This fiery red figure is the red fox that followed Zhang Peng out before but did not come back. When he came back this time, he did not come in with an empty mouth. He had a snow-white rabbit in his mouth. After entering the house, he put the rabbit away.
On the ground.
"You guys came back just because of the smell. You are quite polite. You will gain something if you go out. This is the accommodation fee for us!" Hou Damao said jokingly when he saw the red fox like this. "Haha, no matter what, this is what others want. We have to keep this gift and give it two more pieces of meat to eat later." Zhang Peng heard Hou Damao's words and said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Peng's words, Wang Xiaoli smiled by the stove, then picked up the rabbit on the ground and weighed it with his hands. Not to mention that such a fat rabbit was really hard to find, and it was quite easy to catch this fox.
Awesome.
The rabbit hadn't been frozen yet, and its body was relatively soft, so Wang Xiaoli didn't waste any time. He got up and walked out. He then skinned and disemboweled the rabbit in a series, threw the rabbit's internal organs away, and buried the rabbit meat in the snow.
into the ground, and then took the leather and returned to the underground cellar.
"Ready for dinner." Wang Xiaoli returned to the cellar, rinsed his hands with water, and said to Zhang Peng and the others.
The red fox on the ground seemed to understand. He sat up straight, raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaoli, as if he was waiting for Wang Xiaoli to put down the meal.
After this meal, Zhang Peng and the others were full. Even the red fox stopped eating and lay aside. They were really hungry this day. They couldn't eat well during the day, and these meats arrived.
The stomach will quickly replenish the energy they consumed during the day, making them lie on the kang one by one and not want to move.
In the end, Zhang Peng stood up, put the rhubarb and others in, closed the door, climbed onto the kang, and soon fell asleep.
Zhang Peng slept very comfortably that night. If it weren't for the rhubarbs scratching the door early in the morning and trying to get out, Zhang Peng would have wanted to sleep a little longer. But after getting up and going outside, he breathed the air in the forest, which made Zhang Peng's whole body
They all became energetic.
"Second brother, you got up so early." After a while, Wang Xiaoli also pushed open the door of the cellar and walked out, saying to Zhang Peng who was stretching outside.
"Ah, Rhubarb and the others were scratching at the door this morning trying to get out. I followed them out, but they were completely awake when they got outside. Why did you get up? You should sleep a little longer at such an early hour." Zhang Peng heard Wang Xiaoli's words and said,
explained.
"I can't sleep anymore. I went to bed a little early yesterday, and I woke up at this time." Wang Xiaoli said and walked into the woods nearby.
Zhang Peng called to the gang of dogs who were still running wild, put on ropes one by one, and then tied them to the place where they were yesterday. That place had been covered with a layer of pine branches and was temporarily their place to stay after returning. p>
When Wang Xiaoli came back, he went into the cellar, washed his hands, and started to make breakfast. Breakfast was relatively simple. The remaining broth from last night, plus the pickles he brought and the remaining corn flour pancakes
, this breakfast is settled.
Zhao Chunming and Hou Damao, who heard Wang Xiaoli cooking, also rubbed their eyes and sat up. After calming down for a while, they stood up and walked out of the cellar.
"Good morning, second brother." The two of them came out of the cellar, greeted Zhang Peng, and then went into the forest.
Zhang Peng was teasing the red fox outside. This guy seemed to like to be crazy. He kept running back and forth around Zhang Peng, causing the rhubarb not far away to whine. It also wanted to play with Zhang Peng.
.
After they have eaten, they will continue yesterday's distribution method. The efficiency of separation is still good. After all, they have already hunted prey separately yesterday. This is a good start, and it also shows that this method of separate hunting is feasible.
of.
Zhao Chunming and Hou Damao left after eating. They walked along a familiar route to the alkali field. When they were near the alkali field, Zhao Chunming and Hou Damao happened to pass by the place where the roe deer were treated yesterday.
"Huh?"
Hou Damao glanced at it inadvertently, but he became a little confused. He found that the sewer that was hung on the tree yesterday was gone, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground when he handled it.
"What's wrong? Damao." Zhao Chunming heard Hou Damao's voice and turned to look at him.
"Brother, I hung up there yesterday and went into the water. Why is it gone today?"
"Ah?"
After hearing Hou Damao's words, Zhao Chunming also looked in the direction of Hou Damao's finger. Indeed, nothing was left, leaving only a pool of blood on the snow.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Chunming quickly took off the gun from his back. He carefully observed the surroundings and scanned the area inch by inch, but found no suspicious signs.
"Da Mao, let's go over and take a look, be careful." Zhao Chunming said softly to Hou Damao.
"Okay, brother."
Then Hou Damao picked up the ax and followed behind Zhao Chunming, slowly leaning forward, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings to deal with unexpected situations.
When the two of them walked to the pool of blood, Zhao Chunming lowered his head and carefully examined the traces on the ground. He found that there were only two traces of marks on the ground. One was left by Hou Damao when he disemboweled the roe deer yesterday, and the other was
This is a new addition.
Zhao Chunming squatted on the ground and observed a new set of paw prints on the ground. They were obviously left by meat-eating animals. The marks were very light. Looking at the shape of the paw prints, Zhao Chunming's pupils shrank sharply.
,Why the hell does this look so much like a leopard.
Just because this series of footprints is very shallow, Zhao Chunming really doesn't dare to be 100% sure that it is a leopard, but there is still an 80% chance of being sure.
"Da Mao, we may be in trouble, this looks like it belongs to a leopard." Zhao Chunming stood up, then turned to Hou Damao and said.
"What the hell, leopard, how can we encounter this thing?" When Hou Damao heard the leopard, he also clenched the hand ax in his hand, and then said nervously to Zhao Chunming.
"Damn, what are you afraid of? There are two of us. It usually doesn't dare to attack. Even if it wants to attack, it has to consider whether it can defeat the two of us. Besides, this guy in my hands is not just trying to make a fuss.
Stick." When Zhao Chunming heard Hou Damao's words, he said to him angrily.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Now? Let's take a look along the footprints first. If you encounter it, kill it. If it doesn't work, go back and find the second brother. This thing is worth a lot of money. How can it equal what we gained from going up the mountain this time?" Zhao Chunming said first.
After thinking for a while, he said harshly.
This is a good opportunity. Zhao Chunming doesn't want to miss it. If there is a chance, he will call back. If not, he can follow the traces to know its approximate location. This way, when Zhang Peng and the others come over, they will be able to follow the traces.
.
When Hou Damao heard Zhao Chunming's words, he was a little hesitant. After all, this thing is not like an ordinary prey. It is a leopard. It may attack anywhere at any time, so Hou Damao still feels that it is better to be cautious.
