The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Good dogs die on the mountain.

This is an old saying passed down from generation to generation.

Just like the general's death on the bed of old age, there is great sadness.

Some people may ask, do dogs think so too?

Yes.

A hunting dog, the more powerful a hunting dog is, the more disobedient it is.

When it gets old, the owner no longer takes it up the mountain. Even if it is given good food and drink, it will not eat.

In the previous hunting, Xing Zhiyong was more outstanding. In Zhao Jun's previous life, he had raised a hunting dog. When the dog was seven years old, Xing Zhiyong stopped taking it up the mountain.

Every time the dog saw Xing Zhiyong taking other dogs into the mountains, he would sit at home and howl.

The sound of a dog howling is different from the sound of a dog barking. The dog owner can hear the sadness of the hunting dog from the dog howling.

However, it is old and can no longer run. During the hunt, it rushed so fast that the wild boar turned around and picked at it, but it couldn't escape.

Finally, the dog went on a hunger strike.

Xing Zhiyong gave it wild boar fat mixed with cornmeal to eat, but it didn't eat it either.

Xing Zhiyong cut wild boar and roe deer meat to it, but it wouldn't eat it.

In the end, the old dog starved to death by himself.

Some people may not understand it, but that’s what a real hunting dog is.

When Xu Changlin said, "Let a good dog die on the mountain," the old man straightened his body and looked at the mountains in the distance.

His dog isn't old yet, but he is.

Since the year before last, Xu Changlin could not climb the mountain. He persisted until last fall, when he took three dogs up the mountain to fight. The three dogs surrounded a wild boar on the slope and killed it inextricably.

But as a hunter, Xu Changlin couldn't run anymore, so he moved up step by step. When he reached the top, the wild boar had already run away, and each of the three dogs was in trouble.

If Xu Changlin were a few years younger that day and could have arrived two minutes faster, the wild boar wouldn't have been able to escape if he fired.

From that day on, Xu Changlin never entered the mountains again. He was afraid that he would harm the three dogs because he could not run.

But after that, the three dogs often looked at the mountains and howled, and their appetites became much smaller.

That's why Xu Changlin thought of selling the dog.

At this time, Zhao Jun stepped forward and said to Xu Changlin: "Master Xu, my brother Dalong is okay for hunting."

"Yeah." Xu Changlin nodded and said, "I know."

After saying that, the old man took out the stack of money that Wang Dalong gave him from his pocket, took two out of them and handed them to Li Baoyu, and said to him: "Just ask Wang Dalong to pay you back thirty dollars tomorrow."

"This..." Li Baoyu looked at Xu Changlin and didn't understand why, so he didn't dare to reach out and take the twenty yuan.

Xu Changlin stuffed the money into the pocket of Li Baoyu's cotton-padded jacket and said, "I don't want to sell the dog to Zhang Laibao, so I can't let Wang Dalong pay the extra twenty yuan."

"Mr. Xu, you..." Li Baoyu was even more confused. The old man looked like he was desperate for money just now. How could he take back all the money in his pocket now?

Zhao Jun said from the side: "Master Xu wants to find a good owner for his dogs."

Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Xu Changlin took a deep look at him and then said: "Qin Qiang has a bad mind. I asked him for three hundred to run away. Zhang Laibao is unreliable, and he can't pay no matter how much money he has." Sell ​​it to him."

At this point, Xu Changlin paused and then said: "If you two don't buy it, I will have no choice but to sell it to Wang Dalong. Although this kid is a bare-faced renegade, he is still okay with dogs."

"Master Xu, you..." Zhao Jun said, giving Xu Changlin a thumbs up.

In the previous life, he was not hunting yet.

He doesn't hunt, and Li Baoyu spends his time at home with him.

Without the mistakes of the two of them, Wang Dalong's dog gang would not have disbanded. That Zhang Lai Bao would not have the desire to buy a dog for hunting.

So in his previous life, Xu Changlin sold these dogs to a Xian tribesman named Jin Gaolai.

In the autumn of 1987, Jin Gaolai went hunting in the mountains. Three dogs surrounded a black bear. After a fight, the three dogs forced the black bear up a tree.

Jin Gaolai was down there taking aim with his gun. He took three or two sights without getting it right, and shot the black bear through the buttocks with one shot.

The black bear fell from the tree and came straight for the gold with a gun on his head.

When Jin Gaolai changed the bullet and prepared to fire the second shot, the second shot misfired because the bullet had expanded.

At this time, the three dogs couldn't hold the black bear back. The black bear caught up with Jin Gaolai in two seconds and ripped off Jin Gaolai's head with one palm.

The three dogs fought to the death to save Jin Gaolai.

After three dogs died, Jin Gaolai lay down bit by bit from the hillside and climbed to the mountainside to drive away from the mountain man's shack. Only then was he rescued and sent to the hospital at the foot of the mountain, where he saved his life.

As for the three dogs, everyone was only focused on saving people, but no one cared about them.

That night, Xu Changlin learned the news. Early the next morning, before dawn, the old man went into the mountain with a gun.

When he climbed up the slope, he saw the corpses of the three dogs lying on the hillside, with blood everywhere around them.

The old man, who had just celebrated his fifty-ninth birthday, searched for three days on several surrounding posts alone with a gun on his back.

It wasn't until the third day that he shot the blind man to death.

Many people say that Xu Pao's sword is still young and he is almost sixty years old. He can still go into the mountains to kill bear gallbladders alone to make money.

But Zhao Jun heard Zhao Youcai say that Xu Changlin went to avenge his dogs.

If he really wanted to kill the bear for bile, why would he sell the dog? If you have a dog, you will earn more.

Therefore, Zhao Jun knew that Xu Changlin did not only love money but not dogs.

Arriving in the backyard, Xu Changlin handed the little flower dog into Li Baoyu's hands, and then said to the two of them: "Men, it's already late. I won't keep you here. Come back to my house another day."

Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu naturally knew that this was a way to see off guests, so they immediately said goodbye to Xu Changlin, and they left with their little flower dog.

This little flowery dog ​​was only half a year old. He didn't seem to understand what was happening and didn't struggle. However, he kept wagging his tail at Xu Changlin as he walked away.

Xu Changlin watched the two people and the dog disappear at the entrance of the courtyard, and then turned around and left the house.

When I entered the back room, I saw an old lady wearing a black cotton-padded jacket sitting on the kang wiping her tears.

"Why are you still crying? It's endless." Xu Changlin sat down by the kang and muttered, then picked up the vat on the kang table and took two sips of water.

The old lady said: "I have been raising it for so many years, so I sold it right away."

"Alas!" Xu Changlin sighed, took out all the money from his pocket, and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady pulled off the stacked money with her hands and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Old man, how much did you sell it for?"

Xu Changlin took another sip of water and said, "It's two hundred and eighty to pick a gang, and the flowers behind the house are for fifteen."

"How much?" the old lady exclaimed. Without even taking the money, she stood up and said, "You're selling three dogs for 280? You're selling them so many, how can they treat our dogs well?"

Xu Changlin let out a long breath and said, "Spend more money and he will know how to care for you."

The old lady was stunned when she heard this, and then she thought of the three dogs. She had fed and drank those dogs all these years, and now that the dogs were suddenly sold, the old lady felt empty in her heart.

Thinking of this, the old lady's eye circles turned red again. She wiped her eyes, picked up the money, turned around and put the money in the kang cabinet.

After she put down the money and turned around, she saw Xu Changlin sitting there blankly. Only then did she remember that her old man would be the most uncomfortable after selling the dog.

But old couples at this age don't know how to comfort each other.

The old lady just said: "Old man, please rest for a while. I'll cut some meat, make some vermicelli, and stew sauerkraut for you tonight."

Xu Changlin didn't say anything, just sat there.

The old lady got up and went to the outhouse to cook. After she went out, Xu Changlin lowered his head and murmured: "This time there is no need to keep the pickled cabbage soup for the dog."
