Chapter 36: The Dogs Hunt

Soon, in less than two months, the pheasants, wild ducks, hares, mountain rats and other small animals in a radius of ten or so miles were almost all caught or scared away by them, and they had to go farther away to hunt.

But it's dangerous to do so, and who knows if there are flood beasts in places they haven't been to?

Just when they were in a dilemma, the five dingo sisters had just finished their nursing period (a special period of breastfeeding their babies) and joined them in the hunt.

This is true: there is strength in man, and there is strength in dogs.

Lao Jiu formulated a new hunting plan according to the fact that there are few small animals at this stage, and there are more large herbivores such as wild sheep, wild deer, wild asses, and wild cattle.

One morning, a lonely little bison was leisurely eating grass by the brook, when five wild dogs suddenly ran out of the woods and rushed towards the little bison with a roar.

The little bison was stunned by this great change that seemed to fall from the sky, and stood there not knowing what to do.

These five wild dogs are naturally Lao Jiu's wife and five sisters, and they rush to the little bison and howl incessantly and take the opportunity to attack.

The little bison was bitten by these vicious wild dogs and the pain was unbearable, and then he woke up, so he quickly turned and ran away, panting in pain as he ran, trying to get rid of the entanglement of these wild dogs.

This idea of the little bison seems a little too simple.

The five sisters had no intention of letting it go, and they would chase it wherever it went.

The little bison had no choice but to run towards the mouth of the canyon, and it thought: out of the canyon is a plain, and only when it reaches the plain will it be safe.

The little bison ran desperately ahead, and it looked like it was about to pass through the mouth of the canyon.

Suddenly, a tall and mighty white-haired wild dog appeared in front of him to block the way, and by this time the little bison was exhausted from running with injuries, and after stopping again in fright, he could no longer run.

Of course, the wild dog that stood in the way was Lao Jiu, and then the five sisters also caught up, plus the foxes such as Hongxia'er who were ambushed on the side of the road, and they jointly attacked the little bison.

How the little bison can resist it soon became Lao Jiu's "meal on the plate".

After Lao Jiu was "full of wine and food", he took the leftover meat and bones to "return triumphantly".

Since then, when Lao Jiu and his wife often used this tactic to prey on large aquatic plants that were lonely, and the success rate was very high.

Nowadays, Lao Jiu's hunting skills are becoming more and more proficient, using the ventriloquist of the female fox Hongxiaer to trap small animals, and using hunting methods similar to capturing small bison when dealing with large animals.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Now Lao Jiu's hunting team has grown unprecedentedly, and the twenty-three puppies of the five wild dog sisters (including the five puppies born to Lao Wu Meihua) also joined in two months ago, so many wild dogs are enough to hunt a big bison.

However, on this day, Hongxia'er and her little foxes did not come.

This day is a very special day for Hongxia'er called "Fox Qing's Nest", that is, a coming-of-age ceremony similar to that of humans.

Because this is a traditional habit for foxes that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and is difficult to reverse.

The one-and-a-half-year-old fox is standing on the threshold of juvenile adulthood, which is a critical age for shaping character.

If the little fox at this age continues to stay in the old nest and stay with the female fox, it will cause character defects that can never be remedied, bringing about lifelong disasters.

All the little foxes that have not been cleared of their nests have low intelligence, low communication skills, low hunting skills, and it is difficult to find a mate when they grow up, and even if they have children, the survival rate of their offspring is extremely low.

It can be said that the fox clears its nest, conforms to the law of competition that eliminates the inferior and retains the good, and accepts the selection of nature, which has evolutionary benefits.

That is to say, as a little fox, if you have not been cleared at the turning point from childhood to adulthood, you have not experienced the pain of being expelled from your home, you will not have the adventure of wandering the world, you will not use your life as collateral to develop, and you will not have the ability to survive independently.

A fox that has never been cleared of its nest is like a knife that has not been quenched, a sword that has never been opened, it will never grow up, and it will always be a waste.

At this moment, Hongxia'er is desperately driving her six children out of the door, telling them to go out to find a new way to live on their own, and the family is no longer going to welcome them, so that they will no longer be nostalgic for their mother's home.

In fact, this made Hongxia'er, as a mother, both sad and headache, she was reluctant to let the children leave, and had to let them leave.

Because it was for their future, she had to tear them away.

She'd chased them away many times in a row, but every time she ran back again, she didn't know how many more times.

In the end, there were only two "leper dogs" left, who refused to leave.

Hongxia'er had no other choice but to decide not to give them food or accommodation, and let them go out and figure out a way by themselves.

Now, Hongxia'er is still at home "fighting a protracted war" with the children, but a huge crisis is quietly rushing towards Lao Jiu, who is hunting in the wild......

At this time, Lao Jiuzheng led the whole family of more than 20 people to go out to hunt, but they didn't find any prey for most of the day, not to mention bison, wild donkeys, wild sheep, wild deer and other large aquatic plants, and even pheasants, wild ducks, hares and other small animals are difficult to see.

In fact, the animals were not scared away by them, but sensed the danger of the king of the forest and fled early......

Just when Lao Jiu and his family were sitting on a small flat ground halfway up the hill to rest and play, a colorful tiger that had been hungry for several days from a long distance was approaching here lightly.

As soon as the tiger, which was almost starved, saw them, his saliva immediately drooled and he said in ecstasy: Wow! Yo Xi, the delicacy is greatly coming.

So much delicious work, enough for me to suck it up several times. The tiger drooled as he thought about it.
