Chapter 414: Among the Clever Prey
This group of coyotes is not easy to deal with, very cunning, Li Han and Jem, and the Smith brothers discussed for an hour, first set up traps in the most likely places where wild wolves are most likely to haunt. Smith and his party continued to search the hounds where they were most likely to hide, and as for tracking hoof prints, wait for the bulldozer to arrive.
There is a road that is open to traffic, there is a bulldozer, and Li Han only needs to take Jem enough to deal with it, no matter how fierce and cunning the guy is, he is not blocked by the heavy snow, and he is not at the mercy of others. "Jem, you ask Hughton, has the snow cleared around the cattle farm, and the bulldozer has driven over, but there is only a small road, no. ”
Li Han was eagerly looking forward to ordering a bulldozer to arrive, if the farm itself had such a big guy, he would have opened a lot of roads, and he would have to wait until Xiao Wang's farm was busy and borrowed it. "Hughton said yesterday that it would take two more days, and that tomorrow the snow would be cleared around the cattle farm and George's Farm. ”
"That's good. ”
There is no snow to block, pickups, tractors can go, and the grass and fodder transported are much more convenient, as long as the animals entering the farm are not close to the living area and pastoral area, Li Han does not plan to find trouble, of course, wolves, bears, bison such big guys, Li Han has to drive out, it is too dangerous. "Smith, rest and you'll have to work later. "It's a pity that there are no snowmobiles, Li Han made several calls to Kaidi, but there is no stock in the small town of Butun, and he will not be able to get it for a while.
The Smith brothers went to fix it, and Li Han discussed it with Jem. "Jem, you can rest too, I'll sum it up again. "Well, Han, there's something different about these wolves. Jem said with a frown.
There is no connection between these places, and this group of wild wolves is elusive, and the incident at Mihir's farm makes this group of wild wolves even more extraordinary. "The beef is almost soaked, these cunning fish, the bait is ready. ”
Li Han took out the beef from the spring water in the soaking space, and went downstairs lightly. wanted to scare my dad in the kitchen, who knew that just when I got closer, my dad turned around with a wow, and ran back in fright. "Hahaha, little ghost. ”
Li Han smiled and held the head of the cow soaked in the spring, pouted Lao Gao with a small mouth, twitched his little nose, and his big eyes turned around, the corner of Li Han's mouth showed a hint of a smile, this girl found that the cow head was different. This is soaked in spring water. "Come and tell Daddy how you caught the wolf. ”
With a pouting mouth, he reluctantly rubbed to his father's side. "The meat is in the snow, is it gone?" Li Han nodded his little head when he saw it. "Well, the mother wolf and the father wolf came with the little wolf, and the mother wolf was very hungry, and there was no grandmother to feed the little wolf. ”
Li Han thought about it, this is a solution, but Mihir Farm lost four sheep. With enough for these wild wolves to eat for several days, beef may not be very attractive. Li Han put his head aside, hugged Dudu and called the farm, and the call had just been made. Li Han didn't say a word, and his mother disliked letting Li Han call Dudu, and later talked to the baby for a while. Li Han slept on the sofa, and the call was not over yet.
But the voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be Jennifer. Li Han pretended to continue to sleep, and the little words that Dudu said were really funny, but I don't know if Jennifer believed that Dudu picked up a small dog. "Hey. How about resting. ”
Li Han asked with a smile when he saw Smith and the others coming out. "Not bad, Han, you need to rest a little longer, maybe we'll just get there. "No, I'm fine now. Li Han said that he went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and his spirit was shocked. "Hughton, I brought a bull's head from town and planned to set a trap, and Hughton said that you are very good at setting a trap, so I will leave it to you. "No problem. Jem took the bull's head and said.
Everyone began to prepare, set off in a while, tonight to spend the night outside, prepare a lot of things, less than one thing will cause trouble, winter snow and cold night is the biggest enemy, deadly. "Let's go. ”
The two little ones are also ready, and I don't want to take the two little ones with me, but I don't feel at ease. The two little ones rode wild boars behind the group, and the road was better than before.
"There are three forks in the road ahead, hoof prints were found here in the morning, probably last night. Jem said, pointing to a path ahead. "The wolf may have followed this trail over the hillside. "There are no dogs here. Dudu shook his little head and wrinkled his little nose and said.
"Really?"
Li Han pinched his little nose, little ghost head. "Well, the dog walked this way. The Smith brothers and the cowboys didn't believe it, Jem was also skeptical, and only Li Han believed the little guy. "Jem, let's take this road, see, this path is too dangerous to climb over this hillside. ”
The snow does not go up the mountain, although the slope is very gentle, and the snow slope is more than a meter thick, so it is completely impossible to walk. "Well, Smith gave me a set of traps. Smith put down his backpack and pulled out a pile of planks and rope, springs, and long nails.
Dudu looked at Jem curiously, and for a moment the scattered thing turned into a three-dimensional trap, and the bull's head was used as bait. "This road, left and right is the way to the farm, and this side is towards the pasture, and the wild wolves are most likely to pass through here again. ”
Jem said to Li Han.
"Grandpa Jem, what is this?"
Dudu was full of curiosity, not knowing what Jem was doing, Jem smiled and told Dudu about the usefulness of the trap, and the little Dudu pouted Lao Gao. "Dudu, don't pester Jem, Jem, take a break, let's get on our way. ”
There is a small shrub here, and you can come back in the evening, rest, and follow the road that Dudu pointed to, and sure enough, the wolf's hoof prints appeared after a few miles. "These cunning fellows have swept away all the hoof prints in front of them with their tails. ”
That's right, it took a few miles to see hoof prints, all of which were wolf hoof prints. "That's right, Han, come and see, these hoof prints, I counted them, there are twelve in total, look at this hoof print. "Hey, it's obviously bigger. ”
"That's right, we didn't find out before. ”
Jem smiled, this hoof print may be the head wolf of this group of wild wolves, that is, the wolf king. "This guy is cunning. Li Han compared, the white wolf's hoof prints, roughly estimated, much worse.
The wild wolf is smaller than the wild wolf, and the size of this wolf king is estimated to be not much bigger than the gray wolf, and it is much worse than the white wolf. Dudu also jumped down from the wild boar, big boots, Li Hanti slipped over, the little guy is so thick with snow, it is not easy for adults to walk.
Dudu counted the hoof prints and gestured, fourteen, two more, Li Han kept an interest in his heart. "These footprints appear to have been left in the morning. Jem pulled down the snowflakes and estimated the time according to the size of the snow that was falling now.
"I can't catch up. ”
Li Han sighed, and looked away from a bush in the distance, and pointed to a path with a little finger, and the wild wolves turned, and there seemed to be another farm corn field on the other side. "Let's go, go ahead and take a rest, there's an abandoned wooden house here. ”
This side did not belong to the Pearl Flower Ranch because Li Han bought a small farm, and the previous houses were torn down, leaving only an abandoned wooden house on the side of the hillside. The group arrived at the cabin, and the Smith brothers went in first. "Han, Jem, come and have a look. ”
The room was a little messy and even one side had been overwhelmed by the continuation, and only one side was good. "These wolf hairs, maybe we guessed wrong, the wolves came from here, look to see if there are any other traces. ”
Everyone looked around, and sure enough, it didn't take long. "Sheepskin and bones. Li Han frowned, no. "Jem, the Mihir Farm sheep seem to be meat sheep, I remember it's white fur, right?"
"That's right. ”
Jem was stunned. "But the fur here is grayish-brown, and the two sheep are not from Mihir Farm. "There is also a possibility that we meet two packs of wolves. Li Han's brows furrowed tightly, if this was the case, it would be even more troublesome.
Brother Smith said. "Han, this is unlikely, wolves have a strong sense of territory, and it is impossible to have two packs of wolves in one place. "Smith makes a point, but the sheep look like they were eaten yesterday, so could it be that the wolves went to another farm before they went to Mihir Farm.
Li Han and Jem frowned, pinching their little noses and pulling the baby sister, there is no snow here but it stinks. "Clean it up. Jem said, and after a while the cabin was cleared and a fire was lit.
"Rest for a while, we have to get back to the fork before dark. ”
Jem said to the crowd, and Brother Smith began to cut down some trees and tie them up with ropes, and now there were large wild boars to use, and these trees were enough to burn a fire at night. There is only one bush around the three forks that is still used as a sleeping place, and the trees in other places have been cleaned up by Li Han, the pasture has been renovated, and many barren shrubs and bushes have been cut down, and the Smith brothers are credited here. Dudu and the baby sat by the fire and baked bread, the crust was crispy and crispy, happily peeled off, and clicked into the mouth.
The bottle was warmed in the hanging pot, and the Gollum drank a belly, and then climbed on the back of the wild boar, went back, and pounced on the air. It was getting dark, and when I returned to the three-way intersection, the group was too tired to work.
Dinner was simple beef and bread, a pot of boiling water, and the two little ones brought food and snacks for everyone to eat, but except for the brothers Li Han and Smith, Jem took some symbolically, and no one else took it.
The two little guys turned around, happily stuffed a lot of snacks into their mouths, and finally drank up a large bottle of milk, Dudu took the empty bottle and climbed on the big black black body, took out a large bottle of milk from his bag, smiled and filled the empty bottle, and returned to the fire with the full bottle.
It was getting dark, and the group rested for a while, and Jem planned to go and see the trap. (To be continued......)
