"The second time I saw it was when my mother and I went to Ulaga to sell things. On the way back, we saw a little wild boar stuck in the snow shell. It was half eaten, but it was still alive.
Last time I saw a jackal killing a wild boar. Looking at the footprints on the snow, I recognized that it was done by a jackal. Seeing that there was no movement around, I thought it was too cruel. I got off my horse and gave the little wild boar a patch of wounds. At that time, my mother gave me a stab.
Scolded."
Zhao Yongke smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Why did Father Zhao scold you?" Chen Xiuqing asked in confusion.
"My grandma said that if jackals saw me moving around, they would think I was stealing their prey and they would cause trouble. He said that this dog is very insidious and difficult to guard against."
Zhao Yongke had some lingering fears: "I was wondering how a wild animal could be so narrow-minded. I thought it would be over if someone came and gave it a shot. I didn't take it seriously at the time. As a result, I didn't go very far when three people ran out of the forest.
A jackal stood in front of us. The horse was so frightened that it jumped up and almost threw me off.
Our Oroqen horses are capable of fighting wild beasts. The horse I rode on was not afraid of wolves, but it was frightened by these three jackals, who were much smaller than the wolves."
"What happened next?"
What Zhao Yongke said just now is actually Lu Lu's idea. Both of them have semi-automatics in their hands, loaded with twenty-two rounds of bullets. There are just such a few small things. No matter how fierce they are, they will scare away a few of them.
What's more, there are Yuanbao and the others.
But now, hearing what Zhao Yongke said, he felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
"My grandma asked me to come forward. He cut off the hind. He had raised the horse for seven or eight years and had seen a lot. He was not afraid of these jackals. The horse he was riding was so frightened that I felt something was wrong, so I just followed it.
I did as my Ama said, put down the reins, and prepared to go around from one side.
Who would have known that as soon as they moved, the three jackals pounced on me. They could jump more than two meters high in one jump. It was very easy to jump over from the horse's back. Their movements were fast and extremely flexible. I was now carrying them on my back.
There is also a wound, which was bitten by a jackal while riding on a horse."
Zhao Yongke shook his head and said: "I was wearing Suen's clothes, which are quite thick. I was bitten and there were blood holes on my back. I didn't care at that time. I just picked up the gun and started shooting. At such a close distance, I fired several shots. One
None of them hit. My mother also fired several shots and killed one of them. When the other two saw something was wrong, they immediately hid in the forest.
My Ama asked me to leave first, saying that he could not leave anyone alive, otherwise he would come to the door with a pack of jackals. He chased him out at that time, killed another one, and the other one ran away. My Ama followed him.
After walking a long way, I saw more and more footprints on the snow. I was afraid of being ambushed by them, so I had no choice but to retreat."
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing looked at each other and saw surprise on each other's faces.
How could this little thing be so ferocious?
What Zhao Tuanqing and his son had in their hands was five to six and a half. Moreover, with their skills, even facing three jackals gave them such a headache.
And now the survivors are left...
Chen Xiuqing asked: "They are not really here, are they?"
"It's here. In the middle of the night that night, we found our Chuluozi directly. After what happened during the day, my grandmother has been worried and has been guarding the Zuluozi. There was also a baby born outside.
There was a big fire and when he heard the dog barking outside, he immediately got out.
I was also awakened and followed me out. I saw that our hunting dog had been surrounded by five or six jackals, and it was biting on the snow. After a few times, it was bitten to the point where it could not stand up. My mother and I were in charge
If there aren’t that many anymore, just raise the gun and shoot.
Although it was night, you could always see vague shadows on the snow. After the bullets in the two guns were discharged, three more were shot out, and the others were scared away."
When Zhao Yongke said this, he paused: "We were on guard for two more days, and then we felt relieved when there was no movement. It was just a pity that the hunting dog had its intestines taken out and torn..."
Lu Lu was silent. He looked back at the six dogs surrounding him, stretched out his hand to rub Yuan Bao's head, and then asked after a long time: "Can't dogs win?"
"It's not that I can't win. My dog also bit a jackal and knocked it to the ground. However, once a jackal doesn't have the upper hand and is knocked down by its opponent, it will put its hind legs on the opponent's belly.
Kick hard, those claws are so powerful that the belly of the hunting dog was torn apart.
The dog was tied up and was being attacked by several jackals..."
Zhao Yongke let out a long sigh, reached out and patted Lu Lu on the shoulder: "From then on, when we raise dogs, we will never tie them up... Your dogs are well raised!"
Lu Lu knew what he meant. The main point was that he had never tied up several dogs.
If you tie him up, that would be fatal!
He looked at Yuan Bao and remembered that he had tied them twice before going into the mountain. He rubbed Yuan Bao's head again and whispered: "I will never tie them again in the future!"
These words are like a guarantee to Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao tilted his head to look at Lu Lu and snorted softly.
The three of them didn't speak anymore, but looked at the surrounding trees from time to time.
After a long time, Lu Lu asked: "What should we do next?"
"Let's change the place. Jackals are here. We don't know how many there are. I heard from other old hunters that jackals often come in groups of three or five, but some people have also seen twenty or thirty of them together. If
If there are only three or five, things will be easy to handle, but if there are more, it will be difficult to say.
Judging from the reaction of the horses today, they can be frightened even from such a distance. With such a strong evil spirit, the number of this group of jackals is probably not small. If the number is too large, those deer and the like cannot be in this area.
If he had stayed still, he would have probably been surrounded and killed long ago, or he would have run away."
Zhao Yongke gave his own opinion.
Evil spirit is a breath with very complex components, mixed with the smell of wild animals, the smell of blood, ferocity, etc.
This is how Lu Lu understood it.
It sounds mysterious, but I have to admit that this thing exists.
Just like a big claw, it has a domineering aura. Most wild animals will tremble and have their hair explode as soon as they sense this aura.
Just like a butcher who slaughters pigs and dogs all year round, not only will others feel inexplicable fear when they see him, but the pigs and dogs will also be very wary and frightened when they see him.
This also applies to hunters.
The same wild animal reacts completely differently when seeing different hunters. In front of some hunters, it dares to attack directly, but in front of some hunters, it will only be busy running away.
Thinking of the panic last night and the quietness of the surrounding woods now, which seemed a bit unusual, Lu Lu couldn't help but hold back his contempt.
"Qingzi, pack your things, let's change places!"
The mountainous terrain here is complex, and it is inconvenient for people, horses, and dogs to use it.
Change to a safer place where the trees are sparse and flat. Even if these jackals still act like monsters, they can be discovered in time so that they can respond.
The three of them quickly removed the hood and packed it away. They loaded the hunting gear and the meat they had caught into the car. Zhao Yongke led the way forward, Chen Xiuqing drove the carriage in the middle, and Lu Lu led Yuanbao and the others behind them, and began to go up the hillside.
Walk everywhere.
Not long after leaving, Yuan Bao, who had been following Lu Lu, suddenly made a fierce whining sound toward the back.
Lu Lu glanced back and vaguely saw three red figures moving on the grassy slope dozens of meters away. His brows suddenly furrowed.
Zhao Yongke also saw it. He held the gun cautiously: "That's the jackal spy. We are being targeted. Three jackals were dispatched at once, which is a lot!"
When wild animals are chasing prey, especially wild animals that live in groups, they often first explore and track the prey, and then gather the group to hunt.
Wolves are the most typical, and so are these jackals.
Lu Lu was also murmuring in his heart.
I have three people, three horses, and six dogs here, which is quite a lot.
How many jackals are there to have such courage?
"We have moved to a different place and are stationed here. If you still dare to sneak around and don't know whether to live or die, we will fight!"
Lu Lu looked at the three jackals and made a decision.
This decision made Zhao Yongke stunned for a moment: "Would it be inappropriate to do this?"
"It's better than being followed and harassed all the time, and you can't sleep well. We can't hide and walk all the time, right? We're mentally exhausted, and we're even more passive. Instead of doing this, it's better to chase them and beat them until they dare not dare.
Move over. I don’t believe it, they don’t know how to be afraid!”
Lu Lu said seriously.
This is a fact. Tracking, harassing, and making people uneasy and exhausting are also methods that wild animals are very good at.
Zhao Yongke thought for a while and nodded solemnly.
He knew that what Lu Lu said was right. Passive defense was more likely to cause problems, especially at night. It was obviously more advantageous for those with night vision ability. However, they couldn't use their guns even if they had guns.
It's easy to get into trouble.
The rest of the journey was quiet, and the three of them were on guard.
The second place Zhao Yongke took Lu Lu to was called Xiaoleizi. It was a place with mountains of rocks and trees.
The large forest trees are much sparse, but there are more shrubs and small trees below.
Although the mountain is gentle at this location, the situation inside is not simple either.
The three of them did not rush up the mountain, but chose a meadow in the mountains to camp.
This meadow is no smaller than the one in Lu Lu, with a small ditch running through it and abundant water plants. The key is a wide view.
This journey is at least twenty miles long.
"We have traveled so far, so we shouldn't be following you, right?"
Chen Xiuqing looked a little tired.
When entering the mountain, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke rode horses, and he himself sat in the carriage, making the journey easy.
But on that stretch of road, because he had to be wary of jackals, he stopped riding in the carriage and followed along with his gun in hand. Now he finally stopped.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Zhao Yongke shook his head.
He and Lu Lu agreed that the panic last night was caused by these jackals. If we calculated it this way, it would be a longer journey to Jiayingou.
The three of them put up the tent again and sat on the ground to rest for a while. Lu Lu went to look at the small ditch, stuck his butt out and drank a lot of water, and said with some worry: "You guys have a rest for a while, I will go around the area."
!”
He wanted to use some hunting dogs to check first to see if those jackals were following.
It's best if you don't follow, but if you do follow, it's better to respond early.
"I'll go take a look too... Qingzi, you're looking for a good horse, so be careful."
Zhao Yongke also stood up.
"Don't go too far!"
After Lu Lu gave instructions, he led Yuan Bao in the direction he came from. If he followed them, it was most likely that he was following the traces they left along the way.
Zhao Yongke went into the forest opposite Caodianzi.
Chen Xiuqing sat at the door of the tent holding a gun, looking at the three horses grazing on the meadow from a distance.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke never returned. Chen Xiuqing felt inexplicably uneasy, always worried that something would happen to them.
There was nothing in the meadow, so he began to walk around the edge of the forest and look inside.
Suddenly, in the meadow, the neighing sound of Chai Feng came. He suddenly turned around and saw three red figures running in the meadow. He was so startled that the three horses jumped up, and then he was surprised to see a
The jackal was kicked out by Zhui Feng and fell into the grass without making any movement.
