Chapter 166: Wolf

The thin dog was originally a dog breed specially cultivated by ancient Chinese wealthy families for hunting, and was known for its speed. After entering the mountain forest, I was already eager to try. It's just that I didn't get the order of the rest of my life, so I can only honestly follow the rest of my life.

Alexander's shot not only hit a fat rabbit, but also startled two or three larger rabbits, jumped out of the corner where they had been hiding, and jumped into the distance. After hearing the order of the rest of his life, the little dog was in high spirits, and his slender body rushed out like an arrow.

And the rabbit's running speed and reaction speed obviously can't keep up with the speed of the little dog. Two creatures that survive in the natural world with their physical potential, between chasing back and forth, quickly separated the winner and loser. After catching up with the hare, the little dog slapped it with one paw and turned the rabbit into a daze. Then he saw the right moment and bit off the hare's neck in one bite!

However, the weight of the hare is significantly more than the estimate for the rest of its life and the range of the small dog's head. The little dog can't hold the hare with his beak to ask for credit for the rest of his life. can only drag all the way back to the rest of his life. And the blood of the hare was sprinkled all the way in the drag of the little dog.

Alexander exclaimed, "Oh, what a good dog! Mr. Yu, there aren't many dogs that can hunt now. Most so-called purebred dogs can do nothing more than help their owners drive away their prey, or find their prey after it has been shot dead. ”

Yu Sheng smiled. The rabbit weighing seven or eight pounds that he picked up from the little dog and put it in the bag on the back of the shire horse. He took out a piece of jerky from his bag and gave it to the little dog. Looking at its gobbling virtues, I feel good!

At this time, Alexander and Yu Sheng suddenly heard a deer cry of "Yo"! This was followed by a cacophony of hissing and running. In the midst of the mountains and forests, a herd of deer came running.

Alexander's face changed and he said, "Not good! Mr. Yu, let's avoid it for a while! Ever since the wolves of the Rocky Mountains were killed, the deer population began to multiply in large numbers! Listen to the voice. This herd of deer is not small, and it is coming for us. ”

"If the deer herd thinks we are enemies, we can't deal with the antlers of those bucks. After all, these deer are not yet allowed for us to hunt. ”

Yu Sheng agreed, turned the horse and left. Sharma and Ryan followed. Unexpectedly, the number of deer and the speed of running were far beyond Yu Sheng and Alexander's expectations. The two men left the place for only three or two minutes before they were overwhelmed by the deer. And separated.

Thankfully, the deer didn't see them as enemies for the rest of their lives. Although they surrounded Yusheng and Sharma, there were no bucks to push them with their antlers. And the little dog is a guy who is not tall enough. He had already known the opportunity to hide under the bellies of Sharma and Ryan. So it's safe and sound.

The only thing that was bad was that after being overwhelmed by the deer, Yu Sheng and Alexander were separated. Alexander's shouts were completely drowned out by the chirping and running of the deer. And the speed of the deer running is imperceptibly increasing. It was as if something was chasing after him.

And in the dusty sky, Yu Sheng heard a long and desolate howl not far away, straight up to the clouds. Shake your mind! Even with the calmness of the rest of his life, he couldn't help but change his complexion. It's a wolf howl!

In the early 20th century in the United States, the U.S. government began to hunt wolves on a large scale due to the harm of wolves to livestock. It's not just Wyoming. But wherever the Rocky Mountains pass through, the jungles are thick, and wolves are present. From Wyoming south to Caybab Forest in northern Arizona. Wolves that have bred on this continent for hundreds of thousands of years. They were all hunted down.

After decades of hunting, wolves have largely disappeared in the United States. However, the Americans have since tasted the consequences of the destruction of the ecological chain. For livestock raised on pastures, survival of the fittest is not yet obvious. Because the calves, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who could not be sold, had long been eaten by the humans themselves. However, for wild populations. Without the restraint of natural enemies, the survival of the fittest has ceased and the population has begun to degrade rapidly. Biologically, one of the most famous examples is the deer herd in Arizona!

The deer herd in Arizona's Kaibab Forest was probably more than 4,000 before wolves were wiped out, but after the wolves disappeared in large numbers. The number soon swelled to 100,000 heads! Although the deer herd itself also has the function of regulating the population. Large herds of deer migrate south or north in search of food. Some of the deer herds in Yellowstone that I saw for the rest of my life migrated from Arizona.

However, the deer that have the physical strength and courage to migrate are really a minority of the deer populations that have begun to degenerate. The proportion is extremely low. A large herd of deer remained in place and ate all the vegetation in the forest. The forests themselves began to degrade. Famine and disease inevitably occurred. It's only a few years. The deer herd has dropped from 100,000 at its peak to 40,000. By 1942, there were only 8,000 deer left in the entire Kaibab forest.

Roosevelt had to give the order to bring the wolves back. So, since then, wolves have bred in the United States. And, chasing food, wandering widely. Although Yellowstone's "lure the wolf into the house" plan only appeared in the later nineties. However, near Yellowstone, there are already traces of wolves chasing food. It's just that because the number is very small and the food is abundant, it does not harm the livestock raised by humans. Few could have noticed that the wolf had returned in the shadows.

After hearing the wolf's howl, Ryan, Sharma, and Little Dog also became visibly nervous. Listening to the howl of wolves for the rest of his life, it is estimated that the number of wolves chasing the deer herd will not be large. With a herd of deer attracting, you should still be safe. So, he rode Ryan, with the shire horse and the little dog, and left through the gap between the deer.

It's just that he was so surrounded by a herd of deer, but he was lost for the rest of his life. He wasn't familiar with the mountains and forests, and he didn't know where to go. I don't know where Alexander was carried by the deer. Therefore, you can only wander aimlessly in the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, before leaving, the preparation for the rest of my life was very thorough. Camping equipment such as tents, as well as some rations, were carried on the Sharma's back. So, I'm not very worried about the rest of my life. After determining the direction of the mountain, Yu Sheng rode Ryan and found a stream under the careful vigilance of the little dog. Set up camp here.

The rest of my life naturally knew that in the mountains and forests, next to a stream was not an ideal camping place. Once night falls. All kinds of wild beasts would go to the stream to drink. Carnivores also take advantage of this and hunt by streams. This point was already clear to the rest of his life when he watched "Animal World" in later generations.

However, as far as the rest of my life knows, in the mountains and forests, it is not all kinds of fierce beasts that can be called kings and hegemons. It's people. Man is the only creature in nature who can consciously use fire. And none of the other creatures are not afraid of fire. This is an instinct imprinted in the genes of living beings. Irresistible. Therefore, as long as a bonfire is lit, few creatures dare to approach the human camping ground. Even brown bears, tigers and leopards and the like.

And where the stream is. It was the only chance for the rest of his life to get out of trouble, and if Alexander hadn't found him tomorrow, he wouldn't have waited any longer. If you follow the direction of the stream, you will always find a human settlement. As long as you find any village, the rest of your life can be regarded as free. And with his blindness in the mountains and forests, it would be a great effort to leave the stream and return to this place again tomorrow.

However, although he read a lot in later life, he spent the rest of his life reading a lot. I also have some understanding of some basic survival knowledge in the mountains and forests. But when it comes to doing it, there are always omissions. For the rest of his life, he forgot about the fat hare that the little dog caught. After the blood has dried up and clotted, there is also a strong smell of blood. And the blood dripping on the road was not completely drowned out by the breath and hoof prints of the deer.

For a restaurant owner, barbecuing bunnies doesn't become a problem. With a knife for the rest of your life. After picking the rabbit's skin, gently tear it along the fragile part of its fur. The whole fat rabbit showed its fat flesh. For the rest of his life, he gave the rabbit's entrails to the little dogs, and tied the rest with debarked branches and put them on the fire.

The seasoning is on the back of Sharma's horse, and after rolling back and forth dozens of times, the rabbit is roasted a little bit, sprinkled with seasoning, and then baked for a while, and there is a rich aroma of meat. This day's toss made the rest of my life a little hungry. After peeling off the skin and removing the internal organs and bones, there were still three or four catties of meat in the rabbit, which was devoured by the rest of the life and killed seventy percent.

When he wanted to take a few more bites, he heard the little dog roaring wildly. The rest of my life knew something wasn't quite right. Turning to look at the place where the little dog was growling, he saw that in the faint twilight, a few pairs of green eyes lit up. The wolf, who was originally chasing the deer, actually gave up the deer after smelling the blood of the rabbit that the little dog hunted, and followed!

And in the eyes of these wolves who followed Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng and the two horses were not a big threat. The only thing that's a little tricky is the little dog. Therefore, he showed his figure without fear. After Yu Sheng saw the appearance of these wolves clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Among these wolves, except for two wolves, one male and one female, who are adult wolves, the other five wolves are just a few months old wolf cubs. I don't think I'm even half a year old. Apparently with no hunting experience, he howled milkily at Yu Sheng and the little dog, and grinned his teeth. Yu Sheng couldn't help laughing, this nest of wolves is definitely not here to hunt in a group, but to sell cuteness in a group.

The wolf is actually not much different from the dog, and it is the same ancestor. Male and female wolves generally meet in January and February after mating, and the female wolf will give birth to a litter of wolf cubs after 61 days of pregnancy. The quantity varies. There are only three or four few, and there are more than a dozen. And after the baby wolf is born, it will continue to eat wolf milk until it is five or six months old.

But after a month and a half, I was able to digest meat. At the age of three or four months, the wolf cubs will hunt with their parents, learning hunting skills and various ways to survive. When they reach the age of half a year, they can hunt on their own. When you count the time, these little wolf cubs are only three or four months old. And it is clear that these wolves are a family.

The laughter of the rest of their lives stunned the two adult wolves, who had preyed on many deer and other animals. None of them have such expressions when they see them. Either panic or turn around and run. Few have the courage to take on the challenge in person.

However, this adult wolf is indeed rich in predation experience, and the male wolf was stunned for a while, and took advantage of the rest of his life and the small dog to attack Sharma. Sharma was timid by nature, and although he was much larger than a male wolf, he did not dare to fight, so he turned around and ran. Yu Sheng let out a loud shout, and the speed of his reaction was far beyond the male wolf's expectations.

In an instant, he approached the male wolf and kicked the male wolf in the stomach. With the attainments of martial arts for the rest of his life, if this kick is not merciful, the internal organs of the male wolf must be kicked and exploded. Rao was like this, and this kick also kicked the male wolf to fly upside down for several meters, fell heavily to the ground, and wailed. I can't get up for half a day.

And when the male wolf attacked, the figure of the female wolf and several young wolves also moved. Several wolf cubs swarmed up and surrounded the little dog. The she-wolf ran towards Yusheng and Sharma. Unexpectedly, between the rise and fall of the rabbit, the situation changed sharply. The male wolf was kicked away by Yu Sheng, and the female wolf was only halfway through.

When the she-wolf saw that the situation was not good, she wanted to turn around and run, but it was too late. Yu Sheng rushed up and kicked the she-wolf in the stomach again. The wolf's innate ability to bite and fight was completely useless to Yu Sheng, a martial arts master. The two adult wolves were unlucky, and they didn't want to kill them for the rest of their lives, so holding the two wolves was a burst of punches and kicks. The two wolves were beaten and screamed. More pitiful than the abused dogs of later generations.

And a few little wolves are not at all the opponents of the little dogs, who are known for their speed, and the little dogs see a vacancy, so they grab the neck of a little wolf. Or the rest of his life shouted: "Don't bite to death!" "None of these little wolves will survive.

Nature has always been the law of the jungle, and wolves have a high IQ, and after discovering that they really can't handle the rest of their lives, they are honest. After Yu Sheng beat them up, the two wolves didn't run, squatted aside, and waited for Yu Sheng to let go of the five little wolves with his eyes down.

For the rest of his life, he has always had an inexplicable affection for canines. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken in the little dogs back then. For a few little wolves who barked milkily, there was naturally no bad feeling. And it seems that these little wolves are also really hungry. No matter how the little dog drove away, he desperately tried his best to get the rabbit meat that was roasted for the rest of his life.

After seeing that the two adult wolves were honest, Yu Sheng tore the remaining rabbit meat, divided it into five parts, and fed it to the five wolf cubs. At this time, Sharma was also found back by his boss Ryan. Looking at the wounds on his mane, he thought that Ryan had beaten this huge, timid, and embarrassing thing. (To be continued.) )
