Chapter Ninety-Eight: Wolf Skewers, Wolf Training (Today's First Update)
Han Li walked to the very end of the street, where there were many stalls selling dogs.
As soon as I got into the eyes, it was similar to the situation last time in the north of the city, with adult dogs and puppies.
The three- or four-month-old puppy he had hoped for didn't see it, which made Han Li a little disappointed in his heart.
But how do you have to look at it all when you come here, in case you have a dog that you need in front of you.
Some things were just so careless, and Han Li saw the puppy he wanted in front of the outermost stall.
An old man leashed five puppies on a leash, but the dogs' coat colors were very mixed, and they didn't quite look like the local Northeast stupid dogs.
"Uncle, can you change this dog?"
This uncle glanced at Han Li, put down the cigarette pouch on his lips and said quickly.
"Change, it's all brought to the city, it must be changed."
"Uncle, doesn't seem to be the right color of your dog?"
Uncle knocked on the cigarette pouch and said: "This little comrade is a young man who cut the queue, I didn't expect you to understand this, uncle, I won't hide it from you, the female dog at home doesn't know when to bring the nest, and then give birth to these cubs, but I think they should be wolf strings." ”
"Wolf skewers? Uncle, tell me about it, I don't know much about this. ”
"Wolf skewers are the breed of female dogs and wild wolves in the family, their wildness is a little heavier, but once you domesticate, they are the best helpers, whether it is to take care of the home or to drive the mountains to fight are the top helpers, if I am not old enough to run, these little guys are reluctant to say anything to change out."
Han Li was a little hesitant when he heard that it was a wolf skewer, he had heard it when he was chatting with the people in the village, and it was similar to what this old man said.
The cubs born to male dogs and female wolves generally live with the wolves, and when they grow up, they will be authentic wild wolves.
If a male wolf gives birth to a female dog with a cub, they will live with humans from an early age.
It is only under various influences that people have the opportunity to tame them and make them the best hunting dogs.
The first generation of wolf strings had the wild nature of wolves, but also had the coordination and hierarchical consciousness of wolves.
As long as the wolf strings can be domesticated, they are not only loyal and brave, but also have the cunning and intelligence of wolves.
In the eyes of many old hunters, the best hunting dog is the first generation of wolf skewers that have been successfully tamed.
But as the saying goes, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat.
Now the dogs raised by the villagers are in a free-range state, and they will generally find things to eat outside by themselves, such as bugs, weeds, and poop. Wait, the family will only feed something when they don't find anything to eat, and they are hungry and screaming around the family.
But if you want to domesticate these wolf strings, as the owner, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money.
Not only should they eat and drink well, but they should also be patient and trained frequently.
Now the average family doesn't have this ability at all, so he didn't tell the truth completely about this uncle.
Being old, unable to run, and reluctant should be only secondary reasons, and not being able to feed is the main reason.
Seeing that Han Li was hesitating, the uncle immediately became a little anxious on his side.
His character does not allow himself to deceive others, and whenever someone comes to ask, he tells the truth and tells people that he is a wolf string
But as soon as the other party heard that it was a wolf skewer, no one wanted it even if it was cheaper.
He has brought these little guys out several times, and the family already has an opinion about it.
And when he was young, he often drove to the mountains and had an extraordinary affection for the hounds.
For those who drive the mountains, these hunting dogs are not only companions when entering the mountains, but also comrades-in-arms when they encounter danger.
Hounds can not only walk ahead for reconnaissance, but also become protective owners in case of danger.
And the wolf skewers are the best among them, which makes him have a strong attachment to the wolf skewers in his heart.
Who would have thought that he didn't meet him when he was young, and when he was old and couldn't run, he was sent home.
It's a pity that none of the children in the family are willing to go up the mountain to take risks, and if they can't be replaced today, they may be eaten by their families.
He was reluctant to turn these wolf skewers into a pile of meat in a basin, which was his dream after all.
"Look at this educated youth."
The uncle made a gesture, and these wolf strings immediately lined up obediently in a row, and after sitting down, they waited motionlessly for instructions.
This glance shows that they have been domesticated to a certain extent, and have become very disciplined.
"They have been preliminarily trained by me, and some simple instructions are fine, you just need to erect your majesty when you take them home, let them know that you are the boss, don't bother too much about training, of course, if you want to fight around, you need to have a snack."
The uncle grabbed one and handed it to Han Mian and said.
"If you look at the wide and wet noses of these wolves, it shows that they have a very good sense of smell and are very good at finding prey and danger."
Then he grabbed the back of the wolf strings with his hand and showed them one by one in front of Han Li.
"As soon as you pick them up again, their limbs immediately shrink, and their backs are arched like hooks, which means that these wolf strings are very explosive and good at running, and you look at their eyes again."
Han Li was a little puzzled and did what the uncle said, it didn't matter if he looked at it, let him know what it meant to have eyes like electricity.
These wolf skewers stared at Han Li with bright eyes, and they didn't dodge at all from beginning to end.
Uncle: "See, such a performance shows that the character of these wolf strings is resolute and brave, there are such dogs when hunting before they dare to come forward to kill the prey, those dogs who have to dodge when they look at people, absolutely not qualified to be a member of the siege, they bark at most at the door of the house twice, after entering the mountain will only drag down the owner, you look at their mouths and paws are the best, and they can definitely become a good helper to fight the fence." ”
Han Li seemed to see reluctance and nostalgia in this uncle's cloudy eyes, which might be the reason why he tried his best to sell these dogs.
But listening to what the uncle said, these wolf skewers are really superb.
Even if you don't take them into the mountains to fight, they are definitely the most loyal existence and the best choice for the caretaker.
And they can live for about ten years, and even if they return to Sijiu City, they can accompany them for a long time.
You must know that the situation in the past few years when I was able to return to the city was quite something, otherwise there would not have been a special introduction of any misdemeanor.
"Uncle, you've been talking for a long time, how are you going to change this wolf skewer?"
As soon as the uncle heard Han Li's inquiry, his eyes immediately lit up, and he put down his cigarette pouch and said immediately.
"If all five are taken away, I will count you as eight catties of fine grain, and if you only need one, you will have 3 catties of fine grain."
Han Li didn't know the market at all, but he still subconsciously made the price.
"What eight pounds of fine grain? Uncle, your opening is too ruthless, right? ”
The uncle looked at this educated youth and wanted it a little, and now he was a little bit of a bargain and said quickly.
"If these five wolf skewers meet experts, there will be people who want to double the price, and the most unfortunate thing is to go back and let the family eat them and eat meat."
Han Li: "Uncle, it's not right for you to say that, no matter how good this wolf string is, it's not easy to feed it out in this situation now, if you let them go out and find food by themselves like the dog at home, then even if it's a real wolf, it's useless." As for eating meat, you see that a few of them are small and thin, can they have a bowl of meat after peeling and deboning? ”
"You kid don't understand anything, do you? Then how much are you going to say and listen? ”
"I don't dare to say that I understand, but I heard the village gentlemen mention it when they chattered, what do I do with you with five catties of rice? The quality of the rice is quite good, but it is broken a little bit during processing, and if you feel that it is okay, we will make a deal. ”
The uncle's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he reluctantly glanced at a few wolf skewers and said.
"Then do as you say, but you have to bring your own rope for the dog."
Han Li also understood this, the old rules were to sell pears instead of baskets, cattle and horses without reins, and dogs without ropes.
Han Li exchanged the rope from other places, and the moment the uncle replaced his own dog leash was still a little reluctant.
If you keep them, even if they are not eaten, they will become ordinary earth dogs, and it hurts to think about it.
This intellectually dressed and cheerful shoot, they will not be too aggrieved by the other party.
Finding a suitable owner for these little guys can be regarded as fulfilling his wish in disguise.
The uncle gritted his teeth and finally changed the rope, but not before handing it over to Han Li.
He said a lot about the experience of domesticating wolf skewers, and Han Li was also listening carefully, after all, this knowledge was his blank spot.
Unconsciously, the two of them talked for a long time, and in the end, the uncle still had a posture that he didn't talk enough.
However, seeing that the time was not early, the two of them quickly completed the transaction under the cover of each other, and Han Li had five more young wolf strings in his hand.
These wolf strings were domesticated by the uncle well, and they walked with the rope neither fast nor slow, and always maintained the same speed as him.
Han Li went to the supply and marketing cooperative's side to replenish his usual consumables, and finally put some coarse grains on the top of the back basket.
Only then did he start walking back, but because of the wolf strings, he chose to walk all the way back.
The main thing is to see the situation of a few wolf strings, and as soon as he enters the village, he will be seen by the villagers.
"Good guy, Han Zhiqing, why did you get several dogs?"
Han Li had expected such a thing in his heart, and he even chose the person who would help him take the blame, so he said with a smile.
"This is what Hao Zhiqing and a few of them asked me to find, and each of them plans to feed one."
"I mean, but the dogs you chose are too boring."
"I thought that the skewers were easy to feed, and a few female intellectuals were just used to see the door, and they didn't plan to go into the mountains."
"This is also true, the skin of the skewers is really worry-free, even if you eat meat at the end, you don't feel distressed."
"Hehe, you're right."
Han Li said hello all the way back to his house, and the barking of other dogs was indispensable on the way.
It was as if they were demonstrating against the newcomers and swearing their own turf.
It's a pity that the blind man lit the lamp - in vain, and the wolf string didn't pay any attention to them.
Those who dared to step forward and bared their teeth were kicked back by Han Li one by one, and went home to tie up a few wolf skewers, and took out a wooden plank next to the firewood stack to build a nest for the dogs.
Then Han Li followed the uncle's guidance to start training these wolf strings, and the uncle said that he would start training when he took over.
Especially with these wolf skewers, you have to let them know who is the boss in the first place.
Giving them good rules is conducive to cultivating their sense of hierarchy and loyalty.
Don't keep them for a while before you start them, when they have no rules, and it will be difficult for anyone who wants to train them again.
Han Li looked at the five wolf strings in front of him, and he had to say that they were really powerful.
These five little guys were slipped away in the county seat for a day, and then they were led back by Han Li all the way.
At this time, even Han Li was thirsty and hungry, but they were still squatting there in an orderly manner, neither running around nor screaming.
Whether a dog can become a dog that drives the mountain, the sound is very important, and this one can eliminate most of the dogs.
Because the dog that likes to bark must not be used on the fence, otherwise after entering the mountain, just after finding the prey, the dog will bark excitedly, and the prey can not run when it hears it? The prey is gone, and a hammer is hit.
Because these wolf skewers have wolf remnants in their bodies, hunting is their natural instinct, so they don't bark at all.
This is just like the old folk saying, a dog that barks doesn't bite, and a dog that bites doesn't bark.
It is the cowardly and timid dogs who like to bark, trying to call out to their owners with their barks, or to intimidate their opponents and prey into retreating.
Han Li pondered for a moment and then returned to the house, he broke down the first remaining nest head into pieces, then took out half of the air-dried rabbits and also broke them into pieces, took out the lard and stir-fried them until fragrant, and finally put them out of the pot and put them in the wooden basin.
When Han Li came out with the wooden basin, he didn't feed them directly, but looked at them carefully.
Seeing that the five dogs were still sitting there obediently without the slightest movement, Han Li nodded lightly.
Then he walked in front of them and took a few mouthfuls of the food in his mouth before putting the tub down.
When the five dogs smelled the fragrance, they couldn't sit still, and all of them pounced on them to grab something to eat.
Smack, smack, smack.
They were slapped back by Han Li, these little guys were wolf skewers after all, and the ferocity in their bodies was still there.
One by one, they grinned at Han Li with a fierce light, and then pounced on this side again.
Smack, smack, smack.
These wolf skewers were once again slapped back by Han Li, and none of the wolf skewers could get close to the wooden basin.
Then, according to the uncle's instructions, Han Li would beat him if he dared to bare his teeth.
After beating all five little guys, Han Li moved the tub again.
As long as they dared to step forward to grab food, Han Li would raise his hand mercilessly and hit him, and those who dared to grin at him would do the same.
After repeating this a few times, even if Han Li put the wooden basin in front of them, the five wolf strings didn't dare to move.
In the end, no matter which wolf string Han Li's eyes looked at, it would obediently lie on the ground and make a chirping sound to show him submission.
