Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 661: Hunting black-haired deer twice a day!

It was early winter, the wind was cold, the sky was blue, thin white clouds were floating, and occasionally a bird flew by...

The sound of dog barking echoed in the forest northwest of Laoniugou. The leader dog, Blue Wolf, led a group of dogs straight to the southwest hillside. They moved in an orderly manner, not in a disorderly manner, with Blue Wolf in front, two yellow dogs behind, and in the middle were Black Wolf, Spotted Wolf and other dogs, forming a long snake formation.

300 meters ahead, on the leeward slope of the mountainside, a group of wild boars were resting in a den surrounded by tree branches. Among them was an old sow weighing more than 200 pounds and four or five yellow-haired pigs weighing half a hundred pounds each. But there was no big egg-digging pig. Presumably, the father of this litter of wild boars had disappeared.

At this moment, the dogs had already stopped making any noise, leaving only the sounds of kicking snow and dog skins scraping against tree branches. The blue wolves and black wolves automatically split into two gangs, and the flower wolves and black wolves split into two gangs again...

After half a year of experience in hunting, the spotted wolf has been dragged out. Although its combat experience is not as good as that of the blue wolf and the black wolf, it is already able to lead the one-eyed wolf and three black dogs to work alone. They rushed to the front of the wild boar's den, and when they were about 60 meters away, they suddenly lay down, crawling forward in the snow and moving their legs backwards.

They crawled forward and hid behind trees, but the long run made them a little tired. The sound of their tongues sticking out and panting was so loud that it disturbed the wild boar resting in its den.

The old sow jumped up in panic when she heard the noise, raised her head and looked around, but she didn't see the invader. The four or five yellow-haired pigs lying around her also raised their heads, but their vigilance was not as high as the old sow's. After all, they were only born more than half a year ago...

At this time, Blue Wolf suddenly led Huadanzi, Huaxiong, Gray Wolf and two yellow dogs towards the pigs. Black Wolf and Flower Wolf could only lead the other dogs to follow. More than 10 dogs ran wildly on the hillside. When the old sow saw the group of vicious dogs attacking her, she immediately jumped up and down in panic. After shouting a few times, she fled towards the top of the mountain.

But the snow on the mountain is not cottony snow, but ice particles. This snow is slippery, not to mention that the old sow's hooves can climb up. Even people wearing shoes can hardly climb the mountain. So when the old sow rushed to the top of the mountain in a hurry, her front hooves slipped and she immediately knelt on the hillside. Her head sank into the snow crust, and then her body of more than 200 kilograms slid down the mountain...

At the foot of the mountain, there were five yellow-haired pigs weighing half a hundred kilograms, which just swept away the group of yellow-haired pigs. The six pigs slid down the hillside in unison.

The blue wolf was obviously stunned when he saw this scene. The other dogs were also looking at the pigs curiously. Only the gray wolf ran two steps up the mountain, then deliberately lay down and slid down on its belly using the snow.

The barking sounds of dogs rang out again, and the three dog heads surrounded the six wild boars in an instant. They circled around and stared at the old sows, while shouting loudly to intimidate them!
Suddenly, the blue wolf rushed towards the sow and went straight to the back mouth. Huadanzi and Huaxiong ran towards the pig's head and grabbed its ears with their mouths. The two yellow dogs didn't know what to do and just bit wherever there was an open space. But Dahuang was very experienced and found the right opportunity to bite the pig's nose!

Black Wolf, Spotted Wolf, One-Eyed and other dogs surrounded the remaining five yellow-haired dogs, but did not attack them easily. These yellow-haired dogs were like young and fearless people, and they even dared to pounce on Blue Wolf, Spotted Egg and other dogs who were biting the sow, trying to push them away.

But how could the black wolf and the spotted wolf give them a chance? They pounced on them when they found an opportunity, but they did not kill them. Instead, they imitated the gray wolf, running and jumping while playing with the yellow-haired wolf's intelligence. The more anxious the yellow-haired wolf was, the louder they barked.

Not far away, Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei had already arrived. Because the snow under their feet was slippery, they wasted a lot of time on the journey.

"There are yellow-haired guys! Brother, don't fight with me this time, just watch me poke them and it will be over!"

Xu Ning smiled and replied, "Okay! Hurry up and kill them all. When we're done, we can light a fire and cook some rice. We can fight again in the afternoon."

They were not worried at all that the wild boars they had caught would fly away. If all six wild boars ran away, the dogs in Xu Ning's hands would no longer be known as the largest dog gang in Qing'an.

Guan Lei pulled out his hatchet and said with a little breath: "Fuck, I'm really out of breath if I don't run in the mountains often. Brother Qiang, leave two for me."

"No problem! Hurry up and fix it, or they will all run away later."

Li Fuqiang was extremely anxious and ran forward holding the spear. Guan Lei held the axe in his left hand and took out the boning knife with his right hand. He followed Li Fuqiang's footsteps and came to the vicinity of the pigs, only more than ten meters away from the yellow-haired boy.

How could Huang Maozi have ever seen such a scene? He was so frightened that he couldn't find a way out. He was surrounded by the dog gang.

Li Fuqiang shouted: "The weeds field..."

The voice echoed in the valley, and the spear in his hand directly stabbed a yellow-haired man to the ground. The tip of the spear pierced straight into the back of the yellow-haired man's neck, and the yellow-haired man fell down without a sound.

Then he pulled out the bloody spear tip and stabbed it into the neck of the yellow-haired guy who was trying to run away...

Guan Lei used a sharp knife to kill the old sow that was trapped by Qinglang and other dogs. When Xu Ning slowly approached, the six wild boars had already fallen to the ground and were lying scattered in a 30-meter radius. The snow under their feet was a mess, with red ice and snow, smelly excrement, and yellow...

"How is it, brother?" Li Fuqiang asked excitedly, turning back.

"This shooting skill... have you been practicing shooting skills secretly again?"

"Haha, I practice when I have nothing to do. Now I can shoot a pheasant with a spear at a distance of 20 meters. Do you believe it?"

"Believe it! You said you are all so fierce now, I am not interested anymore."

Guan Lei inserted his knife into the yellow-haired man's neck to draw blood, then turned around and said, "Brother, you are not needed for simple things like this, but if we want to hunt roe deer, deer, or black bears, we will definitely not be able to do it by ourselves. We won't be able to aim accurately."

"Well, roe deer and deer run fast, but black bears have thick skin and flesh, so it's really hard to stab them with a spear..."

At this time, Wang Hu came hurriedly with four cloth bags on his back. He saw the mess on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Why is it so fast? I was thinking of hitting both ends."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "I didn't even catch a whistle, they finished it right away. Okay, you take a break first, we'll cut it open and feed it to the dogs later, and we'll light a fire to cook some rice. It's almost 11 o'clock now, and we don't have much to eat in the cafeteria this morning."

Li Fuqiang replied, "I really don't eat much. I'm afraid I'll run into some animals in the mountains, or I'll get choked by the wind. I'll definitely get sick when I get home."

Wang Hu asked: "Second brother, can we still have a fight in the afternoon?"

"Sure! We'll feed them half full later, and we'll eat half full as well. Let's run first...if we can still kill some animals in the evening, we'll have some food left."

"What else is there to say? My brother is the one who thought it through. Let's do it!"

Guan Lei said with a smile: "Brother, there is no place to stay here. Let's find a cave to spend the night."

"You believe everything I say. I'm just saying what could happen. Come on, hurry up and get it done. I'll go get some firewood."

"I'll go with you..."

Then, the four of them got busy with their own work. By the time Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang picked up two handfuls of firewood, Wang Hu and Guan Lei had already gutted six pigs. Six lanterns were hanging on the branches not far away.

Wang Hu turned around and asked, "Second brother, how do you feed the dog?"

"Cut the liver into small pieces and feed them a piece of meat this long. They will probably be half full."

Wang Hu nodded, and Li Fuqiang pointed at Erlang and said with a smile: "Brother, look at how Erlang is drooling!"

"This dog is just greedy. The three wolves and the gray wolf are both pretty slippery, but didn't Xu Pao say that slippery dogs can sometimes do great things."

"Not so good. If it wasn't for the gray wolf, I wouldn't have been able to kill those three yellow-haired guys last time."

After the dogs finished eating the liver and meat, they licked their mouths and stared at the wild boar's belly. While Wang Hu and Guan Lei were cooking, Xu Ning hugged Qinglang, Heilang and other dogs and patiently explained to them the reason...

"Brother, the food is ready, let's eat quickly."

Wang Hu said with a smile: "My mother and sister-in-law each brought four boxes of vegetables and four boxes of rice. I was wondering why they were so heavy to carry."

"That's just enough for two meals! Isn't it all burnt?"

"No, I left four boxes of rice and four boxes of vegetables. Didn't you say to eat first? I also grilled some meat, so it should be enough."

"Enough food, hurry up and make some... After that, let's go for a walk in Laohetao. There should be traces of roe deer over there." "Okay, let's leave these six wild boars here?"

"Just pile them together and throw some branches on them. It's cold now and they won't break in a while."

"..."

After walking in the mountains and forests for a whole afternoon, Xu Ning and others did not feel any numbness in their legs and feet. They had run farther in the mountains before than today. In other words, they had practiced it.

After finishing lunch, Xu Ning touched the bellies of the dogs and found that they were not round. He then touched the dogs' heads and muttered a few words.

On the side, Wang Hu had packed up his lunch box, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei had finished smoking, and the four of them worked together to pile the wild boars together and threw a few branches on them. The branches were thrown to tell hunters on other hills that these animals had owners, not to prevent other animals from eating their meat...

They walked towards Laohetao and arrived at Laohetao at exactly 12:. Xu Ning stood halfway up the mountain and looked down, and saw a vast expanse of white snow. The sun was hanging in the sky, and the sunlight shone on the snow, and the reflected light was a bit dazzling.

"Didn't the water level rise here this summer?" Li Fuqiang asked.

Xu Ning said, "It has risen. The big reservoirs over there have been closed. How could this area not have risen? There may be ice under the snow. Let's be careful when we go."

"Hey, I know."

In fact, the water in Laohetao is not deep. The people are just afraid of getting their shoes wet. If their shoes are wet, their feet will be soaked when they get home, and they may easily become necrotic and lose sensation.

“There really is a trace!”

Xu Ning saw the traces of roe deer on the south bank of the river. The traces were not very clear, but what was Xu Ning's look like? That was so experienced!

"When?"

Xu Ning first asked Guan Lei to stop the dogs from coming over and destroying the trail. He squatted down and pinched a handful of snow, sighing, "It just snowed a few days ago. I was wondering why the trail is so obvious. Let's go..."

Before he finished speaking, the black wolf raised its head and howled twice, followed by the spotted wolf, who also started barking. Upon hearing the sound, the green wolf quickly ran out, barking wildly without even raising its head to smell the scent.

"Fuck, why is it starting again?"

"Hurry up and chase him!"

Xu Ning shouted, "Huzi, you better follow behind. Remember to load your gun!"

"okay!"

Wang Hu knew what his role was. He was carrying too many things on his back and could not catch up with the dog gang, so he had to serve as logistics support at the back.

Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei were still chasing the dog gang, this time heading to the northeast of Laoniugou, which is the direction of Shetanggou and Liushugou.

But this time, the gang ran forward for about two miles before they stopped making any noise and started to sneak forward along the Old River. The Flower Wolf was a little curious. He looked at the Black Wolf and saw it staring down at the shadow on the gentle slope, then turned around and looked...

Then I saw two or three deer chewing green leaves under the bushes on the gentle slope.

The Flower Wolf was a little excited and was about to rush forward, but he saw the Green Wolf stealthily step onto the gentle slope. Then the One-Eye Wolf raised his head and immediately hit the branch above his head, making a slight noise.

The two or three deer on the gentle slope were stunned for a moment, and then they turned their heads to stare at the bottom of the mountain, but they saw nothing. Moreover, they were in a downwind position, so they could not smell the scent of the Dog Gang, Xu Ning and others at all.

At this moment, a little deer with a black nose came out from the bushes. It whimpered twice, which immediately attracted the attention of the gray wolf. The dog grinned and drooled, and then ran towards the gentle slope.

Because the noise was so loud, it disturbed a herd of deer that were foraging, and the deer scattered and fled for their lives.

Seeing that their plan had been exposed, Blue Wolf, Black Wolf and other dogs rushed directly up the gentle slope, and the barking sounds of dogs rang out again.

But what is the deer called? Flying on the grass!

No matter how fast and agile the dogs are, they can't match the long legs of deer...

So, by the time the dog gang scurried into the bushes, the herd of deer had disappeared.

However, the blue wolf followed the scent and chased after the gray wolf with the black wolf, the spotted wolf and other dogs. In the process of running away, the blue wolf even found time to kick the gray wolf twice!
When Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei arrived at the bushes on the gentle slope, they saw green leaves and deer tracks on the surface of the snow, and continued to chase to the northeast.

"Brother, can we still catch up? The blue wolf can't escape us, right?"

Xu Ning said: "I can't wait! I should have let the blue wolf eat half full. This dog likes to play the most! Maybe the deer found the dog's help..."

"Brother, if all else fails, just blow the roe deer whistle."

"The whistle is useless. Let's chase them for a while, and then walk slowly when they can't run anymore."

"Okay!"

After chasing for another three miles, there was still no sign of the dog gang, nor was there any sound of dogs barking.

Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei stopped running and started walking quickly. It was not until around 2 o'clock in the afternoon that they heard the barking of dogs again.

"Brother, Qinglang is back."

Xu Ning nodded: "Let's hide here first, maybe they can drive the animals back."

"Got it."

The three of them hid behind a tree. Xu Ning quickly pulled the bolt several times to check whether the spring was stuck, and then loaded a clip of bullets.

Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei had no guns because Xu Laonian and Wang Erli went into the mountains. Although Xu Laonian had a 56 rifle, Wang Erli and Liu Daming both had old jue-barreled rifles, and Lao Jiang also had an old target, so Xu Ning and the other three had only two guns.

It must be said that Xu Ning had no intention of asking Xu Laonian for the old fighter. After all, no matter how good the four of them were at fighting, they were no match for the Dog Gang!
“It’s getting closer…”

The barking of the dogs became louder and louder, so Xu Ning gave a reminder.

Only half a minute later, a group of dogs were seen rushing out from the snow.

Xu Ning was slightly stunned, and then he noticed that there were no Black Wolf, Flower Wolf, or Er Wolf in this group of dogs, only Blue Wolf, Gray Wolf, and One-Eye...

"On the right!" Xu Ning shouted, pointing to the hillside on the right.

Immediately, Li Fuqiang and Guan Lei moved down the hillside at the same time. Xu Ning ran madly and stood under a lime tree. He saw Black Wolf and other dogs chasing two deer!
