Tibetan Mastiff Notes

Chapter 37
31. It’s Dahei, it’s really Dahei
This kind of wolf's gaze is scary, and cowardly people would never dare to look at it, so I just ignore it. Anyway, tonight it will either die or I will die. I saw other wolves still refused to leave, so ruthless Cruelly, he gritted his teeth and pointed the lighter at the mat tied to the wolf's stomach.

The wolf stared at me stubbornly, and I could see the panic in its eyes, maybe it also knew that I was going to burn it again, instead of begging at all, it bared its teeth at me even more fiercely.A wolf is a kind of intelligent animal that is not willing to give in. Judging from the demeanor of getting more frustrated and courageous in this regard, it is somewhat like a human being.Looking at this wolf who is not afraid of death, I decided to let it go. If the other wolves are willing to leave in 10 minutes, then I will let this wolf go when the sun rises. If the other wolves still refuse to leave, Then I can only be more ruthless.

I put back the lighter and looked at the wolf, and the wolf stared at me fiercely, and I said, "brother wolf, we have no grievances, and if you don't eat me, I won't kill you. If your companions leave here within 10 minutes, I will not burn you again. I will let you go at dawn. If your companions refuse to leave, then there is nothing I can do. If you want to live, we must live, right? ?”

Liu Zhi stared at me in surprise. He didn't believe that wolves could really understand people's words. He stared at me for a while and asked, "How do you talk to a wolf? It knows nothing!"

I kept my promise for 10 minutes without saying a word. Although the wolf was burned in pain, it suddenly stopped howling after I finished speaking.Liu Zhi was very surprised, stared at the wolf in amazement, then looked at me, and said nothing.

Time passed by, and the wolves still refused to leave. They might have been hungry for a long time.Indeed, the heavy snowstorm during this period not only affected people, but also wolves. I saw that the eyes of those wolves were particularly green. People often say that their eyes turn green when they are hungry, which probably comes from wolves. Bar?

Ten minutes passed quickly, and when I stood up, the wolf probably knew that its time was approaching, so it howled hoarsely again. I said, "No way, brother wolf, let's go all the way!" With a lighter.

The layer of cushions tied around the wolf's stomach was the thickest and the most, and the blazing flames burst up all at once.I think this is the most inhumane thing I have ever done. Although it is a wolf, I think it makes people feel more cruel. If not for many reasons, I would rather have sex with this wolf. It's a real contest, a real confrontation, not this kind of cruelty where one side forces the other.

The reality is so cruel, no one can escape the mercy of reality, and the party that fails must pay a heavy price.I was hard-hearted, watching the wolf's skin creaking from the fire, as if it was emitting oil, and then I heard the sound of scorched water bubbles bursting, and I couldn't stand it any longer.

The wolves wanted to retreat a little bit, but there was still a last bit of hesitation. They turned around in circles, looked at their companions who were about to be burned alive, and howled miserably.Suddenly, there was some movement in the cabin. Yang Zhonghua may have regained consciousness after being unconscious for a period of time. He seemed to stand up, and then he was tripped by debris in the cabin again, making a thumping sound.I looked into the engine room by the light of the fire, but I couldn't see the innermost part clearly, it was dark.Liu Zhi shouted into the cabin; "Zhonghua! Zhonghua!"

We were all a little worried, worried that some other wolf would find a crack and sneak up on the people in the cabin while we were burning the wolf in the nose.Soon, our worries disappeared, and I saw Yang Zhonghua staggering over. He was fully awake, got out of the plane window, looked around, and said in surprise: "So many wolves!"

The watching wolves saw our accomplice coming out of the cabin suddenly, so they were convinced that there might be more people lurking in the cabin. They calculated the strength of the two sides and felt that if they really wanted to start a war, it was very likely that they would not be able to win. When it was cheap, and the burned wolf howled miserably, the wolves finally retreated across the board.

Seeing the wolf disappear into the vast snowy night in an instant, we finally let out a sigh of relief, but the wolf we caught had already died in the fire, and its skin and flesh were already scorched.Yang Zhonghua hadn't figured out the situation yet, maybe his brain was shaken a lot when he was thrown out of the cabin by the Mi-17, and now he just woke up, and he hasn't recalled the situation at that time, so he was a little dazed.

Liu Zhi said: "There was an accident when the Mi-17 made an emergency landing. You were thrown out of the cabin, and you were in a coma until just now. You don't know that we were surrounded by wolves. Fortunately, Xiao Bing thought The idea is to catch a wolf, otherwise we would have been eaten by those wolves long ago."

Yang Zhonghua was still not sober. He asked Liu Zhi how he caught the wolf. Liu Zhi was a little excited now. The wolves had receded, and his comrades were also sober. Tell Yang Zhonghua carefully.

While saying these words, everyone temporarily forgot the cold outside the cabin, the fire was still burning, and the outermost layer of the wolf's flesh had been scorched. Although it exuded an unpleasant smell of engine oil, Even though we are so hungry, it smells delicious.Everyone has been hungry all day and needs some food to satisfy their hunger. Liu Zhi first suggested: "I haven't eaten wolf meat yet! It happens to be very hungry. Let's replenish our strength and set off at dawn to find a way to go back. Return early to avoid Everyone is worried about us."

After a night of confrontation with wolves, the night was no longer so dark, and the glimmer of light reflected on the snow was a little brighter.I jumped out of the helicopter and found a few shards of glass from the snow.Liu Zhi threw the dead wolf down, and jumped into the snow with Yang Zhonghua.We squatted on the icy snow, and by the light of the snow, we used broken glass to cut up wolf meat and eat it.

The wolf is a kind of sporty beast, the meat is thick and rough, but everyone is very hungry, and no one can take care of that much. Even though the smell of engine oil is pungent, we still cut off a few large pieces of meat and pinched them. Swallowed down.

My cowhide belt was scorched. It was a memento I brought back when I left the army. It is a pity that I have burned it to pieces. I took it back and put it around my waist for a try, and it was barely usable. You don't have to run around with your pants on.I fastened my belt, let Liu Zhi and Yang Zhonghua go back to rest in the cabin, and stood outside the cabin to keep watch.As soon as the sky was bright, we set off to find the small village where Uncle Xianba lived. After replenishing energy, we found our way back.

It may be the first time that Liu Zhi confronted wolves at such a close range. After a night of fear, he felt very tired, while Yang Zhonghua seemed a little not sober, so he just found a place to lie down and rest in the cabin near the exit. Let me call them whenever I need something.

The snowy night was cold, and the pair of hiking boots that Dajie sent couldn’t resist the invasion of the cold. I walked back and forth in the snow for a while, and felt that my feet were numb, and the toes seemed to have disappeared.I was afraid that my feet would be damaged by the cold, so I climbed onto the nose and sat down.

Surrounded by a lonely white, still immersed in the darkness before dawn, friends who have never seen the wilderness can imagine the endless emptiness in their minds, which makes people feel a little sad.I looked at the vast and desolate land in front of me. I, who had never smoked, suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette. Maybe smoking could release all the loneliness and loneliness in my heart.

I called Liu Zhi to throw a cigarette over.Liu Zhi took out half a pack of cigarettes and threw it out.I caught it, took a cigarette and put it in my mouth, and pulled the lighter, trying to light the fire, but a gust of wind blew over and extinguished the flames.I looked at the burned wolf on the snow in a daze. We not only burned it to death, but also ate a large piece of meat. Is this the cruelty of wolves to humans, or the ruthlessness of humans to wolves?Survival is far more difficult than simply eating. Thinking about the dogs living in the greenhouse to please their masters, and thinking about the wolves in front of us who are fighting for a bite of food, this is the evolution of dogs from wolves. Is the real reason why the brain size is getting smaller and smaller, the wolf is getting more and more cunning, and the dog is getting more and more stupid?Self-evolution, remind yourself of the most serious survival crisis in front of you at all times, monitor all living environments around you, detect crises, predict crises, overcome crises, survive crises, and constantly improve your means and capabilities of survival.It is better to be a wolf against the wind in a snowy night than to be a dog begging for leftovers. This is the truth of human evolution and survival of the fittest for millions of years!The strong survive and the weak perish. This is true for animals, human beings, and all species on the entire earth!

I put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, jumped off the nose, and walked into the snow again. There were no trees or rivers around, and it was impossible to distinguish the direction by the annual rings of the trees and the direction of the river.There were no stars or moon in the sky, and I couldn't see anything. I bent down and started to dig the snow on the ground. With a wolf rib, he smashed hard at the snow shell below, and finally made a hole, and then knocked away the nearby snow blocks, revealing the moist soil under the snow.I took off my gloves, and reached under the snow to feel a couple of them. There was still grass growing under the snow. I felt the growth of the grass and the direction when it fell. After feeling it, I even found a small hole of a prairie mouse. .

This is an abandoned prairie mouse hole. The group of mice may have been eaten by wolves a long time ago, or they may have moved home early in the morning, so this abandoned hole was left behind. I was so excited that I used wolf bones to knock the snow again. Open some, and then dig the mouse hole, observe the height of the mouse hole.

There is a lot of wind and sand on the prairie, summer is the time when prairie rodents reproduce most vigorously, and at the same time it is the time when the rainy season has the most precipitation. When prairie rats dig holes to build their homes, they will first consider these unfavorable factors.Therefore, the nests of prairie rats are generally high on the inside and low on the outside, and they are dug along the slope of the terrain from northwest to southeast, so that in the season of abundant precipitation, rainwater will not flow into their nests.

I figured out the height and direction of the rat hole, and then got up to observe the surrounding terrain. When the Mi-17 made an emergency landing, it was blown over by a strong wind. The direction of inclination is the direction that the strong wind blows at that time.Based on the direction calculated by the wind and the east-west direction calculated from the mouse hole, I basically determined where we are now. It turns out that we did go the wrong way yesterday afternoon, almost a hundred degrees off. , no wonder the more I walked, the more I felt something was wrong. The mountain that appeared in my sight interfered with my judgment.

I finally figured out the direction, and I was very excited. I stood up and stomped my numb feet. Seeing that the surrounding sky was slightly brighter, I called Liu Zhi and Yang Zhonghua to get up. Staying for 1 minute is more life-threatening. I would rather be shivering in the cold on the way to the road than spend time in the cabin.I was worried that there would be some unexpected situation on the road, and I would be hungry, so I cut off a few pieces of half-baked wolf meat and put them in my arms.

Something happened to Liu Zhi, he wanted to pee, he turned his back to the wind for half of it, and was forced to hold back, saying: "No, it's too cold."

I smiled and told him: "Peeping will lose a lot of body heat. If you don't really want to pee, you'd better hold it in first." Covering up can hide part of the smell and won't provoke the wolves who come to follow us.

After we walked for an hour, the sky was still not bright, and the snow was fluttering in the air. The wind blew from the side for a while, blowing and blowing, and slammed on the brakes. Suddenly, a strong wind came in front of us. If it is not enough, the person is pushed back by the wind and takes a few big steps backwards.Once, Liu Zhi sat down on the snow directly.

This is the worst weather I have ever encountered except the last time I climbed Tianzi Peak. After walking for a long time, there was still a vast white snow field. Liu Zhi asked me: "Brother, is this the right way? Don't go on the road again. Wrong.” I said, “Don’t worry, you’re right this time, you’re optimistic about Yang Zhonghua, and I’ll go ahead to explore the way.” As I spoke, I quickened my pace and walked forward, the wind was strong, as if I was trying to compete with me on purpose Son, pushed me back violently, and walked forward against the wind, blowing snowflakes all over my nostrils and ears.I really want to turn myself into a ball now and forget about rolling all the way, and save a little effort.After rushing a long way, the outline of a mountain suddenly appeared in the snowy mist's vision, it was Tianzi Peak!

I felt ecstasy in my heart, turned my back, and shouted at Liu Zhi and Yang Zhonghua from a distance, telling them to speed up, I saw that they were also very excited, speeding up and running towards me, their feet were caught in the snow again , while running and wrestling, just rolled all the way and caught up with me.I pointed to the mountain in front and said, "Look, this is Tianzi Peak. Although it is much shorter than Mount Everest, it is steeper. If you want to climb the mountain, you can come here to try it first, but it is best to find a guide first." .”

After confirming the location of Tianzi Peak, it was equivalent to finding Uncle Xianba's house, and the hearts of the three of them immediately warmed up a lot.We walked and trotted all the way forward, and after three hours, we finally saw Uncle Xianba's small house from a distance.The houses in the mountain area are not built very high, that is because of the geographical environment, I rushed forward with all my strength, and shouted the names of Uncle Xianba and Dajie loudly.

When I was shouting loudly, I suddenly heard a few fierce mastiffs barking in the air. I was taken aback, braked suddenly, and almost slipped.Why does it sound so much like Dahei?Before I had time to think about it, I saw the door of Uncle Xianba's house being knocked open by a black shadow, and then the black shadow spread its legs and rushed towards me quickly.

Although it was on the snow field, with such a thick snow, people's feet would be stuck when walking, but the black shadow was running fast, like an arrow, its four legs were almost drawn into a straight line, like a person floating on the snow field. A hovercraft rushed in front of me with a whirr, it was Dahei, it was really Dahei!
I can't believe my eyes, is this Dahei?Why did Dahei suddenly appear here?Could it be that I was dizzy from exhaustion, or was numb from the cold, and even had hallucinations. I bit my finger, and it was already numb from the cold, and I couldn't feel it anymore.

Dahei has already rushed towards me, she stood up, put her two broad feet on my shoulders, good guy, almost at my head, and then stretched out her sticky legs regardless of whether there was anyone beside her. With a sticky tongue, he was so excited that he licked my face recklessly.I was still hesitating, I didn't expect that Dahei would be so enthusiastic and excited. I was thrown by her heavy body, and my feet slipped again. I fell on my back and was crushed by Dahei under my body. She was still excited She cupped my hands with her mouth and licked my hair and face.

Both Liu Zhi and Yang Zhonghua were dumbfounded. When they delivered relief supplies to the small village, they only felt the ferocity and majesty of Dahei. They had never seen a mastiff in such a posture.

I managed to break free from Dahei's sticky tongue. Ha Lazi, who had already been licked by her, wiped my face and said, "Dahei, lead the way, is Uncle Duoji coming?" Hei threw off her four legs excitedly, ran back, looked back at me, and howled, as if answering my words, but unfortunately, everyone present could not understand what she was saying.

When we walked halfway, I saw Uncle Duoji and Uncle Xianba’s family coming out to welcome me. I walked up and asked Uncle Duoji strangely: "Why are you here with Dahei, uncle? When did you come?" We After finally drinking a bowl of hot and spicy yak meat soup, I began to feel some numbness in my hands and feet. Aunt Xianba just came back from the town yesterday, and was in the midst of a Mi-17 airdrop of relief supplies.Aunt Xianba brought us delicious food, heated up the stove to warm our hands and feet, and said, "With government assistance, no matter how cold this winter is, we won't be afraid!"

Dahei suddenly stretched out his head and arched it into my arms. I remembered that there were still a few pieces of wolf meat in my arms, so I took them out and put them on the table.Dajie has been feeling a little unwell for the past two days. He has diarrhea like I did last time. When he came out from the back of the house, he asked, "Brother, is that wolf meat? I look like it." I said, "It's wolf meat. I have been hungry all day, if I hadn’t caught a wolf at night, I wouldn’t have the strength to walk today.”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled by what I said, Liu Zhi snatched it up and told in detail about the crash of the Mi-17 yesterday and our encounter with wolves at night, which surprised everyone present.Uncle Xianba said: "Fortunately, Xiao Bing knows how to fight wits with wolves. If we fight recklessly, we probably won't see you now. You don't know how ferocious mountain wolves are. In such a hungry and cold snowy day, a wolf The wolf is better than the usual three wolves!"

I picked out two pieces of yak meat from the broth bowl and fed them to Dahei. I knew this was not big enough to fit between his teeth, but it was just to reward Dahei for his concern and enthusiasm for me.Dahei also readily accepted, and I teased her, saying, "Dahei, you're back at your mother's house, how do you feel?"

Uncle Dorji lit a pot of dry tobacco pipes. Seeing that we were all fine and not injured, a smile appeared on his worried face, and he pulled himself together and tried to say in a relaxed tone: "Last night, the sky is still alive." It's getting dark, and I haven't seen you come back. I don't know what happened, but I feel my eyelids keep twitching, and my heart is full of panic. I can't stand it anymore. As soon as it gets dark, I will take Dahei out to find you, and I will find you all the way. Come here."
