Chapter 154 A wolf or a dog
Zhang An looked at Mr. Huang like this and smiled.
"Second Master, why don't you pick one and raise it? You've always wanted a tiger cub, and here it is."
Second Master Huang has been raising a tiger cub before It was hard for An to remember this greeting in front of An.
Anyway, there are so many dogs at home now, so Zhang An generously asked Mr. Huang to pick one.
Listening to Zhang An's words, Mr. Huang shook his head. As a veteran, he definitely wanted a good dog.
When he saw this litter of puppies, he wanted to ask for one to be raised.
But once I heard that this was the child of Xiaohu and Qinglang, I gave up the idea.
Without him, this pup of a dog and a wolf is too wild and can easily defend itself against its owner.
“Forget it, this little guy still has the wild nature of a green wolf. I may not be able to tame him well, and raising him may not be a good thing.”
It turns out that Mr. Huang was afraid of this. Zhang An shook his head after hearing this.
"Second Master, you are wrong. The cubs usually follow their father. These are tiger cubs, which are different from those produced by male wolves."
The reason why Second Master Huang is worried , which makes sense.
This is because the older generation often said that even the pups born from wolves and dogs.
It is still a wolf, it will not turn into a dog, it is not the same thing as a wolfdog.
Because the wild nature in its blood cannot be suppressed at all, it is not easy to tame it in a short period of time, and it is easy to defend against the master.
This statement is well-founded, because in the past, many people raised wolf and dog cubs, and in the end, many people were injured by them.
This kind of thing happens a lot, and everyone has learned this lesson.
But in fact, the ones you see are basically the offspring of a male wolf and a grass dog.
So the docility that the straw dog brings to the pups cannot suppress the wildness that the male wolf brings to it, and that is why such a situation occurs.
The ones Zhang An had were different. Most of their genes came from tiger cubs, so the female wolf would not have a great impact on them.
Although the little tiger still has some wolf nature in his bones, Zhang An has raised him for so long, and this problem has long since disappeared.
So in these cubs, Zhang An believes that the genes of the cubs will play the main role.
“To communicate with human nature, unless you treat it badly, Mr. Huang, and raise it to the point where it hates you.”
Hearing what Zhang An said, Mr. Huang stared a little. Only look at Zhang An.
“Nonsense, when did your second master’s dogs have a hard time with them?”
As a veteran, how could he possibly abuse dogs?
As a person who is reluctant to eat meat at home, he would rather leave it to the dogs.
Huang Erye cannot listen to these words.
Even the native dog raised at home now, Mr. Huang is very good to it.
"That's it. Don't worry about raising it. This dog will definitely be like a little tiger in the future."
After hearing what Zhang An said, Mr. Huang didn't think much about it.
Zhang An's little tiger is famous for being obedient and clever in the nearby Shiliba Village.
"Nacheng, you take it home first, and I will come and get it in the evening."
On the way back to the village, these little guys were squirming in Zhang An's clothes, and they were whining. Screaming indiscriminately.
Huang Erye took out the sickle from his basket and handed the basket to Zhang An.
"Anzi, you put them in a basket and carry them on your back. They will feel uncomfortable if you carry them like this."
Of course, it is also to not be so conspicuous.
Zhang An’s dogs are all good dogs. If anyone knew now that they were Xiaohu’s offspring.
They don't care whether it's a dog-wolf hybrid or not, they have to ask for it when they meet.
Anyway, they don't go into the mountains, they just keep housekeepers, so how can they care about so many people?
There are just a few cubs, and it is impossible for everyone to get them. Some people will feel uncomfortable when the time comes.
Put it in a basket to avoid having to come up to beg for it when you meet anyone.
"Mom, I'm back."
Zhang An entered the yard. The door of his house was open, which meant that his parents were at home.
"You're back. I also told your dad when will you come back. Hurry up and prepare for dinner."
Wang Fang in the room has just finished cooking in the kitchen. The dishes were brought out.
"Come right away."
Zhang An put the puppy in the basket into the kennel, and the two tigers next to him suddenly became confused.
They were lying in the kennel when they saw Zhang An dumping a bunch of cubs out.
Everyone got up and circled around the five little ones, sniffing them constantly.
Then he looked at Zhang An and then at Xiaohu.
Not long after these little guys were born, they have only seen tiger cubs and female wolves.
Seeing Dahu and Erhu, I was a little scared and unfamiliar.
Then they saw the tiger cub lying down in the nest, and they all shrank up and lay down next to the tiger cub.
"You two, don't bully them, otherwise I will have good fruits for you to eat."
Zhang An patted the heads of Dahu and Erhu.
They are the most playful. In the past, they would chase and play with the newly hatched chicks at home.
When I see this little puppy this time, I will definitely be unable to contain my excitement.
So Zhang An gave them both a vaccination in advance.
"Where did you come from, you little bitch?"
Zhang Jianguo washed the mud on his hands by the pool and saw Zhang An surrounded by the dog pen.
He walked over and took a look and found that his son had brought back several puppies.
"Dad, this is all Xiaohu's doing. I'll tell you about it later over dinner."
When Zhang Jianguo heard Zhang An say it was Xiaohu's doing, he immediately became happy.
He thought Xiaohu went outside and hooked up with someone's straw dog.
"Xiao An, tell me what's going on with this dog?"
When the family was eating, Zhang Jianguo asked about the puppy.
If the little tiger is really matched with someone's straw dog, he must be given to someone else. At most, he will want one for his own family.
“What kind of dog are you guys talking about? Where did it come from?”
Wang Fang couldn't understand some of what the father and son were talking about.
"Mom, here's the thing. Didn't we say last night that the little tiger was sneaking out during this period?"
"I followed it out today and ran for two times. For three hours, we ran to the old forest of Dashan Cave. "What? Why is this little tiger so wild?" Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang followed Zhang An. I went to a big cave and felt a little outrageous.
They usually thought that the little tiger would wander around the nearby mountains at most, but who would have thought that the little tiger could run so far away.
"This is not a problem. Our tiger cubs have even more powerful ones. They found a green wolf to be their daughter-in-law. Now all the babies have been born, except for the five cubs I brought back. "
"If I hadn't found it, I wouldn't have brought this guy back."
As he talked, Zhang An kept talking about following Xiaohu from home. From the time the cub fought with the female wolf for custody, he told his parents everything.
At this moment Wang Fang also didn’t know what to say.
This incident reminded her of the dogs in the village who were paired with the wolves in the mountains. But that was all many years ago. At that time, there were many wolves in the mountains and they came down the mountains frequently.
But there are not many wolves now, and they don’t go down the mountain very often.
I don’t know how to describe the expression on Wang Fang’s face now. She is a little happy and a little confused.
I am happy that Xiaohu still knows how to find a wife, but what is confusing is how he found the green wolf in the mountains.
Then Wang Fang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the tiger cub was fighting with the mother wolf for the baby. The mother wolf couldn't fight and ran away.
Fortunately, my little tiger was just greedy for the body of the female wolf and did not follow the female wolf into the mountains without returning home. This is a good thing.
"That's good, as long as the little tiger comes back, it will be good. When I was still in your husband's house, there were many mountain watchers in the village. Somehow, after they were matched with the green wolf in the mountains, they have been together since then. I won’t go home and follow the wolves outside.”
Zhang An already knew what his mother said.
Because the little tiger’s mother is a clear case, but the one she is with is a wolf.
This is much better than other local dogs, at least it has a certain status in the wolf pack.
"Mom, those are just grass dogs. Our tiger cub is different from them. The tiger cub is smart."
"Then Anzi, is this bastard a wolf or a dog now?"
Wang Fang is still a little worried. Don’t wait until these cubs grow up and they are all wolves. Then this joke is too big.
Everyone has a bad impression of the green wolf in the mountains.
“I think it’s a dog, because the puppies follow their father, and I see that the tails of these puppies are upturned like tiger cubs, so they should not be wolves.”
Zhang An judged that wolves The basis for talking about dogs is mostly based on their tails.
No matter what the wolf's tail is doing, it always hangs down, while the dog's tail is always raised.
When Zhang An was on the mountain, these puppies had their tails between their legs out of fear.
So Zhang An didn't see at that time that they were wolves or dogs.
But later, after they got familiar with Zhang An, they were no longer afraid of Zhang An, and naturally raised their tails.
Zhang Ancai brought them back with confidence and boldness.
Although there is space, Zhang An does not want to take risks.
If these cubs are wolves, they will still be dangerous to their parents when they grow up.
"Anzi is right, the cubs follow their father. In the past, we saw those cubs that could not be raised by the family. Most of them were the offspring of grass dogs mated by male wolves. Therefore, they were still wolf cubs and could not be raised by the family. It’s a normal thing.”
When Zhang An said this, Zhang Jianguo understood.
They all know that many families who want a good dog usually have to ask whose dog they want.
But in fact, when a male wolf is paired with a straw dog, 80 to 90 percent of them are wolf cubs, and a small number of them are dog cubs.
The tiger cubs and the others are the few in Zhang An’s family.
Of course Zhang An didn’t tell his parents about this. The tiger cubs are descendants of the green wolf.
It was precisely for this reason that the big gray dog did not dare to be taken to the wolves at that time.
Because such cubs are naturally weak and cannot be fed at all.
The result of being brought to a pack of wolves is that you will definitely be eaten.
But fortunately, Xiaohu and the others were lucky enough to meet Zhang An.
Later, due to space constraints, the tiger cubs and the others survived in good health.
And they not only retain the docility of dogs, but also the ferocity and caution of wolves.
"That's fine, as long as it's a dog. It's hard to raise wolf cubs, and they won't be able to support a family for many years."
Wang Fang said this and began to recall what happened when she was young. .
At this time, Zhang An was also glad that the mother wolf could not compete with the cub and ran away.
If it relies on Xiaohu to stay, Zhang An doesn’t know what to do with it.
It would definitely be inappropriate to leave it behind.
I drove them away but I was afraid that the little tiger would be reluctant to let go. The little tiger finally found a wife. As the master, I can't be a villain and break them up.
So after it ran away on its own, it became a lot easier for Zhang An.
And judging by the look of the little tiger, he is indeed greedy for the body of the she-wolf, and has no intention of running into the mountains with the she-wolf to suffer.
It should know. When it stays at home, Zhang An takes it into the space from time to time. How can there be such a good thing in the mountains?
When entering the mountains, let’s not talk about whether the wolves will accept it or not. Even if it follows the wolves, it will be hungry for nine meals in three days.
Otherwise, how did the name Hungry Wolf come about?
But after the female wolf ran away, Xiaohu didn't take any souvenirs. He was really a scumbag.
After lunch, the family took a good rest.
At noon time, Zhang An followed his parents to the nest field with a hoe in hand to shovel the ground.
When they arrived at the nest, those people invited by Wang Fang had returned from dinner long ago and had already started working on the fields.
It turns out that in the village, it is usually a big job like building a house that someone pays for the work.
But after the Zhang An family started to flourish during this period, many families in the village began to pay for labor.
This is good for everyone. People with better families don’t have to return favors when they are very tired.
As for those whose families are not very good, they can work more and earn some money to support their families.
This is much better than working outside, and you can also take care of your family.
Not to mention that the work requires a lot of people. Zhang An and his family worked for most of the day yesterday.
Almost one acre of land has been cleared. Wang Fang hired a dozen people today and several acres of open land have been shoveled out this morning.
At this rate, this land can be cleared in four or five days.
After dinner, Mr. Huang came to Zhang An’s house to pick out a dog.
These guys were all good in his eyes, and he couldn't decide which one he wanted after spending a long time choosing them.
After choosing and choosing, I chose a pair with a slightly grayer coat and took it back. When Mr. Huang left, the little tiger bit his trouser leg and refused to let him go.
Maybe it also knows that its child was abducted by this bad old man.
Finally, Zhang An pulled Xiaohu aside, and Mr. Huang got away.
The little tiger didn't act like a monster at the back. Zhang An thought it had calmed down, so he didn't care.
When Zhang An got up the next day, he was dumbfounded when he went to the pen to feed fodder.
The puppy that Mr. Huang took away yesterday is currently sleeping under the little tiger’s belly.
"Zhang An, take Xiaohu over and help me look for it. The puppy I took away from you yesterday can't be found."
Early in the morning, Mr. Huang started looking for it. Come to your door.
“Second Master, there’s no need to look for it, the dog is here.”
Zhang An was a little embarrassed when the owner came to the door. He had just said yesterday that he would give it away to someone else.
As a result, they only brought the dog home for one night, and the next day the dog was lying in their own pen.
If Zhang An guessed correctly, it was definitely Xiaohu who did something good.
When Mr. Huang saw Xiaohu like this, he also knew what was going on.
“Forget it, I won’t keep this dog anymore.”
The two families are too close to each other, and this little tiger is a bit of a monster.
Huang Erye thought for a while and decided not to let the dog go. There were tiger cubs that he couldn’t keep.
Zhang An didn’t believe this evil, so he still asked Mr. Huang to take the puppy back.
