Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 185 The Chicken Thief's Licking Dog

Wu Hao and his mother picked New Year pictures together, and the ones sold in Daji were a penny or two cheaper than the price.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone finished shopping, and everyone got into the carriage to go home. Li Erhuai sat on the carriage and kept rubbing his scalp.

"Holy shit, it hurts me to death. Old Deng must have done it on purpose. He asked him to shave his head, and almost sent the young master away!"

Not only did he have a scalp pain, but his ears were red, and he muttered curses in the car.

Xiaodoubao looked back at Daji and muttered, "Mom, where are we going to go to the market tomorrow?"

Gao Lijuan stretched out her hand and poked her on the forehead: "Can you go to the market all the time? I'll sell you next time."

The little girl immediately shook her head: "I'm worthless, sell Li Erbai!"

"Huh?" Li Erhuai suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Go back and sell me to the old man. I will kneel on his head in the middle of the night and burn paper to send him away!"

The second daughter-in-law glared at him sideways: "If you need a beating, just tell me!"

Li Erhuai opened his mouth to put his little hands on his hips, but turned his eyes to take a deep breath, he has been beaten too much recently.

The buttocks are still a little itchy, and the brain is not in the same line of thinking. The back of the hill wants to be beaten, and the mind wants to bear it. Sit there and lower your head: "Wait for the master to slowly drip!"

Gao Lijuan frowned, this child is messed up!Fortunately, he still has people who are afraid, looking up to the west.

It's not far from my mother's house, and I need to send the people in the village home. I can't go today, and I can only visit after the Chinese New Year.

It was completely dark, three cars entered the village, and the others got out of the car with their things. Wu Dayong heard the dog barking and came out to open the gate to help unload the things and leave.

Gao Lijuan called to stop him: "Second Uncle will go back after dinner!"

"It's cooking in the front yard, I'm done." Wu Dayong waved his hand, he doesn't need to pretend here.

Wu Hao handed a chicken, duck and goose to his hand and said, "It's the Chinese New Year, don't be reluctant to eat it!"

"I'll kill him in two days!" Wu Dayong nodded. The children in the family can make money, so he doesn't have to worry too much about it.

Pointing to a group of animals, he said, "All are fed."

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Wu Weiguo drove the ox cart to take the second uncle home. The cow was kept in the front yard. The old man's eyes were not very good at night, so he needed him to take him back.

Gao Lijuan cooks, and there are leftovers at home, so just heating up the bean buns is a meal.

They are very energetic when they go for a walk during the day, but they are tired immediately when they get home. The three of them lean on the wall to watch TV after eating.

Only the greedy cat was lying on the edge of the kang eating frozen persimmons, with its feet dangling up and down behind him, it could tell that it was enjoying itself.

The New Year is coming soon, Wu Hao doesn't plan to go to the mountains again, just stayed at home for two days, this morning he came into the house with a loudspeaker and said, "My brother, my chicken was eaten by a fox."

Women in mountainous areas also know many animal footprints, especially the footprints of foxes and yellow skins that can be seen all the time.

Wu Hao didn't feel surprised, and asked with a smile, "How many do you eat?"

The big trumpet said: "eight eat four, look at the footprints are two foxes."

Wu Weiguo smiled on the kang and said, "It's very important to keep four, why did you provoke the fox?"

"How can I mess with it!" Big Trumpet raised his eyebrows: "Maybe my little chicken went for a walk in the east, and the rooster's crowing attracted the fox."

She looked at Wu Hao: "Brother, why doesn't your mink work?"

This mink has been raised for more than five years. In the past, yellow-skinned foxes and the like really didn't dare to come to the village. She didn't understand why they dared to come now?
Wu Hao sighed: "Those two guys are like pigs, I wouldn't want to work if I'm full."

When the old man raised mink, the mink was young and active, running around in the village every day, killing weasels when they were hungry, and bringing them home if they couldn't eat.

I have been away for more than a month this year, and I can eat enough after returning home, and I still don’t go out for a walk when I am old. Some foxes think that the mink is gone, so of course they dare to enter the village.

There are many chicken thieves in the forest area. Raccoons, foxes, weasels and other minks can steal chickens. The most powerful chicken thief is the fox.

The weasel is not the same as the fox. It will not bite the livestock unless someone offends it.

These two "big immortals" hold grudges the most, and the weasel will stare at the family endlessly. If anyone dares to kill the old weasel, its offspring will come back!
Huangpizi is very evil, Wu Hao has seen it with his own eyes, it is not just as simple as killing poultry.

There is an old saying in Northeast China that little ghosts are afraid of stupid people!
If Huang Pizi is afraid, it will not dare to come.

The fox is different. It really enters the village for food. The descendants of this thing are not as good as the weasel for holding grudges, but the contemporary fox may be endless.

Especially the kind with long and narrow eyes, which hold grudges rounder than the eyes.

Wu Hao put on his shoes on the ground: "Go and have a look."

Huhuang is really good in the Northeast, especially some old ladies are afraid of this thing. When a weasel comes to the house, it will immediately find food for others.

It also happened that weasels besieged the village in groups. If one of them died in the family, the old lady would be stunned.

Villages with many hunters are different. I am afraid that there are very few people in them, so it would be good not to beat them.

Huhuang definitely wouldn't dare to come to his house, not to mention Diao, seven big dogs would confuse them.

There is Wu Meng's house between Da La Ba and his house. There is no dog or goose in the house, so of course the fox dares to go.

In fact, as long as the fox and the yellow man want to kill, the big goose and the big rooster are not their opponents.

Wu Hao first looked at the footprints on the ground in the east. The narrow diamond-shaped plum blossom footprints, the soles of the feet were tightened, and the footprints were very shallow. They were indeed fox footprints.

There are chicken footprints on the snow. The fox did follow the chicken. The footprints reached the bottom of the wall and jumped into the courtyard. The goal went straight to the chicken coop.

Daxinganling is too cold in winter, and most of the chicken coops are surrounded by adobe, which is similar to a shrunken house.

There are two fist-sized air vents on the front of the wall, and there is only a small wooden door [-] cm square.

Wu Hao squatted by the door and covered his nose. Every animal has a different smell, and the aura of the fox is very strong and pungent, disgusting.

When the fox is in a hurry, especially the eyes and face, it is quite scary to look closely.

"Doing evil" in the chicken coop last night, the dead old hen still has a bad smell that hasn't dissipated.

Four chickens eat two, and the remaining two are eaten to death. This is the Huo Huo people, and they cannot be used to it.

The loudspeaker pointed at the stone next to the wooden door and said angrily, "I didn't even block it!"

"The stone is too small." Wu Hao shook his head. If nothing unexpected happened, no one would use a big stone to block the chicken coop.

A weasel can't move a few kilograms of stone, and it can't make a clever move, and a fox is stronger than a weasel.

The jump is light, the action is quick, and the character is quite cunning. Foxes in different environments have different IQs.

Every animal is particularly intelligent, such as pig gods, and some adult foxes have an IQ similar to that of five or six-year-old children.

Old foxes have a higher IQ and can even understand human speech, but their obedience is very low, and they are of little use except for selling fur.

What people in mountainous areas hate most is the fox. It is more capable of "robbing houses" late at night than weasels. As long as there are no heavy stones blocking the chicken coop, it can almost move away.

And the action is alert and silent, it is difficult for people to hear it coming. The most annoying thing is that this thing kills the hen after it is full.

Before leaving, he will also imitate the hen's "cluck and cluck". It can fool people and deceive people. It is a very powerful animal.

How about calling it and the weasel "Daxian".

These two things took a lot of work. Now the wall covered with yellow mud, the weasel can directly stick to the wall and climb up to the roof without any effort, and it can even fall down.

There is a legend that a fox can turn into a beautiful woman, and even become "the third great master of the mountain god."

The Age of Mythology is still possible, but it's just nonsense at the moment.

"When I get home and make something, I'll come and clean it up the night after tomorrow!"

After hearing this, the loudspeaker asked in confusion: "Why the day after tomorrow? Why is it coming again tonight?"

"The day after tomorrow is early, the fox is cunning, even if you come tonight to observe the situation." Wu Hao reassured the speaker, and he went out to find Wu Gang to make something.

There is actually a lot of food in winter now, there are many rats and mountain rats, and foxes can catch pheasants and the like.

But it’s definitely not as easy as catching a domestic chicken. It’s fine to eat one, but it’s actually rambunctious. It will come to check whether it’s safe in the past two nights. When people relax their vigilance, they will come to steal chickens in two days, and they will keep an eye on the family endlessly. up.

The weasel is different. It comes tonight. If it doesn’t come tomorrow night, it will come the day after tomorrow. No fox can bear it. If you don’t care, it will come every day. It may not eat poultry, but it will kill them all.

It seems that they are very confident and not afraid of death, maybe because their offspring will take revenge. One of the more powerful things about them is that they know who to seek revenge.

Wu Hao bought some steel wire, a canvas bag and a spring bow from a store where no one was around, and found Wu Gang, asking him to make a wooden door as big as the chicken coop of Big Trumpet's house.

It was just a matter of a few small boards. Wu Gang went to measure the size, and when he came back, he quickly finished the door and installed four frames.

The canvas bag Wu Hao bought was thin and long, and the front opening was wider than the wooden door. He used steel wire to prop the inside of the bag open.

The shape is like an exhaust duct, the front end of the pocket is stretched and fixed on the four frames of the wooden door, and a bow is nailed on the outside of the wooden door.

A fox can open any small door. This is a trap door. It pushes the door open and walks into the canvas pocket, and the bow will pull the door shut.

Will the fox be so smart?It always drills into the chicken coop and will definitely enter. It is darker in the chicken coop in the dark, and it can't see anything.

Cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. The fox thinks that humans change doors to block it, and it is cheap to hold grudges. The more it guards against it, the more it will convince people!
Humans make money and birds die for food. All creatures have weaknesses. Eating is the weakness of most animals.

Wu Hao went home with the trap door he had made, and walked into the courtyard to watch the two minks sleeping on the carriage.

These two guys have round stomachs, and their sleeping positions are more interesting, basking in the sun on their backs, in the same position as children, with their front paws up on both sides of their heads.

"Do the two uncles need a massage?" Seeing that they were not moving, Wu Hao said again: "The fox is here to steal the chicken, you two go out for a walk."

The two ferrets didn't even move their eyelids, and the rise and fall of their abdomens was very small, as if they were asleep and didn't hear them. Animals are animals. If you look closely, you will find that the tail sways occasionally.

These two things can't be counted on if they don't pretend to be asleep, unless they are very quiet, or they are led into the mountains to hunt, otherwise they will just eat and sleep.

It's definitely not easy for a fox to dare to enter his own house. Now it's almost like "retiring from the rivers and lakes" and doesn't care about other people's affairs.

Foxes can also be big or small, and their combat power should not be underestimated. The yellow-throated marten singled out a big fox. It was really desperate. If you win, you may be seriously injured. Some foxes are more than twice as big as it.

They can fight two-on-one, the small one will bite to death, and the big one will run away. They will not kill easily, and they are not tigers.

Wu Hao lowered the trap door and went into the house to continue lying down. He couldn't count on the two "uncles" at night. The yellow-throated marten was arrogant, and it was nonsense to let them lie in other people's yards to catch prey.

In the winter, I must go back to the warehouse to sleep.

The next day the big trumpet came and told him that the fox hadn't stolen the chicken, but there were footprints in the snow to the east.

"I'll go to the trap tonight." Wu Hao told Big Speaker to go home with peace of mind.

He and old Wu Zhacao cleaned up the pigsty, and when it was getting dark, they took the trap door to Da Louba's house, knocked down the original door with Da Zhang Luo, and then installed the trap door.

"What is this?" Da Zhangluo didn't know this thing, and he was very angry in his heart. Chicken Jingui killed four at a time, and he wanted revenge.

"Happy Hen."

Wu Hao didn't come up with this name, there are many old hunters in Changbai Mountain who used this trick, so they came up with the name there.

Many old hunters will pass on their skills to their apprentices or descendants, which is similar to teaching martial arts in ancient times, and they will not teach outsiders easily.

Da Zhang laughed and said, "It should be called Hu Jianchou."

If the fox really went in, it would definitely not be able to escape.

"A cunning fox can't escape the hunter's grasp. This trick is not good enough to make me change it."

Wu Hao has a lot of tricks to deal with the fox, the simplest one is to block its lair, don't want to go into the mountains these two days, just sit back and wait for the rabbit to save effort.

He lifted the original stone to block the door frame. The fox is clever and strange, and it would doubt if there is no stone to block it.

There are stones guarding against it, but it has to be broken away.

The very proud guy is also bullying and afraid of the hard, and will sneak away and hide when he meets tigers, leopards and bears.

The next day the fox didn't steal the chicken, so Wu Hao removed the trap door to let the chicken out for a walk, and then closed the door again at night.

As soon as I left the house after dinner in the morning, I saw Da Zhang coming with a trap door, and there was still something moving in the canvas pocket.

Entering the courtyard "haha" laughed loudly: "I really caught it!"

Wu Hao took out the crate used to catch the piglets last time and aimed it at the small door, waiting for Da Zhang to put the fox in, and he took a look.

This guy has a slender body, a narrow face, a pointed mouth, short legs, and a big fluffy tail dragging behind his buttocks.

Reddish-brown fur, light-colored chest, doesn't look too sneaky, like an old chicken thief.

It has a full set of its own, and now its fur is shaking with fright, its blue eyes are rolling around, and its tail is raised to let out a pungent anger.

Two minks were standing on the carriage baring their teeth. When the mountain donkey entered the house and the owner fed the mountain donkey, they pulled it down at a glance.

The predator wanted to fight as soon as it entered the yard. If the fox hadn't been trapped, they would have gone to fight in the morning.

Now the fox let out a fit of anger, and the two minks ran to the door of the barn before stopping to watch. The fox dared to run away, but they would chase after it even if they tried their best.

This is a matter of territory and "face", which must be dealt with.

Xiaodoubao smelled it as soon as it opened the door, and wrinkled its nose, "Oh!" She couldn't describe the smell, so she closed the door and ran into the house.

Wu Hao and Da Zhang also stayed away, they took out the sacks and fanned the wind at the gate, waiting for the smell to dissipate.

Wu Weiguo went out to look around and said to himself: "Good coat color, thick needle-pile fleece, and the tip of the tail is not white yet. He's not an old guy, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught so soon."

Turn around and ask: "How many footprints are here today?"

Dazhang replied: "It seems that this fox has been here for the past two days."

Wu Weiguo looked at his son: "Either let them go, or catch both of them and sell them."

Wu Hao looked at the fox and thought, now is the breeding season of foxes, and male foxes will fight fiercely to win the right of female "mate".

When the male takes a fancy to the female fox and wins, he will carry out a complicated "marriage proposal" method.

When they are finished, the male will also pack a warm and comfortable den for the female fox.

During the pregnancy period, the female fox looks for food for her intimately, including after the cubs are born, she will also be responsible for the food and drink expenses of the cubs, and guard the safety of the wife and children.

They will also give gifts to their "lover", including delicious mice, hares, exquisite stones, shiny metal, glass blocks, flowers, branches and other things that attract their attention, so as to make the vixen happy.

Moreover, after the fox chooses a mate, it will remain monogamous, and this behavior is more obvious in male foxes.

If the vixen dies unexpectedly, the male will look after the offspring alone and will not find another mate.

It's a survival strategy, rather than dying in a fight, it's better to conserve energy and keep a family alive.

Bad people have their advantages, and so do bad animals. When a fox has a "mate", it is true that he will be loyal to love.

But when the male fox dies, the female will "remarry".

Now catch a male "licking dog".
