Wang Mingyuan listened carefully, and vaguely heard a low roar, as Song Qingwen said, the whistle sounded, one after another, just ahead.

"It's a tiger, and a lot of jackals."

Song Qinglai listened to it and said with certainty.

Jackal?

For Wang Mingyuan, this is a species that is more mysterious than a fox.

When I was a child, I was often scared by adults with words like "jackals come to bite you".

In the Yunnan dialect, it is common to hear adults pointing at children who have done bad things and scolding: "What about jackals and dogs......

Even in China, when it comes to fierce beasts, there is always a sentence "jackals, tigers and leopards", which puts jackals in the first place, which shows its ferocity.

However, in Wang Mingyuan's impression, even though he has watched a lot of explanations and videos such as the animal world, there are very few about jackals.

"What now?" Another militiaman asked in a whisper.

Han Xiaoling shrank behind Wang Mingyuan with a pale face, unconsciously tugging at Wang Mingyuan's clothes.

"Put the things down first, you wait here, Song Qingwen and I will go to find out the situation first. You protect Xiaoling."

Seeing that a few people looked at him, Wang Mingyuan thought about it, if there were really jackals and tigers, the best choice now was probably to go back or take a detour.

However, he was more curious about the jackal, which is rarely found in major zoos.

Driven by this curiosity, Wang Mingyuan planned to explore the way first.

Several people slowly put down the things they were carrying, and Song Qinglai and another militiaman loaded their steps, protecting Han Xiaoling in the middle one by one, back to back.

Wang Mingyuan and Song Qingwen also each raised their weapons and carefully touched the place where the sound came from.

A few minutes later, the two of them saw an amazing scene from a distance through the cracks in the trees.

On a sparsely wooded slope in front of him, a colorful tiger was tearing a red muntjac, and around him were more than a dozen animals that looked like dogs but not dogs, wolves and not wolves.

In other words, it is an animal in between, but its face is a bit like a fox, giving people a very cunning feeling.

Is this a jackal?

Wang Mingyuan counted them carefully and found that there were as many as sixteen in total. Surrounded by the tiger, he kept trying to get closer, but was always startled back by the tiger's low roar.

As the number of temptations grew, the tiger became very irritable, occasionally suddenly pounced on an approaching jackal, but the amazing bounce of more than two meters at every turn, and the extremely nimble reaction always made the tiger pounce.

And in this gap, several jackals immediately stepped forward and tried to drag the red muntjac that had already died under the tiger's claws.

Seeing the tiger turning back and pounced, they all retreated to the side and continued to tease.

This is similar to the situation of a hyena snatching food from a lion's mouth.

This is to snatch food!

I don't know if this thing will be like a hyena. Otherwise, with this far more flexible reaction and ultra-high level of bounce than the tiger, coupled with the group attack, although the tiger will not be hunted, I am afraid it will be difficult to take the advantage.

Encountering so many fierce beasts at once, the two didn't dare to stay longer, and quietly retreated.

"Take a detour, be vigilant!" Wang Mingyuan can only make such a choice.

Whether it is a tiger or a jackal, it is not a simple character, once provoked, the consequences are unimaginable.

"I'll clean you up when I'm free!" Wang Mingyuan thought secretly.

At a time like this, it's better to avoid it.

A few people nodded, and went to the mountains and forests higher up, carefully passing through, and in the distance, the roar of the increasingly angry tiger could still be heard below.

Fortunately, there were no other thrills along the way, and after more than an hour, several people successfully arrived at the sinkhole.

Wang Mingyuan stood on the edge of the cliff and roared at the sinkhole, and after a while, Liu Li took five Mingcheng dogs, and on his arms there was a circle of golden eagles with blindfolds, and hurriedly

Hurry.

The thick wooden door at the entrance was opened, and the group descended the carved stairs into the sinkhole and went directly to the hot springs.

Where, Wang Mingyuan's wooden house on stilts has been built, with thick logs on the outside, mortise and tenon joints, and wooden planks on the inside, the walls and bottom are paved smoothly, which looks very comfortable.

This stilted wooden house is not small, covering an area of hundreds of square meters, according to Wang Mingyuan's requirements, divided into living room, bedroom and kitchen. There are railings and stairs in front that exude the fragrance of trees.

Five of the same wooden houses were built on both sides of the stream in the forest, and the rest were still being built, and the trees in the middle were cut down to form a small square.

The overall look is patchwork and full of original feeling.

Wang Mingyuan looked around and felt very satisfied.

"I thought you'd have to come back a little later!" Liu Li smiled, his eyes glancing at Han Xiaoling, who was looking at the five Mingcheng dogs vigilantly: "This is ...... Sister-in-law?"

He gestured at a few Mingcheng dogs, and several dogs immediately squatted down obediently on the side, and Han Xiaoling's expression eased slightly.

Wang Mingyuan nodded, and introduced by the way: "This is after you left, my sworn brother, born as a scout, good at dog taming, and a Dai boxing master, called Liu Li. The elephant's foot drum you carried was bought to learn from him."

"Hello sister-in-law!" Liu Li opened his mouth and came.

Upon hearing this, Han Xiaoling suddenly blushed: "Hello...... I'm not married yet, so I don't dare to scream."

"Isn't that a matter of time?" Liu Li disagreed.

"How are you and Kang Langxiang?" Wang Mingyuan asked with a smile.

"That's it, I've been busy with falconry, dog training and border patrol these days, and I'm also very busy, no, I just changed Li to go up with them, and I only came back last night, and I haven't had time to say a few words, where is she drying and concocting some collected medicinal herbs in the big cave now."

Liu Li said, pulling Wang Mingyuan aside: "This sister-in-law looks good, it turns out that you like this kind of small type."

Wang Mingyuan rolled his eyes at him: "Aren't you talking nonsense...... Where is the third uncle?"

"Over there!" Liu Li pointed to the left.

"I'll go take a look!"

He put aside Liu Li, called Han Xiaoling, and walked towards the place where Zhang Shouzhong was.

Along the way, you can see a large trench centered on the bottom of the sinkhole, radiating towards the periphery, which has been planted with wooden segments, grafted with fungus, and covered with rotten leaf soil.

When Wang Mingyuan found Zhang Shouzhong, he was running back and forth, directing a group of people to discharge wood segments, grafted mushrooms, and cover soil into the trench.

Everything was executed meticulously.

Seeing Wang Mingyuan and Han Xiaoling coming together, he greeted him excitedly.

"You kid, I didn't expect to be called back by you!" Zhang Shouzhong said with a smile, and said seriously to Han Xiaoling, "Welcome back!"

"Third uncle!" Han Xiaoling shouted in a low voice.

"In the future, let's treat this place as home, don't you know, since you left, Xiao Wang's whole person seems to have lost his soul, and even if I want to introduce him to a daughter-in-law, he resolutely refuses, he has to find you back, he is very attentive to you!"

Zhang Shouzhong said with great interest.

Wang Mingyuan twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard it: Is it too exaggerated?

"How's things going?" Wang Mingyuan asked casually.

"The trough has been dug out, and all that remains is the wood, the seeds, and the mulch, and at this rate, we can finish the work early tomorrow."

Wang Mingyuan nodded, more than 100 people, busy for almost twenty days, finally finished.

Next, when the seedlings are planted, it's time to develop this treasure trove of forests.
