Chapter 108 The Temptation for Wolves
Before dark, Yushanjiang drove the cattle, sheep and horses scattered on the nearby hillside to eat in the warm pen, and then he grabbed one from the warm pen. The fat sheep came and were put into the open pen outside.
The heating circle is a wooden house with a roof. Although there is no fire inside, the body heat emitted by the cattle and sheep can keep each other warm after they enter. The open circle is the most common type. It is surrounded by wood and has a door. It is used for resting during the day in spring, summer, autumn or winter.
The sheep entered the open pen and screamed loudly because of loneliness or fear.
“Let’s find a place to ambush now.” Yushanjiang said to Li Long, “The wolf is very cunning and will observe for a long time before it can come. So, we have to wait in the snow. It’s a long time!”
"It's okay. I just drank milk tea and ate meat. I'm so relieved. I can afford to wait." Li Long knew that Yushanjiang was reminding him, so he said with a smile, "It's okay. No matter what I say today, I have to let the wolf You know how powerful we are!”
Yu Shanjiang nodded and made preparations.
Li Long had the same experience as last time. This time he was still lying next to the sheep dung pile. He took some snow to protect his sides. Yushanjiang provided him with a sheepskin coat with a sheepskin mattress underneath, which was very luxurious.
Lying in the snow, Li Long quickly felt the chill. However, he and Harim had had the experience of ambushing wolves before, so he felt that the chill now was not as strong as before.
Spring is about to melt and the snow is about to melt. Li Long feels that after this trip in the mountains is finished and he returns, some things on the team need to start.
The fish in Xiaohaizi cannot be washed away in vain like in the previous life. If such good resources can be retained, it will be a great thing for both yourself and the team.
In addition, not only are there fish in Xiaohaizi, there is also a Dahaizi Reservoir about one kilometer north of the production team. It was originally a wetland. In the 1960s, a dam was built to the north of the wetland, and then a canal was opened to divert water from the Ma River. , forming a public reservoir to irrigate tens of thousands of acres of land downstream.
There are a lot of fish in that big sea, but because the reeds and other plant resources nearby are not abundant, the fish in it are relatively thin.
Li Long was just passing the time with random thoughts when he suddenly heard the sheep scream loudly, and the scream was much sadder than before!
He shivered and immediately began to observe his surroundings.
Yushanjiang saw Li Long turn his head, moved his chin slightly, and motioned to the forest on the other side of the open circle.
Li Long felt a little ashamed. He was far worse than these old herdsmen and hunters.
He looked in the direction indicated by the Yushan River. Over there was a dark forest. Occasionally, the wind blew through, and the sounds of branches colliding in the pine forest and snow falling on the branches could be heard.
But Li Long did not see the wolf.
The sheep were still very scared, running back and forth in circles in the open pen, looking towards the forest from time to time, and then shouting loudly towards the winter nest, as if asking for help from their master or companions.
Occasionally a sheep brayed once or twice in the warm pen, but most of the cattle and sheep did not move. The Yushanjiang family's dog was brought into the winter den. Someone was probably controlling it, so it didn't bark.
Li Long looked hard at the forest over there, and when his eyes were so sore that he was about to shed tears, he finally found a black figure, wandering on the edge of the forest, moving lightly, walking back and forth in the snow. He stood without making the slightest sound.
The location was more than a hundred meters away from here. Li Long used the sight of his gun to set it, but he couldn't see it at all.
If it weren't for the fact that this area used to be mostly snow, he wouldn't even be able to find the black shadow.
The wolf wandered on the edge of the forest for nearly half an hour, listening to the sheep shouting loudly until his voice became hoarse. Then he took light steps and slowly walked towards the open circle. Come over here. As I walked over, I looked left and right from time to time and smelled if there was any strange smell in the air.
This is not a wolf, it is more cunning than a fox!
Li Long cursed secretly and moved his fingers from time to time to facilitate shooting later.
The wolf finally came to the open pen. The sheep could no longer scream. It desperately leaned on the wooden railing near the winter den, hoping to find something to support itself and not fall down.
The wolf circled around the open circle, found a low place, and jumped in lightly.
Li Long slowly moved the muzzle of the gun, preparing to shoot.
Yu Shanjiang said before that don’t spare the sheep. It’s best to wait until the wolf bites you before shooting. At that time, the wolf won’t move, so it’s best to shoot.
But to be honest, he really didn’t want the sheep to be bitten by the wolf. What a pity!
The wolf was still alert at this time, looking left and right as he approached the sheep, his steps light and powerful.
Finally, the wolf came to the sheep, and the sheep burst out with its final courage, lowered its head and pushed towards the wolf!
Li Long secretly praised, watching as the wolf dodged the sheep's attack with just a slight jump, and then stretched out its mouth to bite the sheep!
“Bang!”
Li Long shot!
The bullet passed under the wolf's back. The wolf staggered. His mouth had already bitten the sheep, but he immediately let go, turned around and ran away.
Obviously, the bullet probably missed the vital point.
Li Long kept staring at the wolf, immediately aimed in the direction of the wolf's advance, and prepared to shoot in advance. The shot was already fired from the other side of the Yushan River.
Coincidentally, the wolf only ran out three to five meters, its front legs gave way, and it fell to the ground. It just happened to avoid Yu Shanjiang's shot, and Li Longhou's shot also failed. It hit the snow in front of the wolf, kicking up patches of snow.
The wolf was frightened by the sound of gunshots, and jumped up suddenly. He actually used this power to escape from the gap in the wooden fence of the sheepfold, and limped towards the mountain forest.
Li Long got up and chased forward with his gun in hand. Yu Shanjiang actually felt that Li Long's shooting was a bit hasty. If a wolf bites a sheep, if you shoot at that time, the wolf will never be able to escape.
But looking at the sheep still alive in the pen, he could understand what Li Long was thinking.
Li Long panted heavily and quickly chased the wolf. The wolf's blood was dripping on the snow. It could hear someone chasing it, but it didn't even bother to turn around and just ran towards the forest.
Li Long didn't expect that the wolf could make such a big noise when it was about to die, and it could run quite fast!
Seeing that the wolf was only thirty or forty meters away from the forest, Li Long stopped, raised his gun and took aim!
Due to the violent breathing, the first shot missed, and the wolf moved forward a little further. He ignored Xu Chengjun's previous words not to suppress his breathing, held his breath, squatted down, and rested his elbows on his knees. Go up, put the wolf that was almost running into the shadow of the mountain forest into the sight circle, and then pulled the trigger again!
The distance was only fifty meters. After Li Long fired the shot, he took aim again and fired without any hesitation!
The wolf suddenly lunged forward and fell into the snow.
Li Long let out a sigh of relief.
Should--be beaten to death, right?
