Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 76 Wolf Green "Da Huang"

"Agree, my family agrees, and my wife agrees too." Shi Tou said anxiously.

"Okay, follow me into the mountains! Once we are in the mountains, you must obey me in all actions. You cannot act on your own! Do you accept this?"

Chen Weidong did not refuse. One person could only hunt a dozen small prey in the outskirts. If one wanted to go into the mountains to hunt some big prey, it would not only be too dangerous for one person, but even if one person caught the prey, it would be difficult to transport it back.

Therefore, these days, anyone who goes into the mountains to hunt wild boars or bears usually works in groups of three, four, or even more.

Moreover, Chen Weidong knew Shitou very well. Not only was he strong, but he was also a very simple-minded person. He could do the work of two people and was obedient, so he could be used as a tool.

"Yeah! I'll listen to Brother Weidong." Shi Tou looked honest.

"Since you are following me into the mountains to hunt, I will tell you the rules of hunting with me. When we go into the mountains together, I will decide how to divide the wild animals we kill!"

"That is to say, I will give you as much as I can! If you don't want to, I won't force you. Of course, if you want to, I won't treat you unfairly. If I have a bite of meat, you will have a bite of soup."

Chen Weidong said seriously.

"Brother Weidong, I don't want it. I will follow you into the mountains. I don't know anything yet!"

"It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, as long as you follow the instructions, if you don't understand, you can learn slowly.
But, as long as you follow me into the mountains, I won’t let you work for nothing! If we find anything, you will definitely have a share.”

"Brother Weidong, I really..."

"This is my rule. Don't worry, as long as you obey and work harder, I won't treat you unfairly."

Chen Weidong blocked Shitou's words with one sentence.

"Well, I'll listen to Brother Weidong."

Shitou rubbed his head naively and stopped arguing.

"Let's go! By the way, Shitou, your wolf-blue dog is pretty good. Where did you get it? I remember that this is not the dog you have at home!"

Chen Weidong then noticed the dog in Shitou's hand, and Shitou was also carrying a homemade gun.

It seems that he is well prepared!
Especially the wolf cub that Shitou was leading, it was very young, just over one year old, and its body had just started to grow.

It is about sixty centimeters tall, with strong and powerful limbs, two triangular ears standing upright, and a tail dragging behind it. At first glance, it looks very similar to a wild wolf.

The yellow fur is mixed with gray, which should be gray-yellow, which is the most common color of wolf-blue.

"This is the dog raised by my wife's second uncle. I named it Da Huang. My father came here specially because he knew I was going into the mountains. Brother Weidong, what do you think of this dog?"

Shitou asked.

“Looks okay!”

Chen Weidong nodded, but he could only say that from the skeleton, Da Huang had remained silent until now. From these aspects, he was still a good dog.
And it looks like they have a good foundation, but whether they can go into the mountains to hunt is still a matter of debate. Dogs are like humans. Humans have their own gun tips, and dogs also have their own gun tips.

Moreover, dogs need to be trained from a young age. It is hard to say for a dog like this one that is over one year old and has never been to the mountains.
Now, it is a good opportunity to let Hei Hu take this dog and try to make it alive. Whether it can be dragged out or not will be revealed once we enter the mountain.

If it really works, that would be even better. With an extra good dog, the safety of entering the mountains will be increased.

After entering the mountain, Chen Weidong untied the black tiger's rope and let it move freely.

Shitou followed suit and untied Dahuang's rope.

Heihu looked back at Chen Weidong, then barked twice and ran forward.

As Hei Hu ran, Da Huang followed behind him, running forward along the mountain road. Chen Weidong did this to let Hei Hu drag the dog!

Dog dragging is a term for training hunting dogs. Some people drag dogs, and some dogs drag dogs.

Man-and-dog means hunters take dogs into the mountains and train them how to track prey, how to identify the scent of prey, how to hunt in a circle, etc.

Before the dog goes into the mountains, it cannot be fed full, only half full. Then, after it catches prey, it can be fed a little more. Feed it a little each time it catches prey. Over time, the dog will remember that if it wants to eat meat, it must go into the mountains, and it can eat meat in the mountains.

After entering the mountains, through hunting and eating wild boar meat, roe deer meat, big bear meat, and blind bear meat, you will remember the taste of these prey.

It is troublesome for a person to drag a dog, but it is easiest for a dog to drag another dog.

At this time, Chen Weidong was using the dog-tugging-dog method to train Dahuang.

Heihu is an experienced old dog. With Heihu's guidance, Dahuang will follow his example and quickly learn how to hunt.

Moreover, during the hunting these days, Chen Weidong had already discovered that Hei Hu was a leader dog. The so-called leader dog is actually the dog that can actively search for prey after entering the mountains.

Those dogs that like to follow other dogs and do not look for prey on their own will follow suit when the lead dog attacks. They are helping dogs.

The alpha dog must not only be smart and ferocious, but more importantly, the head dog must be good and travel far.

The scent head refers to the dog's sense of smell and is a term used in hunting. There are good and bad scent heads. The one that can smell far is naturally good.

In addition to the distance of incense heads, there are also lowered incense and raised incense.

"Lowering the head to smell" means that hunting dogs chase their prey by following the footprints left by the prey and the scent left by scraping grass and tree branches.

The hunting dog that raises its head and smells fragrant is the real awesome one.

They raise their heads and smell the scent of prey from the flowing air, and then chase the prey.

Therefore, the head dog of the incense that raises its head is far better than the incense that lowers its head, but the head dog of the incense that raises its head is too rare, and most of them are incense that lowers its head.

Of course, the incense head also has lengths, and whether the dog raises its head or lowers its head to smell is entirely a matter of innate talent and cannot be trained.

As the black tiger ran forward, it would occasionally lower its head to sniff the surrounding grass, and then continue running forward. This shows that the black tiger is a head-down smeller.

Dahuang followed the black tiger closely, sniffing around like the black tiger.

But, it's just a sniff of loneliness.

However, since Dahuang always follows Heihu, he can be called a good helper dog.

There are hundreds of different kinds of people, and there are hundreds of different kinds of dogs.

Some dogs, when they enter the mountains, bark and run around randomly. These dogs are stupid dogs.

There are also dogs that, after entering the mountains, don't bark or run around, but just follow their owners. These are stupid dogs.

There is another kind of dog, which is strong and looks good. It follows the lead dog closely, but when it encounters prey, it will just stand by and bark wildly, and will never go up to bite.

When this kind of dog eats meat, it runs faster than other dogs. It exerts more force than any other dog standing farther away. This kind of dog is called a slippery dog.

Although Dahuang is very young and this is his first time in the mountains, Chen Weidong is still very optimistic about Shitou.

Dahuang's hooves are very strong, larger than those of dogs of similar size. After entering the mountains, he does not run around or bark. Such a dog has the basic qualities of a good hunting dog.
