Chapter 26 26. Track down the fish wolf

A loud bark woke me up from my hangover! It's strange, I've known Jomo for so long, the first time I heard her call, I thought she was dumb. She turned her back to the tent, barked a few times in the direction of the water bubble, and listened sideways.I can't see her expression, only the back of her head and upturned nose, and her tail that was tucked in the past is now proudly raised. She is no longer a bereaved dog. "Look, she's back to work." Yi Feng said happily, "I looked at Qiao Mo's collar yesterday, and it was bitten off by herself, and the cut was crisp and clean. In fact, she is fully capable of breaking free, but she is still honest. Let's keep her chained there for a few days, just to reassure us that she's not going to go. Dogs are home after all."

"The poaching is so fierce, and the dog's teeth are sold as wolf teeth. She dare not wander anymore. Maybe Qiao Mo saw how Lu Wang died with his own eyes." I frowned slightly, and became a little depressed again, "Lian Qiao Mo They have found us, why didn't Green come back, is he unable to come back?" I recognized Green's partner, Qiao Mo, and I felt sad and uneasy when I saw the dog thinking about the wolf. My son's childhood is back, where is my son?Jomer's arrival seemed to convey another ominous hint to me—we have returned to the grassland for eight months, and we have left traces within a radius of a hundred miles. The sense of smell, feeling, and insight of wolves are more than a hundred times stronger than dogs. , dogs can spot us, wolves can't be unaware, unless...

"Be confident. So many herdsmen have promised to help us find them. You have to think about Jomo. Stray dogs can live, but free wolves will starve to death? We all have to believe before the death is confirmed. Green is alive!" Yes, we must believe that Green is still alive. This is the driving force behind our persistence in the grassland.But after two years, there is no tracker and no location on the wilderness. How can the life and death of a wild wolf be confirmed?We have searched hard so far, but there is no clue about Green, only speculation. I was looking at Qiao Mo in a daze, when I suddenly heard the high-pitched barking of black-necked cranes from a distance, and the herdsmen's dogs all ran in one direction, and Qiao Mo also rushed over after barking twice.What happened?Yifeng and I hurriedly followed out to find out what happened.

The male black-necked crane strangled the Tibetan dog. He flew up and gave the Tibetan dog a hard bite, then flapped his wings quickly, flying halfway up and down. The two hanging crane legs were dangling in front of the dog, attracting a lot of attention. The dog was chasing and jumping high on the ground, trying to jump up and bite him. Fly high?In case of a mistake, being bitten by a dog or hurting a feather is a fatal blow.Why do black-necked cranes fight with dogs?Did the dog attack the crane's nest? ! "Count! Counselor!" Yifeng chased the dog on horseback. I scanned the water bubble with a telescope - the flood had just receded, and the crane's nest on the water surface was empty!

My heart sank: "The dog took the egg!" "That's not the case, look over there!" I squinted and saw a black and gray furry little guy the size of a pigeon stumbling through the green grass. Xiaohe!He has already hatched!When did it happen?We were both happy and anxious. This newborn baby crane became the target of dogs. The female crane took the young cranes to hide deep in the grass, and the male crane protected his wife and children and led the dogs away.Jomo was also among them. We shouted at the herdsmen to control their dogs.The trained Tibetan dogs were driven back to the camp by their owners with their tails between their legs and their heads lowered.Jomo glanced at the black-necked crane calmly, and followed us slowly.I found that Joe Mo's behavior was different from other dogs. Other dogs were chasing black-necked cranes, while Joe Mo was chasing those dogs. If Joe Mo hadn't stopped the dogs, the little crane might have been caught in the dog's mouth.

Originally, there were not so many residents in this grassland, and they all came to take shelter from the rain. The place where human beings gather will inevitably have an impact on the survival of animals, both threatening and helpful. During heavy rains, there is not much food, but I often see Aunt Duoji spreading corn and barley on the grass to support black-necked cranes. Aunt said: "In rainy days, the water is muddy, and small fish are not easy to catch. This is too thin for black-necked cranes." ..." Days of cloudy and rainy days make it hard for animals and people.Almost all our clothes and quilts were moldy. I spread the clothes to dry, and a mushroom protruded from the sleeve.

Yifeng looked at it for a long time, and popped out a sentence that made me vomit blood: "Is this edible?" He hasn't eaten vegetables for many days, this guy is crazy. Fortunately, the shepherd's purse and gray vegetable on the earth wall of the sheep pen grow very well. I cut a large pot and eat it cold or put it in noodle soup. It is quite popular with everyone. Tashi asked the herdsmen to pay attention to the wolves, and it really worked, and various clues were passed on.Someone told us that his relative saw a wolf by the side of the pasture in the early summer. He had eyes on his forehead and three toes on his paws. He called him Green and followed him for a while. He was not afraid of people, so it must be Green. That's right.But this too-perfect news makes us skeptical—how close do we need to be to see the Eye of Heaven?At such a short distance, wolves can already tell whether they are acquaintances from the smell. Why do they need to walk with a strange herdsman for so long before confirming to leave?If Green had been that stupid, he would have been kidnapped long ago.What's more, wolves don't know how to stretch out their paws for people to see "palmistry". How can the herdsmen see that there are only three toes on his fur-covered paws?Perhaps the herdsmen who passed on the message were trying to comfort and encourage us.

Among the many pieces of news, there is a clue that really stimulated our high point. It was a picture of wolf paw prints taken by herdsmen on the muddy ground by the river bank a few days ago. The three toes are very clear! When we rushed to the river bank to take photos for verification, it was a pity that after some fluctuations in the river, the wolf paw prints on the bank had been washed away.We found no other traces on the river bank that could prove the suspected passage of Green.We deliberately observed that area for a few days, but no wolves appeared.The clue to the three-toed wolf paw was broken, so we had to copy the photo of the herdsman's paw print and keep it for preservation. Anyway, it is the hope that Green is still alive.

In late July, when the rain stopped and the water receded, the herdsmen moved back to their pastures, leaving only one herdsman's camp a few hundred meters away from us.That herdsman is quite xenophobic and doesn't like to socialize with us. The Tibetan dogs in his family are so fierce that we dare not visit them. Zeren was going to go nomadic on the pasture at the foot of Wolf Mountain. Before leaving, he left us the key to Yuanmu’s house. He said that when the road was dry, he would find a way to get some materials into the mountain and rebuild our small house on Wolf Mountain. , Let us continue to stay in Yuanmu's house during this time.Ze Ren's nephew Luo Luo sticks to Yifeng and insists on staying with us.

As soon as the herdsmen moved away, the pasture suddenly became deserted. The three of us liked to tease Jomo when we were free.Little Carrot will keep barking: "Jomo, Jomo, Jomo..." Then count the number of times the dog's tail "signs in" and wrestle with the dog with a pouted mouth, "You shook it one more time." I asked Jomo to sniff Green’s Doma and the bell from childhood, and asked her expectantly, “Jomo, where is Green, do you know? Take us to find him.” I said it again in Tibetan. Qiao Mo rolled his eyes, revealing a little bit of whiteness, and looked at us blankly and innocently, like a dumb who can't speak.Yifeng caressed her ears, and sighed: "Forget it, don't make her difficult, Qiao Mo is not a police dog... She will be amazing if she can understand these words."

There is a reason for the formation of Qiao Mo's character of being pro-wolf and dog-friendly.I heard from Zhaxi that Qiao Mo was originally a descendant of ordinary prairie dogs. In the era when everyone was chasing Tibetan mastiffs, she didn't have any so-called noble blood, that is, mongrel dogs.There are seven brothers and sisters in Qiao Mo's litter, which is the crystallization of her mother's free love after sneaking out.The old owner felt hot about the litter of puppies, and it was not easy to kill them, so he had to give them to relatives and friends. Jomo was also given to Jiumei, the old owner's friend. Jiumei's family has already raised three beautiful big dogs. Due to the affection of friends, they have to take in Qiaomo, but they don't like Qiaomo very much.The other dogs had mighty names, but Jomer only called her "Jam" (bitch).When Jiumei was happy, she would throw a piece of leftover bones from other dogs to her, and when she was unhappy, she would kick her twice when entering or leaving the tent, so Jomo always put his tail between his legs, showing a little doormat expression. Qiao Mo, who grew up drinking soup, was born with supernatural powers. When she was four months old, ordinary iron chains could no longer hold her. She often broke the chain and ran out to get some fresh air, and then went home after finding some wild food to fill her stomach. Although every time she went home, she would inevitably be beaten to pieces, but she still had to go out.Jiumei simply didn't tie her up, wanting her to go away by herself, and let other dogs chase and bite her, but even if she was beaten and bitten, Jomo still wanted to go home and eat soup.Jiumei said that Jomo was a mangy dog ​​who couldn't be chased away, and he was also a thief. He often took advantage of people's unsuspecting to enter the tent to steal meat, and even ate the milk dregs that were drying outside the tent. Jiumei’s dog follows its owner’s likes and dislikes, and bullies Jomo. On the contrary, passing foxes and wolves don’t chase and bite her. Some wolf and fox habits.When the wolf came, she didn't report it. If the wolf killed the sheep, she ate the meat.This violated the master's taboo even more: "One day I will kill you!" This "someday" dragged on for a very long time, so long that Qiao Mo grew up to be a bully on the ranch. This dog seemed to be born to sense someone's emotions, and he became a master.Every dog's food bowl has been patronized by Qiao Mo, but she refuses to eat the meat that Jiumei has put fox medicine on. Can't kill, can't drive away!Qiao Mo stole a piece of sheep fat sausage, and jumped onto the truck with the sheep fat sausage in his mouth when he moved out.Jiumei had nothing to do with her, and vented all her resentment on the accelerator! Coincidentally!Although Qiao Mo is strong and strong, he has a big weakness - motion sickness. Fainted all the way to Tashi Ranch.Jiumei and Luyu's Tashi chatted a few words, and Qiaomo fell out of the car "dizzily", his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand still, and he lay on the ground drooling.Seeing that the good opportunity to get rid of the plague god has come, Jiumei drove away in a hurry. It was also that year that Green, who was more than four months old, and I were guests at Tashi Ranch.Green found this "soft dog", and he dared to touch Jomo's nose to say hello. Jomo was still dizzy, opened his mouth wow, and vomited out the fat sheep intestines she had swallowed before getting into the car . Green was overjoyed—my sister is so polite, come as you please, and bring something! Green immediately took advantage of the gift.For canines, only the closest relationships regurgitate meat for each other. Since then, Green, who is alone in the wild, and Jomer, who is lonely and wandering, have become good partners who cherish each other.The two of them got into trouble together, and shared the meat together.When Green catches the otter, Jomo helps him sweep the formation, and when Green turns over the sheepfold, Jomo helps him step up. Jomo still saved Green's life.Once, Green found a piece of meat with fox medicine in it, and Qiao Mo ran away after grabbing the meat. Green insisted on biting the dog's butt a few times.In the end, it was Zhaxi who found out the reason for their fight, confiscated the poisonous meat and disposed of it. Tashi said that his previous dog died from eating this kind of poisonous meat, and luckily he discovered it in time.At that time, I wondered what Qiao Mo should understand, otherwise this piece of meat could be swallowed in one bite, and there was no need to grab it without eating it.Green licked Jomer's nose embarrassedly.I don't know if wolves and dogs can also communicate with each other. It's just that when Green encounters meat falling from the sky, he will never be as careless as before. That year, Jomo was six months old.And I devoted myself to raising Green, and my memory of Jomo is only this fragment. Two years later, when I came to the grassland again, Jomo recognized me a long time ago, but I only recognize her now. With Green, the little bandit at the bottom, I don't mind Jomo's previous record of stealing meat, but I'm curious about what's going on in her mind, and I'll try the hidden camera I repaired by the way.So I set up surveillance at home, left the house on purpose, and observed her with a hidden camera—shortly after I left home, Jomo opened the window and entered the house, just walked around the house to check the new home.At that time, there was a bowl of meat on the table, she sniffed it with her nose up, but she didn't eat it, she didn't even pick up the table to take a look, she just jumped out of the window from the same way.What surprised me the most was that before she left, she stretched out her claws and hooked the window shut.What a thoughtful snitch, it would be more professional if he could wipe off the claw marks! I suddenly fell in love with the cunning of this girl, she is as good as Green!I guess she just sneaked into the house to get to know the new owner.Only this time, Qiao Mo never entered the door again. Even if I lured her into the house, she stopped at the door and behaved very well.I figured that even if she'd cheated before, it was probably Kumi who starved her to death.As for Najiumi's saying that Jomo doesn't guard against wolves or chase away foxes, we like it on the contrary. Afterwards, Jomo watched in disbelief as I put the bowl of meat in front of her, and said to her, "Jomo, Ka Suo (eat meat)." She suddenly forgot to wag her tail. In the past, she always ate the food from the oven. Perhaps this was the first meat that was given to her only by herself.She greedily looked at the bowl of meat, as if she wanted to engrave it in her eyes.Her eye circles turned red all of a sudden, and her eyes were moist. She raised her head and stared at me vigorously, as if she wanted to take a picture of me with a "click" and save it in her memory card. "Don't look, just eat." I said gently. Jomo clamped his thighs and wagged his tail vigorously.The thick tongue licked the back of my hand hard.She sniffed around the bowl, like blowing out birthday candles, and then ate it gracefully, as if she wanted to slowly savor the aroma of meat that she had never tasted in her entire life. "You bought another dog's heart." Yifeng leaned against the door and bared his teeth. "Actually, she's pretty good." I caressed Qiao Mo's forehead, what animals want is that simple, treat her better, and she will remember you forever. Although Jomo "doesn't talk much", he is very loyal and always follows us silently like a shadow.When we patrolled the field, she followed; when I dug wild vegetables, she followed; when I went to fetch water from the river, she followed; even when Yifeng went to the toilet, she followed.This was the most embarrassing thing for Yifeng—after she carefully accompanied Yifeng to find a good location, she lay on the side with her front paws folded and watched carefully, leaving no privacy at all.Yifeng has to drive her away every time. "Why does she have such a habit?" Yifeng was annoyed. But one time later, I found that Yifeng was also shooting with a newly modified telephoto camera, and in front of the camera, Qiao Mo was "making cakes" on the grass.I was in a bad mood at the time... "I'm testing the machine!" Yifeng hurriedly explained, "This is purely a coincidence!" Well, I believe it.Qiao Mo, if you come out to play around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. Within a few days, Jomo surprised us again. Here's the thing.Since the herdsmen moved away, we have cut off meat. Even if there is some meat, we can't store it in hot weather. We can only eat with wild vegetables, and the food for Jomo is dog food soaked in tsampa soup.However, one morning, Qiao Mo brought back a hare, and quietly lay down under the wall, improving the food by himself.Yifeng and I are so greedy that the roots of our tongues are wet. No wonder she has been wandering on the grassland for two years and is still alive and well. It turns out that this guy can hunt by himself! When the "new owner" discovered that she was eating alone, Qiao Mo held his tail between his legs guiltily, but hugged the rabbit to his chest with his front paws reluctantly.A baby posture of "rather spit out ivory than game". "It doesn't matter, eat yours, it's a good thing if you have the ability to earn extra money!" I swallowed, and offered Qiao Mo a favor, anyway, I didn't dare to snatch her prey. "She doesn't protect food very much. If Green is eating, if you dare to look at it so closely, he will go crazy." One evening, Yifeng was repairing the chimney on the roof, and the black-necked crane barked again. Did the dog next door break free?Yifeng looked towards the grassland and saw radish bouncing straight up on the grassland like a little grasshopper from afar. He waved his hands violently at Yifeng and vaguely heard him shouting: "Bang Ke! Bang Ke!" There are wolves? !Yifeng almost jumped off the roof: "Quick! Bring the camera!" We both rushed towards Shui Pao Zi. Across a large area of ​​water, Luobo pointed out to us the big "green" wolf.He was looming in the sedge and shallow water, wet and covered with duckweed, glowing with an oily green light.The lower part of the wolf's body is wading in the water, and the tail cannot be seen, and the head cannot be seen. This wolf is also playing with Xiaohe's idea?The male black-necked crane was even more nervous than when he met a group of dogs last time. He spread his wings and shrugged his shoulders, shaking off his feathers, trying to make himself look majestic and cover his wife and children to retreat.The black-necked crane stood a hundred meters away and yelled loudly, but it didn't dare to approach the wolf like a challenge dog. The wolf roamed leisurely in the water, sniffing around, burying its head and mouth in the water from time to time to tease it. Although its body was wet, it held its tail very high, trying not to let the tail get wet.The wolf didn't seem to care about the black-necked crane yelling at him, nor was it interested in chasing the little crane's morsel. We haven't seen a wolf for more than half a month, and we are finally looking forward to one. This "green mountain god" didn't just come down to take a bath, did he?Could he be Green?Although we couldn't see the hair color, we decided to try our luck and call him! "Green! Green..." The wolf seemed to turn his head to look at us through the water plants, and continued to pace up and down in the water wholeheartedly. Carrot also yelled after us, and howled like a wolf, so that Qiao Mo also joined in the wolf melody of the dog's sound. The wolf seemed to be disturbed, and he went ashore to shake the water, and the wolf hair stood up like sharp thorns.He picked up something from the shore and disappeared into the grass without looking back.I vaguely noticed a thin, translucent sequin trembling at the corner of his mouth, like a big fish tail. Really shameless, what is this wolf doing?He turned a deaf ear to our noise.My brain was twisted into a paste and I couldn't figure it out, so I called Lao Lang at night. As soon as he heard about the wolf who came to catch the fish, the old wolf was so excited that he pulled the microphone cord and screamed: "It must be Green, shout!" "Called, the wolf didn't catch us with eyelids, and the wolf was soaked all over, so we couldn't see the characteristics. The water area is very wide, and the wolf is sure that people can't get through it, so we don't take us seriously..." The old wolf was breathing heavily, and I guessed his heartbeat must be fast.After a while, the old wolf emphasized his tone of affirmation: "I suspect that it is Green. Wolves on the grassland don't like to catch fish, but Green has been good at catching fish since he was a child... I will look more clearly next time, and pay special attention to this dog. Fish wolf! What are you wearing today? From tomorrow onwards, change into the clothes that Green is most familiar with before. Wolves recognize people from a distance by their appearance and clothing! If you meet him again, call again!" "Okay! I'll listen to you." I recalled that when Yifeng and Green reunited after a long absence, Yifeng changed from summer clothes to winter clothes. Green did not recognize Yifeng at that time, and the old wolf made sense. A few days later, the fish wolf really came, but it was at noon. The sun baked the wetlands, and the surrounding scenery was transpired by the heat waves, making them hazy and unreal like a mirage.Yifeng and I were dozing off in the room, but Qiao Mo suddenly jumped up and scratched the window to wake me up.Jomo only yells at strangers, not wolves or foxes. I turned over and jumped up to look out the window, and found that the wolf was floating on the pasture like a phantom.He was very close to our house this time, probably less than a mile away, within the view of the east window. I quickly turned on the camera and kicked Yifeng awake: "Wolf is coming! Keep an eye on it!" I said and went out through the window. Just climbed out of the window and saw the wolf was gone.I howled and shouted again, but there was no response from all around.If it weren't for the liquefied and erratic image of the wolf still left in the camera, I would almost suspect that I was dazzled just now. Playing back the video, the wolf was just tossing around on the edge of a fence at the end of the creek.I secretly wondered that noon is usually not the time for wolves to be active, so we took a nap with confidence.If wolves are here to catch fish, usually the water temperature is low in the morning and evening, and the fish are stiff and slow, making them easy to catch.But in the hot noon, the fish are alive and kicking, why choose this time to come?In terms of body shape, this wolf seems to be a little bigger than the fisherman I saw that day?But maybe it was because the wolf's fur was soaked in water that day, so it looked smaller? The two walked over to check.The river where the wolf passed was a lengthless steel wire fence built along the embankment, and at the end of the creek where the wolf stayed was a passage through the fence leading to the river bank. The fence wire at the passage was cut by the rancher One end is tied to a long wooden stick to make a steel wire soft door that can be opened and closed.In the winter when water is scarce, the herdsmen need to open the fence gate from here, drive the cattle and sheep to the frozen river, dig through the ice, and let the cattle and sheep drink water.In summer, the gate of the fence is fastened. In order to prevent the sheep from getting into the fence, the herdsmen also drew a screen net under the fence gate and rolled it to the ground. Because cattle and sheep have been coming in and out here for a long time, the passage has been stepped on and sunken. When it rains, the water from the wetland will naturally gather here, forming a shallow stream. Two inches of water flows into the river through the gauze under the fence gate.There were traces of the wolf jumping and rubbing on the soft mud at the bottom of the water. Unfortunately, none of the paw prints were clear. It could only be seen that the wolf stayed here for a while, rolled over, and then jumped into the river through the fence gate. The water escaped! It is easy for a wolf to climb over any fence. He doesn't need to look for the fence door deliberately, so why does he have to go through here?He stays here the longest and even rolls and smells. The wolf will only do this when he feels safe or where he likes. There doesn't seem to be anything special here. What is it that attracts him? I turned on my phone to take a picture, and was about to tell Yifeng not to trample on the scene, but Yifeng suddenly bent down: "Hey, the net is moving..." I knelt down and lifted the gauze lightly-ho!A net of small fish and large fish scales!The small fishes a few inches long suddenly saw the light, opened their mouths and splashed water everywhere.We were so happy, this is the purpose of the wolf! As long as it rains, the fish will rush down here and be stranded by the net. The water will be dried at noon, and these fish will become a plate of river freshness in the net. Fish nest.Those big fish scales are old and new. It seems that the wolf has been looking at this nest for a few days. Every few days, he comes to take the big fish away. He still doesn't like the small fish, this cunning fisherman! "This wolf is very familiar with the situation here!" "Restore the net. In a few days, the wolf will definitely come to collect the fish." A week passed, during this period, the fish in the gauze net was taken away by the wolf twice again.Every day I cry out with hope, hoping that Green will miraculously appear.However, the wolf did not come, but the herdsman next door came to the door. "Stop howling that wolf of yours. Once you howl, my cattle and sheep will jump through hoops, and I can't stop them!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect the cow to react so much." We both couldn't laugh or cry, my wolf howl is so similar?Why is it that the wolf I called is still out of the service area even though the cows are replying to text messages?The neighbor told me to shut up, what should I do next? "Use monitoring, install it next to the fishing net..." Yifeng shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips: "You're back to the old routine of feeding surveillance. This hidden camera has never captured adult wolves. I'm afraid that if you install the machine, the wolves will stop coming." "This is the wolf's own fish nest. It's different from feeding. Besides, the fish nest has left our smell. Didn't the wolf go to catch the fish as well? This time I see that he must walk along the embankment." Install a few more monitors on the way, I just want to see clearly whether the fish wolf is Green." In the few days after the monitoring was installed, we waited for the wolf. In the past few days, I always think back to one thing that I was puzzled in the days of guarding the wolf's den: where did the fish come from when the scud changed its teeth?The old wolf said that wolves on the grassland generally don't like to eat fish, but doesn't spicy mom just catch fish and feed it to her precious daughter?Could the wolf who came here to catch fish be a hot mom?It is more than ten kilometers from here to Langshan. For the nutrition of her children, did she go so far to catch fish?Both Laolang and Yifeng firmly believe that the one who catches the fish wolf is Green, but what if it is the hot mom?Will it not disappoint them? Forget it, even if it's a hot mom, I've solved a mystery at the beginning, at least I can know that they are still safe now.Of course, it would be great if it was Green! Yifeng set up a telephoto in the window to strictly monitor.I was in charge of logistics, and went to the sheepfold behind the house to cut wild vegetables every morning. The growth of gray vegetables does not require too much sunlight, and the plants grow more lush after heavy rain.Blanch the young ash vegetables in boiling water, mix in green onions, salt, and peppercorns, pour in hot sesame oil, and add some vinegar to make it fragrant and refreshing.When he first ate wild vegetables, Yifeng gave it top praise: "Wild vegetables are more delicious than any meat. They are the greatest enjoyment in the grassland, and they are my life!" No matter how delicious the food is, I can't help but eat it every day, every meal.Even after half a month of eating gray vegetables, Yifeng's face turned green: "Get me some meat, it doesn't matter if you don't want 'life'." "The herdsmen are gone, where can I get meat?" I said, picking up the dish.Jomo had already rushed to the back of the house wagging his tail to lead the way.I put on the sun hat, and said with a sly smile, "There are fish in that net, and the wolves don't care about those small fish anyway. If you bring the small fish back, I'll fry catfish for you." Yifeng swallowed hard: "No, I have to leave those to Green. In case he can't hunt someday, Xiaoyu can help." What a dad.My heart was hot, and I was a little worried: "Yifeng, what if it's not Green who came to catch the fish?" "What did you say?" "Forget it, it's nothing." I picked up the vegetable basket and went out, and laughed loudly, "If you are really greedy, ride to Zeren's place and lead the sheep back." I went to pick wild vegetables along the old route outside the sheepfold behind the house.Do not trample on the pasture everywhere, this is the practice of herdsmen to cherish pasture, and we have also developed such a habit.As soon as I walked halfway, I saw Qiao Mo running towards me, passing me by with a hare dangling in his mouth.sharp!This guy is pretty self-reliant!I stared at Qiao Mo's back as he returned to the house, stunned, grabbed two handfuls of wild vegetables, couldn't hold back my greed anymore, and followed him all the way back.With such a big prey, Qiao Mo must not be able to finish it, so it shouldn't be too much to share half of it with me to feed Yifeng. Jomo found a shady place by the wooden fence in the yard and lay down, guarding the hare and staring at me aggrievedly like a robber.I didn't dare to rob her clearly, so I blocked her way of escape and did her ideological work with a smile on my face.This guy's eyes were full, he was embarrassed to turn against me, and he had nowhere to hide, so he hugged the rabbit tightly and didn't let go of his claws—she hasn't touched meat for a long time. I watched helplessly as she licked the rabbit in front of her along its fur, and then back again, and even the ears of the rabbit were covered with sticky saliva.That expression immediately reminded me of a child who slurped up the ice cream in front of his friends in order to eat the ice cream for himself.This guy hasn't been vaccinated against rabies. I let out a long sigh, raising a dog is worse than raising a wolf, I think Green knew to split my leg back then.Joe Mo, count yourself cruel! I'll go dig wild vegetables... After another two days of thin salt and little oil, Yifeng rode a horse to find Zeren to rub the meat, and I went to the river to collect surveillance. The five monitors installed on the fence on the shore and on both sides of the gauze net found nothing, and the fish in the gauze net were not taken away. The crow's mouth, Yifeng, said it was right. After installing the monitor, the wolves stopped coming.But there are fresh wolf paw prints on the river bank!Why can't every machine be photographed? I checked the camera and looked up to see a machine on a wooden stick by the river, which was almost washed down by the flowing water. I slid down the steep embankment, retrieved the machine to check, and it was fine, no water.This machine actually started a video recording two days ago? ! "Wolf!" I played back the surveillance footage—the setting sun coated the river embankment with a thick layer of gold, and the back of a lone wolf appeared in the video, sneaking briskly along the river bank.How did he successfully bypass the two surveillance cameras on the only way to the lower river embankment?The only camera that was activated was just behind the place where he went down the river, and it was submerged in the water, and the human flavor was taken away by the current. The wolf ignored this shot.The wolf continued to walk forward with small steps, the figure became smaller as it walked, and only the general movement could be seen. I clenched my fists and held my breath. The place on the embankment in front of me was the gauze channel, where there were two cameras facing each other with no dead ends.The two cameras were hidden in the gauze, with only a fingernail-sized lens exposed, so it was hard to find without looking carefully.As soon as he comes ashore, the cameras are activated.It's almost... here!The wolf stretched its neck to have a look, lowered its head, and immediately retreated!He is not fooled?How cunning!A simple glance showed through the camouflage, no wonder the two machines didn't start either! My heart races and it's even better to be back!Just look at your face.As the wolf approached, my eyes widened, wolf, come closer... let me see you clearly!It's getting closer... The lone wolf glanced at the river as he walked.It's getting closer... The wolf looked up at the embankment, he knew there was surveillance on it.very close... Freeze!Ah... She really is the hot mom of Houshan!This guy goes far enough!Just to feed this fish to the child? Hot Mom suddenly discovered the hidden camera.She turned around decisively and withdrew again!She quickened her pace and ran farther and farther... The video stopped, and the shooting time of the camera was only one minute. During this minute, the hot mom easily went back and forth to a distance of more than a hundred meters three times. I don't know where she left in the end.I only know that in the process, she cleverly bypassed the five "organs" I carefully arranged.When she found the hidden camera, she only had to fix her eyes for a tenth of a second, and left immediately without any hesitation or curiosity!The wolf was originally a very curious animal, but she restrained her curious nature. Her eyes clearly conveyed such a message at that moment - I don't need to know what it is, anyway, it is a human thing, and it is in a familiar route I have to stay as far away from people as possible due to the dangerous abnormalities that appear.Hot Mom hated our hidden cameras on Wolf Mountain and threw both of them down the hole.So much later, we never dared to install a hidden camera near the wolf den. I sat alone on the shore, staring at the flowing water in a daze. For more than half a month, my belief that the fish wolf was Green was shattered... Green, where the hell are you? The river breeze was slightly cool, making my nose sore.Alas, let’s be content, at least now I understand why in the beginning, the source of the mountains and rivers was clearly infested by wolves, but they were able to bypass our cameras.I also learned where Hot Mom was fishing, and solved the puzzle on Wolf Mountain.This is the first time that we have photographed adult wild wolves vigilantly and suspiciously avoiding surveillance. This precious footage may be the only one in the world.Wolf behavior is more complex and unpredictable than I imagined. In the distance, the horse's hooves sounded urgently, and Yifeng, who came back from Zeren's side, was empty-handed. His gloomy face was steaming with sweat, and he turned over and jumped off the horse: "Something has happened!"
