My 1995 Small Farm - Vol 2 Chapter 413
Chapter 413 This beast is bold
Jackal, also known locally as jackal or jackal.
They are shaped like dogs, with wide heads, thin mouths like foxes, semi-circular ears, mostly reddish-brown fur, and thick tails that gradually turn black at the end.
Although this beast is smaller than a wolf, in terms of ferocity, the wolf is willing to bow down.
wolves are mostly female wolves.
As for the pack of jackals, male beasts dominate.
When the same number of wolves and jackals meet, the last one to retreat is often the wolves.
Sounds incredible.
That’s because people are not familiar with jackals.
This beast is extremely courageous.
Even fearless.
Using more to bully the less, relying on group advantages, they harass leopards, bears, and lynxes, drive them away, and forcibly **** food from their mouths.
It can be said that jackals are similar to African hyenas in temperament, there is no lower limit, they can do anything for food, and they often like to get something for nothing. They are very annoying beasts.
Even so, there are no tigers in the mountains, and there are no wild animals that can provoke a pack of jackals.
When Chen Ling and the others entered the mountain the year before last, they encountered a pack of jackals. They went to pick up meat after dawn, and they also picked up many dead jackals whose internal organs had been gutted.
That is the body left after their companions killed it, gutted it and ate it.
Jackals are cannibals.
No matter how fierce a wolf or tiger is, they will not eat their own kind.
You can see its ferocious side.
So Chen Ling found out that jackals were haunting them.
Immediately became vigilant.
This thing is bold on the one hand.
In addition, they are clever and cunning, they can play tricks on their prey, and test the prey’s reality.
Wang Lixian and Liu Guangli both reminded him that when a jackal appears in front of you, you should be careful.
This is what it wants you to see on purpose.
Actually, at this time, other jackals had already ambushed in secret.
When you are attracted by jackals in sight, other jackals will take advantage of your unpreparedness and attack you suddenly.
There is a sentence describing the cunning of wolves, which is called [The former wolf is sleeping to lure the enemy. 】
It is also very appropriate to describe jackals.
And they are only more cunning than wolves.
…
Sure enough, after Chen Ling and his two dogs spotted jackals in the distance, they instantly became alert.
The next second, Heiwa Xiaojin suddenly stared at two places from left to right, his eyes were sharp and cold, and he whimpered loudly.
Put your body on the ground, bend your waist and arch your back, ready to attack at any time.
These two places are not on the other side of the stream.
Instead, they are near them, one left and one right, one south and one north, all of which are places with tall and dense grass and messy shrubs.
These wild grasses in the mountains are all more than one meter high, which affects the sight.
Although Chen Ling couldn’t see what was going on inside, the reaction of the two dogs already explained everything.
“Grandma, in broad daylight, why are these jackals moving around, isn’t this the place of wolves…”
Chen Ling cursed in a low voice, told the two dogs not to move, took out a shotgun from the cave, and fired two shots at the two places.
Bang bang, bang bang—
After the sound of the gunshot, I saw the tall weed poles shaking in those two places, followed by a rustling sound accompanied by a sound like a human blowing an iron whistle.
The cry is strange, short and sharp.
At the same time, thieves in Kusama peeped out, stomping on the bushes to make a “click, click” sound, making a whistle-like sound while stepping on it, making the movement even bigger.
If this is at night, it is enough to make people shudder.
Jackal is very brave.
Ordinary beasts are extremely afraid of gunshots, and will run away when they hear gunshots.
They are not afraid.
Chen Ling fired two shots in two places, but they still didn’t panic.
And still lingering here.
Harass one person and two dogs in two places on the left and right.
In this way, one person and two dogs can look to the left but not the right, and then wait for an opportunity to attack.
Jackals are best at teasing and harassing enemies.
This is the trick they deliberately used.
“Wow, woof woof!”
The behavior of these jackals completely enraged Hei Wa and his wife.
The two dogs are rarely rivals in the mountains, and they have their own arrogance, how could they bear this kind of provocation.
Dang even roared fiercely, wanting to rush towards those two places and teach them a lesson.
“Don’t pay attention to them, they dare to play tricks, but we don’t let them do what they want, go, go to the opposite hillside, and clean up the one who is alone.”
Chen Ling glanced at the two bushes, waved to the two dogs, took the lead in striding across the stream, and killed them on the opposite hillside.
When the two dogs heard the order, they screamed excitedly, jumped out suddenly, left Chen Ling behind in two or three steps, and rushed fiercely at the lone jackal on the hillside.
One man and two dogs came over suddenly, startling the jackal.
When jackals were said to be courageous, it was when they had an absolute numerical advantage. At that time, they were especially daring, facing the big lynxes and tigers that were killers of wolves, and they were not afraid at all.
Even dared to lure the tiger to chase after it, and the remaining jackals went to steal the tiger’s food.
But now it was alone, facing Chen Ling with one person and two dogs, it was extremely disadvantaged, and immediately panicked.
At this time, it was too late for it to escape. Xiao Jin was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was close in front of him. He opened his ferocious sharp mouth, showing his white teeth, and rushed towards it.
So, as soon as the jackal turned around and was about to run, it was caught up by Xiao Jin before it could run.
In extreme panic, the jackal let out a hoarse cry, and at the same time, his body instinctively reacted to avoid it. Like a light cat, he bowed his back and jumped three or four meters away .
This is the strength of jackals, they can cross ditches five or six meters wide.
Much stronger than wolves.
But Xiao Jin is not easy to get along with.
It is not only faster than Heiwa, but also has a strong jumping ability. Earlier, when it was four or five months old, it could jump onto the wall and summon a group of dogs on a rainy night.
In the mountains, it is even more like a fish in water. With the speed of sprinting from afar, its feet paused, and then it jumped up suddenly, stepped on the tree trunk next to it, and jumped directly in front of this jackal with a vertical leap. , instantly threw him to the ground, and bit the back of his neck.
It’s like a martial arts master who knows how to do light work, chasing down the fleeing enemy, kicking his feet on the tree, using his strength to turn over in mid-air, and falling directly in front of the enemy, when the enemy reacted, there was a long sword across between the neck.
That’s quite chic.
Just one word, handsome.
Compared with the popular horse dog in later generations, it is more flexible and freehand.
All this happened between lightning and flint.
When the jackals on the hillside were restrained by Xiao Jin, the jackals in the two bushes on the other side of the stream had just reacted, and hurried out with their thick tails raised, one after another, there were eight of them. Add the one on the mountain, that’s nine.
They made a strange cry of “clucking” like a chicken crowing, which was more panicked than the previous whistle.
With the temper of a jackal, he would not be so anxious when he had a numerical advantage.
Chen Ling was quite surprised, and shouted to Xiao Jin: “Xiao Jin save that jackal for life first, just teach it a lesson, and we will collect interest in autumn.”
As for Hei Wa, who was used to being robbed of the limelight by Xiao Jin, he just stood in front of Chen Ling, staring at the pack of jackals who surrounded him, and at the same time let out a long wolf-like howl.
The more Heiwa yelled, the more panicked the jackals became, and they kept making a panicky sound like a chicken crowing, “clack, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck!”
Originally, he wanted to attack Chen Ling and the others.
But just as they crossed the stream and were about to pounce on them, these jackals suddenly turned back halfway, left their companions on the hillside, turned around and ran away.
The jackals didn’t run very far.
There was a howl of wolves suddenly exploded in Chen Ling’s ears. The sound was extremely clear and loud, as if it was close at hand.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw big gray wolves on the hillside next door showing their figures and approaching quickly.
“It turns out that the wolf is here, no wonder the jackal is in such a panic.”
Chen Ling smiled. Jackals are so bullying and fearful of strength. They know that they only have nine members, while the pack of wolves has more than 20 members.
But soon, Chen Ling restrained his smile again.
Now there are not only wolves in the mountains, but also a pack of jackals.
This won’t work.
The threat to the village is a bit big.
I have to find a way to drive them back to the deep mountains and old forests.
“Come on, let them run away without a trace.” Chen Ling looked around, slapped his thigh, and had to give up temporarily.
Those jackals were slender and slender, and they looked not as strong as ordinary dogs, but they were very powerful and very fast, like a series of red phantoms, shuttled through the forest, and soon disappeared.
It can also cross a mountain stream five or six meters wide, walk on the edge of a cliff, and even jump onto the crown of a tree by taking advantage of the terrain…
He couldn’t catch up even with a dog.
The remaining jackal that was bitten by Xiao Jin was also very slippery, and stood up with a limp, trying to escape while Chen Ling was not paying attention.
was held down by Xiao Jin in time.
“According to the rules in the mountains, I originally wanted to let you go, but if I hadn’t been brave enough to pass by here with someone else, I would definitely have left my life here…”
“So, go to the cave and work as a coolie for me, lest you go back with injuries and be cannibalized by your own kind.”
“In this way, you still have to thank me.”
Chen Ling waved the struggling jackal into the cave.
A living jackal suddenly disappeared, and the wolves who came from the next mountain froze for a moment, looking at Chen Ling dumbfounded.
“Don’t know each other after a few days? Come here, I’ll take you to play.”
Chen Ling thought they had recognized the baby, so he waved at them enthusiastically.
…
Just like that, I took the two dogs and the wolves happily and recklessly in the mountains for half a day. After the sun went down, I went down the mountain slowly and went home.
Early the next morning, after Chen Ling got up, he was going to go to the brigade to say that there were jackals in the mountains, so that the villagers should not go deep into the forest if they had nothing to do recently.
Actually, it’s the busy farming season, and few people have the leisure time to go wandering in the mountains.
But the reminder still needs to be reminded.
By the way, I also need to find some people from the village to help pick apricots.
It’s time to pick apricots today.
Yesterday, Sun Yanhong also said that she would send a car over today.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in the village, more than one person knew that his family was going to pick apricots today.
They all said that they would go over to help after eating, so that he wouldn’t worry too much.
Many of these are people who have made money by taking fish fry from his family, or who have been introduced by him to buy souvenirs.
People think of this kind of love and want to help, but Chen Ling will not refuse.
While going to the brigade, Wang Wenchao of Er Maolu’s family also stopped him and told him that Li Hongqi and others who were recovering from their injuries in the village had recovered from their injuries, and they were going to find someone to go to the mountain again in the next two days.
He thought about it for himself, and felt that these people paid a lot of money, so he still wanted to follow this trip.
Help Chen Ling pick apricots today, and follow them into the mountains tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
When Chen Ling heard what he said, his face became serious, and he pulled him aside and said, “Xiao Chao, I advise you not to go this time, because there are not only wolves in the mountains, but also jackals, jackals Those things are much more vicious than wolves, and it’s the peak season for wild animals to give birth to cubs, and once you get into a hurry, you guys won’t be able to stand up with guns.”
