I searched for a whole day and hunted a lot of random prey, but I couldn't find the bear.
After it snows, animals in the mountains are much easier to find. As long as they move on the snow, they can leave their marks.
Both hounds are good hounds and have been praised many times by Uncle Qiao.
Under normal circumstances, if you can find prey by following the scent left by animals on the ground, you are considered a good hunting dog.
However, once it snows and the smell on the ground is masked, this hound's claws become numb.
Daqing and rhubarb are different. When there is snow on the ground, they raise their heads to smell the smell and look for prey through the smell left in the air. This is awesome, and ordinary hounds simply can't do it.
The hunters in the two mountainous villages were also very excited.
In the past, when they went hunting in the mountains, they just set a few traps and dug out a few bird's nests. Occasionally, if they got lucky, they could catch half a pheasant and a hare.
It's not like now, when a group of boys with extraordinary fighting ability listen to their command, and they can hunt pheasants, hares, wild boars and wolves.
Their equipment also changed from guns to cannons, the original broken knives were replaced by steel knives, and the flimsy hunting bows were replaced by ox-horn bows.
This kind of bow can shoot not only rabbits, but also wild boars!
Although he couldn't find a bear all day, Yun Chao was still very satisfied with the two hunters and their dogs. After returning home, he fed the two dogs a large piece of wild boar pork belly.
These days, people don’t have enough to eat, let alone dogs.
It would be nice to eat some wheat bran and wild vegetable dumplings. If you help the master catch a prey, it will only be slightly meaty. It is simply impossible to eat meat openly.
The two hounds followed Yun Chao today, and it was quite satisfying. They ate all-you-can-eat meat, and it was wild boar pork belly that was rich in oil and water. It was so satisfying.
Seeing Yun Chao feeding wild boar belly to the dogs, many of the helpers were heartbroken. This was the Wu Dynasty where people were often starved to death. Seeing Yun Chao being so wasteful, one word naturally appeared in everyone's mind -
spendthrift!
Even the owners of the two dogs felt that Yun Chao was extravagant and a waste of natural resources.
However, the two hunters were so moved that they had never seen such a good official as Yun Chao.
Although the family is a bit wasted, they are really kind, not only to dogs but also to people!
Even if the bear was not found, Yun Chao did not treat the two hunters badly: "You two have worked hard today. Each of you has five liters of food. We will settle the accounts together when we leave."
The two hunters really worked hard today, Yun Chao could see this, and Uncle Qiao could also see it, and told Yun Chao that they were not lazy.
I have to say that Yun Chao admires Uncle Qiao for this.
Last time I went to Kaoshan Village, these two guys were among the people who laughed at him.
He was still able to speak for them from a fair standpoint despite being so intimidated by his cowardice, which shows what kind of character Uncle Qiao has.
The two hunters were already moved, but now they were moved to tears.
He kowtowed to Yun Chao while lying on the ground. If the village chief of the backing village could be as good as this inspection master, how lucky would the folks in the backing village be!
From other people's words, they already had a rough idea of what kind of person Yun Chao was.
When I first met Yun Chao, I thought Yun Chao was a bad official who bullied men and dominated women and did all kinds of evil.
I never expected that Yun Chao was a bit overbearing, but he was such a kind person.
See how those who follow him are treated?
Whether they are locals from Wolong Village or helpers from other villages, they all look rosy and energetic after eating.
Even if you eat well, you will still be rewarded with two liters of food per person per day. What is the concept of this?
Two hunters have never heard of it before!
What made them even more unexpected was that Yun Chao treated everyone equally. As a hunter, Uncle Qiao could receive five liters of food a day, but they could also receive five liters of food!
Oh my God, if I work a few more days, I can earn enough food for my family to survive the winter this year!
If it were some refined egoists of later generations, since they have such good treatment, why would they be looking for a bear?
For example, some taxi drivers who have ruined the reputation of the industry do just that. They either rip off customers or take detours. A ten-kilometer detour on a three-kilometer road is not enough.
However, the two hunters from the backing village didn't think so. In their simple values, if they took Yun Chao's things, they would work hard for them.
There is no such thing as deliberately delaying time and working hard, and I have never even thought about it!
Therefore, when they went into the mountains again the next day, the two hunters gathered all their strength, saying that they would find the bear today, otherwise they would not have the nerve to ask for food!
Uncle Qiao felt something was wrong and was afraid that these two guys were eager for quick success and would make another mistake.
Don't be impatient when hunting. Once impatient, you will easily make mistakes. Whether it is hurting a dog or a person, Uncle Qiao Qi is not willing to see it.
Especially when Yun Chao leads the team, in Uncle Qiao's view, anything can happen to anyone, except Yun Chao, otherwise he, Uncle Qiao, will be the sinner of Wolong Village, and the folks in Wolong Village will skin him alive after he returns.
Skin!
Therefore, Uncle Qiao repeatedly warned the two hunters: "Don't worry, you two. If you hurt the deputy inspector, no one can protect you..."
The two hunters didn't think too much about it at first. In their concept, only by working hard can they be worthy of the five liters of food Yun Chao gave them.
They didn't react until Uncle Qiao reminded them.
Yes, I have only seen such a good person like the deputy inspector in my life. If something happens to him, not only will the people of Wolong Village spare me, but I will also have a bad conscience!
So, the two hunters slowed down their pace.
If you want to hunt a bear, both the human and the dog must retain a certain amount of physical strength. Otherwise, when the bear is found, the human and the dog will no longer have the energy to hunt the bear. It would be better if the bear is not harmed.
As the search area becomes wider and wider, the animals near Wolong Valley are in bad luck.
Let’s not talk about pheasants and hares. Later, Yun Chao no longer allowed anyone to hunt them.
There are too many to mention, the key is wasting time.
As for wild boar, as long as you can encounter it, you must kill it.
Yun Chao led so many people around the mountains not only to hunt down the bear that ate the donkey, but also to clear out some nearby wild beasts.
Wild boars are the number one "natural enemy" of the old farmer. He is now planning to develop the north bank of Wolong Valley. If he doesn't take advantage of the fact that some people have dogs to control the number of wild boars, he will be in big trouble when the crops mature next year.
Yun Chao's calmness was also transmitted to the two hunters in the mountain village.
The bear was never found, and the two of them were still very nervous, fearing that Yun Chao would blame them.
Later I discovered that the inspection man didn't seem angry at all.
How come I have never met such a good official before?
Why didn't such a good person end up in Kaoshan Village?
If the inspection master is our backing village...
