My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 153

   Chapter 153 Tiger Head

   However, when it comes to hunting in the mountains, each village has its own housekeeping skills and routines. Usually, even if the hunters from the two villages happen to meet, they will not go together.

   is that today's situation is quite special. It's autumn, the weather is not good, the sky is overcast, and it means that it will rain.

   Everyone chatted for a while and got to know each other.

   Chen Ling and the others knew that these hunters belonged to Wang Lixian's father-in-law.

   The old man who took the lead, called Liu Guangli, had a slender face, rosacea, big eyes, black and red complexion, and was wearing a tattered sheepskin jacket. He was a cousin to Wang Lixian's father-in-law.

   has been in contact all the year round and is very close to Wang Lixian.

   This is an old hunter.

   is not a big celebrity in several nearby villages.

   "Fugui, come closer and take a look, Uncle Guangli is called Lao Pao Shanren, look at this guy, it's almost incomplete..."

  Wang Lixian called Chen Ling to him and pointed to them.

   I saw Liu Guangli and the others besides the shotgun and hatchet, they also had a dagger and a three-toothed steel fork.

   In Lao Paoshan's slang, the dagger is called "售子", the three-toothed steel fork is called "售子" or "steel luozi", and the standing hunting knife is called "stick wrist".

   is the guy who used to defend himself and eat after entering the mountain.

  Kinmen Village has little farmland, so it is a real backer to eat mountains and water.

   "Captain" is the most commonly used as it can fork fish in water and stab prey in mountains.

   After all, shotguns are not a panacea. In many cases, these things handed down from an old life can save lives.

Seeing that they were young and curious, Liu Guangli sucked his rosacea and laughed with a broken gong: "Don't look at the good harvest we have gained from going into the mountains this time, we were able to hunt this big wild boar and killed three good hunting dogs. …”

"Dolls, don't think that if you have a shotgun, you're not afraid of anything, just take a shotgun around the mountains, and play some gadgets. Go deep, you can meet anything, or you can be prepared, you will have a small life. It might be lost."

   "Like us this time, when we meet a wild boar, we don't have to wear a 'wristband' or carry a 'steel kid' on our backs. Just relying on a shotgun, it can't be done."

  The boar has thick skin, so it won't die on the spot if hit by a shotgun.

  's attack power is even stronger.

  Unless the marksmanship is good, one shot in the eye will blow the brain.

   But that is not something ordinary hunters can do, and snipers have to come.

   After finishing speaking, Liu Guangli showed them the bottles and jars carried by the other Orion.

   Not only are there anti-snake and insect repellent powders, but also some ointments applied to hunting knives and steel forks. This ointment is unusual and has a certain degree of toxicity.

   is made of strychnine-based medicinal materials.

   Not only can be used for hunting, it can also be used to relieve swelling and pain when people are injured.

   This kind of medicine has many benefits, even if the prey is poisoned, it can still be eaten, and the human body will not get sick after eating it.

   "Haha, Uncle Guangli, let's open up. I'll show you everything and tell you everything."

  Chen Dazhi put his hands behind his back, turned around and smiled.

"Look at what you said, what can't you see? Paoshan's rice bowl is not a golden rice bowl, it's very hard, young children don't expect to rely on this to support their families, they still have to work hard and develop outside the mountain. future…"

   "After this, the less people who go into the mountains, the better it will be. Even if we are so old-fashioned, we will rot in our hands and be lost, as long as the dolls don't suffer anymore, that's fine."

   Everyone was silent, all nodded in agreement.

   If it weren't for the floods this year, everyone would be so poor that they would not have a good year, otherwise they wouldn't have run into the mountains to make a living.

  The old hunters chatted lively.

   The young man was a little impatient and couldn't help it. He ate boiled wild yam in the morning, and his stomach was growling with hunger. A group of people went to prepare lunch.

   When two villages get together, there will be more people.

   But the hunters in Kinmen Village don't pay attention to these things, just say they eat fish.

   Next to the stream, fish and shrimp are readily available, and you can catch a lot of them without much effort.

  Chen Ling heard about eating fish, so naturally he couldn't simply cook fish soup.

After building the stone stove, I found a smooth stone slab, washed it and heated it with fire, and boiled rabbit oil on it. Yesterday, I left some in the hare's stomach. In addition, he brought a lot of seasoning, which was just right for use. Let's fry fish.

  Heat the rabbit oil.

  Mountain catfish, wheat ears, and shrimp are placed on top.

  In an instant, with a sizzle, the fragrance wafted out…

   This time the wild ducks are all saved.

   In fact, the taste of rabbit oil is not very good. The key is that Chen Lingfang has many kinds of seasonings, and the taste is quite good.

   Today's lunch, everyone ate a round belly.

   After eating the fish and shrimp, if you feel that there are not enough fish and shrimp, you can catch them. The bigger fish are simply cleaned up. The small fish and shrimp are not handled at all, and they are directly fried.

   Those hunters in Kinmen Village, who have been in the mountains for many days, have never eaten such a fragrant meal.

   directly boasted that the people in Chenwangzhuang would eat it.

   "Li Xian, it's only the second day after you entered the mountain, and you've caught so many prey, it's not too small."

   "Yeah, it's not too much, the main reason is that the dog I brought this time is good, very smart, and it hits it in one stroke, haha."

"Oh, when you said that, I forgot to ask you, didn't you say that the dogs in your village have never been trained? Why are they all so fierce, good guy, meet each other and take these well-trained dogs that we brought with you. The dogs are all lying down."

"Haha, Uncle Guangli, you don't know, the dog spirits I'm talking about are not these local dogs, but those two dogs, don't you see? They are majestic and strong, with these two here, the dogs in our village are just like As with the dog king, he dares to go up when he encounters a wolf."

   Wang Lixian pointed to the two big dogs beside Chen Ling who were eating fish.

   "Ah? You mean those two big dogs? Are they so powerful? At first I thought they were the big ocean dogs brought by the doll."

  Liu Guangli was a little stunned, he stared at Heiwa and Xiaojin from left to right, but couldn't see any way.

   "Uncle Guangli, you've gone too far. This isn't a foreign dog, it's a serious tiger-headed yellow li here. No one has ever trained him, no one has trained him, and he is still very good."

  Wang Lixian said with a smile, and pointed to Chen Ling: "As for the doll you mentioned, it belongs to my uncle Juncai's family, called Chen Fugui, you must know."

   "Chen Fugui, the son of Brother Juncai, is this baby?! It's not that he..."

Liu Guangli's eyes widened, just as Chen Ling was looking at him at this time, he stopped talking and waved at him: "You are really rich and noble in a talented family? I have seen you before, you are a teenager, and you have shaved your head half way. Crying wow wow, life and death will not let you shave again, you have to pee at night with a lantern, this... in the blink of an eye, you have grown so big, you can't even recognize each other."

   "Ah, it's me, my father is Chen Juncai, uncle, have you been to my house before?"

  Chen Ling was also a little stunned, and had no impression of this old man.

   "Hey, you baby, why haven't you been there? You came back from the mountains that year... Forget it, you definitely don't remember."

  Liu Guangli stared at him for a while, then shook his head again, suddenly realizing that Chen Ling's father just lost his wife in those two years, this kid was left alone and was making a lot of trouble, so he simply stopped talking about it.

   turned around and said, "Are these two dogs in your family also yellow? They don't look like they."

Chen Ling didn't think about it, he nodded and replied: "It's tiger head yellow, yellow is pure yellow, black is pure black, there is no other variegated color, what is not tiger head yellow? It's just that I feed them well, they grow long. too soon."

   "It shouldn't be too well fed, especially this **** dog is too big. It can top two and a half of the average tiger's head and yellow..."

   The old man frowned: "But this black dog with square head and big ears does look very similar."

Hutouhuang is produced in Fenglei Town, which is at the junction of the three provinces. There is an ancient road running through the Qinling Mountains nearby. There are deep mountains and dense forests. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. Harm animals and kill people.

   Therefore, the people here raise vicious dogs from house to house to guard the house or protect the caravan.

   After long-term crossbreeding with jackals and wolves, the special dog breed Hutouhuang was formed.

  The tiger head has bright yellow hair, square head and big ears, wide forehead, and flat mouth.

This kind of dog has well-developed limbs, thick soles, moderate toe hooks, a wolf-like figure, well-proportioned and powerful, whether it is between mountains and forests or on flat ground, it runs fast, as fast as the wind, and has strong endurance. It is a natural hunter. The dog breed, the roar is as thick as a tiger, which is daunting.

   More importantly, this dog is loyal to the master, and understands human nature. No matter whether it is rich or poor, it only recognizes one master, and it is very good for training.

   However, it also has disadvantages, that is, protecting the family and the master will not give in an inch, and it is easy to go crazy and bite people to death.

   "It looks like a black dog, this yellow dog doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it at all, its head is too narrow and too thin, if it doesn't wag its tail at you, just look at the dog's eyes, it looks like a wolf."

   Liu Guangli looked up and down, left and right, shaking his head and smacking his lips.

  Chen Ling laughed secretly after hearing this, this old man was talking nonsense, when his little blond hair was ruthless, he did look a bit like a wolf, but now he is so handsome, just looking at his appearance, he is very handsome, where does he look like a wolf?

At this time, Chen Dazhi walked over with a cigarette and said, "Okay, Uncle Guangli, we have enough to eat and drink, and we should do serious things. Don't you say that this dog in the rich family is not like a tiger's head, wait a moment. Let you see and see, you are smart and fierce, but it is much more powerful than the average tiger head yellow."

  Wang Lixian also said that Xiaojin's ability is very strong, generally the tiger's head is yellow and the fierce will return to the fierce, how can he have the ability to call on the dog group.

"Okay, I will see and see. Hutouhuang is a natural dog that drives mountains. As long as we enter the mountains, pheasants and rabbits don't want to run away. If they encounter a wild boar, they will dare to go up. The three we died Among the dogs, there is a tiger-headed yellow, which has been raised for five or six years. At that time, I didn't pay attention to the wild boars coming over. In order to protect me, the wild boars died..."

   "But that wild boar is not easy. You all saw it just now, you are blind, and your stomach is running down the ground."

  Liu Guangli smiled, knocked the cigarette bag twice, and stood up slowly.

   "Crack."

   A thunderstorm flashed in the sky.

   shocked everyone who just got up and was about to leave.

   "It's autumn, why is there still thunder?"

   "Thunder in February and August, there are thieves everywhere, this is not a good sign..."

   The faces of the three older men became heavy.

   "No, thunder at this time is not a good sign. You can't go deeper and go further today. It will be bad if it rains heavily at night."

   "Human counts are not as good as heaven, so we can only get here today."

Liu Guangli sighed and turned around to discuss with Wang Lixian and Chen Dazhi: "When we came over, there were many caves in Mopanling in the southwest, and the road was not too far, or we might just make do with a nest in the cave for the night... "

"That's great!"

   Everyone felt relieved when they heard it.

   Having ready shelter from the rain is better than digging hard.

   In fact, on the cliff to the north, there are places where they came, and there are places to shelter from the rain, that is, the terrain is too low and it is very close to the valleys and gorges, so you can't stay overnight after it rains.

   "We've heard before that there are many caves on Mopanling. The old man said that they were all left by little devils. They lived in the mountains for a long time in order to dig pits and mine wells."

   "Yeah, the little devils are digging holes everywhere in order to find mines and oil. It's like crazy."

   In just a few words, there was a drizzle in the sky, and small water splashes from the mountain stream.

  The crowd did not dare to delay any longer, and concentrated on rushing to Mopanling in the southwest mountain.

Walking along the side of the mountain forest, listening to the raindrops that are gradually getting bigger and denser, falling on the leaves, crackling, the sound of birds and insects can no longer be heard, only the cold sound of rain, accompanied by bursts of autumn wind blowing. Come on, hit people in the face.

  The autumn rain in the mountains is always cool, and the fog washes the old forest with seven points of yellow.

Mopanling is not far away. It takes about 20 minutes to get there. The mountains and mountains are connected here, and they are circling one after another, just like a huge grinding plate, hence the name. When walking in this mountain, you must be careful everywhere. Many little devils have hit the mines, and each well is basically as thick as four or five people's arms.

  Chen Ling and the others saw one. They stomped their feet not far away, and there were echoes. They walked over to take a look. The deep mine made people feel weak in their legs and chills in their hearts.

   No need to remind everyone, everyone is careful.

The cave in Mopanling was left by the little devils back then. When they were looking for minerals and oil, they dug the cave halfway up the mountain to make it easy to live in. Chen Ling and the others braved the rain to find the cave. There are four caves, not far away. But one has been blocked by rocks and is overgrown with moss and wild wormwood.

  Chen Ling had a lot of people, so he chose a relatively large one from the remaining three.

In this cave, there is a huge rock standing at the entrance of the cave. The top of the cave is sharp and the bottom is narrow and the middle is round. People need to put a cat on the waist to enter. The space inside is relatively large. When you touch the dark cave with a flashlight, you only feel dark and cold. There is airtight moss between the crevices of the cave and the feces of various wild animals. Fortunately, after a long time, it has become dry and hard. Otherwise, if you rush into this dark hole, you will definitely have to step on it. Foot shit.

  No one comes all the year round, and the smell in the cave is not very good. It took a lot of work for everyone to clean it up. After that, Chen Ling took out a matchstick from the bag and smoked it back and forth, covering the smell.

  It is raining a lot outside now, the temperature in the mountains has dropped, and many people can already feel the cold, so everyone is going to find some dry wood and start a fire.

It was Chen Ling who did this job two days ago. Now it's the turn of the other young boys. They went to the woods to pick them up in the rain. Halfway up the mountain, there were many pines and cypresses. They were places where no one came all the year round. The pine needles are very thick, and there are so many dead branches, you can pick up a bunch of them if you look for them.

   It was only after three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ling saw that it was getting dark outside, the autumn rain was cold and humid, and the dogs had no energy to play, lying next to people, yawning constantly.

   After the fire was raised, everyone was in the mood to speak.

  It is very cold in the mountains after the rain in autumn. If there is no shelter for the wind and rain, even if a tent is set up and a fire is raised, it will be so cold at night that you will not be able to sleep at all.

  There is a mountain spring on the Mopan Ridge. A few young people just went to kill the wild ducks and other things by the mountain spring and cleaned up. When they came back with a pot of water, they were shaking all over, and they didn't want to move their buttocks around the fire.

   "Is there any wine left for Brother Xian?"

  Chen Ling grilled the wild duck and asked.

   "Don't worry, there are more miles, just don't have Li Xian, and we have it with us. It's humid in the mountains, why don't we have some wine?"

  Chen Dazhi replied with a smile, he peeled off two long worms and a mountain mouse, marinated them with the seasoning brought by Chen Ling, which was caught by the dogs on the way to Mopanling, just enough to make do with it.

   "Everyone has something to drink tonight, and we'll count on you, Fugui, to give you an exciting appetizer."

   "Haha, this roast duck of mine is definitely going to be energetic. I'll make another one mixed with long worms and stew a pot of hot soup later, to warm up my body and feel absolutely comfortable. You can see it."

It's past three o'clock now, and it's not too long since we just had lunch. In fact, everyone is not hungry, but in such weather, you can't go anywhere, and you have nothing to do in a cave. It's better to play with something to eat. Have a drink and get some rest.

  The sky was getting darker and darker, the cool wind was rising, and the dim yellow firelight of the cave swayed.

  As the warmth in the cave rose, everyone who had finished drinking fell asleep in a daze.

At this time, it was already night outside the mountain, and the rain gradually became smaller. It stopped and listened carefully. There were waves of howling wolves in the distance, and there were bursts of "rustling" sounds and "yoyo" in the distance. strange cry.

  Chen Ling woke up suddenly and looked out of the pitch-black hole. He slept very lightly, and he always felt that something was peeping in the dark, making him thorn in the back, making him extremely uncomfortable.

   "Wang Wang Wang! Wang Wang!" Not only did Chen Ling sense that something was wrong, but Heiwa and Xiao Jin also got up and ran to the entrance of the cave, barking their teeth and making demonstrative roars.

   This time, everyone was awakened by the sound of dogs barking.

   "What's wrong with wealth?"

   "The rain stopped for a while outside, and it seemed that something was touching."

  Chen Ling walked to the entrance of the cave with a shotgun, and saw his dog standing in front of the entrance, staring fiercely in one direction in the forest.

   After the last wolf fight, he reprimanded the two dogs to let them encounter wild animals and not to run around easily, and this time they obviously took note.

   did not act rashly.

   But when Chen Ling walked out of the cave, his expression changed. He saw green eyes everywhere in the mountains and forests, surrounded by the woods outside the cave, about forty or fifty meters away.

   After Wang Lixian and others came out, their faces changed greatly when they saw this scene.

   "Is this a pack of wolves? Did you come over by smelling us?"
