Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 62: Xiazhutun's Request for Help
Thinking of this, Dai Song pulled up the pig's ear in his hand.

The little flower mushroom had only the pig ear in his eyes from the beginning to the end. Now he saw it suddenly rise.
He actually jumped up, bit it in mid-air and kept turning his head.

"Good dog!"

Dai Song gave constant verbal praise while patting the mushroom's head and torso.

This is a form of desensitization training, intended to prevent the hound from letting go at the slightest "disturbance" during the biting process.

As a dog with pliers, I am most afraid of being disturbed and letting go of my mouth at a critical moment.
At the very least, it will result in the death or injury of companions, and at worst, it will implicate the hunter.

The little flower mushroom was now holding the pig's ear with its four legs off the ground, but no matter how Dai Song slapped it, it refused to let go.

"Dad~ Huadu doesn't wear plain clothes~"

Xiao Yingying felt a little distressed, her grape-like eyes were full of worry. She hugged Dai Song's calf and shook it as if begging.

"It's okay, Yingying. The little flower mushroom is great! It can still hold on!"

Although Dai Song said this, he still slowly lowered the height so that the little mushroom's hind legs could touch the ground.

Yingying was immediately happy. She smiled and stretched out her little hand, praising it in a baby voice, "Hua Du is so cute~" while gently stroking the back of its head.

Inspired by the little girl, the little flower mushroom wagged its tail and tore even harder. As Dai Song pulled and released deliberately, it also learned the technique of pulling.

"Good dog~good dog~!"

Dai Song said this and reached out to flick the hook of the small flower mushroom.

The little flower mushroom whimpered and immediately let go of the pig ear in its mouth. It then raised one of its front paws and tilted its head to look at Dai Song.

Good man, does it mean that he listened to the order after just one sentence?

Many people believe that it is not difficult for dogs to understand human language. They just analyze the tone and intonation and observe the words and expressions, just like analyzing the emotions contained in barking.

But Dai Song doesn't think so. If it's just a simple analysis of emotions, how do we explain those dogs that can understand long conversations?

Dai Song tried to tease the little flower mushroom again. This time, he did not "manually" stop the flower mushroom from biting. Instead, he just shouted "Spill!"

Huagu immediately loosened his grip and took two steps back, then raised one of his front paws again, tilted his head, and gave an expression that said, "Is that so?"

"Hey! Good dog! So smart!! Yingying, do you often talk to Huagu~"

When Xiao Yingying heard Dai Song praising Xiao Huagu, she felt happier than if he had praised her directly. She shook her head shyly, took out the tin frog from her pocket and held it in her palm.
"Huadu is good~ Yingying let it find Frog~"

"Little Flower Mushroom can find things?" Dai Song's eyes lit up. Wow, it learned the skill of tracking just by playing at home!

"Then Dad will test Little Flower Mushroom. Can you take Little Flower Mushroom into the room first?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Yingying hugged Xiao Huagu's neck obediently, and the two little ones trotted into the side room.

Xiao Yingying poked her head out and said sweetly,
"Is Dad okay?"

"Not yet, wait a minute~"

Dai Song had just hidden the pig ears under the small bed in the main room, so he had to go to the chicken coop outside to grab some grass to cover up the smell of the wild boar ears.

After finishing all this, Dai Song went to the side room.

Before releasing the little flower mushroom, there is still one step left, and that is to confirm the target.

Only when the dog knows the target will it go looking for it, otherwise it will just wander around aimlessly if let out.

Dai Song asked Xiao Yingying to use her pig ears to make circles in front of Huagu's nose, and when it was almost time, he carried the dog out of the house.

At first, the flower mushroom was quite confused, but when it saw Dai Song's hands drawing circles in the air again and again, it seemed to understand. It sniffed, lowered its head and started searching around the house.

"It's fragrant if you bow your head."

Dai Song was a little disappointed.

The so-called scent refers to the smell of prey, and lowering the head refers to the way hounds smell the scent.

There are two ways to smell a scent: raising the head and lowering the head. As the name suggests, a dog that raises its head to smell a scent can identify the direction of its prey by raising its head and sniffing.

A dog that lowers its head to smell needs to look everywhere for things that its prey has scratched, and rely on the remaining scent points to find its prey step by step along the path it has passed.

It is not as efficient as the upward-looking incense. When the weather changes, the scent will be diluted by rain and snow and will be useless in an instant.

However, when Xiao Huagu successfully found the pig's ear hidden under the bed, he still nodded and smiled;
Just go with the head-down incense, it seems to work quite well so far, and you can find it quickly even if the scent is covered up.

And, if all else fails, there’s always Erhan as the finale.

A bear's sense of smell is more than ten times that of a dog, and it is also known for its endurance.

Although he cannot outrun a dog in short-distance bursts, Erhan is definitely better than Huagu in medium and long-distance running.

At worst, Erhan will be responsible for finding the prey, and Huagu will be responsible for chasing it.
After Huagu has captured the prey, either he, Erhan, or Xiaoshubao can finish off the prey.

Dai Song clenched his fist and clapped his hands, expressing his satisfaction with the plan.

Just ask yourself, what could be more exciting for a hunter than to personally build a powerful hunting gang?
Yingying saw the little flower mushroom find the pig's ear and jumped up excitedly, circling around Dai Song like a butterfly.

"Dad~ Hua Du Ni is so awesome!"

Jiang Weiqun was also attracted by the little girl's excited shouting.

She had seen the father and daughter messing around with the little flower dog in the house before, and she wanted to see what Dai Song was doing next.

Jiang Weiqun suddenly felt gloomy just by looking at the chicken droppings and weeds scattered all over the room.

She held onto the door frame, silently stepped on the heel of her shoe, and suddenly swung her shoe towards Dai Song...

After cleaning up the main room, Dai Song lay down on the kang with a "tired" look on his face.

I don't know what the little girl is doing. She is lying in the quilt like a cricket, with her little head held high, making the quilt look like a small tent.
When she heard Dai Song getting on the kang, she immediately jumped out of her bed.
"Dad, look at the new clothes."

Dai Song's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Yingying wearing a cute yellow cotton jacket and a pair of soft blue cotton pants. The jacket was made to a larger size, but the hem and sleeves were tucked in, so it didn't look out of place on Xiao Yingying.

The daughter obviously liked the clothes very much. She ran around Dai Song several times, and then posed in a series of poses in front of him. After she had posed enough, she reluctantly took off the clothes, folded the clothes and put them at the end of the kang like her mother, and begged Dai Song to tell her a monkey story before bed.

After coaxing his daughter to sleep, Dai Song thought that he could save himself the trouble of pulling at her clothes last night and go to bed early.

As a result, I saw Nan Chunwan still sitting at the head of the bed.

"What's the matter, Xiaowan? Why are you sewing clothes again?"

"This is for our parents. Their clothes have been worn for a long time and are frayed in many places."

Dai Song scratched his head. "Don't they have coats? My dad wears his coat every day. What does he do? And after finishing theirs, there won't be more to come, right?"

Nan Chunwan nodded, her voice was thin and soft, "And yours~"

Dai Song was overjoyed, but he still turned off the lights in a serious manner.
"Sleep! How can I give myself so much work every day? Really!"

……

Feeling the warmth of his wife in his arms, Dai Song closed his eyes.

After a heated conversation, he learned that his wife not only planned to make a set of clothes for him and his parents-in-law, but also a set for her own parents. She would only consider herself if there was any left over.

You know, adult clothes are much harder to make than children's clothes. Making five sets of cotton-padded clothes is a big project.

In this way, regardless of whether there is hope in the end, going to the town to find Jiang Zhanhua must be put on the agenda...

In the next two days, Dai Song and Xie Shubao went up the mountain to carry the club as usual. Perhaps the smell of wild boar's blood drove away the surrounding animals or something else, but not even the sound of birds could be heard near the club's nest.

However, this also saved Dai Song and Xie Shubao a lot of trouble.

Without any interference, and with their skills becoming more and more skilled, they cleared a small half of the area of ​​the club's nest in two days and dug out ten clubs.

But they were smaller than the previous ones. The largest one was just an old hammer weighing less than two taels, and there was not even a spiritual one.

When Xie Shubao saw it, he was even more certain that his thing was the ancestor of the club and that it should belong to Dai Song as agreed before.

Dai Song laughed it off. He didn't care if he took advantage of anyone except the little schoolbag.

After counting the number of mallets, it was almost enough to fill a bag. After the mallets were dried in the next two days, he could contact Jiang Zhanhua to send them to the town. However, he would have to think of a way in advance by then so that it would be convenient to share the profits fairly with Xiao Shubao.

In addition, he estimated that Bangchui would be able to raise Bangchui peacefully in the next few days, so he told Erhan not to wait at Bangchui's nest, but to rest in the tree hole, and then go find it to chase the mountain when Bangchui was almost raised.

Just early on the third day, when Dai Song was about to go out to look for Xie Shubao, he suddenly heard the sound of a tractor outside the yard.

The person who came was old man Xie who sent Dai Song back to the village last time.

As soon as he saw Dai Song, he hurriedly shook Dai Song's hand.

"Dai Pao! You must agree to our request this time!"

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Dai Song grinned, looking confused.

"There are black bears outside our village again!!"

"Ah?" Dai Song opened his mouth wide, "No, sir, do you live in the black bear's nest in Xiazhu Village?

I have been in the mountains for so long, and the only black bear I have seen was the one chased to the 78th Forestry Squad by your Tun Li Pao. Why are there so many black bears over there?"

"Hey!" Old Man Xie pulled Dai Song towards the tractor, "Isn't it because of the other hunters in our village? This time it was because they went to the mountain to kill the black bear, but failed, so they caused trouble!"

"What? What kind of trouble can killing Hei Xia Zi Cang cause?!" Dai Song was also curious.

Killing the black bear in the warehouse refers to killing the black bear in hibernation.

Hibernating bears are always in a half-asleep and half-awake state, and will come out of their caves if they sense danger.

Just imagine, if you are quarreled with or even beaten in the middle of winter and have to get out of your warm bed, would you be in a good mood?

But killing the black bear in the cave is a "risky move". You have to kill it the moment the black bear comes out of the cave. If you make the slightest mistake in the process, you will die in the attempt.

In short, if it succeeds, it succeeds. If it fails, the whole village will celebrate. How can there be any talk of causing trouble?
"Dai Pao, let me first tell you who those hunters are and what the current situation is. I think you will understand after listening."

"hold head high."

"In Xiazhu Village, besides Li Pao, there is another family that is all hunters. The father is Lin Jixiong, and he has three sons. The eldest and second sons have been hunting with him for many years. This year, his third son turned 17, and so he also..."

Listening to Old Man Xie's words, Dai Song recalled the scene in Li Pao's yard.

It seemed that there were indeed a few people standing behind the villagers who came to watch, and they all looked like hunters.
It's just that their looks at that time were not very friendly.

"... I don't know exactly what happened to them on the mountain. Anyway, Lao Lin was carried back by his second and third sons. His entire back was torn open. You didn't see it. The white spine was exposed. I don't know if the piece of flesh can grow back after it is sewn back.

The two sons did not have any injuries on their bodies, but when they were asked where the eldest son was, they were speechless.

If no one comes back, then he must be gone!"

"This……"

Dai Song wanted to say that it was normal, after all, killing Hei Xia Zi Cang was like this, and not being wiped out was already pretty good, but he held the words back and changed them to,
"That is to say, they did run back, but they also led the black bear out of the village, and it became a walking camel?"

"Ah!" Old man Xie stamped his feet.

"Yeah! Damn it! Those little bastards don't run faster!

The black bear chased him out of the village, and he howled outside the village every night!
The children in the village were so scared that they peed on their beds every day, and no one dared to go out during the day. Who could bear this? "

"You are very brave! You came here alone on a tractor."

"Not bad at all!" Old Man Xie beamed with joy. "As the old saying goes, if you are close to a dragon, you will be more powerful. What kind of relationship do I have with Li Pao? How can I be afraid of Hei Xia Zi?
The village chief specifically told me to come find Dai Pao as soon as possible. If you can help our village beat that black bear, our village chief will reward you handsomely! "
