Soon, another shot rang out.

Then came the shouting: "Hit, hit!" ”

After hearing this, Wang Manyin and the two walked in quickly with the earth dog. After turning around a cliff ravine, I saw Zhang Yonghua waving on the opposite mountain beam.

Not far away, beside the dead grass, a wild wolf lay on a pile of rubble, and a large pool of blood flowed from under it.

Although he felt that this guy couldn't die anymore, for the sake of safety, Wang Yanqiang still stepped forward and smashed it twice with the barrel of the gun to confirm.

It can only be said that the two wild wolves are too bold and simply don't take humans seriously.

This cliff ditch is less than five miles away from Haojiagou Village, only separated by a few mountain beams, and they dare to press the wolf's den nearby.

Pure death!

After a while, the crowd was reunited.

Looking at the two dead prey under his feet, Lin Jun was a little depressed. They were blocking the wolf's way out at the other end, but they didn't wait for a chance to shoot.

At this time, it was not early, and the cliff and ditch began to darken, and everyone had no intention of continuing the search. They discussed with each other and planned to stay in Haojiagou for one night, and then search for the traces of the golden leopard tomorrow.

The hunting of two wild wolves this time gave them a lot of confidence. There is rhubarb, as long as this guy leaves a trace, sooner or later he will be caught up.

In addition, the two wild wolves should be disposed of quickly.

The wolf's fur is relatively thick, and a confined space will form in the body, and it is difficult to enter it in the cold temperature outside. If the time delay is too long, the internal organs are prone to decay and smell.

A few people carried the carcasses of two wild wolves back to Haojiagou, which caused a great sensation again. The villagers, who had dispersed, regathered in the courtyard of the breeding room to watch the excitement.

When they returned to the village, Lin Jun and the others had already discussed that they planned to skin and stew the two wolves, and then share them with the villagers.

Hearing that they could eat wolf meat, the members of Haojiagou were very happy and came over to help.

In this way, it is necessary to let a few team members relax.

Today, the crowd has traveled at least forty or fifty miles. If you take a flat road, it's okay to say, the key is to climb the beam and go down the ditch, and the physical exertion is too great.

Now they are powerless, so they simply let the Haojiagou people skin the wild wolves.

Not to mention them, even a few earth dogs are tired enough, and now they are lying on the ground too lazy to move.

Of course, Wang Manyin and Rhubarb are exceptions, and they are still in good spirits.

Seeing that the breeder was about to go to the village to carry water, he took the initiative to speak: "Uncle Hao, you rest for a while, I'll go." ”

The other party also suffers from a large bone disease, and when he carries a bucket, he still holds a cane in one hand, and it is very difficult to walk.

"Housheng, do you know where the well is?" The old man asked suspiciously.

"In the ravine at the head of your village, we saw it when we came."

At Wang Manyin's insistence, the other party had no choice but to hand over the bucket and the well rope.

Wang Manyin took the rhubarb out of the village and ran straight to the well not far away.

At this moment, the cliff ditch was completely dark, and there was no one nearby.

But with rhubarb following, he didn't have anything to fear. If there's anything unusual nearby, this guy will be the first to alert you.

After coming to the well, Wang Manyin looked around, then walked to the side with a bucket and disappeared quietly.

When they reappeared, the two buckets were already filled with spatial water.

Wang Manyin went back and forth seven or eight times, and after pouring more than a dozen buckets of space water into the well, he began to draw water.

He had already learned the magic of space water many times.

As for whether it has an effect on major bone disease, Wang Manyin does not dare to guarantee it, but at least it can play a role in strengthening the body.

Other than that, there wasn't much he could do.

Wang Manyin is not a medical expert and only knows a little about the disease. I don't know exactly how to treat it. I remember that in the 90s, the country began to supply selenium salt to areas with a high incidence of major bone disease, benefiting more than 7 million people. It took 20 years to finally bring the disease under control.

When Wang Manyin came back with water, several piles of firewood had already been lit in the breeding yard. The flames burned brightly, illuminating the surroundings. Haojiagou lacks water and food, but there is no shortage of firewood.

Almost every house has a large firewood stack in front of it, and it is all good firewood.

Seven or eight unkempt broken babies stood timidly not far away, staring at the wolf meat on the board with a pair of eyes.

Wang Manyin is too familiar with this kind of look. That's an extreme craving for meat!

The cut wolf meat was quickly put into the cauldron, and Lin Jun poured a lot of salt into it. Fortunately, I brought salt before departure, otherwise these pots of stewed wolf meat would probably make people feel distressed.

When the water boils, the aroma of the meat begins to spread along the night breeze.

At this time, many adults also began to be greedy.

Haojiagou Village is not big, but there are only about 100 people. After the two wild wolves peeled the skin and removed the internal organs, they could produce almost a hundred catties of meat, plus potatoes, and stewed three full pots, each family could divide two large bowls.

After distributing it to the members of Haojiagou, Wang Manyin and others also ate it in the pot.

One person and two large bowls, along with a few earth dogs, also enjoyed the blessings.

Tonight, the entire Haojiagou Village is the same as the New Year, and almost every family is full of laughter.

At night, a few people slept in the breeding room, all of them were rough old men, and they didn't pay so much attention to it. Lie down on the kang with your clothes on, and cover your body with a broken quilt.

The clay kang burned very strongly, and the whole cave was warm, but it didn't feel cold.

After a while, the snoring came and went.

There were a few earth dogs guarding outside, and everyone slept peacefully.

In the morning, Wang Manyin slept soundly, when he heard exclamations from the courtyard, followed by the barking of earth dogs.

Hearing the movement, several people hurriedly got up and went out, only to see the breeder Hao Laohan being blocked not far away.

Seeing them, the other party hurriedly shouted: "Stop the earth dogs, I will go up to take a look at the mouse, I was almost bitten!" ”

Mouse? Lin Jun and the others were confused.

Wang Manyin reacted immediately, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw seven or eight mice scattered on the ground.

Obviously, this is Rhubarb's masterpiece last night.

It is said that since the family has two cats, the earth dog has rarely had the opportunity to play his strengths, and last night was a revisit.

Thinking to himself, he hurriedly shouted out to stop the rhubarb.

When the remaining dogs saw the leader returning, they also stopped and followed.

"Wang Manyin, your earth dog is really excessive, even a mouse can be caught!" Seeing the dead rats on the ground, Lin Jun was amazed again.

Zhang Yonghua also said enviously: "Wang Yanqiang, when will your female dog give birth to another cub, leave me one." ”

After breakfast, everyone left Haojiagou Village again.

They planned to turn around and go back and look along the ravine where the leopard had been found the day before yesterday. Now the snow in the cliffs and ravines has not yet melted, and theoretically the leopard will definitely leave footprints as long as it passes by.

After turning over the two mountain beams, everyone really made a new discovery.

The footprints in the snow were noticeably different from those encountered yesterday, the size was much larger, and the flesh pad marks were stretched outward, and there were no traces of sharp claws on the front end.

This should be in line with the characteristics of felines, Wang Manyin once observed his two cats walking with their claws into the meat pad.

Next, everyone followed Rhubarb all the way forward.

The footprints were still obvious, and although they were intermittent and sometimes required to be spaced several miles, at least they were not pursuing in the wrong direction.

This also makes everyone wary of anomalies, and they are always aware of the wind and grass around them when they are traveling.

As yesterday, there were many pheasants and rabbits on the road.

At noon they had traveled more than twenty miles, and had entered the real mountains.

There are more stones in these loess cliffs, and there are almost no traces of human activity except for the sheep intestine trail on the mountain beam. According to the direction calculation, it is not far from Wushan County.

Further southeast, it belongs to the boundary of the original East County. Continue to run for more than 100 miles, and there is a large area of forest there. When Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang went to buy rice seeds, they passed by.

Judging from the traces, it seems that the leopard has no fixed territory nearby, and has been wandering around.

This situation is normal, just like Wang Manyin guessed before, there are few large prey in the nearby Loess Plateau, and there is no way to provide a long-term stable food source for the leopard.

The reason why it appeared and entered the Houzitou Commune is more likely to be lost.

The lunch meal is still barbecue with corn nests. It is said that they have poured a lot of taste in the past two days in the mountains, and they have hardly stopped eating meat.

After eating and resting for a while, everyone continued to follow the trail.

Soon, a new discovery was made in a cliff ravine.

There was a dark brown pool of blood on the ground, and scattered bones and fur.

"It's a fox skin, it's been eaten up by a leopard. Judging by the bloodstains, it was almost a day. Lin Jun squatted down and looked at it a few times, and speculated out loud.

The fox is the fox, and in the early years it was also a common beast on the Loess Plateau. However, after being hunted by people, it is now rare.

"We should not be far from the leopard, and we will try our best to find this guy before dark." Wang Yanqiang spoke confidently.

Wang Manyin was a little speechless, this was not a matter of increasing effort at all.

If the leopard hadn't stopped, there would still be a day's journey between the two. If you follow in this way, you can't catch up with you if you're tired.

But he has no other way, the only thing he can count on is rhubarb.

In the end, new clues were discovered, and everyone became full of energy again.

But until it was dark, the crowd still found nothing. There was no village nearby, so they could only find a cliff ditch, build two fires to keep warm, and roast rabbit meat and nests by the way.

As for drinking water, there is no shortage of it, just make some snow and put it in a gourd to melt it and drink it.

Without the ondol, everyone didn't sleep well at night.

When the sun rose again and they found a village, they realized that they had entered the territory of Yuandong County.

At this moment, several people became depressed.

After a brief discussion, they decided to chase forward for a distance, but if they couldn't find it, they had to go home. As long as the leopard leaves Houzitou Commune, the task of the hunting team is completed.

Not surprisingly, the footprints left by the leopard were soon found in the snow. It's a bit like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, you can see it clearly, but you can't reach it at all.

After chasing out a distance, everyone had no choice but to give up.

On the way back, there is no need to twist and turn, and the speed is much faster. I didn't think that Rhubarb would find the traces of wild wolves again, so that they could harvest another prey.

Although he didn't hit the leopard in the mountains this time, it was okay to harvest three wild wolves. At least a few villages in the mountains will be safe for a while.

In addition, wolf skins and rabbit skins are worth a lot of money. Especially now that the New Year is not yet out, the climate is cold, and the wild wolves have not yet begun to shed their hair...... The price of wolf skin is very good.

This time they went out for almost four days, and when Wang Manyin and Wang Yanqiang returned by bicycle, one of them had more than ten yuan in his pocket. Together, there are also seven or eight catties of wolf meat.

***

When Wang Manyin and the two appeared on the construction site, they were immediately surrounded and questioned. To his surprise, he also saw Liu Xiangyang and other educated youths.

After spending more than half a month in the city, they came back honestly.

Wang Manyin and the two had already discussed on the way, and the wolf meat was left for the construction site laborers to eat.

Wang Lianshun is very satisfied with this.

When working with Liu Xiangyang in the afternoon, Wang Manyin learned from the other party that he had returned to the city, which could be described as a snowstorm.

What's even funnier is that Liu Xiangyang not only brought back to his family a special product from the Loess Plateau, but also brought back another specialty...... Flea.

He also has a younger brother at home, who is just thirteen years old, with fine skin and tender meat.

Two days after Liu Xiangyang arrived home, his younger brother was itchy for some reason, with pimples and red spots on his skin, and finally scratched all the blood.

At that time, the family thought that the younger brother was sick and rushed to the hospital for examination.

As a result, the doctor didn't see the reason, only said that it might be tinea corporis or skin allergies, and prescribed some ointment.

But my brother has applied it a few times, and it has no effect at all.

Later, when my mother was washing clothes, she found several fleas the size of dark brown sesame seeds in the cracks of her clothes, and found out the real cause.

For this reason, the house had to be cleaned and all the clothes were washed again.

Hearing this, Wang Manyin also laughed.

The fleas on the Loess Plateau are not ordinary, they are divided into species. Cats and dogs are generally the size of a needle tip, and the bite is not ruthless. But the kind on goats is particularly powerful, and can cause a series of big bumps after sucking blood on people.

Liu Xiangyang has been in the jar village for a long time, and he doesn't feel that his skin is used to the bite, but his family will definitely not be able to stand it.

After glancing around, Wang Manyin asked in a low voice: "What about Shang Zhimin, why didn't you see him?" ”

This guy's letter made Zhao Jianhai anxious, and now the commune has not come up with a deal opinion. If I can't see Shang Zhimin now, I won't go to the study class again.

"After the New Year, the streets were urging a lot, and we originally planned to invite Shang Zhimin to go together. He was afraid of offending Zhao Jianhai, so he didn't dare to come back at all, so he turned to take the car to the Great Northern Wilderness. Shang Zhimin planned to see if it would accept him, and if not, he would come back after the wheat harvest. Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Xiangyang lowered his voice in response.

Wang Manyin was a little speechless when he heard it, the other party's operation was really slippery.

However, Shang Zhimin thought too simply, and after this incident, he had already made a deep impression on the Shibijie Commune. Even if the wheat is recovered, people will not forget it.

Others may be fine, but Shang Zhimin will definitely be treated with focus.

Of course, Wang Manyin didn't plan to say these words to Liu Xiangyang, so let the other party understand them slowly.
