Chapter 192 Master Dog
“Oh-oh-oh——”
With the loud crow of the big rooster, the sky breaks.
The golden and red sunlight shines down, and the mist-shrouded village gradually becomes clearer.
On a winter morning, the mountains are quiet.
However, an uninvited guest came to Yaowang Village today, breaking the tranquility.
The intrusion of a stranger caused dogs all over the village to bark.
It’s Han Ninggui and the others.
Arrived quite early.
It was only after six o'clock at this time, and Chen Ling's family had just made breakfast.
Wang Qingzhong led five of them over.
We made an agreement in town yesterday to go directly to Wang Qingzhong when we get to Yaowang Village, because his home is in the third household at the entrance of the village and is easy to find.
“Hey, you only brought two dogs?”
Chen Ling was in the yard at this time, accompanying his father-in-law to feed the little yellow dogs.
It was quite strange to see that they only brought two hunting dogs.
Last time they had more than ten big hunting dogs.
Today, their team has only five people and two dogs. Apart from the young man from yesterday, the other two among the five are middle-aged people around forty years old.
The two dogs, one red and one white, were tied with chains and followed closely beside the bobcat.
Compared with the last time Chen Ling saw it, the size of the team this time was a bit small and pitiful.
"Two dogs are enough. They are both good hunting dogs that Xiaolin has trained for more than two years. They are veterans. One can take on several dogs."
Han Ninggui smiled.
The lynx also pointed to the two dogs and introduced to Chen Ling: "This is the Xiangxi red wolf I told you last time. It has good hunting skills and strong wolf nature. The other one was given by a friend. Originally, I thought it looked good-looking, so I kept it for the elderly at home for fun, but I didn’t take it seriously. Who would have thought that after raising it for a while, I discovered that it was actually a natural-born hunting dog..."
What he said The Xiangxi red wolf has short red hair all over its body, a tall and sturdy body, a long dog face, a pair of big erect ears, and a thick mouth. It is very similar to the Soviet red, except that the hair all over the body is dark red and has no other variegated colors. It looks extremely unpleasant. Easy to mess with.
As for the white pine dog, with medium-short hair, a slightly smaller body, a red nose, red eyes, erect ears, and a slightly curled tail, it does not have the ferocity of the Xiangxi red wolf, but looks a little bit different. Very handsome, quite good-looking.
The two dogs followed the people to the mountain. They were supposed to squat next to the bobcat and rest with their tongues out when they entered the yard. But now they held their breath and stared directly at Heiwa and Heiwa. Xiao Jin looked like he didn't even dare to take a breath, looking very cautious.
But Hei Wa and Xiao Jin didn't care about them at all, they were lying behind Wang Cunye playing happily with the little yellow dog.
"Is this white dog a five-red dog? It's really beautiful."
Chen Ling looked at it twice and then let out a heartfelt admiration.
“Yes, it’s a five-red dog. This one doesn’t look like a good hunting dog in every aspect, including appearance, paws, mouth, and nose. It’s really hard to tell.”
Lynx Now that I think about it, I still find it surprising. He rarely makes mistakes when it comes to dogs, but it is also an unexpected surprise.
My father-in-law was also standing by and said, "This dog of yours is indeed good-looking, and the red one is also good-looking. Where did you catch these dogs?"
"The red dog is from Xiangxi, and the white dog is from Guangdong Province."
“Oh, so far.”
“It’s okay, most of them are found by friends. My teacher spends a lot of time outside, so he will help me bring them back along the way...”
At this time, the lynx gently touched the heads of his two dogs to calm their uneasy mood.
Then he looked at Wang Cunye, biting him with his mouth open, and kept following the puppy that was making noise around Heiwa: "Uncle Wang, was this puppy bought at the market yesterday?"
"Yes. Ah, tiger-headed yellow, tiger-headed yellow, have you heard of it? The most ferocious hunting dog here can run faster than a wolf in the forest..."
"Of course I know this, the rich family Isn't that what they are, but his two tiger-headed yellow dogs are a bit too powerful, they are not doing much, and my two dogs dare not move. "
The lynx said helplessly. .
The other three people in the team behind him were quite surprised. This was the first time they saw a hunting dog raised by a bobcat frightened by other dogs.
I also walked up to him and asked questions.
At this time, Gao Xiulan started talking when she saw them standing in the yard, and quickly moved out a few stools for them to sit down.
A few people hurriedly thanked them, took out some small gadgets and gave them to the little kids to play with.
"Dad, let Shanmao show you how this puppy is doing. He specializes in raising hunting dogs and knows this best."
After sitting down, Chen Ling said.
Wang Cunye caught the little yellow dog and showed it to the bobcat.
The lynx caught it in his hand and observed it, frowning slightly: "This puppy may not have changed its hair yet. Apart from the hair, there are no obvious tiger head yellow features, but its breathing is still quite steady. , Fugui picked it for you?”
“Ang, he picked it for me.”
“Yes, this puppy will have strong endurance after being raised. He kept eating just now. He is playing around, and his breathing is not messed up..."
The lynx nodded in approval.
After putting down the little yellow dog, the little guy twisted his little buttocks and jumped up and down in front of the dog he brought, playing and making a lot of clear and childish barking sounds.
Seeing this, the lynx added: "It's really courageous, that's good. It's just that his character is a bit too lively, and he's still a little male dog, not suitable for being a hunting dog."
"Haha, I didn’t want to be raised as a hunting dog.”
Wang Cunye’s request was very simple, just to find a smart and fun puppy to relieve his boredom.
Chen Ling also explained: "My father just wants Heiwa to be naughty and mischievous. His temper is too boring and he can't even bark. He may be suitable as a hunting dog, but he is not suitable for the elderly."
The lynx was very surprised when he heard this.
It’s not surprising that Wang Cunye chose such a dog.
But Chen Ling's description of Heiwa was strange: "Heiwa is naughty and mischievous, right?"
His impression of Heiwa was still that of the majestic and dignified village dog. He faced off with more than a dozen of their hunting dogs, and bit off the neck of one of them in two or two blows. He was as fierce and fierce as a big black dog like a lion.
How could he be naughty?
Chen Ling smiled helplessly when he heard this: "Don't look at how decent it usually behaves. Once you get familiar with it, you will know. This idiot is not as stable as Xiao Jin. He has no place to use his energy all day long. Give it to them when building a house." I built two large and spacious kennels. After it was fresh for two or three days, I started to dig holes in the kennels. After filling it, I dug again within two days. After filling it, I dug again. It was deeper than a rabbit could dig. , now I am too lazy to care about it..."
Heiwa was lying on the ground chewing leaves out of boredom. When he heard people talking, he quieted down, looked at them doubtfully for a while, and then changed two leaves. , continue to chew.
The lynx glanced at Heiwa, but still didn't believe it, and said, "This must be because he is too energetic. You can just take him to run in the mountains more often. The hunting dog can't stay home all the time."< br>
As he said this, he glanced at Heiwa with a very distressed look. Such a good dog was forced to dig a hole at home to vent his anger. The mountains and forests were their world.
I thought that this time when I go into the mountains, I should persuade my rich brothers to run around in the mountains more often when I have nothing to do. I can’t let such two good dogs go to waste.
As for the two dogs he brought, after discovering that Hei Wa and Xiao Jin ignored them, they slowly lowered their guard and lay at his feet, sticking out their tongues and panting.
I can finally have a good rest.
They were chatting and breakfast was ready.
Wang Susu and Gao Xiulan took out the breakfast, put it on the dining table, and invited everyone to eat.
"Have you eaten everything? If not, have some food at our house before going out."
"Eat, we ate in town, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about us..."
Han Ninggui helped move the bench over and said with a smile: "The steamed meat cakes at the dock in your town are very delicious. , we were still hungry, so we bought more in one go. "
"Oh, how can we just eat steamed meat cakes? Everyone will finish the porridge later."
Wang Cunye. also said.
Han Ninggui and others couldn't resist, so they had to sit down and drink a bowl of porridge again.
The hot porridge warms people's hearts.
The last few people repeatedly lamented that it is better to have acquaintances. They don’t have to worry about being cheated everywhere, and they still have porridge to drink. It is much better than living in a place where they are unfamiliar.
... After eating happily, everyone packed their things and prepared to set off.
They all have tents and simple daily necessities.
Chen Ling brought the newly bought hoe. When he came back yesterday afternoon, Wang Cunye helped him make a wooden handle, which was just enough for use. In addition, there are also my father-in-law’s bows and arrows.
Wang Qingzhong was carrying a steel fork and a hunting knife for cutting meat.
It was only around eight o'clock when they left. Under the golden morning light, Wang Cunye and Wang Qingwen also followed them out, preparing to see them off for a while.
When you leave Yaowang Village, you must first worship the mountain god.
This is the same as Chen Wangzhuang worshiping the Lord of the Land.
When going into the mountains to collect herbs or hunting, you must say hello to the mountain gods or the land to show respect.
Otherwise, if they make the two grandfathers unhappy, they will hide the precious herbs and drive away all the prey, so that people who enter the mountain will come in empty-handed and leave empty-handed without getting half of the harvest.
However, there were few people entering the mountain this time.
It’s different from Chenwangzhuang where half the village goes hunting, so I just put up incense sticks and pay my respects.
No need for tributes or firecrackers.
After the worship was completed, Wang Qingzhong led the way for everyone.
Wang Cunye was dragged into a small chat by Han Ninggui and others.
Mainly ask about some rare beasts and medicinal materials that are rare in the mountains.
"Brother, have you seen the things in this photo?"
Han Ninggui held a stack of photos and pointed to the top one for him to recognize.
This photo shows a black, strange creature with two short horns that looks like a deer but not a deer, and looks like a sheep but not a sheep. It was photographed under a thick tree.
"This is a mountain called a donkey."
Wang Cunye recognized it at a glance. "This thing runs like a gust of wind. It likes to run up the cliffs, making it difficult for people to catch it."
"Have you really seen it here?"
"Of course, we used to see it often when collecting herbs, but now it is rare, and it is rare to see it only once in two or three years."
Han Ninggui asked about the scientific name of this thing: serow, which is also called mountain donkey, mountain donkey, or rock donkey. It has similar habits to blue sheep. It likes to run and climb on steep ridges and cliffs. It is becoming increasingly rare nowadays.
After asking Wang Cunye, Han Ninggui felt that he had gained a lot, and asked about a few wild animals and herbs. Wang Cunye had seen most of them, but they were all the same. These things have become increasingly difficult to see in recent years, or even in the past ten years. Looking at the confusion and doubts of Bobcat and others, Chen Ling knew that this was caused by wanton hunting and the extensive use of pesticides.
Like native leopards, they often appeared in villages in the past and were easy to encounter when walking at night.
Now it is gone, largely because local leopards continue to accidentally eat dead mice and hares in the farmland and are poisoned to death, so they are too scared to come.
After all, the pesticides at this time are very toxic.
"After passing the Tea Mountain ahead, we have to walk a section of Zhucao Road. The road is steep, so everyone should pay attention to where you step."
Wang Qingzhong reminded at this time.
After passing this section of the road, we slowly entered the depths of the mountain forest.
A group of people stopped.
Shan Mao let the two dogs go, and Chen Ling also gave orders to Hei Wa and Xiao Jin.
The four dogs rushed into the forest and began to chase the mountain.
This time there is no need for anyone to follow and act as a chaser to help drive away the prey.
The four dogs can just go chase the mountains by themselves.
This was agreed upon before coming here.
To let the four dogs show off.
Otherwise, if strange hunting dogs are put together, they will easily fight. It is better to put them into the forest first and compete based on their abilities.
It's equivalent to running in.
Good hunting dogs have good tempers and strong self-esteem. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have their own arrogance.
So after encountering each other, no one will accept anyone.
This situation is easy to handle.
As the saying goes: It's the mule or the horse that comes out to run around.
No matter what kind of hunting dog you are, as long as you run two laps in the mountains, regardless of endurance, speed, or the sensitivity of your sense of smell and ear...
You will know in one comparison.
It is clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak.
This cannot be faked.
Whoever catches the prey the fastest is the winner.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
The time they waited there was not long, only about five minutes.
Xiao Jin returned to the place first, holding a fat rabbit in his mouth, trotting to Chen Ling, and put the rabbit on the ground.
Following him was Hei Wa, who caught a squirrel.
The squirrel was not dead yet. As soon as Heiwa put it down, it tried to run away, but Heiwa held down its tail and played with it.
The performance of the two dogs amazed Bobcat and others.
"It's amazing, one round trip in five minutes..."
There is no need to compare.
Whether comparing harvest or hunting speed, the two dogs of the Chen Ling family are superior.
It doesn't matter if you are not convinced.
They can still catch them again.
A piece of cake.
The lynx had to whistle to call his two dogs back.
Good hunting dogs are smart and they also realize that they have lost.
After running back, he was not discouraged, but the eyes he looked at Hei Wa and Xiao Jin were no longer as wary and vigilant as before.
Dogs are very similar to wolves.
Wolves have a strict hierarchy.
Dogs also need to distinguish themselves when they are together.
But the same thing is that they all worship the strong and obey the strong.
Only the dog that can win is qualified to be the head hunter.
"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced. I only knew that these two dogs of yours are powerful, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful..."
In fact, Bobcat has always been interested in comparison.
Especially when he heard Zhao Dahai say that the Chen Ling family's dogs had fought against wolves and killed several wolves, he felt even more itchy.
Because he often went to the mountains to catch wolves in order to breed dogs, and the dogs he raised were also very good.
Unexpectedly, I still lost.
"To be honest, over the years, whenever my dogs go into the mountains with people, they are always my dogs. I didn't expect that today they will become green leaves."
The lynx sighed, He squatted on the ground and stretched out his hands to comfort his two dogs.
The head dog is the head hunter.
When hunting dogs are driving mountains and hunting, the alpha dog has the highest status among the hunting dogs.
As the name suggests, it is the leading hunting dog.
Except for the head dog, the other dogs are called gang dogs.
It is a dog that helps drive and harass prey.
The gang dog is obedient to the leader dog.
This is why we have to compete.
Chen Ling didn't feel anything proud about this.
It would be weird if my dog lost.
However, he still said: "It's because they were lucky and took advantage of the location and became a local snake."
"No, no, no, this is not a local snake. This is well-raised He is a serious master dog."
Shanmao said, his tone showing seriousness.
He looked at Hei Wa and Xiao Jin with unconcealable envy.
The master dog is also the alpha dog.
They are just the most intelligent and powerful ones among alpha dogs.
Only one out of a hundred is good.
The master is diligent, has fast feet, can run, find, stay and follow orders.
That is, being able to hunt for big prey alone, such as wild boar and wild deer.
After finding it, it can leave the big prey alone.
It can stay on its own without the cooperation of humans and other dogs.
In addition, it can push, shout, and retreat.
After stopping a big prey, if it encounters danger, it can withstand resistance, call for support from others and companions, and retreat at the right time if the opportunity is bad.
"Haha, forget it, there are still master dogs, you are almost praising them to the sky."
Chen Ling said with a smile.
The others laughed too.
Master Gou sounded mysterious.
In fact, the alpha wolf of many wolf packs can do this.
Of course, a tiger can do it alone.
This requires extremely rich hunting experience and fairly accurate judgment.
Hound dogs need to be trained slowly after living with people for a long time. Therefore, it is not easy to produce a master dog.
The group continued on their way.
At this time, the priorities are very clear.
The alpha dog walks in front of the hunter.
A dog that follows people is a helping dog.
So Xiaojin walked in front, and Heiwa and the other two dogs followed beside the person.
Wang Cunye is now leading the way to the place where he met the golden monkey the day before yesterday.
Climb over a cliff and pass by the ridge where Liangkou Village can be seen. Not long after, we arrived at our destination.
"This is it. Look, there are so many monkey hairs on the ground, and you can see blood here."
Wang Cunye pointed to the vicinity of this big tree and said.
Seeing this, Han Ninggui took people over and carefully collected the monkey hair.
At the same time, Xiao Jin also started sniffing carefully at Chen Ling's signal.
Two days and two nights passed.
The traces and smell left by the golden monkey are no longer obvious, this is already a cold show.
But obviously this is not a problem for Xiao Jin.
Soon, it barked softly, wagging its head and tail at Chen Ling's feet, indicating that it had successfully found the coquettish girl and could move out at any time.
