not so sufficient, Zhang An has to speed up his hands.

Because he still needs to allow enough time to find a place where he can camp.

Zhang An didn't plan to camp in this forest. The jungle with so many weeds was too dangerous at night.

Soon, it was almost six o'clock, even if Zhang An speeded up, he didn't dig out much.

But it is definitely not possible to continue today, and we can only wait until tomorrow morning to continue digging.

At the moment, he took the big tiger and the little tiger, packed up his things, and walked out of the forest.

Fortunately, it was summer, and it got dark late at night. If it were winter, it would be dark now, and it would be especially inconvenient to move around in the woods.

The terrain above Eagle's Mouth Cliff is flat, which is a suitable place for camping, but because that place is very high, the mountain wind that blows across the top of the mountain at night is very strong, so it is not suitable to stay there.

And the creek at the foot of the mountain below is even more unsuitable for night camping.

There are many large animals in the forest that do not like to come out for activities during the day, but come out to look for food and drink at night.

Regardless of whether it was Zhang An's second grandfather or the mountain walkers in the later generations, they all told Zhang An about this issue, and Zhang An remembered it clearly in his heart.

If Zhang An chose to camp in this kind of place, and happened to be encountered by leopards and mountain wolves who came out to drink water or forage at night, then it would be a real Barbie Q.

Even encountering monkeys in the mountains is a very dangerous thing.

Because there are so many Wukongs in this mountain, they are all in groups when they are dispatched. If they meet someone, they will attack you crazily and throw stones at you from the trees.

On the other side of Yingzui Cliff just now, although there are some caves at the foot of the mountain, Zhang An dared not go in.

It's not certain that there is something's home inside, if Zhang An plans to go in for the night, maybe there will be something particularly enthusiastic to say "yeah, hello~" to Zhang An.

Talking and yelling at Zhang An, this is the scariest thing.

Zhang An and the others have bears in the mountains, not too few, and they can be regarded as a tyrant in the forest.

They like to regard the cave as their own home, and usually sleep in it when they are full.

After some searching, Zhang An finally found a not-so-small dam, far away from the water source, on a back slope, with a wide view. Zhang An observed for a long time but did not see any traces of other animals.

There happened to be a sunken rock in the back, and Zhang An could spend the night here just by pitching a tent.

After choosing a place, Zhang An started to chop some wood and build a simple tent.

Although it looks like a beautiful scenery with an infinite sunset now, it is not guaranteed that it will start to rain in the evening.

Taking out the ax in the space, Zhang An found a few small trees that were not very thick, and chopped them down one after another.

It is almost enough to cut four or five pieces of wood. Anyway, it is just to build a shelf against the mountain wall, and it does not need too much wood.

It happened that there were some wild vines nearby, and Zhang An also cut some of them back.

On the rock that looked relatively flat, a triangular shelf was built against the mountain wall with the chopped wood.

Tie the plastic sheet I brought in the morning to it so that if it rains, I won't get wet.

Zhang An also thought that the rocks on the ground were too hard, so he went to the forest and cut two large bundles of Osmanthus fragrans and spread them on the rocks, so that it would be much softer to sleep on.

It will be like this in the wild, but this kind of sleeping method is not good for a long time. After a long time, it will not work too many times, and it is easy to get rheumatism into the body.

When Zhang An was a later life, he went to show the warehouse to others. Taking advantage of his youth and money, he slept on the ground when the weather was too hot, and he got rheumatism at a young age.

When Zhang An cut trees and set up camp, Xiaohu and Dahu went out to find food.

Zhang An didn't care about them too much. Zhang An still believed in the hunting ability of the two dogs in the mountains and forests, because they often went to the mountains to catch rabbits and pheasants by themselves.

It doesn't matter if you can't catch them, anyway, there are plenty of rabbits and grouse in the space.

Letting them out is just to release their instincts, especially the big tiger, this guy has to let him see blood often, otherwise he will always jump around and look bad.

And when they came all the way, Zhang An didn't find any traces of large animal activities, so he let them go out with confidence.

After setting up a place to sleep at night, Zhang An began to dig a fire pit in the dam.

It is more important to have a strong campfire in the mountains, not only to provide lighting and temperature, but if some ferocious animals come around at night, they will not attack you immediately with the campfire.

Especially nocturnal predators like wolves and leopards.

The only thing to pay attention to is that after the fire is lit, you must pay attention to it, otherwise if the fire is blown into the forest by the wind, it will not work to set the mountain on fire.

So Zhang An dug a big fire pit, which to a large extent avoided the accident that the fire was blown away by the wind.

Moreover, this place is in the direction of the back slope, and the mountain wind blowing at night is extremely small.

I still have to pick up food later, so I can't do without a fire.

He dug a similarly large fire pit in front of the camp with a hoe, and then went to the forest to collect some dry firewood.

Suddenly, a cry came from the forest in the distance. Zhang An was very familiar with this sound. Zhang An was sure that it was the cry of a tiger, and then another sound came.

Although it is also the sound of a dog barking, it is not the sound of Er Hu.

Zhang An didn't think much about it, and rushed towards the direction of the sound with the steel fork in hand.

Although the big tigers usually have a wild temper, they don't bark so quickly. Zhang An is worried that they will encounter poachers or large animals in the mountains.

It would be okay if I met the old hunters from the nearby mountains, but it would be a bit bad if I met those unscrupulous poachers.

Zhang An followed the sound for a while before entering the woods, but the sound of the tiger in his ears was getting louder, which meant that he did not go in the wrong direction.

However, it is not easy to walk into the woods, because this area is a whole slope, and the slope is quite steep. If you don't pay attention, you will slip under your feet, and you may slip to the bottom at that time.

So Zhang An had to slow down his speed, stepping steadily step by step before moving forward.

Zhang An can't see clearly where the slope is, because there are not only many tall fir trees in the forest, but also many jujube vines and wolfberry weeds, which completely block the ground.

There are many such terrains in the mountains. You may not see a very deep place, but when you actually go down, you will find that it is a clump of particularly tall and lush wolfberry or other grass.

After spending a lot of time, Zhang An finally came to a rugged forest full of huge rocks from the sloping slope.

It can be seen that the trees in this forest grow from the gaps in the huge rocks, and these stones are covered with green moss.

The sparse big trees and the stones all over the mountains and plains are a little out of place, but these trees have indeed grown so big here.

But directly ahead, Zhang An could only see a group of blue-gray mountain wolves surrounding the tallest boulder not far away, and the big tiger and little tiger were confronting them on the stone below.

There were about a dozen of these mountain wolves, and several of them were pups, about the size of a newborn puppy.

Zhang An cautiously moved forward, and when he was a little closer to the pack of wolves, he found a gray-yellow wolf in the pack.

Something is wrong, it is impossible for the local mountain wolves to have this color. Although the wolves in the mountains are gray, they will not appear in other coat colors.

In the past, there were leopards and tigers everywhere in this big mountain forest. According to the old man, there were quite a few black bears in the mountains before.

In order to adapt to this forest, the mountain wolf has already gradually turned its fur to blue-gray.

And the leader, the wolf king, has a blue-black fur without a trace of variegation.

Zhang An felt that something was wrong with this yellow-gray wolf, but it was accompanied by several wolf cubs, which already showed that it was the mother of these wolf cubs.

The more Zhang An looked at it, the more he felt strange, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was a problem, but he couldn't think of the specific problem for a while.

Zhang An couldn't think of it for a while, so he simply didn't bother to think about it, and quietly touched it with the steel fork.

He got closer to the wolves and his two dogs, and only then could he see the situation clearly.

Fuck, it can't be true, can it?
A sense of familiarity rose in Zhang An's heart.

Zhang An's current memory is very good. Although he has not achieved the ability of photographic memory, most of them can be remembered.

Zhang An could see the pack of wolves in front of him clearly now, but he just saw the one who stood out among the pack of wolves.

Other wolves have their tails upright and down, but this one is raised up.

When he was far away, Zhang An felt something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.

Now he remembered, what kind of she-wolf was that sticking out? It was a local dog.

Although its two ears stood up, and it may have regained a lot of ferocity during the period of following the wolves, but the upturned tail has already exposed its identity.

Looking at the earth dog, Zhang An suddenly looked at the biggest wolf on the boulder, and then at his little tiger.

Damn it, these little tigers must not be the breed of this blue wolf.

The fur on Xiaohu's body and the look in his eyes are somewhat similar to those of the alpha wolf, except that Xiaohu usually has his tail upturned.

At this time, Zhang An remembered that when Xiaohu was hunting in the forest, his tail was also pinched down.

The big tiger and the two tigers are not very similar, but there is no need to run away with fur.

Zhang An felt that this girl was a little familiar before. Isn't this the mother of the brothers Xiaohu and Dahu?

Because Zhang An brought it into the space, so after thinking about it, he was sure it was it.

The native dogs in the village are generally only exposed to native dogs, and there are no other breeds in the village now.

Shouldn't it be a trip into the mountains, so that the Xiaohu brothers can find their own father?

But Zhang An was quite curious, how did the big gray dog ​​get close to the wolf.

This wolf is also so fucking blind that Zhang An can't figure out how to accept a native dog and bring it to live with the pack of wolves.

There is no other possibility. If the leader wolf in the wolf pack is not able to accept it, it is impossible for the big gray dog ​​to stay and follow the wolf pack if it is replaced by other male wolves of the wolf pack.

Only when the head wolf accepts it can it follow the wolf pack.

Zhang An looked at the big gray dog ​​making small noises next to the wolf.

It's like two people are having a conversation:
You can't kill the head of the family, they are your children.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang An immediately had a picture in his mind, isn't it a large-scale family ethics drama?

No wonder it has been so long, although Xiaohu and Dahu have been confronting the wolves for a long time, there is no fight yet.
