Chapter 269 A rare sight
This badger looks like a little piggy despite its stupid appearance. It is naive and harmless to humans and animals, but it is actually quite ferocious.
Although the ferocity is not as exaggerated as that of wild boars, if you encounter them alone in the wild, you should try to avoid them.
The main reason is that this thing has a bad temper. Once it feels threatened, it will attack people like crazy. Its teeth and claws are extremely powerful. It can bite through a shovel in a hurry. Ordinary people cannot bear it. It all at once.
Ordinary native dogs cannot stop their bites.
When we arrived at Wang Lixian's earthen greenhouse, it was almost noon, and Liu Nier's children had also finished school. They were standing beside the greenhouse one by one, holding bamboo poles and wooden sticks, looking towards the earthen wall outside the shed. .
When they saw Chen Ling coming with the dog, their eyes lit up and they jumped around, surrounding Heiwa and the little yellow dog, waving the sticks in their hands and shouting: "Hit the badger! Beat the badgers.”
“What are you yelling about? Go home and eat.”
Wang Lixian frowned and scolded these monkeys.
Chen Ling didn't care about the commotion of these monkeys. When he walked outside the earth wall and took a look, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Good guy, this badger's hole is so big that even a skinny adult can get in." .”
When you look closer, this badger hole looks straight up and down, like an earthen well, but when you get to the bottom it becomes horizontal.
Moreover, the soil dug out by the badgers in the earthen shed looked like mountains of earth, which showed how big the hole was.
“Well, this is a pig’s badger’s hole. It’s much bigger than a dog’s badger’s hole. Up to twenty or thirty badgers can live in a hole...”
Wang Lixian He spat, opened the pole of the corn field, and pointed to the things inside.
It turns out that there is another mystery here. Under the cover of the lush grass and corn poles, this is a hole that is deeper than the earth shed.
"This hole is horizontal, and the hole on the other side of the shed is vertical..."
Chen Ling took a closer look, and there was a lot of black shit in the grass next to it, "This is the badger's back..." A hole, right? "
Badgers also like to be clean. They will not poop or urinate in the hole where they live. If there is poop or urine, they will poop outside the hole, usually in the back hole.
It's like the huts some people build in their backyards.
This can not only ensure the hygiene of the cave, but also declare the territory to other wild things.
"Yes, it's the back hole. I'll let Heiwa take care of this side later."
Wang Lixian gritted his teeth and said: "This bitch almost collapsed the shed for me, I have to give it to him A lesson."
While the two of them were talking, the little yellow dog became restless, sniffing everywhere, wagging its tail wildly, and wanted to bark, but Heiwa stopped it.
The little yellow dog was watching Chen Ling at the entrance of Badger's Cave as he kept wagging his tail, standing up and squatting down, looking restless.
The badger has a nasty smell that humans can't smell, but dogs can smell it because of their sharp noses.
Therefore, the little yellow dog was restless and wanted to get into the hole immediately and catch the prey.
It's a pity that Chen Ling didn't give orders, and Hei Wa didn't let him act rashly. He just waited anxiously.
"Hei Wa, quickly take your little brother and wait aside. We don't need you now."
Chen Ling was annoyed by the little yellow dog's snoring. , said to Hei Wa.
As long as Heiwa is used for serious purposes, it is still very reliable, especially after it smells the scent of prey, it will not bark randomly.
And at this time, Chen Ling was most obedient to orders. He quickly took the little yellow dog away and stood with Liu Nier and other little kids, watching from a distance.
"Heiba can't get in this hole, and Xiao Jin can't get in, but the little yellow dog can get in, but this guy has never hunted with him before, so it's unreliable. If there are many badgers living in it, it will I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive it for two seconds.”
Chen Ling smacked his lips, the badger is so fierce, those claws dig holes, they can be called excavators in the biological world, they are hard and sharp, unless they are hunting dogs. , otherwise if we meet outside the cave, it’s unclear whether we can beat them or not.
“But look at the soil here and these two big holes. I guess they are not new holes dug recently. I don’t know what the badgers have dug inside. If the holes below are deep and numerous, , It takes a lot of effort to smoke, and I don’t know how long it will last.”
In the past, there were old people in the village who went up the mountain to stop the badgers. In those days, there was a lack of oil and water, and the badgers were plump and rolled in meat. Greedy.
But catching badgers is not easy. If you encounter a badger hole, a new hole is fine. Badgers are afraid of smoke, and smoke can force badgers out. If it is an old hole, badgers have occupied it for a long time, and they don’t know how to dig it out. There are so many burrows, and sometimes there is no movement despite the smoke for an hour or two.
This is something that someone actually tested, and it’s not a lie. I worked hard for a long time and got nothing.
"Yes, that's right."
Wang Lixian nodded and looked at him, "Then what do you think we should do? If there is no good way, let's have lunch first and then have lunch in the afternoon. He can dig this place out, and then we will take care of all the badgers.”
“Brother Xian, don’t worry, I’ve figured out a way, let’s try it first.”< br>
Chen Ling waved his hand to stop Wang Lixian's words, turned around and told Heiwa: "You two, go catch some mice and bring them alive."
After that, he said to Liu Nier and the other little kids. : "Liu Nier goes back to get the kerosene."
"The rest, Heiwa and the others have caught the mouse, you can help carry it."
"I know, Uncle Fugui. ”
As soon as the little kids heard that someone needed their help, they immediately got excited and scattered in all directions.
Wang Lixian can be regarded as an old hunter. After hearing Chen Ling's arrangement, he thought about it carefully and said, "Fugui, you are setting fire to the mouse's hole."
"Hehehe , Brother Xian, you are right, the hole dug by the badger is deep, and there are many holes below, extending in all directions. If it is smoke and water, it is too laborious, and it may not be able to force the badger out. It is better to put this The land is being dug."
Chen Ling clapped his hands and smiled: "The fire mouse saves trouble, and we don't have to exert any effort, and we don't have to let the dog into the hole. I don't believe the badger in the hole. Come out.”
Badgers make nests underground. In order to live comfortably, they like to take hay, cotton and feathers.
Set a fire rat in, that guy, just thinking about it is exciting enough.
Wang Lixian gave a thumbs up: "Okay, this is a great trick."
There are rules in the mountains. There is no hunting in summer and early autumn, because this is the time when wild animals reproduce.
But if wild animals hurt people and enter the village to destroy other people's things, then there is no way to deal with it. At worst, they will be driven away, and at worst, they will be thrown into the soup pot and lose their lives.
Since the earth shed was destroyed and almost dug up and hit someone, Wang Lixian couldn't take too much care.
We can only find a way to force them away and teach them a lesson, otherwise they will not give up such a good hole easily. So when Liu Nier and the others ran back with kerosene bottles, mice and dogs, Chen Ling asked Wang Lixian to go to the earth shed to fill the vertical holes with soil. On this side of the field, there were a group of little kids who poured some kerosene on each of the squeaking mice.
He struck a match and threw it at the mouse. The moment the fire started, Chen Ling shouted, "Let go."
The little kids quickly put the mouse into the hole.
For a while, rats all on fire ran into the hole, squeaking wildly.
Seeing this, all the Piwazi laughed excitedly.
"No wonder my grandfather said that in the past, Uncle Fugui, you were the most mischievous, but we have never played with this fire rat."
"Ahem, I have no other choice, so I did this bad trick Son, please don’t play around in the future. It’s a small matter to get beaten up if there is a fire. But if the mice run around and start a mountain fire, burning the mountains, burning the crops, and burning people to death, it will be a big deal.”< br>
“I know, we know that besides being afraid of water, we people in the mountains are most afraid of fire. If there is a fire, we can’t even run away.”
Chen Ling said to the little kids Then, Wang Lixian also simply filled the vertical entrance of the front cave with earth and stone to block it, then walked over, inserted the shovel into the ground, and waited quietly.
At the same time, Chen Ling repeated what Chen Ling had said before to Liu Nier and others. In short, he repeatedly told them not to think that the fire mouse was fun and just go mess around. There would be no regrets if something happened.
He also told the story of how Ermao’s youngest son went into the mountains to smoke honeycombs last year. Ermao Donkey’s youngest son was also in his early twenties and had just gotten married. Just like that, Ermao Donkey even beat him hard with his belt.
Not to mention these ignorant bears.
Wang Lixian warned and threatened, but Chen Ling's mind had already drifted to the mountains, wondering if he should go to the mountains to dig out some honeycombs and collect some honey in a while?
If that doesn't work, if you don't want it to be troublesome, you can also take out some of the honey produced by the bumblebees in Dongtian.
That honey is a very good thing. Let’s try it first to see if it has any special effects.
Chen Ling was walking like this, and after a while, an anxious and panicked howling sound came from the cave, just like the cry when killing a pig, and Chen Ling's keen sense of smell also smelled it from the cave. There was a trace of smoke. This was not the smell of kerosene burning on mice, but the smell of hay or something being set alight.
“Something’s wrong.”
Chen Ling suddenly heard a noisy sound inside the cave.
Wang Lixian also felt something strange, mainly because Heiwa suddenly stood up and became alert, with fluffy hair on his body and a low roar coming from his mouth, like a black lion.
He immediately felt a little creepy and quickly grabbed Chen Ling's wrist: "Fugui, let's stay away."
"Liu Ni'er, please run away quickly and don't stand around here."
Wang Lixian remembered Hei Wa's serious look when he encountered jackals, wolves and other ferocious beasts last year. Both Wa and Xiao Jin had this scary look.
At this time, they did not look like two dogs, but ferocious beasts with fangs exposed.
Chen Ling first relied on his own instinct and intuition to realize that something was wrong. Now when he saw Hei Wa's appearance, he was a little angry and quickly followed Wang Lixian back.
After retreating for more than ten meters, the two of them led the children and walked diagonally up the earth wall along the newly built earthen greenhouse. The new earthen greenhouse was intact and very strong.
Just when they stood firm, before they had time to say anything, they saw twenty or thirty badgers densely emerging from the badger holes in the corn field, like ants on a hot pot, with sharp and sharp teeth like killing pigs. Howling, he rushed out and fled in all directions.
As soon as he ran out of the cave, he bit the shovel that Wang Lixian had not taken away in time into five, six or seventy-eight pieces and shattered it all over the ground.
These badgers are like crazy, biting everything and everyone they see.
At this time, Hei Wa and the little yellow dog had already rushed towards Hei Wa and the little yellow dog, trying to fight the two dogs. Hei Wa had been guarding outside the cave, and faced the sudden situation, it did not disrupt its calmness. .
It even seized the opportunity and suddenly held down a crazed badger and was about to bite it. Unfortunately, the badgers were furious and besieged it.
Hei Wa had no choice but to bark and retreat with the little yellow dog, while the crazy badgers were still chasing after him.
Fortunately, they were not as fast as the two dogs. After chasing them wildly for a while, they disappeared into the depths of the cornfield.
Only the children and the two adults Chen Ling were left dumbfounded, and it was difficult to recover for a long time.
Oh my God, this is truly an unforgettable scene.
Wang Lixian murmured: "The badger must have been frightened and exploded."
Chen Ling also said in a daze: "What a sin, I won't dare to do such a thing in the future, even if it takes a little effort to dig a hole for them."
He only knew that mice would explode their nests, no Thinking that badgers can do it, they are so crazy that they can bite into several pieces with a shovel. It is really unthinkable for people to stand in front of them.
Wang Lixian shook his head: "It's not your fault. No one expected that there would be so many badgers down here. The hole is so big that it can't be smoked or flooded. It's hard for this thing to withstand Don't be irritable. Even if we dig the hole and don't use the fire rats, they will explode."
"Oh, if you can't help it, it's better if you don't have more."
The two of them said this, and then approached the Badger Cave to take a look. The shovel was too broken to be taken away, and wisps of green smoke slowly came out of the cave. Sure enough, it was the Badger Cave inside. The large accumulation of hay and cotton in the nest was set alight.
"Let's go. After this time, these badgers will definitely not dare to come again."
Wang Lixian looked deep into the corn field and picked up the broken shovel: "This kind of thing is still It’s better to drive to the mountains, but just running to the village will cause a lot of trouble.”
He sighed, and the little kids also calmed down and whispered to each other.
But after this incident, I'm afraid they don't dare to mess around in the wild anymore. It's really scary for wild animals to be frightened and explode.
At this time, because the noise was a bit loud, the badgers were barking like they were killing pigs. Heiwa and the little yellow dog were also barking loudly while avoiding the attack of the badgers.
Many villagers were attracted.
When asked, everyone was shocked. No one had ever heard of badgers blowing up their nests.
When Qi Qi heard that it was a large hole in the ground where twenty or thirty badgers lived, they all ran over to look around, and soon started to discuss it lively.
It was already past noon. Seeing that there were more and more people here, Wang Lixian said a few words and called Chen Ling to go home for dinner. However, Chen Ling did not go. Now he has a child at home. , Wang Lixian did not force him to stay.
On the way back, when I was looking for a cornfield to pee, I suddenly encountered a badger, sneakily eating corn.
Chen Ling was extremely surprised.
"Hey guys, what's going on today, are badgers celebrating the holiday? Why are badgers popping up everywhere?"
