Chapter 332 Puppy’s First Training
It will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days.
In the twelfth lunar month, it is difficult to find people to work everywhere.
In addition, Wang Lixian's fourth daughter is getting married in the twelfth lunar month of this year, so Chen Ling has to go there a day early.
So if you want to make a kang at home, you have to find someone as soon as possible to make a kang.
After all, the farm here is fine in other seasons, but winter is relatively cold. It would be difficult to live in winter without burning a fire bed.
It is easy to find someone to play the Kang game. There are many people in Chen Wangzhuang who know how to play the Kang game. The two brothers Chen Guoxing and Chen Guowang are close by. My cousin Wang Juying can also do it. Anyone who is free can come, and it is also convenient for people from the same village. Finally, the fire bed is set up, I pay some wages, and I just have a simple meal.
Chen Ling’s family has a fire pit not only in the farm but also in the village.
When it’s time to get another baby, it’s indispensable to have the father-in-law and mother-in-law come over. When it’s cold in winter, this fire kang comes in handy.
Chen Ling’s family invited people to set up a fire bed.
The opposite Wang Chunyuan naturally knew about this immediately.
It is clear that Chen Ling’s wooden bed is valuable.
From time to time, he would pretend to be unintentional and wander around outside the door of Chen Ling's house. Later, when he saw Chen Ling carrying the bed to the farm, he could only watch helplessly. My heart is itching unbearably, but there is nothing I can do.
Now Li Hongqi is gone too.
There was nothing we could do if we didn't leave. It was almost the twelfth lunar month, and Li Hongqi was annoyed by the dogs all day long. In the end, he got scared and had to leave in despair.
If you say you are going home to celebrate the New Year, you are not going home to celebrate the New Year.
Instead, I plan to take advantage of the Chinese New Year period, when people are busy and there are few people coming out in the cold night, to go to other villages to do a big job.
This made Wang Chunyuan extremely greedy, and he wanted to follow him to dig for treasures, but he was afraid that if he followed him rashly, Li Hongqi would trick him.
Although the two of them had become friends in private recently, he knew that this eldest brother was a ruthless person, and he had heard many stories about setting up traps to deceive people. Even if Li Hongqi invited him to join him, Go ahead, he doesn't have the guts either.
And now he wants to find some treasures in the village. Li Hongqi didn't teach him much skills, and he didn't come up with anything by using his own tricks.
The most valuable thing now is Chen Ling's bed.
But he was asked to steal, and he was afraid of the spirit-like dog in Chen Ling's family. Especially when he thought of what Li Hongqi had been through recently, he felt terrified from the bottom of his heart and did not dare to go at all.
I was so entangled, hoping that Li Hongqi would come back soon after the New Year.
Otherwise, he would not be able to find any treasure by himself.
He was struggling in his heart.
The villagers who had been paying attention to Li Hongqi were also in a bad mood.
I was waiting for them to dig up the treasure, but found that Li Hongqi had sneaked away.
I thought this man could not find treasures outside the village, so he took the dishes and sundries collected from their house to sell them.
Everyone of them is very distressed.
In addition, he also disliked Wang Chunyuan more and more, and talked to him one by one when they met.
Wang Chunyuan has never felt that he is so disgusting.
......
The twelfth lunar month is getting closer, and the fire pits at home and on the farm have been set up.
Chen Ling has nothing else important to do.
That day, the sky was gloomy, and the sun was not seen until after nine o'clock in the morning.
Chen Ling walked to the back of the farm, squatted in front of the kennel, opened the cotton curtain in front of the kennel, and barked softly.
A gray-black, round, fat dog like a ball of wool staggered out of it.
These little things have been at home for more than 20 days. Under the care of him and Wang Susu, they drink goat's milk every day and have a warm nest to live in. They all grow very strong.
The largest one is now about thirty centimeters.
When they saw Chen Ling approaching, the little guys swung their heads around, wagging their tails, barking, and acting coquettishly at him.
Hei Wa heard the noise and quickly grabbed the little things' rice bowls.
The little fox appeared out of nowhere and followed Xiao Jin, with its thick furry tail raised and running over with light steps.
“Everyone has come over to feed them. I said I went out to play with them today, so put the rice bowl back and feed them when I get back.”
Chen Ling After touching Hei Wa's big head, Hei Wa wagged his tail and put the rice bowl back.
This big black dog is quite affectionate towards children.
Every time I mentioned feeding the puppy, I would stand close by, holding the food bowl in my mouth, and protecting the puppy's food, for fear that the little fox would come up and snatch the food.
That’s right, these little puppies are slowly growing up, and it’s time to take them out for a walk.
Although he has been fed with spiritual water, he still has to go out to see the cold wind and get some exercise since he was a child. He cannot stay in a warm doghouse and let Hei Wa protect him.
This will eventually become useless.
But I have to say that puppies of this age are really fun and cute.
Chen Ling waved his hands and called softly, and the little fur balls came over humming, swaying their tails, and kept jumping around in front of him. Some of them kept jumping to reach his hand. Some stood up and laid their front legs on his knees, squeezing against him, rubbing and licking them, and they were so intimate.
Chen Ling also welcomes all comers, and from time to time he reaches out to pick up one of them, strokes it, and plays with them.
The little fat dog of this age has a lot of flesh on his body. He feels soft and warm, very comfortable, and he can't put it down.
"Let's go out and play."
After playing for a while, Chen Ling called them out while walking outside.
The brave ones of this group of little ones ran over with their short legs. The timid ones still shook their heads and tails and wanted to retreat. But when they saw their brothers and sisters following them, they couldn't help but want to move forward.
He wanted to go back but couldn't help but move forward, making the whole little fat dog sway and look very cute.
Hei Wa naturally understood what Chen Ling was thinking. This big stupid dog had recently become like a father. When he saw this, he barked at the little guys twice and led the puppy to follow behind Chen Ling. Went out together.
Xiao Jin also followed behind for a while with the little fox.
Looking like that, I originally wanted to play with him, but the mother fox was very afraid of Heiwa and didn’t want the little foxes to come together, so she barked twice from a distance, calling all the little foxes. Went back.
Chen Ling has always been indifferent to this and never forced it, and he would never force the little fox to stay.
Now the leaves of the orchard outside the farm have fallen out and are all bare, the grass has withered and turned yellow, and the movements of the foxes can be seen very clearly.
You can see them playing with Xiao Jin basically every day. The big one and the small one jump around in the grass and play with Xiao Jin. Sometimes they will also harass the little white cow.
The little white cattle chased them in the forest, and they ran and jumped happily. Even if you don't understand animal language, you can tell how happy they are by looking at them.
No one would have thought that even an outsider would be able to play with a cow and a fox, which is really a bit unusual.
...
Out of the orchard, the fields outside are undulating wheat fields. The twelfth lunar month is approaching. Although the wheat seedlings are somewhat wilted from the cold, looking over, they are still full of green.
It’s a pity that the past two days have been gloomy, the sun has not risen, and the weather is relatively cold. Otherwise, in the wheat fields and wheat straw stacks and straw piles in the threshing floor, there would be children running back and forth playing.
However, there were no little children running and playing, but there were other gadgets, such as pheasants. When Chen Ling just led a group of puppies out of the orchard, he saw a large group of them on the slope not far away. Pheasants, it hasn’t snowed yet, and the pheasants still look very plump.
Slender necks, plump bodies, shrinking heads like fat gourds, they are looking for food on the slope in small groups.
It is not easy to catch pheasants at this time.
Now that the field of vision is empty, pheasants fly away when they see people. Even if Heiwa Xiaojin wants to catch them, it is not easy, and they fly away far away.
I want to catch it at night, or when it snows.
Of course, calling Er Baldy up is a piece of cake anytime. But now I am taking my puppy out to play, so I don’t need it yet.
"Ouch, ho, ho, ho."
Chen Ling waved his arms and threw a few pheasants twice with a piece of clay, frightening a few pheasants to fly away in the air. Then they all pricked their ears and looked curious. The little puppies walked into their wheat fields.
“Let’s go, we can’t catch the pheasant, so we won’t catch the pheasant.”
His original idea was to take the puppies for a ride, catch some small prey, and give it to the little girl. Dogs see blood.
After all, they are already two months old. If they see blood earlier and have Hei Bao with them, their hunting instincts can be developed earlier.
Of course, just to see blood.
Now there is no need to rush to fill their mouths and noses with the blood of prey. Small prey are not worth the trouble.
Chen Ling glanced back and forth in his wheat field and saw small mounds of soil rising not far away, so he led Heiwa and a group of puppies there: "Pheasants are not easy to catch. If you dig up a mouse, you will definitely dig it out.”
These small mounds are newly dug soil outside the vole holes. They are like ant nests, but much larger than the ant nests. The mounds are raised. Compared with the normal soil in wheat fields, it is all that kind of fine soil.
Volees do not hibernate in winter. Sometimes they come out of their holes at night to look for food, so they leave the entrance of their holes elsewhere.
Heiwa was nearby, and he quickly found where his real nest was.
Chen Ling looked around and saw that no one was around, so he took out a shovel from the cave and dug into the mouse hole.
The little fat dogs didn’t know what was going on, so they all stood nearby wagging their tails and staring curiously.
Winter wheat has sprouted long ago this season, so no one comes to dig mouse holes in the fields.
Chen Ling didn't mind and was not afraid of hurting his own wheat seedlings. He just dug hard with the shovel.
Within a few minutes of digging, we reached the base camp close to the vole hole, and a plump mouse rushed out of the hole.
Hei Wa reacted very quickly and didn't move much. It seemed that he just stretched out his paw and patted it, then pressed a small thing under his paw.
The little fat dogs were watching with curiosity.
After seeing Hei Wa's actions, he also became interested. They barked and chased the few voles that rushed out after him.
It was the first time for these little things to hunt. They didn’t know it was prey. They just went there for fun. Ten little fat dogs, wagging their tails in twos and threes, chased the voles and were stunned. Two of them got lost.
"Heiwa, teach them to eat."
Seeing this, Chen Ling pointed to the field mouse at Heiwa's feet.
He deliberately let the puppies come out hungry, just to let them eat some raw meat when they were very hungry.
Only when you know that prey can be eaten and used as food can you be motivated to hunt.
This is also an important part of training hunting dogs.
When Hei Wa heard Chen Ling's order, he immediately understood it. He watched the little things chasing the voles and did not bite them to death. Instead, they chased each other and played with each other, teasing the voles.
It barked twice, and when it attracted the attention of the little fat dogs, it lowered its head and caught the mouse under its paws, tore the skin and flesh to pieces, and swallowed the meat in one gulp.
Seeing this, the little fat dogs seemed to understand something. They turned around and waggled their tails excitedly, barking and making excited little milking sounds, chasing after the voles that were exhausted by their play. After catching them easily, they also held each other in their mouths. You bit the head and I bit the tail, tearing them apart.
Their teeth are also very sharp, especially the biggest fat dog, which bit off the mouse's head in one go.
Here we finally see blood. They also imitate Heiwa and bite them, and the blood enters their mouths. At this time, no more teaching is needed, they just grab a few voles from each other and start eating them. .
Seeing this, Chen Ling nodded with satisfaction: This is the advantage of having a big dog. Taking him around is equivalent to teaching by words and deeds.
This trick is not only effective on puppies, but also on big dogs and even those who have been raised as hunting dogs.
An ordinary hunting dog, or a frightened dog with something wrong.
Use a good hunting dog to hunt in the mountains. If you do this several times, an ordinary hunting dog can learn a few tricks from a good hunting dog.
This is called "drag dog" or "drag dog" among hunters.
"Let's go dig the next hole."
Watching a group of fat dogs eating up the mice, Chen Ling waved his hand and led them to the next target.
In the winter fields, the mound of soil at the entrance of the vole hole should not be too conspicuous. Walking near the mound and letting Heiwa take a closer look, there was no reason to escape.
After digging the hole and driving the field mice out this time, Heiwa no longer needs to teach him.
A group of puppies barked and chased the voles that ran out of the hole. Maybe they took them out without eating. They were already very hungry at this time, so this time one of them The field mouse didn't let go either.
After catching it, he pressed it to the ground and devoured it in twos and threes.
One by one, the little things whined and screamed as they ate. They were so fierce.
After all, he is the first generation of wolf-dog seedlings.
Even though they are still young, their teeth are very strong and their hunting instincts are excellent. They were only taught once. After eating vole meat, they understood that this thing is edible and that it is prey.
I even took the initiative to look for them, running around in the wheat field.
It's just that my nose isn't very good yet, so Hei Wa needs help to find the mouse hole.
After digging four or five mouse holes in a row, the ten little fat dogs cooperated more and more tacitly, and their bellies were bulging.
Seeing this, Chen Ling stopped looking for the vole nest and planned to walk around again before going back to eat.
The kang can be lit today, but the TV is still in the living room of the bamboo building in front and has not been moved.
Chen Ling put the fire kang in the wooden building at the back, and it was paved with insulating bluestone. There was also a section of insulating wall between the two rooms, so that the wooden building would not be burned.
I moved the TV together in the afternoon and it was nice to watch TV warmly.
However, when the puppies were taken to the wild for the first time to play, they were very energetic and reluctant to go back. These little things are really interested in everything. They sniff here and there and run away quickly.
With Hei Wa following behind, Chen Ling was not worried and had no choice but to let them run around.
But after a while, a little fat dog howled milkily on the edge of the ditch in the distance, and Heiwa also barked worriedly next to it.
Chen Ling hurried over and took a look and realized what had happened.
"Oh, you are really good at carrying such a little thing. The first time you went out, you got scratched by a mountain fox."
The bottom of the ditch is not something else, but a mountain fox lives there. The cave is covered by dry wormwood bushes. As soon as you get closer, there is a strong scent of wormwood. Perhaps the puppies were curious about the smell, but they didn't expect to be pawed by the mountain fox when they walked over.
Chen Ling bent down and looked into the hole. A big, fat, straw-yellow cat was peeking out with its head stretched out.
Seeing Chen Ling looking inside and hearing the dogs barking outside, it was so frightened that it quickly retracted its head, and at the same time continued to shrink deeper into the hole, letting out waves of threatening low howls. .
Seeing this, Chen Ling picked up a branch and pushed it inside to scare it twice before giving up.
"Forget it, forget it, this mountain fox is not easy to deal with. I can't avenge you..."
I touched the injured puppy and looked at the injury. It didn't hurt the eyes or other key parts. He only received a paw on the forehead.
That’s no problem.
Puppies grow up quickly, their injuries heal, and their fur changes, leaving no scars.
"Come on Hei Wa, stop barking here, you can't catch the things in the hole."
After greeting the angry Heiwa, Chen Ling went home with a little one in his arms and a bunch of little ones behind him.
What he didn’t know at this time was that the grudges between him and the mountain raccoon were still to come.
