Chapter 129 Black Wolf Returns
Yue Feng led people into the mountains to help avenge Yuan Jie, indeed out of consideration for Uncle Zhao.

Logically speaking, there would be nothing wrong with Yue Feng not spending a penny for the dog as a thank-you gift, but Yue Feng was a kind-hearted man and didn’t want to take advantage of the orphan and the widow, which moved Uncle Zhao for a moment.

As for the price of fifty yuan, it is quite fair. The market price of an ordinary hunting dog is basically forty to fifty yuan. Yue Feng gave this fifty yuan basically at the top price.

“Okay… I’ll keep the money for Xiaoqian! Yue Lei will definitely enjoy a happy old age with a son like you!”

Uncle Zhao nodded, and the matter was settled.

“Hehe, now that I’ve finished my business, it’s time for me to go home. My parents are worried about me drinking, and they must be still awake waiting for me to go back!” Yue Feng picked up the teacup, drank the tea in it in one gulp, and stood up.

“Hold the flashlight! Come on, I’ll take you to the dog!”

Uncle Zhao handed Yue Feng a flashlight, and then led Yue Feng to the warehouse in the yard.

In the warehouse, Zhao Yuanjie’s big black dog was lying in the corner. In front of him was a bowl of dog food made of cornmeal boiled in boiling water and a little vegetable soup, but he didn’t touch a single bite.

“It’s dark now, go home with your new master!”

Uncle Zhao took a look at the untouched dog food and casually untied the dog leash next to him.

Dahei was still lying there looking listless, but when Yue Feng entered the house, the moment Dahei saw Yue Feng, he immediately raised his head and wagged his tail.

It was him! It was this man who avenged his master and brought the black bear’s head back to the village!
Dahei was guarding the mourning shed at the time and saw it with his own eyes.

“Who says animals are heartless? Look at this dog. It has been tied to me for a whole day and hasn’t eaten a single bite. But when it sees you, its tail starts wagging!

Take the dog bowl too. The original owner didn’t pass it to you. Take the dog bowl back so the dog can be safer!” Uncle Zhao casually handed over the frozen dog food bowl.

As mentioned before, no matter how ferocious a dog is, as long as the owner personally hands the leash to someone else, the dog will follow you.

What if the original owner died unexpectedly? Uncle Zhao’s operation of holding the dog food bowl is a way to make up for it.

Now that self-media is well developed, you can see many people using firecrackers to blow up dog food bowls for fun during the New Year and other festivals on the Internet. If it were a few decades ago, if an old-fashioned person like Uncle Zhao saw it, he would definitely be beaten.

No matter it is a guard dog or a hunting dog, they will follow their master diligently and go through fire and water just for a bite of food. The dog food bowl is the only property of the dog besides its own life.

Using firecrackers to blow up the dog’s food bowl is an act of bullying a dumb animal that cannot speak, and in the eyes of the older generation, it will damage the good karma of the ancestors.

“Okay! I’ll take this dog back and take good care of it! Let’s go, Dahei, come home with me!”

Yue Feng took the dog food bowl and dog leash handed to him by Uncle Zhao.

The big black dog was very smart. It knew Yue Feng was going to take it away, so it followed Uncle Zhao obediently out of his house. Uncle Zhao, holding a flashlight, accompanied Yue Feng all the way to the entrance of the alley.

When the dog was about to turn the corner, it barked twice at Uncle Zhao, as if saying goodbye.

Originally, Yue Feng came to Uncle Zhao’s banquet in the evening and was quite happy after getting Zhou Yuanchao and his gang drunk. However, after buying the dog, his mood became a little complicated. The way home was not far, so he and the dog returned home leisurely.

When she pushed open the gate, as expected, the lights in her father and mother’s east room were still on. Meng Yulan heard the dogs barking in the yard and quickly opened the door to the north room while putting on her cotton jacket.

“Mom, you guys haven’t slept yet? I’m fine, you can sleep with my dad!” Yue Feng greeted in a low voice.

“Why did you bring back another dog?”

Meng Yulan shone a flashlight on the big black dog that Yue Feng was holding. As soon as the dog entered the yard, the three dogs tied in the kennel barked differently from when her son usually came home. As the mistress of the house, Meng Yulan could distinguish the subtle differences.

Yue Feng replied: “Uncle Zhao brought the black dog from Yuanjie’s home to me, so I paid fifty yuan to buy the dog back!

This dog is quite smart, and the dog gang just happens to be in need of a strong helper. I’ll give it some extra food these two days to put on some weight! Once it’s familiar with the pack and gets along well with the other dogs, I’ll take it up the mountain!”

“Okay! Add some offal and bear oil when forking the dog food!” After hearing the whole story, my mother agreed readily.

In fact, Yue Feng’s family environment and kinship atmosphere are somewhat different from those of most Northeastern native families in the village.

In other families, sons before marriage are just children in the eyes of their parents and have almost no say or decision-making power. Zhu Erhai is about the same age as Yue Feng, but he is often beaten by his father at home.

In contrast, in Yue Feng’s family, Meng Yulan and Yue Lei are much more supportive of their son’s work.

When Yue Feng first wanted to go to the ghost market to sell game, Yue Lei only secretly arranged for Li Wentong to follow him instead of directly forbidding him to go. This detail can show the behavioral patterns under the guidance of different ways of thinking.

Meng Yulan and Yue Lei are now very satisfied with their son’s performance. Their son knows how to earn money for his family. He shows up in the village several times and handles things very well.

Now his son brought a dog home and asked his mother to take care of it. Meng Yulan agreed without even stuttering after hearing the request. She is a truly loving mother and filial son.

It was late at night and there was no kennel for the big black dog, so Yue Feng had to lead the big black dog to the warehouse. In the dog food bowl he brought, there was a bowl of cornmeal dog food that was frozen hard. Yue Feng was not in a hurry to go to bed, but put the dog food bowl on the fire wall next to the stove to wait. It wouldn’t take long for the temperature of the fire wall to melt the dog food.

He waited patiently until almost ten o’clock, when the frozen dog food thawed. Yue Feng scooped a spoonful of oil from the bear oil can and stirred it in the dog food for a few times, then brought it to the big black dog.

“The bear’s oil is added to this dog food. When you come to my house and eat this meal, you have to listen to my orders from now on. Be good, Dahei, and eat it!” Yue Feng put the food bowl in front of the big black dog and muttered to himself as if he was talking to a person.

It’s strange to say, I don’t know if the big black dog understood what Yue Feng said, but the big black dog, which had been tied up at Uncle Zhao’s house and had not eaten for a day, now lowered its head and began to eat the warm dog food with a grunt. While eating, the big black dog also grunted softly.

Yue Feng just watched the dog finish eating with a flashlight, then he closed the door of the barn, sprinkled some water in the thatched house, and then walked into his own room in the main house. The owner was back, and the four puppies in the room heard the noise and sat in a row on the edge of the kang to greet Yue Feng in a very polite manner.

During the time when the puppies were at home, Yue Feng started by teaching them simple dog training subjects such as sitting, lying down, walking, stopping, and urinating and defecating at designated places, and gave the puppies a preliminary training.

With the assistance of Canglong, the smart leader dog, Yue Feng’s dog training plan was carried out very efficiently. Now the four cubs’ bodies were slowly filled up by the daily meat meals, and they were almost different every day. Yue Feng could basically enforce his orders in the house.

Let’s put it this way, Yue Feng didn’t allow them to bark, and these clever puppies didn’t make a single sound the entire day. Canglong was really anxious, and couldn’t help but smack his lips up and down, which was quite like a ringtone set to vibrate.

Yue Feng played with the pitiful puppies sitting on the edge of the kang for a while, and gradually became sleepy. He closed the door, covered himself with a quilt, and went to sleep! !
He drank a lot of wine that night and slept very soundly. It was not until the sky gradually brightened and the rooster in the alley crowed that Yue Feng woke up slowly.

It’s good to be young. Yue Feng drank a lot of wine last night, but when he woke up, he felt refreshed, without any feeling of a hangover from his previous life.

Yue Feng quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes and opened the door. The puppies sleeping in Yue Feng’s room came to the yard in unison and went straight to the place where people urinated in the thatched house.

After solving the problem of urination and defecation, Yue Feng began his routine “morning exercise”.

Holding the big eagle on his arm, he approached the three tied big dogs one by one and got close to them. The three big dogs had already adapted to the daily activities at Yue Feng’s house and no longer had any hostility towards the four half-grown puppies. Even the best-tempered head dog, Dahuang, allowed Canglong to lick his dog food bowl.

The big eagle on the arm was quite afraid of the dog at home at first. It would stay close to the dog for a while every morning. After a long time, the big eagle was no longer afraid of the dog. No matter how the dog barked or how the puppies made noises, the big iron-backed red eagle squatted steadily on Yue Feng’s arm without even raising its eyelids, as if it had nothing to do with it.

After a while, Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu and others also arrived at Yue Feng’s house. Today was the day to go into the mountains to release hawks, so these people came to Yue Feng’s house early to have breakfast.

“There’s still some work to be done. After breakfast, we have to hang up this brown bear, clean it up, and divide the bear meat among us!” Yue Feng said to his friends.

“This is easy. Is it frozen hard? Leave the skinning and meat to me!” Xiaowen said with gritted teeth.

Yue Feng scratched his head and said awkwardly: “It’s a bit hard. I’ll drag it to the north room to slow down later. I forgot about it before going to bed last night!”

“Then we can come back this afternoon and do it! Anyway, we don’t need any meat at home for the time being, so we can just take apart the valuable things like bear paws and sell them, and bury the rest in the snow. We can clean up after we finish eating the stock at home!”

“No, there are so many mouths to feed at home and they need meat every day! Oh, wait a minute, I’m going to the barn!”

Yue Feng suddenly remembered that the big black eagle he brought back last night was still in the barn. He immediately tied the eagle back to the shelf, and then went to the barn to bring big black out.

As soon as the three dogs in the yard saw Dahei, the whole yard immediately became lively. The three dogs had been together since they were young, and even though they had changed owners, they still knew each other.

But this big black dog is different. He hasn’t become familiar with the other three hunting dogs yet. If he is taken to the mountain and the rope is cast, the dogs might start fighting before they even get to do their job.

In addition, there is a very embarrassing problem. Among the three hunting dogs in the family, there is already a hunting dog named Dahei. Dahei from Zhao Yuanjie’s family now belongs to Yue Feng, and his name has to be changed.

“Who is this? The black dog that came back to report the news from Zhao Yuanjie’s house. When did you get it back, Brother Feng?” Xiaowen was the first to recognize the dog.

“This dog is good and smart, and he knows how to go home and report the news!”

Xiao Tao also had a deep impression of this big black dog. After all, there was nothing new in the village, and it wouldn’t take long for the whole village to know about any movement.

“Uncle Zhao bought it for me. After we finished drinking last night and you left early, Uncle Zhao asked me to stay and drink tea for a while. He said he wanted to give me a dog, so I brought it back. I spent fifty yuan!” Yue Feng did not elaborate on the twists and turns and just passed it by.

Xiaowen looked the big black dog up and down and said, “This dog is worth buying! Now our hunting team is fully equipped with dogs!

If this big black dog can gain some weight, and grow to about 100 kilograms, it should be no problem for him to be a helper dog!”

Yue Feng nodded: “I’ll come back this afternoon and get a few more boards to build a doghouse for Dahei in the yard! Tie them together so that the dogs can get familiar with each other. I just don’t know if these three dogs will be xenophobic!
From now on, this dog can no longer be called Dahei, but Black Wolf!!”

The big black dog seemed to understand what Yue Feng meant. When he heard the name Black Wolf, he looked up at Yue Feng.

“From now on, you will be called Black Wolf! Dahei is the name of the dog across from you! I’ll tie you up in the yard first, and don’t fight!!!”

Yue Feng muttered to himself for a while, then chose a place that the other three dogs couldn’t reach, hammered in the ground pegs, and tied the black wolf in the yard.

After the dogs were tied up, Black Wolf behaved very calmly. The other three dogs barked at him, but Black Wolf almost never talked back. He just let Big Yellow and Big Black growl and threaten him without any fear.

The brothers chatted for a while in the yard, and soon Meng Yulan prepared breakfast. She opened the door and greeted them. Everyone went into the house quickly, set the table and started eating.

After breakfast, the three brothers took their hawks and went out into the mountains to release them. Yue Feng did not go with them as he had a mission today. He had to deliver the slow-moving peach-pointed hawk to Uncle Chen Pao. By the way, he had to teach Uncle Chen how to release the hawk and how to take care of and fiddle with the big hawk at home.

Man Taojian successfully flew a hawk at the Muling River the day before yesterday, but Yue Feng went up the mountain to hunt a bear early yesterday morning and did not give the hawk any practical experience. Yue Lei spent the whole day at home keeping the hawk on the hawk.

Fortunately, the food Yue Feng fed to the eagle was wrapped in feather shafts, and the amount of meat fed to the eagle was always relatively conservative.

In addition, the eagle did not land all day yesterday, so after the hair axis came out in the morning, the performance of this slow peach tip was very good. It did not suffer any major impact after not landing for a day.

Since it was a gift, Yue Feng packed the eagle very neatly, including the family heirloom bronze eagle bell, a brand new set of five-foot double-open toad swivels, and brand new eagle cage sleeves sewn by Meng Yulan. It was a complete set of brand new eagle outfit. After Chen Paoying got it, he didn’t need to buy anything else.

After breakfast, Yue Feng mounted the eagle with one hand, rode his bicycle out of the village and headed straight for Chen Pao’s home in Fang’an Village.
