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

Chapter 765 Bagua Formation

On the way to the wild boar forest, Wang An and Wang Li did not let the dogs run around. Even when they encountered small animals such as rabbits and pheasants running past them, Wang An and Wang Li did not let the dogs chase them.

It’s mainly about catching small animals. It’s okay to do it once or twice, but if it happens too often, the dogs will develop a habit and will do similar things whenever they go into the mountains.

This is exactly what all hunters are taboo about.

Of course, the seven big dogs, including Dahei and Dahuang, are fine. They generally don’t delay their work after catching the small animals.

The main thing is that Xiao Hei and the four spotted dogs have not yet been completely settled, and they must not develop the habit of catching small animals when entering the mountains.

Because if a dog develops this habit, it will gradually lose its viciousness, and after a few times, it will become a useless dog.

In this way, the brothers Wang An and Wang Li arrived at their destination, the Wild Boar Forest, with almost no delay along the way.

Wang An, who had been inside, got off his horse immediately when he arrived at this place. At the same time, Wang An said to Wang Li:
"Some places here are so densely wooded that we can't get in on horseback. Why don't we just leave the horses outside the woods?"

Wang Li agreed without hesitation:
"Yes, okay, Fourth Brother."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Li also dismounted and tied the horse to a tree with Wang An.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the Oroqen horses are tied up or not after entering the mountains, because this kind of horse is naturally free-range.

As long as you put it in a place, it will find grass to eat nearby. When you go down the mountain, blow a whistle, and it will run to its owner on its own initiative when it hears it.

You should know that the Oroqen people raise horses, and they only go to the nearby mountains to catch the horses when they need them. They usually just leave them alone.

The reason why Wang An wanted to tie up the horse was because the terrain near the wild boar forest was rather complicated, and mainly because there were some family cellars left over from the early years on the outskirts.

Although there are obvious warning signs next to the extinction cellar, such as half-peeled tree bark, or one or two bundles of branches, horses do not recognize those warning signs.

Besides, so many years have passed and many warning signs are long gone, which undoubtedly poses a risk of injuring the horses.

So for the safety of the horse, it is better to tie it up.

After tying up the horses, the two men led the pack of dogs deep into the wild boar forest.

Not long after we entered the woods, Dahei and Xiaohei started talking almost at the same time.

I have to admit that although Xiao Hei, the wolf boy, is sometimes disobedient and always wants to fight for the position of boss, his ability is indeed unquestionable.

The dog, which was less than a year old, had all the abilities of a head dog, and most importantly, it was a head-raising incense.

After the two dogs started barking at the same time, Dahuang, who was smelling something, also started barking.

It was obvious that all three leading dogs had spotted their prey.

Then, the twelve dogs, led by Dahei, ran out barking at the same time.

Seeing this, Wang An and Wang Li immediately ran with their guns.

But soon, the group of dogs disappeared, while Wang An and Wang Li were still running wildly listening to the faint barking of dogs.

This is one of the most damning reasons not to hunt during this season.

When dogs are tracking prey, they run very fast, and people can never catch up with them. However, dogs don’t run in a straight line when chasing prey, and because there is no snow in the mountains, the dogs will not leave any traces on the road they run.

So, dogs run fast and people run slow. If the dog chases its prey for too long or makes too many turns during the tracking process, it will eventually lead to the person chasing the dog easily losing it.

You have to know that in these mountains, if people and dogs cannot communicate with each other, then if they encounter more powerful beasts such as blind bears, lynxes, or big cats, the probability of dogs being injured or even killed will increase infinitely.

If the dog is not by the person's side to keep watch, the probability of the person getting hurt will also increase infinitely.

Of course, in addition to this most shitty point, there are also reasons such as the fur is worthless, the meat is difficult to transport down the mountain, the meat that is transported down the mountain cannot be stored, and so on.

In this way, the 12 dogs led by Dahei quickly arrived at the target location, which was where a small herd of pigs was.

There are only four large sows and more than twenty small wild boars weighing two or three pounds in this herd.

The largest sow weighs about 260 to 270 kilograms, and the smallest sow weighs about 230 to 240 kilograms. They all look the same: they are all very thin.

But this is also the norm for sows in this season.

Because this period of time, which is from April to June every year, is when wild boars reproduce in large numbers, and the sows who are feeding their piglets will definitely not get fat.

By late June, almost all sows have given birth.

Of course, this data is not absolute. It can only be said that it is applicable to more than 95% of wild boars.

With the arrival of the pack of dogs, the four female wild boars panicked instantly, and without caring about their little piglets, they just stood up and ran away.

However, at this point in time, the wild boars normally had not yet left their dens, which resulted in these four wild boars still holding back their urine.

Therefore, the four wild boars did not run very fast at all, and in a blink of an eye they were surrounded by 4 dogs led by Dahei.

Also surrounded by the dogs were the twenty or so small spotted foxes.

The eggs of the big guns are not afraid of hunting dogs, but they are afraid of sow wild boars and small wild boars.

So after the dogs surrounded the pigs, the pigs began to circle around.

When Dahei saw this scene, he immediately started barking, and as Dahei barked, the other dogs began to change positions quickly.

Soon, the 12 dogs changed their positions.

Dahei is next to Xiaohei, to the right of Xiaohei is Huaer, to the right of Huaer are Erhei and Sanhei, to the right of Sanhei is Huasan, to the right of Huasan are Dahuang and Erhuang, to the right of Erhuang is Huasi, to the right of Huasi are Sanhuang and Sihuang, to the right of Sihuang is Huada, and to the right of Huada is Dahei.

To be honest, if you look down from the sky at the formation formed by the dogs, it is obviously a Bagua formation.

Corresponding to them are Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui.

To put it bluntly, the seven big dogs and the little black dog are divided into groups of two, occupying the front, back, left and right positions respectively, while the four most adorable spotted dogs occupy the four corners respectively.

Of course, Dahei definitely doesn't understand anything about the five elements or gossip, but as a dog, he can come up with such a combat power layout, which is really awesome.
