Chapter 189 Yue Feng’s Battle Record

He slept a little uneasy that night. The five red dogs that were locked in the kennel by Uncle Zhao started barking in the middle of the night. The black wolf that was sleeping at Yue Feng’s feet in the room got up several times after hearing the noise. Every time there was a little movement, Yue Feng would wake up with a start. After coming to his senses and realizing that there was no danger in the cellar, he turned over and fell asleep again.

In comparison, Xiao Tao and his brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu slept more soundly. They could drink less. There was always wood burning under the stove in the house, and the temperature in the cellar was not low.

So, we brothers slept on the floor in Uncle Zhao’s cellar and spent the night.

When it was slightly light outside and it was still dark, Uncle Zhao, who had gotten enough sleep, opened his eyes.

The old man goes to bed early. As he gets older, he sleeps less. There is nothing entertaining on the mountain, so he has developed the habit of going to bed at dusk and getting up at dawn.

Hearing the snoring of the boys next to him, Uncle Chen quietly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and began to make breakfast for the children in the dim light.

Breakfast is also simple. I pick out a few bones with large chunks of meat from the stew that was not finished last night, use a knife to shave off the lean meat that has been cooked into a mushy mess, and then take out some corn stubble from my pocket and add them to the pot. I then scoop a few scoops of water from yesterday’s melted snow, bring it to a boil, and then simmer for a while. I have a pot of corn grits porridge with the aroma of meat.

Yue Feng is a very alert sleeper. Before breakfast was ready, he opened his eyes when he heard the noise.

“Uncle, you got up so early!”

“Are you awake? How did you sleep last night? It’s quiet during the day when we stay in the mountains, but at night, there’s all kinds of noise! ​​You must be a little uncomfortable, right?”

“Not bad. Your red dogs seemed a little restless in the middle of the night. I heard them barking!”

Uncle Chen waved his hand and said, “It’s okay. We only fed them once yesterday. They didn’t feed them at night. These puppies must be thinking about the pig they killed during the day, so they want to have a midnight snack!”

“Let’s go kill Xiong Cangzi today. Is the place far? Your red dogs are not very friendly to my black wolf. How about tying the black wolf at home today?” Yue Feng asked.

“Your big black dog is smart just by looking at your eyes! Red dogs are indeed not friendly to dogs outside, but it’s okay, as long as they stay close to me, they won’t dare to make trouble! These red dogs are disobedient, and I have to deal with them every once in a while!”

“Ah? Isn’t it true that once this thing is trained, its temperament will remain stable?”

“It’s not that easy. These dogs obey the bitch. When they go out to hunt, it’s the bitch who gives them the orders. In their eyes, I rank after the bitch. At most, I’m the second in command of the team!

Every once in a while a dog would bar its teeth at me, challenging my position!

But it’s easy to deal with. If you dare to show your teeth to me, I’ll just whip you a few times and it will be done in no time!”

After hearing this, Yue Feng completely gave up the idea of ​​learning from Uncle Zhao how to train a red dog for hunting.

How much effort is needed to be on guard against this dog that you raise at home! In nature, it is a bit like a big eagle tied at home. If you don’t play with it for a few days, it will break down!

“What’s the matter? Do you want to learn how to train a red dog?” Uncle Zhao seemed to see through Yue Feng’s thoughts.

“I had this thought yesterday, but after hearing what you said just now, forget it.

The dogs I have at home are enough to go up the mountain, so I’d better not bother with these red dogs whose obedience is unstable. I have a younger sister at home. If she gets bitten, it will be more trouble than gain!”

“It’s not that I’m hiding something from you, but the key to training the Jackal Gang to hunt lies mostly with that bitch. Even if I were to start over, without this bitch, I wouldn’t be able to control the other four dogs!

These beasts are very cruel. They will not waste the bodies of injured fellow beasts in the wild!

So if you can raise a proper hunting dog, don’t think about this stuff. I have nothing to do in the mountains and I can barely control it with all the time. How can ordinary people have the time to stare at the dog at home all day long!
Besides, don’t you have four wolf-blooded dogs at home? If you feed them well and lay a good foundation, they should be able to go up the mountain to learn the work by next autumn.

A dog with wolf blood learns faster than an ordinary hound. Plus, you have this big black dog in your hands, so it won’t take long to drag it out!
If you need help to drag the dog, bring the dog up the mountain and come to me. I have plenty of time!”

“Okay! I’ll definitely come and bother you if I need you!”

After chatting for a while, it was bright outside and the breakfast in the pot was ready.

“Get up and have breakfast! After breakfast, I’ll take you to Heixiaziling. We still have a long way to go!” Uncle Zhao raised his voice and woke up the few people who were still sleepy.

“Wash your face in the basin at the door! Then let’s eat!”

Soon, the brothers climbed up swiftly, rolled up the wild boar skins and bear skins under them, and put them aside after a simple arrangement.

Seeing Yue Feng rolling up the bear skin, Uncle Zhao took a closer look and said, “Is this the bear you killed to save Lao Chen? It’s quite big!”

Yue Feng shook his head: “That was a black bear, and this is the skin of another brown bear! It was accidentally smoked out in a warehouse in the northwest of the forest farm. At that time, we were chasing the other bear, but we didn’t expect that the dog was chased by the bear and ran into a cave. There was also a brown bear in it. We killed two bears in this trip!” “So, you killed three bears this winter?” Hearing Yue Feng’s description, Uncle Zhao looked at the young men in front of him and was quite surprised.

You know, although bears are not rare animals in this era, their living habits determine that the density is not that high. If you can kill three bears in one winter, you are definitely a mature hunter with a very high record.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “There are more than these three bears. A few days ago, we killed a three-year-old female bear that gave birth in winter. We also killed a sick male bear that attacked workers in Chaiji Road and kicked several villagers! I think we killed five bears in total!”

With the 56-and-a-half, it’s relatively safer, and now we have the Black Hawk, so when we hunt bears, the dog’s safety is much better!”

“Five!! Good boy, your record in this first year in the mountains is equal to that of many veteran hunters who have been in the mountains for half their lives!”

Ordinary hunters would not go hunting bears for no reason. Conventional hunting rifles are mostly homemade ones with only one bullet per shot. Hunting bears is a life-threatening act.

Even for hunters who have access to 16-gauge barreled rifles, hunting bears is not an easy task.

Uncle Zhao was confident that he could kill Xiong Cangzi by himself, but he also had to rely on the five red dogs in his family to raid the enemy. In case of mistakes, the red dogs could harass and restrain him, leaving some room for error.

But when it comes to Yue Feng, he has a Type 56 rifle that costs more than one thousand yuan. With this powerful weapon, the risk of killing a bear is greatly reduced. It is understandable that he has achieved so many results in just half a winter.

Yue Feng grinned: “Hehe, what luck! To be honest, none of the bears we killed were found by ourselves, or we killed them by ourselves!
You must explain to us today the rules and tricks of how the older generation of hunters kill bears!”

“We now have two 56 rifles and one barrel-mounted rifle, so why bother with rules and tricks? I estimate that if the blind bear leaves the warehouse, he will be knocked down in one round!” Uncle Zhao said very objectively.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “These are two different things! Having a strong weapon in hand can indeed save a lot of trouble, but we are all self-taught, without a master to guide us, and no one to teach us step by step!

These rules passed down by the older generations are the result of thousands of lessons learned. Learning them will not only benefit you in the matter of hunting bears.

You are willing to take us to kill Xiong Cangzi, so I naturally cannot miss this rare learning opportunity! “

Hearing this, some people may complain that this protagonist is too fake. He has a hard gun in his hand, but he still has to learn the old rules. Isn’t this just adding drama to something that doesn’t exist, or taking off pants to fart is a waste of time?

That’s not really the case. There are reasons behind the rules and tricks. Having a gun now doesn’t mean you will have a gun at all times. It is always good to have many skills. What you need to learn is the essence of them, instead of relying solely on good weapons and looking down on the skills passed down from generation to generation.

Yue Feng does have the ability to kill Xiong Cangzi independently without relying on any external force, but the other team members do not have it. As a qualified captain, he must make the brothers who follow him develop their abilities.

Now that a senior top hunter is right in front of me, I can’t give up such a valuable learning opportunity.

“You are a young kid, but you think things through! Well, well, since you want to learn, I, Old Zhao, will teach you the art of killing bears today! Eat while it’s hot, and I’ll take you there once you’re full and satisfied!”

Next we were going to kill Xiongcangzi. The brothers were full of energy. They took turns filling their bowls with hot corn porridge and taking a few bites of the hot stewed meat. Soon they were full and satisfied.

When people are full, dogs and eagles also need to be fed.

Yue Feng used Uncle Zhao’s dog food bowl and served Heilang a bowl of corn porridge, so that the hungry dog ​​could also have a good meal.

Anyway, we are going to hunt the bear later, so we will have enough time to feed the dog then. Now, just eat a small meal until you are half full.

In comparison, Grandpa Zhao’s way of feeding the red dogs was relatively simple and rough. He gathered the bones that he had vomited out from eating meat last night, and dug out frozen wild boar meat strips from the snow pile behind the house. He opened the door of the doghouse, and the five red dogs rushed out one after another.

Watching the five dogs eating at close range, Yue Feng gained some new understanding of what Uncle Zhao had said not long ago.

This red dog really doesn’t regard Uncle Zhao as his master. The best wild boar meat strips were eaten first by the jackal-blooded dog with a slightly lighter fur color. The other dogs didn’t dare to grab them and could only pick up the bones on the ground and chew them first.

The thick bones of the wild boar crunched like biscuits in the jackal’s mouth and were soon chewed into pieces and swallowed into its stomach.

When the leading female dog was about 60% to 70% full, Uncle Zhao called the female dog over, and the other four dogs rushed forward to grab the remaining meat.

It took about twenty minutes in total, and the five jackals had eaten up all the broken bones and frozen boar head. Even the bloody foam on the ground was cleaned up.

These bloody dogs are so evil!
