Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 303: The leopard fished for blood and came by smell.

"Did your head explode with a cannon? Why did you hit it?"

Gao Yanhong stood behind her, watching the old dog lying on the ground take its last breath, and her heart suddenly twisted.

Chang Xifeng's intestines were about to turn green. He hurriedly patted his legs and walked around the old dog, saying: "It bit me, can I not peel it?"

Zhang Yan couldn't help but said: "You can't cut off the head, brother, these two old dogs are bought as puppies, but they are also paid for with serious money..."

Chang Beifeng scolded his wife and whispered, "Stop saying a few words."

Zhang Yan turned her head and glanced at him, frowned and trembled. Chang Beifeng was so frightened that Chang Beifeng stepped aside. Seeing that Zhang Yan didn't make a move with him, she muttered: "Scared me."

Ever since Sun Cuiping and Chang Lijuan moved in, Zhang Yan has never had any contact with Chang Beifeng. She also knows that there are outsiders in the house, and the old ladies and the old men are making fun of them.

Chang Lijuan stood near the door, while Sun Cuiping was eating food in the outer room. When she heard the noise in the courtyard, she just turned her head and looked away. Sun Cuiping understood that this was not her home, and she tried to treat things like this as normal. She didn't even look at it. Even at home, she didn't even dare to raise her head, for fear that Li Shan would take it out on her.

Gao Yanhong walked over to Play Ying, looked at the old dog, and patted Chang Xifeng on the arm, "What should we do now? Can we save him?"

Gao Yanhong grabbed Chang Xifeng and asked, "Master, can this dead dog be sold?"

Chang Beifeng came over and said: "Brother, this old dog must be seven or eight years old. When we brought it back, I saw that its hind legs couldn't stand firmly. I couldn't take it to run in the mountains. It would die if it died." Come on, don't be so upset."

"How much can I sell this dog for? No, how about I help you bark?"

"Okay." Chang Beifeng went into the house to get the knife.

Just like his four red-headed and tiger-headed dogs, after the battle with the big orphan pig, they were all sent to the mountains and buried by the Chang brothers, with no intention of selling their meat.

Chang Xifeng held up the pot and chatted with Gouxue and Chang Beifeng. At this time, a person suddenly came to the door of the courtyard, it was Niu Li!

Chang Xifeng gave it a couple of blows with a spade, but it actually didn't cause much trouble. A good beating made it remember who the owner was, and it would not dare to bite it the next time. But I didn't expect that two spades could kill it.

Chang Xifeng has a certain bottom line. The 'feeling' in his words means that the dog has not brought much income to his family, so there is nothing wrong with selling it to supplement the family's assets. If it has made great contributions to his family, then give it to him. Find a place to sleep.

"Hey, after we get them back together, I didn't think about taking them to the mountains. I thought it would be nice to let them look after the house and nursery. I never thought that this dog has an acidic temper. Come up and give me a bite..."

How about we say they are blood brothers? Although Chang Beifeng sometimes chatters about tigers and has no idea, he understands his brother.

"How can I help? My head is cracked. Oh my god! I'm really missing a string in my head..."

"We don't eat dog meat at home. It's cheap and we can sell it. This dog doesn't have any affection for us. If it does, I can't sell it. I just dig a hole in the mountains and bury it."

"Thank you very much, Li."

Chang Xifeng covered his heart and said, "Hey, I feel sorry for the money! Come on, get a knife and bleed the dog. If you don't bleed, the meat won't be sold at a high price..."

He was carrying a plate of cabbage stewed with vermicelli. There were two or three pieces of oil in the dish. He was stunned when he saw the two brothers bleeding the dog. After asking, he understood what was going on.

"This old man... ah, what about that? You can continue with this dish, and I will go to the village later to shout."

Hearing this, Gao Yanhong didn't complain anymore and just said: "Okay, it has died. Why are you talking about this? Did it bite you and bleed? Let's take a look."

After Chang Beifeng came out with the knife, the old women all went into the house. There were children in the house. They dressed them, folded quilts, put the table, picked up bowls...

The Chang brothers raised dogs and made money by pointing them at them. They must have cared about dogs, but dogs are beasts. If they dare to bite their owners, it means they don't want to live anymore.

Niu Li was obviously pulling away from his beard, and Chang Xifeng certainly heard it and said, "This dog meat can be sold for five or six yuan anywhere, and the dog skin can be sold for four or five yuan. If you add one yuan, it will cost ten yuan."

Chang Xifeng rolled up his sleeves. There were two white marks on them, but there was no bleeding. "Fortunately, I wore thick clothes, otherwise I would have been doomed."

"No need to be polite, I have nothing to do."

Just like that, after finishing their morning meal, the Chang brothers skinned the dog, while Niu Li went to the front pole and shouted twice. Several people actually shrank back when they asked what the price was. .

After guessing half a point, Niu Li and Niu Le thought about it and came up with a countermeasure, that is, let several people join forces to buy the meat and divide the meat according to the amount of investment.

As it should be, Niu Li, who works with a purpose, is indeed very motivated. Even if there is no profit involved, in just twenty minutes, he sold out the meat of an old dog and sold it to four families. 1 yuan and 2 cents.

Some people may ask, why is dog meat so cheap? In fact, it is not cheap. Firstly, the meat of the old dog is rotten. Secondly, the old dog is too thin and there is not much meat except the bones. It costs 1 yuan and 2 cents to remove the bones, and the actual meat you can get is less than three kilograms. Good meat is not available. It's on the thigh.

Niu Li was not stupid. He divided the old dog into five parts and sold it. He filled in 5 cents and handed the yuan loose ticket to Chang Xifeng. Chang Xifeng gave the skinned dog to him without asking. He, Niu Li and Niu Le went to share the meat with the other four families in person. In the end, he also took more than two kilograms of clean meat and a few bones...

After regaining his health, Chang Xifeng was full of life again, forgetting all the unpleasantness of the morning, but when it was about to noon, an uninvited guest came uninvited!
He is Yang Dong, whom Gao Yanhong and Zhang Yan are most incompatible with.

Yang Dong had a purpose every time he came, and this time was no exception. As soon as he told what happened in Taipingtun this afternoon, the Chang brothers immediately became interested.

"How can you say that this leopard skin can be sold for three to four thousand! I came here to deliver a message to you two, not because I want to get a share of it. Even if I don't tell you, you two will know sooner or later, so I don't want anything this time... The letter is for you two. It’s up to you whether I’ll be beaten or not. If nothing happens, I’ll leave first.”

Gao Yanhong, who was originally listening to the wall in the outer room, was a little unhappy, but after hearing this, she immediately changed her face. When Yang Dong opened the door curtain and walked out, she said with a smile: "Dong, why don't you drink some water before leaving? ”

Yang Dong glanced at Gao Yanhong, half-smiled and said, "It's been more than ten minutes since I entered the house, and I didn't see what your teapot looks like. Haha, let's go!"

Watching Yang Dong leave, Gao Yanhong curled her lips with disdain, "What the hell is that?"

On the side, Zhang Yan said: "Hey, sister-in-law, it's good that he didn't get involved with my brother-in-law and Bei Feng this time. It's a good thing he's just a good person to deliver the letter. Why are you doing the same thing as him?"

Gao Yanhong nodded, opened the door curtain and entered the house. She looked at Chang Xifeng and said, "Master, is that leopard skin so valuable? Can it be sold for three or four thousand?"

Chang Xifeng nodded silently, thinking about the feasibility in his mind. He didn't do things just on a whim, but after careful consideration. However, he had been unlucky the past few times, and he was always stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother is thinking about something. That leopard skin is indeed valuable. One skin is worth two guts, but it's not easy to fight..."

Zhang Yan was not happy to listen to what he said and retorted: "If leopards were easy to fight, they would be extinct long ago! My sister-in-law and I support you two, but you have to be careful and don't mess around."

Gao Yanhong said: "That's not good, you have to be careful!"

These two girls have good views, but sometimes they can be quite fucked up. For example, Gao Yanhong is a bit petty, and Zhang Yan is fierce and hands-on. In order to increase the income of the family, as long as it is a job that makes money, no matter how dangerous it is, they never do it. If you try to stop me, you will strongly support me. The most I can say is: you two should be more careful. Chang Beifeng turned around and asked, "Brother, can we fight?"

"Fight! But you have to think of a way to fight."

"What's the trick?"

Chang Xifeng frowned and said, "Remember, when Chang Danian and I were running in the mountains before, he told us something. It seems that more than twenty years ago, there was a gang of people rowing rafts in the spring, and the raft got stuck in the river. Along the way, two people went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables and were eaten by leopards. Then when a group of people heard about it, they took two Hanyang zodiac pills and went to hunt the leopards..."

Chang Beifeng answered: "I remember this, Lao Chang said that those people have experience in hunting leopards. The leopards don't eat dead things, they only eat live ones, or they go to places with strong smells. This should be done during the day. He just lays down in the nest and doesn’t come out until night, just like our flower.”

Chang Xifeng nodded: "Yes, so we have to find something with a strong taste."

Hearing this, Gao Yanhong said, "Isn't that good? You just shot a dog to death this morning, and you just threw its blood in the pot and basin. Our family doesn't eat blood, so you can use it as bait."

Chang Xifeng raised his head, "Okay, my wife must have a brain!"

"Brother, why don't we pour dog blood into the snow? Is that okay? Besides the smell, there are no living things! If that doesn't work, why don't we find someone to cover the dog's skin hanging in the lower room? "

Chang Xifeng slapped him hard, "Stop being such a fool! Why don't you put on a dog's skin? If that old leopard pounces on you, your head will snap!"

Zhang Yan pinched Chang Beifeng's tender meat, gritted her teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just do whatever big brother says!"

Chang Beifeng grimaced in pain, but did not give in. "No, you have to use the whole living creature to do that. If you pour dog blood on the snow, can the old leopard come over?"

"Hey, just listen to big brother, okay?" Zhang Yan pinched harder and harder.

"Okay, okay..." Chang Beifeng could only surrender.

In the west room, Chang Lijuan was holding her child to sleep. Li Tong and the two children of the Chang brothers went out to play. She raised her head and glanced at Sun Cuiping and whispered: "Sister-in-law, you said you would let Feng follow our two brothers to hunt leopards, okay?" No?"

Sun Cuiping was sewing holes in her socks. She shook her head when she heard the sound, which was as quiet as the sound of mosquitoes: "It's too risky. Don't take advantage. It's troublesome enough to live in your brother's house for so long."

"Hey, I'm just looking to make some money. Old Biden at home is acting like a monster every day, and he can't even go back to his family... Sister-in-law, the boss of the Niu family has taken a liking to you, are you interested?"

Sun Cuiping lowered her head for a moment and waved her hands hurriedly: "No, Li Shan has just passed thirty-seven, how can I think blindly, besides, I am so much older than him, and there is Tongtong..."

Chang Lijuan did not care about so many things and said bluntly: "To put it bluntly, Li Shan is dead as long as he is dead. It is just right for him to die. If he is alive, can you live a comfortable life? I have talked with Feng about this. , he said that now he can make the decision in the family, if you are interested, he can find..."

Sun Cuiping said hurriedly: "No, I...I don't want to remarry so soon. Someone in the village should talk about it behind my back."

"What are you afraid of? You didn't talk much anymore before? You just didn't take notice of me."

Sun Cuiping remained silent, but her meaning was already expressed.

Chang Lijuan laughed twice and said, "I'll put this off for now. When Feng finds a place to live, I'll tell my brother..."

"Eh."

At noon, the Chang brothers hurriedly made two bowls of rice, then went to the old forest in the south carrying shotguns, cloth bags and a pot of dog blood.

The two of them followed the crop fields into the forest, and not long after walking they spotted the leopard's tracks. They followed the tracks and deliberately chose a location not far from the narrow road to Xima Duozi to sprinkle the dog's blood.

Chang Xifeng did this for a reason, because the snow in the old forest was thick. If they missed the leopard, they would run towards the narrow road, maybe there would be a chance of survival.

If Xu Ning knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud, because running on a narrow road is like running into a leopard's mouth. How fast is a leopard? If it really runs, even a jeep might not be able to catch it.

This is because the Chang brothers are inexperienced and believe that leopards and black blind men are animals with fangs and claws, and no matter how powerful they are, they can't beat a shotgun.

The two made a snow nest more than 40 meters north of where the blood was spilled. They lay down directly next to the fallen tree and covered themselves with white cloth to camouflage themselves. One of the brothers stared ahead, and the other glanced around behind.

Is this a good place to choose? No, but they did one thing right, which was to sprinkle blood. After the blood was frozen into ice slag, humans could not smell it, but animals could smell it no matter how far away they were.

Leopards are cats and are naturally very curious. How can you not take a look when you smell blood? Even if you are not close, you still have to come and take a look. It is normal to leave after seeing no living things.

In addition, the Chang brothers were so anxious about doing things that they fell down after one o'clock. They lay motionless for more than four points in the snow nest. Their whole bodies were shivering from the cold, their fingers were frozen stiff, and their upper and lower teeth were trembling.

Until nearly six o'clock, the sky was already dark, and the leopard was never seen, so Chang Beifeng became a little anxious.

"Brother, no, let's go back. I can't feel my feet."

"Bear it! Where are you now? If this had happened before when we were aiding Korea, I would have been lying in the snow for a whole day without being able to move!"

Chang Beifeng didn't say anything and endured it for half a moment. At this moment, Chang Beifeng felt like there were bugs in his stomach. He opened his mouth and kept biting his spleen and stomach, which instantly made him break out in a cold sweat!
"Brother, my stomach hurts!"

The pain in his stomach may be due to cold. You must know that he lay in the snow for nearly five o'clock, and he was too anxious to eat at noon, so he choked when he came out...

"Why do you force so many things?"

"Oh shit, I can't hold it anymore! What the hell, I want to pull it off!"

Chang Xifeng turned around and saw that Chang Beifeng had emerged from the white cloth and curled up into the shape of a shrimp in the snow. He was heartbroken and urged: "Hurry up! Don't put it in your pants pockets."

Hearing this, Chang Beifeng stood up with a whoosh and hurriedly ran back. Chang Xifeng reminded: "Don't go too far!"

Chang Beifeng was really obedient. After only running for more than twenty meters, he untied his trousers and squatted under a thick-legged oak tree. His facial features were distorted and deformed. With a squeeze, he suddenly felt comfortable and smooth...

While he was solving the problem, Chang Xifeng turned his head and flexed his stiff fingers twice, continuing to stare at the blood in front of him.

I have to say that these two brothers are really cruel in order to make some money. How can ordinary people have such perseverance?

Five or six minutes later, Chang Beifeng felt that his stomach felt much better, but he could no longer feel anything. He quickly found a branch to scrape, but don't break it into pieces. Zhang Yan would inevitably give him a beating when he got home. beat.

When Chang Beifeng was touching the branches, he suddenly saw a pair of shining eyes, looking at him curiously. Chang Beifeng almost sat down in fear. He stared blankly at those eyes, in the dark forest. Inside, you can only see the spots on the other person's body. Although it's not clear, you can still identify what kind of animal it is!
Chang Beifeng wanted to call his elder brother, but he tried to open his mouth several times to shout, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make any sound...
