"No, I just chased a wild boar cub and it was snatched away by a leopard."

The one who answered was the young man Li Xuewu saw just now. If you look carefully at this moment, he looks like a 18-nine-year-old man. He is wearing patchwork clothes and a dog-skin hat that is somewhat broken and hairless. His hand is still soothing the dog that keeps roaring. .

Li Xuewu glanced at him. This young man had obviously played and gotten along with his dog all year round. After petting him twice, the dog stopped barking.

Li Xuewu just saw a light yellow shadow, but he didn't see clearly what it was. There were so many people in front of him, and there were so many people entering the forest together, but he couldn't shoot randomly.

To be able to dare to grab food despite so many people entering the forest, it seems that the big cat is also very hungry.

Li Xuewu put away his gun and said with a smile: "It seems that we are chasing in the right direction. How many small wild boars were found?"

Several young people looked at each other and said: "I just found one, it must have escaped."

Li Xuewu nodded, gestured towards the surrounding team and continued to chase, and then asked the young people in front of him: "Are you afraid? If you are, go back to the roadside and wait for us."

"How is that possible? Keep going!"

"That's right, what's so scary about a big cat?"

These young people encouraged each other and wanted to continue chasing forward.

Li Xuewu didn't say much, waved his hand and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Start running, if you rest for a while, the piglets will be able to lay piglets."

When several young people saw Li Xuewu's joking encouragement, they all smiled and led the hunting dogs and chased him forward.

In order to catch up with the horizontally advancing team, these people all increased their speed.

Li Xuewu saw that several people were running no slower in the mountains than on the plains. When running through the forest, they would sway from side to side and avoid the branches, without affecting their speed.

These are really good soldiers for the mountain troops. Li Xuewu thought that he would slowly train the escort to have the ability to fight in the city. Climbing and leg strength are an important factor.

Li Xuewu saw that Mr. Zhao's pace was not slow and it was not difficult to follow the others, so he increased his speed.

This group of people was really "tyrannical", with eight teams and more than forty people pulling horizontal lines deep into the forest, with chickens, dogs, and rabbits running around along the way.

The snow in the forest is not thick, and there is no snow in some places. The frost and snow are all hanging on the trees. The ground is covered with a thick layer of leaves and rotten soft soil, which also provides habitat for pheasants, rabbits and other small animals. A place to forage.

Of course, omnivorous animals also like to move in the forest. For example, sometimes wild boars will come under the trees to eat the fruits of the trees.

When Li Xuewu steps on it, it sometimes sinks in. This is not because there is mud, but because the leaves accumulate and corrode over the years, forming a loose structural layer that cannot withstand the weight of the human body or people running on it, so there will be sinking. .

This is a source of danger. Sometimes you may sprain your feet if you don't know the depth. What's more serious is that this kind of place may be the habitat of venomous snakes. Fortunately, the group of hunting dogs in front have already stepped on it, and the boys have stepped on it again.

Li Xuewu followed Mr. Zhao and found a hard place to follow the team. At the same time, he also used the notebook he carried to write down the people and dogs who performed well. As for the names of people and the owners of the dogs, he directly asked Mr. Zhao how many people there were.

"Yes, yes!"

"Quick! Charge!"

Li Xuewu had just written down a few names when shouts came from in front of him.

The one who shouted "Chong Chong" was shouting at the dog. The young man in front of him let go of the dog's leash, and the three hounds rushed out.

Li Xuewu looked in the direction where the dog was running and saw a big gray rabbit jumping left and right to hide from the hound behind it.

"Hey, there really is a rabbit here."

Li Xuewu said with a smile.

Mr. Zhao also took a closer look in the distance and replied: "There are many of them. Only these things can be born. There are several in one litter, several litters in a year."

Li Xuewu said to the thoughtful Yin Mancang: "This is a good thing. This mountain is the treasure house of your village. You must protect it and use it properly."

Mr. Zhao leaned on the tree trunk and looked around, and casually replied: "Hey, what can we protect? It has been this way for many years. Outsiders can't come in, we can't get out, and whatever treasures we have, we have to keep them in our nests."

Here, it’s just the ores and wood, hey, what’s the benefit to us?”

Li Xuewu kicked the soft soil under his feet and said: "I don't know, this soil is good soil for growing mushrooms. If you cultivate it, it will only be useful."

Mr. Zhao did not refute Li Xuewu's words. He regarded Li Xuewu as a kid who didn't know what was going on in the mountains, like "Why not eat minced meat?"

But Yin Manshan was thinking about it. He was not very old, and he had seen the world when he was young. He kept confirming and thinking about some of the things Li Xuewu said in his heart.

While Li Xuewu and others were talking, the result had already been achieved.

This rabbit is used to running in the mountains. It has grown so big and has been chased by countless wild beasts. It is also familiar with the surrounding situation. With a sideways movement, it caused two rushing hounds to collide with each other, like a gourd rolling on the ground.

He had to scream, maybe he was hit really hard, otherwise he wouldn't have screamed so loudly.

The young man running behind him stamped his feet and cursed in the street.

Only the young man's dog stayed behind. Seeing the big gray rabbit playing with the two companions, he pounced forward, caught the big gray rabbit in his arms as it was about to enter the hole, and struck the rabbit's head with a knife.

"Huzi, come back"

The young man shouted to his dog, and the dog stumbled back with the big gray rabbit still kicking in its mouth.

The rabbit was really too big and heavy. It was difficult for the dog to hold the rabbit in its mouth, and it was difficult to lift its head. However, in order to show off its prey to its owner, it still held its head high, so it was kicked continuously.

The rabbit was shaking and stumbling.

"Be good, be good." The young man comforted his dog gently. Judging from the young man's attitude towards the dog, he seemed to be a warm-hearted person???

I saw the young man soothing the dog's head, taking the gray rabbit out of the dog's mouth, grabbing the ears with his right hand, holding the rabbit in his arms, twisting his body, and breaking the big gray rabbit that was playing with the two dogs just now to prevent the tiger's cubs.

neck.

Looking at the rabbit carrying the lifeless rabbit, several dogs were whimpering.

Li Xuewu shook his head and smiled, then asked Zhao Yajun: "What is his name?"

"Tiger"

When Zhao Yajun saw his friends hunting, he wanted to join in. Such an opportunity was rare, but Li Xuewu didn't let him go. He was looking at the young man and the dog with envy, and when Li Xuewu asked, he just said it.

Said it out.

"What's that person's name?" Li Xuewu emphasized speechlessly.

"Oh, his name is Gao Fengkun"

Zhao Yajun saw his second brother glare at him and smiled awkwardly. Then he saw his grandfather turned his head away from him and squeezed the dog leash in his hand uncontrollably.

Li Xuewu wrote down Gao Fengkun's name in his notebook, and then wrote the word "dog" after the name. After thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he crossed out the word "dog" and wrote the word "dog" behind it.

The young man named Gao Fengkun smiled calmly at the compliments from his companions, patted his dog's head, and looked towards Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu just finished memorizing his name and stopped looking at him. Instead, he looked towards the forest, because another hound caught the prey, and there was a burst of exclamation.

Seeing that Li Xuewu was not looking at him, Gao Fengkun felt a little depressed, but after adjusting, he went forward with his companions and hounds.

Li Xuewu saw three hounds over there working together to surround a small fox. The fox was dodging left and right in the encirclement of the three hounds, but it could not break out of the hounds' circle.

Seeing that the young people over there had gathered around, Li Xuewu and others also followed.

"Woof woof!"

The three hounds surrounded the little fox and kept roaring. Every time the little fox tried to rush out, the hounds on the other side would slap him back.

Li Xuewu looked at the people around him, asked Zhao Yajun about the owners of the three dogs, and wrote them down in his notebook.

"Okay, let's call the dog back." Seeing that the young men were already holding bayonets and about to attack the fox, Li Xuewu interrupted.

The young men holding knives looked at Li Xuewu in confusion, wondering what Li Xuewu meant by that.

Li Xuewu said to Mr. Zhao and Yin Manshan: "This thing can't produce meat, and the meat is not delicious. The skin is worth some money, and we are not here for the skin. Let's forget it."

Old lady of the Li family

I had served Baojiaxian before, and among the three immortals there was a fox. Li Xuewu really didn't want to violate this taboo just for a piece of skin.

This is not to say that Li Xuewu was a warrior with shaky beliefs, but from a practical point of view, there was really no need to have any possible "taboos" with a piece of leather.

Yin Mancang waved to several people, signaling to call the dog back.

A young man carrying a bayonet couldn't help but said: "Uncle, we"

Before the young man could finish speaking, Yin Mancang glared and choked back the rest of his words.

Seeing that the young man was restrained by Yin Mancang, and the other people looked at him with some reluctance, Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "How dare you use a knife to touch that fox?"

"Chief Li, look at it." The young man who spoke earlier was about to rush up with a knife. Several other young men were also eager to try, not wanting to fall behind.

"Okay, come here and tell me your name," Li Xuewu stopped him.

Seeing Li Xuewu asking him to report his name, these people were still a little reluctant and wanted to get the fox.

The squad leader was a man. He kicked the young man on the butt and scolded: "Silly thing, you can do whatever I ask you to do. Hurry up and give your name. Don't you want to go to the city?"

These people reacted upon hearing this, ran over excitedly, and gave Li Xuewu their names one by one.

Li Xuewu looked at the squad leader with a smile, and the squad leader smiled honestly back at Li Xuewu.

"I wrote down your names because you performed well, so I can continue to observe. I will have to see your performance later," Li Xuewu said to several young people.

These people looked at each other, turned around and called the dogs back. They all saw that they were good at handling dogs. The three dogs were also obedient, whimpering, looked at the little fox, and ran back with their heads and tails wagging.

When the little fox saw the dog running away, he tried to stretch out his front legs in disbelief. When he saw that the dogs didn't come back, he ran into the forest with a few clicks.

Li Xuewu signaled to several people to continue walking into the forest. He turned around and looked in the direction where the fox was running away. He could still see a patch of fiery red looking back at him.

"Chong rush!"

These young men, as if they had been given a shot of blood, chased the other teams and continued to chase them into the woods.
