It was an autumn night, the temperature in the mountains of Qinling Mountains had begun to cool, and the people in the village had been tired all day, and at night they had fallen asleep early.
Woohoo——! The howls of wolves sounded, wave after wave, and their howls were cold, rough, savage, reverberating in the valley for a long time, and also broke the tranquility of the whole small mountain village.
This has long been a habit for people who have lived in this small mountain village for generations.
But the hunter Lao Zhang was lying on the bed and turning around and couldn't sleep, and suddenly there was a wild cry of the hound Kuroko outside the door, and with his understanding of the hound Kuroko, such a bark must have encountered something and needed his help.
At this time, he was even more sleepy, so he rolled over and put on a coat and walked out the door to see what was going on.
When he opened the door, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw the hound Kuroko coming over, with an excited look, as if he had made a great achievement, shaking his head and tail rubbing around him, the hound Kuroko usually behaves like this because he enters the mountain to catch prey, and he is also asking him for credit.
But he looked around at the darkness and couldn't see anything clearly, nor did he see any prey, and when he looked at the hound Kuroko who was wondering, the hound Kuroko seemed to see through the hunter's doubts, quickly turned around and ran into a haystack outside the courtyard, put his head into the haystack, and pulled out a lump of black flesh from inside.
When he walked up to the hunter Lao Zhang, he understood that it had a wolf cub in its mouth, which also shocked him.
Although the hound Kuroko is brave and good at fighting, and often catches prey with him in the mountains, most of them are hares and pheasants, and even when encountering wild boars, it takes a lot of effort to hunt them.
And now it was a bold move to retrieve a wolf cub from the wolf's den, once the she-wolf was brought in, it would cause big trouble, he looked at the wolf cub carefully, there was no injury on the body, but the mental condition was very bad, and he did not know whether he was hungry, or because he was sick, or for some other reason.
Seeing such a situation, the hunter Lao Zhang had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and first took the wolf cub into the house to get some food, and then said, he couldn't just be starved to death.
The hound Kuroko seemed to be also curious about the wolf cub, and when he saw the hunter Lao Zhang carry the wolf cub into the house, it also sneaked in after him.
Fortunately, their own family makes a living by hunting, in that era of lack of clothing and food, the life of the hunter family is far better than that of the family that lives by farming, although it is hard, but it can support the family, which is also the so-called mountain to eat the mountain.
He found some animal offal and chopped it up to feed the wolf cub, and he didn't expect to throw it into its mouth, maybe the bloody smell stimulated it, and he actually ate it in a big mouthful.
The hound Kuroko on the side looked drooling, but it was a very well-behaved hunting dog, and its owner did not dare to go over and eat with the wolf cub without giving orders in front of it.
The hunter lao Zhang who was on the side did not understand the mind of the hound Kuroko at this time, raised his hand and picked up the half hare that had been prepared for it, and threw it to it, only to see its two front legs lifted, the body stood up, a mouth in mid-air put half of the hare in the mouth, turned around and walked out of the door.
Strange to say, this wolf cub has been very intimate with him since he came to the hunter's old Zhang family, and wherever he goes, he will follow him wherever he goes, and his relationship with the hound Kuroko is also quite good, often watching them play and play.
And he had always been worried that the she-wolf would come to the door, but such a thing had never happened, and he would be relieved after a long time.
The origin of this wolf cub has become a mystery, how the hound Kuroko brought it home, where it came from, what happened, why the she-wolf did not come to her, all of which are unknown.
As time passed, the wolf cubs grew up day by day, until they later grew into a robust adult wolf, and every day they would follow the hunter Lao Zhang into the mountains to hunt with the hunting dog Kuroko.
Hunter Lao Zhang has a hunting dog Kuroko and a wolf around, and hunting in the mountains is more handy, never returning empty-handed, and often hunting some wild boar and other big guys, which can make him happy.
Once in the mountains, in the distance, you can see a group of wild boar leisurely nibbling on food on the ground, and you will often see such a scene in normal times, but these wild boars are very cunning, their alertness is very high, and they disappear without a trace before they get close to them.
When the hunter Lao Zhang saw them, he did not want to pay too much attention to them, and turned around and wanted to leave with the hunting dog Kuroko and the wolf.
But to his surprise, the wolf did not pay attention to the hunter Lao Zhang's greeting at this time, and ran straight in the direction of the wild boar herd.
Looking at this posture, it was meant to hunt wild boars, and the hunter Lao Zhang simply stopped speaking, so he found a place with a wide field of vision to sit down and want to see how strong the wolf's ability really was.
It didn't take long to see that this wolf had approached the wild boar herd, but the wild boar herd did not find it close, the hunter Lao Zhang took a look, maybe there was really a play, he was afraid that such a lone wolf and the wild boar herd would suffer losses, and quickly beckoned the hound Kuroko to go over to help it.
The hound Kuroko could not hold back long ago, and when he received the instructions of the hunter Lao Zhang, he immediately quietly leaned in the direction of the wild boar herd, and he could only follow them far behind, watching their every move.
Without much effort, the hound Kuroko had quietly come to the wolf's side, and they cooperated very tacitly, approaching the wild boar herd little by little.
Finally one of the largest wild boars seemed to sense something strange and looked up, but it did not notice that the hounds Kuroko and the wolf were staring at them in the shadows.
Just as the wild boar bowed its head and continued to eat, the wolf and the hound Kuroko rushed towards the wild boar herd at the same time, and in a few moments they reached them, which caught the wild boars by surprise and scattered and fled.
This also created a good opportunity for them to catch up with the smallest wild boar who was also running very slowly, and the other wild boars were frightened and disappeared into the depths of the jungle in an instant.
The wild boar they were chasing was killed, and before they could run far, the wolf bit its throat, and the hound Kuroko bit its belly on the side, and the wild boar had no ability to resist at all.
When the hunter Lao Zhang ran to the front, the wild boar had completely lost his breath, which was also the first time that the wolf and the hound Kuroko cooperated, and they captured a wild boar, although the size was not large, only about a hundred pounds, but this also made the hunter Lao Zhang happy for a while.
Since then, they have followed the hunter Lao Zhang into the mountains and seem to be less interested in pheasants and hares, and have specifically stared at some slightly larger animals, especially wild boars that have become their most interested prey.
When the crops are almost ripe, the wild boar herd will often come to the village in the middle of the night to waste the grain, making the people in the village miserable, and many methods have been used to drive away the wild boar, but the final effect is minimal.
And since the hunting dog Kuroko and this wolf hunted and killed the first wild boar, as long as there is a wild boar herd coming down the mountain, they will unconsciously lurk around, waiting for the wild boar to be hunted, if they are small, they will be directly dragged to the hunter Lao Zhang to show off, and the big one will run back to inform him to help.
The cooperation between the hound Kuroko and the wolf has also become more and more tacit, and more than 10 wild boars have been captured in just a few months, which has completely destroyed the prestige of the wild boar herd.
Until the end, no wild boars dared to go near the village, and the crops in the field were harvested, and they also made a great contribution, and the hound Kuroko and the wolf became the patron saints of the village.
The people of the village are in awe of them, and no one who kills chickens and sheep will forget to send them some meat to thank them for their contribution to the peace and tranquility of the village.
Hunter Lao Zhang of course takes care of them in every way, as if they are his own children, every day into the mountains to hunt with them both, it is more handy, of course, good food and drink are indispensable to them.
