Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 575 Midnight Silver Wolf
At this moment, the actual combat effectiveness of the new and old gangs of hounds has undergone obvious changes.
The wolf-blooded cubs are all strong and powerful, and their speed advantage is extremely obvious when they are chasing their prey.
Not only is he ruthless, he also has a strong learning ability. In terms of actual combat performance alone, he has already surpassed the old dog gang.
Only one of the three piglets that escaped in front got away, and the other two were caught up by the black tiger, leopard and greedy wolf.
Back then, the yellow-haired wild boar weighed only about 70 or 80 kilograms, and the wolf-blooded dog could easily defeat it in a one-on-one fight, and both were quickly bitten to death.
Speaking of which, in today's hunting battle, the two falcons, one black and one white, turned out to be the least noticeable.
From the moment the gunfire sounded and the battle began, Big Black Eagle and Little White Spear helped chase the wild boar for a while. Once the fleeing wild boar was chased into the woods, they no longer had any chance to set foot.
At the end of the battle, seven of the eight wild boars, big and small, were left in the pigsty, which was definitely a successful hunt.
Three little yellow-haired pigs were captured by hunting dogs. The largest sow was shot at least four or five times and died instantly. The other two that were running together were shot several times each.
The most unlucky one was the young boar Chong Xiaowu, who was seriously injured by two shots from Xiao Tao and then was surrounded and bitten by four old dogs. Even the gun balls under his butt were torn off.
"Are you okay, Xiaowu? That pig just now was really mysterious!!"
Yue Feng passed under the ditch and pond, and did not care about the dead wild boar on the ground, but went to check on his good brother first.
Xiaowu looked ashamed: "It's okay, the boar just brushed past the tree trunk and didn't hit me! I was a little careless, my attention was on the wild boar that ran away at the bottom of the pond, and I didn't pay attention to the pig nest!"
"It's okay. Stop working and calm down! We'll take care of the bleeding and cleaning!"
Xiaowu was not injured, and Yue Feng's heart was finally at ease. He drew out the knife from his waist and went down to the bottom of the ditch.
Xiaowen and Xiaotao also joined the army of bloodletting and disembowelment.
Two falcons, one black and one white, followed the large group and worked for a long time, but they couldn't catch any fire. When they saw their master guillotining a sow, they immediately fell from their heads.
Quack, quack, quack!
"Don't worry, I'll continue to feed you some meat! You did a great job just now, it's just that the forest is too dense!! Big Black Hawk and Little White Spear are both great!"
Yue Feng muttered to himself to boost the confidence of the two eagles. After quickly taking out the internal organs, he neatly cut the lean pork heart meat to feed the eagles.
After the eagles were fed about 60% to 70% full, they jumped onto the snow shell nearby to wipe their beaks. Yue Feng ignored them and moved to the position of another pig to continue busying himself with cutting open and bleeding it.
In about an hour and a half, seven pigs, four large and three small, were all bled, gutted and cooked.
Yue Feng hung the entrails of one of the pigs on a tree branch to worship the mountain god, and stuffed the other entrails back into the pig's stomach after they were completely dried and frozen.
The brothers assembled the sled, loaded the pigs onto it, and dragged the sled back to the camp.
There were seven pigs, including an old sow weighing more than 300 pounds, two young pigs weighing 220 to 230 pounds, one female and one male, a half-grown piglet weighing 110 to 120 pounds, and three little yellow-haired pigs weighing 70 to 80 pounds.
This time, we raided the wild boar's den early in the morning and took away about a thousand kilograms of wild boar meat.
Among these porks, the two-year-old meat and the young yellow-haired meat are both of extremely high quality. The remaining meat comes from only a boar weighing more than 200 kilograms, and the rest are from sows.
The gains from a single battle, if calculated according to the market price, would be worth about 500 yuan.
Four people, four sleds, dragged the prey back to the camp in one trip.
In order to reduce various risks, Yue Feng led everyone to dig a snow pit next to the tent.
The wild boar meat was lined up and piled up, and then more snow was piled on top, forming a small meat mountain.
After taking good care of the morning's harvest, the sun was already high in the sky.
Yue Feng glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was eleven twenty-five.
Everyone was talking and laughing, immersed in the joy of the harvest. They didn't feel hungry while working, but as soon as they stopped, their stomachs started to growl.
"We haven't had a good meal these past two days. We caught a big leopard last night and killed a litter of pigs this morning. Let's have something good to eat today!" Yue Feng waved his hand and said to his brothers.
Xiao Tao came over with a big face licking: "What are you eating, Brother Feng?"
"Let's tear the meat apart and mince it for meatballs at noon! Chop the bones into big chunks and cook them into soup or stew with sauerkraut, and then stick a circle of flower rolls on the edge of the pot!!"
After hearing the cuisine arrangement, everyone was a little overwhelmed.
Although we brothers can all cook at home, when we go out hunting, most of the time we try to save time and effort, and we don’t have much energy and time to prepare fine food.
In the past few days in the mountains, I either ate the two-grain steamed buns with bacon prepared by my family, or I had some corn porridge and pickled vegetables with a little oil. I was used to eating good food at home, and the difference in taste was huge when I got into the mountains.
"It can be done, but it's very time-consuming. After lunch, why don't you go out to try new places?" Xiaowen asked.
Yue Feng waved his hand and said: "With these wild boar meat as a base, our trip is worthwhile. Whatever we catch later will be enough. If we don't get anything else, this will be enough for us to take back!
We didn’t sleep well last night because of the night owl. After we had lunch at noon, we decided not to go out in the afternoon and rested in the camp!
It's freezing cold, if people don't get enough rest, their concentration will drop and problems will easily occur! Let's be more cautious!"
Yue Feng's words were not just casual remarks, but had some truth to them.
For example, Xiaowu was almost bullied by a pig in the morning. This was due to factors that he did not pay attention to, but it was also directly related to the fact that he did not sleep well last night.
Lack of sleep slows down your reaction, making it harder to avoid things that could have been easily avoided, making it more likely for accidents to occur.
This has the same underlying logic as going into the mountains intensively for several consecutive days.
Why did Xiao Tao's father Li Wentong have his ribs broken by a wild boar? It was because he had been in the mountains for a long time and lacked rest, which caused his legs to cramp at critical moments.
Xiaowen: "Then let's get started! The only problem is that the chopping board we brought is a little smaller, so we need to chop the meat slowly!"
Yue Feng: "Just go slow! Let's have a hot and comfortable meal. When we are full, we can all take a rest!!"
……
After reaching a consensus, the brothers quickly got busy.
Xiao Tao took charge of skinning and deboning the little yellow-haired wild boar that had been reserved in advance.
Then the tender pork with alternating fat and lean parts was cut off and given to Xiaowu, who chopped it up bit by bit and then minced it into minced meat.
The bones were deliberately not shaved clean and were chopped into pieces with a small hand axe. The sauerkraut washed with snow water was added and simply cooked in a pot and then boiled with water.
When the sauerkraut and large bones are almost cooked, stick the dough-kneaded flower rolls on the edge of the pot, sprinkle some flour on the chopped meat filling to make it firm, and use the bone soup to fry the meatballs.
When the meatballs are ready, the big bones that were fished out earlier can be chewed.
As soon as the brothers drank the wine, they chewed some meat bones and sipped some wine. Most of the fatigue from working for the whole morning disappeared immediately.
After drinking two ounces of wine, the meat and bones were finished.
Serve each person a large bowl of the meatballs, bone soup and sauerkraut, then pick up a flower roll with yellowish pot crust on the bottom and take a bite of it with relish.
After this series of attacks, I felt so relaxed.
After the brothers finished their lunch, they closed the tent door, lay down on their leather mattresses, and slept for two or three hours.
After the tossing and turning at night and the sleepiness accumulated from working during the day, I soon recovered.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yue Feng woke up from his lunch break, stretched himself and walked out of the tent.
There was no annoying noise during the day, and I didn't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals. I slept comfortably.
Yue Feng glanced at the time and saw that there was still an hour and a half before dark.
It is definitely not appropriate to go out for a stroll during this period. You will have to turn back after walking a short distance.
There was not much wood left in the camp, and according to the plan, they had to stay here for two or three days. Yue Feng simply took a hand axe and a small hand saw and walked towards the larch forest east of the camp.
There are actually certain things to pay attention to when taking wood from the woods.
The best firewood is a dead pine tree that is standing upright.
This thing has low water content and high oil content. It is easy to knock one down neatly, drag it back to the camp, saw it into sections or chop it into pieces, and then burn it for a long time.
Secondly, there are the kinds of trees that fall in the wind.
The trunks of fallen trees are mostly rotten, but the treetops and thick hanging branches are also good firewood.
With a saw or a small hatchet, you can quickly collect a large bundle of firewood.
Yue Feng walked out of the door leisurely, observing everything around him as he walked.
Soon, he found several diseased and dead larch trees.
The tree trunks are as thick as a bowl and can be felled with just a few strokes of the axe.
Yue Feng quickly laid down the trunk, tidied up the branches, cut the trunk into two parts, tied a rope to it, and dragged one of the parts towards the camp.
It took only half an hour to drag a pine tree back to the camp.
Yue Feng cut down several dead pine trees in succession, and it was getting dark.
The other guys also woke up from their sleep and gathered around the small stove, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.
We ate a lot at noon, so no one was hungry even when it got dark. We chatted for a while and didn't heat up dinner until around six o'clock.
There was nothing to do in the old forest, so after eating and drinking, I lay down again soon.
It was very quiet tonight. Not only were there no night owls calling, but there were almost no strange noises as usual at night.
The dense gunfire from hunting wild boars in the morning scared the small animals around the camp.
With both the dog gang and the falcon, these little guys didn't dare to show off, and the smart ones even hid far away early.
I don’t know if it’s because I slept too much in the afternoon, but Yue Feng couldn’t sleep on the wolfskin mattress at night. He tossed and turned, and couldn’t sleep, so he simply got out of bed.
The first shift was Xiaowu's. This guy was sitting next to the stove, hugging his legs and staring blankly.
The fire crackled, and every now and then he stuffed two pieces of wood into the hearth.
Yue Feng moved to the stove and said, "I can't sleep anymore. Why don't you go to bed first? I'll help you for two hours!"
"I wasn't too sleepy either, so that nap I took in the afternoon was very helpful!"
"Then let's talk some bullshit!"
"Okay, where are we going to search tomorrow?
Are you still going to catch sables downstream of Tiaoshitang?" Xiaowu asked hopefully.
Yue Feng pondered for a moment and said, "There must be no sables around the area where I went last time. If I want to catch sables again, I have to go further downstream!
The days are too short now, and we don’t know the road well enough. If we go too far, we won’t be able to get back before dark!”
"Um...how about we pack up the tent tomorrow, drag the tent and some supplies, and go to another campsite?"
If we just tidied up the tents and moved to another place, it wouldn't take much time, but there were so many supplies and harvests in the camp that we couldn't take any risks.
"No, there's so much wild boar meat buried in the snow!
If we leave, what if some wild animals come and cause trouble again? That would be a disaster!"
"Oh, that's right! I didn't expect that there would be a big leopard less than 50 kilometers into the mountains.
If wolves come smelling blood, we won't be able to keep our wild boar meat!"
The two brothers were talking when suddenly Canglong barked a few times outside the tent.
Yue Feng immediately fell silent, moved to the observation post and looked outside.
The moon was quite big today, and the silhouettes of the trees in the snow could be clearly seen. But after scanning the surroundings, no suspicious targets were found.
"Canglong, shut up! Don't scream for no reason!"
Yue Feng shouted in a low voice, and Canglong's ears, which had been standing upright a second ago, instantly turned into airplane ears and lay there without making any sound.
Xiaowu also came over, and the two of them looked around the room for at least five minutes, but didn't see anything unusual.
"It's probably some kind of raccoon or something like that, attracted by the smell of blood, and wandering around outside the camp!
"Close the observation hole. There's only so much warmth in the tent. If we leave it out for a while longer, they'll wake up from the cold!" Yue Feng said in a low voice.
"Well, eight dogs are tied outside. Even if a wolf pack comes, we have to think twice!
I feel that our four puppies work more efficiently than the old dogs!
Not only is he sharp-tongued, but he's also big, but not fat, and he runs fast. A dog can easily knock down a pig weighing over 100 kilograms!"
The progress of the four Canglong brothers is indeed very obvious, and Yue Feng also feels it.
For nearly a year, his staple food was all kinds of meat and offal. He even ate tiger meat, so his body was very solid.
It is difficult for an ordinary family to raise one. Yue Feng finally managed to raise one and was able to go into the mountains to work. It is also the harvest season.
After the observation port was reopened, the sneaky silver she-wolf came back after making a small circle at the outskirts of the camp in the distance.
Compared to the last time the Yuefeng hunting team entered the mountains, the silver female wolf's limp was obviously much more agile this time, and it was almost unnoticeable when she was jogging.
During this period, it has been moving around near a dustpan-shaped path behind the farm on Yuefeng Mountain, feeding on small animals such as rabbits and pheasants. Its life is pretty comfortable, but it has no companions and feels a little lonely.
When the wolf-blooded dog is not working, it is always managed by Uncle Zhao at the farm on the mountain.
In addition to taking care of the various livestock on the farm every day, Uncle Zhao would take his eagle and dog for a stroll in the back mountain when he had nothing to do.
The four wolf-blooded dogs are already over one year old and have officially become adults. It is common for them to mark their chassis and urinate on them wherever they go.
Especially the head dog Canglong, who urinated in several ditches and ponds near the farm as his own territory.
If it were other animals, their first reaction after sensing the smell would be fear.
But this little female wolf was different. It could smell the extremely strong scent of a male of its own species.
Wolf packs in the wild have a strict hierarchy. After obtaining food, the alpha wolf eats first, so that it can develop a relatively strong physique. Other wolf pack members of lower status are much thinner.
As wolf cubs grow up, they cannot guarantee sufficient food supply in most cases.
This causes them to be easily deficient during critical stages of their growth and development, affecting their final adult size and ultimate combat effectiveness.
In comparison, after the four Canglong brothers came into Yue Feng's hands, their lives were much better than those of the wolf cubs in the wild.
Various cannon roe meat, wild boar offal, etc., basically you will be given as much as you eat.
The foundation has been laid well. Some indicators in the urine of the four wolf-blood cubs, led by Canglong, are very outstanding when they grow up.
The last time we went into the mountains, it was the odor indicators in the urine that attracted the lonely little female wolf. After going around in circles, the little female wolf followed Yue Feng's dog gang and came to the vicinity of the camp.
Compared to the little thoughts of this silver female wolf king, Canglong, who has just reached adulthood and is just over one year old, has a much simpler mind.
It and its fellow dogs followed their master into the mountains for hunting.
Except for their own people, all the wild animals on the mountain are prey.
There was a female wolf lingering outside in the middle of the night. The honest Canglong was the first to discover it and immediately sounded the alarm by barking.
When the female wolf outside saw that there was no movement in the camp, she crawled on the snow and quietly moved forward ten meters or so. She was now less than fifty meters away from the camp.
Hum~~~Chi~~~
The little female wolf made a sound similar to that of acting coquettishly in her throat, and her tail drooped and swayed constantly, as if fanning the wind to spread her scent as far as possible.
The little female wolf's idea was very simple. There were no other of its kind within a radius of at least dozens of kilometers around it. If it wanted to restore the tribe's former glory, it had to find a new source of blood.
The wolf-blooded hounds tied up in the human camp are its best choice.
The smell in Canglong's urine has already allowed the female wolf king to obtain a lot of information.
Even if we can't recruit new friends, we can get closer to them. When things get warmer, we can find a chance to borrow some seeds, and then we can make the wolf pack prosperous again.
Canglong, this straight man, didn't care about those little thoughts. Seeing the silver female wolf coming again, he immediately stood up and barked loudly at her again.
Yue Feng knows his dog very well. If it keeps barking when it is forbidden, there must be something wrong.
Yue Feng hurriedly lifted the two curtains of the tent.
In the distance, I saw a silver shadow fleeing quickly and disappearing outside in the blink of an eye.
Soon, Xiaowu came out with a gun.
"Brother, what is it?"
"Fuck! I didn't see clearly what it was, it looked like a silver-white wolf!!"
"Silver wolf? Do wolves have this color?" Xiaowu scratched his head, a little confused.
Before, Yue Feng and Uncle Zhao almost wiped out an entire wolf pack, and not even the leader of the pack escaped.
Among so many wolf skins, there are old wolves and young and middle-aged ones. The quality of the skins and hair may vary, but I haven’t seen any wolf with silver skins!
Yue Feng stared at the direction where the mother wolf ran away, and after a few seconds he said, "Take the headlamp and follow me to check the footprints!"
"profound!"
Soon, the two brothers took their headlamps and guns, and chased in the direction where the female wolf had just escaped, one in front and one behind.
The traces of the wolf's running were very clear on the snow. Yue Feng shone the flashlight on them, examined them carefully for a while, and then looked up.
"It must be a wolf! The footprints it left behind are longer and its stride is slightly longer than that of an ordinary dog!
Then there is the claw tip, which is more gathered together, and the contact point of the pad is deeper!"
"Fuck! How dare a lone wolf to survey our camp? Isn't it afraid of getting closer and getting torn apart by the dogs?"
Xiaowu found it a little hard to believe. Although wolves were cunning, a lone wolf had no chance of winning against a gang of eight hounds.
To put it in an exaggerated way, with the size and physical fitness of the four Canglong brothers, any one of them would have no problem fighting off a strong adult male wolf.
“If I’m not mistaken, this wolf was already active nearby when we came here last time!
Look at this hind leg footprint, isn’t it slightly lighter than the others?
The last time I came, there was some movement in the middle of the night. I went out to see it the next morning, and I was almost afraid to put any force on my leg!
I guess this must be a wounded lone wolf, and I don’t know if it was attracted by the smell of blood or the smell of the dog gang! "
Xiaowu scratched his head after hearing this: "Our camp is only a few kilometers away from the big leopard. How dare this lone wolf survive in the leopard's territory?"
Yue Feng also looked puzzled: "I'm not sure about this, logically speaking it shouldn't dare to do that!
If a leopard bullies a lone wolf, it is almost like a lynx bullying a hunting dog, and the fight can end in one round!
If you encounter it, you can't run away even if you want to!"
"Then what should we do? Tomorrow during the day, let's take the dog and follow the wolf's trail?
Silver-white wolf skin is not common, maybe it is worth a lot of money at Jun's place!"
Yue Feng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Silver-white is not pure white, and it could also be the reflected light from the moon.
Even if it is really silver-white, this thing is not among the mainstream precious leathers, so it is unclear whether it is valuable.
I don't plan to chase it. Even if I finally catch it, it may not be worth much. It would be a waste of our day!
Since it's moving around, we'll have to leave two dogs to guard the house when we set out tomorrow!
Let Heilang and Xiaohua stay at home to look after the house, and we can take the six dogs with us when we go out!"
"Alright! I'll just ignore it as you say! We've chased it out, so it won't dare to come back and show off again!"
Xiaowu was right about this. At this moment, the female wolf king was so scared that she ran wildly, crossing two ridges in succession before slowing down.
It's not that it's afraid of people, but the smell of gunpowder emanating from the muzzle of the gun is too vivid in its memory.
With just a few thunderous explosions, his wolf pack was slaughtered at a long distance, and the scratches on his hind legs were also caused by gunshot.
No matter how important my lover is, he is not as important as my life. I dare not take the risk of getting close to him again.
For the rest of the night, everything was peaceful in the camp until daybreak when Yue Feng prepared breakfast and woke up the team members.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they left two dogs behind to guard the house while the others left the camp again and headed for the mountains and forests farther away.
Today, they didn't scout the area in advance to determine their hunting targets, and they didn't know what kind of harvest was waiting for them. (End of this chapter)
