Chapter 202. Like the sea being beaten, the hound chasing the leopard
"Hahaha……"
On the big bed, Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang, who had already laid down and got into bed, laughed so hard that they burst into tears.
Li Baoyu and Jiechen, who were sitting nearby in anger just now, were also laughing so hard.
The Chinese language is broad and profound.
To describe a person who makes excuses for his failure, you can say that he is "living in the manhole", or that he is "living on the stove for a stomach ache".
At this time, Li Ruhai said that Zhang Yuanmin "can't cross the river and relies on his big crotch to hold the water." This sentence is not as insightful as the other two sentences, but it corresponds to Zhang Yuanmin's nickname of "big crotch."
"Xiao Li Ruhai, you are really good at playing the harp!" Zhang Yuanmin was also happy amidst the laughter of the crowd.
Talking, laughing, noisy, nothing urgent.
But while he was having fun, Zhang Yuanmin stretched out his crossed legs and wanted to kick Li Ruhai's crotch.
But he misjudged the length of his legs, kicked his foot into the air, and then hit his heel on the kang.
"Hahaha..." Seeing this scene, the laughter in the room became louder.
"Huh?" Wang Qiang bumped Zhao Jun with his shoulder and said with a smile: "You are talking like a sea today, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Haha..." Zhao Jun smiled and said: "I'm going out, excited!"
Zhao Jun explained Li Ruhai's state in one sentence. It was the first time for this child to travel far away in his life, and he was going crazy on his own. As Zhao Jun said, he was extremely excited.
"Okay, Brother Zhang." At this time, Li Baoyu winked at Zhang Yuanmin and said, "Lie down quickly. I'll turn off the light and go to bed."
Zhang Yuanmin understood Li Baoyu's hint and immediately responded: "Well, sleep."
After saying that, Zhang Yuanmin lay down.
"Hey?" Li Ruhai saw that everyone was about to go to bed and said hurriedly: "Let's chat for a while longer. What time is it? We usually stay here at home and we haven't slept either."
"You can't get up early tomorrow." Jiechen put the pillow and said, "Go to bed quickly."
Li Ruhai curled his lips, lifted a corner of the quilt, turned over and got into bed.
"I turned off the light." After Li Baoyu said that, he turned off the light.
As soon as the lights were turned off, Li Ruhai became even more excited. He kept chattering with his little mouth, saying that in the Zhao family gang, he deserved to sit on the third golden chair, Zhang Yuanmin sat on the fourth chair, and below him was Li Baoyu and the minister of peace.
Normally, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen would have to fight with him even if they couldn't argue. But at this time, the two of them were surprisingly silent.
Among the six, Li Ruhai was young, so everyone let him sleep on the kang when he was away from home. From him to the kang, they were Wang Qiang, Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Chen, and Li Baoyu.
As Li Ruhai rambled on, the other five people all turned their backs to Li Ruhai.
Even without an audience, Li Ruhai kept grinding for half an hour. Finally, he hummed softly and turned his back to the other five people.
After Li Ruhai closed his mouth, he also quickly closed his eyes.
But at this moment, Li Baoyu, who was sleeping on the edge of the kang, quietly sat up.
He pulled Xie Chen down, and Xie Chen also got up.
When Jie Chen reached back and grabbed Zhang Yuanmin, Zhang Yuanmin was breathing evenly and had obviously fallen asleep due to Li Ruhai's nagging.
Jie Chen put more force on his hands and woke up Zhang Yuanmin.
"Huh?" Zhang Yuanmin sat up and saw Li Baoyu turning on the light.
Zhang Yuanmin and Jiechen pulled a quilt, bypassed Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang, and headed towards Li Ruhaimeng.
As soon as Li Ruhai opened his eyes when he heard the noise, he felt a darkness on his head, followed by a heavy weight on his body, and then a muffled sound entered his ears.
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang, who were awakened, squinted at Li Baoyu, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen whipped Li Ruhai.
The three of them were slapped, and there was a big quilt between them, so it didn't hurt much. The three of them were just doing this to vent their anger.
After a burst of crackling sounds, Li Baoyu turned off the light, Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen pulled the quilts, and the three of them lay down on the kang quickly, wrapped in quilts and pretending to sleep.
Li Ruhai, who was beaten, didn't even get up. He straightened his pillow, pulled the corner of the quilt, wrapped himself in the quilt, and continued to sleep.
It would have been fine if Li Ruhai made a lot of noise, cried and fussed, but he didn't say a word, which made Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen panic.
After all, Li Ruhai is not an ordinary child. If he takes revenge, it will be quite scary.
…
The next day, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen got up at four in the morning.
"Ruhai." Li Baoyu walked to the position above Li Ruhai and called out. Li Ruhai didn't move. Then he called softly: "Brother."
"What are you doing?" Li Ruhai responded without opening his eyes. Even though he could hear the impatience in his tone, Li Baoyu still asked softly: "Would you like to have a meal with us?"
"I won't go." Li Ruhai asked Li Baoyu to press his warm face against his cold buttocks, but Li Baoyu's tone was still as warm as the spring breeze and said, "Then what are you going to eat by yourself?"
"You don't have to worry about it." Li Ruhai said so. Zhao Jun pulled Li Baoyu aside and said, "Okay, Baoyu. Whoever is hungry will not be hungry. Let's go."
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, everyone left the simple guest house and got on the jeep to go to the canteen.
Last night Wei Huaixin arranged for the canteen cook to come over this morning to cook and serve dog food.
When Zhao Jun and others came over, Wei Huaixin, Li Chunming, Wu Ruixiang, and some security guards were already sitting in the cafeteria.
Seeing Zhao Jun come in, Wei Huaixin stood up and called him over, saying: "Let's wait a moment, the noodles will be ready soon."
It wasn't too complicated in the early morning. The cook cut the sauerkraut into the pot and cooked a pot of hot noodles to keep these people warm.
After dinner, it was around 4:40. Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin stayed to feed the dogs, while Wang Qiang, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen, Li Chunming, and Wu Ruixiang went to let the sheep go.
A goat weighing more than seventy pounds was pushed into the woods.
The previous times Li Chunming set up ambushes here, he followed Zhao Youcai's advice and tied the sheep to the tree.
But today was different. Today, according to Zhang Yuanmin's plan, the sheep were scattered in the forest and let the Siberian leopards pounce on them and eat them.
Although it is winter now, there are dead grass under the snow in the forest that can be chewed, as well as bark and tree slivers that can be chewed. Even in the private plots of the employees' families, there are leftover corn leaves from the autumn harvest that can be used as food for the sheep.
So even in winter, the old man who herds the sheep for the production team will drive the sheep out to eat.
In the past few days, the murderous leopard was causing such a ruckus that the old sheepherder did not come out. Instead, he fed the sheep with the leaves of the poplar trees he gathered in autumn.
After not being out for a few days, the sheep are no longer unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, and even though the sheep's vision is not very good at night, they can still see things.
It's just that this sheep usually comes out during the day, and when it comes out, it's accompanied by dozens of companions.
Unlike now, when it was a sheep that was roughly thrown into the dark woods, the sheep was very frightened.
"Huh...huh..." The sheep made a timid cry, slipped behind a nest of windy trees, lay down directly under the tree, and shouted loudly from its mouth, calling for its companions.
By this time, Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and others had already withdrawn.
According to Zhang Yuanmin's plan, no matter what, if the murderous leopard ran away, the dogs wouldn't be able to catch up with it. Why not let it calm down and eat enough, and then lead the dog to mark its footsteps.
Midnight is not the coldest time of the day, it is between five and six o'clock in the morning. This time period is called ghost teeth in the Northeast, which means that ghosts will be frozen to the teeth even when they leave the house.
The cold wind howled, taking away the smell and screams of the sheep and carrying them far away.
Northwest, three miles away.
A Siberian leopard stood facing the wind on a large stone ledge.
When the wind blows, the Siberian leopard raises its head and moves its round ears slightly, listening to the howling of the goat.
The Siberian leopard has a strong and vigorous body. After jumping down from the stone, it moved quickly towards the goat.
Judging from the running posture of the Siberian leopard, one of its front legs is injured, but even so, it is still very fast.
Three and a half miles, a straight line distance of 1,500 meters, the Siberian Leopard arrived in a little more than a minute.
But it did not attack the goat directly, but wandered about fifty meters away from the goat.
At this time, the goat was still behind the tree. In the winter in the northeast, a northwest wind blew from the sheep to the leopard. The leopard could smell the sheep, but the sheep could not smell the leopard.
The Siberian leopard was very cunning and cautious. It wandered around for more than half an hour before crouching and cautiously approaching the goat.
When the Siberian leopard came about fifteen meters away from the goat, the goat could smell the Siberian leopard's scent even though it was upwind.
This was the goat's first contact with a Siberian leopard. It had never seen the Siberian leopard's ferocity, but as soon as it smelled the Siberian leopard's scent, the goat shivered involuntarily, and then its whole body started to tremble.
The panicked goat slapped its head, stood up and ran out of the woods.
The Siberian leopard suddenly raised its head and found that today's sheep were different from those of the previous two days. The sheep of the previous two days could not escape. But today's sheep disappeared in a swipe.
Out of the instinct of a top hunter, the Amur leopard jumped into pursuit of the goat.
Even though one leg of the Siberian leopard is not so comfortable, its speed is still 70 to 80% of its peak speed, and it can catch up with the goat in just a few jumps.
Cat hunting is different from that of dogs. Dogs pause before they pounce on their prey, and the dog attacks with its jaws.
Not so with cats.
I saw the running Siberian leopards jumping together, pounced, and put a pair of front paws on the goat's hind crotch.
The goat, which was also running, felt a huge force coming from it. It sank down from its waist to the back, and its two hind legs couldn't stop sliding forward, but the next leap failed.
The front half of the goat's body still maintained forward inertia, but the Siberian leopard was too strong. The goat howled, and its head, front hooves, and front hooves were all raised upwards, and it fell backwards.
The Amur leopard is indeed the top predator.
It reached forward and bit the goat's neck. Its sharp canine teeth bit through the goat's neck, and the hot goat's blood flowed into the Siberian leopard's mouth.
The goat had no time to cry out before its neck was bitten off.
The Amur leopard still bit the goat's neck and dragged the goat deeper into the woods.
An eighty-pound Siberian leopard drags a seventy-pound goat without any difficulty.
The Siberian leopard hadn't walked far when it saw a large poplar tree in front of it. It dragged the goat up the tree.
The Amur leopard hung the goat on a large horizontal tree branch, more than two meters above the ground, and then easily tore open the goat's rear buttocks with its sharp teeth.
The Siberian leopard, which had not had a good meal for four or five days, bit into the sheep's intestine. Then it flicked its head and broke off a section of the sheep's large intestine.
The sheep raised by the production team are very fat, and their intestines are coated with a ring of oil. This is a rare delicacy for Amur leopards.
One end of the approximately fifty centimeter piece of sheep intestine is in the Siberian leopard's mouth, and something green can be seen at the broken end of the other end.
That's called straw bag, which is the excrement of goats eating poplar leaves.
The Amur leopard chews, and during the process of chewing the intestines into its mouth, the contents of the intestines will be accumulated to the other end.
At this time, the other end was broken, and green things were seen splashing down piece by piece.
The Siberian leopard ate a piece of intestines, and its mouth was red, white, and green. On the snow under the tree, green grass splattered all over the ground.
The Amur leopard continued to enjoy the meal. It ate all the goat's internal organs and then ate the meat on both sides of the goat's chrysanthemum.
The meat here is fat and lively. After eating this part, the Amur leopard started to eat the goat ribs.
This Siberian leopard was really hungry. It gnawed away the meat on both sides of the goat's body, leaving bones standing up to the sky.
Before he was full, the Siberian leopard tore open the skin on the goat's hind legs and began to tear the goat's hind legs.
After the two hind legs were eaten by it, the Siberian leopard gnawed on the sheep's neck.
At this time, there was not much left of the sheep. The relatively heavy head and front legs began to fall toward the tree.
Seeing the goat carcass slipping down from the tree, the Siberian leopard jumped down from the tree, picked up the goat carcass, and continued to climb up the tree.
But this time, the Siberian leopard's movements were much slower.
A goat that weighed more than 70 kilograms when alive now weighs 30 kilograms with its head, skin, bones, front legs, and four hooves. Compared with before, it is far inferior.
The Siberian leopard used to be able to drag a sheep weighing more than 70 kilograms with ease, but now it has difficulty moving. That's because its belly is full.
Not counting about six or seven kilograms of sheep blood and nearly four kilograms of straw in its intestines, the leopard had eaten about thirty kilograms of food in one meal, including meat and internal organs.
How much does this leopard weigh?
Just like Zhang Yuanmin's design, the leopard's belly was so round after eating that it was difficult for him to climb up the tree.
It's still the same tree branch. After the Siberian leopard comes up, it tries to hang the remaining goat carcass up.
But the sheep sank, failed to catch, and fell again.
Seeing this, the Siberian leopard jumped down from the tree again. Looking at its movement down the tree, it was no longer as light as before.
The Siberian leopard held the goat carcass in its mouth, looked up at the tree branch, then decisively let go, abandoned the goat carcass, and then walked away.
The Siberian leopard eats this meal for more than an hour.
It was nearly seven o'clock at this time, and the sky was gray and almost dawn.
Zhao Jun, who was sitting in the cafeteria of the Little Sequoia Forest Farm, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, raised his semi-automatic rifle and said, "Let's go!"
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Qiang, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen all stood up. Seeing this, Li Chunming picked up the dog-skin hat from the table and put it on his head.
Li Chunming was not a mere commander. When he came, he brought three people with him from the Forestry Bureau. However, Qin Zhusong and others whom Zhao Jun had met before were all recuperating from their injuries. Zhao Jun did not know these three people.
As the leader of the security team of the Little Sequoia Forest Farm, Wu Ruixiang also got up with his team members.
The three parties added together make a total of twenty-four people.
Led by Zhao Jun, they walked out of the canteen, got in the car and prepared to set off.
Both the jeep and the liberation vehicle were filled with gas. Jie Chen drove the jeep, Zhao Jun sat in the passenger seat, and in the back were Wang Qiang, Li Chunming and a forestry bureau security guard.
Li Baoyu was driving the Jiefang. Wu Ruixiang was sitting in the passenger seat, and eleven hunting dogs from the Zhao Family Dog Gang were being pulled in the back of the car.
There is a liberation vehicle behind, and other security guards are pulled by that vehicle.
The three vehicles drove out of the forest farm and went straight to where Li Chunming and Wu Ruixiang were letting their sheep go.
We arrived at our destination soon after leaving the forest farm. There was a fallen tree marking the place.
After everyone got out of the car, it was dawn. Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and Jie Chen got into the back compartment of the Liberation Vehicle and began to send the dogs down.
At this time, the hunting dogs of the Zhao family's dog gang were not feeling well. The dogs such as Black Tiger, Huanglong, and Erhei even climbed the fence and tried to jump down.
Zhao Jun and others took out the ropes they had prepared in advance and tied up the eleven dogs with chain buckles.
Li Chunming, Wu Ruixiang and other security guards were helping below, each holding a dog.
But at this time, the hunting dogs that got off the car were pulling on the ropes to go into the forest. Qinglong, Heilong, and Xiaohua were all fine, but the guards had a hard time pulling them like Dahua, Erhua, Hualong, and Huanglong.
Already.
As for the three dogs, Black Tiger, Erhei and Bailong, none of the security guards could hold them back.
Especially Black Tiger, Er Hei, and White Dragon could still be held by two people, but Black Tiger dragged the two of them into the forest.
But after being slapped on the butt by Zhao Jun, Black Tiger became much more honest.
Zhao Jun personally led the black tiger in front, Wang Qiang led Erhei, Li Baoyu led the white dragon, Jie Chen led the big flower, and the other guards led seven other hunting dogs.
Zhao Jun has made an explanation. If he doesn't let the dogs go, no one can let the dogs go. Before coming, Wei Huaixin, Li Chunming and Wu Ruixiang have made explanations. Today's operation is dominated by Zhao Jun, and everyone must obey the command.
.
Zhao Jun is here to help eliminate harm from the Little Sequoia Forest Farm. For the safety of his family members, the security guards of the Little Sequoia Forest Farm cannot oppose Zhao Jun.
A group of people listened to the order and followed Zhao Jun into the woods.
Zhao Jun, who was in front, had not taken a few steps before the black tiger jumped forward. Zhao Jun held the rope and took a few steps forward. He saw a spot in the snow soaked in blood.
The Siberian leopard must have gone far away, and the black tiger couldn't smell its scent, so it just smelled the sheep's blood on the ground and swirled around.
Zhao Jun wrapped the rope holding the black tiger around his forearm, and then looked around. With just a glance, he saw the footprints of the Siberian leopard and the traces of it dragging its prey.
"Let's go!" Zhao Jun patted Black Tiger's back twice and led Black Tiger forward along the footprints.
Leaving the place where the goat was in trouble, the black tiger sniffed the Siberian leopard's footprints with its nose, and then chased forward along the footprints.
