Tao Sansheng, who was leading four hunting dogs, saw Qin Qiang, Tao Dasheng, and Tao Ersheng coming out of Zhao Jun's house. When he was about to speak, he saw that the hands of the three of them were empty.
Tao Sansheng was startled and asked: "Brother-in-law, where is the dog?"
Qin Qiang didn't answer. He stretched out his hand and pulled a rope from Tao Sansheng's hand. He pulled the green dog on the other end of the rope and walked north.
This green dog is very different from the big green dog that Zhao Jun brought home yesterday. The big green dog is tall and burly.
The green dog Qin Qiang was holding was thin and small, only about fifty pounds.
Seeing that Qin Qiang didn't answer, Tao Sansheng asked Tao Dasheng again: "Brother, where is the dog?"
Tao Dasheng didn't answer. He grabbed a rope from Tao Sansheng's hand, led a black dog and followed Qin Qiang away.
Tao Sansheng was a little confused. He looked at his second brother and didn't know whether he should ask or not.
Tao Ersheng also took a rope from Tao Sansheng's hand and said to his brother: "Let's go, I didn't borrow the dog."
"Why didn't you borrow it?" Tao Sansheng was even more confused. His brother-in-law had come to Zhao's house to borrow a dog for almost two years, and this had never happened before.
"Stop asking, let's go!" Tao Ersheng said, leading another black dog and walking away.
Tao Sansheng stood there stunned for two seconds, then took the only remaining yellow dog and followed the team out of the village.
The four people took the dog into the mountain and never let go of the dog.
On the way, the green dog barked several times and struggled to leave Qin Qiang, but Qin Qiang never let go and kept walking towards the mountains.
The green dog was like this, it was obvious that there were prey around, or there were traces of prey, but Qin Qiang remained indifferent.
This is because Qin Qiang's purpose today is very clear. He is running towards a black bear.
These days, wild boars are worthless, and they are only eaten for their meat.
But a bear is worth a lot of money, and it can be said that its whole body is full of treasures.
Needless to say, bear paws and bear meat, as well as bear oil, are better than any other oil for cooking.
Even in winter, if you throw the cake baked with bear oil in the snow, even if it reaches minus 40 degrees, the cake will not be hard, it will always be soft.
Of course, the bear meat and bear oil still cannot be sold for money.
However, there are valuable things in the bear.
Xiongbi, dried with tiles, ground into powder, and taken with rice wine, can cure epilepsy.
Bear kneecaps, known as fake tiger bones, can cure rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis.
The most expensive one is definitely bear bile.
At this time in 1986, I could take a piece of bear bile to a state-owned store in Yamashita and sell it for five hundred or six hundred.
If the copper gall is of good quality, it can even be sold for thousands of dollars.
Qin Qiang's father, after Qin Qiang got married, moved to the mountains by himself, built a shack, opened several acres of land, and usually set traps and traps.
Five days ago, when Lao Qin was slipping his condom on, he saw bear droppings.
Bears are different from wild boars. There are harnesses that can trap wild boars, but there are no harnesses that can harness bears.
It happened that Lao Qin had trapped a roe deer two days ago, so he wrapped the fried roe deer in roe deer oil and set up a trap.
From then on, Lao Qintou visited the trap he had set once a day.
Just yesterday, he went to take a look and found that the trap had been triggered, but there was no dead bear around, and there were only drops of blood on the ground.
Lao Qintou was a little annoyed because he had wrapped the bomb too lightly, and it exploded as soon as the bear bit him. This blew up the bear's mouth, but failed to destroy the bear's brain, so the bear was not dead.
Old Qin was unwilling to give up, so he went down the mountain and went to Qin Qiang's house to ask him to hunt bears today.
Therefore, the purpose of Qin Qiang and others today is very clear, which is to hunt bears and sell bear bile for money.
Therefore, no matter how many times Qingou, the leading dog, spoke up, Qin Qiang would not let go.
Because he didn't know what Qingguo found. It might be a wild boar, a roe deer, or even a badger.
Of course, it could also be a bear.
But that chance is too small and not as accurate as the information provided by his father.
If you don't make money, you are called a bastard.
Four people led four dogs to the place where Lao Qintou said, and there was indeed a faint trace of blood on the ground.
Qin Qiang untied the chain buckle around the green dog's neck, and the green dog began to sniff around, sniffing here and there, sniffing non-stop.
Slowly, the green dog followed the blood trail to the northwest, and Qin Qiang and others followed behind with the remaining three dogs.
At this time, the green dog started running, and Qin Qiang and the others were not in a hurry.
Because of their own dogs, they knew that the green dog was so close that it could not run more than two miles.
Sure enough, the green dog ran for a while and then returned. After meeting Qin Qiang, he turned back and ran again.
In this way, we ran back and forth until almost noon.
Four dogs were resting around, and Qin Qiang and others were sitting under a big tree, eating big pancakes brought from home.
Seeing that Qin Qiang's expression had improved, Tao Dasheng dared to ask: "Brother-in-law, can our green dog do it?"
Qin Qiang frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I can't tell."
The Tao brothers looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything further.
At this time, Qin Qiang sighed and said, "Even if I can find it, I'm afraid I won't be able to trap it!"
"It's all Zhao Jun's fault!" Tao Ersheng suddenly said, "I won't lend you our dog today."
Tao Dasheng hurriedly grabbed Tao Ersheng and signaled him to stop talking. This was something he himself did wrong. Can he blame others?
Qin Qiang finished chewing the pancake in his mouth and swallowed it, looked at the three brothers-in-law on the left and right, and then said: "Be careful today. If it doesn't work, we will withdraw."
As soon as Qin Qiang said these words, the Tao brothers were stunned.
They have been hunting with Qin Qiang for more than a year, and this is the first time they have heard such depressing words from their eldest brother-in-law.
"Isn't it just a bad dog?" Tao Sansheng disagreed and said: "If our dog can find the black blind man, we can kill him."
Qin Qiang didn't say anything. He stood up from the foot of the tree and whistled. The four dogs resting around him all turned over and got up.
Qin Qiang waved his hand, and the green dog went out directly, while the other three dogs followed the green dog, running, stopping, and strolling.
"I'll leave first. You all should put your swords on the swords before following!" Qin Qiang ordered, and took the first step with his gun on his back.
The Tao brothers were very obedient. They took out the invasion knives they brought, found suitable small trees around them, cut them into sticks and connected them with the invasion knives.
Four people and four dogs were wandering around in the mountains until two o'clock in the afternoon, when they suddenly heard a series of dog barks from ahead.
"Let's go!" Qin Qiang shouted and took off the shotgun from his shoulder.
Qin Qiang's gun is not a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, because not everyone can get that semi-automatic rifle, and not everyone can afford it.
Qin Qiang's gun is a No. 16 gun with a semi-automatic barrel and shoots 7.62mm bullets.
But the gun cannot fire continuously. After each shot, the empty bullet casing must be taken out and another bullet inserted.
Qin Qiang raised the handle of his gun, took out three bullets from his pocket, stuffed one into the chamber, and held the remaining two bullets in his hand.
After closing the gun and loading the bullet, Qin Qiang walked quickly to the post. The Tao brothers hurriedly followed.
