Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 238 Red Fox Appears Again

After the kang in the underground cellar and the firewood in the stove were ignited, there was a little warmth in the underground cellar. As the temperature continued to increase, the moisture in the underground cellar increased with the temperature. , slowly dissipated, and by night, the entire cellar was dry.
Zhang Peng boiled water and prepared to boil some corn noodles he had brought over. Wang Xiaoli was helping, while Zhao Chunming and Hou Damao were busy with other things.
The puppy gang was very excited after going up the mountain. After settling down, the leading white tiger kept sniffing the smell in the air, showing great curiosity.
But after all, there is nothing nearby, so I can't smell anything, and Dahuang seems to be very calm. To him, these puppies are just little kids who haven't grown up. It only raises its head occasionally. I sniffed it with my nose and felt that there was no familiar smell. I also lay quietly on the branch Zhang Peng had prepared for them, squinting my eyes and dozing there.
After Zhang Peng mixed the corn noodles and waited until they were cold, he and Wang Xiaoli took them out together. They poured some corn noodles on the birch bark in front of Rhubarb and Puppy Gang, and watched the people in front of them gobble them up. After eating, he also smiled and touched the heads of Dahuang and the puppy gang, and these guys also moved forward shamelessly.
"Second brother, what are we going to do tomorrow?" Wang Xiaoli stroked the white tiger's head and said to Zhang Peng.
"Tomorrow, let's go to the alkali field first. It's been so long and we haven't disturbed them, so I guess anything nearby that needs salt will go there. Let's pack some things first. This is our food for this period of time. , when all the supplies are complete, let's move on to the next step." Zhang Peng heard Wang Xiaoli's words and replied to him.
After Wang Xiaoli heard this, he also nodded. At this time, Zhao Chunming, who was listening to Zhang Peng and Wang Xiaoli's words, also came over.
"Second brother, I will take Da Mao around the area tomorrow. The alkali field cannot support so many people. If anything is discovered by then, if it is easy to fight, I will take it. If it is difficult to fight, we will come back and try again. I'm looking for you." Zhao Chunming said to Zhang Peng in consultation.
"Okay, but pay attention to safety, be careful, and be back before dark." Zhang Peng thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Chunming.
"Okay, don't worry, second brother, I've been going up the mountain with you for so long, and I've learned something." Zhao Chunming said happily when he heard that Zhang Peng agreed that he and Hou Damao would go out alone.
Later, Wang Xiaoli was also in the cellar, getting some food for Zhang Peng and the others. However, due to time constraints, he did not prepare anything. He just grilled the steamed buns and bacon brought from home over the fire, and then cut the bacon with a knife. Cut into evenly thin slices and sandwich them in the middle of the steamed buns. A simple version of the Roujiamo is completed.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat," Wang Xiaoli shouted to Zhang Peng and others in the cellar.
Everyone also greeted them and got into the cellar one by one, and then took the simple meat buns handed over by Wang Xiaoli.
"It has to be a small profit. It's quite delicious to do this to you." Zhao Chunming took a bite of the meat bun in his hand, and then after swallowing the mouthful of meat bun in his mouth, he praised Wang Xiaoli. road.
"Yes, as long as you think about it a little bit, everything will taste delicious." Zhang Peng said with a sigh while eating the meat bun in his hand.
"Okay, you guys, why are you praising me? I'm going to do all the cooking, so there's no need." Wang Xiaoli said to everyone with a smile.
Zhang Peng and others looked at each other when they heard Wang Xiaoli's words, and then burst into laughter. There was nothing wrong with what they said.
After everyone finished eating, they all went to lie down on the kang of the underground cellar. Zhang Peng came in last. He untied the rhubarb and put them into the underground cellar. Suddenly, the underground cellar became slightly crowded. It was full of hunting dogs.
After chatting on the kang for a while, everyone fell asleep. The intensity of the work on the first day was pretty good, but it was just that they hadn't gone up the mountain for such a long time, and their bodies still needed to adapt.
Early the next morning, before it was completely bright, but things nearby could be clearly seen outside, Zhang Peng and others were awakened by the sound of claws scratching the door.
"It's nothing, just go back to sleep." Zhang Peng looked at the door drowsily, and then whispered to everyone.
Zhao Chunming and others raised their heads and took a look. Seeing that nothing happened, they fell asleep again.
Zhang Peng knew that Dahuang was anxious to go out and clean himself up, but he had no choice. He stood up in a daze and opened the door. A blast of cold air hit his face. Being so aroused by the cold air, he immediately Just woke up.
Dahuang and the puppy gang also rushed out impatiently, and it was very uncomfortable for them to hold it in this night, but luckily they didn't urinate in the cellar. This is the habit of our hunting dogs.
After they all ran out, Zhang Peng also walked out, and then closed the door casually. Looking at the looming scenery outside, Zhang Peng also felt very artistic, so he stood outside admiring it, waiting for Dahuang. Finish them off, then tie them up again.
At this moment, the puppy gang seemed to have suddenly discovered something. Not far from the cellar, the white tiger rushed over at the lead, and then the hurried screams of the puppy gang were heard. Dahuang trotted over leisurely. He had noticed it a long time ago, but he just didn't pay attention.
When Zhang Peng saw this situation, he hurriedly walked over and vaguely saw the puppies surrounding a red object. Zhang Peng also had some guesses in his mind.
The puppy gang only surrounded them and did not go up to bite them. This was the hunting dog that had not yet opened its mouth. Then Zhang Peng drove the puppy gang away and found that the red fox that occupied their cellar yesterday was lying there, being beaten by the little dog. The Dog Gang was so frightened that they were trembling all over.
Zhang Peng also felt a little strange, what was this guy doing here if he wasn't walking? Then he tied up the puppies one by one, then walked to the fox and kicked the fox gently with his feet. When he saw the fox Still unmoved, he squatted down with some strange caution and looked around.
Zhang Peng wanted to take a look at the fox, but he stopped as soon as he reached out. He still doesn't know what the situation is, so he might as well stop moving and keep it like this.
Zhang Peng observed for a while, but found nothing. He straightened up and walked into the cellar. During this period, Rhubarb had been guarding him. Seeing that Zhang Peng had no instructions for the fox, he lowered his head and sniffed it uninterested. He sniffed, then raised his head, and followed Zhang Peng back to the underground cellar.
Zhang Peng did not lie down to sleep again, but prepared to feed Rhubarb and the puppy gang. After Zhang Peng boiled the corn noodles and fed them to Rhubarb and the puppy gang respectively, he subconsciously looked at the red fox. At the side, I saw the red fox still lying there without moving.
Zhang Peng also thought about it and walked over, and then saw the red fox's eyes staring at the approaching Zhang Peng with fear, but there was no other movement to escape.
Zhang Peng also placed a small piece of birch bark in front of it, then dug out a spoonful of cooked corn noodles and poured it upside down on the birch bark.
"Eat, then leave after eating. I won't hurt you, but I can't protect others." Zhang Peng lowered his head and said to the red fox.
