My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 325

   Digging out the wolf's den is not difficult to say, nor easy to say.

   In the past, when the commune was still there, the wolf team was forced to be in a hurry, and they still found the end of the wolf den.

  If you want to dig out the wolf's den, the key is whether you know the location of the wolf's den in advance, and where it is hidden in the mountains.

   Another question is whether to block the wolves in their dens.

  The wolf is very vengeful, and if the grass is not removed, it is easy to be revenge by the wolf.

   So in the past, as long as you know where the wolf den is, you basically go to raid your house and destroy your door.

   and Chen Ling are not the same concept.

   He just wanted to catch a few little wolf cubs back.

   Besides, those wolves are still the female wolves that Heiwa had been paired with.

   So there is no need to recruit a lot of people for this trip, and there is no need to worry too much.

  Two dogs, an eagle, and a shotgun are enough.

  The family also knows the situation of this wolf pack.

   When the wolf den was still in the ravine in the back mountain, Chen Ling led his family to see it.

  When the wolves have black babies around, they are not afraid of people, and they don't bark at people. They often eat and eat when they should, and play around when they need to.

   So don't worry.

   It's just that the old man will return to Fenglei Town in two days.

   Hearing that Chen Ling was going to go into the mountains to catch the little wolf puppy back, he also wanted to follow.

   Just go, Chen Ling naturally has no opinion.

   So the next morning, after Weng and husband had breakfast, they packed up and set off.

  The third day of the eleventh lunar month is the beginning of winter.

  The air in the mountains is particularly cool and refreshing.

  The winding gut path extends to the depths of the mountain forest.

   The mountains in this season are empty.

   The cold of winter has not yet officially arrived, and the yellow leaves have not fallen.

  The unfading mountains are full of forests.

  The unexhausted water flow, the water is colorful.

   But it is winter, the weather is cold, and the mountains are no longer as lively as usual. Walking in the mountains and stepping on the thick fallen leaves, only a few bird calls can be heard.

  The chirping of insects and the little beasts were gone.

   is a bit more bleak.

   "Yo, Fugui, you and Uncle Cunye also got up early and ran the mountain?"

   "Yeah, you came so early too."

   It was not too late for the two of them to enter the mountain, but they were earlier than them. They were the young people in the village. In the past two months, they had set up squirrels, caught green scorpions, and went to Wangbacheng to sell a lot of money.

   When you can see money, one by one will get more and more energetic.

   Looking at the situation, he came up the mountain before dawn.

  They get up in the morning, most of them are here to sneak clips.

  Clips and sleeves are harvested at night and should be collected early.

  It is easy to have an accident if it is late.

   "We came early and can't compare with you. Your dog is too interested, so you won't go into the mountains empty-handed. We often can't catch anything and go back empty-handed."

   "Look at it if you don't believe me, I caught these little **** last night, and the furry mice won't take the bait."

   "That's right, we've been around here for two or three days. I guess we won't be playing as much as you."

"No, it's not as exaggerated as you said. Now it's winter, and there are fewer wild things. I don't like to come out usually, and it's not easy to catch anyone who comes. It's better to wait for the snow, and starve them for a while. Dayton, it's good to catch."

  Chen Ling shook his head. This year, there are a lot of wild things in the mountains, and everyone's harvest is not bad.

   In previous years, when you get a clip in the mountains, you may not be able to find anything good in seven or eight days. They are all miscellaneous mountain birds, mice and the like.

   This is enough.

   Holding a gun and a slingshot is not necessarily better than this.

   In addition, everyone is busy with various things on weekdays, and they do not simply rely on hunting for a living. The skills of shooting guns and slingshots are not strong.

  Sometimes, after wandering around for a day, it is difficult for the birds to hit a few.

   This is not nonsense either, just go out with a slingshot and try it out.

   In the end, it's better to get two ground covers and two lower clips.

   It's not like Chen Ling's family.

  Two dogs want to catch some pheasants and rabbits.

   Even Chen Ling's handle with half a bottle of water can throw a few miles away from ordinary people.

   After all, who has so much free time like him, who will take the time to shoot guns and slingshots.

   "Fugui is right, these wild things are still easy to catch when it snows, and they freeze for two days. They are cold and hungry, and they are not afraid that they will not leave their nests.

   When the time comes, you can sprinkle some food in the snow, and step on the clip yourself, isn't it easy to catch it? "

   "It's just winter, so we'll have to wait until it snows."

   "Yes, you have to wait, but this year is worth waiting. There are so many wild things in autumn. If you come to catch them in winter, the harvest will definitely not be bad."

   Have a little chat with these people.

   They are all still young and have little experience running mountains.

  Chen Ling didn't tell them to go deeper.

  The mountains in the north are inaccessible, there are many prey, and many squirrels are jumping on the trees.

   But there are traces of lynx haunting there, and after thinking about it, I still don't tell them.

  Although I don't like gadgets like squirrels and civet cats, but now that it's winter, the chances of beasts going hungry are higher, so it's better not to let people go deep.

   "These wild yams are not bad, let's dig some when we go back."

   "It's quite big. Dad, you were here with us this year, and you haven't dug into kudzu and wild yam..."

   "Hey, it's not digging or not, I'm just chatting like that, and I'm happy enough to guard my eldest grandson. What's the point of that little thing."

  It used to be late autumn, and Wang Cunye would go into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs.

   Digging Gastrodia, Pueraria, wild yam.

   Pick schisandra, jujube, wild chrysanthemum.

   This is the habit they have developed over the years, what kind of medicine to take in what season, otherwise they always feel that their hearts will be empty.

   "Our wine sells well. This year I wanted to pick a few more baskets of Schisandra for you to make wine, but I didn't do it. It seems that I have to wait until next autumn."

   The old man sighed, and was soon attracted by the wild fruits hanging from the branches in the forest.

   pointed to a few wild persimmon trees and said, "The persimmons on these trees have not been harmed by birds. You can leave a mark and you can pick the dried persimmons after a while."

   The naturally formed dried persimmons hanging on the tree are not much worse than the homemade persimmons.

  After the frosting, it tastes sweet and glutinous, and the taste is very similar to that of dried sweet potatoes. It is suitable for snacking.

  Chen Ling walked to the tree and looked up. The skin of the persimmon was a little wilted and wrinkled.

   "It's not a dried persimmon yet, but it's frosted, so you can eat it at this time."

   As he said that, he took off a few and handed them to the two of them, and he peeled them off and ate them.

   At this time, the persimmons are not broken, but the water in the pulp becomes less and the sugar content increases. Inside is the kind of yellow candy heart. It looks like a preserved fruit when you break it in half. It is very sweet and delicious.

   Weng's son-in-law ate while walking, while Heiwa was running around with Xiao Jin. No matter how big or small the prey was, he would catch it when he saw it.

  Unfortunately, after the winter, wild herbivorous animals began to move southwards, such as deer, deer, and deer, but there were fewer and fewer.

   Even the two of them had a hard time finding such big prey.

Wang Cunye picked up the prey that Heiwa Xiaojin had brought back into the basket, and said with great admiration, "Heiwa is really diligent. If you change it to another male dog, after the mating is done, you will be able to give birth or not to raise it. ignore.

   When my little male dog is able to be paired with a dog, I don't know if he can learn from Heiwa Yicheng. "

   "Well, this shouldn't be a problem, it's a good big brother to set an example ahead."

  Chen Ling smiled and said to the two dogs: "You two don't get busy for now, hurry up and lead the way, let's go home early after taking out the wolf cubs, it's very cold in the mountains."

  The old man also waved his hand with a smile: "Let's lead the way, lead the way, I heard the magpies all the way, today's trip will definitely be smooth sailing, I've wanted to see those little wolf cubs for a long time."

   Heiwa stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail at Chen Ling, turned around and trotted away first.

  Xiaojin followed the two of them unhurriedly.

   Looking at the red leaves all over the mountain, and walking up, the two and two dogs walked for more than half an hour, until they could see a cliff in front of them.

  This cliff is not steep, but very flat.

  Under a few old pine trees that were blown by the mountain wind, there was a huge strange rock. From a distance, it looked like a big toad lying on the cliff.

  This is another dangerous place besides Langdianyan, called Toad Cliff.

  The danger of Toad Cliff was in the past, when there were many poisonous snakes nearby.

   "Good guy, I really know how to find a place. It turned out to be moving to Toad Cliff."

  Chen Ling saw Xiao Jin wagging his tail at him next to the big footprints under the big tree, and Heiwa also stopped in front of him and looked at him with flattering eyes, needless to say.

  Wolf Den must be nearby.

Wang Cunye took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a wolf's footprint, "It's quite far away, I thought they were moved to the mountains beyond the Daqinling Mountains in the north, but I didn't expect that they took a detour and ran to the south. coming."

  If Langbiyan is on the north side of the farm, then this Toad Cliff must be in the southwest, not a big circle.

  The wolves in the mountains are cunning, and their dens are mostly built in very hidden places.

  Inexperienced people cannot find wolf dens.

  Chen Lingweng and his son-in-law were led by Heiwa, and they went down the ridge and quickly approached Toad Cliff.

  This wolf den is just below Toad Cliff, shaded by lush trees.

   After passing through the bushes, there is a hole in the wolf's den under a large rock.

  Chen Ling squatted in front of the wolf's den and looked inside.

  The hole in this wolf's den is more than enough for one person to enter, but it is extremely deep and long, at least ten or twenty meters.

   "Ow~"

   Heiwa squatted at the entrance of the wolf's den, raised his neck and howled, and his low and long cry quickly made the wolf's den restless.

   After a while, I heard the sound of a wolf humming and chirping from the cave.

   This is not the cry of the little wolf cub, it is the she-wolf who knows Heiwa is coming and is acting like a spoiled child.

   But these nurturing she-wolves are too vigilant.

   When he was three or four meters away from the entrance of the cave, he noticed that Chen Lingweng's son-in-law, the old and the young, was outside, and immediately bared Bai Sensen's teeth, roaring and threatening them.

   This is the she-wolf after giving birth.

   Protecting the calf is the instinct and responsibility of these female wolves, and even the entire pack of wolves, and at this time, no one can come.

  Even if Heiwa kept crying "barking" to reassure them, it wouldn't help.

  Chen Ling and the two were at the entrance of the cave, and they could only see a pair of green eyes twinkling in the cave.

   Gradually, they retreated into the cave.

  Chen Ling watched them shrink back and forth. With his ear, he could still hear the cry of a milky wolf cub in the depths of the cave.

   The sound of the little milk made him want to move. He rubbed his hands together and urged, "Heiwa, go and get a few of your little cubs. Just keep one or two in each litter, go and go."

  Heiwa's eyes were wide open, and he glanced at him with a tilted head. It was not until Xiao Jin called twice that he understood what he meant.

  Heiwa is no better than Xiaojin, she is smart but not sensitive to numbers.

  What is one or two, whether to catch it or keep it, it can be clearly distinguished.

  You need to be reminded by Xiaojin to get a general understanding.

   Then he saw Heiwa got into the cave and climbed down the wolf cave.

   After a while, I heard a lively inside.

   There were even a few unfamiliar dog barks.

   Not long after the cry fell, I saw Heiwa emerge from the wolf cave with a sullen face and a sullen face, not a single wolf cub came out.

   The old man slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "It's over, it's over, now the she-wolf is holding the emperor to make the princes.

   People refused to give it, and Heiwa didn't recruit. "

   These female wolves are now not natural enemies to Heiwa, they are her mother, how could they bite the wolf cubs in anger and kill them, what should the cubs do?

  So the she-wolf was on guard and refused to let Heiwa move her cubs, and Heiwa couldn't do anything about it.

   "Heiwa doesn't have a move, I have a move, I'll go to the wolf's den now, I still don't believe it."

  Chen Ling took out the hunting knife and the hunting gun from the bamboo basket, tied the hunting knife to his wrist, held the gun, crawls down, and is about to burrow into the wolf cave.

  Wang Cunye hurriedly stopped his son-in-law: "Don't, what are you doing? No matter how eager you are to catch the wolf cubs, you can't go to the wolf's den. Going to the wolf's den to hunt wolves is not meat buns beating dogs."

   "No dad, you don't know..."

  Chen Ling slapped his forehead: "I forgot to tell you about this."

  Last year, he and the lynx were out in a valley on the other side of Lutou Mountain, and they found the wolf den in the valley from the trapped milk-dropping female wolf.

   At that time, the lynx told him that wolves are vicious and cunning. If you encounter a wolf in the wild, let alone a person, even a few people are not the opponents of a pack of wolves.

   A lot of times you can't even hold a gun. After the bullets run out, you have to wait to die.

   This is outside.

   But if you go into the wolf's den, block them in the wolf's den.

  They will become timid as mice.

   neither attack nor flee, but crowd each other like sheep, shivering in the cave.

   At this time, let alone a person hit with a gun, a knife is also a knife, and no wolf will resist.

  Chen Ling didn't know whether this statement was true or not, because lynx caught wolves in the northern plains, and the habits of prairie wolves, plain wolves, and alpine wolves were also different.

   But he has a cave, even if the wolf will resist after getting into the wolf's den.

   Saying this is to reassure my father-in-law.

Sure enough, when he said this, Wang Cunye was stunned and muttered: "This wolf is quite strange, but I heard before that someone went to the wolf's den to fetch wolf cubs, and was blocked by the wolf in the hole, and almost gave it to the wolf. ate?"

   "Well, that's the wolf that came back from the outside. The wolf that came back from the outside is very powerful. If it's in the den, the wolf will be blocked by someone, and you have to be cowardly."

  Chen Ling smiled and looked at the old man's doubts. He didn't say any more, and hurried into the hole with a gun.

  The outside of the wolf's den is a long hole.

The depth of the    hole suddenly opened up, and it was a large hole in the ground. This was the wolf's den.

   If you use one thing to describe it, it is like a long-necked conical flask, or the kind of jade bottle held by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

  Slim and long neck with a big belly underneath.

  Wolf Den is such a structure.

   The slender and deep hole is more than ten meters long, and it is a wolf den the size of half a house.

   Such a wolf's den is deep underground, warm in winter and cool in summer.

   It can be seen that they are also very enjoyable.

   But when Chen Ling really got into the wolf cave.

   Only then did he realize that the wolf cave in this mountain is not straight, it will turn when it encounters a rock, similar to the mouse cave, it will go round and round.

   And the cave was too dark.

  Chen Ling's flashlight was of no use, and the wolf cave was underground again. The light of the flashlight in the wolf cave was like a firefly at night, and it couldn't dispel much darkness.

   Fortunately, Chen Ling's eyes have very strong night vision.

   struggled to crawl into the depths of the wolf cave, until the eyes suddenly opened up, a pair of green eyes flickered together, and they huddled together in a panic.

  Chen Ling had a happy face: "Lynx is right, once the wolf is trapped in the den, it really won't resist."

   But not waiting for him to be happy for a long time, or even waiting for him to find those little wolf cubs, only to hear a "poof", a stench that can blow people down fills the air.

  Chen Ling's face changed greatly, and he quickly covered his nose.

  Grandma, this wolf was so frightened that he farted.

  I saw these wolves huddled together in a corner of the wolf's den, shivering and farting.

   Fortunately, the wolf's den was spacious, and Chen Ling was already able to bend over and stand up.

   When Chen Ling pinched his nose and walked to these wolves, they were so frightened that they screamed, "Wang Wang", and at the same time kept farting and urinating loudly.

  Chen Ling really didn't expect it to be like this. Seeing that they were getting worse and worse, he felt that it was too dirty and smelly to make a wolf's den like this, so he quickly waved them all into the cave.

  The wolf den is very clean on weekdays, and the wolves will not excrete in the wolf den.

   In the current situation, they simply feel that they have encountered a life-and-death crisis, and are so scared that they become incontinent.

   took away the wolves, and then he could see clearly. It turned out that the corner behind the huddled wolves was a fluffy, trembling little wolf cub.

   These little guys are chubby and chubby, with gray-black hair, and they keep making humming little milky sounds, and they are also huddled together.

   looks very endearing.

Chen Ling took a closer look, these little guys are obviously almost full moon. When they were crowded together, they were divided into several piles. Brothers and sisters of the same mother and compatriots were crowded into a pile, and they were very different from other little guys. .

   This is a litter of little wolf cubs.

   "I'm going to make a fortune now, so many little chubby guys are all of Heiwa's seed."

  Chen Ling rubbed her hands, her excited eyes lit up.

   then came to the front and carefully picked up the little guy in each nest to select.

   He didn't choose blindly when he chose.

  Those little guys who are already very good and strong, he doesn't move.

   Specifically look for those thin and thin, who are obviously smaller than their siblings, and after picking them out, unpack them and wrap them up.

   After some selections, watching the little guys crawling around in the baggage, Chen Ling felt heavy when he hugged them, "Hey, these little wolf puppies, take them out to fill a basket."

   looked and looked with satisfaction, waved his hand and received it into the cave.
