Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 690: The Tiger Reappears to Block the Road and Attack
They were already starving when they walked back. The dogs had ropes tied around their necks to prevent them from running around in the snow. The snow on the mountain was a good opportunity to clean the fur of each of the dogs.

Although their stomachs were growling, the three of them were so craving for fun that they even took a detour to Shuangfengling for a wander. However, they didn't see anything to play with and had to return empty-handed.

As they were walking down the mountain along the path, the dog gang suddenly moved. Led by Qinglang, the gang turned their heads and headed towards Xu Ning's crotch. Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu were obviously stunned.

"Brother, what's wrong with them?"

Xu Ning frowned and said, "He must have gotten scared by the smell."

Li Fuqiang continued, "The only thing that can scare them is a big cat, right? Are there any big cats around here?"

After saying that, the three of them raised their guns in unison and looked around vigilantly, but there was no movement at all, which made them a little confused.

"Brother, you and Huzi keep an eye on the dogs. I'll take a walk ahead."

"You better be careful."

Xu Ning walked forward slowly, went straight to the tree in front, turned around and looked into the old forest, and saw a ball of yellow ice under an old elm tree. The yellow ice was very conspicuous in the white snow.

He walked quickly to within two meters of the tree, and when he looked down he saw a trail of people.

"Tiger tracks!"

"What the hell? Tiger tracks..."

Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu led the dogs forward, but the dogs did not dare to move forward and could only hide behind the trees. Among them, the blue wolf, black wolf, spotted wolf, one-eyed wolf and gray wolf were the bravest. They did not hide in the crotch or behind the tree, but stood in front of the two people, squatting in place and staring at Xu Ning quietly.

The two yellow dogs, three black dogs and the spotted bear were much less courageous. They kept running backwards, and even when the dog leashes were stretched straight, they were still unwilling to look back.

This cannot be said to be "Qing'an's No. 1 Dog Gang" in name only. In other words, even wolves would retreat when they smell the tiger, and they might even pee in fear. Why is the tiger the king of the forest and also known as the mountain king? Its name is not given randomly, but earned through its fangs and claws!
If a dog is not afraid of a tiger, there are only three possibilities: one is that the tiger has a dog nanny, two is that the dog has some problems with its brain, and three is that the dog owner's life is threatened by the tiger, so the dog has to protect its owner and chooses to fight the tiger to the death.

The two men dragged the dog gang but did not come closer. They just asked, "Brother, is it the big cat we saw before?"

"The claw marks are similar, it should be that one!"

Wang Hu was surprised and said, "Why is this big cat here instead of staying in the deep mountains? Brother, could it be that it smelled the human scent and got greedy?"

Xu Ning lowered his head to observe the traces and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. We can't tell what happened right now, but we must tell them when we return to the village. Be careful when you go into the mountains."

"Well, second brother, how long has this tiger been on the trail?"

"About two or three days. There are still some pheasant feathers in front. They must be what it ate."

Li Fuqiang said, "Let's go home first? We can go back tomorrow... Brother Jun won't have time to prepare for the wedding tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Go home! We want to chase a big cat in the mountains, but we can't catch one even if we die of exhaustion. Let's wait and see when we meet one."

After the three of them got together, they sent the dog gang into the car, and then Li Fuqiang drove away slowly.

As soon as he got home, Xu Ning told Liu Lizhen and others about his experience of spotting a tiger in the woods on the north side of Shuangfeng Ridge.

Liu Lizhen bluntly told them not to go into the mountains these days. If the three of them wanted to cause trouble, don't blame her for slapping them in the face!

Li Fuqiang smiled and said, "Aunt, you know me. I am the most obedient."

"Brother, you said that as if everyone is not a good kid."

"Hahaha……"

It was still early for dinner, so Xu Ning ate two bites of caozi cake and then went to visit Lao Chang's house with Li Fuqiang.

His main purpose of going to find Chang Danian was to persuade him not to go into the mountains in the near future. In fact, Chang Danian was a stubborn person, but it depended on who persuaded him. After Xu Ning said a few words, Chang Danian nodded and agreed. If it was his daughter and son-in-law, he would have cursed them long ago.

Just as Xu Ning was about to leave, he heard curses coming from the street. He, Li Fuqiang, and Chang Danian looked out the window at the same time and saw Wang Changhai dragging Wang Linhai, and Yang Dong dragging Wang Linhai's nephew...

"Why should I return it to you? You set up the game, and I won the money, so why can't you let me go? Is this how you do things?"

Wang Linhai and Wang Changhai were struggling with each other. Suddenly, Yang Dong was hit by an elbow from Wang Linhai's nephew, who hit Yang Dong's chin and knocked him to the ground.

Yang Dong sat on the ground in a daze, covering his face with his hands and glaring, cursing: "How dare you do that? I'll kill you!"

The nephew was no pushover either. When he heard Yang Dong's harsh words, he decided to go all out and kicked Yang Dong in the head.

"Who do you want to kill? I'll kick you if you show off!"

On the side, Wang Linhai and Wang Changhai, who were arguing with each other, were a little dazed. They looked at each other unconsciously, and then they rushed over to stop their nephew and Yang Dong.

"Don't fight, don't fight! Don't ruin the relationship over such a small amount of money."

Yang Dong was kicked three times on the head. He felt dizzy and his throat seemed to be blocked. He half-knelt on the ground and retched.

"Fuck...fuck, how much did you lose? I lost 168 fucking dollars!"

Wang Changhai advised, "We must be willing to accept defeat if we are willing to accept defeat. We must have good gambling manners."

"Pin Nima, I think you are not someone who can be beaten easily, just wait for me, you bastard..."

Wang Changhai pointed at Yang Dong and said, "Why are you scolding me? I didn't lose any money."

"Stop talking nonsense! Now I realize that you three must have colluded with each other and set up this scam just to get money out of my pocket! Damn it, I'm going to chop you alive! Just wait, don't run away!"

Yang Dong jumped up from the ground with red eyes, and then he saw a big axe for chopping wood standing at the gate of the old Chang's courtyard. He rushed over, grabbed it, turned around and swung it at Wang Linwai's nephew's head. Fortunately, his nephew reacted quickly and dodged, otherwise the axe would have smashed his head.

"Oh my god, are you crazy?"

"I'm going to kill you! You little brat may be young, but you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve. I'm going to chop you up!"

Yang Dong chased after him with a big axe in his hand. His nephew quickly turned around and ran away. Yang Dong chased him closely. Wang Linhai and Wang Changhai slapped their thighs and cursed, "Don't kill anyone! Yang Dong, let's talk it out..."

Yang Dong didn't say a word. Not only was he mad about losing, he was also mad about the three guys.

Where do these words come from?
This has to start from the last time, when Wang Changhai and Yang Dong both lost miserably after playing for money in Nantun all night, so they had a fight in the farmland at the west end of the village. After Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang left, they were both exhausted, so they sat in the snow and chatted for a while. Finally, they clapped their hands and decided to let Wang Linhai and his nephew come to Qing'an Village, and Wang Changhai asked the Chang brothers to accompany them, and the six of them played two rounds of cards happily.

The game lasted from last night until 3:00 this afternoon. Why did it continue until now when it should have ended long ago? It was because Yang Dong lost too much money and wanted to get his money back. After he lost all his money, Wang Changhai pretended to let Wang Linhai and his nephew go first. Yang Dong stared at their expressions and seemed to see something. He pulled Wang Changhai and his nephew and asked them to return the money because Yang Dong thought that Wang Changhai and his nephew had set him up!

"Oh, fuck..."

Yang Dong swung the axe with all his might and hit his nephew's back with it, but there was no bleeding. After all, it was winter and he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket. Besides, the axe for chopping firewood was very blunt and the axe blade was not sharp, but it would still hurt when a blunt object hit a person's back!

The nephew jumped forward, touched his back with his hands behind his back, and shouted, "Are you crazy?"

"You still dare to scold me? I'm going to fuck you for 168 yuan today! I'm going to fuck you to death! Fuck you!"

The more Yang Dong cursed, the more excited he became, and the harder he ran, and he soon reached the west entrance of the village, following his nephew's footsteps.

At this time, Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang also followed. They had no intention of watching the fun because everyone knew that Yang Dong would not kill his nephew. He was just using the axe to scare him.

On the side, Chang Danian panted and cursed: "This little bastard, he used my axe to chop people, isn't this bringing disaster to me!"

Seeing that he couldn't run any longer, Xu Ning said, "Uncle, why don't you ask Yang Dong to give you a new one later? We just happened to be here, why don't you go sit at my house for a while? My dad hasn't had a drink with you in a long time."

Chang Danian said with a smile: "Let's drink it when Yang Jun gets married. I have to go back first, otherwise there will be no one to take care of the children."

"Hey, look at you..."

"Okay, let's drink later. You have to keep an eye on Yang Dong and ask him to return the axe to me."

"I know. Then you can walk back slowly. Don't run. You are already panting after running so far. Do you still want to run in the mountains?"

"Go away. Everyone gets older. When you get to my age, you may not be able to catch up with me."

"That's definitely not going to happen."

After Chang Danian turned around and walked home, Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang stood at the fork in the road and looked towards the west. They saw Yu Kaihe, Niu Baotian, Aunt Bai and others watching the fun. They chatted with them for a while and then hurried back home.

This was originally a very ordinary thing, but Yang Dong was too stubborn, and he was really angry. He picked up the axe and used all his strength to chase Wang Linhai's nephew, and he didn't stop even when he reached the old forest in the south.

Even though he had no strength left, he kept walking while panting and cursing, "Stop, you little bastard!"

"Stop standing there if you're stupid, come here if you dare!"

"Don't run!"

"If you don't run, you're an idiot..."

The two men refused to give in to the other until it got dark. Yang Dong and his nephew looked up and realized that they had actually reached Shuangfeng Ridge!
I looked back again, but I didn't see Wang Linhai and Wang Changhai. These two people were really inhuman. They ran out of energy halfway through, so they found a rock to sit down and chat. After it got dark, Wang Changhai suggested going home to eat first. Wang Linhai nodded and said, "They will be back by themselves soon. Nothing will happen."

The two men returned home, sat on the warm kang and ate a bowl of noodles, but Yang Dong and his nephew, who had already reached Shuangfengling, were confused.

Because there was a pair of bright eyes staring at them in the distance!

Yang Dong bent down and whispered in a low voice, "Hey, come here quickly, there seems to be a wolf in this forest."

"There are no wolves here, stop lying to me..."

"Yes! Look, are there a pair of eyes in the woods?"

The nephew frowned and turned to look. His heart skipped a beat. He said in a deep voice, "Green eyes mean green-skinned people, and yellow eyes mean big cats. This time, we are screwed."

Yang Dong turned his head, and his neck made a creaking sound, as if it was covered with rust. He held the axe tightly and said, "Now is not the time to fight. Come here quickly. You often go to the mountains to hunt animals. What do you think we should do?"

"What should we do? Back away slowly. Whoever runs slower will be unlucky! Oh my god..."

The nephew was about to sprint, but found that Yang Dong had already run five or six meters away. He hurriedly chased after Yang Dong with empty hands.

At this time, the pair of yellow eyes in the woods disappeared, and only a rustling sound was heard in the old forest.

In less than a moment, a large spotted cat blocked Yang Dong's way ten meters in front of him. He and his nephew stopped in a hurry, but also slid forward two meters in the snow.

Yang Dong swallowed his saliva, holding the axe with both hands, and did not dare to move for a moment. The nephew was behind him and said in a deep voice: "Use the axe to chop it."

"Chop your father's basket, why don't you try to chop one? How can there be a big cat here? Have you heard about it?"

The nephew said, "Didn't the Chang brothers catch a big cat in the mountains during the last hunting? Maybe it's the same one... If it's the same one, it will be difficult for us to escape. It has seen blood and smelled human scent, so it must have started eating meat."

Yang Dong didn't look back or say anything. His mood was quite complicated. He felt regretful and helpless, and he wanted to let it all go.

If he hadn't been chasing Wang Linhai's nephew, he wouldn't have come to Shuangfengling, let alone run into the big cat!

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the nephew turned his gaze to the obstacle in front of him. The size of this big cat was exactly the same as the one held by the Chang brothers, so it could be judged that it was the same cat. If it was daytime, you could even see a few not-so-obvious bullet holes on its body.

Yang Dong felt his legs go numb and his hands were almost powerless. He said, "Let's die together."

The nephew was stunned for a moment and cursed: "What's wrong with you? As long as we don't move, it will go away in a while."

"Are you kidding me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big cat in front of him arched its waist, kicked its hind legs and rushed forward, instantly jumping in front of Yang Dong, then opened its big mouth, showing its fangs and wanted to bite Yang Dong's neck.

Yang Dong's legs and feet were numb, but he endured it and swung the axe. However, he swung the axe not at the big cat, but at Wang Linhai's nephew!

"Fuck me!"

The nephew stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief. Just as he was about to dodge, the axe landed on his shoulder. The nephew fell to the ground after being hit by the axe, and Yang Dong's already numb legs and feet could not stand firmly, so he fell directly into the snow.

The big cat swooped down and landed, its front paws just pressing on the nephew's arm, and its fangs deeply embedded in the nephew's neck. With a snap, the nephew's neck was broken, and blood instantly spurted into the big cat's mouth, dyeing the hair around its mouth red.

Yang Dong lay on the ground listening to the harsh chewing sounds, his heart almost jumping out. He silently covered himself with the snow around him, trying to use the snow to cover up his own smell...
