Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 514 Preparations
"How does it compare to macular skin?" Liu Junhao asked unconvinced when Mr. Xiao said that the earth leopard was so ferocious.

"The next step is to talk about the yellow spot, this thing is stupid and bold. Even a single yellow spot can't beat the earth leopard, but a few together can definitely drive the earth leopard away. In the early years, the yellow spot in Daqingshan They are very popular, and one can only sell for two oceans." Xiao Baocai explained.

"Then what's going on with 'I'd rather mess with the local leopard than the yellow spot'" Liu Junhao asked again.

"When you meet a leopard on the mountain, as long as you don't run away in a hurry, and look at it for a few minutes, the thing will usually turn around and leave. The macula is different. It will stick to the prey when it meets it, and it is the same when it meets people. In a word."

It turns out that when I said this, I completely misunderstood it. I used to think that macular skin could win a fight with a soil leopard.

"Grandpa, tell us about your hunting in the early years." Last year, Liu Junhao didn't ask much about Xiao Baocai's youth when he went up the mountain to hunt wild boars in a hurry. Today, seeing the opportunity, he asked.

"If you want to say when I started hunting, that's a good idea," Xiao Baocai said with a hint of pride on his face, "I was not yet 15 years old at the time, and at first I was herding sheep for our landlord Guo Wansheng's family in Daqingshan. The hungry wolves took three of them away, and I went back and got whipped. At that time, the army of the Communist Party had not arrived, and we didn’t understand the truth, so we put our hatred for the landlord on the wolves. The wolves just hunted. At that time, the main thing was to set traps, and a wolf could sell for ten yuan, which was not a small sum. Later, as I slowly gained experience, I started to work as a hunter..."

"After liberation, the town set up a hunting professional team, and I was the first to sign up. You young people don't know that hunting was a very honorable thing at that time, and each hunter was given a hundred catties of wheat every month. Hunting pheasants and rabbits during the day It is called Dapo, aiming at wild boars, grass raccoons and hungry wolves at night, this is hunting.

I learned this skill from that time, rabbits have their way, wolves have their tracks.The badger drills the bottom of the ditch, and the fox slips up the mountainside.In addition, there are hungry wolves attacking grass raccoons in the dark.Before the wolf shoots, you must make some movement. The wolf will stop and observe when it hears the sound. At this time, aim for a shot to solve it.

The grass raccoon is a ghost and ghost, so it must be beaten quietly, and it will run away at the slightest disturbance, even if it is chased, it will not be able to catch up..."

Xiao Baocai couldn't finish talking about his proud things for three days and three nights.From hunting pheasants and rabbits to hunting wolves and leopards, and finally hunting tigers.

"Old man, do you think there are earth leopards in this mountain?" Seeing that he didn't stop, Wang Junfeng hurriedly stopped the conversation.

"It should be all gone. I haven't heard of anyone in any village seeing leopards and earth leopards in these years. I haven't seen the grass leopards in Xiaohao's family for some years. These few probably escaped by hiding in the mountains. If you want to find this thing, you'd better go deep into the mountains, anyway, it's impossible to find it on the outside." Mr. Xiao was also a little disappointed at the end, "After all, I fought too hard a few years ago, and I didn't know it at the time. Protect."

"Grandpa, do you think there may still be cats in that area, please mark it for us?" Wang Junfeng said as he took out a map of Daqingshan from his backpack.Although Mr. Xiao confirmed that the earth leopard and the leopard belong to different cats, but before seeing the actual individual, this kind of confirmation is of little value.

"Bullshit, I don't even know a few big characters, but I can understand your whole map." Xiao Baocai waved his hand and said, "Let me say a few place names and let Xiaohao mark them on it."

"No problem," Liu Junhao nodded in response.

Xiao Baocai casually mentioned a dozen locations, and he marked them all down.

At the end of the day, the old man warmly asked them to have lunch at home, but they were rejected by everyone.When they were about to leave the door, Xiao Baocai slapped his thigh and shouted, "I almost forgot about it. Seven or eight years ago, a friend of mine went to the mountains to collect herbs. Invite me to go and have a look. Dama Mountain is too far away, so I didn’t go there because I have bad legs and feet. You can also go there to look for it, maybe you will find something new.”

"Hanging claws?" Liu Junhao didn't know what the word meant.

"Oh, cats have the habit of sharpening their claws, just like dogs like to pee everywhere to leave smells, cats use paw marks to indicate that a certain area is its "territory". In unfamiliar places, they generally seldom hang The phenomenon of claws. Tigers and leopards often hang claws on the tree trunks in the activity area, so this kind of traces become an important reference for judging whether there are big cats in the nearby area." Wang Junfeng explained for Xiao Baocai.

"That's how it feels. I said how often the clouded leopards at home grind their claws." Although Liu Junhao has been feeding clouded leopards for more than a year, he really doesn't know much about cats.

Everyone was a long-distance mountain walker, and it was not a big deal to go back and forth for nearly twenty miles. It was just after eleven o'clock when they rushed back to Liujiagou.

Liu Junhao enthusiastically invited everyone to his home for dinner. Although he couldn't do some research work for them, he still could afford a meal.

Wang Junfeng agreed after a little refusal, and they will live together in the next few days, so it would be better to get in touch with each other as soon as possible.

The dishes are very easy to clean up, go to the backyard to catch some eels, and then kill one of the wild rabbits raised by myself.

With good ingredients and good craftsmanship, everyone ate a meal full of praise, and even said that the trip was worthwhile.

Satisfied with wine and food, Liu Junhao led them to see the badger cave outside his courtyard.Badgers seldom appear during the day, but these few outside Liu Junhao's house are very face-saving.

When they came to the entrance of the cave, Liu Junhao yelled a few times at the top of his voice, and immediately there were screams in response from the cave, and soon a few fat big guys appeared.

Liu Junhao is so familiar with them mainly because of the rice field eels and big-flowered melons in the backyard.

Just this summer, at least seven or eight big flower skins were lost in Liu Junhao's courtyard, all of which were ruined by this thing.Fortunately, hog badgers are omnivorous animals, and earthworms, loaches, eels, snakes, and voles are all their food.In summer, the wormwood bushes outside the courtyard are rich in food sources, so the family's big flower skin did not suffer further losses.

Otherwise, if it continues like this, Liu Junhao will drive them out long ago.

Because of the frequent contacts, the pig badger is very familiar with Liu Junhao's smell, and came out of the cave with a low voice, and kept sucking and sniffing by his side.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Junfeng and others hurriedly took out their cameras to take pictures.

Although they have been studying cats for five or six years, there are very few opportunities for real face-to-face contact with wild animals. Most of them see these mysterious things in the videos shot by infrared trigger cameras.

When they came to Daqingshan, they found that the trip was worthwhile.First of all, the heron in the woods outside Liu Junhao's courtyard made everyone exclaim for a long time. Many birds that are rare in the wild can also be found near Liujiagou.

There are also clouded leopards and leopard cats, two animals can live together.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the foxes." After shooting the badger, Liu Junhao took everyone to the river beach again.In the afternoon, Zhang's mother went to Liujiagou by car, so Zhang Qian stayed at home, and he was at leisure.

"We've seen your wife's article about foxes on the Internet. It's very vivid." Hearing that he was going to see foxes, Du Bo interjected.

"It's not vivid." Liu Junhao responded modestly.

Going down to the river beach, two yellow spots opened the way in front of them, which quickly startled a group of pheasants.Seven or eight colorful roosters, and a few gray hens.These guys flapped their wings and passed slowly past everyone's eyes.Looking at it like that, it seems to be complaining that the uninvited guest disturbed their rest.

Xiaopi got up and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Liu Junhao.

The reed marshes in Liujiagou are dense, and large groups of pheasants and ducks are stationed in the marshes all the year round, and they grow more and more, which provides sufficient food for the foxes.

A few grass beavers have been moving in the reeds, and these guys are much more alarmed than the pig badgers.

Not long after Liu Junhao got down to the river beach, he saw the grass raccoon coming out of the reeds. Seeing an acquaintance, this guy immediately rushed over excitedly, not even paying attention to the two yellow spots.

"Liu Junhao, this fox is not afraid of people, so don't let anyone get caught." Wang Junfeng asked worriedly over there.

"Hehe, if you think too much, we are the only ones who can see it. Usually, this guy would run all the way to the reeds as soon as he heard a little wind, and disappeared without a trace. He is smarter than people. Some time ago, someone wanted to shoot For the photo of Caolizi, I stayed by the reeds for a week, but I didn’t even see a fox fur, and I only took a few pictures after calling me.” Liu Junhao replied with a smile.As for other animals, he is worried about being caught by humans. Foxes don’t need it at all. Their vigilance is beyond imagination. As long as there is a strange smell near the nest, they will immediately "move" that night to prevent accidents.

"Another one came out, and there are cubs!" At this time, the sharp-eyed Du Bo exclaimed.

There are three cubs of the grass raccoon in total. The little ones are afraid of humans, and they hide in the grass and refuse to come out. The mother grass raccoon called a few times to no avail.

"This is another litter. Last year's litter of cubs went to the mountains. I met them when I went up the mountain some time ago." Liu Junhao explained.

Originally, they wanted to lead them to continue the tour, but Zhang Qian called and said that Zhang's mother had arrived in the town and would come over immediately in a numb car.

Liu Junhao had no choice but to finish the introduction and hurried back with everyone.

There are guests coming at home, Wang Junfeng and others didn't bother them too much, but just told them to go up the mountain tomorrow to bring all the necessary equipment.

After stopping at home for less than 10 minutes, the numb car drove to the door of Liu Junhao's house.Zhang Qian told her on the phone not to bring anything, they have everything here.Unexpectedly, Zhang's mother promised, and she still brought a few bags of children's clothes and toys when she came.

I haven't seen my grandson for two months, so Zhang's mother is naturally too affectionate, holding the eldest and younger two and talking all the time.

The little ones also showed face and kept laughing at Mama Zhang, which made the old lady very happy.
