Li Long came to the wolf head stand. The wolf that had been trapped before was already dead. Blood was all over the ground, staining the ice lumps in the wolf's internal organs red.

The leader wolf was not completely dead yet and was still twitching. With the dim light from the sky, Li Long could vaguely see that it was still staring at him. It would probably die with its eyes open.

It doesn’t matter. The wolf pack is basically destroyed anyway and can’t make any big waves anymore.

The fox was whimpering, probably because it was scared. When Li Long looked at it, he felt that it was lying on the ground, wagging its tail, as if begging for mercy from him.

That pitiful expression - I couldn't see clearly because it was too dark, but it looked really pitiful, and Li Long smelled shit, so this guy must have shit because he was scared.

He walked over and stepped on the fox's neck, but the fox didn't even resist!
I was so scared!
Li Long bent down and untied the thin wire on the fox's legs, picked it up by the neck and threw it far away into the snow. "Let's go. Today, I, Lord Long, will be merciful and will not kill you!"

The fox probably really didn't expect that it would be let go. It rolled twice in the snow, got up and looked at Li Long. It found that Li Long had already gone to deal with the two wolves. It quickly jumped up in the snow and ran into the pine forest. After a while, it disappeared.

There will always be shadows in this life, right?

Li Long did not dare to be careless. He held the gun in his right hand and dragged the first wolf to the wooden house with his left hand. Then he untied the wire noose of the other wolf and dragged it back into the house.

There are two wolves that need to be dealt with, so I won’t be able to sleep well tonight.

However, now that the hidden danger had been eliminated, Li Long was quite excited. He first lit the oil lamp, used a fire hook to light the fire, added coal to the stove, put the pot on the stove, filled the pot with water, and then began to deal with the wolf.

There were several bullet holes on the hide of the wolf leader, which was just a remnant of skin. But Li Long didn't care. He first used the handle of his knife to pry off the wolf leader's teeth. It must be said that this wolf was much bigger than the other wolves, and its teeth were much longer.

In Li Long's opinion, the difference between wolf teeth and dog teeth is that the part of wolf teeth inside the gums and outside the gums is about one to one, while the part of dog teeth inside the gums accounts for two-thirds, and the part outside the gums that is the exposed tip of the tooth accounts for one-third.

As for the fact that many people say wolf teeth have grooves and do not crack, he doesn't quite understand it. What's more, he is only a semi-layman and still needs to learn more.

He remembered that 20 years later, he went to the International Grand Bazaar, which was built not long ago and was still frequented by locals. He saw a beautiful Russian girl selling wolf teeth. Some were beautifully packaged in boxes, and some were loose in bunches. The packaged ones were ten yuan each, and the loose ones were five yuan each - well, Li Long was sure that these were dog teeth.

After prying off the wolf's fangs, Li Long chopped off the wolf's head and put it aside. He would put this thing outside to make a wolf head stand tomorrow.

To be honest, it doesn't seem to be of much use - it can't even scare away a fox, but to Li Long, it still looks pretty good and he just regards it as a display of his own achievement.

The next step was to skin it, gut it and remove the fetal stone. Skinning and gutting it would be a good way to stop the dirty blood from flowing around the house, but the wolf had a gunshot wound and dirty blood was still flowing out of the wound.

Li Long didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He could just clean it up tomorrow morning. It would be a real pain to go out and peel the skin now. The temperature outside was already close to minus 30 degrees Celsius. He would probably be frozen to the bone if he went out for less than half an hour.

The fire was blazing and the light from the oil lamp was flickering, not very bright, but Li Long had good eyesight and could see clearly so as not to cut his intestines.

Skinning is more difficult than during the day. After all, the light is insufficient, and it is easy to cut the meat when scratching between the skin and the meat. Li Long tries his best to avoid cutting the wolf skin.

It was already a remnant of skin, but Li Long thought he should still cherish it. He planned to keep the skin of the wolf leader as a souvenir. After all, this was the leader of a pack of wolves, and he had fought with him for two or three days, so he was considered a good opponent.

After dealing with the head wolf, Li Long took its meat to the small room next door. He rubbed the blood off his hands with snow outside, then returned to the big room and sat on the kang to rest.

The room was filled with the smell of blood and a foul odor, which was not pleasant, so Li Long simply opened the door to let some fresh air in. Although the cold air also came in, opening the door made him more sober.

After resting for a while, Li Long closed the door and continued to deal with the other wolf.

This wolf was handled much more roughly. The skinning was done much faster, leaving two holes in its skin - in addition to the bullet hole. The wolf's fangs were nearly a centimeter shorter than the leader's, but the femur was not much smaller.

After Li Long put the wolf teeth and thigh stones into a small bag, he rubbed salt on the wolf skin and put it aside. He would send it to the purchasing station after going down the mountain and sell it for as much as he could.

As for the internal organs, only the heart, liver, and kidneys were taken. The stomach and intestines were thrown away and placed next to the wolf head platform. A bucket of water was poured on it. I guess no animals would dare to come over tonight, right?
Li Long washed the blood off his hands at the spring, then carried a bucket of water back to the wooden house and began to wipe the bloodstains on the floor with a rag.

After cleaning, he swept the ash with a broom. Some of the water in the pot was used to wash the internal organs just now. Now Li Long took the remaining half pot of water down and put a shovel of coal foam into the stove. After suppressing the fire, he put the two wolf heads in the small room, then returned to the big room, locked the door, blew out the oil lamp, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

I was tired after working for most of the night and fell asleep without any dreams. When I woke up, sunlight was shining through the plastic paper on the window. The sun was already very high in the sky.

Li Long rubbed his face and felt that the back pain he had felt when he went to bed last night had disappeared. The only feeling he had now was hunger.

The fire was still burning, but the cabin was still a little chilly. After all, the warmth retention was not as good as that of later houses with added insulation. He got up, put on his coat, and opened the door. The dazzling sunlight made Li Long squint his eyes, and it took him a while to adjust.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, it was past eleven o'clock, and he should have slept for seven or eight hours. Li Long looked over there... Huh?

The wolf head was still there on the Wolf Head Platform, but a lot of the wolf's intestines and stomachs that I had piled there last night were missing!
Li Long hurriedly turned around and went into the house to get his gun, then ran over and stopped about five or six meters away from the Langtoutai.

Not only the intestines and stomach were missing, but even a small piece of the wolf head on the wolf head stand was bitten off - probably because it was too frozen, so the guy who was about to bite finally gave up.

What on earth is this?
The reason why Li Long stopped so far away was to observe the claw marks around him.

In addition to Li Long's footprints, there are five plum blossom prints around Langtoutai, which are the most common. There are several kinds of large and small ones, including those of the two wolves, those of the fox, and another one - smaller than the wolf and larger than the fox.

What is this? Has my cabin attracted prey recently?

Li Long looked carefully at the claw marks on the snow, but couldn't guess. He was not an experienced hunter, so he couldn't analyze the species by the claw marks.

All we can see is that this guy not only ate a lot of internal organs here - there was unfinished food leaking out of his stomach nearby, and he also dragged away some of his intestines. Was he taking it back to store food or to feed his cubs?
Li Long could see traces of dragging along the way, but he did not chase after it immediately. Instead, he turned back to the wooden house and started to make food for himself.

With something on his mind, Li Long just baked a steamed bun under the stove, and then took out two pieces of red tofu and put them on a plate. The water on the stove was boiling, and Li Long looked around the small room, but couldn't find any eggs. He originally wanted to make some egg tea, but then he thought, forget it, just make do with one bite today, and go see what took the wolf's internal organs away first.

It shouldn’t be that stupid fox—that guy probably doesn’t dare to come over.

After the steamed buns were heated, Li Long peeled off the browned shell and ate it first. Then he quickly ate the filling inside with red tofu and drank a few sips of water. Then he put a piece of coal in the stove and pressed more coal. Then he put on his bag, carried his gun and wore a leather hat and went out.

The thing dragged its intestines forward, and where it left its traces, something that had occasionally leaked out of the intestines would leak out - although it was frozen hard, it had also become brittle, and this thing must have been bitten before eating, so there were some crumbs.

It makes it convenient for Li Long to chase after him.

This thing can run quite fast. Li Long chased it for more than two kilometers until he reached a pine forest. The snow was thin, so the tracks were shallow, so Li Long walked even slower.

The ancients said that one should not enter the forest. They said that in ancient times there were often robbers and the like in the forest. Of course, they also meant that there were dangerous animals such as big insects in the forest.

There were tigers in the ancient Tianshan Mountains, but they were said to have been wiped out in the 1920s. The Xinjiang tigers that were discovered and recorded in large numbers by foreign cultural relics robbers at the time mainly lived in the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang. Of course, the main reason was that these cultural relics dealers shamelessly recorded their theft of a large number of ancient relics such as the ancient city of Loulan, and also recorded the human geography and biological conditions of southern Xinjiang at that time.

Li Long naturally knew that it was impossible for a tiger to take away the intestines, but any carnivore in the forest should not be underestimated. If you encounter a fierce one, it might leave you half crippled.

After passing through the sparse pine forest and a bush, Li Long saw a pile of rocks. The claw marks ended here. There was no animal in the pile of rocks, or Li Long couldn't see clearly where the creature was hiding.

He held his gun and looked at the pile of rocks vigilantly. The snow in the cracks of the rocks was trampled, indicating that animals often appeared here. The rocks were high and low, and some were quite sharp. Li Long guessed that there should be caves inside where he could hide.

He walked a few steps inside with the gun in hand. It was difficult to step here among the pile of rocks. Just as he raised his foot to avoid a stone, a creature as big as a mongrel suddenly jumped out from the side. It rushed to the front and right about five or six meters away and bared its teeth at Li Long!
Lynx!

Li Long looked at the animal with golden hair and distinctive ears, and was surprised and happy at the same time, then he raised his gun and shot!

The lynx seemed to know the power of the gun. When Li Long raised his hand to hold the gun, the lynx turned around, jumped off the stone, and ran into the crevice. Li Long's shot missed. He only saw the golden tail shaking in the crevice, and then it disappeared!

How could Li Long let the thing in front of him run away? He hurriedly chased forward with his gun in hand. However, the pile of stones in front made it even more difficult to walk. It was hard to find a place to step on, and those stones had very sharp corners, making it impossible to stand on them. This put Li Long in a dilemma.

He finally walked to the crevice where the lynx had just escaped, but found that there was nothing here at all.

He disappeared long ago.

Looking at this pile of rocks that was five or six hundred meters in radius, Li Long was in a dilemma. Should he chase them or not?

Since he was here, Li Long still chased in. He was more cautious holding the gun. Xia Tian had a big cut on his arm caused by this guy's claws, so he thought it was better to be careful.

But it's really hard to find it in this pile of rocks! (End of this chapter)
