Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 302: Playing hawk hunting and fishing for leopards, making a nest and laying hard bait
There are no stable dogs in the Xu family dog ​​gang. Although Hua Xiong and Hua Danzi are usually quite honest, they also indulge in mischief when Xu Ning is not paying attention. It turns out that Xu Ning thought that the quilt in the kennel was torn to pieces by a gray wolf. , and later after careful observation, I found out that it was Hua Danzi who put it in his mouth!
In this environment, what good things can Hualang, One-Eye and Three Black Dogs learn?

Although the Communist Party only dragged them once and had a good record, Xu Ning was not very satisfied. Why? Just because their performance was not what Xu Ning expected.

They are the only two dog pups in Qing'an. Logically speaking, they should be very vigorous at half a year old, but when running in the mountains, Hualang can still fall, which is an embarrassment to its parents.

Of course, they have the blood and genes of green wolves and black wolves flowing in their bodies. If they live under the same roof with green wolves and gray wolves, they will all have some bad habits. From the last time they went to the mountains to hunt pigs, Xu Ning saw it right away. The one-eyed man had already revealed his playful nature when he was only half a year old. Hua Lang's impatience and sourness were exactly the same as Qing Lang's!
How to fix it? What else can be done? Just keep dragging it into the mountains. Xu Ning thought that after dragging it for two or three more times, Hualang would be able to lead the one-eyed four dogs to work alone.

In Dongshan, the chimney of the underground tunnel is emitting white smoke, the open space in front is very clean, and there are two snowmen piled on both sides. It must be said that Ma Liu is quite leisurely and elegant.

Perhaps hearing the sound, Ma Liu opened the door and squinted his eyes to look outside. When he saw Xu Ning and the others, he nodded: "Are you being tortured to death?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Well, uncle, you delivered this letter perfectly. It is indeed a brown bear, weighing about 600 pounds, but..."

Ma Liu raised his eyebrows and asked, "But what? What's the point of selling it? Just hurry up and say it."

"Don't let us enter the house."

Ma Liu looked at Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu and Guan Lei, as well as the things they were carrying, nodded and stepped aside: "Enter the room and say it quickly..."

When the four of them stepped in, the cellar was filled up. This small cellar was not big, but it had the advantage that the more people there were, the warmer it would be. It didn't take too much firewood to burn the kang, so the room could be kept warm. Around ten degrees.

"No, I remember you told me that there was a scar on the eyelids of that bear, but not on this bear's eyelids."

When Ma Liu heard this, he frowned: "Are you sure it's not the other end?"

Li Fuqiang and others put wine, meat and other things on the kang and sat down on the edge of the kang. Guan Lei handed Ma Liu a cigarette. Ma Liu took it and took a look at him and said, "This guy is quite slender."

Xu Ning shook his head: "The snow in the mountains is thick now, and I can't go deep into the mountains. I can only wander around. I'm tired of going to the snail shell for the four of us."

"Hou Jimao, one of those people is good at training falcons. When winter first comes, the sight is good. When the falcons reach the sky, they will look for jackals. If they see them, they will come back to report..."

"Haha..." Several people laughed.

Slim is not a good word to use on a man, but Guan Lei didn't get angry and said: "It's slim, but it's also quite strong. Don't you believe we can show off by wrestling with each other?"

"I'm lucky. I saw two groups of jackals five or six years ago. At that time, there were more than ten jackals in large groups and six or seven in small groups. Because of the high value of jackal meat, there was a group of people who specialized in hunting jackals. No less than a hundred jackals died in their hands."

"Yeah, it's indeed a good idea. I didn't expect any unexpected gains. I hunted eight jackals in total. I'll get you some meat and you can try it first."

"It's not easy to fight." Xu Ning shook his head: "The first two were killed, and the jackals retreated. Unexpectedly, as soon as we chatted a few words, the jackals reorganized themselves and attacked from behind. Fortunately, I saw it at that time. Shadow, otherwise all four of me will be injured."

Ma Liu said: "I don't know how to play this game."

"Shred it first and then put it in the pot to steam. You try to shape it first, and I'll get you something cooked next time."

Wang Hu asked: "Uncle, were jackals quite thick at that time?"

"Damn it, where did the scarred bear go? Where is the white stone?"

Immediately, at Ma Liu's urging, Xu Ning recounted the complicated process of hunting bears in snail shells yesterday.

Ma Liu puffed on his cigarette and waved his hand: "What am I trying to do with you? If you win, you will lose face, if you lose, you will lose face. You kid takes advantage of me."

Xu Ning frowned and said, "Are there any falconers in Qing'an?"

"That's because you are in good health. I would have been lying down long ago. You have a good idea. You can still listen to the bear's message before leaving..."

Ma Liu smiled and nodded: "Okay! Is the jackal easy to beat?"

At first, he was a bit repelled by Xu Ning's group of friends, but now he is able to joke seriously. Ma Liu is used to being alone and sometimes doesn't know how to get along with others.

"They are not from Qing'an. They seem to be from the north of the Songhua River."

"Ah." Xu Ning nodded and said: "Uncle, I brought the three of them here, mainly to tell you face to face that brown bear gallbladder is green gallbladder, and the bear's head was sold directly to the people in Sandaohe in the mountains for five dollars. ten……"

Ma Liu waved his hand: "I sold you the bear's head for four cents. It has nothing to do with me. If you want to say that I share the bear's bile, there's nothing wrong with it! Except for the bear's bile, I don't want the rest of the bear meat or bear paws. You guys Adjust it as you like.”

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Okay! After Xiong Bili takes action, I will come over and give you money."

"No need to be in a hurry. If you are short of money, just use it first. If you send it here, where can I spend it?"

"That's okay, it just so happens that my house can be used for building a house...Uncle, I have something else to do here today."

Ma Liu clapped his legs and said, "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly. Why are you so boring today? It's not pleasant at all."

"Haha, I'm not afraid of making things difficult for you. Well, don't I have to go up to the mountain to learn beekeeping from you before spring starts? This brother wants to come with me. Then we can build a shack to live outside. How about that?"

Ma Liu glanced at Wang Hu with drooping eyes, paused for two or three seconds, and nodded: "Come on, you two can have company. Does this little guy drink?"

"He drinks."

Ma Liu became more energetic after hearing this and said, "Okay! There are two piles of wood behind here. You two can build a room next to them and put a stove inside. It won't be cold when you sleep."

"Okay!"

On the ground, Ma Liu chatted with Ma Liu for nearly two o'clock. Seeing that it was almost three o'clock, Xu Ning started to walk home. Before going back, the four of them made a special detour to take a look at the Roe Deer Set. All four sets were It was empty, not even a trace of the roe deer.

Xu Ning thought that the heavy snow had killed a lot of livestock, and he didn't know how many livestock died in the mountains. It was a pity that they were all meat and good skins.

When they reached the old forest in the south, Guan Lei was walking on the side. When he looked into the forest, he saw a pool of bright red blood, which was particularly eye-catching in the snow-white forest.

"Brother! Look at that puddle. Is it blood?"

Wang Hu looked at it and said, "Second brother, that can't be a place where tabby cats eat, right?"

Xu Ning turned his head and took a look and said, "Load the bullet in the gun. Let's go over and take a look."

"Brother, I'll go first and you stay behind."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "No, the old leopard is not willing to go out for a walk during the day. It can't be easily touched, but be careful and keep an eye on it, especially the grass nests where you can hide."

"Eh."

Several people loaded their guns and walked into the old forest with their guns in hand. The snow in the forest was so thick that their knees were buried when they went down. "With snow like this, who can outrun the old leopard in the forest?"

Li Fuqiang nodded: "It's not good, it's like a sheep in a leopard's mouth."

Guan Lei followed Xu Ning silently. When he went to the snail shell, he didn't even feel the snow thickness, because Xu Ning led the three of them to the edge of the mountain specifically and did not go to a place with deep snow.

"Second brother, take a look! Is this the sign of Old Leopard?"

Xu Ning lowered his head and saw that the snow was more than thirty centimeters deep. The old leopard stepped on it and made a plum blossom mark. The pace was similar to that of a domestic cat. But when walking in such thick snow, even if the leopard's legs were slender, it would We also had to walk through the snow, so the trail was very clear.

"Yes! This is its territory. Let's go to the place with blood in front and take a look. We can't go deeper."

"OK."

After walking more than 20 meters, Xu Ning frowned when he saw a pool of blood. He turned to look at the way he came. He was only thirty or forty meters away from the road...

On the right side of Xu Ning, there is another trace, which is a human footprint!

"What the hell, what kind of bastard is pouring blood here?" Li Fuqiang cursed.

Xu Ning waved her hand: "Go back and follow the footsteps you came from."

"it is good."

Wang Hu asked: "Second brother, why is this person pouring blood here?"

"I want to lure the old leopard out. I think this person is lying nearby."

Li Fuqiang frowned and said, "Who could it be? This incident of a leopard eating a sheep only came out in the early afternoon, and now someone is impatient?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "In Qing'an and Taiping villages, there are only a few people who can hunt. In our village, there are the Chang family brothers, Lao Jiang, and Lao Xue family. Taiping has Da Xiaoxiao, Lao Lan family, Li Mazi... and the rest It can’t be done manually.”

Li Fuqiang said with a smile: "The loudspeaker is not very powerful, but he is still able to beat the dog."

"Yes!"

The few of them walked out of the old forest and walked toward home, chatting and laughing.

After they left, where there were bloodstains in the old forest, forty or fifty meters to the north, the snow next to a fallen tree was somewhat loose.

A murmur came from the side of the fallen tree: "Why are they everywhere? It's so embarrassing."

"Hey, please stop yelling and help me look behind you."

"Brother, when it comes to living things, this game is just like fishing. If you don't dig a nest hard and bait hard, how can you catch something big?"

"You're useless!"

They were none other than the Chang brothers who were attacked by a blind man in Shetang Valley years ago! After a period of recuperation, the two brothers were now able to help Li Feng deliver it to Li Shanfa.

During this period, the two of them were living just fine. Although the idea suffered a disaster a year ago, things turned around after the new year and good luck came!
This starts from the day when Li Shan was beaten to death. At that time, Li San was acting like a monster at home, scaring Sun Cuiping, Li Tong, and Chang Lihong so much that they did not even dare to return home. After Li Shanfa was sent away, Li San still did not restrain himself, but became more and more excessive. Li Feng asked Chang Lihong to hold the child and live temporarily in Chang Xifeng's house with Sun Cuiping and Li Tong.

His family has two houses, one for the ladies and one for the men. They have been living in Chang Xifeng's house until now. Why haven't they left?

Because Li Sanchang had invited an immortal to his family, he had to do the Dharma for two hours every night. Red and yellow papers were flying all over the house, and one night he almost burned down the house. Fortunately, Li Feng went back to bring him a meal, and it was all ignited just by looking at it. Otherwise, Li San will be burned to death.

After living here for more than half a month, Lao Niu's house was still close to each other. Niu Baotian felt that Li Shan was dead. Although it had nothing to do with Niu Liniu Le, they were still hunting bears together, so he couldn't ignore it if something happened.

So even if his own family couldn't eat, Niu Baotian asked Niu Li to send two pots of vegetables to Chang Xifeng's family during the Chinese New Year. Even if the vegetables were not very hard, it was still a token of his kindness.

Over and over again, the more Niu Li looked at Sun Cuiping, the more she thought she looked good-looking. When he went home and chatted with Niu Baotian, Niu Baotian also thought it would be okay.

Although Sun Cuiping's daughter Li Tong is already 13, and Sun Cuiping is in her thirties, she can endure hardships and knows how to work. The most important thing is that Niu Li will be almost thirty in a few years. As the saying goes, female college students hold gold bricks. , the daughter of the fifth grade is an old mother, the daughter of the seventh grade is a leisure wife!

Niu Li and Sun Cuiping are exactly seven years apart. Even if they are not idle wives, they will be able to smile when they get married.

However, Li Shan died less than a month ago. To put it bluntly, he was not even a month old yet. How could Sun Cuiping remarry?

So Niu Li has been going to Chang Xifeng to flatter him recently, and spent a lot of money to buy a few packs of cigarettes and wine. The name of giving them away was to thank the old Chang brothers for their help, but in fact he meant to let Chang Xifeng spend more time with Li Feng , Sun Cuiping said a few kind words to her ears.

Why is it said that the Chang family has taken a turn for the worse and good luck has come? Because on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chang Xifeng and others went for a walk in the street. They were looking at a litter of four dogs on the side of the road. The parents of the puppies were next to the cage. Chang Xifeng knew at a glance that they were good dogs, so he pinched them. He lifted it up by the back of his neck, stretched his tail straight, spread his legs outwards, and didn't even make a sound from his mouth.

This shows that the pup is bold and has a high pain tolerance. Looking at the edge of the cage, there is a row of chewed wooden boards with good teeth.

Immediately Chang Xifeng asked the price. The seller said that the puppy would not only be sold alone, but also with two old dogs, and the total cost would be 80 yuan. The seller said that his children had been transferred to the south, and he would have to go south with them. So I sold everything I could sell at home, including these dogs...

After Chang Xifeng heard the story, he felt that it was not easy for the old man, so he took 80 yuan from his wife and bought six dogs.

Gao Yanhong and Zhang Yan did not object at all, but supported it. After all, the Chang brothers went hunting in the mountains, which could add a lot of income to the family. If they wanted to earn more, they had to invest!
After giving the money to the old seller, the old man left in a hurry, leaving behind two old dogs and four puppies...

This incident made Chang Xifeng very happy. He bought six dogs for only 80 yuan, with an average of just over 13 yuan per dog.

After arriving home, the Chang brothers treated the four puppies very little for several days, while the two old dogs were left in the corner without saying a word.

Until this morning, Chang Xifeng got up and went to the hut. When he came back, he saw Gao Yanhong feeding the old dogs. He walked over and took the dog food and fed two spoons. When he was about to pet one of the old dogs, The other one suddenly lunged forward with a grin and bit Chang Xifeng's arm directly. Fortunately, he was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and didn't bite through, but it still hurt like pliers pinching flesh.

Chang Xifeng was immediately furious. He suddenly picked up the big shovel standing at the base of the wall and hit the old dog on the head twice. While beating him, he shouted: "You idiot! Why are you rebelling against Tiangang! I I’ll beat you to death!”

clap clap!

The two shovels fell, and an old dog's legs collapsed. He fell to the ground with a thud, then stuck out his tongue and began to twitch.

Chang Beifeng, Zhang Yan, Gao Hongyan, and Chang Lihong heard the noise and ran out. They were all a little confused when they saw this scene. After about two or three minutes, Chang Xifeng saw that the old dog had stopped moving, and then he came back to his senses.

"Oh, what the fuck!"

Chang Xifeng threw away the shovel, patted his thigh and regretted: "Oh shit, I didn't use too much force! Why are you so resistant to being beaten... Damn it, tell me about you, I'll feed you, you bite me... What..."
