The arrival of the deadbeat made the venue suddenly lively.
The four dogs would bark all kinds of things when they saw the scoundrel, but the scoundrel had to go in front of the dogs and bark.
Not only did he fart, he also farted, and a foul smell came out that made the four dogs sneeze and spin around in circles.
After all, those four dogs were still young and inexperienced. After being picked off by the scoundrel three or four times, they stopped barking when they saw the scoundrel again.
They turned their heads and didn't even bother to pay attention to it, allowing the scoundrel to wander around in front of their eyes without even raising their eyelids to avoid being exposed to the stinking fart.
Now, the deadbeat is dominating the field, and he is getting more and more proud day by day.
Originally, winter was the most difficult season for foxes when the land was covered with heavy snow, the north wind howled, the weather was cold, and prey was scarce.
Most foxes crouch in burrows or stone caves all day long, sleeping with their big, fluffy tails tightly held tightly, until they are too hungry before going out to look for food.
Now it's nice to live in the warm hut of this deadbeat, follow Xu Shiyan, and have no worries about food and drink.
That thick fire-colored fur is so smooth and smooth, it's not to mention how beautiful it is.
Xu Shiyan didn't bother to care about it and just let the deadbeat wander around in the venue.
Anyway, when cooking, prepare whatever you have at home for the deadbeat.
Meats and vegetables are fed together, and the raw ones do not need to be cooked or salted.
Feed him once a day, but don't feed him too much. Otherwise, when he comes down the mountain, this guy will be so fat that he can't run, which will actually harm him.
The deadbeat is very smart. Now he has a house to live in and someone to take care of his food and drink. He is very comfortable. He no longer goes around the venue to steal the prey in the bag, but hangs around Xu Shiyan every day.
There are no springs or wells near the site, so most of the water we drink is snow water, or we go to the nearby creek to break holes in the ice to fetch water.
Nowadays, the environment is good, there are no cars running around, and there are no boilers burning.
Especially on the mountains, the snow falls and accumulates so thickly that there is not even a layer of ash on it.
So when Xu Shiyan was willing to move, he would go to the river to fetch water. When he was not willing to move, he would pick up some snow nearby and melt it, so he could cook.
This morning, Xu Shiyan had nothing to do, so he picked up two buckets and wanted to go to the river to pick up some water.
As soon as the scoundrel saw Xu Shiyan going out, he jumped out and followed Xu Shiyan, jumping left and right.
This time, it didn’t need its big tail to sweep the snow and clear its tracks, and just let it run wild all over the ground.
Xu Shiyan looked at the deadbeats jumping around on the ground and shook his head helplessly.
This guy really wants to become a man. Others are just dogs fighting for human power. This is a fox fighting for human power.
When placed next to Xu Shiyan, it can really jump and jump, and it is not enough for it to be squeaky.
Xu Shiyan was cursing in his heart when he suddenly saw the scoundrel running away without knowing what was going on.
Xu Shiyan was afraid that something would happen to this guy, so he quickly chased after him.
I saw the fiery shadow running quickly on the snow, heading south and arriving at a windy and sunny hillside.
Xu Shiyan was an experienced hunter after all. When he saw the terrain, he felt that there should be badgers here.
Sure enough, I saw the deadbeat stopped in front of a stone not far away.
There was a hole under the stone, and there was hoarfrost hanging at the entrance. It was obvious that something lived in the hole. I was not sure whether it was a badger or not.
Xu Shiyan put down the bucket and pole and started wandering around the area.
Under the roots of a big tree, another hole was found, also covered with hoarfrost. There should be badgers living underneath.
Badgers are semi-hibernating animals. They eat a lot of fat in the autumn and squat in their caves to sleep in the winter.
But occasionally I wake up, either to excrete or to find something to eat.
Badger's cave is very delicate, with several intricate passages inside, each with an exit, and each exit has a different function.
Some exits are also covered with grass, moss, and soil, which can be opened at any time.
If you find a badger hole, you can dig it out directly with a tool.
Badgers in winter are plump and hibernating. They move slowly and are easy to catch by digging holes.
Another way is to find all the exits, block the extra ones, and leave only two.
Then light firewood outside the entrance of a cave and smoke it. The badgers inside can't stand the smoke and will find an exit and run out.
If you leave a person or dog to guard the exit at the other end, you can catch it.
Xu Shiyan came to carry water today and did not bring a pickaxe. Although the soil at this time was not completely frozen, he could not dig it with his hands.
He planned to go back later, take the dogs out, use smoke, and train the dogs at home.
Thinking of this, Xu Shiyan stood up and picked up the bucket again, intending to fetch water. No.
But the scoundrel gave up and moved toward a dirt bag, making whining noises and digging at the dirt with his claws.
Xu Shiyan felt strange, so he had to put down the bucket again and went to the soil bag to check.
At first glance, I understood that this should be another cave entrance.
When we were looking for the two cave entrances, there was no movement at all, but here they kept digging at the soil and making noises.
Xu Shiyan's heart suddenly moved. Is there a badger under this exit?
Thinking of this, Xu Shiyan simply stopped carrying water. He put down the pole and bucket, took out the knife from his waist, and used it to dig out the soil.
It turned out that the soil was very loose and it was easy to dig out a big hole.
Using the light, I looked into the cave and saw three gray, fat guys squatting not far from the entrance, not even moving.
Xu Shiyan stretched out his arm and took out three plump badgers from the hole.
When I looked closer, it turned out that the eyes of these three badgers were covered with eye excrement. No matter how hard I blinked, it was useless. They were all blinded. Where could they run to?
No matter what kind of animal they are, they eat like crazy in autumn and accumulate a lot of fat.
The heat in the badger's body is very high, and the badger's nest is warm in the ground, so it is so hot that his eyelids are sticky.
It is estimated that the three badgers thought it was too hot, so they ran to an exit to get a cool breeze to dissipate the heat, but they were discovered by the scoundrel.
This was a good thing, Xu Shiyan caught three fat badgers alive.
Even if the badger is caught alive, it is impossible to take it back alive.
This thing is very fierce. Although they don't seem to move at the moment, it's because they are sleepy and their eyes are blurred and they can't see.
If we were led back like this, they would have to resist within a few steps.
This thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and sharp claws. If it bites and scratches it, the injury will be quite serious.
There is no other way but to kill the badger and take it back.
Xu Shiyan didn't say anything, and before Badger could react, he directly used a knife to clean it up.
Then he disemboweled them and threw the entrails to the scoundrels. When the scoundrels were full, Xu Shiyan threw the three dead badgers into the bucket and carried them back.
Before I could walk back to the venue, I heard a dog barking. From the sound, it seemed like someone was coming.
Xu Shiyan hurriedly walked back, and when he returned to the venue, he saw that it was Sun Xiaofeng who was taking Xu Shian.
"Second brother, why are you here? Is there anything going on at home?"
