Tibetan Mastiff Notes
Chapter 20 Fighting the Wolves
Chapter 20 Fighting the Wolves (10)
I don't believe it, I think Uncle Duoji is talking nonsense, like a fairy tale.I have heard stories about the farmer and the snake since I was a child, and I have always felt that wolves and snakes are inhuman and cruel animals. No matter how nice you are to them, they will not be grateful to you, let alone repay you.
Uncle Duoji saw my doubts, he didn't argue, he turned around and went to the house to find some thin boards and felt cloths, and briefly surrounded the she-wolf's den, surrounding the ventilation openings on three sides, only A small door was left on the leeward side of the door.Surrounding it like this, outsiders will not be able to see that there is a wolf nesting here, and it also blocks the wind and snow for the female wolf.
The female wolf looked very tired, and her stomach was temporarily full, but the wound was still bloody, especially the one under the neck, which looked even more frightening. A large piece of flesh was torn off, almost hurting Throat.I know that female wolves usually stay in their dens, and only male wolves go out to look for food or fight. This female wolf's den may have been copied by wolves from other tribes, and she may want to put all her eggs in one basket. But for the sake of the child in my belly, I made it all the way here.
When this female wolf is most desperate, it may be the first thing that comes to mind is humans.That's right, maybe some human beings will beat it and the child in it to death mercilessly, but if you're lucky, someone will save it and the child in it.Wolves really have a deep understanding of human beings, the so-called "know yourself and the enemy", and this female wolf also encountered good luck.
"Let's go, don't even look at it." Uncle Duoji saw the she wolf trembling, and drove us back to the house to sleep.Gesang looked at it for a while, but felt that there was nothing to see, so he went back to sleep.I refused to leave.
[-]. The she-wolf gave birth, and so did Dahei
I climbed up to the watchtower and looked around for a while, but I didn't find anything unusual, so I climbed down again.I saw Dahei coming out of the house at some point, standing at the door looking at the she-wolf, watching quietly, with half-closed eyes.The female wolf was a little afraid of Dahei and didn't dare to move. She lay there with her neck curled up, raised her eyes to look at Dahei, and then looked at the movement around her.Uncle Dorji came out of the house and saw that I was not asleep, so he asked me to hold the oil lamp for him, and he applied the medicine for the she-wolf by himself.
Uncle Duoji even applied medicine to the she-wolf!I squatted aside and watched him do these things. The she-wolf didn't move. The antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ointment was made by Uncle Duoji, and it was not ordinary pain when rubbed on the wound.
I saw the female wolf trembling in pain, but she knew that Uncle Duoji was kind to her, so she held back and didn't make a sound or show her teeth.After wiping the wounds of the female wolf, Uncle Duoji told me to go back to the house to sleep. The sheep in the pen were a little uneasy when they smelled the wolf. Some timid sheep kept calling in a low voice.
Dahei went to the sheep pen and turned around twice, as if signaling to the sheep: With me here, there will be no problems here.After a while, the sheep stopped bleating, and Dahei went to the wolf's den and sniffed it. She seemed to want to do something, but she didn't. She stood hesitantly for a while, and then walked back into the house.Perhaps Dahei had been hesitating, whether she should let the wolf go, she was also a little worried, and after sleeping for a while, she ran to the door to have a look.The female wolf has been very peaceful, lying motionless in the den.Dahei was still worried, and stood at the door pacing back and forth, until I fell asleep in a daze.
In the morning, we were awakened by Dahei's roar. I found Dahei still standing at the door, walking around anxiously with small steps.Seeing that I was awake, she came over and cupped my hand, beckoning me to go to the yard.
I got dressed, rubbed my sleepy eyes, and walked to the yard.Another layer of snow fell in the middle of the night, and the snow accumulated a little thicker, but this morning the snow stopped, and there was a little sunshine.The light reflected from the snow stung my eyes. I dared not open them. I half-closed my eyes and looked around, only to find that there was no movement around, and everything was quiet. The sheep in the sheepfold were also very peaceful and at ease. I was eating hay, and then I remembered the female wolf. I turned my head to look, and Dahei was standing in front of the female wolf's den.
I found that the female wolf was curled up, and there was some blood under her stomach, which was very fresh, as if it had just flowed out not long ago.
I didn't know what was going on, so I asked Uncle Dorji.Uncle Duoji was coming out with his clothes on. Hearing that there was blood in the wolf den, he hurried over to have a look.He looked at it for a while, then stretched out his hand to feel under the she-wolf's belly, laughed, and said, "The she-wolf has given birth to a pup!"
ah!I was surprised and also felt novelty. I never knew what it was like for a female wolf to give birth to cubs, so I squatted over to watch.Gesang heard me calling him outside, so he also got dressed and ran out to watch the excitement.
The three of us blocked the entrance of the wolf den tightly.Dahei couldn't squeeze in, and couldn't see any movement inside. She was a little restless, walking up and down behind us, and then hugged my ass with her mouth.She also wanted to squeeze in to have a look. She might also have a premonition of what was going on with the female wolf, and was a little worried about the safety of a wounded mother, even though it was a wolf.
Dahei has been arching my ass, maybe she thinks that I am easier to bully or I am more patient with her, and motioned for me to make way for her, so I had to stand up, let Dahei squeeze to the front, and stand with my neck stretched out. Look behind.I couldn't see how the female wolf gave birth to the cubs. The small wooden table was very low, and Dahei's big, fluffy head blocked 80% of the sight. Then came out, one... two... three... yo! Four! Dad, is there any more?"
Uncle Duoji didn't say a word, turned around and went back to the house.I just squatted down and saw the scene inside. There were four small gray and wet balls falling on the haystack, and some of them were covered with a white film-like thing.The little meatball kept struggling, the membrane was torn, and I saw the whole body of the little wolf cub, dripping wet, like a mouse just picked up from a stinky ditch.
Perhaps the female wolf knows that humans don’t like animals like wolves. After giving birth to a wolf pup, she is a little afraid that we will kill her pup, but she dare not be intimate with the pup, and she is even more afraid of causing our anger. The dissatisfaction will be vented to its child, who looks a little timid, and slaps the little wolf cub with his mouth, and scatter the four little guys.
Uncle Dorji brought out two bowls from the house: one bowl was filled with clean water; the other bowl was filled with eggs mixed with minced mutton for the she-wolves to eat after giving birth.I feel really lucky for this female wolf. If it had broken into another herdsman's house last night, it would have been a mummified corpse lying in the snow today.
While eating gratefully, the female wolf looked up at Uncle Dorji.I saw the tip of the female wolf's tail protruding from her body, shaking slightly a few times, just like a dog wagging its tail.I know that wolves don't wag their tails at humans, and I don't believe that the female wolf is showing favor to Uncle Dorji.
Dahei leaned forward, smelled the four little guys, and arched with his mouth, pushing the four poor little ones who couldn't find their mothers into the arms of the she wolf.She knew that the she-wolf was afraid of her, and her actions had already made the she-wolf tremble with fright, so she retracted her mouth, but she refused to go away, standing aside and watching.I saw that Dahei was very interested in the four little guys. She seemed to want to take the four little guys into the house, but because the female wolf was there, she didn't do that. One of the four little guys was bigger than her. more suitable mother.Uncle Duoji sighed and said, "The female wolf was injured and gave birth prematurely. These four cubs are very weak, and I don't know how many days they can live!"
I thought about Gesang and I being surrounded by wolves on a tree in the big forest.Hearing Uncle Duoji say this, I was a little happy in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it in front of Uncle Duoji, so I just oh, expressing regret.
Uncle Dorji may have seen my emotions coming, so he didn’t express anything, and started talking to himself again: “Actually, wolves are animals that live on herbivores on the prairie, but they only hunt Those who are old, weak, sick, and disabled can optimize those herbivores, improve their physiological functions, and let them evolve from generation to generation. In this regard, wolves are a contributor to nature."
I was very shocked that Uncle Duoji could say this. He is just the most simple old herdsman on the prairie. Why did he understand these great principles?
In front of this old herdsman, I feel ashamed.Uncle Dorji is right, but I still don't believe the she-wolf.I'm worried that one day the female wolf will recover from her wounds. Maybe she will sneak into the sheepfold in the middle of the night, kill one or a group of sheep, have a full meal, and then jump out of the sheepfold and escape.Subconsciously, I still hate wolves, since I almost lost my life in the big woods last time.
The whole day, I kept an eye on the female wolf, but the female wolf was very peaceful. Except for dragging the heavily injured back half of her body to go out to defecate, the rest of the time she stayed in her den.The female wolf was seriously injured and gave birth prematurely, with insufficient milk and several dry breasts. The four cubs couldn't get enough to eat, and they clung to the female wolf's teat all day long and refused to let go.The female wolf was also a little anxious, but there was nothing she could do.I have never believed in this female wolf, especially in such a bad weather environment, and passed another night in a state of anxiety.
Early the next morning, Uncle Zhaximu knew that Dahei was about to give birth, so he brought some meat and bones to see Dahei.
During this time, Uncle Tashimu would come here from time to time.Because of the matter of selling mastiffs last time, he himself felt very guilty, and he was not ashamed to talk after he came here. He seemed to know in his heart that even if he talked, no one would talk to him, so every time he came, put it down. Flesh and bones just go.But today, Uncle Zhaximu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he approached Uncle Duoji and took the initiative to talk to Uncle Duoji. Life is tough, there is no mastiff to guard the house in such a big grassland, life is really hard! I have been hearing wolves howling outside for the past few days, is Dahei okay?"
Uncle Duoji was very simple and honest, he put his dislike for Uncle Tashimu to the winds, warmly greeted Uncle Tashimu to come in and sit down, and then asked Gesang to pour butter tea.The buttered tea was steaming hot, and the aroma filled the room.
"Yeah, the wolves have been howling for the past few days. The winter this year is really cold. We herdsmen have a hard time, and those wolves have a hard time. I have been worried! I don't know how many cattle and sheep will be kept this year. Not to mention the wolves, just the weather... oh!" Uncle Duoji sighed.
"Yes, yes!" Uncle Zhaximu said hastily, and walked to the edge of the carpet to look at Dahei.
Dahei didn't pay much attention to Uncle Zhaximu, and when he saw Zhaximu leaning over to look at her, he stood up, turned around, and walked into the yard.
Uncle Zhaximu sighed twice in admiration, and said: "Dahei is really a good mastiff. Look at this big belly, can he give birth to five or six pups in one litter? That's great, that's great...ah, what's in that corner? A wolf? ...Ah, it's really a wolf, and it's giving birth to cubs!"
Uncle Zhaximu's words were a bit inconsistent, we all saw that he came this time to ask for a little mastiff to raise, after all, Dahei is a purebred mastiff, and the breed of Mao Mao is not bad, Come and ask for one while you're not born, or you might not be able to get him when you're born.
We glanced at each other but didn't answer, so Uncle Tashimu simply walked into the yard and stood in front of the wolf's den, muttering something, and came back after a while with his face on his face. Smiling embarrassingly, he said, "Duoji is kind. If it were someone else, the she-wolf would have died long ago. Not to mention lighting up a sky lantern, she would have been beaten to death."
We still didn't talk to each other, and Uncle Duoji nodded foolishly, but I ignored it and saw what else he wanted to say.Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Uncle Zhaximu couldn't get over his face, and felt even more uncomfortable. He wanted to leave, but he was unwilling. After thinking about it for a while, he said cheekily, "Duoji, I have something to discuss with you. You see, our family is also in a difficult situation right now, I... I want to ask you to raise a little one when Dahei is born, okay?"
"Is this a big deal?" Uncle Duoji laughed honestly and said, "The herdsmen on the prairie can survive, what do they rely on? The sky? The earth? Neither, it depends on us The mutual help of the herdsmen! Since we were all born here and grew up here, we are all one family. When Dahei is born, I will leave one for you."
"Good! Good!" Uncle Zhaximu was so excited that he couldn't express his joy. He tightly grasped Uncle Duoji's hand and shook it desperately. Tell his wife the good news.
The mother wolf's milk hadn't come down yet, and the four little wolf cubs were howling with hunger, and spent the whole day digging around under the mother wolf's belly to find food. They really looked pitiful.But some ewes in this batch are pregnant with cubs, and they won't give birth until almost the end of winter, and now there is even less milk, and the cubs don't even have goat milk.
Uncle Duoji had no choice but to break two of the remaining eggs, stir them well and feed them to the little wolf cubs.The four little guys still refused to accept the smelly food, so they overturned the egg bowl, and all the eggs flowed into the snow.Gesang was a little angry. Eggs are very rare here, because no one raises chickens and ducks. If you want to eat eggs, you have to go to a big city to buy them, or someone brings them over. That's for Dahei.
Tonight, Dahei was very disturbed. She didn't eat a bite of food, but drank some water and walked back and forth in the house. I asked Uncle Duoji anxiously, "Is Dahei about to give birth?"
Uncle Duoji didn't say a word, his brows were tightly frowned. I could see the nervousness and worry on his face, because Dahei didn't give birth last year and had a difficult delivery. When he gave birth to two little mastiffs, the little ones were already in My stomach is suffocated, and I don't know what it will be like this year.Even Gesang was too nervous to speak, resting his cheeks on both hands, staring at Dahei in a daze.My mood became more tense, and I felt like sweating on my forehead, in such a cold snowy day.
Dahei's restless mood lasted until midnight, we couldn't sleep, we sat there with big eyes and small eyes, the room was so quiet that we could hear our own heartbeat, and Dahei's slightly heavy breathing.
I really couldn't bear this tense and anxious atmosphere, so I ran to the yard more than once to breathe the cold air to clear my mind.I found that the female wolf in the yard was also a little disturbed, raising her head and looking nervously into the house.
I'm very surprised, wolf and mastiff are two opposite animals, I don't believe they will be connected, I stared at the female wolf in the yard.The female wolf knew that I was staring at it, and it didn't care about me at all, it just looked at Dahei in the room uneasily.Suddenly, I heard Gesang yelling excitedly. He yelled, "Abba, Dahei was born, she was born! Brother, come and see!"
My heart suddenly went up to my throat, excited and nervous, I turned around and ran into the house.When I rushed into the house, I saw a little mastiff in Dahei's arms, pulling and eating.
This is a black mastiff with four yellow paws, much like Mao Mao.Uncle Duoji gently picked it up and showed us that it was a little male mastiff. The little guy closed his eyes tightly and turned his head from left to right in a foolish way. He looked silly and funny.When I was admiring this little mastiff, Dahei successfully gave birth to two pure black little mastiffs, first male and then female. I was so happy that my heart was as sweet as eating honey, and I almost wanted to dance.The team of mastiffs has finally expanded. By next year, the mastiffs on the prairie will be able to form a class.
Dahei took a deep breath, her stomach was bulging, it seemed that giving birth to a puppy was a very painful and laborious thing, she gasped for a while, and motioned to us for a drink.I hurriedly brought water to her and brought it to her mouth to feed her.Dahei drank a few sips of water and began to pant again. It seemed that there was still a mastiff in his stomach, and this little mastiff was very difficult to give birth to. It is estimated that this little mastiff was also the most noisy one when he was in Dahei's belly.Seeing my eyes widen nervously and the veins on my forehead popping out, Uncle Duoji told me something about the little mastiff to relax my mood.He told me that since ancient times, herdsmen have been living a nomadic life, so mastiffs must also be able to withstand extremely harsh weather conditions, and must also have the ability to survive hunger, fatigue, and plague, so as to survive.Therefore, on the basis of mastiffs' own selection of offspring, herders made artificial selections, and selected individuals who were big, strong, fierce and loyal, and good at herding animals in the mastiff group.As the saying goes, that is to keep the strong but not the weak, keep the big but not the young, keep the males but not the females, control the male to female ratio of mastiffs at about one to twenty, and most of the rest are discarded.In the very old days, there was a saying that "nine dogs make one mastiff". This is the earliest artificial breeding of mastiff, and it is precisely because of this that the pure blood of Tibetan mastiff is maintained.
I was very surprised by Uncle Dorji’s statement. If it weren’t for the strict selection of mastiffs since ancient times, there might be more mastiffs on the prairie now, but it may also be because of the large number of mastiffs. The pure and complete bloodline cannot be guaranteed. If the bloodlines of mastiffs are mixed, then mastiffs can still maintain their ancestors’ strong character, strength and bravery, wild nature, strong disease resistance, territorial protection, good attack and life sacrificing. Saviour's nature?

"Is this a big deal?" Uncle Duoji laughed honestly and said, "The herdsmen on the prairie can survive, what do they rely on? The sky? The earth? Neither, it depends on us The mutual help of the herdsmen! Since we were all born here and grew up here, we are all one family. When Dahei is born, I will leave one for you."
"Good! Good!" Uncle Zhaximu was so excited that he couldn't express his joy. He tightly grasped Uncle Duoji's hand and shook it desperately. Tell his wife the good news.
The mother wolf's milk hadn't come down yet, and the four little wolf cubs were howling with hunger, and spent the whole day digging around under the mother wolf's belly to find food. They really looked pitiful.But some ewes in this batch are pregnant with cubs, and they won't give birth until almost the end of winter, and now there is even less milk, and the cubs don't even have goat milk.
Uncle Duoji had no choice but to break two of the remaining eggs, stir them well and feed them to the little wolf cubs.The four little guys still refused to accept the smelly food, so they overturned the egg bowl, and all the eggs flowed into the snow.Gesang was a little angry. Eggs are very rare here, because no one raises chickens and ducks. If you want to eat eggs, you have to go to a big city to buy them, or someone brings them over. That's for Dahei.
Tonight, Dahei was very disturbed. She didn't eat a bite of food, but drank some water and walked back and forth in the house. I asked Uncle Duoji anxiously, "Is Dahei about to give birth?"
Uncle Duoji didn't say a word, his brows were tightly frowned. I could see the nervousness and worry on his face, because Dahei didn't give birth last year and had a difficult delivery. When he gave birth to two little mastiffs, the little ones were already in My stomach is suffocated, and I don't know what it will be like this year.Even Gesang was too nervous to speak, resting his cheeks on both hands, staring at Dahei in a daze.My mood became more tense, and I felt like sweating on my forehead, in such a cold snowy day.
Dahei's restless mood lasted until midnight, we couldn't sleep, we sat there with big eyes and small eyes, the room was so quiet that we could hear our own heartbeat, and Dahei's slightly heavy breathing.
I really couldn't bear this tense and anxious atmosphere, so I ran to the yard more than once to breathe the cold air to clear my mind.I found that the female wolf in the yard was also a little disturbed, raising her head and looking nervously into the house.
I'm very surprised, wolf and mastiff are two opposite animals, I don't believe they will be connected, I stared at the female wolf in the yard.The female wolf knew that I was staring at it, and it didn't care about me at all, it just looked at Dahei in the room uneasily.Suddenly, I heard Gesang yelling excitedly. He yelled, "Abba, Dahei was born, she was born! Brother, come and see!"
My heart suddenly went up to my throat, excited and nervous, I turned around and ran into the house.When I rushed into the house, I saw a little mastiff in Dahei's arms, pulling and eating.
This is a black mastiff with four yellow paws, much like Mao Mao.Uncle Duoji gently picked it up and showed us that it was a little male mastiff. The little guy closed his eyes tightly and turned his head from left to right in a foolish way. He looked silly and funny.When I was admiring this little mastiff, Dahei successfully gave birth to two pure black little mastiffs, first male and then female. I was so happy that my heart was as sweet as eating honey, and I almost wanted to dance.The team of mastiffs has finally expanded. By next year, the mastiffs on the prairie will be able to form a class.
Dahei took a deep breath, her stomach was bulging, it seemed that giving birth to a puppy was a very painful and laborious thing, she gasped for a while, and motioned to us for a drink.I hurriedly brought water to her and brought it to her mouth to feed her.Dahei drank a few sips of water and began to pant again. It seemed that there was still a mastiff in his stomach, and this little mastiff was very difficult to give birth to. It is estimated that this little mastiff was also the most noisy one when he was in Dahei's belly.Seeing my eyes widen nervously and the veins on my forehead popping out, Uncle Duoji told me something about the little mastiff to relax my mood.He told me that since ancient times, herdsmen have been living a nomadic life, so mastiffs must also be able to withstand extremely harsh weather conditions, and must also have the ability to survive hunger, fatigue, and plague, so as to survive.Therefore, on the basis of mastiffs' own selection of offspring, herders made artificial selections, and selected individuals who were big, strong, fierce and loyal, and good at herding animals in the mastiff group.As the saying goes, that is to keep the strong but not the weak, keep the big but not the young, keep the males but not the females, control the male to female ratio of mastiffs at about one to twenty, and most of the rest are discarded.In the very old days, there was a saying that "nine dogs make one mastiff". This is the earliest artificial breeding of mastiff, and it is precisely because of this that the pure blood of Tibetan mastiff is maintained.
I was very surprised by Uncle Dorji’s statement. If it weren’t for the strict selection of mastiffs since ancient times, there might be more mastiffs on the prairie now, but it may also be because of the large number of mastiffs. The pure and complete bloodline cannot be guaranteed. If the bloodlines of mastiffs are mixed, then mastiffs can still maintain their ancestors’ strong character, strength and bravery, wild nature, strong disease resistance, territorial protection, good attack and life sacrificing. Saviour's nature?
