Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 14 Buying a Dog
The three of them were preparing to leave. At this time, Wang An felt very thirsty. He had eaten fifteen or six steamed buns. It would be strange if he was not thirsty!

I thought about it for a long time and felt that something had almost happened. I looked around and saw the sacks on the car before I remembered!

I forgot to drink the soda. This happened every day. Just now when Mu Xueqing reminded me to buy steamed buns, I still felt bad! Why do I feel worse now? !

Thinking of this, Wang An quickly opened the sack, untied the hemp rope that bound the soda, and took out a bottle of soda. Before entering the fence in his previous life, he drank a lot of soda, cola, and beer in glass bottles, and he habitually had to use his teeth to drink it. Knock it open and reach your mouth. It doesn’t feel good! Then put the bottle cap on the corner of the car's wooden board, apply a slight downward force, and the bottle cap will come off!
He handed it to Liu Ruxin first and said apologetically: "Aunt, you must be thirsty. Drink soda. I forgot about it when I ate steamed buns just now!"

Just as Liu Ruxin was about to refuse, she saw that Wang An had already lowered his head and took another bottle from the sack with his left hand. Then he took it and took a sip. His expression seemed to be enjoying it!
Wang An opened this bottle directly with his mouth. Well, he still felt that it was very powerful to open the bottle like this!
He handed it directly to Mu Xueqing's hand and touched Mu Xueqing's hand by the way! This feeling, although a bit rough, is very soft! But I feel happy in my heart!
Mu Xueqing turned around and took a peek at Liu Ruxin, who was still sipping the soda. She didn't seem to be paying attention, and then gave Wang An a white look with a red face!
Wang An then opened a bottle of soda for himself. Guga's was just one meal, and one bottle was gone in a few seconds. It felt just like that. Sugar water with some soda was still cold! I don’t know what the two girls are wearing! But it’s quite thirst-quenching! !

"Let's go, take a seat," Wang An shouted, driving the car through the middle of the market.

As they were about to leave the market, Wang An noticed that there was an extra stall where he had just set up a stall. The owner of the stall was a woman about 30 years old. She was not shouting or selling, but there was a basket in front and three black cats squatting next to it. dog,
They are all very tall, and each dog has large and small scars on its body, as well as new scabs! Looking at Wang An casually, I feel that he is very fierce, giving people the feeling that he is about to bite (bite) him at any time!

Wang An concluded that these three dogs were definitely used for hunting in the mountains, mainly because they were too similar to the hunting dogs raised by a few hunters in the same village! Because hunting dogs don’t take anyone’s leisure! After all, he was dragged out (trained) little by little. He is obedient, sensible, and never barks!
Although he didn’t know how to judge the good intentions of dogs, the scars on these three dogs could explain the problem, and Wang An was immediately interested! I have long thought about buying a good hunting dog! Stop the mule with a "hush" sound and walk forward.

"Sister, are these three dogs for sale?"

Seeing someone coming to ask, the woman seemed very happy. She pointed to the basket and said, "Brother, it's not three, it's five. All five are for sale!" Then she opened the curtain of urala grass in the basket.

Only then did Wang An realize that he seemed to be in trouble!
When I lowered my head, I saw five puppies huddled together in the basket. I stretched out my hands, and the five puppies screamed in protest. They were so fierce!

There is only one pure black one with a slightly larger body, and the remaining four are all black and white, which is pleasing to the eye and quite lovable!
But I don’t know how to drag a dog with this thing, so there’s no point in buying it!

"Sister, let's talk about these five small ones later. I'm wondering if you can sell the three big ones?"

When the woman heard this, she seemed a little embarrassed and said, "It's a sale, but I'm just waiting here for that person to take these three dogs!"

When Wang An heard this, he thought there was a way, but said: "They are all sold!" with a regretful expression.
Then he added: "How much did it cost? I think these three dogs are pretty good!"

The woman didn't hide anything: "It sold for 150! My man said that the biggest dog is the alpha dog, and the two smaller ones obey him!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "My man also said that our head dog should have a nice head, otherwise it wouldn't be worth so much money!" These days, a head dog normally costs about 60 yuan, and you can buy a dog for more than 20 yuan! Three dogs are normally 100 yuan! This 150 yuan is quite expensive.
Moreover, hunters who specialize in hunting in the mountains rarely sell hunting dogs, because the elimination rate of hunting dogs is very fast. If you are unlucky and encounter a big paw or a native leopard, all the dogs will be lost! !

Normally, a dog gang has 4 to 6 dogs. 4 is the minimum requirement, otherwise it will be impossible to locate prey! Most hunters keep 1 to 3 dogs. It’s not that they don’t want to keep more dogs, but they simply can’t afford them! A hunting dog eats about as much as a pig! It’s very edible! Among all hunters, only those who can be called gunners or rich people with certain financial strength and ability can raise a dog gang on their own! !

When hunting with dogs, the dogs of two or three hunters join together, and after hunting the prey, the participating hunters are divided according to shares!
Wang Andao: "It seems that your eldest brother is also a mountaineer! Then why did you sell the dog? Don't you feel bad?"

"Hey! Didn't you go into the mountain to dig out the black man's warehouse? The bullet misfired, and the black man ran out, bitten his legs, scratched his body to pieces, and two dogs died! Hey!" the woman sighed.

Wang An couldn't help but feel sad after hearing this! I can't help but think of those three animals that almost killed me! ! They are both mountaineers! !
Then the woman continued: "These five puppies are almost two months old. My man said that the little black dog can also be a leader."

Wang Anxin thought: "What do you mean by a man? How can you be so sure! It's not your man who loses if you can't get the first dog out! Besides, I don't know your man, and he never taught me how to drag a dog!"

Wang An suddenly thought of what the hunters in the village said when chatting about dogs looking after dogs!

It is very easy to replace a mature hunting dog with a new one. There is no need for the hunter to take care of it at all. When the puppies are half old, they only need to follow a leader dog and a helper dog into the mountains, and then don't worry about anything else. The puppies will slowly learn to find prey on their own. And the prey is fixed! !

Thinking of this, Wang An asked: "Sister, how do you want to sell these five puppies?

"My man said, this is a hunting dog. Although it is smaller, one costs at least 5 yuan," the woman said quickly.
Wang An seems to know this stall, but why no one cares about it! Wang An thought that these five puppies would be worth a total of five or eight yuan if sold for them! !
In the Northeast, after puppies are born, they are given away for free because they cannot afford to raise them. Even if they are given away for free, not many people want them. The reason is simple: it is a waste of food! !
In this day and age, food is so precious! There is not enough food for everyone! !

Raise a few hens with this grain, whether you sell the eggs to exchange for needles, thread, or eat eggs to gain some nutrition, it’s still better than raising dogs! People today are so malnourished! !
Eggs at this time were hard currency in rural areas! Some people are sick, some are in confinement, they are used to give gifts and so on, but they are the best things! !
And these five puppies, less than two months old, cost 5 yuan each! ! Who cares whether you are a hunting dog or what kind of dog! As long as the big stupid dog from Northeast China is dragged out, it will be called a hunting dog! !

There are only a few hunters in one village! Even for hunters who are really in need of dogs, the rich ones will buy them as dogs and then lead them to the mountains to try them out! If it’s not good, I’ll send it right back to you!
Even those who have no money, most of them are hunters who are familiar with them. They want the puppies from hunting dogs, take them back and drag them out slowly!
Spend money to buy it, what a joke! Give it away for nothing. If the person who takes over doesn't know how to hunt, he has to think carefully about whether he can withstand the fingernails of the old lady at home! !
Wang An didn't want to talk to this woman anymore, everything about her family was good! All dogs are valuable! !
