Chapter 134: Dog Gang Gets Together
After untying the ropes, Dahuang and Dahei rushed towards the black wolf without hesitation.

Yue Feng knew that Gouzi was sociable, so if he wanted to be stable, the simplest and most brutal way to determine who was the boss was to have a fight. Black Wolf was a guy with a high IQ and a big physique, so he should be able to handle the two-on-one situation.

Sure enough, the moment Dahei and Dahuang rushed over, the black wolf leaned forward, arched its waist, bared its teeth, and entered a threatening state.

Dahuang is used to being the leader dog, and with his companions by his side, he is not afraid of the threat from the black wolf at all.

The fight broke out instantly, and the two dogs, Big Yellow and Big Black, rushed towards the black wolf’s neck and bit it.

But the next scene surprised Yue Feng a little.

The black wolf arrived first after attacking from behind. It dodged the attacks of the two dogs by turning sideways, then it aimed at its target, grabbed the skin on the back of Big Black’s neck, and threw Big Black away with a shake of its head.

The big yellow dog next to him missed his bite, and when he rushed up again, it was already a one-on-one fight.

However, the black wolf did not bite rhubarb. Instead, it nudged rhubarb with its head, causing rhubarb to stagger. When rhubarb stood up, the black wolf came up again and nudged rhubarb with its head again.

After two consecutive times, Dahuang seemed to realize that he was no match for the beast and wagged his tail at it.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yue Feng also untied the least timid little flower dog.

The spotted dog witnessed with his own eyes the black wolf’s behavior of urinating everywhere to mark its territory after it was untied. It also quarreled with the other two companions. However, after seeing the black wolf easily beat the two dogs, the little spotted dog did not step forward to provoke it. Instead, it lowered its head and sniffed it. When the black wolf bared its teeth and was about to bite it, this guy shamelessly turned over and exposed his belly.

In a dog’s behavior, the belly is its vital part, and actively exposing the belly means submission.

The black wolf did not continue to attack. Instead, after sniffing the scent of the spotted dog, it turned to look at Yue Feng, put its paws on the ground, and barked at Yue Feng twice as if asking for credit.

“Hey, this is strange! Is this the end?” Xiao Tao, who had been watching the fun nearby, couldn’t help but ask.

“Yeah? Aren’t we all convinced now?” Yue Feng nodded.

“I’m quite puzzled. Why does the black wolf react differently to different dogs? For example, just now, Da Huang bit the most fiercely, but the black wolf didn’t bite it. Da Hei refused to accept it, and was grabbed by the neck and thrown out, and then he wilted!”

Yue Feng stroked Black Wolf’s head and said with a smile, “Haha, this is actually very simple. Da Huang is a female dog! The other two dogs are male dogs! Since Black Wolf has rearranged the order of the dogs in the pack, shouldn’t he be favored in the harem?
He pushed forward several times to show his attitude and position, and demonstrated his strength! I have to say that this black wolf is indeed smarter than the other dogs! “

“So among these four dogs now, Black Wolf becomes the leader dog?” Xiao Tao asked again.

“From the perspective of the strength and status of the dog pack, it is true that Black Wolf defeated the other three dogs and has the highest status in the pack!
But if we go up the mountain, there is still a different division of labor. After all, in the eyes of the dogs, the one with the highest status is not the dog, but the owner, that is me!
No matter how they rank, their status is lower than mine! They are below me, whoever I feed meat to can eat it, if I don’t give it to them, they dare not snatch it, otherwise they will be punished!
This black wolf should be pretty good, let’s see its actual performance tomorrow!
It is very smart. Last time when Yuanjie got into trouble, it ran back home to report the news even though it was so far away. There is no way it can get lost if we take it up the mountain!

After a few simple runs, they should be able to understand their companions’ strengths and advantages. Then, who will be the leader will have their own division of labor, and we don’t need to worry about it!”

“Now that the problem of these four dogs getting along well has been solved, what about the four wolf cubs in the house? Why don’t we let them out together and see how the big dogs react?” Xiao Tao suggested again.

In fact, Yue Feng often took the four half-grown puppies out for fun in the yard when the big dog was usually on a leash, but he had never tried a situation like today where he completely let go of the leash and had close contact with the dog.

Anyway, the situation in the yard seemed quite harmonious, so Yue Feng simply opened the door of the north room and let the four puppies out.

“Black Wolf, Big Yellow, Big Black, Little Flower, you are not allowed to bite the puppy, do you hear me? I will beat anyone who dares to bite me!”

Yue Feng didn’t care whether the big dogs could understand or not. He picked up a one-meter-long stick from the warehouse door and scared them a few times. Then he opened the door of the north room and released the four puppies into the yard.

Normally, the four puppies play around in the yard, and the big dog is tied up when going to the toilet, so nothing can be seen. But today was different. As soon as the four puppies came out, the head dog Canglong immediately noticed something was wrong.

The black wolf barked at Canglong twice, and Canglong was very tactful and came closer, wagging his tail. Before the black wolf could show its teeth, Canglong had already exposed his belly.

Canglong was the first to express his stance, and the remaining three brothers and sisters also came over in unison to express their submission. They looked quite adorable as they wagged their tails and hummed.

Xiao Tao glanced at them and complained in dissatisfaction: “Fuck! These puppies are really smart. They can tell at a glance that Black Wolf is the leader among the four big dogs!”

“With a high IQ and a strong hunting instinct, a good hunting dog is basically enough!

Do you know why Canglong and the others knew that Heilang was the leader as soon as they came out?” Yue Feng asked with a smile.

“How would I know? Could it be the attitude of the other dogs towards the black wolf?”

Yue Feng shook his head: “No, it was just that Black Wolf peed around the yard and left his scent behind! The scent was not covered up by the follow-up, so Canglong knew that the territory in the yard belonged to Black Wolf, so he naturally surrendered to him!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, so that’s what’s going on! From this perspective, the world of dogs is quite interesting!”

“Haha, indeed! In the short term, Canglong will definitely not dare to show his teeth to Heilang, but after he grows to two years old, it may not be the case! If I don’t keep them under control, they will inevitably fight sooner or later! By then, it will probably be Heilang who will suffer!”

“Yes, very interesting!”

Just as the Yuefeng brothers were looking at the dogs all over the yard, suddenly a magical scene appeared in front of them.

After a few minutes of brief contact with Canglong and the others, the black wolf actually began to lick Canglong’s fur actively.

According to the behavioral logic of dogs, there are basically only two situations in which a dog licks another dog’s fur.

The first and most common one is that a dog of lower status licks the fur of a dog of higher status. This mainly means to please the dog. This is what is meant by licking the dog. Obviously, the actual situation now does not apply to the first principle.

Black Wolf has the strongest combat power at the moment, and he will definitely not take the initiative to please Canglong, a half-grown cub. Even though Canglong has good meals every day and is gaining weight like crazy after coming to Yue Feng’s house, he is still only a four-month-old half-grown puppy, and his strength is simply not enough to compete with Black Wolf.

Another possibility is relatively uncommon, where an elder dog, such as a female dog, licks the fur of her own puppies. This mainly means care and cleanliness.

Could it be that Black Wolf regards himself as an elder in front of Canglong?

Yue Feng thought about it and quickly figured out the connection. From the information given by Uncle Zhao, it was very likely that Heilang was Canglong’s half-brother.

Black Wolf is only three and a half years old, and is at the peak of his physical strength and condition. Canglong is less than half a year old. There is at least three years of age difference between these two dogs.

Could it be that after such a long time, Black Wolf was still able to analyze and determine that Canglong and the others were his brothers and sisters through smell?

Even with Yue Feng’s knowledge, it is hard to believe this inference, but the reality is here, so he can only believe it this way.

Black Wolf licked Canglong’s head and ears, then sniffed its butt, and soon moved on to Black Tiger, Leopard, and finally Tanlang. After the four dogs were licked one by one by the “big brother”, they all lay down obediently, as if they would follow the big brother’s lead.

There were eight dogs in the yard, and their condition was unexpectedly harmonious for Yue Feng.

For a moment, Yue Feng even thought that when the weather outside gets warmer and the puppies are bigger and no longer afraid of the cold, he would take them into the mountains when they are seven or eight months old. By then, they can learn things from the old dogs in advance and master hunting skills more quickly.

After a few more months of adjustment and summary, when the hound is one year old, it can basically participate in actual combat.

After this “test” of ranking the situation at home, Yue Feng had a deeper understanding of the conditions of the dogs at home. After playing with the dogs in the yard for a while, he tied up the four big dogs and took Xiao Tao and the four puppies into the north room.

It must be said that the north room is much more lively than that of ordinary houses. In addition to Yue Feng’s family of four, there are also four puppies and the dear little eagle.

My dad had nothing to do but fiddle with the chicken hawk. It was a good chicken hawk, but because it had been under people’s noses for 24 hours a day, it had already become mature.

“Brother, which mountain are we going to tomorrow? Or is it near Sandagang where we went last time?” After entering the room, Xiao Tao sat on the edge of the kang and discussed with Yue Feng the plans for going up the mountain tomorrow.

Yue Feng frowned slightly and thought for a while, then shook his head: “It’s hard to find any good harvest at Sandaogang! Even if there is, I don’t want to get into trouble!

That armored cannonball is not easy to deal with. If the dogs run into it, they might get injured or even killed!”

“We have guns, and if the dog holds us back, we can just reload our guns! No matter whether he’s wearing armor or not, can he withstand 7.62mm bullets?” Xiao Tao asked in confusion.

Yue Feng smiled and nodded: “Pine oil seeds, soil, branches and other debris will definitely not be able to stop bullets, but if there are pebbles and stones from the stream mixed in, it’s hard to say!
Last time I shot that guy at least three times, two of which hit near the shoulder, both of which produced sparks. I estimated that even if I could break through the defense, most of the power of the bullets would be consumed, and the worst that could happen would be minor injuries!

We haven’t gotten to know our new hound properly yet, so we should be cautious and wait for the rest!”

Xiao Tao scratched his head: “Where are we going? Otherwise, I’ll go home and ask my dad?”

Just as the two brothers were discussing their destination for tomorrow’s mountain climbing, Yue Lei, leaning on his crutches and supporting his baby, lifted the door curtain of Yue Feng’s room.

“Tomorrow, you guys, why don’t you go to the No. 13 forest farm! The ridges over there are all gentle slopes, and the field is brighter. If you can run into a group of pigs, it’s not easy to hurt the dogs!”

“At Forest Farm No. 13?”

After hearing his father’s reminder, Yue Feng carefully recalled the situation of the forest in his mind, but he seemed to only remember some useful information.

“Yes, Forest Farm No. 13! That one is near the front, and the forest has been selectively logged! The farm is bright, and there are streams at the bottom of several ditches, so there’s no shortage of food!

In previous years, your uncle Li and I often went there to set traps, and we always caught wild boars and other things! I think it’s a good place to train the dogs!

I don’t know if Chen Pao has told you the techniques of taking dogs to hunt in the mountains. If you want to see the dog’s skills, you have to find a gentle slope.

Why? Because the hunter’s speed in the mountains is much slower than that of the dog!
The gentler the slope, the faster people can catch up; the brighter the place, the better the visibility in the woods!

If the terrain is too bad and it is not conducive for the dogs to perform well, if they encounter a tough enemy weighing three or four hundred kilograms, the dogs will be picked up one by one, and the people will not be able to catch up. When they arrive, they will only be left to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies of the dogs! “

In forest farms of this era, there are two methods of logging. One is clear-cutting, which means that no matter how thick or thin the wood is, all of it will be cut down and taken to the felling mill.

The other method is selective felling, which involves choosing target trees that meet the required tree diameter and species and felling them, leaving behind small trees that do not meet the requirements and which can continue to grow.

After selective felling, the forest is much more spacious because the big trees have been cut down. New branches will sprout from the felled tree stumps. These young branches and buds are also the favorite food of wild boars, deer, roe deer and other mountain animals.

Overall, the hunting ground suggested by my father Yue Lei is quite suitable.

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay, then let’s listen to my dad. Let’s go to Forest Farm No. 13 and give it a try tomorrow! You go and inform brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu later, and we’ll gather on time tomorrow morning!”

Xiao Tao responded, “Don’t worry! Brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu have been eager to go up the mountain to hunt for a long time! I have heard Xiaowu complain several times that he doesn’t want to go up the mountain because he has a dog!”

After finalizing the destination for tomorrow’s climb up the mountain, Xiao Tao said goodbye and left early, leaving only Yue Feng and Yue Lei in the room.
