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

Chapter 95 Cave
"Brother Weidong, you are so right! In just a short while, we have already killed a green goat."

Shitou, carrying Qingyang and Bingzi on his back, said to Chen Weidong with admiration.

"Uh……"

Chen Weidong smiled. How would he know that there were green goats in Erlonggou?

Originally Chen Weidong brought them here to hunt wild boars, but they ended up hunting a goat instead.
But there is only one green goat at the moment, and not only Chen Weidong is not satisfied, but Shitou and Bingzi are also not satisfied.

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

At this time, the white tiger and the black tiger came over and barked at him.

Chen Weidong took out two pieces of dog food from his bag, broke them into pieces, and fed them to the black tiger and the white tiger respectively.

This is a reward for the dog. Training a dog is like training a person. If you don't feed them, they may slack off later. If you feed them, they will work harder. But don't feed them too much.

Shitou and Bingzi also followed Chen Weidong's example and fed Dahuang and Xiaohei.

After feeding, Black Tiger, White Tiger and Da Huang and Xiao Hei started searching actively in the forest again.

Chen Weidong followed behind with Shitou and Bingzi. At this time, Bingzi and Shitou were obviously more motivated than before.

More than two hours later, the rabbit caught another one, but there was no sign of the wild boar.

Now, it was too late to go back, and it was very dangerous to travel the mountain road at night.
Moreover, Chen Weidong had originally planned to spend the night in Erlonggou and continue hunting in the mountains tomorrow.

So the three of them searched in the jujube forest in front for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Weidong decided to find a suitable place to spend the night in the mountains.

There are also some rules for spending the night in the mountains. Generally, you should choose a sunny and windward slope, especially in cold weather.

So Chen Weidong took the two men and four dogs and walked towards the hillside in front.

"Brother Weidong, there is a cave ahead." Bingzi suddenly pointed in the direction of the hillside and said.

Chen Weidong took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a cave about a hundred meters ahead: "Boy, your eyes are sharper than a dog's nose."

Chen Weidong called the four dogs of Heihu who were leading the way, and then took the four dogs and Bingzi and Shitou carefully approached the cave.

About 40 to 50 meters from the cave,
The dogs didn't bark, which meant there were no wild animals in the cave.

The three of them walked forward again, and at a distance of twenty meters, the interior of the cave appeared in Chen Weidong's sight.

This cave is like a bear cave. The whole cave is not big, about four or five meters deep. You can see the innermost part from the outside.

Moreover, there were no signs of wild animals living in the cave, but there were signs of human beings.
There were a lot of charcoal ashes left by people for roasting fires in the cave. It was probably because the hunters who came to Erlonggou often spent the night here.

Now that there is a cave, Chen Weidong doesn't need to bring Shi Tou and Bing Zi to find a suitable place to set up camp.

This cave is frequently visited, so there is no need to clean it.

Chen Weidong directly asked Shitou and Bingzi to find some dry firewood, and then started to make a fire!
The fire soon rose,

The three of them gathered together, roasting themselves by the fire, with four dogs lying beside them.

Eating solid food.

Drinking water!
Feed the dog again. The dog food he made is very convenient to carry.

Soon it was dark.

The nights in the mountains are not very quiet. From time to time, there are the howling of wild wolves and the strange cries of unknown animals.

In the cave, Chen Weidong and the other two did not feel cold beside the fire. They took turns to keep watch.

Silent all night.

I didn't encounter any fearless prey that dared to come to me.

The next day, around seven or eight o'clock, Chen Weidong and his two companions packed up and continued hunting in Erlonggou.

Around eight or nine o'clock,
Chen Weidong stood on the hill on the north side of Erlonggou and looked down carefully. Suddenly, his face lit up and he said, "Finally, I found a wild boar!"

"What? Brother Weidong found something? There are no wild boars here! I didn't see anything?" Bingzi said, and Shitou nodded:
"Well, I didn't see it either."

"Haha! Look there!" Chen Weidong pointed at a tree and said with a smile.

"What?"

Both of them had a lot of questions in their heads.

"That tree clearly has traces of wild boars rubbing against it, and if you look closely at the bushes over there, you can see traces of wild boars moving around nearby.

"These traces are very fresh, which means that the herd of wild boars did not go far."

It's a pity that it hasn't snowed yet, otherwise we could see the traces of the wild boars clearly.

Chen Weidong stood on the hill on the north side of Erlonggou, looked around for a while, and asked with a smile: "Shitou, Bingzi, where do you think this nest of wild boars is?"

Bingzi thought for a moment and looked down the hillside below him, "It should still be on the top of the sunny slope, right?"

Shitou didn't understand any of this, and as soon as Bingzi finished speaking, he nodded.

Erlonggou runs east-west. Chen Weidong and his team are standing on the hill to the north of Erlonggou. The sunny slope is the hillside under their feet.

If there were any wild boars now, they might be hiding there.

Chen Weidong smiled and nodded, without saying anything else, he untied the dog leash.

At this time, it is not important to guess where the wild boar is hiding. What is the point of bringing a dog?
As long as you know a wild boar is nearby, just let the dog go to look for it.

As soon as Chen Weidong untied the rope, the black tiger immediately jumped out with a cry. The white tiger followed, but soon the white tiger surpassed the black tiger. From this we can see the advantages and disadvantages of the two dogs. The white tiger is faster and more durable.

Black Tiger was actually an old dog. Although he was quite smart, he had not eaten well in the past, which resulted in his physical condition being very poor, and his speed was obviously slower than before.

Shitou and Bingzi saw Chen Weidong untying the dog leash, and they immediately untied the leashes of Dahuang and Xiaohei.

Four dogs rushed down the hillside.

Chen Weidong then calmly pointed to a hillside below him and said with a smile: "I guess the wild boars are hiding in that dustpan nest over there."

"What?"

Bingzi and Shitou said in confusion.

"Haha! Because it's so windy there!"

The temperature in the mountains is over 20 degrees Celsius, and wild boars are not stupid, so they will naturally find a warm place to sleep in the wind."

People say they are as stupid as pigs, which is actually an insult to pigs. Pigs are not stupid at all. On the contrary, wild boars are very smart.

In winter, wild boars know how to avoid the cold and survive the cold winter.

Generally speaking, wild boars will choose to stay on the sunny slopes where the sunlight lasts the longest.

The winnowing basket nest that Chen Weidong mentioned is right at a bend in Erlonggou.

The general direction there is east-west, but it's a little northeast.

That part of the hillside can be hit by the sun immediately, and because it is a hollow, it can be protected from the wind.

Therefore, Chen Weidong speculated that the wild boars might be hiding there.

Of course, the main reason why Chen Weidong found traces of wild boars here is that there are also such wind-sheltered places in other places in Erlonggou, but Chen Weidong didn’t get much when he searched before.

As Chen Weidong guessed, the wild boars were hiding in the dustpan nest, and the barking of the dog woke up the sleeping wild boars. This was a small group of wild boars, about six or seven in number, without any cannon eggs, and they were running around in panic after being frightened by the dog.

In fact, many wild boar groups are composed of sows and piglets, a bunch of old, weak and sick, and they are not as irritable as boars.

They are not that curious. Once there is any disturbance, they will run away immediately and will not stop until they are tired.

At the moment, the largest one is a sow weighing about two or three hundred kilograms, and the rest are smaller sows, such as yellow-haired sows (wild boars about one year old with yellow hair) weighing eighty or ninety kilograms, and spotted wild boars.

Chen Weidong had already loaded his gun and immediately aimed it at the fastest running sow.

"boom!"

With one shot, the big sow's butt was hit directly!

The sow started screaming from being beaten.

But he didn't kill her. The sow just kept running forward with its head down, and Chen Weidong couldn't hit her on the head.

Pull the bolt to eject the bullet from the gun.
"boom!"

The shot missed. It is not easy to shoot while moving, especially in cold weather.

At this time, the screams of the big wild boar attracted the attention of the black tiger and the white tiger.

Compared with the huge old sow, the white tiger weighing less than 100 pounds looks a little petite.

However, the white tiger was not afraid at all. It rushed forward and bit the old sow's neck.

Chen Weidong immediately rushed down with Shitou and Bingzi, and the three did not shoot.

Because at this time, there was chaos at the foot of the hill, with dogs chasing wild boars all running together, and it was easy to hit a dog if you fired a shot randomly.

Dahuang and Heizi were also staring at the two yellow-haired beasts at this time. Heizi pounced on one of the yellow-haired beasts, but was dragged by the wild boar and fell down. Heizi got up from the ground and rushed towards the other yellow-haired beast with Dahuang.

On the other side, the white tiger rushed to the old sow and bit her neck.

After biting, he quickly let go and dodged the old sow's head swing.

Chen Weidong exclaimed inwardly, "Beautiful!"

The wild boar's attack methods are relatively simple. One is a brutal charge, and the other is a head-shake.

Don't underestimate it, it's very powerful.

This head-swinging attack can break a person's legs if not dodged in time, and it can take half the life of a hound if it attacks a hound.

If it's a cannon ball, the fangs will also make a cut on the leg and rip open the dog's stomach, and there's basically no hope of saving it.

The white tiger saw that it had rich experience fighting wild boars, so after biting it, it immediately let go and dodged the wild boar's head swing.

By the time the old sow turned around, the white tiger had already moved behind her.

He took a bite at the sow's hind leg, and this time he didn't let go and held on tightly.

At this time, the black tiger came around from the side and rushed forward, biting the old sow's ear.

The black tiger was also ferocious. After biting the wild boar's ear, it would not let go.

Two dogs, one on the left and one on the right, one in front and one behind, directly controlled an old sow weighing about two or three hundred pounds.

Biting the pig's ears is called hanging pliers in hunting.

If there are two dogs with pliers, one on the left and one on the right, biting the wild boar's ears,

Then the two dogs leaned their bodies against the pig, kicked out their four legs, and clamped the pig's ears tightly. The wild boar was immobilized and basically could not escape. Of course, there was a prerequisite. It was very difficult to immobilize a big wild boar with the help of two dogs.

Chen Weidong didn't care about other wild boars at the moment. This largest wild boar was the most valuable one, so he immediately chased after it.

Sure enough, before he had taken two steps, the old sow had already broken free from the bites of the black tiger and the white tiger.

The old sow ran for a distance and the black tiger suddenly accelerated. The black tiger bit the old sow on her buttocks again. There was a piece of soft meat in the middle of the old sow's buttocks, which was bitten by the black tiger.

The old sow cried out in pain, and the sound was so miserable.

The old sow sat down on the ground in pain, and almost let the black tiger sit on her butt.

Fortunately, Hei Hu gave in in time.

At this time, the white tiger rushed to the old sow again and bit her ear.

The black tiger saw this and decided not to be outdone, so he bit the other ear.

Chen Weidong saw it and laughed. Oh my god, it's the pliers again. It's just right.

The old sow was shot by Chen Weidong, and fought with the black tiger and the white tiger for a long time. She was temporarily suppressed by the two dogs and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Chen Weidong also ran to the old sow and shot her in the head.

The old sow didn't even have time to scream before she fell down and died.

The reason why Chen Weidong used a gun was because the old sow was sitting on the ground, with the black tiger and the white tiger on both sides of her body, and Chen Weidong could attack her either from the front or from the back.

It is difficult to kill someone with a stab from behind.

From the front, there is no guarantee that one stab will kill the person, and it is very dangerous.

If the old sow went crazy and stood up and rushed towards him violently, Chen Weidong would not have time to dodge.

The speed of the brutal collision was very fast and the impact force was very great. Under the brutal collision, the two dogs couldn't stop it at all.

Therefore, at this time, it is safest to shoot the dog in the head with a gun, and you don’t have to worry about hurting the dog.

At this time, Chen Weidong was out of breath. You know, he was wearing a thick cotton jacket and running from the mountain to here. The distance seemed short, but it was very tiring.

"Brother Wei Dong!"

After a while, Shitou came over with the green goat on his back and Bingzi came over with a yellow sweater on his back.

"Brother Weidong, damn, those wild boars ran too fast. Except for this hairy yellow one, all of them ran away."

Bingzi said regretfully,
"If they run away, they run away. No matter how much we fight, we three can't carry them back."

"These two wild boars and the green goat are enough to deal with this!" Chen Weidong took out the knife and handed it to Bingzi, asking, "Bingzi, can you drain the blood, open the stomach, take out the internal organs, and feed them to the dogs?"

"Um, Brother Weidong, I've never done that!" Bingzi was a little overwhelmed holding the knife.

"Brother Weidong, I don't know how to do it either!" Shitou said embarrassedly. He was good at working, but he couldn't kill pigs.

"Watch and learn! If you want to go hunting in the mountains, disemboweling the prey is the most basic thing."

Chen Weidong took the knife. He was disappointed with their performance. His original purpose was to teach them a lesson so that he wouldn't have to do such dirty work in the future.

"Watch this, next time you do it, it's very simple."

Chen Weidong walked up to the old sow and stabbed her in the neck.
After the knife stabbed into the neck, it then slashed downwards, directly cutting open the abdomen and draining the blood.

Bleeding is to prevent the blood from seeping into the meat. Once the prey is dead, if it is not bled out in time, the blood will seep into the meat, and the meat will become fishy and unpalatable.
