Tibetan Mastiff Notes

Chapter 16 Fighting the Wolves (6)
Suddenly, Gesang exclaimed in surprise: "Brother, I heard Dahei's cry, and there is another mastiff!"

I had been paying attention to the wolves under the tree and didn't notice any other voices. At this moment, Gesang's reminder cheered me up a lot.I listened carefully, and in the distance, Dahei’s majestic and long-lasting roar seemed to be vaguely heard in the air. The fierce and thick cry made people excited. I didn’t expect that Dahei was about to become a mother, but he was still so powerful. The momentum has not diminished at all.If I still have a gun in my hand at this time, I will shoot to warn the sky and tell Dahei and Uncle Duoji where we are, but there is no way now, I can only rely on Dahei's sensitive sense of smell, whether to find it or not Getting here, may still be unknown.

My mood is gloomy again, but I believe in Dahei, she will definitely find this place, it is only a matter of time.I remembered that the people on the grasslands are used to singing on the vast hillsides, and their voices are very loud, and compared with my thick voice, it is a bit longer.I asked Gesang, "Can you sing?" Gesang nodded, and said, "Of course, when I have nothing to do when herding sheep, I often shout at my throat, to the sky, to the sheep, to the big black horn, My voice was trained with Dahei." I said with a smile: "Then, you sing a song, Dahei will come to us if he hears it."

Gesang immediately understood what I meant, and sang loudly. He sang with a straight voice, with a little dry horn, but his voice was sharp and sharp, and could be heard far away.Taking advantage of Gesang's interest, I also roared together. The wolves under the tree were startled by the sudden scream, and they all retreated a few steps. After figuring out the situation, they quickly surrounded again come up.

When Dahei heard our voice, she might have been running towards us quickly while roaring loudly. The strong voice shook the wolves to turn their heads, listen, and stare.Two mastiffs came, besides Dahei, there was also a male mastiff from another family, who also looked very ferocious, like a lion.

The pack of wolves wavered a bit and was about to retreat. However, the leading wolf was more cunning. It was still planning to stay and see the situation first. After all, it still had twenty brothers under its command, and only two mastiffs came.Dahei was very angry, she might have been worrying all day why we didn't go back earlier, now seeing this pack of wolves, she vented her pent-up anger.

The first wolf was hesitating whether to retreat, but Dahei did not give the first wolf any more time to hesitate. She rushed into the woods from a distance, and before the first wolf could make any suggestion, she roared loudly, carrying a gust of wind, He rushed towards the wolf head.Dahei looked very ferocious at this moment, she ran as if flying in mid-air, her black hair fluttered all over her body, she opened her mouth full of sharp teeth, her roar shook the woods unceasingly.

The alpha wolf knew that he was in trouble. The opponent in front of him was not an ordinary guy. He was big and strong, and his aura was also extremely fierce. His sharp teeth could pierce his own bones at once, and he roared like a lion. Frightened the whole pack of wolves.But this is a big pack of wolves. As far as the current situation is concerned, there are still [-] fresh troops remaining. Compared with the two mastiffs, the number has a great advantage, and one of the mastiffs is still pregnant. Liujia's big belly woman.It seems that after finding out the strength, the cunning wolf is ready to test it. When the big black rushed towards it, the wolf raised its head and howled, and all the wolves suddenly jumped up together as if they had received an order , Pounced on Dahei.They wanted to pick the pregnant woman first, and all the wolves stretched out their sharp claws, opened their big sharp mouths, and scratched and bit the big black.

For the resistance of the wolves, Dahei's anger was extremely intense, and her pair of small eyes revealed a wild and fierce light.It wrinkled its nose, erected its sharp teeth, and its whole body was like a fish jumping out of the water, flopping, flipping, and jumping in mid-air. Wherever its four strong and powerful claws went, the wolf was immediately swept away.

There were so many wolves, Dahei was a little busy dealing with it, another mastiff rushed over and joined the fight against the wolves.Mastiffs and wolves are natural rivals on the prairie. Once they meet, they will fight to the death.The two mastiffs fought side by side in the pack of wolves. If the wolf is fierce, the mastiff will be more fierce than the wolf. I saw a cruel battlefield below, and the forest before dawn shivered in the faint light of dawn.

The battle came too fast, the wolf chief simply divided the tasks tactically, the big black one looked more ferocious than the other mastiff, the wolf decided to use four male wolves to distract the other mastiff, and concentrated its forces on the other mastiff. Dahei's body.Under the siege of sixteen strong wolves, Dahei seemed a little alone.

Four strong male wolves blocked Dahei's front, and opened their bloody mouths to rush and bite Dahei.The head, neck and chest are the places most in need of protection for any animal. This provocative attack immediately attracted Dahei's main attention, and the wolves on both sides took the opportunity to surround and attack together.Dahei jumped forward and backward among the wolves, and the ferocious wolf couldn't find a place to bite for a while.

Dahei bit the back of a wolf's head, and the wolf jumped forward vigorously. Dahei pulled hard, tearing off the wolf's scalp.The two wolves on the back bit Dahei's back and tail respectively. Dahei roared crazily. A pinch of hair was also ripped off.Seeing her back hair flying in the air, Dahei was very angry. She ran rampant among the wolves like crazy, no matter what she saw, she would bite with her mouth. In my opinion, that momentum is more powerful than that of a lion , I was so nervous that I hugged the trunk tightly.

The wolves are also very scared, fighting with two mastiffs, they can't take advantage of it, at least for now, and it won't do them any good if they drag it on.When the sky was bright, the first wolf decided to retreat when he saw that his brother was injured and failed to get a bargain.But Dahei's fighting spirit had already been aroused to a high level. When the wolves were retreating, she jumped forward and bit the tail of the leading wolf. Dahei, but dare not.

Dahei's upper and lower sharp teeth closed with a click, and the wolf howled loudly, and a large part of its tail was bitten off by Dahei.Dahei was furious that the wolves dared to attack her. After biting off half of the tail of the first wolf, he chewed a few mouthfuls as if venting his anger, and then swallowed it.

The wolf leader probably felt that the hunting operation had failed so badly that he ran into two mastiffs. His own tail was also bitten off, and blood dripped down.With a howl, it turned around and rushed into the woods. The pack of wolves retreated after the leader wolf.They ran fast when they were preying, and even faster when they were running for their lives. The wolves in front ran away like a gust of wind, and a few strong wolves were responsible for breaking the rear.Dahei still didn't vent his anger, the two mastiffs continued chasing and biting the pack of wolves.

The broken wolf behind was desperate to escape under the fierce pursuit and bite of the two mastiffs. It ran like a lost dog, and was chased and bitten by the big black all the way.The wolves had no choice but to resort to splitting tactics and immediately dispersed into several small teams, running wildly in different directions.

The two mastiffs froze for a moment, and were about to continue chasing, but the alpha wolf led its team and disappeared long ago.Uncle Dorji and the owner of the other mastiff had already rushed over. At first, they were not as fast as the two mastiffs. When the two mastiffs rushed into the forest, they were still running halfway.

I knew the principle of not being chased by the poor, so I squatted on the branch of the tree and called Dahei before I had time to jump down. Uncle Duoji also called for Dahei to come back.Under the constant calling of the owner, the two mastiffs finally came back reluctantly.

I hurriedly jumped down from the tree and hugged Dahei.Dahei has not yet relaxed from the battle, her teeth are still bared, and she is breathing wildly from her nostrils. Her muscles are still tense, and she still maintains a posture of fighting at any time.I squeezed Dahei's four legs to relax her muscles.Dahei ignored me, she was still looking left and right, observing all the movements in the woods.

Uncle Dorji was very worried about us and asked how we had come so far, and blamed Gesang for being disobedient, which almost caused a big incident.Gesang was wronged, and he didn't dare to defend himself. He picked up the pair of trousers on the ground and saw that the trousers had been torn to pieces by the wolves.

It may be because the wolves besieged us all night, and Dahei was very worried about our safety. At this time, Dahei had a lot of opinions on the five wolves who died on the ground, and she needed to vent.Dahei broke free from my hand, walked to the side of the five dead wolves, and kept roaring at the corpses of the wolves. After roaring for a while, he ran frantically in the woods for several times before stopping. Come up to me and stand, panting.

I am very worried about Dahei's body. Her belly is already big, and she may give birth to cubs in a while. Now, she has to drag a big belly to fight with wolves. I am very afraid that this will affect her belly The little mastiff has no bad influence.Seeing Dahei's bulging belly, she was still panting heavily. I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart, but it was a feeling that my nose and eye sockets were sour from being touched.If something happens to the little mastiff in the big black belly this time, I will really regret it!
Dahei was pregnant once last year, but she didn't give birth.If something goes wrong this time, I will feel sorry for Dahei, the cub in her stomach, and Uncle Duoji for the rest of my life.I put my arms around Dahei's neck and gently stroked her belly.Being willing to let others stroke their belly is a sign of the mastiff's extreme trust in others. The general mastiff will not let others stroke its belly or neck easily.

Dahei's unreserved trust in me moved me so much that I was speechless.I still remember Dahei's expression of contempt and yelling at me when I first came to Dorji's house.But she trusts me so much now, but I have to go so far to cause her another trouble when she is pregnant.

Gesang threw away the rotten trousers in his hand, pulled the sharp knife from my trouser leg, walked up to the dead wolf, and was about to strike. Uncle Dorji asked, "What are you going to do?" Peel off the wolf skin, go back and hang it on the top of the tent, let those wolves have a look, see if they dare to come again in the future!"

Uncle Dorji stopped Gesang from doing this. He sighed and said, "Fortunately no one was killed. If people don't invade the wolf's territory, the wolf will not attack people. You still want to skin the wolf? Did you know that wolves are spiritual animals, wolves understand human speech and hold grudges, if you peel their skins, they will stare at you and follow you every day until you die!"

Gesang was frightened by his father's words, and withdrew the knife in his hand, but he didn't let go of his hatred, so he kicked the dead wolf vigorously a few times, and then ran out to find his beloved soil shotgun.After searching for a while but failing to find him, Gesang called his father over there, and we all followed.Dahei has a sharp nose, she didn't even smell it carefully, so she walked under a big tree.Dahei digged with his paws for a while, and we saw the barrel of the gun protruding from the pile of leaves. It turned out that the wolf was very shrewd. He was afraid that we would use this gun to deal with him, so he took the gun away and found a place. Hidden, even know how to bury it with leaves, so that no one will notice.

The shrewdness of the wolf made me believe in Uncle Duoji’s words even more. I felt a little goosebumps all over my body. I remember Uncle Duoji said that wolves will hold grudges, and I killed four wolves with my own hands. Remember for a lifetime?Maybe they will follow me all the way, chasing me until they die of old age or I die of old age.

Sixteen, the beasts of the prairie

Uncle Dorji found some branches and stones, piled up the corpses of several wolves, surrounded them with stones, and put some branches on them, like a grave.When Uncle Dorji was doing these things, another herdsman also came to help.Uncle Dorji said: "Wolves are psychic. You have no choice but to kill them. They know in their hearts that they violated human beings first. You build a grave for them. When the wolves come to look for the corpses of their companions, they will see this. Tomb, knowing the guilt in your heart, I won't come to seek revenge on you again."

If you say how cruel the wolf is, how shrewd, how evil it is, I can still believe it, but if you say that the wolf will become kind to you because of a few stones or branches you put up, I don't believe anything.Regarding Uncle Dorji’s words, I can only understand it as: it’s not that wolves have become kind, it’s just Uncle Dorji’s benevolence, he evenly distributes kindness and benevolence to every species and life on the prairie, he Like a holy lamp on the prairie, it illuminates the entire prairie day and night.

It was already dawn, Gesang found his gun, and Uncle Dorji finished building the wolf tomb, and we walked all the way back.After a fight, Dahei looked a little tired, and she panted while walking, looking a little painful.I said: "Take a break, Dahei is very tired, she is panting."

Another herdsman said he had something to do at home, so he took his mastiff and left first, and the three of us sat on the prairie with Dahei to rest.Dahei got down on her stomach, resting her head on her front paws. She closed her eyes, looking very sleepy.I know that mastiffs never bow their heads. They always hold their heads high and live aloofly. Now, Dahei's appearance is even more worrying to me.I can't excuse my sins, it's all because of me, Dahei, who is like this, I'm really worried about the little mastiffs in Dahei's belly, I'm worried that they haven't fully developed yet, and they will die like this.A mastiff can only conceive a cub once a year, and the mastiff has very high requirements for a partner.In front of the lonely female mastiff, only the more arrogant male mastiff is worthy, and once the male mastiff and the female mastiff are married, it is difficult for them to find another partner. Even if the male mastiff dies, some female mastiffs Mastiff would rather stay widowed for life.

Mastiffs also have high requirements for the living environment. They are only suitable for survival in plateau areas, and some people are forced to raise mastiffs in an environment that is not suitable for the survival of mastiffs just for their own preferences or the pursuit of ferocious wildness. , that is just a persecution of the mastiff.Those mastiff dealers who keep crossbreeding mastiffs and selling them at a low price in order to make money are even more contemptible.Why there are fewer and fewer purebred mastiffs in the world and more and more expensive, I think: the responsibility lies on human beings.How difficult it is to keep a purebred mastiff!But me, at this moment... I lowered my head in pain, stroking the big black hair, with regret written all over my face.The hair on Dahei's back was bitten off during the fight with the wolf, but luckily no flesh was injured.I touched her back, where there was still a scar, which was also caused by me.Seeing Dahei's tired and painful expression, my heart ached, I didn't know what to say, rubbed the corners of my eyes, and sniffed my nose violently, I felt like crying, tears of regret.

Uncle Duoji patted my shoulder and comforted me: "Forget it, Xiao Bing, don't be sad, Dahei will survive, although last year..." Uncle Duoji's throat also choked up, and he couldn't continue.

From getting along with Uncle Duoji during these days, I found that Uncle loves Dahei more than he loves Gesang. Dahei is like Uncle Duoji's old girl's baby bump, being pampered and drowned every day with...

Gesang didn't dare to speak, and lowered his head to fiddle with his Tibetan robe, with his bare legs exposed.Uncle Duoji was both angry and distressed and said: "Look at you, luckily your leg was not bitten by a wolf, and you should have a better memory in the future."

Suddenly, I heard a gurgling sound in Dahei's stomach, as if something was wriggling inside, I hurriedly reached out to touch it, the inside was so fleshy, it seemed that I could touch a few small meat balls.Gesang hurriedly asked, "Have you touched it? How many are there?" I touched it and said, "There seem to be four or five!"

Uncle Duoji touched it for a while, nodded, and said, "Five? It's not easy! They are born naturally, and some mastiffs can only give birth to one or two per litter!"

Dahei suddenly looked up at us and licked his mouth, as if he wanted to drink water.Gesang hurried out to find water to drink. He must also feel very sorry for what Dahei had suffered this time.

The mastiff could bear the hunger, but the water could not be cut off. I saw Gesang running out to find water, so I picked up the earthen shotgun and walked up the slope. Uncle Dorji asked me what I was doing?I said: "Hit a rabbit for Dahei to eat." I guessed: Dahei ran away looking for us all night, and fought with the wolves for a long time, plus the little mastiff in her stomach was making noise, she must be hungry and thirsty I'm tired again, so I need to supplement nutrition immediately.

After waiting for a while, I saw a wild rabbit jumping over the grass. I took the gun and pulled the trigger without even aiming.This is not showing off, it is the feeling from touching the gun for a long time. I know very well how much damage it will cause to the prey when the gun is held in my arms and the muzzle is raised or lowered a little.I knew that the shot had hit the rabbit's throat. I ran over and saw that the hole was just behind the rabbit's neck.I knew that the gunshots had alarmed the small animals on the prairie, and if I continued to guard, the rabbit would not come out again, so I carried the dead rabbit and walked down the hillside.

Gesang couldn't find anything to hold the water, so he was barefoot, filled two boots with water in his boots, and brought them back carefully.I cut off the rabbit's head with a sharp knife, peeled the skin, cut the rabbit meat into small pieces, and fed it to Dahei bit by bit.Dahei refused to eat at first, she just kept panting, but when she saw Gesang came back, she drank a boot of water, and then started to eat meat.Uncle Duoji finally laughed, and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay. It's fine if she is willing to eat and drink. Let's go back after a little rest." Uncle Duoji laughed and prayed to the sky Kneeling, his face was full of gratitude and reverence to God.
