Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 135 Missing the Leopard

Both sides did not hunt on the first day. When camping at night, they kept a distance of more than 100 meters from the militiamen, as long as they could see each other and did not touch each other.

Wu Hao continued westward after breakfast, as long as he didn't see a lynx, he wouldn't chase even if he saw footprints.

Tiancangzi and sable have approximate locations, and the other animals may not have gone anywhere, chasing them is a waste of time.

Deng Liuzi was driving the ox cart, Zhang Laosan was sitting on the side with the dog on the leash, and the dogs were lying on the cart.

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

A pheasant flew by, and Zhang Laosan looked at his family's big flowered dog. Since entering the mountain, his family's first dog barked at everything he encountered.

He didn't care either, his flower dog and black dog didn't hesitate at all when they met bears, and they didn't lose any effort in killing the three bears before.

The four dogs of Deng Liuzi's family are stronger than his family's dogs. They often go into the mountains together, and now they are quite friendly.

That is, the two-headed dogs are prone to disagreement. When chasing a prey, the flower dog will follow the little yellow dog of Deng Liuzi's family.

If you chase two, you may split up. Fortunately, they only hunted bears and otters this time. When encountering a single bear, the six dogs will go together.

Deng Liuzi drove the car around the corner and headed towards two o'clock. There was a river flowing from the west to the village. He was going to see if he could catch otters with traps.

The mountain road was more than 40 miles away, and it was almost dark. Deng Liuzi drove along the bank to the northwest, and stopped more than 300 meters away from the dam in front.

Otters often go ashore to eat bark, and the two of them took their guns into the nearby forest and approached slowly. It would be best if they could kill one with a gun, and then trap it.

There was really an otter gnawing on the root of the tree on the bank. They were so happy that they walked forward gently.

A small northwestern wind blows and brings the smell.

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

The little yellow dog made a fuss and started barking when it smelled it. The big flower dog followed closely behind, and the other dogs barked.

Both sides of the river bank were empty and silent, and the barking of the dog spread far away. The otter turned around and ran towards the ice hole in fright when he heard the sound, and then got into it.

The two of them were still more than 200 meters away from the ice cave, Zhang Laosan sighed: "Paralysis stewed dog meat!"

Deng Liuzi also wanted to scold, but held back. His little yellow dog is not bad, he is far away from the show, dares to fight and fight, and is not only not cowardly but also very strong when he meets Xiong.

It's no worse than other hunter's dogs. There's no way a hunting dog will make a sound when it encounters prey.

Just keep them far away, pay attention next time, Deng Liuzi walked towards the embankment, envious of Wu Hao in his heart.

Wu Dafa trains the dog day after day, and he will teach the dog to fight. He will cover the dog's mouth when he encounters footprints or prey when he enters the mountain.

Originally, there were wolf genes, the first dog did not bark, and the other dogs did not bark. Over the years, several dogs gradually developed the habit of ambush.

His father has no one, Wu Dafa is patient, and the breed of dog is not good. The old dog at home is not bad, so after dragging the new dog out, he can't run up the mountain.

He also often goes to work in the forest farm, so he has no time to train new dogs, and he doesn’t train them well, nor does he envy him. Fortunately, Wu Hao doesn’t have a dog this time.

Zhang Laosan went to the middle of the river and knelt down to observe the thickness of the ice layer, and then took a flashlight to shine on it before shaking his head: "It should be half a meter thick, and the chain saw can dry out and smoke. If it breaks, you have to pay for it."

Deng Liuzi regained his senses and nodded: "It's going to be dark soon, stay nearby for a night, and go to the upper reaches of the river near the cliff tomorrow, where the current is fast and you should be caught."

"Then go north to find that Tiancangzi, and hit Xiong to find other Tiancangzi in the west."

"Okay!" Zhang Laosan nodded and sneered, "The day after tomorrow we finish that warehouse, and it would be great if Wu Hao could walk 150 miles."

"Eleven days left, let's see how many prey he can hunt."

"Don't underestimate him! Wu Hao is not an ordinary person who can beat so many bears!" Deng Liuzi reminded, although he wanted to save face.

But I have to admit in my heart that Wu Dafa and Wu Hao are much stronger than them, and his father is no match for them.

Zhang Laosan also nodded when he heard this. This time he took so much advantage, he couldn't compare to others, and he would be ashamed to see others in the future.

When the two of them camped, a leopard walked out of the woods six or seven miles northeast of them, and hadn't stepped onto the mountain road yet.

It opened its nostrils slightly and smelled a few scents, turned around and ran, leaping through the woods, up the slope and into a forest, before slowing down.

Turning around to take a look and listen carefully, the surroundings are quiet and there is no danger, and he still hasn't stopped.

It was chased by people and dogs on the north side of the boundary river. When it ran to the south, it was frightened by gunshots from the east and continued to run south.

On the way, I wanted to turn west, but there was a village in the west. It could only continue south. After walking for more than 20 miles, I saw trees falling in front of me.

There was still a lot of roaring and shouting, and it ran westward in a hurry, crossed the mountain road, and crossed a small river.

Identify the direction and choose to go to the southwest, catch rabbits and pheasants on the way, and then rest in the trees, wandering around for two days without any prey.

Today, I drove until dark, and when I got out of the woods, I smelled a familiar smell again. The smell of people and dogs was very strong. It was afraid of gunshots, so it couldn't go to the southwest.

The Northeast can't go back either, so it chooses to go north, rushing all night, and arrives at a river in the morning, then goes left into the woods.

Walking less than a kilometer to the west, it saw a cliff ahead. It noticed the Tiancangzi again, looked up and sniffed, but didn't smell the smell.

The surrounding area is very quiet, it is a little tired from running for so many days, so it climbs a tree to rest.

Deng Liuzi got up early in the morning to set up his car and go north, to the upper reaches of the river near the cliff, if someone told him.

Yesterday, he walked slowly to meet the leopard, and he probably regretted it.

Just after noon, the two came to the river. This time they tied the ox cart to the bank, and there were militiamen behind them, so they were not afraid of losing it.

The two of them took their guns from the downwind port and went up the river to find the embankment. After walking for two miles, they saw the embankment and turned back into the woods.

Otters sometimes come out to bask in the sun. There are two otters, one big and one small, lying on the shore, 100 meters away. Deng Liuzi dare not go forward when he sees the otters.

At this distance, Zhang Laosan's gun was not accurate, so he took off the semi-automatic fine sight from his back.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the little otter screamed in fright, and hurriedly dived into the water, and the big otter turned over on the bank and remained motionless.

"Niubi!" Zhang Laosan praised, it was the first time to hit prey from such a long distance, semi-automatic is different

Deng Liuzi was also very surprised. He just got the semi-automatic and specially practiced at home for two days, but he didn't expect to get off to a good start.

He cheerfully went over to open the otter.

Zhang Laosan went back to drive the car. After feeding the dogs, he wanted to open the ice trap, but the ice was too thick to open.

In a hurry, Deng Liuzi decided to put the trap in the ice hole, which was similar to Wu Hao's operation. Sticks were tied to both sides of the trap, shaped like a small square door.

Tie willow branches behind the door and insert them into the hole in the ice.

After the three clips were finished, the two looked for a place to light a fire for dinner, and after discussing it, there was a dam to the west that was too far away, so we can wait until the warehouse is finished.

There are eighteen bends on the mountain road in the north, and the snow is too thick in some places, so they decided to go around the river on the east side of the cliff.

Not far from the cliff, the big yellow dog opened its mouth, "Wow, woof, woof", and the six dogs barked, and the leopard on the tree on the cliff raised its ears and woke up.

Even though the barking in the southeast was very small, it could still hear the barking of a dog, and jumped off the tree to run southwest.

In its memory, there were many prey and no humans in that direction, and it stopped hastily after walking less than ten miles.

There was an extinguished fire in the open space beside the mountain road ahead, and there was the smell of several people in the air. It was the place where Wu Hao and the others rested at noon yesterday.

The leopard was stunned. Although the smell had faded, it could still tell that the humans had gone to the southwest after it approached.

It goes so far north, why are humans still so close to it?You can't go to the southwest, there are dogs barking in the southeast, and they come from the northeast.

The leopard looked to the north, and remembered that there was a grassland with many rabbits in it. It liked to hunt in the forest, and now some people had to turn around and go north.

After walking for nearly ten miles, two rabbits ran past. They hadn't eaten enough for the past few days, so they hurriedly chased them, and there were pheasants flying nearby.

The leopard rested for a while, and then went to catch a rabbit and climbed a tree to eat. There are a lot of prey around here. If the dog doesn’t follow, it is going to rest again. Tomorrow, it will catch two more rabbits and leave when it is full.
