General Black jumped up, pounced on a slightly smaller jackal, went up and bit the jackal's head.
Most of the time, jackals rely on their numerical advantage, fight in groups, bully the few with more, and engage in a war of attrition.
Seven jackals faced off against five dogs, and they were all larger dogs. These jackals had no advantage at all.
Moreover, they had just fought with a wild boar, which consumed a lot of energy, and they didn't have time to eat meat to replenish their energy.
Therefore, when General Black charged like this, the group of jackals on the opposite side without the jackal king immediately dispersed and ran away.
Erlang Shen and other dogs also took advantage of the opportunity, each found their target and rushed over.
With the ferocity of dogs like Erlang Shen and Da Qing, it would not be very difficult for each of them to single out a jackal.
But unfortunately, these dogs don't take the usual path.
Erlangshen and Dahuang caught up with a jackal one after another. Dahuang bit the jackal's neck, and Erlangshen bit the jackal's right hind thigh.
How big is that jackal? It's about forty pounds. If fighting alone, it can't beat a dog, let alone two adult hunting dogs.
As soon as they met, the jackal was caught by the two dogs.
The two dogs tried their best and refused to give way to each other, but the jackal directly pulled the two paws off the ground.
Wild boars and black blind ones have thick skin and armor, which cannot be penetrated by dogs' teeth and causes little damage.
But how can a jackal compare with a wild boar or a black blind man? The sharp dog teeth can easily bite through.
Erlangshen weighs around ninety kilograms, while Dahuang is slightly smaller at less than eighty kilograms.
These two guys bit a jackal and tore it apart. What would be the consequences?
A click was heard, and the jackal's head was ripped off by the rhubarb.
As soon as the jackal died, the two dogs dropped the jackal and without even looking at it, turned around and chased the jackal that ran away in front of them.
On the other side, Daqing and Erqing followed suit and tore a jackal into pieces, then chased the escaping ones.
Although General Black dealt with a jackal alone, the jackal was small and not powerful enough.
After a short while, General Black pinned him to the ground with his claws and bit him on the neck.
General Black's mouth was wide and pointed, and his lower jaw was so cruel that he bit the jackal's cervical vertebrae directly. The jackal twitched twice on the ground and couldn't survive.
General Hei left the jackal lying on the ground, turned around, and followed Daqing and the others in pursuit of the escaping jackals.
On the other side, when Sheng Xiping and others rushed over, they happened to see three half-dead jackals lying on the snow, and a dead wild boar over there, with its belly ripped out.
"Hey, these jackals killed one of them and ran into the basket, so we got a readymade one." Wang Jianshe and others looked at it and laughed.
Where does Sheng Xiping have time to care about running baskets? What he worries about most is the dogs.
I don’t know how many jackals there are in this group. If the number is small, it’s okay and the dogs won’t suffer a big loss. If there are a lot of jackals, the dogs will suffer a lot.
"Don't worry about this for now, chase."
Sheng Xiping started to chase him, and the others immediately followed him. After this chase, he ran for another three or four miles.
When Sheng Xiping and others arrived, the battle was over and there were four jackal corpses on the ground.
Although Erlangshen and the others were slightly injured, they were in good spirits. Each of them stared fiercely at the jackals on the ground with fierce eyes.
There are four here, and there were three before. Sheng Xiping walked around twice more, but found no traces of the jackals escaping.
This time, the jackals should have been completely wiped out.
Sheng Xiping whistled and called all the dogs to come to him.
When the dogs saw Sheng Xiping, their eyes immediately changed, from fierce to soft and docile. They all ran around Sheng Xiping, chirping and acting coquettishly with Sheng Xiping.
General Hei also stood up, put his front paws on Sheng Xiping, and wagged his tail as if asking for praise.
Sheng Xiping quickly rubbed General Hei's head and praised him a few words, and then praised Erlangshen and Daqing next to him.
The dogs were so happy that they waggled their tails one by one and ran back.
"Let's go, drag these jackals back, and let's drag the basket on the other side too, so we can go back and share the meat for the New Year."
They say that the meat in the basket is not delicious, but they say so because they are greedy.
In the years when there was no meat to eat, even the sour and smelly jackal meat was eaten, let alone running baskets?
Wang Jianshe and others came over, dragging the jackals on the ground, and the group returned to where they were.
This time, the dogs all gathered around the wild boar, sat down obediently, and stared at the long-dead pig with their heads tilted.
When Sheng Xiping saw it, he knew that the dogs were greedy. He quickly took out his knife, opened up the wild boar, and fed the pig's heart and liver to the dogs.
There were five dogs, so Sheng Xiping cut off a lot of meat to feed them.
It wasn't until the dogs were full that the group of people dragged the wild boar and jackal back slowly.
I came out one morning and chased the jackals for more than twenty miles. I finally brought them all to the pot, and on the way I also picked up the first three hundred kilograms of running basket and came back.
Today's harvest is not small, everyone is very happy.
By the time they returned to the forest farm, it was almost noon.
This trip into the mountains was quite rewarding, especially the basket running at the end, which produced a lot of meat, so everyone did not go to the forest farm's financial office to collect their bonuses.
Instead, he went straight to the Sheng family, skinned and chopped the wild boar, divided some pork among each family, and then dragged a jackal back.
After Wang Jianshe and others left, Sheng Xiping took a piece of meat and sent Daqing and others back to Liu's house.
When Liu Changde heard that Sheng Xiping and the others had been guarding the breeding farm for another night, and today they killed seven jackals with their dogs and picked up a pig, he was very happy and said that Sheng Xiping and the others were lucky if they had the ability.
Being disturbed by this group of jackals, Sheng Xiping never stopped from the 26th to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
During this Chinese New Year, there are still many things to do at home and I can’t take any time off.
Until night, Sheng Xiping was finally able to lie down on his own kang and sleep peacefully.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already past seven o'clock on the morning of New Year's Eve.
After breakfast, Sheng Xiping led his brothers to set up lantern poles in the yard.
"Xi'an, Xikang, you two go to the forest and cut some red pine branches and come back.
Fang'er, get some colored paper and cut it. Later, your second brother and the others will cut back the branches and tie them together."
Sheng Xiping found a wooden square and nailed the lantern stand, while instructing his younger siblings to prepare the materials.
After Sheng Xian and the others cut down the pine branches, Sheng Yunfang also cut all the colored papers.
Sheng Xiping tied the colored paper and pine branches with wire and tied them to the lantern stand. The red lantern was connected with pulleys and ropes and hung under the lantern stand.
After all these were installed, the lantern pole was erected and tied to the garden pole.
"Wow, our lanterns are so beautiful, and my eldest brother is the best."
Sheng Xitai didn't do any work, but he was quite applauded. He stood in the yard, looked up at the lantern pole erected high, and applauded.
"Okay, just get out of the way, you sycophant, you don't know anything, and you're just trying to flatter someone."
Sisters Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei rolled their eyes at Lao Liu and said with great disgust.
