My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 311 Leopard Cave, go home

   "Uncle Han, I'll go out and get us some dry food tomorrow. By the way, I have to go home and check on the situation at home."

  After night fell, the expedition team, who had been exhausted for a day, sat around the bonfire to eat.

  Chen Ling nibbled on a "rougamo" and spoke.

  Today's dinner is steamed bread with meat, pheasant meat, wild duck meat, wild boar meat, all smoked, add whatever meat you want.

  The soup pot also stewed a pot of pheasant and mushrooms.

  There are a lot of prey in the mountains. Although big prey is not easy to deal with, there are guns and dogs, and even small prey is enough for a few of them to fill their stomachs.

   But now the steamed buns I brought are almost finished, and there are only a lot of dried noodles left. The dried noodles were specially bought by Han Ninggui's expedition team. This stuff is durable and easy to hold.

   is something you eat three times a day, and you can't stand it after a long time.

   This point, they had a deep understanding of the few days before they entered the mountain.

  Wang Lixian didn't say anything, he had noodles three times a day, and meat, which was very beautiful.

   But the young people in the expedition team can't do it. Last time I finished eating steamed buns and ate dried noodles for a week, and this time I saw that they were going to eat like this.

   Hearing Chen Ling's suggestion, he hurriedly agreed.

  Han Ninggui knew that Chen Ling's family had children and the children were still young, so he understood his feelings very well.

   said: "It's better to go back and have a look, tomorrow will be the third day, and your wife and children miss you too."

   said with a smile: "I came in a hurry the day before yesterday. I have to get us something delicious this time. It's better to buy more steamed cakes from the city. Steamed cakes with meat and vegetables will do. We are all greedy for that."

   Last year, the old man ate it at the steamed cake bar in Fenglei Town.

   There are also sold in this county, but there are fewer people buying them every day, and the taste will be worse than that in Fenglei Town.

   But it’s okay.

  Chen Ling responded with a full mouth and asked, "Uncle Han, how many days will it take you to observe this miasma this time?"

   "Well, about half a month."

   "What? Half a month, why is it so long?"

   "It won't be long, the main thing is to do a few more experiments."

  Han Ninggui smiled and said, "You guys have been in the mountains enough. If you feel homesick, you can take turns going home and leave a few people to help us with small things."

   But maybe everyone except Chen Ling will not listen to this. After all, stay for one more day and pay for one more day.

   In addition, you can hunt by the way, earn some extra money, and earn double the money.

   This kind of opportunity doesn’t come often, and it’s not much better than going outside to work.

   But what they didn't know was that Chen Ling came out of the mountain because of the drunkard's intention and not the wine.

  In the mountains for three days, he wanted to go home and have a look.

  The other is to go alone and track the leopard on the Eagle Claw Ridge.

  …

   The night was silent and passed peacefully.

  In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the forest, the whole mountain woke up.

  The sound of water is gurgling, and the birds are chirping.

   After simply having breakfast, Chen Ling took Heiwa and Erbald on their way back under the watchful eyes of everyone.

  Xiaojin left them as a warning.

  Otherwise, those other hounds are not as sensitive as Xiao Jin, and sometimes they only perceive danger when they are approaching.

   "Go, go to Eagle Claw Mountain first to find that leopard."

After    over a hill, Chen Ling carried a gun and a knife on his back, waved his hand in high spirits, turned the direction with the dog and the eagle, and rushed towards the Eagle Claw Ridge.

   "Black baby, start Nassau."

   As he walked, he took out a stone stained with the urine of the leopard in the cave and asked Heiwa to smell it.

  Although it is not the urine of the same leopard, this kind of search is fine for hunting dogs as long as they are of the same species.

   is like the stench of a fox, even if it is a different fox, but as soon as a person smells this fox odor, he knows whether a fox has lived in a certain hole.

The same is true for   Hound Nassau, but they can find farther and more accurately.

   Unlike humans, you don't know what the prey is until you smell it.

  I saw Heiwa smelling the stone, then raised his head and sniffed at the sky.

   This is called Li Sao.

   As the name suggests, it is to sort out the messy smells in the air in the mountains and find the target smell.

   After managing the show, you can carry out Nassau, which is to find a show.

   "Wang Wang~"

  Heiwa raised his head and sniffed for a while, then opened his mouth and called out twice, glanced at Chen Ling, and trotted forward.

   This is Nashang Sao.

   The harrier in the sky flapped its wings twice and flew forward.

   "Hope it goes well, as long as the leopard's territory is confirmed, it can be trapped."

  Chen Ling raised his head and glanced at it. It was not long after seven o'clock. He took half a day to catch the leopard, and the remaining half a day went home.

   Over the mountains and over the mountains, across the valleys and streams, Heiwa let go and ran, and Chen Ling followed behind.

   Finally, Heiwa stopped on the bank of the river below Eagle Claw Mountain.

  Leopard footprints were found here on the river bank.

  The leopard steps on the plum blossom.

   The footprints are plum-like, with five toes in front and four behind.

  Chen Ling can now be recognized at a glance.

   "This footprint is very fresh, and there are quite a few footprints on it. It seems that this leopard often comes here to drink water."

   Seeing Heiwa still sniffing on these footprints, he raised his head, and from time to time, he swung his nose to the other side of the river to sniff it twice, and barked.

  Chen Ling frowned again when he saw this: "What's wrong? It's not on Eagle Claw Ridge? Did it go across the river?"

  The leopard runs a long way and has a wide range of activities. It is a guy who loves to wander around.

   As the old saying goes, a leopard walks a hundred miles at night, and wild birds and beasts do not leave their mouths. They walk a hundred miles a night, chasing their prey along the mountains and forests, and they go very far.

   When the prey is less, change the place.

  Across the river from Eagle Claw Ridge is Mopan Mountain, where they escaped the rain last year in a cave on the mountain.

   At this time, there was only a cry from the sky. The second bald man came and went like the wind. He had already flown back from the opposite mountain, hovering above him and Heiwa's heads constantly, and kept calling.

The meaning of    is self-evident.

   "Good guy, it's really on the opposite mountain, it's too good to run."

  Chen Ling glanced at the leopard's footprints on the river bank. It was obvious that the footprints were here, but they actually ran to the other side earlier.

   Muttering in his mouth, Chen Ling looked at the fresh footprints on the ground, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

   "Could it be that it sensed that we were coming in advance, and it ran to the other side?"

  Thinking like this, he took Heiwa along the river and crossed the river at the narrow place in front of him.

  The water level dropped in late autumn, and the rivers in the mountains also lost several laps.

   After crossing the river easily, enter Mopan Mountain with the dog and eagle.

   After a while, Heiwa and Er Baldzi barked anxiously, and the dog barked Yingciao, which made Chen Ling's bad premonition come true.

  The leopard really heard the movement and ran away.

   In front of a cave on the mountainside, this leopard just got out of the cave with a deer in his mouth.

   This is not only to run, but also to take away food.

   They were still a long way from the leopard at this time, and they could only see the figure of the leopard coming out of the hole.

   Heiwa shouted "Wang Wang", like a black whirlwind, and pounced on the leopard.

  The two bald men in the sky also turned into an arrow from the string and fell sharply.

  The leopard was startled.

   This leopard is obviously not as fierce as the leopard in Dongtian. Perhaps it is not injured. Unlike the leopard in Dongtian, it cannot be stimulated.

  This leopard was very cautious. Chen Ling didn't shoot or shout to frighten it. It didn't know if it smelled the evil spirit and blood on Heiwa's body, so it was ready to flee early.

   Now when Heiwa and Erbald rushed towards it, the leopard was so frightened that he immediately dropped the deer in his mouth, jumped up, and jumped from the entrance of the cave to the tree.

   Let Heiwa and Erbald's attacks all fail.

After   , he jumped again, jumping from the tree to the steep mountain wall of Mopan Mountain. Each jump was more than three meters shorter, and about five meters long.

  Under the sun, the leopard was covered in golden-yellow fur with black spots the size of a copper coin. With every vertical leap on the mountain wall, the streamlined body seemed to be shining, shining and very beautiful.

   Until I jumped on the high cliff, I could no longer see the leopard.

  Chen Ling opened his mouth and slowly closed it.

   "Grandma's, a leopard with a tail jumps high and leaps far. No wonder the leopard is running on the rocks. Today we can be considered as seeing it."

   "Well, also, a leopard with a tail is prettier than a tailless leopard, bigger and better-looking than a cat."

   tilted his head and muttered to himself.

   I felt more and more regrettable. I chased after him so far in the morning. I didn't pay attention when I didn't expect it. The movement was so loud that the leopard noticed it in advance and chased him away.

   couldn't help sighing: "I don't know where to go after this, it's hard to find."

   The leopard's territory is quietly discovered, and you can also try to trap it, but it will not work after it is alerted. It will frequently change territory in a short period of time to ensure its own safety.

   Then he suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, and walked towards the dog and eagle who were also unwilling to whistle in place outside the cave.

   went to the entrance of the cave, only to find that the deer left by the leopard was not a deer, but a red deer.

   is also a chamois with fiery red fur that can bark.

   "It seems that there are a lot of these things in the mountains recently. How many times have I found them in the past few months."

  Unfortunately, the leopard was frightened away by such a good deer, before he could enjoy it or take a bite.

   The hard-earned prey is thrown away without a bite, and it hurts even if it is replaced by oneself.

   It's like losing a hundred dollars.

   grabbed a leg of the red deer, picked it up and retracted the cave, Chen Ling glanced at the cave again, and was surprised to find that the cave seemed to have lived in a leopard for a long time.

   "Unfortunately, I don't know whether the leopard is male or female. If I leave a litter of little leopards, then why would I try to catch it."

  Thinking like this, his heart moved, he asked Heiwa to take out the leopard fur left in the cave, and dug out two leopard feces buried under the mountain forest.

   Together they took back the cave and threw them into the woods of the male leopard.

After    was thrown in, he waved his hands to bury these things under the soil, in a shallow layer.

   The whole process was completed by his mind control over Dongtian, without making a sound, and the male leopard with the docked tail didn't notice it at all.

  Chen Ling secretly observed its reaction while walking down the mountain.

   When it finally found out that there was the smell of a strange leopard in its territory, Chen Ling's reaction was very satisfying.

   "Well, it seems to be a female leopard. If it is a male leopard, it will definitely be upset."

   "Heiwa, remember the smell of this female leopard. If we can't catch it this time, we'll come back next year. We'll keep an eye on it."

   patted Heiwa's big head, stopped any longer, and hurried all the way home.

   Having a baby is just a different feeling. After only two days in the mountains, I feel homesick.

  I miss my daughter-in-law and my son.

  The main purpose of his entering the mountain was to catch the leopard. He failed to catch the leopard, and even let the leopard run away. Naturally, it is better to stay at home with his wife and children.
