Chapter 8: The Legend of the Demon Wolf
The gray wolf that Ge Zhuang called is not big, about half a meter long, the coat color is very light, and the side and the outside of the legs have yellow-brown hair, this is a typical mountain wolf, generally only living in groups, I didn't expect to be hunted by Ge Zhuang alone.
Qian Yong was very worried, and said that the wild wolves in the mountains generally live in packs, Brother Ge, did you see other wolves when you were fighting wolves? Ge Zhuang said no, the fat man chased a hare into the mountain at first, and lost it from a distance, and did not find the hare after looking for a long time, but he saw blood on the ground, so he looked for half a mile along the smell of blood, and saw a wolf head in the grass, and his eyes were green light, so he fired two shots at it, ran over to see, the wolf cubs were lost, and only the she-wolf who was shot couldn't run, so he carried it back, there was a problem?
This dead fat man didn't care about anything, but Qian Yong was not as relaxed as him, and said with a worried face, "I hope that what you hunted is just a lone wolf, if you run into wolves, we can bear it tonight." ”
Ge Zhuang has already figured out * and started to peel the wolf, he didn't care when he heard this, and said what are you afraid of, we have guns in hand, even if we encounter wolves, we are not afraid, besides, this beast is afraid of fire, and the fat master will help you set up the bonfire in a while, and form a circle, won't you?
Qian Yong didn't say anything, squatted back on the ground and sat down, and soon after Ge Zhuang peeled off the wolf skin and threw it to Chen Yun to keep out the cold, and the remaining wild wolf meat was roasted on the fire, and a part of it was roasted, and it was distributed to everyone for use first, but Qian Yong refused to take it, saying that the wild wolves in the mountains are all spiritual, and they can recognize the smell, I don't eat this wolf meat, and you'd better not eat it, so as not to be hated by the wolves.
Ge Zhuang laughed at him for being cowardly, saying that you have also carried a gun on the battlefield, so you are still so cowardly to send you to eat meat? Qian Yong smiled and said that I was still young when I went to fight in southern Xinjiang, how many years have I been, what is there to show off?
He refused to eat the wild wolf meat hunted by Ge Zhuang, and we didn't persuade him, Ge Zhuang gave me the roasted wolf meat, and I took * and skewered it, and was about to eat it, when there was a sudden sound of chiseling wood outside the forest farm, and a harsh sound like a chainsaw came, and I was on guard, and I heard the sound of movement coming from a low slope in the west.
"Grandma's, did you really come to the door?" Ge Zhuang was the most unbelieving in evil, and strode towards the west with his rifle, I was afraid that he would make a mistake, so I grabbed * and followed behind, turning over the weeds, the wind was blowing strongly, and the fierce wind was blowing from the forest, and the big jungle was empty, and there was no half a figure in sight.
Not far ahead, I found some scattered footprints, squatted down to check, and when I saw it clearly, I said to Ge Zhuang, "There was really a wild wolf just now, there are not many footprints, it should be just another lone wolf." ”
Ge Zhuang sneered, "Could it be that the she-wolf was hunted by me, so the male wolf came to cry the grave?" "I scolded, don't talk nonsense, it seems that Lao Qian's concerns are not untargeted, this beast has the most sensitive sense of smell, and he will definitely be able to smell and find it, so don't eat the wolf meat first, dig a pit and bury it.
Ge Zhuang said don't mind, fat man, I have worked hard to get a little fresh, how can I say bury it, how good it is for me not to eat it. I said that you are a dead fat man is really beautiful and taboo, what do you know except for your own mouth?
Ge Zhuang scratched his big belly and said that the fat man still knew how to drill the big girl's squeaky nest.
I took this dead fat man out of the way, returned from the forest, the old bell asked us what we found, I shook my head, said we didn't see anything, but there were a few footprints on the ground, I am afraid that because of the fat man's actions, we were targeted by wild wolves.
Qian Yong immediately stood up with a gun, and said with a calm face No, we have to move immediately, it's not too late now, the forest farm is so big, let's leave the corpse of the toothed wolf here and camp in another place. Lao Zhong said that it is so serious?
Qian Yong said, "I have to guard against it, I grew up here, and I haven't dealt with wild wolves once or twice, let me tell you, the old wild things in the mountains are very fine, and some are afraid that they will become the climate and become weird, and the one who came over just now should be just the vanguard sentry post in the wolf pack, in order to find out how many people there are on our side, and whether they dare to start." ”
Ge Zhuang said Lao Qian, you just blow it blindly, I don't believe it, this wild wolf can still be smart?
Seeing that he didn't believe in himself, Qian Yong had no choice but to sit down, the bonfire emitted a pale yellow firelight, shining on his face thinly, Qian Yong opened his mouth to tell us a story:
He was still young that year, there was an old hunter in the village, he had hunted all his life in this poor ravine, he was very familiar with every grass and tree in the mountains, he even hunted bears, but he never dared to shoot the lone wolf at will, someone in the village asked him why, the old hunter said that the wolves in the mountains have a way, and they have been cultivated into spirits for decades, and if they kill them, it will hurt the heavens and reason, and the mountain god will not bless us again.
Of course, no one would believe this, the sun was unstable that year, the red wave swept the country, the old hunter's words were regarded as a reversal of historical progress, and some people warned him not to talk nonsense.
But not long after, something happened.
There is a bare-bottomed child in the village who went into the mountains to herd cattle, and did not come back at night, the township mobilized the masses to look for it, and went into the mountains to look for a circle, but found half of the straw sandals that ran away at the cliff break, the straw shoes were worn by the cow child, and many wild wolf footprints could be found near the straw shoes, and the villagers concluded that the child must have met the wolves on the mountain, panicked, and was forced to jump off the cliff by the wolves.
There were children in the village who were in trouble, and everyone was excited, and they discussed going up to the mountains to kill the wolves, and took the root of the curse. The people of the village all sharpened their knives, but only the old hunter stood up to stop them, saying that the wild herds in the mountains were all refined and could not be killed, otherwise they would be punished.
In the sixties and seventies of the last world, the effect of saying this kind of thing can be imagined, and someone stood up on the spot to accuse the old Orion, saying that he was engaged in feudal superstition, and wanted to put a hat on him and hold a criticism meeting, but fortunately, the old village chief was still reasonable, saying that this was the old Orion was old and mentally abnormal, let's talk to an old man, don't pay attention to his crazy words, go up the mountain!
The villagers pushed away the old hunter who was in front of them, and the group entered the mountain in a mighty way. In the first few years, even the bark of the trees was almost gnawed, and the wolves could not find anything to eat, so they would go down the mountain to attack the livestock, and the villagers had a deep grudge.
In the end, the angry villagers slaughtered all the wolves in the eight townships, and the village chief led everyone to carry the captured wolves back to the village, peel the skin and bones, and distribute the meat.
Among the wolves hunted back, there is a wolf that attracts special attention, the inland wolf pack is basically a subspecies of gray wolf, the size is not large, only a dozen kilograms in size, but this head wolf is snow-white, fluffy hair, and the body is exceptionally strong, like a calf, must be carried by two villagers.
