Chapter 197 Leaving
“Zhong, your medicine is a bit too toxic.”
When Chen Ling came back from cleaning the wounds of the two dogs, Han Ninggui and two middle-aged men were surrounding him. Wang Qingzhong, in front of Wang Qingzhong is a wolf with an arrow.
The arrow was inserted into the wolf's ribs, but other than that, there were no other injuries.
But the wolf was half dead, lying on the ground with its tongue hanging out, watching as the air coming in became less and the air coming out less.
Even after being dragged out of the bushes, he remained motionless.
"No, it just looks scary."
Wang Qingzhong scratched his head and smiled, then pulled out the arrow, "There is no snake venom in this medicine. If you give it water in time, it will be fine." Slow down."
"Can it be mixed with snake venom?"
Han Ninggui was shocked.
No one else noticed it just now, but he saw it.
Not long after the wolf was hit by the arrow, he lost his balance and staggered and fell into the bushes.
This kind of toxicity is scary enough, but I didn’t expect to add snake venom.
“Yes, these are all used for hunting. Most of them are used as curare poison to be applied to arrowheads. However, our family is not a hunter, so it is not very useful now.”
“… ”
"The more I listen, the more confused I become. Zhong, do you think humans can eat such poisoned prey?" You can’t eat it after being poisoned by snake venom.”
“How many people can prepare this medicine?”
“Not many, my family’s prescriptions are all handed down from my grandfather.”
“That’s it, that’s okay.”
Chen Ling applied medicine to the two dogs by the fire and listened to their conversation.
Two days before he arrived, his father-in-law showed him the recipe for hunting medicine.
This medicine is made from cantharides, Aconitum, and herbs.
It is also different from the old Orion in Kinmen Village.
The main ones over there are Nux Vomica and Dionysus nigricans, which is also known as Bronchus.
In short, it’s okay to eat cooked food after making it.
He gave medicine to the dogs, and the bobcat squatted next to him, giving medicine to his two dogs.
His red dog was seriously injured. The wounds were clearly visible on the back of the neck, ribs, and buttocks, and blood is still oozing out.
Especially on the buttocks, there were so many wounds. They were bleeding profusely just now. The blood was flowing down, which made the Bobcat feel very distressed.
I wiped it with alcohol over and over again until the cotton wool was soaked in red. After wiping it, I threw it into the fire. The flames swayed and sizzled.
Compared to the red dog, the white dog was not seriously injured, and he was still in the mood to come to Chen Ling's side and watch him apply medicine to Hei Wa.
After this battle, they became much closer to Hei Wa.
Chen Ling touched its head and opened the hair on its neck to see that it was nothing serious. Then he stood up and walked aside, waving to the golden monkey on the tree in the distance.
Soon, a female monkey jumped down holding a leather hat.
In that leather hat was an injured little monkey. Maybe it was because of the warmth. At first, it wanted to crawl out, but now it is reluctant to come out.
A pack of wolves came just now. After taking away the cubs, these monkeys also came to support them in the trees, and they started fighting the wolves more eagerly than humans.
But the fruits they threw had no effect at all.
"Ah, ah..."
After being put on the ground by the mother monkey, the little monkey stretched out his head from the hat, looked at Chen Ling with his big eyes, and screamed softly, hoarsely. Sounds like a lamb.
With his mother by his side, he is no longer afraid of Chen Ling.
When Chen Ling dipped the ointment in to apply it, the little thing grabbed Chen Ling's hand, put it to the tip of his nose, and smelled it out of curiosity.
But the next moment, Chen Ling held his head and applied it to the wound. It hurt. The little monkey struggled and screamed.
It’s like a child getting an injection.
"Not bad, I have some strength."
At this time Han Ninggui came over.
"Yeah, I'm still in good spirits now, let's get better soon."
Chen Ling smiled, in fact, the ointment he had was brought out by Dongtian.
I believe the wounds on the little monkey will heal soon.
As long as you can eat normally and regain your health, it will not be difficult to survive this winter.
...The night passed smoothly, and the wolves did not come to attack again.
But the howls of wolves and the cries of various wild beasts on the distant mountains continued for most of the night without stopping.
This resulted in no one sleeping well at night.
After getting up in the morning, except for Chen Ling who was in high spirits, everyone else was yawning non-stop.
However, Shanmao still managed to gather his energy, pulled Chen Ling and asked Wang Qingzhong to lead the way. The three of them went to the wolf den yesterday with guns in hand.
After careful inspection, I found that the wolf cub was indeed missing.
Obviously, all the wolves here have moved away.
And judging from Xiao Jin’s reaction, the wolf last night belonged to this wolf pack.
“Perhaps the female wolf on the clip is the alpha wolf in the pack. Most of the alpha wolves in the pack are a male and a female, with a high status. Otherwise, after releasing it, it will not Come to take revenge on us at night..."
Shanmao guessed.
I was very confused before coming here.
I specially brought Xiao Jin here to confirm.
I didn’t expect it was really this pack of wolves.
"The alpha wolf? Is he the wolf king?"
Wang Qingzhong asked.
“It’s almost the same. There are too few wolves in the wolf pack, so the alpha wolf is the leader. Only a big wolf pack has a wolf king.”
The lynx nodded, "Actually, sometimes you don't need to make the distinction so clearly, and this is not the key."
"Do you remember what I told you yesterday? Wolves like to give birth when the farming is busy, because People don’t care about them when they are busy, but this female wolf is very different.”
“This is probably due to the flood this year. The wolf cubs drowned before they came out of the den, and then they mate again. So we pay special attention to it.”
“After we find the wolf den, if the wolves feel that the wolf cubs are threatened, they will give us a warning.”
Wang Qingzhong didn’t quite understand. He just said with a smile: "Whatever it is, just beat it away. Otherwise, the wolf den is so close to the village and there will be trouble again this winter."
"Second brother is right, let's go back to eat."
Chen Ling didn't care so much. He had been observing the footprints and feces left by the wolf near the wolf cave. He wanted to go into the mountains to play in the future, but met You can identify it as soon as you arrive.
"Okay, let's go back to eat, and then go to bed after eating."
It's okay not to say anything, but at this point, the bobcat started to yawn again.
He stayed with the young boy for half the night yesterday.
When it was almost dawn, the wild beasts on the mountain stopped barking, and then they went back to the tent to sleep.
I am very sleepy now.
Have a simple breakfast after going back.
It was time to rest, and Chen Ling and Wang Qingzhong went to deal with the dead wolf.
The hunting knife is sharp and can easily peel skin and bones.
The cut wolf meat is used to feed the dogs.
After fighting with the wolves, the four dogs didn't eat anything all night.
When Chen Ling fed them meat, even the two Bobcat dogs were not polite.
A hunting dog that runs through the mountains together is a good companion.
They also regard Chen Ling as one of their own.
Four dogs gathered around him, chewing and eating.
In a few minutes, most of the wolves were in their stomachs.
You can tell whether it is a good hunting dog from here.
A good hunting dog does not love his master.
Not loving the Lord is not being unfaithful.
It is you who can distinguish priorities and distinguish right from wrong.
So good hunting dogs can borrow each other.
For example, some hunters have hunting dogs with cubs at home, which makes it inconvenient for them to go hunting.
I will borrow a hunting dog from the same village.
Take it to the mountains, it is still a good helper.
If you are in love with someone, you have been clingy to people since you were a child, and you can't live without them even when you grow up.
This kind of dog can only be a housekeeper, not a hunting dog. The two Shanmao are indeed very good. After recognizing the two Heiwa, they also know that Chen Ling is a partner, and they behave very docilely.
“What a big appetite. This wolf weighs fifty pounds, and it’s all finished now?”
Wang Qingzhong was extremely surprised when he saw this scene. .
"Not that much. This wolf weighs fifty pounds. If it can produce fifteen pounds of meat, it is considered too much."
Chen Ling shook his head. The wolf produced little meat. He had weighed it specially last time.
Subtract the internal organs, intestines, fur, wolf blood, and wolf head at will, and the meat produced will be pitiful.
Not to mention that he and Wang Qingzhong are not strong in their moves.
The skin was not peeled cleanly, leaving too much meat.
Last night I killed five wolves and shot down one with poisonous arrows, which was more than enough to feed the dogs.
Chen Ling picked another small female wolf, skinned and removed the meat, and continued to feed the dogs.
Bobcat's two dogs finally felt full and lay down outside Bobcat's tent, squinting their eyes and resting.
Hei Wa and Xiao Jin are not full yet.
Chen Ling fed them all the internal organs.
In the end, except for two piles of intestines, everything went into their stomachs.
After feeding the dog, peel off the remaining wolf skin, and the morning is over.
During the period, after Han Ninggui and the others had rested, they asked Wang Qingzhong to take them around the surrounding mountains.
Let’s see if we can take some more photos.
When I came back at noon, Chen Ling and Shan Mao were setting up a barbecue over the fire.
The tender parts of the wolf meat were specially selected and grilled on skewers.
A circle of golden monkeys squatted next to them, slowly nibbling on the fruit and looking at them curiously.
"Hey, the meat is already grilled. The wolf meat smells quite fragrant."
Han Ninggui sniffed.
Chen Ling raised his head and smiled: "It's a pity that all this wolf meat is fed to dogs. Wash your hands, come and eat."
"Haha, okay, it just saves lunch."
Han Ninggui and a few people behind him put down their things and went to the stream to wash.
When I came over after cleaning, I was stunned when I saw the injured little golden monkey following other little monkeys climbing up and down around Heiwa among the monkeys.
"This little guy is getting better very quickly. When he was eating in the morning, he had just gained some strength."
So he and others quickly went forward to check.
I found that the little monkey was in good spirits and had no problems.
He immediately became happy: "Zhong, the medicine passed down from your family is really powerful. If you give it another dose tomorrow, this little monkey will be completely fine."
"Of course. , Azhong’s grandfather was an anti-Japanese hero, can the medicine left by the old man be bad?”
“Really Azhong?”
Wang Qingzhong’s face turned red after hearing this, and he just scratched his head. Hehehe laughed.
I'm a little embarrassed, but also quite proud.
He said honestly: "Actually, my grandfather's comrades passed it on to him. At that time, there were few medical soldiers, and sometimes they only suffered minor injuries and had no time to treat them. They died after a long delay. These medicines But they all regard it as a treasure.”
A middle-aged man next to Han Ninggui was very excited when he saw the effectiveness of the medicine, and wanted to ask if he could pay for it.
After hearing what he said, I was too embarrassed to say it.
"Well, being injured on the battlefield is not a trivial matter. Once you die from an infection, it will be more painful than dying in battle."
Han Ninggui said seriously.
Then he sat down to eat and praised Chen Ling's craftsmanship.
... A meal of roasted wolf meat is not very delicious, but a group of people chatted while eating, and it was very enjoyable.
After eating, it was not enough, so I cut the wolf meat again and cut some thin tree strips to skewer.
Some people skewered and others grilled it. In less than half an hour, more than ten kilograms of wolf meat was grilled.
Two middle-aged men also picked out some wolf kidneys and grilled them on skewers.
Chen Ling used most of the condiment bottle he brought.
It made him gasp in pain.
But seeing that my second uncle also enjoyed the meal, he said nothing and walked aside to apply medicine to the little monkey.
Perhaps it was because the wound felt uncomfortable when he applied the medicine the first two times. When the little monkey saw his posture, he knew it was time to apply the medicine and hurriedly hid behind the mother monkey.
The little guy now has the strength to run, and is much more flexible than when he was nestled in the hat. It wants to climb up the tree, but Chen Ling really has no choice.
I had to put away the ointment and waved to it instead of fruit: "Come on, come on, come here."
The little monkey poked his head behind the female monkey to peek at him and refused to come over. .
The female monkey seemed to understand what Chen Ling was doing at this time, so she forcibly held the little monkey in her arms and carried her to Chen Ling.
After putting it down, the little monkey wanted to run away again, and other little golden monkeys came over to help.
A group of people pinned the wounded man in front of Chen Ling.
Like a group of laughing little dolls.
Han Ninggui and others were watching and couldn't help being attracted. They took out their cameras again and quietly took pictures of the scene.
This situation is rare among wild golden monkeys.
After Chen Ling finished applying the medicine to the little monkey, Han Ninggui was still sighing beside him.
"If this group of golden monkeys hadn't gotten close to you, there really wouldn't have been such a surprising harvest."
After saying this, he suddenly remembered something, "Fugui, I found that the people here, Many people don’t like monkeys.”
“Well, that’s normal. I don’t like monkeys either,”
Chen Ling said.
"You don't like monkeys either? I see you have a lot of fun playing with them."
"Ah, this is not about golden monkeys, but other wild monkeys. Golden monkeys run away when they see people, and they are not annoying."
People here do generally dislike monkeys.
Of course this monkey is not a golden monkey, it is a wild monkey in the mountains.
As for why you don’t like it?
In fact, this also has historical reasons.
Monkeys are primates with very smart brains. They have been with people for a long time and they imitate everything from people. However, they can only learn half of everything. They still have a character that refuses to suffer. If they cause trouble, they are called one. big.
There used to be people who kept monkeys. If they didn’t pay attention to them, the whole house would be turned upside down.
In their place, someone once raised monkeys in Changle Township. They were raised since childhood. They were more obedient and sensible than ordinary monkeys. They would also help people with chores and take care of their children.
Logically speaking, this is good. You can work with less food, which is much better than raising a person.
Who knows, when the couple gave the baby a bath, they let the monkey watch and learn from it. When the couple went to work in the fields, they asked the monkey to help take care of the baby. This monkey is like this I tried to give the baby a bath, but I only knew how to wash it with water, but I didn't know not to use boiling water. As a result, I scalded the baby to death.
It resulted in a human tragedy.
This matter spread far and wide.
The trouble spread to several nearby counties.
Originally, people in the mountains hate these wild monkeys.
After this happened, I couldn’t like her even more.
"Good guy, there is such a thing."
After hearing this, Han Ninggui broke out in cold sweat. Thinking about it, it felt scary.
The young student next to him stood up, stayed far away from the monkeys, and shouted: "Teacher, don't let them touch the gun, don't dare to sleep at night."
Han Ninggui and the others were dumbfounded.
“It’s okay, the golden monkeys are not wild monkeys, they have much better tempers, it’s okay.”
The big and small golden monkeys around had no idea what they were talking about. The big one lay down on the tree again, squinting in the sun, and the small ones were still playing around Heiwa.
But they are indeed different from other monkeys.
Even when they are playing around, they give people the impression of being well-behaved and sensible.
Especially the injured little monkey, who huddled up in a ball and squatted behind Heiwa's butt, concentrating on playing with Heiwa's thick tail.
It doesn’t make people think it is naughty at all.
Wait until the next day to give it good medicine and the group of people pack up and leave.
These golden monkeys, the big one hugged the small one, followed them in the tree for a long time.
When they arrived near Liangkou Village, they stopped far away, facing the rising sun, and shouted softly at them.
"No need to send it off, let's see you next time."
Chen Ling waved his hand, and Heiwa looked at the trees in the distance and barked a few times.
