Wang Tianxin thought, this old man really knows no restraint.
I ignored you, why do you keep dragging me to talk? Don’t you have to talk to me about you.
He was about to get up when he saw Cui Wanshan smiling at him, as if he was trying to see what he would do.
Finally... still endure it abruptly.
Just didn't speak.
Wang Tianxiao saw that Liu Yuan was so persistent, so he couldn't continue to say anything. In fact, he also understood Liu Yuan's psychology. After all, in this kind of hunting, one person has to play a role.
It’s not just the function of backpacking.
Fighting with wild beasts, Lao Liu knew that he couldn't stand it, so this kind of vigilance task must be taken over, which can be regarded as playing a certain role.
Since this is the case, then don't continue to deprive him of the work of exerting heat.
It was getting dark gradually, and the tent openings were lowered and tied up.
Cui Wanshan lives in the innermost, then Wang Tianxin, then Wang Tianxiao, and the outermost is Liu Yuan.
Both Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan put the bullets in the guns, and put the guns where they could be easily grasped.
In this kind of wilderness, although it is snowy, it is difficult to guarantee that no wild beast will touch it by taking advantage of the smell.
There is a tent blocking it, as long as you don't sleep to death, there will be no big problem.
Actually, Wang Tianxiao himself sleeps very lightly.
On a night like this, he is ready to not fall into a deep sleep.
Although Liu Yuan undertook the security task, it would be bad if the old man dozed off.
So before going to bed, he secretly told Cui Wanshan that the two came in rotation.
In the first half of the night, Cui Wanshan went to sleep, and after waking up, he went to bed himself.
However, if the rotation is to be carried out secretly, Liu Yuan must not find out, or the old man's self-esteem will be broken.
Actually neither Wang Tianxiao nor Cui Wanshan thought the old man was useless.
Carrying so many things along the way and being able to walk for such a long time is already very impressive.
Young people who don’t have much mountaineering experience can’t do this.
Wang Tianxin is a typical example.
Hunting is fighting, food and supplies are equally important, without Lao Liu carrying these things on his back, what would everyone eat at night.
Everything is ready, everyone rests separately.
In the darkness, Wang Tianxin's snoring soon became earth-shattering.
Liu Yuan was still lighting the smoke pot at first, but when he heard Wang Tianxiao cough a few times, he gently stretched out the end of the smoke pot and got it wet.
The tent fell into complete darkness.
In the middle of the night, I don't know when the wind blew up.
The wind and snow slapped against the tent, making a loud bang.
Wang Tianxiao woke up in a daze, turned over and sat up.
"Old Wang, are you awake?"
"Well, are you okay?"
"There seems to be something wrong."
Cui Wanshan said softly.
Wang Tianxin was separated between the two of them. The young man didn't know how to feel sad, and he was sleeping soundly.
And Liu Yuan at the door had also fallen asleep at some point.
It seems that the old people feel less, and it is not certain.
"What's wrong?"
"Listen carefully."
In the darkness, Wang Tianxiao could only vaguely see Cui Wanshan's hand on his mouth, probably making a silent movement.
He calmed down his heartbeat and listened carefully.
I didn't feel anything at first, but gradually, I heard something was wrong outside.
On the snow, there was a rustling sound.
At first he thought it was the sound of wind blowing leaves or branches, but after careful identification, he found that it was not.
When the wind blows leaves or branches, it will start suddenly, and then disappear quickly and silently.
But this rustling sound has obviously existed for a long time.
"Wolf?"
He lowered his voice and asked.
"I guess so."
Both of them are quite familiar with wolves, and they suddenly became concerned.
Tonight is different from last time.
Last time, he was the only one with a single gun, and he was the only one with the strongest combat effectiveness.
But with Cui Wanshan as his helper tonight, he has a lot of courage.
Although Cui Wanshan's marksmanship is not as good as his, but Cui Wanshan is very calm and has good skills.
It is said that Cui Wanshan was the one who was naked with a leopard back then.
Wang Tianxiao gave a sign to go out, touched the spear next to him, checked the gun lightly, then stepped past Liu Yuan lightly, opened the curtain of the tent at a very fast speed, rushed outside, and instantly aimed the gun at someone who was moving. place.
Afterwards, Cui Wanshan also came out immediately.
Two guns, facing the front at the same time.
That power is not something that wolves can match.
Outside the tent, there were indeed wolves.
And there are two small, thin-looking snow wolves.
Under the light of the snow, the wolf's fur was pale white.
Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan went out so fast and lightly that the two wolves didn't react at all.
When he saw the jet-black muzzle pointing at him, it was too late to run.
They looked at Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan in a daze, and stood there for a while, as if they had been tapped.
Cui Wanshan pointed the gun at the two wolves.
Hand on strike.
Always ready to shoot and kill.
At this time, the two wolves realized that, to the astonishment of Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan, one of the wolves actually put its front legs on the ground and buried its head in the snow.
The other wolf also lay prone on the ground gently, leaning against its partner.
Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan looked at each other, both of them were very surprised.
Familiar with the habits of wolves, they know that once a wolf assumes this posture, it is a sign of submission.
It is often used when wolves are defeated in battle.
They had never seen, or even imagined, that wolves would perform such actions on humans.
Soon, Wang Tianxiao knew what the two wolves were doing.
They are actually looking for edible bones and leftover meat in the place where they ate at night while everyone is sleeping.
I don’t know why they took such a big risk to find food in places where humans are active.
It can be seen that the two wolves look very weak, and they really look like they haven't eaten for a long time.
But even if they are hungry, their behavior is still very abnormal.
It is not normal for this kind of beast to be hungry outside. Even if it is discovered by others, it will either fight or run away. At worst, it will die. Why should it show surrender to people?
They are proud wolves.
It's not a dog.
"Old Wang, look at that belly over there."
Wang Tianxiao noticed the wolf lying on its side on the ground, and found that her belly seemed to be bigger than the wolf next to it.
"Could it be..."
"Yes, this is a female wolf, and she is pregnant. It's just because she looks too thin, so I didn't see it for a while."
"So speaking, they are actually looking for food so that the female wolf can replenish energy."
"Well, probably so."
Wang Tianxiao suddenly wanted to understand why these two wolves were reduced to such a point.
Or because they are snow wolves.
The fighting power of the snow wolf is definitely not as good as that of the moon wolf, and it is still a foreigner in this mountain forest, and it lacks the protection of the ethnic group.
Wild animals all have a strong sense of territory. The two of them are weak, and it is impossible to delineate their own hunting range. Instead, they may be regarded as ready-to-hunt targets by other wild animals.
Therefore, I ran to the edge where the two peaks meet to try my luck.
And it was still snowing.
Beasts generally try their best to avoid hunting in snowy weather, because their sense of smell, hearing, and running speed are all affected by snowy weather.
Thinking of running out, it must be really forced.
Perhaps this is the power of parents.
The couple of two wolves, they can bear without food, but the children in their stomachs have to absorb nutrition, which makes them have no choice but to fight the danger of being shot and come here to try their luck.
Unexpectedly, it was discovered by humans.
At this moment, the male wolf is still lying down, trying to lower its posture as much as possible, hoping that humans can let them go.
The female wolf gently rubbed her head against the neck of the male wolf.
Constantly comfort it.
let out a low moan.
If Wang Tianxiao could understand the words of the wolf, he must be saying: "Don't be sad, life and death are fate. Now that we have reached this point, we can only accept our fate. It doesn't matter. As long as we stay together, we are not afraid of anything."
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Wang Tianxin and Liu Yuan both came out at this time, and when they took a closer look, there were two wolves lying on the ground, and they immediately backed away in fright.
"How could there be wolves!"
Seeing more and more people coming out, the female wolf also put her head on the ground, holding a similar posture to the male wolf.
"Old Cui?"
Wang Tianxiao couldn't bear it.
He is soft-hearted.
Can't see this kind of psychic animal.
Especially watching the two wolves love each other deeply as husband and wife, and are willing to take risks for their children, it is even more commendable.
Everything has a spirit, and it is not easy for every kind of creature to live.
Everyone is afraid of wolves, but life is also difficult for wolves.
But if he let it go like this, he didn't know if it was the second Mr. Dong Guo.
Before, it was a moment of kindness that allowed the little jackal to survive. I didn't expect that guy not only didn't know how to advance and retreat, but became worse.
What if the two wolves are released back, and it turns into letting the tiger go back to the mountain again?
Thinking about it, it's a bit of a dilemma.
"You don't want to kill them?"
Cui Wanshan understood what Wang Tianxiao meant, and they had a tacit understanding.
"That's fine, just give them a chance to survive. Tianxin, take out one of the ropes we prepared."
"good."
Wang Tianxin quickly took out the ropes one by one, and carefully handed them to Cui Wanshan.
"Old Wang, you look at the wolf with a gun."
"what are you up to?"
"Don't you want them to die? You can't just put them back like this. The wolves know our whereabouts. If they want to take personal revenge, then we are more dangerous. First control them, and when we go back, let them go." Just open it."
"It's... well, there is no other way. I can't watch a pregnant wolf be killed. It's too cruel."
"Well, I know that everything has a spirit. People who have been parents can't see it. Don't have a psychological burden. Animals are not necessarily ungrateful."
Cui Wanshan comforted Wang Tianxiao.
It is precisely because he knows Wang Tianxiao's character that he can understand his behavior.
Since we are good friends, we must help each other.
Killing these two wolves was just a thought, but it may have left a long-term psychological shadow in Wang Tianxiao's heart since then.
In this case, why not take a step back.
Cui Wanshan picked up the rope, looked at the wolf, and said to Wang Tianxin, "Tianxin, bring me two more pieces of meat."
"Ah, you want to feed the wolves?"
"Tianxin, just go in and get it." Wang Tianxiao also said.
"All right."
Wang Tianxin quickly took two pieces of meat, the same as the meat roasted at night, and cut them into skewers.
Cui Wanshan came to the wolf with the meat, first threw a piece to the female wolf, and said with a smile: "My brother is kind, and I don't want to hurt your life, but I am worried that you are not as kind as him, so I will tie you up with a rope." stand up.
But don’t worry, when we tie you up, we will give you food and drink to ensure that you can survive. If you are interested, maybe I can give you some bear meat.
I know that you can read my eyes and know that I am not malicious at the moment, so don't resist, otherwise, we will have to kill you. "
Looking at the meat thrown in front of him, and then at Cui Wanshan, the two wolves seemed to understand what Cui Wanshan meant. The male wolf gently pushed the meat in front of the female wolf with his mouth, while still keeping his head down.
"Old Wang, come here and watch the she-wolf for me."
"good."
Just in case, Wang Tianxiao approached the two wolves and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the head of the female wolf.
At such a close range, with five or six half bullets, if the female wolf tries to resist at all, her head will be blown apart.
"I'll tie you up first, don't resist."
Cui Wanshan made a rope into a loop and gently put it into the male wolf's neck. The moment the male wolf put the rope on, he seemed a little nervous, the hair on his neck stood up, and his body was shaking desperately.
But in the end he did nothing.
Still just lying on the stomach quietly.
Watching the rope being put around its neck.
"Okay, that's right, just wait on the side." Cui Wanshan saw that the male wolf was going well, so he made another loop in the middle of the rope, and slowly put it around the female wolf's neck.
The male wolf did not resist, and the female wolf even less.
She just looked at her partner quietly. If she didn't look carefully, she would think it was a gentle dog.
The rope used by Cui Wanshan is made of six-strand rope, which has been repeatedly soaked in tung oil. From a certain point of view, it is even stronger than iron wire. Once it is put into the wolf's neck, unless humans help to untie it, it is impossible for the wolf to break free or bite it off.
Two wolves are tied to a rope. Even if they want to run, they can't use it at all, and they will soon fall because of each other's fetters.
is the most suitable method.
"alright."
Cui Wanshan put the meat in front of the two, and asked Wang Tianxin to put water in bowls for them respectively.
"Eat, we don't have enough food for the time being, so you can only pad your stomach. When we hunt and kill the bear and leave it for you, you will be full."
The two wolves looked at him silently, and at first they didn't dare to eat meat, but there was no malice in the kind eyes they looked at him, and the meat in front of them tasted so delicious, so they couldn't hold back.
The female wolf swallowed the meat in one gulp.
The aroma of pork replenished the power, which made her almost moan with joy.
The male wolf bites off the meat lightly, eats half of it directly, and pushes the remaining half to the female wolf.
Then he looked at the female wolf helplessly.
Everyone who saw this move was very moved.
Especially Wang Tianxin, who was so moved that he almost cried.
"Brother, look how good their relationship is."
Wang Tianxiao didn't say a word.
Liu Yuan said on the sidelines: "Aren't animals the same as humans, they also have various emotions. The wolf is actually a very affectionate animal, and rarely does things that betray one's promise. It's just that what humans are most afraid of is accidents.
If their temper suddenly goes wrong, it will hurt humans. This is actually understandable, the dog at home sometimes goes crazy and even bites the owner. It is not uncommon for a male wolf and a female wolf to depend on each other.
On the contrary, it is difficult to make men and women like this. If both of them are starving and only have one bite of food, how many men and women are willing to give it to each other, and how many people can still think about the child in the woman's stomach? Woolen cloth. "
Wang Tianxiao looked at him and sighed: "It can only be said that any life has its brilliance, and we will not think that these animals are very great and deserve special treatment just because they also have the emotions that humans respect.
Everything still depends on whether they will harm humans. If the greatness of their emotions is based on sacrificing human beings, it is not something we can accept, even if it is good.
Compassion and sympathy are natural, but they cannot be without principles and purposes. I let go of that jackal last time because I felt that a little jackal was really pitiful, but it also caused the tragedy that followed.
Hopefully, the same mistakes will not be repeated this time. "
Wang Tianxiao went in again, took a piece of meat, and threw it in front of the male wolf. Both the male wolf and the female wolf were thin and weak, but the female wolf obviously had a lot of energy. Added, I'm afraid it won't last long.
The male wolf looked at the meat in front of him, and then at Wang Tianxiao, as if he wanted to show his favor to him, but he didn't know how to express it.
"Eat, eat, when your children are born and your family grows slowly, you will be able to gain a foothold here. You wolves are like this, and we are also the same. Kindness is based on strength. When you have no strength time, there is no point in thinking about anything.”
The wolf groaned softly to Wang Tianxiao, bit the meat open again with his teeth, ate half of it himself, and gave half to the female wolf again.
The she-wolf pushed the meat over with her head.
It pushed it over again, and grinned slightly at the she-wolf.
The female wolf lowered her head and slowly chewed the meat into her stomach.
"Well, people are getting older and can't see these things."
Liu Yuan turned around and entered the tent.
Cui Wanshan looked at his watch, and said to Wang Tianxiao: "It's just after four o'clock, and there are still a few hours before dawn. Do you want to go in for a sleep meeting?"
"Go to sleep, Tianxin, you also go to sleep, and you still have to carry things during the day, so save your energy."
"Oh well."
"Brother, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I slept for a while, I am not sleepy now, I will help you keep the tent."
"Then I'm going to sleep."
Cui Wanshan and Wang Tianxin entered the tent, while Wang Tianxiao wrapped his coat tightly and sat silently a few meters away from the two wolves.
The two wolves ate some meat and drank some water, and their spirits improved a lot.
Looking at Wang Tianxiao's eyes again, he is not too guarded
