Hearing Zhang Peng's words, Liu Zhiyong was shocked. What kind of family is this? They can just spend 120 yuan to buy a dog, but the family can't do it? He couldn't understand it no matter how much he thought about it, and said to Zhang Peng: "Zhang Peng,
You should think carefully, this nest costs 120 yuan, you have to weigh it in your mind."
"Brother Zhiyong, it's okay. First, the uncle's dogs are really good, and we fell in love with them. Second, when I came out, my mother told me that she wanted to take down this litter of puppies and give them back to her.
Along the rhubarb belt, there will be no shortage of dogs at home, and there will be protection when going up the mountain." Zhang Peng
He explained that he was not angry because of what Liu Zhiyong said before, and Zhang Peng felt a little embarrassed. According to the original plan, Liu Zhiyong wanted to pick the puppy first, and he came here first, but before he could say anything, he
Was cut off by Zhang Peng.
"Okay, just think about it, then I won't participate." Liu Zhiyong touched his pocket and took it out.
When Ma Jianghe heard that Liu Zhiyong didn't want it anymore, he just gave it to Zhang Peng. Besides, the price was not low, and the dog was indeed worth the price.
"Zhang Xiao'er, then you can take him away. It's been about a month and a half now, and the puppy has also been weaned." Ma Jianghe said and led a few people out to the front of the kennel, asking them to wait while he went over
Take the bitch away and then let Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming pass.
Zhang Peng took out six chubby puppies from the kennel. The puppies were a little shy, leaning against each other and shrinking back. Zhang Peng was very happy when he saw the puppies he took out.
A white puppy caught his attention. The puppy Zhang Peng placed on his hand also
He didn't move, but looked at Zhang Peng curiously, then opened his mouth and let out a big yawn, as if he was disdainful, with the demeanor of a master. Zhang Peng knew that this must be the white tiger. He didn't expect it to be like this when he was a child.
You have the temperament, this time you have found a treasure.
Ma Jianghe took out a broken wicker basket from the yard, put a layer of hay in it, and put all the puppies in. The six puppies didn't make any noise when they entered the basket, they just huddled together and looked around. Zhao Chunming
I couldn't help but tease the puppy next to me.
Zhang Peng handed the money to Ma Jianghe, and then chatted for a while. Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming were ready to leave. Liu Zhiyong also left together. He didn't have any other thoughts. He just felt it was a pity. If he had money, he would be better.
You can fight for it, but it doesn't matter now, the dog at home is enough.
After a few people left, Ma Jianghe learned about Zhang Peng's gains in the previous two days during the chat. He couldn't help but secretly lamented that he was getting old. At the same time, he also envied Zhang Peng's current age. It was really a good time. Ma Jianghe's back was a little rickety.
I slowly walked back to the house, probably recalling the days when I was young and in the mountains and forests.
Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming were chatting on the way home. Zhao Chunming was planning to go back and build a kennel. It wasn't winter yet and the weather wasn't very cold. So he put more hay in the kennel and put a sack on top.
In this way, the puppy can tolerate being outside. It is actually very simple to raise a dog in the Northeast.
, we will not put dogs inside the house unless they are sick and injured, or the dogs are too small to bear the winter. Hunting dogs need to be kept outside to adapt to the climate in the Northeast. Dogs often need to lie in snow shells when going up the mountain.
Here, they all have to adapt to the environment like humans.
"Chunming, let's pack up tomorrow and continue going up the mountain. Since Pan Dashen and the others didn't knock the blind bear down, let's go over and give it a try without bringing rhubarb, so that it can get familiar with the puppy at home, and then
We just walked around and put on clips, trying to get more furs to take back. The price of furs is pretty good now, and we can still make a profit before the winter."
In the Northeast, there are two ways to hunt in the mountains: One way is to follow the tracks left by animals with one person and one gun, which is called wandering. The other way is for hunters to hold guns and use hunting dogs to chase and surround animals, called dogs.
, hunting dogs became an important means of hunting
and tools, but they definitely don’t have the second one now. Even before Heizi died, in principle, they could only hunt with the sense of smell of hounds instead of hunting with dogs. In terms of quantity, they are not enough.
Can't contain large prey.
"Okay, second brother, I listen to you. I thought about the blind bear carefully later. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. He should be a thief now. The fact that he can escape so many times shows this problem, and there are
Very aggressive. My dad came back and said that people in neighboring villages were injured."
"Haha, Chunming can do it. He can analyze the situation. We have to use our brains when we go up the mountain for a walk. It is very important to check the environment and the direction of the prey's footprints. I have also considered what you just said, so
We must have the most basic psychological construction, that is, this blind bear is not injured, and is very cunning and dangerous. When we look for it, we must not miss any unusual movements or clues.
This is also a challenge for us. Now we have no shortage of meat at home, so wild boars are not so important to us. Hunting bears and other fur animals is what we want to do at this stage. We cannot waste time.
, Autumn is about to pass, and when winter comes, heavy snow will cover the woods again. Without hounds around, it will be difficult for us to catch up with the prey," Zhang Peng said to Zhao Chunming as he walked
"Second brother, I understand. Let's go into the mountains tomorrow and bring back more this time."
"Well, okay, do you have enough bullets?"
"It's enough. My dad got some for me and some for you. I'll give them to you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhao, I want to buy some more," Zhang Peng said with a smile
When the two returned home, they walked to the kennel. When Dahuang saw his owner coming back, he wagged his tail in welcome. When Zhang Peng stroked its head, it squinted its eyes in comfort, and then lay down with its belly facing Zhang Peng.
Peng and Zhao Chunming first placed the broken basket next to Rhubarb. Rhubarb smelled the smell of other similar species and stood up. When he saw the puppy in the broken basket, he smelled it cautiously.
Zhang Peng stroked Rhubarb and told it that it was a new member of the family and that he would take it with him in the future. Rhubarb seemed to be connected with its owner. He lowered his head and smelled it as if he had remembered the smell, and then turned around and rubbed Zhang Peng
Zhao Chunming let the puppy out, and the puppy didn't recognize it. They gathered around Dahuang and played around. Dahuang didn't show any signs of attack, so the two of them felt relieved.
"Second brother, Rhubarb is really good. Let's take care of this litter of bastards first. We'll probably be familiar with it by the time we come back from the mountain."
"Well, let's put this here first. When they get older, you can take three of them and put them at home. You have to let them get familiar with the new environment."
At this time, the door of Zhang Peng's house was pushed open, and Wang Xiufen came out with pig food. When she saw the chubby puppies, she also liked them from the bottom of her heart. She quickly put down the pig food in her hand and wiped it on her apron with a towel.
He walked over to the kennel, picked up a puppy and looked at it with care
"Son, this dog is really nice. They are all chubby. They look easy to feed, but they are just a bit too much."
"Aunt, there aren't many left. There are still three of mine in there," Zhao Chunming said from the side
"Ah? Your mother asked me to buy them? That's fine. When these six puppies grow up, plus rhubarb, our family can be regarded as a serious dog gang."
"Mom, there are only a few here, but they are still small dogs. It should be no problem to order a wild boar or something, it's easy," Zhang Peng replied with a smile
Zhang Xiaoqiao and Zhang Xiaolan also jumped in from the outside following Li Cuihua. They went to pick mushrooms. Autumn is also the time when mushrooms are most abundant. The two of them were carrying two baskets made of small willow branches, which were full of mushrooms.
All are tree mushrooms.
When they saw the puppy in Wang Xiufen's hand, they immediately cheered and gathered around. Li Cuihua knew that it was Zhang Peng and the others who had bought it, so she also stepped forward with a smile. Soon everyone was enchanted by the puppy.
