Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

"We have two dogs at home, one is a pastoral dog, and the other is also a pastoral dog!"

Xiang Yunduan came to the yard, looked at the doghouse made of rotten wooden boards in the corner, and said something quickly in his heart.

Nowadays, unlike in later generations, the streets are full of foreign dogs, or all kinds of skewers. It is not easy to find a pure pastoral dog. Most of them are sold into dog meat restaurants and served on the dining table.

"Hua Niu, Hu Zi, let's go up the mountain!"

Xiang Yunduan untied the dog leash and took off the collar around his neck.

Both dogs are Taihang dogs, a type of northern pastoral dog. As the name suggests, they were domesticated by our ancestors who lived near the Taihang Mountains in ancient times.

Hua Niu is a female dog, about three years old, and her body is white, black and yellow, hence her name.

Huzi is a male dog, about two years old. He is all black without a single hair. He is tall and powerful. He looks even bigger than Hua Niu. He is over 70 centimeters tall at the shoulders and weighs about 70 kilograms. .

To be honest, Huzi is just as talented as Xiang Yunduan.

Nowadays, not in future generations, what dogs eat is really clear soup with little water, let alone meat. If they can eat some grains every day, it is already a high-quality life.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy for a tiger to grow to such a size.

"It's bad. Isn't this guy also a short-lived ghost?"

Xiang Yunduan touched Huzi's dog's head and murmured in his heart.

"Woooooo~"

Huzi didn't know what Xiang Yunduan was thinking. He was excited at the moment, his tail wagging and flying up.

This guy is very shrewd and knows that if he goes up the mountain to catch prey, he can also get meat to eat, so he is extremely excited every time he goes up the mountain.

"Brother, let me go with you!"

Xiang Yunlong also came out of the house. He already knew what was discussed last night, but he knew the situation at home better. Therefore, he was also very worried about whether this job could be done.

Perhaps he is not very clear about the difference between farmers and workers now, but when workers can enter the city, it will be very attractive to him.

"You haven't been into the mountains since you were a child. Where are you going? Stay at home and help your parents with more work. Don't worry. Since I can tell you this, I have a certain degree of confidence. Even if you don't have money, you can still do it. There are other ways!”

Xiang Yunduan comforted his younger brother for a few words, and then packed up the things he needed to go up the mountain, such as ropes, matches, knives, bags, slingshots, etc. They were all ready. He also had to bring the steamed buns for lunch.

In fact, the reason why I didn't let my younger brother follow me up the mountain was mainly because I was afraid that my younger brother would find out about the space issue. Although we were a family, there were some things that couldn't be explained at all. Not even my younger brother, I wouldn't tell my parents.

"Let's go!"

Xiang Yunduan shouted, and Hua Niu and Hu Zi jumped out.

From the perspective of hunting dogs, the two dogs can only be regarded as novices. The Xiang family also had old hunting dogs in the past, but "pots will inevitably be broken at the edge of the well, and generals will inevitably die on the battlefield." The old hunting dogs they originally raised went into the mountains a few years ago. , was carried away by the leopard.

Huzi and Hua Niu were both bought at the market in Sanchakou Township, and were personally selected by Xiang Yun Duan. It has to be said that Xiang Yun Duan was also good at Xiang Gou. Whether it was Hua Niu or Hu Zi, they both It is an excellent seedling.

……

Sijiucheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Jundu Mountain in the north and northeast belongs to the Yanshan Mountains, and Xishan in the west belongs to the Taihang Mountains.

Liangjiazhuang is located in Meotou Valley in the west of the city. Naturally, Xiang Yunduan can't go hunting in Jundu Mountain instead of looking far away.

It's summer at this time, when the plants in the mountains are crazy and lush. As soon as people enter, they are immediately surrounded by darkness. If you look from a distance, the lush and undulating green waves are an excellent scenery, but in real life Being in it, looking at the surrounding trees and bushes, and hearing the chirping of insects and birds in your ears, will only make you feel your own insignificance, and even create infinite awe in your heart.

That is to say, Xiang Yunduan has the "Mountain Climbing" skill and is still at the bronze level, so he can appear calm enough.

The so-called "climbing the mountains" actually means making a living in the mountains, including hunting, gathering medicine, logging, etc., and of course, also including how to survive in the mountains, such as identifying directions, finding water sources, identifying animals and plants, etc.

"Wang Wang!"

"Ouch~"

Not long after entering the mountain, Hua Niu and Hu Zi started to scream.

Xiang Yunduan followed up and took a look. It turned out to be a frightened pheasant in the bushes. It flew up to the branch of a tree. The angry Huaniu and Huzi were squawking under the tree.

"Come down, you!"

Xiang Yunduan tightened the slingshot in his hand without taking a careful aim. He just relied on his feeling and shot out a shot, hitting the pheasant more than ten meters away.

"Cuckoo!"

The pheasant fell from the tree branch and was not completely dead. However, before it landed on the ground, the tiger jumped up and directly caught it in its mouth, and then brought it to Xiang Yunduan in a tumble.

"Crack!"

Xiang Yunduan gently twisted the chicken's neck, and then sent it into the space with a thought.

"Unfortunately, the pheasant is too small and has no luck!"

Xiang Yunduan shook his head and said to Huzi: "Go on, I'll give you a big meal at noon!"

Huzi seemed to be able to understand people's words, he screamed happily and attacked again.

Hunting is actually not easy.

In the past, we relied on bows and arrows, but when we encountered larger prey, it was very dangerous. Now, with guns, even difficult characters like wild boars and black bears have gradually lost their threat.

But that doesn’t mean hunting becomes easy when you have a gun in your hand.

In fact, the first problem that we have to face when hunting is not how to deal with the prey, but how to find the prey.

People are more like outsiders to the mountains and jungles, while those animals are their home in the mountains.

Animals do two things in the mountains: hide from enemies and find prey. The skill of hiding is the first and most powerful skill for any animal to master.

If it intentionally hides from you, it will be difficult for people to detect it.

Coupled with the terrain and environment in the mountains, even if prey is found, it is difficult for people to chase it.

At this time, the importance of hunting dogs became apparent.

Compared with finding prey, chasing prey, and stalking prey, actually fighting with prey is the least important skill of a hunting dog.

Whether a hunting dog is excellent or not depends first on whether it is strong in "showing off", not whether it is strong in fighting. The fighting dog is a fighting dog or a guard dog, not a hunting dog.

The so-called trail is actually the dog's ability to track prey.

Most of the animals in the mountains have various fishy odors on their bodies. As long as they pass by, this smell will definitely remain in the air and linger for a long time.

Dogs have very good noses and can smell this scent and track it down to find their prey.

The better the hunting dog, the stronger the dog will naturally be.

Of course, Nose Spirit only has the talent to become a hunting dog. Whether he can truly become an excellent hunting dog in the end depends on the hunter's training.

Dogs are just like people, their talents are just talents. If they are not trained according to their talents, they will just disappear in the end!
