Chapter 636 The wolf’s revenge?
“This old boar is really good. He also knows how to protect the pig pen in the village and doesn’t let them eat and drink in the village in vain.”
“It’s quite good. I didn’t do it last time. I was guarding the pig pen at the wheat field and killed an old wolf."
"..."
"Let's not talk about the wild boar, let me talk about the rich family. The dog is so powerful, but he doesn’t seem to be in a hurry, and he didn’t hear the dog barking in the second half of the night.”
"Yes, yes, it's quite strange. In the middle of the night, I only heard the howls of wolves, and not a single bark of dogs. And... the dog from the Fugui family, and the dogs in the village, besides having mud on their feet, they also had mud on their bodies. It doesn’t look like there was a fight.”
In the southwest corner of the village, on the dirt road outside the door of Er Mao Lu’s house, the villagers stood on the slightly dry road after the rain and talked.
Far away.
Chen Ling, Wang Lixian, Chen Dazhi, as well as some young people and Chen Xiaoer who joined in the fun, a large group of people came back with a large group of dogs.
Although Chen Ling understands his two dogs relatively well, he still doesn’t understand animal language, so he still has to go and see them on the spot.
"How are you, Fugui?"
"After reading it, it was the wolf that caused the trouble."
When Chen Ling was called over, it was quite strange why there was not much noise at night. I can only hear the howling of wolves in the mountains, but not the barking of dogs in the village.
After walking around for a while, I discovered that it was the wolf that came down the mountain that had a fight with the old wild boar.
After alarming the two Hei Wa, Hei Wa and Xiao Jin were scared away and there was no fight at all.
Wang Lixian also said at this time: "The wolves have come down the mountain. When Heiwa and Xiaojin come over, they will be scared away... Otherwise, depending on the temper of Heiwa and Xiaojin, they will bite a few to death. It doesn’t make sense.”
The others also echoed.
They have seen with their own eyes how powerful the two big dogs raised by Chen Ling's family are.
When there was a wolf disaster the winter before last, when they were only half a year old, they dared to lead the pack of dogs to chase the wolves, pounce on them and bite them.
Let alone now.
"So, they are running away pretty fast."
"They are running away so fast. I can't figure it out. The mountains are so lively this year, so why can't they have enough food? Why isn't it winter yet? Just start running down the mountain?"
"Yes, this is quite strange. Donkey, tell me, did your Xiaochao see anything else when he was hunting wolves in Laohe Bay that day?"
"No, I didn't see anything. There was that old wolf walking around there."
Wang Wenchao said with a blank look on his face: "Fifth Grandpa, you ask this because you are afraid The wolf came down from the mountain to take revenge?”
"Well, that's what I'm thinking." Wang Laishun frowned.
It’s rare to have a two-year lull. This year’s food harvest is bumper, and there are more prey in the mountains. Why do we encounter wolves running down the mountain?
"Laishun, if you think so, why don't we go to the mountains all day to look for wild fruits and offend those beasts?"
An old man shouted loudly .
It's Wang Laishun's brother Wang Laiyun.
"Hey, that makes sense."
"Well, the wolf really holds a grudge more than anything else. It doesn't say a word when it sees you going to its territory during the day, but it silently harms you at night. .
You can’t even defend yourself.”
“Fourth uncle, do you think so?”
It turned out to be Fourth Grandfather Chen Gannian. This old man has stopped being confused in the past six months, and everyone knows that he knew a lot before.
Not only do they know a lot and have experienced a lot, but their cultural level is also higher than most people in the village. They even worked as a teacher for a while.
“Well, I do think so. Sometimes wolves are quite bad, but sometimes if you don’t mess with them, they won’t mess with you.
There was no reservoir in our village before. At that time, there was a big lake here. We were still young at that time, and there was a big bamboo forest around Laohe Bend...
There lived a wolf there.
There was a wolf. The wolf's den, the big wolf gave birth to four little wolves in total
People in the village knew that wolves lived there, and many people had seen them and walked around them during the day.
The wolf did not go to the village to harm the chickens, ducks and livestock...
No one provoked anyone.
The little wolf grows up very fast, changing his appearance every day.
The big wolf is usually invisible during the day, but the little wolf always crawls out to play.
There was a playful teenage boy in the village who went to play in Laohewan. He saw the wolf cub coming out of the bamboo forest, so he took the wolf cub home.
This is a big deal.
As soon as the big wolf saw that the child was gone, he came to the village every night and barked.
At that time, the houses in each house were very dilapidated. People were poor and had no money to repair their houses. Some families could not even live in their adobe houses... I would hear the wolf howling outside the window at night. Scared, how scary.
People in the village are surprised that this wolf used to be quite peaceful, but now it keeps running into the village at night.
Alas, it's all those cubs' fault. They captured the little wolf cub for fear that the adults would find out and hid it in the vegetable cellar.
But the wolf refused to leave if he couldn't find his child.
Still calling every night.
Those cubs were also scared, so they wanted to throw the little wolf cub out and let him go.
Who knows, by this time it will be too late to throw it out.
Why?
This wolf eats meat. The cubs have to eat meat after they are weaned. It is not okay to feed them leftovers like puppies.
After being locked up in the cellar for a few days, the little thing was probably afraid of being separated from his mother, so he starved to death without eating or drinking.
This frightened the bear cubs, and they quickly threw the lifeless little wolf cubs into the manure pit.
I thought it would stink if I threw it in. The big wolf would never be found again, and the adults in the family didn’t know they had caught the little wolf.
Too.
That night, the big wolf came and barked for half the night.
I really haven’t been here in the next few days.
It’s like knowing that its four children are dead...”
Fourth Grandpa is old after all. After talking for a while, his mouth became dry and he stopped and held his hands. Drinking water from a cup full of tea stains
"What happened next? Then the wolf never came back?"
The villagers didn't respond, but Chen Xiaoer and the others couldn't help it and asked eagerly.
"How is that possible? They have said that wolves hold grudges."
Chen Gannian chuckled: "In just half a month, when the wheat farmers were busy, the wolf took him with him at night. A large group of wolves entered the village. It was hot and people were sleeping outside the house in the middle of the night.
With so many wolves entering the village, the dogs dare not bark.
Quietly, he bit those bears to death and dragged them away. "
"Towed away? Did...eat? "
"They were all bitten to death, so why not just eat them? The remaining bones are in the wheat fields outside the village. "
"This..."
"Oh, don't tell me, those wolves are reasonable. They will take revenge on anyone who offends them. Except for those restless children who were bitten to death, no one else, not even the adults in their family, were hurt. . ”
“…We seemed to have heard some of what my fourth uncle said when we were young. They all said not to mess with the wolf in the mountains, and they also talked about the wolf’s bastard, which was more scary. . ”
Some of the older villagers also started talking.
Chen Xiaoer and the others are still a little confused.
Especially the bosses, who frowned and asked: "Then why didn't you think of driving the wolf away in the first place? Wouldn't it be better if you drove it away."
"Then I don't know why no one was chasing wolves back then. We were still young at that time, so I don't know what the adults thought."
Chen Gannian shook his head, "That's all I'm talking about. Talking about this wolf, sometimes we can’t blame it entirely on the wolf. It’s us people who provoke them without knowing when. The key is that some people have provoked them, such as some bear babies, and they hide it and don’t tell the adults at home. , so that no one knows what happened, something must have happened in the end."
When Wang Laishun heard this, he quickly told everyone: "Ask your children when you go back, but don't let anything like this happen again. . ”
“No, definitely not. It’s only now that the kids dare to go to the mountains. Besides, even if they go to the mountains, they can’t go as far as us.”
“ Yes, yes, they would go for a walk after school at noon, or they would go on Sunday, and Zhenzhen would follow them on Sunday, and they would not be able to run very far.”
"..."
The adults are all talking, you and I are talking, and they are right. The children of this generation in the village are much better than the previous ones.
Mainly because there are so many things to play with.
I can ride a bicycle and go to Chen Ling’s house to watch TV. The dog in Chen Ling’s house is also more fun than the wolf.
Others, the most I can do is beat monkeys, dig out bird's nests, and the most I can do is imitate adults and set traps.
There is really nothing too dangerous. "That's probably the adults' business. When the adults were picking fruits in the mountains, they somehow provoked the wolves, and they ran down the mountain... From now on, you should always bring a gun with you when you go into the mountains. Everyone should bring it with them, and try not to be left alone... ..."
Wang Laishun finally said this.
As for whether this guess is rather hasty, there is nothing wrong with it to protect everyone’s personal safety just in case.
Then he looked at Chen Ling, who had been listening to the story and grooming the dog without saying a word.
"Fugui, what do you think? There are a lot of strange things going on this year. As you said last time, you encountered a lot of strange things alone in the mountains."
Chen Ling just smiled: "I think it's going like this year. The safety point is pretty good, but don’t be too greedy in order to pick more fruits.
It gets dark early in the mountains and you can’t see clearly. Sometimes the place you are walking in is quite deep.
If we provoke a wolf or something, then it’s really possible.”
“Oh, Fugui said the same thing, so let’s be careful in the future, even if we go deeper, we’ll wait for someone. If you have more, make a piece.”
"Yes, yes, yes."
"We can no longer fight over each other. Whoever wins more will earn more in the competition. It's no joke if someone loses his life."
"... ..."
Speaking of which, Chen Ling, Wang Lixian and a few young people who often ran into the mountains knew it was a wolf from the footprints on the other side of Laohe Bend.
Exactly why these wolves came down the mountain is still speculation.
There was no way, the injured male wild boar ran away after someone came out at dawn.
At first it was wandering near the Earth Temple, but as more and more people came, it wandered further and further away.
Otherwise, take a look at what’s going on with it, and you’ll probably gain something new.
Chen Ling has no intention of worrying about this.
Anyway, I have to go to the mountains again in two days.
But Wu Fei’s daughter-in-law and the lesbians from the Journey to the West crew were very entangled.
I have been thinking about what Grandpa Fourth said, saying that wolves are pitiful and bear babies are bad.
Said that if those bear babies hadn’t secretly taken away the little wolf, nothing would have happened later.
Maybe the wolf and the villagers can get along well.
Finally, they discussed with each other whether wolves are evil or humans are evil.
There is no way, some educated people are like this and think too much.
They think too much and they think wrong.
I don’t even think about the social environment at that time. At that time, before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, people were so poor that they often didn’t have enough to eat.
I am so hungry, let alone wolves, I will eat giant pandas when I see them, eat tigers when I see them, and eat whatever I catch.
How can I think about who is good and who is bad?
......
The rain stopped and the thick fog dispersed.
The little sheep came, but it was muddy after the rain and he didn’t drive.
I came here on a bicycle.
Brought Sun Yanhong’s request, saying that when the weather gets cold, all the pots Chen Ling mentioned before can be served.
Hot pot, hanging pot, iron stew pot, it doesn’t matter how many types or variations there are, as long as it’s a soup pot.
After the weather gets cold, the food cools down quickly, so a hot pot is more suitable for winter.
Correspondingly, the demand for various types of game is also gradually increasing.
Among other things, hares, pheasants, and the recently introduced bamboo rats are all relatively popular.
Although bamboo rat is not named after bamboo rat, it is known as wild lamb or special venison.
Otherwise, some people don’t like it, thinking that bamboo rats are also a type of mice and are very unappetizing.
Anyway, Sun Yanhong is very adaptable.
We are already doing very well in game.
"Go to the village and tell me. I'm going to the mountains in the next two days and I don't have time to do anything else."
"Also, these fish, you can come here when the road dries up. Just pull it away.”
After giving instructions to the little sheep, Chen Ling went back to check on the leopard's condition.
A lot of bugs came out again.
But my spirits finally got better.
When he saw Chen Ling coming in with the dog, he shrank in the corner of the cage in fear.
Chen Ling ignored it, fed it another meal of deworming medicine, changed the 'cat litter', and then went to clean up the feces in the animal pen.
Then we pickled salted eggs and selected chili peppers with my mother-in-law and the others.
My father-in-law went out to herd cattle and sheep, and took the children to play around.
There is no need for Chen Ling to take care of anything else.
For example, the pack horses Yu Qian left here and the sika deer he captured were fed by the children in the village after school.
Children like Xiaoma Xiaolu, and they care more about this than Chen Ling himself.
Pigeons are also carried around by two bald men.
Don’t worry about the little white cow and the little green horse.
When I am happy, I follow Wang Cunye to herd cattle and sheep. When I am not interested, I come back and lie down, or I come to Chen Ling to make some noise, take a bubble, and feel my presence.
Except for the wolf coming down the mountain in the village today, Chen Ling and his family were very happy.
Wang Susu can be considered to be pregnant.
When it was warm at noon, Chen Ling washed her hair and cooked a hearty lunch.
He also heated up the roast chicken Zhou Weijun bought from the city and put it out to eat.
“I rarely eat roast chicken. I used to be reluctant to spend money on it, so I could only eat it when I took the train to school.
The roast chicken eaten on the train is the most delicious.
My uncle worked at the train station. When I took the train to Beigan to go to school, he would buy my ticket every time, send me on the train, and give me a roast chicken to eat on the way.
Later, after I started working, I traveled a lot and ate a lot. I even forgot what roast chicken tastes like. "
This is Wu Fei talking. The middle-aged man was holding the chicken stand and chewing it. He was a little choked: "As soon as I ate this roast chicken today, I was completely stunned. My uncle gave it to me back then. The first roast chicken I bought tasted like this. "
"Okay, okay, I didn't drink either. Why am I still drunk? There's so much nonsense. "
Chen Xiaoer picked up the fish with chopsticks for him: "Eat quickly, there are still so many people who want to eat." "
"Hahaha, Brother Fei is also a sweetheart. You two also want to raise dogs, right? I'll have someone bring you two. ”
Chen Ling smiled.
Of course these two people are not here to make a living.
Wang Susu is out of confinement, and she came with her mother-in-law to have a look.
When we arrived, Chen Ling's family had already finished lunch, and he was washing his hair with Wang Susu.
The two of them didn’t mind having leftovers, so they started to have a storm as soon as they sat down.
"Yes, let's catch two. They are the dogs from the Bobcat Brothers dog factory, right?"
"Yes, the second brother is really smart, no wonder everyone praises you for being so smart."
"Go, go, go, Wu Fei said you want to go to the mountains again?"
"Holy crap, yes, Brother Fei, how did you know, I didn't tell anyone."
"I must have said it. You forgot. I heard it at Brother Lixian's house."
Wu Fei's mood had stabilized and he glanced at Chen Ling.
"Oh, yes, I told Bo Ming in the morning, hey, you two, keep quiet. I haven't told Su Su about this yet. She has just given birth and I don't know how to open my mouth. "
Chen Ling said in a low voice.
It is indeed a bit inappropriate for my daughter-in-law to run into the mountains on her own right after her confinement.
But all said and done, things have come to a head and it’s time for him to go to the mountains.
Let's just say that the leopard can't be kept at home for long.
Not to mention that things in the mountains also tug at his heartstrings.
Since leopards are apparently going to be released into the mountains, wouldn’t it be a waste not to take this opportunity to go for a walk in the mountains?
And if the wolves didn’t stop going down the mountain last night, as a member of the village, he would have to go sooner or later.
