Chapter 864 Yesterday I Earned 400 Yuan by Hunting Pigs, but Today I Lost 1,000 Yuan by Slaughtering Cattle
"Woo...Woo..."
The commuter train of Yong'an Forest Farm blew its whistle, and it was this whistle that suppressed the barking of dogs and roaring of cows more than 500 meters away.
Zhao Youcai looked at the train going up the mountain from a distance, and a sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Isn't life the same? Only by constantly struggling can we conquer the mountains and forests.
Zhao Youcai was full of confidence at this time.
But Zhang Life's mood at this moment was completely different from Zhao Youcai. The old yellow cow was the most valuable property of his family, and it was the result of their family's struggle for more than ten years.
Zhang Life struggled to pull up his pants, and while running out from behind the straw pile, he tied the hemp rope that tied his pants.
After running a few steps, Zhang Life, who was around the straw pile, was stunned!
Not far away, a group of dogs surrounded their old yellow cow, jumping forward and backward, tearing and biting.
At this time, it was not just the five dogs, all the dogs joined the battle.
The old ox was tied to a tree with a rope and a sled behind it, so it couldn't even dodge.
The old ox was much taller than the wild boar, so the dogs had to jump up to bite it, but none of these hunting dogs were easy to deal with, and they surrounded the old ox and launched waves of attacks.
The black tiger hated people the most, so the dog jumped onto the sled, stepped on the sled and bit the old ox's butt, and the old ox's eyes were red from the pain!
But in the Zhao family's dog gang today, the most prominent one was Xiaohua.
Xiaohua opened her mouth and bit the old ox's right hind leg, and took four or five bites in a row. When the old ox's hind legs softened, Bailong jumped onto the ox's back and bit the old ox's neck.
As the old ox shook its body, Bailong's body slid off the ox's back.
But Bailong didn't let go, and still bit the old ox's neck tightly, hanging on the side of the ox!
At this moment, the old yellow cow was bitten by Xiaohua.
The old yellow cow lay down with its hind legs first and its front legs later. When it lay on the ground, it was directly submerged by the gang of dogs.
When hunting wild boars normally, Erhei, Bailong, Qinglong, Huamao and Hualang are all dogs with pliers.
Today, when biting the cow, Huamao and Hualang grabbed the two ears of the old yellow cow. They bit the cow's ears, stretched their four dog legs and pulled them back, and the old yellow cow's head was clamped and could not move left or right!
Then the old yellow cow felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and Da Pang rushed down head-on, opened his big mouth and bit the cow's nose, and used his big body to press the cow's head on the snow.
Then, the other dogs were almost the same as surrounding the wild boar, each looking for a place to bite.
Each dog has its own habit of biting prey. Like Heilong and Xiaohua, they bite continuously; while Bailong, Erhei and Qinglong, they bite and don't let go, constantly shaking their heads and bodies to tear the prey.
But no matter how it bit, the old yellow cow felt pain. It opened its mouth with great effort and wailed.
"Hang...Hang..."
When the older generation of hunters told stories to the younger generation, they described the sound of the black bear, fearing that the younger generation would not understand, so they usually said that the sound of the black bear was like the sound of the cows in the same village smelling the blood of the old cows being slaughtered in the village.
The sound was high and trembling.
Why did the cows in the same village make such a sound, and what about the slaughtered cows?
These days, when butchers kill old cows, they usually take advantage of the cows' inattention and suddenly hit them on the head with a hammer. In this way, the old cows died happily, and only the other cows were hurt by their own kind.
At this time, Zhang Lifu rushed over with corn stalks (gāi). The corn stalks were dried in the autumn and were not very hard.
When the corn stalk hit Sanpang, it broke (zhé) at once, breaking like a nunchaku.
Zhang Lifu also reacted quickly. He put two pieces of corn stalks together, swung them up and hit Sanpang's buttocks twice.
Zhang Lifu was anxious. He forgot that when he was chatting with Zhao Youcai before, Zhao Youcai once said that dogs should not be beaten when they are fighting. The more people beat, the more fiercely the dogs bite.
Moreover, dogs are similar to wolves. They all have copper heads and bamboo legs, iron buttocks and tofu waists.
This iron buttocks does not refer to the buttocks, but to the coccyx.
Zhang Lifu swung the corn stalks twice, but it did not have much effect on Sanpang. Not only did it not break Sanpang, but it made Sanpang more fierce.
Zhang Lifu swung the corn stalks continuously, and Xiaohua and Heilong nearby were beaten repeatedly.
But it would have been better if he didn't hit. Zhang Lifu's beating made the two dogs bite the old cow and refused to let go.
Zhang Lifefu was angry and anxious, his eyes were red!
Suddenly, Zhang Lifefu's eyes fell on the black tiger.
At this moment, Zhang Lifefu went berserk!
The black tiger was seen kicking the sled with its hind legs, its whole body hanging in the air, limping and resting its two front paws on the big hips of the cow, biting the soft meat on the cow's buttocks again and again, and then stretching its head to achieve the effect of tearing.
It was because of the tearing that the cow's tail was broken, which made Zhang Lifefu feel distressed. He cried out "wow" and swung the corn stalks to attack the black tiger.
But at this moment, the old cow's buttocks were opened by the black tiger.
When the black tiger was pulling back, a piece of skin and flesh on the old cow's buttocks came down with the large intestine.
This sudden move made the black tiger stumble, and it fell from the sled on its back.
Zhang Lifefu hit the black tiger's waist, but heard the old cow's heartbreaking scream.
At this time, the hunting dogs smelled a special smell. Da Huang and San Pang, who were nearby, ran over and cut the cow's intestines in the middle. Hei Long and Xiao Hua tore at the broken cow's buttocks, and soon the other dogs squeezed behind the cow.
At this time, the train had sunk into the mountains. Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin and others, who were only 200 to 300 meters away, heard the sound immediately.
"Blind bear?" When Zhao Youcai heard the dogs barking and the cows roaring, he stood still and took off the semi-automatic rifle from his shoulder. He pulled the bolt swiftly, took out the best magazine from his pocket, pressed the bullet into the chamber, pulled the magazine, pulled the bolt, and the bullet was loaded instantly!
"Brother-in-law!" Wang Qiang was a beat slower, but it was not because of his poor quality, but because he was carrying 20 kilograms of "supplies". If he wanted to join the battle, Wang Qiang had to take off the big backpack first.
At this time, Wang Qiang, who was loading bullets into the gun, called Zhao Youcai and said, "How could there be a black bear before?"
Although nothing is absolute, it is impossible for a black bear to run down the mountain at this time? If it runs to the South Land, it will have no food and no place to hibernate!
"Kill him first!" Zhao Youcai's eyes flashed with fierceness, holding the gun in both hands, and ran forward.
At this time, Zhao Youcai's energy, physical strength, excitement, and all kinds of states have reached the peak!
As soon as Zhao Youcai moved, Wang Qiang didn't think about anything else and quickly followed him.
And Zhang Yuanmin also mistook the old cow for a black blind man. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and muttered: "If I had known earlier, I would have taken a gun too!"
The three ran in a line on the snow. When they got closer, Zhao Youcai stood ten meters away, and his little eyes were also wide open.
Wang Qiang also slowed down his pace and came to Zhao Youcai in a daze. At this time, he really couldn't believe his eyes.
An old yellow cow lay in the snow, wailing, shaking its head left and right and looking back.
And in the back half of the old yellow cow, eleven dogs were tearing its buttocks, thighs, and intestines.
Beside the sled, Zhang Life was struggling in the snow. Whenever he stood up, the black tiger would rush over and bite his cotton trouser leg, then drag Zhang Life down.
This dog holds a grudge. After a leg was kicked off by a red deer, it would rush up when it smelled the scent of red deer in Lingnan.
Usually, when the Zhao army beat it or someone made it angry, the black tiger would not dare to bite people, but it would still curse a few times.
Today, it was beaten by an outsider, so what could it do?
But the black tiger understood human nature, so it would not hurt people. It only bit Zhang Life's cotton trouser leg every time. Whenever Zhang Life stood up, it would drag Zhang Life down.
"Hey!" At this time, Zhang Yuanmin rushed to Zhao Youcai. The first thing he saw was Heihu and Zhang Lifu, so he shouted: "Isn't that Uncle Zhang?"
Today, at the beginning of spring, Zhang Yuanmin had a conflict with Zhang Lifu because of setting a trap to kill roe deer. Zhang Lifu slapped him. Later, Zhao Jun mediated and the two men made peace.
When people in the Northeast have conflicts, they will get along better after being beaten and scolded, which is called "no fight, no acquaintance".
Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang reacted to Zhang Yuanmin's shouting, and both ran towards the old yellow cow.
"Get out of the way!" Zhao Youcai kicked and kicked, but he couldn't get rid of the dogs that saw blood. At this time, Wang Qiang picked up Bailong from behind.
But Bailong was notoriously fierce. Although he was picked up by Wang Qiang, the dog bit the cracked skin on the cow's buttocks and refused to let go.
Zhao Youcai had no thoughts in his mind now, and acted completely on instinct.
He rushed over, grabbed the fur on the back of Bailong's neck with his right hand, and slapped Bailong's nose with his left hand. Bailong howled and shook his head before letting go.
Dogs are very similar to black bears and badgers in this respect, they are afraid of being hit on the nose.
Seeing Bailong let go, Wang Qiang threw Bailong to the side, and Zhao Youcai kicked Bailong's butt. Bailong made a "woo" sound and turned back to bite when he found something wrong.
At this time, Zhao Youcai kicked again, and Bailong jumped up and ran back.
"Get out! Get out!" Zhao Youcai picked up the corn stalk that Zhang Lifu threw on the ground. This corn stalk was broken into two pieces, and Zhao Youcai swung it at the dog gang like a nunchaku.
The hunting dogs didn't really feel any pain when he hit them like this, but Zhao Youcai shouted and cursed, scaring away most of the hunting dogs.
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin rushed to Zhang Lifu's side. He drove away the black tiger and bent down to help Zhang Lifu.
"Uncle Zhang!" Zhang Yuanmin called out, and Zhang Lifu burst into tears, holding Zhang Yuanmin's arm and crying, "Crotch..."
Zhang Yuanmin: "..."
"Go back! Go!" Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang took great effort to pull Da Pang off the old yellow cow.
In autumn, the prey on the mountain is fat, and this fat guy eats a lot every day. In addition, the Zhao army has good food. Although it is impossible to feed the dog meat on a regular basis, it can get some oil and water.
Today's Da Pang weighs more than 120 kilograms, with a big round head and a big round butt. Zhao Youcai kicked Da Pang's butt, and Da Pang didn't move at all. But when Zhao Youcai told him to go home, Da Pang ran home.
Zhao Youcai turned around and saw that Huanglong was the only dog left that bit the old yellow cow. But when he and Wang Qiang hugged Huang Long, Hei Hu jumped onto the sled and grabbed the bloody buttocks of the old yellow cow.
Zhao Youcai was so angry that after pulling Huang Long down, he kicked him away and then pounced on Hei Hu with Wang Qiang!
At this time, Hei Hu was still kicking the sled with his two hind legs and biting the cow's buttocks with his upper body.
Wang Qiang and Zhao Youcai had no choice but to step on the sled. Wang Qiang hugged Hei Hu around the waist. This guy had eaten as much as Da Pang recently, and Wang Qiang couldn't pull him at all.
This dog hated people so much that Zhao Youcai slapped Hei Hu twice in the mouth. After these two slaps, Zhao Youcai felt that his middle finger and ring finger on his right hand were numb.
Looking at the black tiger again, it suddenly threw its head upwards and yelled towards the left: "Aoaoao..."
After biting a few times, the black tiger threw its head to the right again, stretching its neck to bite again.
"Aoaoao..."
It didn't matter if it bit, but it was hard for Wang Qiang who was holding it. As the black tiger threw it to the upper right, Wang Qiang couldn't stand up instantly.
A man holding a dog fell off the sled, and Wang Qiang's head was dizzy. The black tiger turned over and got up from the snow, yelling at Zhao Youcai: "Aoaoao..."
"Fuck..." Zhao Youcai jumped off the sled and rushed straight to the black tiger.
The black tiger turned its head and jumped three or five meters away in an instant.
Zhao Youcai stopped, and the black tiger turned around and yelled again: "Aoaoao..."
"Fuck..." Zhao Youcai stomped his feet, and the black tiger turned around and ran away.
"Second brother!" Zhang Life called Zhao Youcai in great sorrow, but he was trying hard not to cry.
Just now in front of Zhang Yuanmin, Zhang Life could not control himself, but when he came to Zhao Youcai, Zhang Life held back his tears.
Because Zhao Youcai had done him a favor, Zhang Life did not want to embarrass Zhao Youcai.
"Ahhh..."
"Ahhh..."
Bursts of dog barking came, but gradually faded away.
Zhao Youcai's fiery heart gradually cooled down, and he stood there, staring at the white snow, without saying a word.
"Big tongue!" At this time, Wang Qiang reached out and grabbed Zhang Lifeu, whispering to him: "It's okay, this cow... We will compensate you."
When Wang Qiang said this, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Zhang Lifeu's eyes. He tilted his head slightly, raised his right hand to cover his face, and gently shook his hand and whispered: "What compensation, can I ask my second brother for money?"
"Brother!" I don't know if he heard their conversation, Zhao Youcai said hoarsely: "We brothers don't talk about compensation, this cow..."
At this point, Zhao Youcai gritted his teeth and said: "I bought it!"
"Second brother!" Zhang Lifeu clenched his fists and swung them left and right, saying: "If I want your money, am I still a human being?"
"Okay, Brother Zhang!" Wang Qiang grabbed Zhang Lifeu and said: "My brother-in-law doesn't need to pay for this cow, I'll buy it! Okay?"
"You can't buy it..." Zhang Lifeu wanted to say something, but was held down by Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang shook his head and said, "I, Wang Qiang, always keep my word. I'll buy this cow! We're going up the mountain today, and I don't have any money in my pocket. Brother Zhang, go home first, and I'll go to your house this afternoon to give you the money!"
"No need for that!" Zhang Life pushed Wang Qiang's arm away and said, "I'll take this cow home, skin it, and sell the meat at the market, and the money will come back, right?"
"No! No!" Wang Qiang waved his hands again and again, saying, "If you sell it at the market, don't I have to buy it? Okay, you don't have to worry about anything, just go home, and even give us this sled."
Beef costs one yuan and four or five cents per pound. But this old cow that has worked hard can't be sold at the price of beef!
At least one thousand yuan!
"Uncle Zhang, go home!" At this time, Zhang Yuanmin also pulled Zhang Life, but Zhang Life still refused to leave. Finally, Zhao Youcai said, "Sixth Smash!"
Zhang Life is the sixth child in the family, but since he fled to the Northeast, few people call him that.
"Second brother!" Zhang Lifeu looked at Zhao Youcai with red eyes, but saw Zhao Youcai waving at him repeatedly.
Zhang Lifeu lowered his head and turned away.
"Hum..." At this time, the old ox that was still breathing could not help but let out a whine when he saw his master was leaving.
Wang Qiang sighed lightly, waved his hand to signal Zhao Youcai and Zhang Yuanmin to move aside, and then raised his gun to kill the old ox.
"Bang!"
The gunshot sounded, and Zhang Lifeu, who was leaving with his back turned, had two lines of tears in his eyes.
Seeing the cow's head drooping, Wang Qiang waved his hand to Zhang Yuanmin and Zhao Youcai, saying: "Open it up, and put it on the sled after that!"
"Uncle!" Zhang Yuanmin asked in surprise: "Why put it on the sled? We have a rope, tie the cow's legs, and pull it back."
Wang Qiang curled his lips and said: "Don't you think it's ugly? We came out to hunt and dragged an old cow back."
"This..." Zhang Yuanmin was speechless, but what Wang Qiang said was right. People have been hunting in Yong'an since the end of the Ming Dynasty. They can hunt bears, pigs, deer, and even Zhao Jun's grandfather has participated in hunting tigers, but there has never been a hunting of cattle.
Seeing that Zhang Yuanmin was silent, Wang Qiang pointed at the sled and said, "I just saw that there was a tarpaulin on his sled. Let's put the cow on the sled, cover it with the tarpaulin, and pull the sled back. No one will know what is on it."
"Ah..." Zhang Yuanmin blinked his eyes twice, thinking that this was indeed a solution, but he still had a question, so he asked Wang Qiang, "Uncle, what should we use to pull this sled?"
"I'll pull it!" Wang Qiang said unhappily, "I'll pull it, okay?"
Zhang Yuanmin shrank his neck, pulled out the knife from his waist, and ran straight to the old yellow cow.
Wang Qiang looked back at Zhao Youcai, and when he was about to speak, a magpie flew over.
"Chirp chirp..."
Starting tomorrow, I will resume three updates.
I took a leave yesterday, and I will make up for it when the time comes.
I just wrote about Zhao Youcai hitting Bailong's nose, which is also useful in reality.
If there is a mad dog biting someone, or if there is a dog fight, brothers can try this move.
Make a fist and hit the dog's nose.
