Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 96 Are these wolves raised by humans? Li Guaizi

On the side, Huang Big Speaker listened to them playing riddles, then turned around and stretched out his neck, curiously asking: "What's going on? What sound are you hearing? Why are we playing in the same group?"

Huang Guofu said with a sad face: "Brother, don't ask, we are here to help, but don't cause trouble."

"What are you causing trouble? I'll just ask."

Huang Dada turned to look at Xu Ning and asked: "Hey, second boy, what do you mean? Is it the incident where you were watching three tigers in the mountains a few days ago?"

After Xu Ning, Wang Hu, Chai Bing and Li Fuqiang heard what he said, they were stunned and turned to stare at him.

Huang Dadao's heart trembled, "Are you looking at me? I didn't say anything."

Chai Bing frowned and stared at him, "How do you know we are watching the three tigers?"

"Just the night before, the driver who picked me up told me, but he didn't speak well. You can keep chatting with me."

Chai Bing clenched his fists and said angrily: "This little Liangzi has a long mouth for nothing, and he grins at everything."

"Hey, the driver and I are quite good friends. We were chatting together. He was a nice guy and very particular! He even gave me rice cakes to eat on the street. I was looking for someone, so I packed some animals to deliver to him. Woolen cloth."

As it should be, except for Huang Da Xiao's loose mouth, he is almost like a normal person, and he also values ​​friendship.

"That's not necessary, you can keep it for yourself." Chai Bing replied.

Huang Dadao said: "I won't call you..."

"Brother, let's calm down for a while!" Huang Guofu came over and said with a loudspeaker.

"I'm sorry, third child."

Chai Bing turned his head away from him, and when he was about to speak, he heard Li Fuqiang exclaim in surprise.

"Brother! Take a look at this guy. Are there wolf paw prints?"

Xu Ning heard the sound and ran towards him quickly. When she came to him, she saw a series of paw prints spreading down the mountain.

"This is a fox paw print..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ning turned to look at Zhang Liang and asked, "Are there any ditches or ponds in this area?"

"Yes, it's not far from the cellar, more than two miles away."

"Did you go to Goutangzi yesterday?"

"No, I don't care about the south and the north."

Xu Ning squinted and pondered. Li Fuqiang saw that he didn't speak for a long time and asked, "What do you say, brother?"

"Let's go take a look at the cellar first before talking."

"Eh!"

Xu Ning turned to Chai Bing and said, "Third brother, we have to leave quickly."

"Got it!"

Huang Dadao followed behind and muttered: "What's going on? Why are you telling me behind my back?"

"Brother, let's leave quickly."

The fox in the Northeast is the red fox. They are very adaptable and can survive in any environment.

They are willing to eat rats, jumping cats, and birds. Sometimes when food is scarce, they will also choose to eat some carrion.

Why did Xu Ning judge that there was a ditch or pond nearby when he saw the fox's footprints?
  Because Goutangzi is an area where rats, jumping cats and other small animals are most active in winter, Xu Ning just asked, but he didn't expect that there was actually a Goutangzi nearby.

In summer and autumn, wild boars are also willing to burrow into ditches and ponds to hang up their mud armor, to cool off and repel mosquitoes, and to take a bath.

Since there are so many livestock in the ditch and pond, the presence of wild beasts must be inevitable.

Xu Ning was quite puzzled as to who built the underground cellar near here. If he dared to live here, he must be a fierce man.

Everyone hurried over the mountain, and soon they saw the underground cellar.

The cellar is built on a gentle slope, facing southeast. The roof is triangular, and the bottom is flat with the ground. It sinks one and a half meters into the gentle slope. There is a ditch that gradually deepens and leads to the door.

The whole structure is made of wood, with a layer of snow covering the top, and a layer of urala grass underneath the snow.

But Xu Ning and others did not enter the underground cellar, but went directly to the snow thirty meters away to the right rear of the underground cellar.

The ground covered with white snow was sprinkled with bright red blood stains, some in patches, and some in patches.

Xu Ning squatted on the ground, picked up a rag, and then carefully looked at the traces on the ground.

There are many messy footprints on the ground, including wolf paw prints, human footprints, and dog prints...

Xu Ning looked across. It was a pile of rocks covered with moss. There were several boulders stacked on top of each other. It looked like it could be more than three meters high.

There were several wolf paw prints left on the bluestone. Xu Ning looked at the paw prints and frowned, "This green man is not small."

Qingpizi is another name for wolf, and there is also another name for Zhang San.

"What did you see?" the loudspeaker muttered.

Li Fuqiang looked up at him, ignored him, turned around and asked, "Brother, how big does this have to be?"

"Why do I have to weigh about 100 catties?"

"Fuck, this boss?"

Northeastern wolves are prairie wolves, with a maximum weight of 120 kilograms and an average weight of about 60-80 kilograms.

They mainly hunt sika deer, red deer, roe deer, musk deer, badger, etc. They eat and bury the prey. Every time they eat, the prey is torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.

"Then how many heads are there? Can you tell?"

"Judging from the paw prints on the ground, I estimate there are about six or seven of them."

Xu Ning looked at Zhang Liang and asked: "Whose used to be the cellar? Why was it built for the cellar?" "The cellar? I don't know. I went up the mountain with my brother and found it last year. It was about to collapse, so we repaired it later and tried to find a place to stay when we went up the mountain."

Chai Bing said, "My old man should know. I'll ask when I get back."

At this time, Huang Guofu said: "The cellar here should belong to Li Guaizi. I was not sure yesterday when I looked at it, but I only remembered this person when I went back and asked my father."

Chai Bing raised his eyebrows and said, "Li Guaizi? Isn't he dead?"

Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang were a little puzzled as they listened to the two of them playing riddles.

Wang Hu asked: "Who is Li Guaizi?"

"Li Guaizi is Li Erpao! If he had been alive for more than seventy years, he had fought two big cats thirty years ago, and he was the one who was armed with a machine gun. He was lame in that battle. Later, something happened to him and he came out At that time, everyone in his family died, so he stayed in the mountains for six or seven years..."

"He shot two big cats with a machine gun? Are the two big cats dead?"

"One of them died, and the other's leg was limp and he ran away. I've also heard about it. Anyone who's a bit older knows this."

Xu Ning nodded when he heard this and asked: "Does this Li Guaizi know anything? For example, he can imitate bird calls, roe deer calls, dog barks, wolf howls, and so on."

"Yes! How did you know?" Huang Guofu nodded and said, "I heard from my father that this Li Guaizi is good at ventriloquism. He can imitate the sounds of animals in the mountains. His sounds are very similar to those of real people."

Li Fuqiang asked: "What, brother, what did you think of?"

Xu Ning glanced at Zhang Liang, shook his head and said, "I think these wolves should be raised by someone. How did Li Guaizi die?"

"It can't be three or four years, isn't it? Third child."

"Yeah, you have to have it." Chai Bing nodded.

Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard Xu Ning's words, and then shouted excitedly: "What the hell? Are these wolves raised by humans? What a bastard, who raised them?...Li, Li Guaizi?"

Zhang Liang looked blankly at Xu Ning and the others, while Chai Bing, Huang Guofu, and Da Xiaoxiao also turned to look at Xu Ning.

"I can't be prepared. I'm just guessing. I heard someone say that there are people who can learn to howl like a wolf, then attract the wolf over, and then train it to be like a dog they raise at home."

"Fuck! You can't do that. This is too mysterious. Training a wolf into a dog? Is that a human being?"

"If a beast as wild as a wolf can really be trained to look like a dog, how much better will it be compared to a cow?"

"How can this animal listen to people?"

Xu Ning said: "Wolves cannot understand human speech, but they can understand wolf howls."

"What the hell, if these wolves were really raised by Li Guaizi, then I would really have to fuck his eight generations of ancestors. How wicked! Malebi..."

Xu Ning looked at Zhang Liang's face flushed with excitement and asked, "How many times have you and your brother lived here?"

"Just this once! Who would want to live here? It's so dark and cold at night."

At this time, Huang Daxiao, who had been obedient next to him, muttered: "That's it. You and your brother have occupied the den of the owner of the wolf pack. If the wolves don't eat you, how can they keep you?"

"Oh, fuck..."

Li Fuqiang blinked his eyes and lamented that the loudspeaker was so loud and so stinky that Zhang Liang choked.

I saw Zhang Liang pointing at him with a glare, "What the hell are you talking about? We are both happy. Who is willing to stay in this cold and snowy world? Why don't I just want to earn some money to marry my brother a wife? I It's a really good idea, but I never thought..."

When he said this, Zhang Liang choked up, tears streaming down his face, and he burst into tears from his nose.

Da Xiaoxiao stared at him crying for a moment, rubbed his face and said, "Did I say anything... I didn't say anything."

Huang Guofu's teeth were itching with hatred. He pointed his finger at the loudspeaker and said, "Brother, please stop causing trouble! Can you?"

Turning around, Huang Guofu comforted Zhang Liang again.

Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu and Chai Bing stood aside and listened, feeling a little confused.

My little brother can't see people alive or dead now, but you have a big trumpet. You can yell at the top of your lungs and go straight to the core of people's hearts.

"This loudspeaker really stinks, just look at it for this little brother."

"But it's not good. I don't know whether my brother is alive or dead. He has become a judge and is still living in someone else's house. How can someone feed a wolf without paying for it..."

Xu Ning scolded Wang Hu and told him to shut up and stop talking. If he continued talking, his crying would be endless.

Chai Bing turned to look at Xu Ning and asked, "Brother, what should we do if these wolves are raised by humans?"

"It's not easy to deal with it. We need to find people first, and we can leave if we can see the wolf. If the wolves are really raised by people, these wolves are quite intelligent. The wolves in the wild are very intelligent and are not easy to kill."

"Well, our guns are loaded, so we won't be afraid if we encounter them."

Xu Ning shook his head: "That won't work. If you really encounter it, you have to leave. The wolf should be very vindictive. If you shoot it and cuddle it, it will remember it for a lifetime. You have to be careful when you go up the mountain. So either don't mess with it or mess with it. If they do, they will all be killed."

Chai Bing nodded: "Well, then I'll listen to you. If you say I'll fight, I'll fight. If you don't, we'll leave."

Xu Ning glanced at the loudspeaker. This guy was leaning against a tree rolling a cigarette. You can tell me that this thing must be very irritating.

Zhang Liang, who was standing next to him, was also crying to the end, so Xu Ning said: "Brother Zhang Liang, shall we continue looking? It looks like it's noon now."

Zhang Liang understood the meaning of his words, and said twitchingly: "Let's eat first, okay? After eating, I have to trouble you to help find my brother..."

"Okay, let's have a hot meal."

Li Fuqiang suggested: "Brother, let's go to the underground cellar to take shelter from the wind? It will be warmer inside."

"Don't go, just wait outside to hold the fire. The wolf's nose is very useful, but it's not good to see if you stay inside. If they come and surround us, we won't be able to get out of the house, and it's hard to take anything with us."

Chai Bing came over and asked, "Brother, why are you just leaving this pack of wolves here?"

"We can't be prepared... Third brother, let's be more careful."

"Got it."
