A lot of carnivorous animals just have to get them right from the start, and leopards are no exception. Otherwise, once that guy gets the sweetness, he will definitely keep harassing him. Losing sheep and dogs is a trivial matter, and another tragedy of children being taken away is a human tragedy.
"Would you like a cigarette?"
Cui Wanshan took out a cigarette and took one himself.
"Oh, no."
"Haha, you still listen to your wife very much. According to the people in Sichuan, you are just scratching your ears. But your wife is really good. I don't envy you for other things, but I envy you for marrying Lili." Such a good woman, this is your greatest blessing."
Hearing that his wife was being praised, Wang Tianxiao was naturally happy, and said with a smile: "Who says it is not? I have worked hard for half my life, and the only happiness I have is to have a good wife and two good children. If there is no Lili, I will not be here." How about this."
"That is, that is."
Cui Wanshan felt a little depressed when he thought about his marriage.
The two walked slowly towards the southeast from the west peak of Yangziling, not very fast.
The two dogs also stopped while walking, and the snow did not affect their pace. From time to time, they turned their heads and barked at the two of them. They probably didn't understand why the two owners walked so slowly today.
Going down like this, you can reach the southeast **** in about an hour.
Sudden-
Ah Ying suddenly roared at the distant mountain.
Gale was still confused at first, but soon followed her sister and began to shout, her tail straightened up, appearing very angry and excited.
Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan's eyes tightened, and they looked into the distance, but saw nothing.
The two exchanged glances again, took the gun off their shoulders, squatted on the ground, and held the gun to inspect the distant mountain peaks.
I read it twice alternately, but still didn’t find it.
But the dogs have lost their temper and are ready to get out at any time~
In this case, there is only one possibility. There are hidden wild animals nearby, which cannot be seen by people, but the dogs can smell the wild animals.
"Be careful, go and have a look."
"good."
Cui Wanshan threw the cigarette **** in his hand into the snow, stamped it out, and pressed it back down with snow.
The relaxed smiles on the faces of the two converged.
Because of the lessons learned, Wang Tianxiao never kept the dogs too far away from him when he came out this time. The dogs lacked mature hunting experience and had no advantage over many wild animals in the mountains.
It is easy to fall into the trap of wild animals.
Otherwise, how could Dahei be murdered?
Song Yang looked up at the golden eagle in the air, waved his arms lightly, and the golden eagle immediately flew over and circled directly above them.
Tread—
Tread—
The two people and the two dogs continued to **** forward.
"Could it be a snow wolf?"
Cui Wanshan hesitated.
Wang Tianxiao shook his head, "It's hard to say, the beasts hidden in the snow are not necessarily snow wolves, many beasts can be hidden. Because when we look at the snow, the reflection is too strong, and it is difficult to maintain a stable line of sight for a long time."
"Too."
"This shit, no matter what it is, it should not be underestimated."
"Oh, yes."
Ordinary wild animals in the mountains will not actively lock their eyes on people.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not attack people. If I see people from a distance, I will run far away and hide in a place where people will not go.
Guys like this who don't run away for a long time after seeing people and know how to hide are all cunning among wild animals, and they are also more difficult to deal with.
Wang Tianxiao couldn't help but think of the jackal that hasn't been found yet.
If it is it, it is not surprising that it can do such a thing.
Well, this time I came out for the wild boar. It would be a lucky thing if this guy can be dealt with smoothly.
The lifespan of a jackal is generally more than ten years. If it is already so difficult at a young age, it is really hard to predict how cunning it will be when it gets bigger in the future.
The two walked for a while, and suddenly Gouzi stood still.
"Aying? Gale?"
Wang Tianxiao found that the two dogs were a little confused, running around back and forth, but couldn't find the direction to go.
Know that this is a sign of losing the target of the prey.
"Can't find it?"
Wang Tianxiao squatted down and touched Aying's head. Aying lowered her head and groaned.
It is indeed lost.
Wang Tianxiao set up the gun again, and looked around for a long time, except for the vast snow-capped mountains, he couldn't see anything clearly.
Gouzi can't smell it, he can't see it, so there is really nothing to do.
"Forget it, it might be something, it ran away."
Wang Tianxiao didn't care too much.
Comfort Gouzi, then move on with Cui Wanshan.
Just now, I followed wild animals, took some detours, and then went back to the original path. After walking for less than 40 minutes, I had already turned the east direction, and I could see the southeast **** of the mountain.
"It's really spectacular!"
Standing in the due east, because of the field of view, the mountain you see is a small piece, as if the radius is not very big.
But when you go around to the south, you can see that the whole mountain seems to be a long snow-white belt. I don't know where it will stretch, as if it is going to the end of the world.
"It is the long strip of mountains like Mengbaling that can have this kind of scenery. If you are in other places, you may not be able to see it." Cui Wanshan said with emotion.
"Isn't that right, we are on the other side of Ziwu Ridge, but we can't see this kind of scenery."
"That is."
Wang Tianxiao was talking to Cui Wanshan while looking around at the situation in the distance, and found a small bush more than a thousand meters ahead.
Or coniferous forest.
Because the location is far away, it is not very clear.
Not far from the woods, you can see many dry trees without a leaf on them, which should be oak trees.
There are not many oaks in Ziwuling Mountains, except for Mengbaling, which is a pheasant mountain to the west. The two places have a common feature, that is, they are shorter than the surrounding mountains, so they are very suitable for the growth of oak trees.
With oak trees, it is easy to attract some mustelids, and it also attracts wild boars.
In winter, the wild boar can eat less. After all, it is an omnivore, not a pure carnivorous beast like jackals, so the hunting ability of wild boars can be almost ignored.
If you want to fill your stomach, you must find a way.
On weekdays, they eat some hay, tree roots and bushes for a living. Once the heavy snow blocks the ground, the food will be extra tight, and they will run under the oak tree to eat the acorns buried in the snow.
Although this is a bit of stealing food from mustelids, they don't care.
"In this way, we will divide into two groups to look for possible traces left by wild boars, each with a dog. The snow stopped this morning. If wild boars have appeared, there should be hoof prints, even if the hoof prints are not Clearly, it also leaves a scent that dogs can sniff out."
Cui Wanshan nodded, "Okay, wild boars are relatively dull, and generally don't think about changing routes. If we go to certain places today, we will definitely continue to take the same route tomorrow. We just need to find a better location and we can relax. .”
"Haha, I think so, but I don't know if I have such good luck. Everything is accidental."
"That's true."
"It seems that you can go up both sides. I will go this way, and you will go that way with a strong wind. If you encounter an accident, please stay still and tell Xiao Liu to come to me. Be careful."
Wild boars don't like to attack people, but if they encounter them suddenly and enter their warning area, then everything is not good. Like bears, they have a strong sense of territory.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've come to the mountains. But you should also pay attention to it, wild boars like to walk on the mountainside, and the possibility of me being at the bottom of the valley is much smaller."
Cui Wanshan did not forget to explain to Wang Tianxiao that both of them have strong field knowledge. Of course, they all understand this knowledge. The reason for emphasizing it is only out of emotional concern.
"Okay," Wang Tianxiao looked at his watch, "It's 10 minutes to 3:00 p.m. No matter what the effect is, we have to gather. See if there is any mountain depression over there, where will we gather at that time, so that we can shelter from the wind and the severe cold."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and added: "If you haven't come back by 5 o'clock, then something went wrong or you encountered an accident. Just follow the original path to search. Xiao Liu is in the sky, so it's easy to find."
"Okay, that's it."
The two of them discussed it and went separately.
Wang Tianxiao patted Ah Ying on the neck, let her lead the way, and followed closely with his gun and package on his back.
The golden eagle in the air is still hovering above his head.
He raised the golden eagle since he was a child. Except for Liu Yuan, he likes to follow him. Even if he wants to follow Cui Wanshan, it will not go.
Song Yang didn't mention this matter.
The two of them had two paths, Cui Wanshan took the direction of the valley, and Wang Tianxiao took the direction of the mountain. .
So Cui Wanshan has to continue to walk down, while Wang Tianxiao needs to go up obliquely. He is relatively more tired.
It was okay to walk at first, but after walking less than a kilometer, he was a little bit exhausted.
Walking in the snow is going to be harder on the land.
Low friction means that it takes more effort to stabilize the balance of the body. If you encounter an uphill road, it will be more dangerous.
He walked for a while and found that there was nothing he could do, so he had to put the package on Ah Ying and use the gun as a crutch himself, which made the situation better.
Seeing that the oak forest was getting closer and closer, and the dead branches of the trees could be seen with the naked eye, Wang Tianxiao stood up straight, ready to rest for a while before moving on.
At this moment, the dog suddenly let out a low whimper.
grinning at the front.
Wang Tianxiao followed Gouzi's gaze and suddenly found a black thing wriggling in the snow tens of meters in front of them.
Slowly leaned over, and heard a low growl of "huchihuchi".
It turned out to be a little boar.
This little wild boar looks no bigger than a dog. It feels like two or three months at most. It may be aware of the danger. It struggles to escape, but it seems that there is something wrong with one of its hind legs. It just struggles, but runs very fast. Slowly, Wang Tianxiao and Aying soon caught up.
Aying saw the wild boar, and immediately rushed forward, threatening to output it.
Although the wild boar was afraid, his natural wildness was also aroused. The dog was aggressive with it. It struggled to run a few steps at first, and when it found that it could not escape smoothly, it turned around and yelled at the dog.
Not weak at all.
Wang Tianxiao observed the appearance of the wild boar for a while, and found that its hind legs seemed to be bitten off by something, and there were still bite marks on its name, and the leg bones were pierced outside, which looked very terrifying.
It looks very painful.
Seeing this, Wang Tianxiao ignored the wild boar for the time being. With its appearance, it must not be able to run anywhere, even after a meal of roast suckling pig.
He told Ah Ying to keep an eye on the little wild boar, go around it, look around, and finally found a few very small footprints near the bushes.
But these footprints look like a small plum blossom, not the two-petal hoofprints of a wild boar, but rather like the footprints of a puppy.
Naturally, it is impossible to have such a small dog on this Mengbaling. Although the footprints of wolves are similar, they are larger than this one.
The answer is obvious, jackals.
Wang Tianxiao thought of this, and walked forward along the footprints for a certain distance. Although the jackals are already very cunning, they avoid leaving too many smells and marks, so try to choose to go under the oak tree. Ordinary animals may not be able to find their whereabouts.
That is to say, Wang Tianxiao is careful and has a certain purpose, so he didn't miss it.
However, he walked for a while, but saw nothing.
Footprints seem to disappear in place.
Looking in the direction ahead, there is a small bush, probably they have passed this bush.
Wang Tianxiao stood at the bush and looked into the distance. It is estimated that the width of the bush is more than 100 meters, and the thorns are intertwined. After entering, it is difficult for humans to walk an inch.
That is, jackals or mustelids can crawl under the bushes.
Forget it, I won’t look for it for now.
This kind of environment is not conducive to him moving forward, let's wait for Cui Wanshan to come over.
Since the little wild boar is here, it proves that the herd of wild boars must not be far from here, at least passing nearby.
Sure enough, after returning back and checking around the oak forest, they found traces of wild boar activity.
and Wang Tianxiao's deduction was correct. Looking at the last footprints that disappeared, it was indeed heading west.
He greeted the golden eagle hovering at low altitude, and the golden eagle swooped down and called Cui Wanshan with his message.
He himself came to the little wild boar to observe this guy up close.
Seeing Wang Tianxiao, a human being approaching, the little wild boar panicked, probably because it had never seen such a human being since it was born, and it was frightened when it suddenly saw such a guy who could walk upright.
However, it is estimated that it has been bleeding for too long, and now it does not have much energy to resist, and the sound of howling at Wang Tianxiao has also become much quieter, probably resigned to its fate.
Wang Tianxiao squatted beside it, carefully inspecting the injuries on its legs, and indeed saw very small tooth marks on the bones, which proved that it was bitten and thrown here, not a fall or a congenital disability.
If the nearby scene is not messy, it means that this is not the first scene, and it is probably injured and ran here.
No matter what, this wild boar has no way out.
The only ending waiting for it is death.
Wang Tianxiao put down the backpack, took out the prepared rope from it, made a rope ring to wrap around the little wild boar's neck, and dragged it down to the mountain col agreed with Cui Wanshan.
I have this little wild boar tonight, and it can be an extra meal.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the appointed location, just in time to see Cui Wanshan coming too.
He was very surprised to see the little wild boar he was carrying.
Wang Tianxiao then explained the whole story.
"It seems that the matter is not simple. I suspect that this wild boar cub is just a bait." Cui Wanshan thought for a while and said.
"Bait?"
Wang Tianxiao realized instantly, "You mean, this wild boar is to attract the wild boar's parents?"
"There is a possibility. Otherwise, since there are traces of jackals around, how can we keep it alive? The photos will definitely be eaten. I think the reason why they are still struggling is because they have bigger goals."
Wang Tianxiao nodded, "I think it's very possible if you say so. If you don't say anything else, just live as a jackal. It's really possible. Last time we met that pack of jackals..."
Wang Tianxiao stopped talking suddenly.
I wonder why this routine is so familiar.
Isn't this exactly the same method as the little jackal used last time?
