Chapter 688 The Unique Wolverine

This wild wolf died of excessive bleeding after being trapped in a trap. After a night of freezing, the wolf corpse had become hard. Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei laughed as they took the dead wolf out of the trap. Get it out.

"Cong Fei, let's carry the wolf to the shack and handle it later. We'll sit by the fire and eat meat while waiting for the tiger to take the bait."

"Brother Niu means we won't go hunting?"

"With this bear trap, we can still ambush the tiger, but if we go out and encounter a tiger, it will be in danger for both of us."

"Brother Niu, the tiger just had enough yesterday and won't come out at all in the next two days. Why don't we take the opportunity to hunt more prey? Besides, the snow is thicker now. We will be simpler when hunting. If we find It’s not too late to go back after catching the tiger’s footprints.”

Niu Dechang thought that what Wang Congfei said was correct, so he agreed to hunt around today.

The two of them worked together to lift the wild wolf to the front of the shack. Then Wang Congfei went back and rearranged the trap. Niu Dechang buried the wild wolf with snow next to the shack. The daylight hours were now very short, so the two of them had no plans for the time being. Waste your time dealing with this wild wolf.

After doing this, Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei ate something simple, held shotguns, bows and arrows, and led Wu Lili's dog, and confidently started today's search and hunting activity despite the cold wind and snowflakes.

The two men didn't go too far when they found a line of rabbit footprints. While chasing the rabbits, they found a small group of pheasants. At this time, the old-fashioned shotgun in Wang Congfei's hand fired, and the fan-shaped iron sand was sprayed out, leaving five pheasants behind.

Compared to the wolf meat that was a bit woody and fishy, ​​these delicious pheasants made them both happier.

Next, the two of them stepped on the thickened snow and followed the footprints to a small pile of withered grass. The rabbit's footprints disappeared here, and there was a dark hole on the leeward side of the pile of withered grass.

The two gathered some firewood and lit it at the entrance of the cave. They kept fanning the smoke into the entrance of the cave while warming themselves by the fire.

Maybe they were lucky, the smoke really smoked out the hares, even if there were only two, they were very happy.

These two things are trivial to say, but now the two of them don't have Han Li's abnormal physical strength and skills, so they can't walk fast in the snow, and it's getting dark very early now.

After Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei picked up the hare in their hands, the sky was already getting dark. Although they didn't have watches and didn't know the time, they also knew that they had to go back now. Otherwise, when night fell, even if there were no wild beasts attacking, the cold The weather can also kill them.

It happened that the wind in the sky became much stronger at this time, and even the floating snowflakes became much faster. The cold wind poured in along the neck and collar, and Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei shivered from the cold.

"Let's go back from Fei."

"The daylight is too short. We have to go back before we can do anything."

"Let's go. If we can't get back before dark, we'll be in trouble."

Maybe it's because Niu Dechang's mouth is a bit like a crow's mouth, or maybe their luck has run out.

The snow and wind had already almost erased the footprints they had left when they came. The further back they went, the fainter the traces were. Later, not even a trace of footprints could be found, and the sky was getting darker and darker now. , Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei actually deviated a little from their return route.

Fortunately, they still held Wu Lili's dog, and after going around a few times, they finally returned to the shack where they were resting.

Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei had eaten when they went out in the morning and worked hard all day in the cold wind and snow. Now they were almost frozen, so the first thing they did after coming back was to light a fire to warm themselves up.

They didn't even check the traps and covers around them. If they had checked, they would have found that there were a lot of extra gains today.

There was a soft sound when the firewood in the fire pit inside the shack was burning, and the heat spread around with little sparks. The warm feeling made Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei breathe a sigh of relief. After they warmed up, they felt a strong sense of hunger. My stomach was cramping.

The two people quickly started working again. A cup of hot water was consumed first, which made them feel alive again. After that, the rest of the work was simple. They processed the internal organs of rabbits and pheasants and threw them to Wu Lili's dog.

Soon, the aroma of roasted rabbit and stewed pheasant filled the entire shack, and Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei's laughter became louder.

"Brother Niu, we have a good harvest today. These pheasants and hares will go better with some wine. Drink a little."

Niu Dechang was very cold today and felt a little itchy inside his bones. He quickly agreed to Wang Congfei's proposal.

The two of them ate meat and drank happily. After eating and drinking, the fatigue of running around for a day suddenly made them feel sleepy. Coupled with the effect of alcohol, they threw the bones to the dog at the door and simply After saying a few words, he lay down and fell asleep.

As for the wild wolves buried in the snow outside, they had completely forgotten about the traps and covers around them.

Night has completely fallen, and the roars of wild beasts can be heard faintly in the cold wind.

Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei, who were already asleep, had no idea that the carcasses and blood stains of prey caught in bear traps around their shack had become the most dazzling beacon in this mountain forest, and many animals were running in this direction.

——

Han Li was relatively comfortable at home today. Because of the snow, no one came to his side.

Hou Yuhua finished cooking in the morning and went with Aunt Zhao to clear the snow and feed the flying dragon.

Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying, with rosy faces, stretched-out brows, and high spirits, were sitting on the kang of Han Li's house, reading and studying. This was the task assigned to them by Han Li.

Hao Hongmin's temperament is better, and she can calm down and read and study.

But Yang Xiuying's temperament simply couldn't bear to study, especially those things that she felt were useless.

In order to correct Yang Xiuying's temper, Han Li used a multi-pronged approach of stick, pointer, and carrot, and of course there were some rewards, such as recreating the scene on the train that year.

Only then did Yang Xiuying sit down quietly to read and study, striving to meet Han Li's requirements so that she could fully experience it.

After Han Li settled Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying in the north room, he still came to the south room and continued to prepare the medicinal materials.

Because of time and the relationship with the county, all three stoves in the south room were lit by Han Li today.

When Hou Yuhua came over after feeding Feilong, she felt something was wrong when she looked at Hao Hongmei and Yang Xiuying, but she was quickly pulled by these two people to read, study, and suffer together.

In the evening, after the four of them had dinner and cleaned up, Hao Hongmei and Yang Xiuying took the initiative to leave Han Li's house with Hou Yuhua.

In their hearts, they want to stay, but the swelling has still not subsided and they are not allowed to make this choice.

In the middle of the night, bursts of chewing and biting sounds came from outside the shack of Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei.

The dog at the door began to bark desperately. The barking woke up Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei from their sleep.

However, they no longer had the panic they had last night. The traps and covers around them gave them enough confidence.

It was absolutely impossible for them to go out in the dark environment. They calmed the dog and listened for a while. There were many small animals biting and roaring outside. It might be the effect of alcohol. They didn't even think of catching animals. Jie did not check this matter, but laughed happily when he heard that there were so many animals.

"Haha. Listening to these sounds, the harvest tonight is definitely good."

"The place we chose is really a geomantic treasure. If we keep going like this, we will still gain a lot of money even if we don't catch the tiger."

I have to say that the environment can indeed change people. The two people who heard the noise last night and didn't sleep well all night, faced the more complicated situation today, added some firewood to the fire pit and lay down to sleep.

Maybe there were too many small animals moving around in their territory today, which made the tiger who was resting a little impatiently come over.

The arrival of the King of the Jungle caused all the small animals that were competing for food near the trap to run away with their tails between their legs.

The tiger is not very hungry yet and has no interest in these little things like badgers, foxes, and mice. It is even more disdainful of the mutilated animal carcasses on the ground.

But when the tiger's eyes fell on Wu Lili's dog in the distance, its eyes became ferocious.

From the tiger's point of view, not running away was provoking itself. It did not allow such a presence on its territory. Although it was not very hungry, it did not mind eating a late-night snack to replenish the energy it spent on activities at night.

A lion fights a rabbit with all its strength, and the same goes for a tiger. It restrained its aura and used feline dexterity, lightness, and stealth, and waited until it was about the same distance before pounced on the dog.

The poor dog's cervical vertebra was bitten off by the tiger before he could react. During the whole process, it didn't even have to scream, and it didn't even tumble over on its four legs before it was dead.

Before the tiger killed the dog, he found signs of living things in the shack, but the fire inside prevented him from breaking into the simple shack.

After the tiger killed the dog, he glanced inside the shack. The flames and smoke from the fire made him shake his head and exhale heavily from his nose, as if he disliked the smell.

When the tiger bit the dog and left, the rope tied around the dog's neck blocked it for a moment, but it only blocked it for a moment. The tiger didn't even let go, and didn't even pause too obviously. The next second, the dog With a sharp bend in his neck, the strong rope broke into two pieces. The rope that tied the dog was nailed to the ground. If it had been tied to the shelf of the shack, the shack would have collapsed by now.

After the tiger bit the dog and left, Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei's nightmare had just begun.

Not only were the animal carcasses in the trap eaten by other animals, but the carcasses of the wild wolf they buried near the shack were dug out by wolverines. More than half of the wolf was eaten by wolverines on the spot, and the rest was eaten by wolverines. It was dragged out and hidden far away.

The most disgusting thing is that this wolverine used their unique "urine pickling method" to process the uneaten wolf carcasses.

The urine pickling method is a unique skill of wolverines, because wolverines have well-developed odor glands near their anus, which can not only emit foul-smelling gas at critical times to save their lives, but also

It can also use its odor glands to urinate on uneaten food, giving the food a fishy urine smell. Even if other animals find the food the wolverine hides, they will give up because of the smell.

On November 26th of the lunar calendar, the snow that had been falling for nearly two days finally stopped, but the sky still didn't seem to clear up.

Many villagers in Shanghe Village gathered in the houses at the entrance of the village. They were waiting for the village chief and team leader to come back. Everyone wanted to see the chicks as soon as possible. It was best to pick out the two best ones at home. strong.

The situation at Han Li's house is still the same. He cooks medicine, reads books, drinks tea, and

Hao Hongmin and the others were still learning to read, and from time to time they would be raided by Han Li for inspection. In short, they were working in a very harmonious manner.

Today at around two o'clock in the afternoon, two horses pulling a "warm sledge" appeared on the road at the entrance of the village.

The children playing outside saw it and immediately told the waiting adults. After everyone heard it, they all walked out of the house.

"How about the village chief?"

"Is everything going well, captain?"

"This trip went very smoothly with the help of Village Chief Zhao's comrades. Don't hang around here. Go home and take your chicken coops to the village committee to pick up the chicks."

Captain Liang said this means that the little chicken has been caught. Although everyone wants to see it first, they all know the importance. It will not be good for the little chicken if the curtain is opened at this time.

At this time, some people hurriedly went back to get the chicken coop, while others patted their chests and said.

"I won't go get the chicken coop. It's definitely not as warm as mine. I'll put them inside my clothes and put them back later."

"Hey, sister-in-law of the Dashan family, are you planning to let the little chickens eat milk first? But your children are so big, and you still have that thing now? Could it be that the children don't eat, and Uncle Lin doesn't let them Have some free time?"

"Er Gouzi, you bastard. If you want to eat it, go home to your wife and try your best. If you work harder now, you can eat it in August or September next year."

"Hahaha."

"Everyone, stop talking nonsense. In order to ensure the survival of the chickens, those who don't take the chicken coop will have to take it last."

Village Chief Zhao said this in the warm sledge, and those who planned to carry the chicks back with their clothes also ran back to get the chicken coop.

After the carriage arrived at the village committee, Village Chief Zhao told them not to feed the chickens anything for a day after taking them back, and then he began to distribute the chickens.

However, when distributing chickens, no one is allowed to pick or pick them up. Just put the chicken nest under the door curtain. Village Chief Zhao will grab two chickens and put them in and push them out for you. This can ensure that the inside of the sledge is kept warm as much as possible. temperature.

After all the chickens were distributed, Village Chief Zhao came out of the warm sledge. The first thing he did when he came out was to quickly light a pack of cigarettes for himself, and then he smoked two packs of cigarettes in a row before stopping.

Tonight, there was a lot of laughter and laughter in all the villagers’ homes in Shanghe Village.

Both adults and children stood by the chicken coop made of straw, listening to the crisp cries of the chickens.

(At this time, due to feed reasons, newly hatched chicks can come in any color. Yellow chicks will only appear in large numbers after large-scale breeding.)

Today is a day when Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei are deceived, but the situation of Han Li's family is completely different now.
