Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 164 Four Yellow Dogs
As soon as I entered the yard of the second uncle's house, I heard a group of dogs barking.

Following the sound, I saw four big yellow dogs looking at me and barking, but they didn't show their teeth. It seemed that the main purpose of barking was to notify the owner of the house that someone was coming to the house.

Wang An knew at a glance that these were the four mountain dogs that had been dragged away!
Because all four dogs have healed scars, and the scars are all in the shape of being scratched or bitten, which also proves that these four yellow dogs have experienced many tough battles.

In fact, in the Northeast, as long as it is a hunting dog that often drives mountains, it is impossible not to be injured, and it is impossible not to go through tough battles!
Unless the owner of the dog, that is, the mountain driver, is not doing his job properly! In other words, the owner of this dog is not a full-time mountain driver at all. He only occasionally goes for a walk in the mountains, playing cat jumping and catching pheasants.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for the mountain driver to prevent the hunting dog from being injured!

Normally, the purpose of training hunting dogs is to drive mountains and hunt. To put it bluntly, it is to eat meat and have money to spend!
Otherwise, why go to all the trouble of training hunting dogs? I’m so full that I have nothing to do?

You know, it is not an easy task to drag a dog into a hunting dog chasing mountains! If you have a trailed hunting dog at home, it is quite worry-free and easy to use the hunting dog to take care of the new dog.

If the hunter is dragging the dog from beginning to end, not to mention other links, just training the hunting dog to chase can exhaust the hunter training the dog to death. It is really risking his life to lead the dog to run away!
The key problem is that even if the dog is dragged out, the damage rate is still quite high.

The experience of mountain drivers relies on the teachings of old mountain drivers or accumulated bit by bit by themselves.

The same is true for dogs. If an inexperienced hunting dog encounters ferocious beasts such as cannon eggs, blind bears, jackals, tigers and leopards, it is very likely that they will be picked to death, beaten to death, or bitten to death in just one round!

Isn't it a pity? Is it uncomfortable? It was finally dragged out, but it died before it could be used.

Besides, people have feelings. After dragging and training dogs for such a long time, the relationship between people and dogs has become like that of relatives. As a dog owner, if you can do nothing to watch the dog die, then How are you feeling, how fucked up are you?
One can imagine!

Looking at these four big yellow dogs, Wang An was stunned. Yesterday, Mu Xueli bought three dogs, and today he saw the four dogs that Wang Li bought!
When did these two people decide to fix the dog?
Or are these two people competing? Are you comparing who grooms the dog better?

Is this efficiency so impressive? After not seeing each other for a day, all the dogs of the two people were alive! Awesome, really awesome!
Wang An thought about it carefully and then understood what was going on.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li must have been frightened by the appearance of three black blind men and seven wolves! Otherwise, these two people would definitely not have such a tacit understanding that they would mess with each other.

But yes, if those things are all pushed out together, no matter who is left there, they are so scared. If they can survive this time, they are actually lucky!
However, there is nothing wrong with the two of them grooming the dog together. Given the situation at that time, if there were more dogs, the grooming wouldn't be so bad!
Besides, I only have my three dogs to go up the mountain, which is a bit lacking in strength. And my five puppies haven’t grown up yet, so it’s impossible to bring them into the mountain!
Hearing the dog barking, Wang Li walked out of the house. When he saw it was his fourth brother, Wang Li quickly grabbed Wang An and said excitedly: "Fourth brother, look at my mother and my father. "Bring me back four dogs, please help me see how these four dogs are doing." When Wang An heard that these four dogs were the masterpieces of the second mother and the second uncle, he couldn't help but understand in his heart, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!
Wang Daliang and Yao Ping knew that it was dangerous to drive up the mountain, but they still let Wang Li drive up the mountain. They were really helpless! The foreign debt is heavy, survival is difficult, and there is no way to make money. If Wang Li does not drive away the mountain, what will happen?
But what they can do is try to make their son as safe as possible!
The second mother-in-law Yao Ping's natal family is more than 40 miles away from Kaoshantun. The couple walked back and forth once a day, but they did not go to their own house to borrow a sledge!

The characters of these two couples show how strong they are! At the same time, it can also be seen that when Er Niang asked me to take Wang Li into the mountains, how much courage did she muster up to say it under the influence of alcohol?
Wang An knew that Wang Shun, the second brother of the second uncle's family, was not idle all year round. In the spring, he was busy farming to earn work points, in the summer, he earned work points by building canals or building dams, and in the autumn, in addition to earning work points from harvesting, he also collected mountain products. Although it is not very valuable, as long as the quantity is large, you can earn 40 to 50 cents a day. In winter, you can work as a coolie in the forest farm!

Working as a coolie in a forest farm is really tiring, and the most important thing is that you don’t earn much money. Temporary workers in the forest farm cost 17.5 yuan a month. Although the work is not light, it is not very tiring.

But working hard is different. It can be said that it is far inferior to temporary workers in forest farms. In many places on the mountain, mules, horses and other livestock cannot get up, and they can only be pulled down by manpower. There are large tree trunks that can only be hugged by several people. A standard 6-meter-long piece is a long one. You can imagine how tiring this job is!
The most important thing is that it only costs 40 cents a day, whether you want to do it or not, there will be countless people waiting to do this job.

But then again, no matter when ordinary people want to live a relaxed life, it is impossible!
Wang An followed Wang Li to the four dogs and observed the four yellow dogs carefully.

In fact, regardless of whether it is a yellow dog, a black dog, a white dog, a spotted dog or a green dog, except for the different colors and different dog faces, the breed is the same. They are all big dumb dogs from the Northeast.

And even if puppies are born in a litter, it is extremely normal for the colors or patterns to be different. This mainly depends on how many colors of male dogs the female dog has mated with when she was born.

However, in order to preserve the continuation of hunting dogs with good scents, the most important thing is that the mountaineers will find two equally excellent hunting dogs, one male and one female, and let them mate alone, so that the offspring they produce will generally be the same, with the same pattern and color. Most of them are the same, and in a litter of puppies, there will usually be a good alpha dog.

There are also many hunters who will find ways to capture wolf cubs to raise, or directly capture wolves alive and let the wolves mate with dogs. Although this is definitely better than the dogs themselves, it is just that there are too few and it is too difficult. Where is the wolf? It's so easy to catch!
It is normal for big mutts to have 3-5 babies in a litter. It is normal for small dogs or dogs to have one or two in the first litter, but it is quite rare to have six or seven babies in a litter.

As long as they are mountain drivers, most of them keep dogs, and the descendants of such excellent hunting dogs are the favorites of mountain drivers!
If the conditions are not good, raise one or two, and if the conditions are good, raise three or four, that is, just raise a litter. In this way, several dogs that grow up together will cooperate better with each other when hunting.

The number of mountaineers who raise five or six or more animals by themselves is very small. The reason is very simple, it costs too much and I really can’t afford it!

After observing the four yellow dogs, Wang An felt very good about them, especially one of the female dogs. Although it was the smallest, it was the best among the four dogs. Compared with Wang An's Dahei and Mu Xueli's Daqing, , except that they are smaller because they are female dogs, everything else is basically the same.
