Fang Yidao: "This mountain is beyond the scope of my forest area, and I have not been here. It is impossible to find the cave, the heavy snow may cover the cave entrance, we cannot see it, and some trees will naturally die and rot when they are old, and they cannot regenerate, forming tree holes. ”

The three of them found a few tree holes according to the method, and there were only a few snakes, which did not match the appearance of the snakes they were looking for. The sun is gradually moving westward, and if you can't find it, you can only go back, because there are many insects and beasts in the mountains at night, although they also appear many in winter, and they have no mastiffs or hunting dogs.

Speaking of mastiffs, it has to be mentioned that the mastiff on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, after being domesticated, help the owner to take care of the family and protect the family's property, it is said that a Tibetan mastiff can defeat three wolves, you can imagine how powerful this mastiff is. And because the Tibetan mastiff is the overlord of dogs, its fierce and domineering characteristics make people frightened. In the folk and spread out the ghost mastiff, because of the fierce face, also known as the ghost mastiff, there is most of the blood of the Tibetan mastiff, after the change of the environment makes it extremely ferocious, difficult to domesticate, is the Tibetan mastiff and the lion on the grassland born, are all rumors, can not be exquisite.

The mastiff in the Northeast is different, the so-called dog must have a mastiff when it gives birth to nine sons, and it is not a dog that must have a mastiff if it gives birth to nine puppies, it must be pure blood, and it is born in the cellar to starve, let them kill each other, and the last one that survives is the mastiff. This method of practicing mastiff is somewhat similar to Miao Jiang's poisonous Gu, which makes it more ferocious and deadly.

There are only a few hunting dogs in the village, but this mastiff has never been there. The three of them can't spend the night here, I'm worried about the fat man, now he has a high fever and is in a state of unconsciousness, if the fat man has anything long and two short, how can I explain to his family, the old man and the old lady are old, and I know that this matter will not cause a recurrence of heart disease, but I have become a sinner. Besides, the fat man is also a brother who has been together for so many years, even if he sacrificed my life to save him.

Yingzi's voice behind me sounded: "An Yiheng, look over there." ”

I looked back at Yingzi, who pointed to a large tree. Walking in, this tree is as thick as a large water tank, it takes three people to hold it, and the height is not too high, about three or four meters. However, the tree is dead, and the bark will gently slide off with a gentle hand. Fang Yi had never seen such a tree, not to mention that this tree was also a hundred years old, I walked around the tree, and found a hole behind him, about ten centimeters.

I hurriedly beckoned to them, but I didn't have the tools in my hands, so I couldn't do it. Fang also pulled me away and took out a steel knife from his arms, this knife I recognize, this is a bayonet that is not allocated, this kind of bayonet is one of the weapons of the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War, it can be pressed on the front end of the gun body, and there is a groove on the left and right sides of the knife body, which is specially used for bloodletting. Most of them were left behind when he retired from the Vietnam War, and it is not known how he brought them back.

Fang Yi drew a fork on the tree, picked up a big stone and smashed it hard, under the effect of the impact, Ying smashed the trunk of the tree stiffly, and smashed it a few times to see that the hole was constantly expanding, and the heart of the tree inside had already rotted, and there were really a few snakes lying in this tree hole, maybe the sound woke them up, and they slowly squirmed. I lay there and looked carefully, and I didn't find the pheasant neck for a long time, and shook my head at them dejectedly, Yingzi looked at them again in disbelief, looked at each snake carefully, looking for that section of the red mang, and was just about to give up, and found the pheasant neck in the extremely inconspicuous corner of the tree hole.

"An Yiheng, Brother Fang, look, here, there is a pheasant neck." Yingzi shouted happily.

The two of us hurriedly stepped forward to see that the pheasant's neck was crawling slowly. Now is the hibernation period of the snake, so the movement is slow, the danger is not great, I picked him out with a branch, Fang Yi pinched the snake's head with one hand, stepped on the snake's tail with his foot, and drew a small opening in the middle of the snake's body to squeeze out the snake's gall.

I held the snake gall and said to Yingzi: "Yingzi, put it in a bag, go back and give it to your fat brother to eat, it's a fat man who is jumping around again." ”

"Steam it before eating snake gall bladder, my fellow countryman told me when I was in Vietnam." Fang Yidao.

The way back was relatively easy, and the place where we had been trampled had been added to most of the snow in the sky, so we went back the way we came. The sky was hazy, and it seemed that there was going to be a strong wind tonight, so he asked Yingzi behind him: "Uncle Liu, when will they come back, it has been six or seven days to go to the mountains." ”

"Almost, maybe there are a lot of prey this time, it's snowing, it may delay the journey, wait for them to come back, please follow the fat venison, every year my grandfather will get one, Brother Fang must also come." Yingzi Road.

"I'm not going, this forest can't do without people."

"That's okay, I'll send it to Brother Fang." I gave Yingzi a look. Brother Fang rarely communicates with the village, and even the village party secretary is reluctant to talk to him. That time, Uncle Dong went up the mountain to send some things to comfort Fang Yi, but that day he drank wine and scolded Uncle Dong.

Fang Yi is usually a cold person, but he is really warm-hearted. But this drink, I remembered the scene of the Vietnam War, once again in the encirclement and suppression war, the Vietnamese soldiers used the old and weak women and children as shields, and worked hard to save a few people, who would have thought that there were still household appliances hidden in the clothes, and the situation was critical, a comrade-in-arms threw himself to the ground and pressed on his body to escape, but the back of the comrade-in-arms was blown black, seeing that there was more air and less air intake, his left leg was also injured, and the comrades around him died here because of these people, and the bloody blood stained his eyes red, making him become manic, At that time, without saying a word, he picked up a gun and struck all the remaining Vietnamese.

Fang Yi has been a lonely person all his life, and he is used to it.

Back in the village, the quiet village was boiling at this time, and Yingzi and I didn't know what the situation was. When I got closer, it turned out that the hunting team had returned, Village Chief Liu was surrounded in the middle, Yingzi ran over, and I glanced at Village Chief Liu and nodded to each other. Someone took the oversized rake plough behind Erhei off the goods, looked at the prey underground, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad, because the prey was mixed with the figure of the hound, Yingzi held a dog, tears flowed out, this dog was raised by Yingzi, it can be known that behind the feelings, this hunt, all the hounds were sacrificed, and none survived.

Even the village chief Liu can't say a reason, it happened on the third night of their entry into the mountain, taking the old route of frequent hunting, there is a rest point at a distance, and all the dogs were put outside that night, because the dog can predict the danger, as long as there is something that threatens it, it will bark, but that night is very quiet.
