Tibetan Mastiff Notes

Chapter 15 Fighting the Wolves (5)
On the vast prairie, prairie wolves are the most common animals. Herdsmen grazing on the prairie often encounter wolves from time to time, but those wolves do not often attack humans, unless they cannot find food.It stands to reason that now is autumn, when the wild rabbits and rats on the grassland are at their fattest, and wolves can find a lot of food.A seasonal food menu is listed in the wolf's brain, and when the corresponding season arrives, they will search for the most suitable food for them according to the season and route in the brain.However, this autumn seems to be a bit unusual, it is colder than previous years, maybe the animals also have a premonition that this winter will not be easy, the itinerary will be a little earlier or later, or the previous year’s route will be changed.Therefore, in order to snatch as much food as possible before winter, the wolves no longer care about the so-called territorial restrictions. The big wolves break into the territory of the small wolves, and the winner is king. As long as they grab food, it is the truth. For a big family, the task of the head wolf is also very difficult.

When Gesang and I were discussing these issues, the wolf below with the broken upper part of its mouth kept howling, sobbing, as if it was crying loudly. I don't know why the wolf was so sad.Gesang said, "It won't survive."

I remembered the story that Uncle Dorji had told me when I first arrived at Uncle Dorji’s house, so I nodded and agreed with Gesang’s words, because this wolf has lost the ability to take care of itself and its attack power, and the head wolf will not come back again. Need it now.If the alpha wolf is kind, it will be driven out of the wolf pack. If the alpha wolf is vicious, then the wolf will have to die.

We were very unlucky and encountered a ferocious pack of big wolves, and the wolf with the broken mouth was surrounded by several big wolves.Maybe the alpha wolf couldn't stand its howling, so he bit down on its throat first, and the blood flowed down the wolf's mouth.

It was the first time I saw the same kind killing each other with my own eyes, and I finally understood why human beings compare those cruel and unsympathetic people to "wolf ambition" and "wolf heart and dog lung". I felt a bit chilled.When I think of the fact that human beings will also use and harm each other because of the drive of interests, the sadness in my heart is even heavier.Wolves don't shy away from showing their ferocity in front of humans, but some humans wear hypocritical masks, talk about kindness, and hold knives in their hands.This is sad, sometimes, some humans may not be as good as animals...

"Brother, what should we do?" Gesang looked at the pack of wolves who refused to leave for a long time under the tree, his heart was a little hairy, and I felt his body was a little stiff.Gesang didn't know how to climb trees, and he was even more afraid of falling from the tree. If he fell, he would be torn to pieces by the wolves under the tree, so Gesang held onto the branches tightly.I told Gesang: "It's okay, don't be afraid, at most we can spend one night in the tree, and the wolves will retreat at dawn tomorrow morning. Besides, everyone will find here at that time. There are many people, and the wolves are not the same." You idiot, if you can't win, of course you have to run away."

"But, will we consume energy for one night?" Gesang asked me worriedly.He told me that when he first shot rabbits, he wasted a lot of bullets in order to practice marksmanship.I asked him, "How many bullets are there?" Gesang held the branches with both hands, not daring to move, and asked me to count them myself.

I took out the small bag in his arms and counted it, only six!At most, six wolves would be killed. If one was lucky, one bullet would pierce two wolves' heads... But it was impossible. How could there be such good luck every time?Besides, wolves are not stupid, can they stand side by side and wait for you to shoot?I took the gun and loaded it with a bullet. It is not practical to use these bullets to shoot wolves. There are too many wolves to finish shooting. I can only put a shot when the wolves are ready to act to act as a deterrent. Use it to buy yourself a little more time.

It was getting dark soon.It was better at dawn, but when it got dark, I could hear the whistling wind in the woods.In the darkness, pairs of green eyeballs radiated hunger. When I thought of those ferocious wolves, my scalp tingled and goosebumps popped out all over my body.Gesang was a little anxious, and asked me, "Why didn't Dad and the others come to look for us?" I said, "Of course I will, but I haven't found it here yet. Who would have thought that we would go so far? Besides, I don't know." I hope they come here now, there are too many wolves, if they don't have a safety measure, wouldn't it be a waste of lives?"

Gesang fell silent, hugging the tree trunk tightly.The wind in the autumn night was very cold, and the crescent moon at the top of the treetops made people feel even more lonely. I felt a chill creeping up my back and Gesang's body was also shrunk from the cold.The wolves are not afraid of the cold. On the contrary, they are more active in the dark night. A few big wolves pounced on the big tree under the command of the head wolf, but the trunk was very thick, and the wolves pounced for a long time. It didn't shake us down either, but the leaves shook for a while.

The wolves stopped attacking and began to rest, but they were very unwilling, and there were still a few wolves circling around the tree trunk.To comfort Gesang, I smiled and said, "Gesang, look, these wolves are serving as our bodyguards!"

The wind blew up the bloody smell of the dead wolf. When I said these words, I felt a little terrified in my heart.

It was late at night, and the wolves launched several pounces, but failed.Gesang relaxed his vigilance a little bit, he was a little drowsy and wanted to doze off, probably because I was by his side, so he was relieved a lot, and even slowly closed his eyes.I knew he was sleepy and tired, and I was actually sleepy too, but when I saw the dozens of pairs of green eyes under the tree, all the drowsiness was immediately driven away without a trace.

When I was in the Special Forces, two brigades held a selection competition. In order to be shortlisted, I didn’t rest for a minute for three days and three nights. When I finally arrived at the destination, I couldn’t open my eyes, but I got over it.I shook Gesang awake and told him: "Now is not the time to sleep. We must stay vigilant. As long as we relax a little bit, the wolves will take advantage of them."

Gesang regained his energy and looked under the tree with his eyes wide open. The wolves were a little anxious and walked back and forth under the tree.What I know is that a wolf is actually a very patient animal. It can chase its prey for tens of kilometers without stopping for a whole day, and it can also nest for several days to wait for a prey.

The wolves in front were obviously showing us a show. I felt something ominous, so I turned my head and looked behind me. I was shocked when I saw it.Two wolves stood under the tree, motionless, and the other two stood a little further away, and were about to charge towards the tree.I remembered that there was a subject in the army training, which was to climb high walls. One way was to climb over by yourself, and the other way was to build a human ladder with your companions.To be honest, I couldn't believe it at the time, how could a wolf know how to build a wolf ladder?I always thought that the wolves described in novels or books were so clever, it was just a beautiful plot or a scam, and I never believed it was true, but now, I have to believe it.

I handed the gun to Gesang for self-defense, and told him: "If the wolf pounces on you, hit the wolf's head with the butt of the gun, preferably on the middle of the bridge of the nose. Hit hard, and the wolf will be stunned. It’s too little, let’s save it.” Then, I held the sharp knife tightly in my hand and stared at the two wolves behind.This sharp knife was just given to me by my uncle. It was a sharp weapon he carried with him when he was hunting. It is a treasure, and the Tibetan knife is not ordinary sharp.

Some people say that wolves can fly, I don't believe it, but it can be understood as jumping.Now, the two wolves were ready to jump. They first backed up for a while, and then rushed towards this side suddenly. Pressing their front paws on the back of the wolf ladder, their whole bodies flew into the air.When a wolf leaps in mid-air, it can also twist its waist according to its target to adjust its direction.The two wolves pounced on the tree branch at the same time. For the first time, they were not high enough and far away from the tree branch, so they only grabbed a few pieces of bark.

The two wolves rested for a while, and jumped up the tree for the second time, but this time it was still a bit short, because the tree branch was too high, and the speed and strength of the wolves' jumping could not reach that height.The wolves were in a commotion for a while, and the leader of the wolf replaced two stronger wolves.

Fifteen, the big black arrived, the wolves were defeated
These two wolves were very fat and strong, and they should be regarded as thugs or left and right guardians in this pack of wolves.They are fat and strong, tall, and the first time they pounced, one wolf grabbed the edge of the branch.I was amazed at the wolf's vertical jumping ability, worried about Gesang's safety, and reminded him to be more careful. Gesang let out a "hmm", gripped the barrel of the gun tightly, and pointed the butt of the gun outside.

The second time, the wolves pounced even higher, and the two wolves pounced on the tree branch. When they were in the air, their hind paws kicked on the tree trunk, and their whole bodies rushed towards Gesang and me.Gesang became anxious, forgot what he was supposed to do, and held the gun in a daze.The situation was critical, and before I had time to think too much, I clamped my legs tightly to the branch of the tree, twisted the jaw of a wolf with my left hand, and stabbed forward with a sharp knife in my right hand.A stream of blood sprayed out from the wolf's mouth and sprayed all over my face, mixed with a stench. The wolf's throat was pierced by a sharp knife, and before it could howl, it fell straight to the tree.

The big wolf on the left was still struggling, and I pinched its lower jaw tightly. In panic, it stretched out its two front paws and grabbed my chest, and smashed my camouflage military uniform with a whimper up.Knowing that I must not panic at this time, I casually turned the point of the knife back and cut off a wolf's claw. I used the opportunity to press the wolf's head with my right hand, and when I exerted force with my left and right hands, there was a crisp click, and the wolf's jaw was stiffened by me. Torn apart, with another yank with the left hand, the wolf's lower jaw, tongue and trachea were ripped out.

I let go of my hand, and the wolf fell straight down the tree. Before dying, its paws reflexively grabbed me a few times, leaving two bloodstains on my right arm.I took a breath and asked Gesang, "Why didn't you just hit it with the butt of the gun? Why are you in a daze?"

It may be that after I finished killing the wolf, the fierce look on my face and the blood all over my face stimulated Gesang and made him feel a little terrified. He seemed to be a little afraid of me, so he shivered and said, "Brother is really powerful, I ...I was scared just now, and then I was anxious, and I forgot what I was holding in my hand." Actually, I was so nervous just now, who is not afraid of death?No matter how capable people are, they will be afraid, but they can respond more vigilantly while being afraid, knowing how to deal with the fear in front of them, but Gesang is still not good enough, obviously not able to adapt to this situation.

I tried to relax my facial expression, pulled a handful of leaves, wiped my face clean, and comforted him with a smile: "Silly boy, what is there to be afraid of? How can you be a soldier in the future when you are so timid and flustered? Be a special soldier! Like you are now, that’s no good, you can’t even get in the door.” When I said that I couldn’t even get in the door, Gesang’s aura was aroused by me, he straightened up, Holding the gun tightly, he assured me: "Brother, don't worry, I'm not afraid of death, I want to learn from you!" I laughed and said, "It's not enough just not to be afraid of death, you have to have enough guts and skills , You need to know how to find the enemy's weak points at different times and in different places, and then strike, with the smallest sacrifice in exchange for the greatest protection, understand?"

Gesang nodded half-understanding, then suddenly pointed to the tree and said, "Look, the wolf is about to pounce on it again!"

Sure enough, as Gesang said, the alpha wolf was enraged after sacrificing three of his companions. It once again organized a death squad, ready to attack the target in the tree again. It became four teams, and the number of groups doubled.I know that it is not practical to deal with four ferocious wolves by myself at the same time. Now, Gesang must bear part of the responsibility and risk.

I reminded Gesang: "This time, you can't be in a daze anymore, otherwise, either I will be pulled down, or you will be pulled down, and one of them will be torn to pieces by wolves. If you are really not sure, you will shoot. "My words are not alarmist. Gesang also understands the urgency of the situation. He may have been shocked by the ferocity of my killing the wolf just now. He also put on a ferocious expression and firmly grasped the gun in his hand.

Four wolves rushed forward from four directions.Because of the condescending vantage point and my first experience, my counterattack was easier this time.First, I quickly cut the throat of one wolf with a single knife, then grabbed the neck of another wolf with my left hand, and then made another knife.In just a few seconds, although a few more streaks of blood were caught on the arms, the two wolves were wiped out.Gesang didn't shoot, he hit a wolf on the forehead with the butt of his gun, and the wolf fell down, but another wolf grabbed his trouser leg, and the wolf fell down, pulling Gesang as well. down.That's too late!Gesang's body had already fallen, I turned around hastily, and grabbed Gesang's hair.This kid didn't cut his hair short like Uncle Duoji's. He has been wearing a braid for many years. Now, it is this braid that saved his life.I grabbed Gesang's braid, and then stretched out my other hand to grab his neck collar, but the wolf refused to let go of its claws, and threw Gesang down with its own weight.Gesang's scalp ached from being pulled, and in a panic, he stretched his hands upwards vigorously. I grabbed Gesang's hand, but the gun fell down.

The wolf still refused to let go of its paws, so I pulled Gesang up vigorously, and the wolf kept thumping underneath, pulling Gesang down. The wolves all surrounded Gesang.Gesang was also in a hurry. He was quick to use his wits and sucked his belly tightly. It was also because he hadn't eaten all afternoon and his stomach was already empty. This sucking made his waistline shrink a lot.The wolf below pulled Gesang's trousers off.With his bare legs, Gesang was finally pulled up to the branch by me.

After a thrilling adventure, Gesang and I were a little bit exhausted, and the gun fell down, and there was no longer any long-range attack weapon. Now only a sharp knife and four fleshy palms remained.

Five wolves died, one was bitten to death by the head wolf, four were killed by me, but there are still many green eyes shining with hunger under the tree, what should I do?
Gesang's trousers were ripped off by the wolf. Fortunately, he was still wearing a Tibetan robe, which was very long and could cover his legs, so that it would not be too cold in the middle of the night, but the cold still came from under his buttocks. Going up, Gesang hugged the tree branch and shivered.While I was comforting Gesang, I was on the lookout for the wolves under the tree. After losing their troops, the wolves did not dare to act rashly anymore, but scattered around the tree, waiting for the opportunity.

Gesang didn’t dare to doze off anymore, and I didn’t dare to sleep even more, but I couldn’t survive the long night, so I stared at the wolves under the tree while telling Gesang stories about my time in the army. In this way, Time might pass a little faster.

The days on the grassland are much longer than the nights, but the nights are actually very short. If Gesang and I persisted for a while, the sky would almost dawn.At that time, I believe that Uncle Duoji will find it here. Even if he can't find it, but Dahei's nose is very good, he will definitely be able to smell us from a long distance.

After persevering for a long time, it was almost dawn, and the wolves were a little restless. The alpha wolf was a little restless, walking back and forth under the tree, and suddenly picked up the gun and ran out.I don't know what the wolf was trying to do, after a while, it ran back again, this time with an empty mouth, and the gun was gone!Only then did I understand that the alpha wolf was diverting our weapons, and it seemed to be preparing to launch the last attack before dawn.I reminded Gesang, cheer up, the wolves are about to attack again!

Gesang looked left and right, and the gun fell down. He wanted to find something to defend himself. I twisted off a thicker branch, and used a sharp knife to cut the front end of the branch to an extremely sharp point.I handed the sharp knife to Gesang and asked him to hold it for self-defense, and then I held the branch tightly in my hand.Gesang asked me worriedly: "Brother, will the branch be useful? Otherwise, I'll give you the knife. You're so powerful. Giving you the knife is more useful than giving it to me."

I didn't have time to explain too much to him, so I stared at the wolves under the tree without turning my head, and said, "Don't be a mother-in-law, hold on to the knife and keep an eye on the wolves. I have received special training, even if it is a branch, It's also stronger than the knife in your hand." Gesang fell silent, he felt guilty for throwing away the gun, if the gun was still in his hand at this time, it would be of great use.

I could have killed the leader wolf with one shot. Although the wolves would not leave because of the death of the leader wolf, at least we could buy some precious time before they re-established a new leader.But now, the gun was gone, and there was only a hard load, and the wolves began to attack under the tree again, and several wolves began to dig the soil under the tree roots.Now I really admire these wolves, they can come up with so many ghost ideas.People say that foxes are cunning. In my opinion, wolves are no worse than foxes, even more cunning and suspicious than foxes.

A wolf may dig the soil very slowly, but when several wolves dig together, it is like a small excavator, and the soil will fly out. After a while, a tree is dug out under the tree. Big pit.The wolves pounced on the trunk in groups. I knew the roots of the tree were deep and the tree would not fall due to the pounce of wolves, but the trunk was shaking a little. I held on to Gesang's collar for fear that he would fall .

I never experienced such a nervous mood when the troops were engaged in exercises or when they were ready to set off after receiving a mission. My heart was suffering from anxiety, and the sky was getting brighter bit by bit, but the wolves did not give up on me and me. These two hard bones of Gesang are still rushing towards the tree, and they are waiting for our two hard bones to fall quickly.
