Dashan Makes a Living 1984

As a half mountain patrol dog, Aying's strength is not in carrying objects.

It's like making a thousand-mile horse-drawn cart, it is not even as good as a mule, but if you let it run, ten mules can't keep up with the speed of a thousand-mile horse.

One person and two dogs walked about two or three miles, and there was still half the distance to the station.

By this time it was completely dark.

Wang Tianxiao's hands were a little sore, and there happened to be a stone next to him, so he sat down on it and prepared to rest for a while.

Dafeng's weight is not too heavy, it is estimated to be more than 30 kilograms. For Wang Tianxiao's strong body, it is no problem to hold a little distance.

But I can't bear to travel long distances.

Not to mention hugging a dog, even if you raise your hands flat with empty hands, it will become very tiring for a period of time.

Judging by Gale's appearance, he is recovering well, and the vitality in his eyes is a bit more vigorous, and he doesn't look like he was full of grievances when he was injured in the afternoon.

A ten minute break should be fine.

The big stone was icy cold, and when he sat on it, a gust of cold air rushed from his buttocks to his whole body. When he jerked up, his nose became itchy, and he couldn't help but sneezed twice.

What's going on, is this someone talking about me?

He snickered.

Ten minutes later, he continued on his way.

After the rest, his physical strength recovered to a great extent, and his walking became much easier. In less than 20 minutes, he returned to the station.

On the mountain ridge, I found that the situation was a little bit wrong.

It was already late, but Brother Wu Wenhua was guarding the mountain pass anxiously. Even Liu Yuan squatted on the threshold to smoke, instead of staying in his room and drinking wine with soybeans.

Wu Wenhua's daughter-in-law Mi Xiaohong and Wu Qiancai's partner Shi Huanhuan also stood under the eaves and looked at this side.

Seeing Wang Tianxiao coming back, Er Wu rushed forward to help him take off the dog and the pork leg first.

"What happened to the wind?" Wu Wenhua asked distressedly.

"I was poked by a pig's egg." Wang Tianxiao gently put the dog on the big rock first, stroked its head, saw the worried faces of the people, and asked, "What's wrong, where are Tiancheng and the others?"

"They haven't come back yet, boss, aren't you together?"

Wu Wenhua was relatively more anxious. He glanced at his daughter-in-law Mi Xiaohong and his sister-in-law Mi Xiaoqing, but he was brought here. If something went wrong, how would he explain it to his mother-in-law and her parents?

When Wang Tianxiao heard this, he cried out inwardly.

He thought Wang Tiancheng and the others had come back long ago.

When they went to the mountains, they just walked around the cage, which took less than two hours to complete. The three of them brought a dog, and Wang Tiancheng was carrying an old-fashioned gun, so it stands to reason that there would be no problem.

Is there still something wrong? !

It shouldn't be.

Before parting, I specifically told them not to look at the three outer cages, but to walk on the inside, as the chance of encountering wild animals was almost zero.

Even if some wild animal with no eyes came in, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to confront three people, a dog, and a gun head-on.

Unless you meet a pack of wolves or jackals.

But these guys will not come to Yangziling East Peak in groups.

He turned around to look at the vast mountain, thought for a while, then turned to Liu Yuan and said, "Uncle Liu, Dafeng's rib is broken, will you help him fix it?"

Wang Tianxiao was also in a hurry to go to the doctor. He saw Liu Yuan and thought that maybe such an old hunter could also deal with the hunting dog's injury.

Liu Yuan knocked the smoke pot on the stone a few times, gently lifted Dafeng's leg, touched his ribs, nodded and said: "Three ribs are broken, I can try to fix it, this wound can't be treated only like this, Got stitches."

"Then...you can sew it." Wang Tianxiao asked anxiously.

Liu Yuan hesitated, then nodded, "I'll try."

"Please, Uncle Liu."

Wang Tianxiao said gratefully, turned around and called Ah Ying, and was about to enter the mountain again.

"Boss, let's go with you." Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai followed a few steps forward.

"No need," Wang Tianxiao shook his head, "The situation in the mountains at night is more complicated, and you won't be able to help you if you go in. I will protect you at critical moments. How about this, you just take care of a few pig legs."

Seeing what Wang Tianxiao said, Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai couldn't continue to insist. Over there, Mi Xiaohong held her sister-in-law's hand worriedly. Although she didn't speak, her actions had already shown her full state of mind.

There are wild beasts in and out of the mountains, which is something that people in the nearby villages are familiar with.

In almost every village, people are taken away or bitten by wild beasts in the mountains every year, especially children and vulnerable women, who are more likely to become prey.

Thinking that something might happen to her sister, Mi Xiaohong's legs became weak.

Without further ado, Wang Tianxiao didn't have time to go home and talk to his wife, took the flashlight in Wu Wenhua's hand, turned around and set foot on the night-shrouded mountain again.

"Boss, you have to be careful."

"The mountain road is too dark, you have to watch your step."

Wang Tianxiao waved back, without looking back.

There is a taste of being alone in the mighty Tiger Mountain.

Wu Wenhua and Mi Xiaohong were worried, but how could he not be worried? His younger brother and brother-in-law were also not back.

It's just that he doesn't want to show the slightest nervousness in front of people. If he is all nervous, everyone will be even more nervous, and the atmosphere will be difficult to maintain.

Therefore, he didn't walk fast in front of people, but once he got out of everyone's sight, he started to run fast.

Ah Ying followed her step by step, not losing the slightest bit.

As he ran, he thought about it.

It stands to reason that if a few people want to come back, they will definitely return along the mountain road in the east, and it is almost an elliptical trajectory from west to east.

Then if he searched backwards, he should be able to find the three of them faster, if the three of them had indeed turned around the eastern half of the ellipse.

If they didn't, the consequences would be quite serious. It proved that they were directly affected by some kind of accident and delayed their return trip not long after they were separated from themselves.

The night wind was very cold, Wang Tianxiao walked back in a hurry just now, and didn't even add a sweater.

He is still naked now, wearing a coat outside, and he can't hold back the wind at all.

It's okay to walk slowly, but when he starts to run, the wind blows in, and he is no different from running with his butt naked.

The hand with the gun on his back gradually became stiff, so he had no choice but to hold the gun in another hand, warming his spare hand close to his body for a while, so that he wouldn't be unable to grasp the gun for a while.

Fortunately, it is the tenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon in the sky is okay. He can use the moonlight to travel at night, or rely on the battery power of the flashlight, which may not last long.

"Srustling!"

Stepping on fallen leaves and haystacks, Wang Tianxiao came to the first cage on the east side.

A little hare was shivering in the cold, and it seemed that it was about to freeze. If it was not taken away, it would definitely not survive the night.

But Wang Tianxiao didn't have time to deal with it.

It seemed that the three of them did not come to this place.

He looked ahead and continued on his search.

Along the way, he passed six cages successively, none of which showed signs of being opened. When he reached the seventh cage, he suddenly found that the mouth of the cage was actually open.

It was naturally empty inside.

The appearance of the cage is not damaged, which means that no wild animal forcibly broke it open, it must be moved by humans.

And these cages have been covered up to a certain extent. If they don't know where the cages are placed, it is really not easy for outsiders to find out.

It must have been opened by the three of them.

Wang Tianxiao secretly speculated.

He squatted down, turned on the flashlight, and carefully observed the footprints around the cage. Among a pair of messy footprints, he found some special footprints.
