Chapter 464 Catching the water dog with bare hands
"Hey...Chen Xiuyu, what are you doing?"
As soon as the word "go away" came out of Chen Xiuyu's mouth, Jiang Mingfeng's face was completely lost. He immediately put his hands on his hips and looked directly at Chen Xiuyu: "I can finally see it. Both of you are not good people. They want to swallow the animal skin book.
You don’t accept the debt, right? There’s no way out. Return the things immediately and pretend this never happened. If you don’t return them..."
"What else can you do? I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people. I told you to come to Brother Lu in ten days. Don't you understand? What's wrong? You're making trouble at my house.
If you don’t get out, don’t blame me for being rude!”
As Chen Xiuyu spoke, she waved her hand and made a chirping sound. The three lynxes that had been lying in a corner stood up again.
Upon seeing this situation, Jiang Mingfeng's expression became frightened.
Although she only went back to her parents' home in Xiushantun occasionally, it was difficult for Jiang Mingfeng not to know what happened in Lulu Caodianzi.
She was beaten with a big nose, the son of the director of the forest farm was bitten half to death by wild dogs, and the hairy hair never came back. She had heard of these things many times.
Now looking at Chen Xiuyu's posture and the three lynxes surrounding them, she had no doubt that she would be bitten as long as Chen Xiuyu gave the order.
Moreover, Chen Xiuyu was pregnant with a child, so she really didn't dare to mess around. If she acted recklessly here and really caused trouble, she knew that she would never be able to shoulder this responsibility.
"You're cruel, just wait for me!" Jiang Mingfeng put down these words and slammed the door.
As soon as she walked out of the wooden gate, she suddenly heard a gunshot from outside. The top of a tree at the entrance to the meadow was broken and fell down. The snow on the tree was knocked down with it, and snowflakes were flying. Below, a line of
The figure jumped out from behind the tree in panic.
When Jiang Mingfeng saw this situation, he was startled again. He suddenly turned his head to look at the place where the gunshots were heard, and saw an old man carrying a semi-automatic, slowly walking down the hillside of the fence.
Chen Xiuyu and Pu Guiying heard the gunfire and hurried out of the house. When they saw Zhao Tuanqing coming down, they immediately asked loudly: "Dad Zhao, what's wrong?"
"Nothing! I just saw a jumping cat on that tree, so I shot it but missed!"
Zhao Tuanqing smiled at Chen Xiuyu, then turned back to look at the man under the tree: "Hey, who is that and what is he doing? Why are you so sneaky..."
The man under the tree kept his head down and said nothing, just patting the snow that fell on him.
Jiang Mingfeng also said nothing, ran out of the gate with a pale face, crossed the river, and pulled the man away.
"Sister Xiuyu, isn't this the man from Jiang Mingfeng's family? What is his name?"
Pu Guiying recognized it, how could Chen Xiuyu not know.
She brought her man over, but when Jiang Mingfeng entered the house, the man huddled in the woods, not knowing what he was planning.
"Call Guo Zhikun!"
"Yes, yes, my name is Guo Zhikun. I heard from the people in the village that he is just a lazy bastard who is idle and lazy. He used to have a good family background, but I guess it is almost ruined now."
Chen Xiuyu smiled faintly and didn't say much. She estimated that it was probably for this reason that the couple came up with the idea of buying animal skin books.
"Just a few days ago, I heard someone say that the couple went to Uncle Jiang's house to borrow money, had a fight with Uncle Jiang, and were beaten out by Uncle Jiang with a cane," Pu Guiying said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Xiuyu was slightly startled. She didn't expect that there was such a thing!
But she just heard this and didn't say much. She turned to look at Zhao Tuanqing.
She was such a smart person. She immediately understood the reason why Zhao Tuanqing fired. This was not meant to kill squirrels, but was clearly meant to scare him.
"You're here for that animal skin book with a stick, right? Xiao Lu said hello to me before entering the mountain, and told me about this, and asked me to come over often when I have nothing to do to help guard against that person.
I've been looking at the ridge behind your house for a while, poking my head around, and it turns out he's not a good person!"
Zhao Tuanqing smiled at Chen Xiuyu and said, "Xiuyu, just stay at home with peace of mind. Don't be afraid. I will come over often to check on you!"
Zhao Yongke was the one who participated in carrying the mallet at Zhang Guangcai Ridge. He knew the whole process of delivering the animal skin book to Lu Lu. Naturally, Zhao Tuanqing also knew what happened.
He knew that it was a good thing, and Lu Lu was right to be wary, so after Lu Lu told him that someone might be interested in the animal skin book and asked him to help take care of it, he would go around Lu Lu's meadow several times a day.
It turns out that Lu Lu has other plans!
Chen Xiuyu's heart felt warm again, and she quickly shouted to Zhao Tuanqing: "Dad Zhao, please come inside and sit down!"
"I won't come. I've been at home all day and I'm not feeling well. I'll just walk around in the surrounding woods. Don't worry about me. It's cold outside. You guys should go back quickly!"
After Zhao Tuanqing finished speaking, he turned around and climbed up the hillside towards the ridge.
Seeing Zhao Tuanqing enter the forest, Chen Xiuyu closed the fence gate and called Pu Guiying back to the house.
In the deep mountains where the Stone River is located, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke followed the traces left by the water dog on the snow for more than ten minutes, and finally heard the fierce sounds of Yuanbao and Bailong.
"Close!"
Lu Lu smiled slightly, called Yuan Bao, and made a gentle downward gesture. The dogs immediately lay down on the snow obediently.
When it's cold in winter, the smell emitted by prey doesn't diffuse so quickly.
If Yuanbao makes a sound, it means that it is not too far away from the prey.
The fur of a water dog is a good thing. If several dogs swarm it and one of them gives it a bite, the good fur will become a defective product.
"The water dog is very good in the water, but on the ground, no one can run fast, let's catch it directly!" Lu Lu said to Zhao Yongke while following the water dog's footprints.
When this little thing started running on the snow, it jumped up and down at a speed of less than two meters in one second. This speed was far from enough to be seen in front of people.
Zhao Yongke naturally knew that the more complete the fur, the more valuable it was. He nodded in agreement, but still said: "Be careful when you catch it. This thing is very fierce. Dogs will fall for it if they don't pay attention!"
"Yeah!" Of course Lu Lu also knew this.
The two of them carefully followed the footprints for more than a hundred meters, and saw a water dog rolling in the snow in the woods.
This mountain is crisscrossed by waterways, making it a very suitable place for water dogs to live.
Usually, water dogs build nests near water and hunt in water. They are more accustomed to living near water.
However, the weather in the wilderness was cold and the river was frozen, which only lasted a few days.
When the ice layer is thin, water dogs can also take advantage of their size to break through the thin ice and hunt freely in the water.
The water dog's fur is waterproof, and it is probably the animal least afraid of the cold in the wilderness.
Anyway, get out of the water, roll in the snow, wipe the snow as if it were a towel, shake it off, and the fur on your body will be dry.
But the situation is different now. The river is frozen, and those who want to catch fish have to use ice drills to dig holes in the ice. The ice is often more than two feet thick, or even more than three feet thick, but they cannot easily break through it.
, especially if the ice cave you maintain is sealed, it will be even more troublesome.
Unable to get down to the river, the water dogs stranded outside can only expand their range on both sides of the river bank in search of food.
In order to move better in the snow, this little thing is also very talented and has very good skiing skills.
Often in places with snowy slopes, they always jump a few times, then pounce on the snow, using inertia to slide forward a certain distance. This way of rushing not only saves effort, but is also faster than walking on four short legs.
.
When Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke followed the trail, they often saw intermittent skiing marks on the snow slope.
Now, the water dog rolling in the snow has not noticed Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke, and is having a great time.
Lu Lu pointed at Zhao Yongke, then pointed upward, then pointed at himself and below.
Zhao Yongke immediately understood and knew that Lu Lu was planning to intercept him from above and below. He immediately walked gently upwards, while Lu Lu crouched and quietly approached slightly below Shuigouzi.
The water dog played on the snow for a while, and finally prepared to leave. He jogged a few steps and pounced forward. His long body slid softly along the snow, which was extremely smooth.
At this moment, seeing Shuigouzi about to leave, Lu Lu immediately rushed towards it.
This sudden situation startled it, and the road below was blocked. It almost instinctively turned around and ran upwards. However, it was greeted by Zhao Yongke who intercepted from above, so it could only turn around again and head towards
Conflict on the left.
The clumsy way he looks when running in the snow is really cute.
But considering the speed at which it ran on the snow, neither of them needed to use all their strength to chase it.
After dashing left and right, unable to escape several times, Shuigouzi simply stopped, as if he thought it would be easier to run downhill. His ferocious side immediately showed, and he charged directly towards Lu Lu with one fierce move.
Seeing him rushing towards him, Lu Lu stepped on him without any courtesy.
At this time, the water dog showed quite agility. He twisted his body, jumped up, opened his mouth and bit Lu Lu's thigh.
Seeing this, how could Lu Lu let it bite him? He slapped it and knocked it to the ground. Then, he stepped on its neck with another kick.
With this kick, Lu Lu stepped on it so hard that even the water dog was trapped in the snow, squealing strangely.
Lu Lu would not let it go easily.
A thing that could easily hold its breath for several minutes in the water could easily be suffocated to death if its neck was stepped on. Therefore, Lu Lu picked up his other foot and stomped on its head.
This moment was fatal. Blood immediately came out of the water dog's mouth. He kicked a few times with his sharp claws and then stopped moving.
Lu Lu then stretched out his hand to lift it up. After confirming that it was dead, he patted the snowflakes on its fur and put it in his hunting bag.
After easily handling the water dog, the two returned along the road, called Yuanbao and the others, returned to the river, and continued to explore along the river.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of water dogs near the Stone River. After searching along the river for more than two hours, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke saw several ice caves on the river.
This is what Shuigouzi left behind.
After all, they are animals that are good at hunting in the water. Leaving the water and looking for food is actually a very difficult thing for water dogs.
What water dogs often do is to maintain the ice holes left on the river long ago to ensure that they can enter and exit at any time.
So when the two of them saw that there was no ice in the ice cave, they knew that the water dogs had finished hunting in the water and would soon come out of the ice cave to breathe. They had to ensure that the ice cave would not be sealed at all times, otherwise
, once you are trapped and cannot get out, you can only drown inside.
Water dogs in winter are considered the most diligent animals. The price they have to pay for soaking in ice water every day is to constantly obtain food and maintain body temperature.
Lu Lu simply chopped off a wooden stick with a hunting knife and prepared it. When encountering such an ice cave, he would squat for a few minutes. As soon as the water dog showed up, he would call it down with a stick and catch it easily.
In more than two hours, three more water dogs were obtained.
It was not until late in the evening that the two finally saw a cave more than three meters above the ground on a half-dead lime tree on the gentle slope on the left side of the river bank, with frost at the entrance.
Yuan Bao and several puppies arrived at the tree and kept barking at the hole above.
Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke looked at each other and smiled. They both knew there was a bear inside. The bear's paw prints were still clearly visible on the tree trunks that were covered with a thin layer of ice.
