Wang Manyin trotted home and told Orchid to lock the door and hurry back with rhubarb.
Wang Yanqiang commanded the local dogs of each family to enter the pigsty in batches and smell the remaining blood on the ground one by one.
Rhubarb was the first group. After hearing it, they called to their master and turned around and ran towards the dark side of the court.
Afraid of losing rhubarb, Wang Manyin hurried to follow.
"Everyone follows. The Man Yin family's dog should have found the trail of the wolf." Wang Yanqiang, with a smile on his face, hurries to tell everyone around him.
He followed Wang Manyin with a rifle in his hand, and others followed him, some of them with angry lanterns and some of them with spades.
Shortly after walking out of the village, rhubarb suddenly growled at a place on the ground.
Wang Shuhai immediately came forward with the lantern and shouted excitedly: "Rhubarb has found the right place. There are footprints here, and there is blood on the snow."
Hearing the words, all the people came closer.
In the faint light of the gas death wind lamp, you can see a series of messy animal footprints left on the snow.
One string is obviously pig's foot print, and the rest is obviously wolf's paw print. Looking at the direction of travel, it seems to go straight to the old tomb behind the village.
A few blood drops can also be seen in the footprints.
Wang Yanqiang said to the crowd again, "The wolf is driving such a big pig. It should not be far away. Keep up and don't fall behind. Man Yin, take care of your dog!"
After reading the footprints, an educated youth named Lin Lisheng couldn't help but say, "It's really a wolf! Brother Wang, I'm a little confused. How the wolf drove away such a big pig from the pigsty?"
"I don't know about that. It's my first time." Wang Manyin shook his head and replied.
In fact, he was also curious.
He has just seen the pigsty of Wang Xiugang's house. The wall is more than one meter high, there is no gap around it, and the fence gate has not been damaged.
Even if it is stolen by thieves, it is difficult for such a big fat pig to go out quietly.
It happened that two wild wolves did it. It was really evil.
However, Wang Mancang was very knowledgeable and answered the people's doubts: "Wolves are within reach. After they enter the pigsty, they first bite the pig's ears, and then drive the pig around the pigsty. Under the pain of eating, the pig must run out, so it was driven away..."
"Why don't pigs cry?" Liu Xiangyang interrupted.
"When it gets dark, animals can't see anything at all, and they don't bark unless they make too much noise. Don't talk about pigs, even cows and donkeys..."
The people talked and kept walking.
The conditions for pursuit tonight are much better than those on a snowy night.
First of all, the moon is very bright, and people's vision is not too limited. Even if there is no angry lantern, they can see the mountain road.
Secondly, the snow has not melted yet, and many places will leave footprints.
Two wild wolves drove the sow away, and there were intermittent footprints along the way. In addition, with rhubarb and other local dogs tracking, people will not lose.
After crossing the old grave, rhubarb suddenly made a strange cry.
Wang Manyin immediately understood and turned around and said, "Uncle Yan Qiang, those two wolves are probably not far away from us..."
"Everybody hurry up and don't fall behind!" Wang Yanqiang shouted again.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense... not afraid! Such a large group of people with weapons in their hands are not afraid of ten wolves.
When they passed another cliff, rhubarb barked again.
Wang Shufeng followed the direction of the dog barking and held the angry lantern high.
Then a sharp eyed man shouted, "Yes, they are not far away. They are just ahead."
At this moment, Wang Manyin also saw clearly. There are two black shadows on the dirt road, one on the left and one on the right, driving the Huazhu forward.
It's amazing! It's really like what Wang Mancang said.
One of the wolves bit the pig's ear tightly and beat its tail to drive it away. The other kept looking back, revealing green eyes.
It may be because of the suppression of blood vessels. The flower pig seems to have lost its head. It is driven forward honestly and dare not even cry.
Even the wild wolf can control the direction of the flower pig, and use its tail to whip the pig's left rear hip, so the pig will turn to the right and turn to the left when it hits the right.
The two wolves also belonged to those who sacrificed their lives but didn't give up their money. Although they knew that there was a human coming after them, they still didn't abandon their prey and escape.
Rhubarb tried to rush several times, but was scolded by Wang Manyin.
"Don't go forward, everyone. Watch your dog. I'll shoot!! The tree peak will illuminate me!"
Wang Yanqiang yelled at the crowd, then crouched and half knelt on the ground, raised the gun and aimed at shooting.
He is the basic militia of the commune and often participates in the training organized by the commune. He is different from the ordinary militia, so his posture is very standard.
Bang
A shot rang out.
Wang Manyin only felt his ears buzzing.
The local dogs beside them were even more frightened and grabbed at the back of the crowd, including rhubarb.
By the light, Wang Manyin clearly saw that there was a wild wolf stagger among them.
The body shook a few times and rolled onto the snow.
"Hit, hit!!" someone shouted excitedly.
However, just after the words, the wounded wolf jumped up again, apparently not hit the target.
Bang
Wang Yanqiang fired another shot.
This time, it was empty and hit the ground in front of the wolf, splashing a mass of snow.
The two wild wolves probably knew that they were not rivals of the humans behind them, but they could not put down their prey and ran quickly towards the darkness.
In just a dozen seconds, it disappeared completely.
However, after the flower pig was freed, it kept humming around.
This guy looks a bit sad. His ears are bitten with blood stains, and there are several claw marks on his body.
"What should we do?" Wang Manyin turned to look at Wang Yanqiang and asked.
Judging from the blood on the ground, the wounded wolf should not run far. If we take people to catch up now, we can probably catch up.
"Leave half of the people to guard the Huazhu, and the rest will continue to follow me!" Wang Yanqiang did not hesitate to give the order directly.
He still has bullets on hand, and he can shoot more when encountering wolves.
In this way, more than 20 people divided into two waves.
Wang Manyin is still leading the way with rhubarb.
In fact, rhubarb is not available at the moment. The footprints and blood drops in the snow are very obvious, and we are not afraid of losing them.
They had just walked four or five hundred meters before they saw another pool of blood.
Obviously, the wolf was badly hurt, which made people more confident.
But soon, they found that they underestimated the wolf's desire for survival.
After walking along the undulating cliff for half an hour, they chased for five miles. On the way, they found several pools of blood, but never saw the fallen wolf body.
However, the distance between the blood stains is getting closer and closer. It is estimated that the guy should be close to death.
When we crossed a deep ditch, rhubarb shouted at some place again. By the moonlight, the crowd finally saw a black shadow crawling upward with difficulty.
It may be too seriously injured. It struggled several times without climbing the earth slope.
As for the other wolf, it had disappeared.
"Over there, over there!!"
With the shouts of the crowd, Wang Yanqiang raised his gun.
After two shots were fired intermittently, the wolf rolled into the bottom of the deep ditch and did not get up.
They stood on the slope of the ditch and waited for two minutes. When they saw that the guy was no longer moving, they carefully walked to the front.
Afraid of the wolf pretending to be dead, Wang Manyin deliberately swung his spade and patted his head.
From a close look, this guy is not small. He can weigh almost 50 jin. There are two blood holes on the thick fur.
Then, someone untied the belt to bind the wolf's limbs and hung it on the handle of the shovel.
Although they chased for more than ten miles all the way, the people did not feel tired at the moment, and their faces were full of excitement and joy.
These days, wolf skin is a good thing. It's expensive.
Get it from the supply and marketing cooperative, and it can sell for dozens of yuan. The only pity is that the wolf skin was blasted out of two holes, so the price should be reduced a lot.
