At 3:30 AM, Chen Zhen and Yang Ke, along with their two big dogs, had already quietly climbed up a small hill near the Black Stone Mountain. The two horses were tied with cowhide horse trips and placed in a hidden place behind the mountain. Erlang and Huanghuang were both hunters, so they must be in the mood to hunt early in the morning. The two dogs crouched on the snow without making a sound and looked around vigilantly. The clouds covered the moonlight and starlight. The dark grassland was unusually cold and terrifying. There were only the two of them in a radius of dozens of miles. At this moment, the wolves were at their most aggressive. Not far away, the black stone mountain was like a group of giant beast stone sculptures pressing down on the two of them, causing Chen Zhen to feel a chill down his back. He began to worry about the two horses behind him, and also became afraid of his own risky actions.
Suddenly, a wolf's howl came from the northeast, spreading all over the dark grassland valley. The lingering sound was like a flute and a spring, long and desolate. A few minutes later, the wolf's howl gradually faded away, and a dog's bark came from the quiet grassland in the distance. The two dogs next to Chen Zhen remained silent. They both knew the rules of hunting. At night, they had to bark and roar, and when they went up the mountain to hunt, they had to hold their breath. Chen Zhen put one hand into the fur under Erlang's front leg to keep warm, and the other hand wrapped around its neck. Before setting off, Yang Ke had fed them half full. The hunting dogs could not be too full or too hungry. If they were full, they would have no fighting spirit, and if they were hungry, they would have no physical strength. The food had already taken effect in the dog's body. Chen Zhen's hands quickly warmed up. He could even use his warm hands to warm the dog's cold nose. Erlang gently wagged his tail. With this wolfhound by his side, Chen Zhen felt a little more at ease.
After a few days and nights of torment, Chen Zhen was already exhausted. The night before, Yang Ke found a few good young herdsmen and invited them to dig out the wolf's den. However, they did not believe that there was a wolf's den on the Black Stone Mountain. No one was willing to wake up early with them and urged them not to go. In a fit of anger, the two decided to go up the mountain alone. At this moment, there were only his two dogs by his side. They were all alone and did not have any aura or prestige.
Yang Ke hugged Huanghuang tightly and whispered to Chen Zhen," Ai, even Huanghuang was a little scared. It was trembling non-stop, perhaps because it smelled the wolf's scent…
Chen Zhen patted Huanghuang's head and whispered," Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's almost dawn. Wolves are afraid of people during the day. We still have horse poles.
Chen Zhen's hand also trembled slightly with Huanghuang's body, but he pretended to be calm and said," I think we're like special agents, going deep into enemy territory and pulling teeth from wolves. I'm not sleepy at all now.
Yang Ke also emboldened himself and said,"Fighting a wolf is a battle of strength, energy, wisdom, and courage. In addition to the beauty trap, you have to use any strategy."
Chen Zhen said,"Don't be careless. I don't think the thirty-six stratagems are enough to deal with wolves."
Yang Ke said,"That's true. What are we doing now?"-- Using the clue that the female wolf had returned to the cave to feed her milk to find the wolf cave was not one of the 36 strategies. The old father was really full of tricks. This move was really bad.
Chen Zhen said,"Who asked the wolf to kill so many horses?" Father was also forced by the wolves. This time, I went with him to trap the wolves. I found out that he hadn't trapped the wolves for several years. The old man never killed the wolves.
The sky was getting lighter. The Black Stone Mountain no longer looked like a stone sculpture beast. It gradually revealed the original appearance of a huge rock. The light from the east slowly shone through the thin clouds onto the grassland, and the line of sight became wider and wider. The man and the dog were stuck tightly to the snow. Chen Zhen looked around with a monocular. The earth's atmosphere was very heavy, and the camera lens was vast. He was very worried that if the female wolf quietly returned to the cave under the cover of the earth qi, the man and the dog would have frozen for nothing. Fortunately, the earth qi quickly dispersed and turned into a thin and transparent mist that floated on the grass. If an animal walked by, it would alert the ground fog and expose itself.
Suddenly, Huanghuang turned its head to the west. Its mane stood up, and its whole body tensed up. It crawled to the west, and Erlang also turned his head to the west. Chen Zhen immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly aimed the camera at the meadow in the west. At the foot of the mountain, a large stretch of dry yellow reeds grew in the depression at the junction of the hillside and the meadow, extending northeast along the foot of the mountain. This was the wolf's favorite place. It was hidden and leeward. It was the "green gauze tent" that wolves relied on to carry out guerrilla warfare with people in the grasslands. Old man Billig often said that the reeds were the places where wolves moved, hid, and slept in the winter and spring. It was also the hunting ground for hunters and hounds to hunt wolves. Huanghuang and Erlang might have heard the sound of wolves stepping on withered reeds. The time was right, and the direction was right. Chen Zhen thought that the female wolf must be returning to its nest. He carefully searched the edge of the reeds, waiting for the wolf to come out. The old man had said that the reeds were low-lying and would accumulate water when the snow melted in spring. Wolves would not dig holes there. Wolf dens were usually high up, where water could not reach. Chen Zhen thought that as long as the wolf came out, its nest must be on the nearby hillside.
The two dogs suddenly stared at a dry reed and stopped moving. Chen Zhen quickly looked in the direction the dogs were staring at, and his heart suddenly jumped. A large wolf poked half of its body out of the reeds and looked around. The two dogs immediately lowered their heads and stuck their chins to the ground. The two of them tried their best to lie down. The wolf looked at the hillside carefully, then jumped out of the reeds and ran northeast to a ravine. Chen Zhen had been following the wolf with his binoculars. This wolf looked a little similar to the female wolf he saw last time. The wolf ran very fast but also very laboriously. It must have stolen some sheep at night and eaten very well. He thought that if there was only one wolf here today, then he would not have to be afraid. Two people and two dogs, especially Jiro, would definitely be able to deal with this female wolf.
The mother wolf climbed up a small slope. Chen Zhen thought that as long as he saw which direction it ran in, he could determine the approximate location of the wolf cave. But at that moment, the wolf suddenly stopped at the top of the hill, turned around, looked east, looked west, and then looked in the direction where the man and the dog were lurking. The two of them were so nervous that they did not dare to breathe. The wolf was already standing much higher than the reeds. It could not see people in the reeds, but it should be able to see them from this small slope. Chen Zhen deeply felt that he lacked actual combat experience. When the wolf ran towards the hillside just now, they and the dog should have retreated a few meters. Who would have thought that the wolf would be so suspicious? The wolf stretched its front body nervously to make itself taller, and once again verified the enemy it had discovered. It anxiously turned around twice, hesitated for a moment, and then turned its head to the gentle slope on the east side of the hillside. In a short while, it ran to a cave entrance and plunged into it.
Good! There was a way! Now, we can take care of the big wolf and the small wolf. Yang Ke clapped his hands and shouted.
Chen Zhen also stood up excitedly and said, Quickly, get on the horse.
The two dogs jumped around Chen Zhen, panting anxiously as they asked their master for the password. Chen Zhen was so flustered that he actually forgot to give the dog a password. He hurriedly pointed his finger at the wolf hole and shouted,"Chirp!" The two dogs immediately flew down the mountain and headed straight for the wolf cave on the eastern slope. The two of them also ran down the mountain, untied the horse's trip, held the saddle and identified the stirpers, and mounted the horse with the pole. They galloped towards the wolf cave. The two dogs had already run to the entrance of the wolf cave and were barking wildly at the cave. When the two of them ran closer, they saw Erlang rushing into the hole like a mad dog, retreating, retreating, and rushing in again, but he did not dare to rush too deep. Huanghuang stood at the entrance of the cave and cheered. It kept digging, causing snow and dirt to fly everywhere. The two of them got off their horses and ran to the cave entrance to take a look. They were really shocked. In an egg-shaped hole with a diameter of 70 to 80 centimeters, the female wolf was crazily attacking and defending, biting the thick Erlang Ding that had rushed into the hole out of the hole. She even stuck out half of her wolf body and fought desperately with the two dogs.
