Chapter 796 The head wolf who became a fine
The place where this mark disappeared was a mountain forest, a forest in October, overgrown with weeds, and you didn't even know what danger was hiding inside.
If you search the mountains like this to find the wolf, it is likely that the wolf will not be found, and it will startle the snake in the grass, although there are not many poisonous snakes in Taihang Mountain, but no one wants to be bitten by the snake, right?
So after discussion, the big guy felt that this place was close to the water source, and the wolf had a better chance of drinking here, so he camped on the spot, and set up a trap nearby and set up a bait.
At the same time, on the nearby grass, a red cloth strip is tied a few meters apart, and countless red cloth strips are used to form an encirclement, if the wolf is chased into the encirclement surrounded by the red cloth strip, basically it will not jump out.
This is Wang Changlu's idea, as for what the principle is, he only said that he doesn't know, and he learned it from the older generation, and others don't study it deeply.
When they were almost ready, they went back to camp to rest, and at the same time laid some rope nooses on the lake to lass the ducks.
In the evening, when it was dark, the harvest was not bad, and there were two of them, which was considered a bit of a tooth sacrifice.
The old hunter also collected the remains of the ducks and put them in the hollows under the dead trees nearby, and dug a few small holes in the trunks of the trees to ventilate the wind.
In order to make it easier for the scent of the duck to spread in the wind, according to him, the smell can travel for several miles, and it is best used to lure wolves.
At this time, the beggar Seungsu recalled that when he went to bed that night, he always felt unsteady and panicked, and he didn't know why.
In the middle of the night, the hounds outside the tent suddenly barked, waking up the entire wolf-fighting team.
There are six hunting dogs, the leader is one of the pure black hunting dogs, is Wang Changlu's love dog, has seven years of hunting experience, once fought two wolves at the same time, saved his life, and is also the leader of this group of dogs.
At this time, it was the one who barked the most, although the other hunting dogs were also barking, but Wang Changlu was obviously lacking in confidence, just listening to the barking of the dogs, he judged that there was trouble.
Everyone was also quite an experienced hunter, so they naturally understood, so they quickly got up and watched, staring cautiously around.
Yan Yongchun suddenly threw the torch in his hand forward, in the direction where the water source was, there was a big stone, there was a wolf, under the light of the fire, his body was white, and his two dark green eyes were exceptionally bright, it was indeed a wolf.
Seeing the wolf on the first day of departure, everyone was still very excited, but Wang Changlu was not happy at this time, and his mood was suddenly a little abnormal at this time, muttering to himself: It is here to seek revenge, it is here to seek revenge!
The big guy didn't understand what he meant, and asked him what's wrong, why did he say that, but Wang Changlu just shook his head vigorously, looking at him like that, as if he recognized the wolf.
And the wolf, also staring at this side calmly, has no intention of running at all, you must know that usually the wolf is very afraid of fire, light the fire or torch, the wolf will immediately run away without a trace.
The old hunter had already set up his bow and arrows, his crossbow was special, the range was long, the accuracy was high, and he didn't think much about it at the moment, he aimed at the wolf is an arrow, and after a snort, the wolf jumped into the grass next to him, and disappeared, and he didn't hear the wolf howl or anything.
The old hunter hurriedly searched for the past with a few brave men, and even the wolf was gone, and it seemed that he had run away, but someone could see clearly that the wolf was lame on one leg.
Later, the hounds were let go, but except for the leading dog who dared to search around, the other hounds were as if they had seen a natural predator, and they all wilted, and kept humming, circling around the hunters, obviously afraid.
Obviously, Wang Changlu's abnormality, a few people saw it, he hid some secrets and didn't want to say, someone asked him and he didn't say anything, at that time, I felt that people didn't want to say it, just a wolf, so many people and dogs, can it still be harmed?
After another fruitless search, everyone went back to the camp to rest, but two people were left to let out the wind, during which all the dogs were unchained, and if there was nothing unusual, they would stay here very honestly.
In the second half of the night, suddenly a dog barking woke everyone up again, and the dog barking farther and farther away, it was obvious that the leading dog was chasing something while barking, and as for the other dogs, they were still lying next to the tent, and they didn't say a word one by one.
Wang Changlu was like being sick at this time, and his whole state was not very good, after all, it was his beloved dog, but he was not worried at all now, it was very abnormal.
At this time, Yan Yongchun was already reminding the beggar Chengzhu and his party to pay attention to this person, after all, dealing with wolves, there was no room for abnormalities in the team, although this person's previous achievements were very prominent.
The beggar Seungsu was also wondering, but he didn't think there was anything strange in it, and he also said that there was something wrong with this person's family, which caused him to lose his soul a little.
As for the lead dog that ran out, it soon stopped moving, and the other dogs were like waste, and they didn't work at all, so everyone had to go out and look for them.
At that time, one person was left to accompany Wang Changlu to look at the base camp, and the others divided into three ways and went out to find clues.
The beggar Seungsu came in a group of five people, and after looking for about half an hour, he found the body of the leading dog under a tree, which was already dead, and there was no bite mark on his body, so he died inexplicably.
After searching again, there was no shadow of the wolf, and the five of them went back, and at this time, Wang Changlu and the hunter who accompanied him to take care of the base camp were gone.
The dogs, however, were still lying beside them, and the three of them thought that they might have run away by themselves, so they barked for a long time, but there was no response, and they called the old hunter a few times, but there was no sound.
At this time, the five of them felt that this matter was becoming more and more mysterious, and hurriedly lit a fire, and greeted in unison, and after a while, Lao Wang and several other hunters hurried back, asking what was wrong, what was abnormal.
Only then did he tell the story again, and the old hunter was also confused, and let people patrol around, and there was no movement around at all, and the two big living people disappeared like this.
At this moment, far away, the howl of a wolf was heard, and the old hunter said that it was the sound of a wolf summoning its own kind.
Sure enough, within a moment, there were a lot of wolf howls in the mountains, echoing them.
At this time, everyone panicked, if this wolf fighting team was still in the same state as when they set off, even if they encountered wolves, experienced hunters, and cultivators with extremely strong cultivation, they would not be afraid at all.
But now it is obvious that the hunting dog has no effect, and there are two people missing, and Wang Changlu's performance during this time makes everyone feel that the wolf is no longer just a wolf, so it is a little difficult to deal with.
Of course, these are all speculations, and there is no factual basis, after all, the cause of the death of the leading dog has not yet been clarified, and there is no direct evidence to prove that Wang Changlu's abnormality has anything to do with the wolf.
The big guy panicked, but he didn't plan to retreat like this, but decided to wait for the two of them in place, and if they didn't see each other until dawn, they would split up to look for them, after all, it was two lives.
After about half an hour, more than a dozen bonfires were lit in front of and behind the camp, on the one hand, to signal the missing two, and on the other hand, to scare the wolves, according to normal logic, wolves are afraid of fire.
At that time, the beggar Chengzhu vaguely felt that Wang Changlu and the hunter were afraid that they would be killed and would not be able to come back, at least Wang Changlu would not be able to come back, and it turned out that his guess was correct.
So I waited until dawn, and I didn't wait for the two of them, and at this time the rest of the hounds were also in good spirits one by one, and they didn't have the same nest as last night, and it is estimated that they didn't know it yet, and they no longer had a leader.
At the time of departure, there were thirteen people in the wolf fighting team, and there were already nine people left at this time, and everyone was afraid of another accident, so they did not look for it separately, but went together.
It took more than an hour or so to find the hunter beside a cliff, and when he saw the large army, he could not help but cry.
Then, with a frightened face, he told everyone that Wang Changlu ran out, and he followed out, and chased him all the way to here, and he jumped into the cliff, whether he was dead or alive, I don't know yet.
At this time, the old hunter spoke: "If my estimate is right, Wang Changlu is possessed by the head wolf he killed!" When I was young, an uncle of my clan was chasing and killing an injured wolf, and later when he went into the mountains to hunt, he suddenly ran around like crazy and screamed, and jumped off a cliff, and when the others went down, they were already dead. ”
After going back, Wang Changlu's death, and the old hunter told the death of that person, in the village spread very evil, everyone said that the injured head wolf chased back then, may be Wang Changlu's last year was the same wolf, that is, last night's wolf, eighty percent of it became a fine, can not be provoked.
After that, there was a terrible atmosphere in the village for a while, and at night the doors of the houses were closed, and the children were so frightened that they did not dare to go out during the day.
This year's winter came very quickly, with heavy snow in November and a terrible low temperature.
But the beggar Seung-so is very happy at this time, because this is the best time to catch skunks, and he only needs to make a few holes to catch multiple skunks every night, and the fur of this thing can be exchanged for money.
During this period, the wolf fighting team also killed a few wolves in a scattered manner, all of which were lone wolves who came into the village in the middle of the night.
The Fallen Hole is the same as the Tomb of Hades, both of which are traps, but the trap of the Fallen Hole is much smaller, only for small animals such as skunk voles, and it is very simple to make.
Find a wooden stick with a thickness of three to five inches, cut off the tip of one end, and drill a hole thirty or forty centimeters deep in the ground at a nearly vertical angle.
Then splash water on the cave wall, because the weather is cold, the water freezes quickly, put bait in the hole in the evening, at night as long as the skunk gets into the hole, the body can not bend, the cave wall is smooth, it is impossible to climb out, the next morning just pull the skunk's tail.
After hitting a lot of holes, the beggar Seungsu went back to the village, and went early the next morning as soon as it was dawn, which was also for fear that the prey would be stolen by others.
Strange to say, when he arrived, there was not a single skunk, but there were many paw prints on the snow, and he wondered if it might have been eaten by the stray dogs in the village.
He cursed a few words, and just when he was about to go back, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the paw prints on the ground were very large, obviously not dog paw prints.
That's a wolf!
Although the place where the cave is located is not far from the village, the beggar Seung-su came alone at this time, and if he really met the wolf, he probably wouldn't have a chance to run back to the village.
So he hurriedly looked around, and felt that there was no danger, so he hurriedly trotted all the way towards the village.
When he was about to reach the entrance of the village, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, someone suddenly shouted out from a family at the entrance of the village, saying that there was a wolf.
Then the door of his house creaked open, and it was a real sight at the time, old hunter, this family was his temporary residence.
The man limped out, looking very flustered, and the beggar Seungsu hurriedly stepped forward to ask him: "What's the matter, uncle, is there a wolf at home?" ”
