Chapter 113: The Crisis Leads but Doesn't Happen
Until Gao Mingcheng was full of food and drink, the wolves hiding in the shadows still did not appear.
Wolves are very intelligent animals, they will observe before attacking, if there is a chance of winning, they will develop tactics to take down the prey, if there is no chance of winning, then the wolves will give up attacking in order to reduce losses.
Gao Mingcheng's five senses are keen, so he is aware of the wolves hiding in the shadows, but he doesn't know how many wolves there are.
He has just hit a wild boar, and it is harvest time, and if the wolves attack him, he will either protect the prey, fight with the wolves, or abandon the prey and run away.
Gao Mingcheng didn't want to choose these two options, and he happened to be hungry, so it was better to eat and drink on the spot and replenish his physical strength.
The black tiger also sensed the existence of the wolves, it was restless and restless, staring vigilantly into the distance, because it felt that there was danger, so it ate the meat very quickly, Gao Mingcheng's barbecue was not yet cooked, the black tiger had already eaten a large piece of meat.
It is clearly preparing for the upcoming battle.
But the crisis has not been triggered.
Gao Mingcheng didn't want to take the initiative to confront the wolves, but he couldn't continue to consume it anymore, so he picked up the bird gun next to him and carried the wild boar on the ground.
More than 100 pounds of things are pressed on the body, easily and easily, and do not look heavy.
"Black Tiger, be on alert!" Gao Mingcheng ordered, and immediately received a low cry like a black tiger in response.
So a man and a dog left this oak forest quickly under the watchful eyes of the wolves and walked towards Gaojia Village at the foot of the mountain.
The whole process of descending the mountain, the feeling of being peeped on is still obvious.
Gao Mingcheng looked back, and could vaguely see the wolves behind the grass and shrubs, their wolves here, the brown fur was not good-looking, it looked a little rustic, and it was not big, and the older generation of people called jackals.
In my previous life, I had heard that there were wolves in the mountains on their side, but wolves rarely came down the mountains, and there were no rumors of hurting people.
Oh, and earlier, about fifty years ago, there were wolves coming down the mountain, not only wolves coming down the mountain, but even the South China tiger had come down to disturb the people.
At that time, the people of the production team organized people to go into the mountains to fight tigers, and if they killed the tiger at that time, they were called tiger heroes, and later generations killed the tiger, it was a prison seat!
But also because of the tiger fighting incident, the South China tiger, which was originally spread in most parts of the country, gradually became extinct in the wild in 94 years because of people's long-term hunting.
It's '86, and they should still have it in the mountains, but there are certainly not many of them.
Gao Mingcheng only used three points of attention at his feet, and the other seven points of attention were on the jackals.
In fact, jackals are not wolves, but their hunting methods are similar to those of wolves, all of which adopt the method of relay reluctance and collective siege to win with more.
Their claws are sharp, very bold, appear ferocious, brutal and gluttonous, generally first surround the prey, attack at the front and back, left and right, scratch the blind eyes, bite off the ears, nose, lips, tear the skin, and then eat the internal organs and meat, or directly attack the anus of the prey, even grab and bite, take out the internal organs, it will not take long to divide the prey cleanly.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng didn't want to confront them head-on, and when necessary, he could only abandon his prey and run away alone.
But the jackals did not attack for a long time, and it was not until the low hill near the village that the jackals stopped tracking, and they stood there and waited for a while, and then returned to the mountains under the leadership of the leader.
Gao Mingcheng looked at their departing backs, a little puzzled.
He speculated that it may be that people have been vigorously killing wolves, tigers, bears and other fierce beasts in recent years, giving them the impression that humans are not easy to provoke.
You know, when people deal with jackals, they will use a very lethal method, that is, hide the explosives in the pork, and then drop the pork in the place where the jackals will pass, and when the jackals find the pork and eat it in large pieces, the explosives hidden in the pork will explode and kill the jackals.
Because of these methods, the number of jackals in the mountains has decreased sharply, and they have become protected animals in the back.
Whatever the reason, the jackals retreated, which was good news for Gao Mingcheng, the wild boar on his body was saved!
Descending the mountain road, Gao Mingcheng did not return to Grandma Xi's house, but went directly to his new home.
The new home, although empty, has a hidden yard.
He planned to dispose of the wild boar here, and then return to Grandma Fine with the processed meat.
The old village is densely populated, this person has many eyes, carrying a wild boar over, there is always something bad, Gao Mingcheng is too lazy to talk politely to people, if someone asks him to ask for internal organs, bones or something, he is not easy to refuse.
There is no well on the side of the new home, so we can only use water from the reservoir outside.
Gao Mingcheng plans to ask a driller to drill a well after the spring, so that it will be convenient to use water in the future.
At this moment, he found two buckets from the room and said to the black tiger, "You keep the house!" ”
"Wow!" The black tiger responded, sitting cross-legged on the ground on its hind legs, guarding the boar's side like a guard.
Gao Mingcheng walked quickly towards the reservoir, winter is the dry season, there were originally seventeen acres of reservoir on the water surface, and now there are only three or four acres left.
When there is more rain in the spring, the water in the reservoir will slowly rise, and if there is an extreme drought, the entire reservoir will dry up.
Because the water in this reservoir is collected from the local mountains, and there is no external river to feed the water source, it is greatly affected by the natural weather.
Gao Mingcheng carried two buckets of water and returned to his new home.
In the yard, the black tiger dutifully guarded the side of the wild boar and did not steal a bite.
Gao Mingcheng took out the dagger and prepared to deal with the wild boar, the first step was to peel the skin, and after peeling off the skin, the pork could be put on a large wooden board to deal with.
This is Gao Mingcheng specially asked the carpenter to fight, originally the people in their village killed pigs, and they all used the door panels to remove them, and Gao Mingcheng also used the old door panels before.
However, Gao Mingcheng is now very confident in his own ability, and he thinks that he will often hunt wild boars in the future, so it is troublesome to remove the door panel often, so he simply asked the carpenter to make a large wooden board directly, which can be used to deal with wild boars, and can also be used to dry vegetables and medicinal herbs.
It's something that can be used after all.
Although there was only one person to deal with it, Gao Mingcheng was in a relaxed state throughout the whole process, and he divided the wild boar meat with a knife in his hand.
But Gao Mingcheng only had one thought at this time, that is, it was time to buy a sharp axe!
Although the dagger is sharp, it is good to cut meat, but it is not good to handle bones.
Well, the matter of buying an axe, arranged!
