Chapter 316 Red Dog

Chapter 310 Seven Red-haired Dog
The two professors have been researching the issue of peach blossom miasma for the past two days, but they still haven't figured it out yet.

Seeing that he was about to turn up the mountain road, Professor Li raised his head regretfully, looked towards the upper reaches of the Dulong River and said, "It's really a pity..."

Professor Ding said: "Old Li, anyway, I will stay in Lijiagou for a long time, and you will come back after the inspection!"

Li Junge said: "Speaking of this, the "Approaching Science" column should be of interest, right? Why don't I call Mr. Zhang of CCTV before returning to the village and ask him if he is interested in filming a program? It’s cracked, and it’s quite comfortable to follow them to eat, play and solve puzzles!”

Lao Li joked: "Hey! Piwa, you know a lot of people! Why is it even related to CCTV?"

Li Junge said: "Hey! There is a big turtle in my Lijiagou. The villagers are superstitious, so they recruited CCTV to film an episode of "Approaching Science" to solve the mystery of the old turtle."

After finishing speaking, he told several people about the legend of the old tuna and the CCTV program vividly, and they laughed so hard that they were rocked.

Uncle Orion also laughed and said: "Don't say it, that teacher Zhang is very good at rectifying, even for a brave person like me, seeing it makes my spine shudder, hahaha!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "The old tuna should wake up, and when we finish our investigation, we should be able to see it when we go back."

A group of people started talking and laughing and turned up the mountain road.

Going up the river valley is a steep slope. After passing the steep slope, passing through a small arrow bamboo forest, there is a claw-shaped mountain range. The position of the group is at the fingertips of the ring fingers.

Walking up the ridge, Uncle Orion and Li Junge began to look for traces of the beast.

Soon, a piece of grass that had been trampled and rolled was found on the sunny slope.

A group of people squatted down, and Uncle Orion said: "Three wild boars went up from here, one male and two females, the male weighed about two hundred catties, and the female weighed a hundred catties. They should have returned to Shushan. Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Weiwei: "Weiwei didn't enjoy himself a few days ago, so I have to be more careful from now on, unexpected wild things will appear at any time."

Walking along the ring finger of the Claw Mountain to a place on the back of the hand, Uncle Orion said, "This is the place where several animal roads meet for the wild animals to go back to the mountain. If you want to install a camera, this is a good location."

Looking around, he came to a thick oak tree and said, "Look, there are traces of wild boars scratching here, why don't you put the camera here?"

Li Junge took off his backpack and installed a video camera on the oak tree.

On the back of Shanzhuzi's hand is a grassy slope, and at the end of the grassy slope is a forest. Outside the forest is a cliff, and it is impossible for wild animals to go up from here.

Uncle Orion called Li Junge over to discuss it, and decided to walk along the forest and along the foot of the cliff to the leeward side.

The animal traces are divided into left and right at the edge of the forest, but there are still more traces going to the leeward side, and the size is relatively large.

Turning around the slope, Uncle Orion led everyone for a while, knelt down and said, "Finally found it."

Weiwei asked curiously: "Uncle Orion, what are you looking for?"

Uncle Orion pointed to several old footprints on the ground with a yellow thorn stick. Li Junge probed over and saw that the footprints on the ground were like dog's paws. The distance between steps was not large, and they should be smaller than Baida.

Uncle Orion said: "Red-haired dog, with luck, we can still pick up meat to eat."

Weiwei asked, "What is a red-haired dog?"

Li Junge said: "It's the jackal, the most dangerous beast in the mountains."

Uncle Orion said: "This red-haired dog is not scary alone. Once in a group, black bears will go around. This thing is omnipotent. Piwa, from tonight, Get food away from the camp."

Li Junge nodded solemnly.

Wei Wei said: "We in the Northeast, the legend of the wolf is amazing, the jackal is not much bigger than the fox, right? Can it be compared with the wolf?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "'The jackal is in power, ask the fox', these two people are not at the same level as the fox, and the wolf jackal, the jackal is still in front of the wolf, the main reason is that this guy's fighting style is too wretched, very me In the Chinese Art of War, soldiers never tire of deceit."

Uncle Orion also laughed and said: "Piwa's words are too reasonable, Weiwei, if you see a jackal alone in the wild, then you have to be careful, usually it is for you to see it on purpose, there are at least three jackals." , hiding to the sides and behind you, and the one that attacks is never the one you see."

Wei Wei smiled and said, "Oh, this guy is so insidious! Well, it's almost like Erpi!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Hey! Don't bring such an extension! Wolves mainly live in grasslands and under forests. Well, to use a metaphor, wolves are a bit like Mongolian cavalry. They like to use light cavalry tactics such as chasing and hanging their tails. Hold it and hold it to death."

"Jackals are a bit like the wretched jungle special forces. They can climb slopes, drill into forests, and even climb small trees. They never go out alone, always attack more and less, never attack the front by force, and always only attack excretory holes, eyes, ears, etc. Lips and other weak points. Anyway, it’s what makes you unhappy, hahahaha!”

Uncle Orion also laughed, and said: "The nature of jackals can be summed up in three words: one is ferocious, there are more males than females in a group of jackals, and when they are not hunting, they will have sex with themselves, often biting each other until bloody, sometimes Sometimes I have to bite off my ears."

"The second is flexibility. A wall three or four meters high and a ditch five or six meters wide are nothing to them!"

"Third, they are vigilant and suspicious. Except for a few calls before the hunting gathering, they are usually quiet; and when there is trouble, they judge that they cannot do it. No matter how tempting they are, they will decisively give up and run away immediately."

Li Junge said: "However, in this mountain, once the jackal group reaches more than ten, they basically walk sideways."

Uncle Orion nodded and said: "Well, I have seen a little black bear cub hunt a roe, but was stunned by a group of jackals and chased into a big tree, not daring to come down, and waited until the jackals were full, and then slowly came down to pick up the scum .”

"However, we mountain runners quite like it, because it likes to eat animal offal. Big prey are often hollowed out, and the meat is kept for us."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the footprints and said, "These footprints are a bit old, which means that they have been lurking on the way back to the mountain for their prey a month in advance, and they are waiting for this period of time for the tooth sacrifice. These ghosts are very shrewd!"

Everyone bypassed the cliff and continued upward along the side ridge of the mountain. Weiwei asked: "This jackal is so fierce? Will it hurt people?"

Uncle Orion smiled and said: "Normally not, generally wild animals with the ability to defend themselves will only strike first when they encounter people after being injured."

"Each jackal group has a jackal king, and all jackals obey the jackal king's command, but this kind of control is compulsive, and the status of the jackal king is always threatened by other male jackals in the group."

Li Junge also interjected: "Only you think, if the jackal king wants to command a group of jackals to hurt people, it must have been hurt before. The jackal group will immediately be replaced by other male jackals, how can we keep the jackal king's position?"

"Only if there is a leader who can continue to be the jackal king after being injured by others, can the jackal group be able to attack people under his leadership. But this possibility is almost non-existent."

"If it's a single jackal, there's no way to compete with others. A yellow thorn stick can handle it, so there's no need to worry."

After finishing speaking, he said with a smile, "Weiwei, in the natural world, there are no animals more cruel than humans. Basically, all animals avoid us."

A group of people nodded silently.

After walking for a while, the cliff disappeared behind him, but the slope was still very steep, entering a vast virgin forest.

The ground is composed of ferns, shrubs, weeds, and mosses. The trees include common tree species such as saponins, mulberry, eucalyptus, and locust trees, as well as relatively rare red tallow, tung tree, sumac, and white tea.

Professor Li was amazed to see it, and said: "This is not a primary forest, it is an economic forest, hahaha, there are so many things that can be sold for money!"

When I came to the edge of the forest, the sound of water began to appear, and there was a deep stream in front of me.

The stream water was clear and flowed through a gully four or five meters deep below the group of people.

On the opposite side is the sunny slope. On the sunny slope grows a strange tree, distributed from the bottom of the stream along the cliff to the top. The height is more than ten meters, and there are no less than thirty or forty trees.

The dark gray bark of the arbor has fallen off from the trunk, similar to the bark of the sycamore tree. The leaves are egg-shaped and pointed, which is not very real from a distance, but there are many small flowers among the green leaves on the tree. Each flower On one side is a small pointed white petal, protecting a small fruit in the middle.

Uncle Orion told everyone to stop, called Weiwei up, and said, "Weiwei, look, there are a few silver chickens parked on the pigeon tree over there."

Sure enough, on the branch between the white flowers and green broad leaves on the opposite side, there were still more than a dozen chickens parked. On top of it was a big chicken with bright red cheeks and legs. The feathers are pure black, the side neck is snow-white, and the back of the wings are pure white with thin V-shaped black stripes. The tail feathers are very developed. There are many more ones, and there are some black streaks near the body, and the whiter it gets towards the tip of the tail, the whole is so beautiful.

In addition to this big one, there are three smaller ones of the same color, and the rest are all brown hens.

Wei Wei was overjoyed, squatted down and started to change the telephoto lens: "Hey, white pheasant, I've caught it! I didn't see one last time, but this time it's a large group!"

This group of white pheasants went to the trees to pluck their feathers to rest and bask in the sun after they were full. They were not afraid of people coming from the opposite side. They seemed to know that it would be difficult for a group of people to pass across the mountain stream. Take a few mouthfuls.Only the big rooster screamed a few times at the beginning when it saw the person coming, as a warning.

The sun was just right, and Wei Wei took a good shot, and the shutter sound kept clicking.

Professor Ding and Professor Li also felt that this scene was rare, so they took a few photos.

It's just that after Professor Ding finished taking the photo, he zoomed in on the photo in the camera frame and couldn't help being surprised: "Dive Tree!"

The sound was a bit loud and echoed in the valley. The white pheasants seemed to be taken aback. The big chicken jumped down the tree a few times, and then the little rooster and hen followed. Under the woods on the opposite bank.

"Professor Ding!" Wei Wei blamed Professor Ding and forgot to glance at it. It took three days to get a valuable shooting opportunity, but the fun was not over yet, and the white pheasant was scared away.

Only then did Professor Ding come to his senses, and couldn't hold back his excitement: "Hey, I'm sorry, Weiwei, a major discovery, a major discovery..."
