Journey to the West: I am entertaining in Datang

Zhao Shi is young and energetic, so he is not afraid of these things.

He knew that fox fur could be sold at a good price, so he often set traps and set up iron clips to catch red foxes, and he got some gains.

However, the red fox is indeed scheming and difficult to deal with.

One winter night, Zhao Shi took his hounds to the woods to hunt.

After running for a long time, the hunting dog found a big red fox, and it hurriedly chased after it.

Unexpectedly, the red fox did not run into the depths of the woods, but turned a corner, left the woods, and fled westward along a small river.

Ice had formed on the surface of the river, but it was not thick. I saw the red fox pretending to flash towards the center of the river, and the hound jumped onto the ice.

It was too late, but it was too late, the red fox turned around and came ashore again, but the hound didn't stop, only heard a "click", the ice cracked, and the hound fell into the river.

Another time, when the sun was about to set, Zhao Shi dug a few traps at several key crossings, trying to let the wild beasts fall into the trap.

Unexpectedly, the big red fox saw it again, and it followed Zhao Shi surreptitiously to every trap, emitting a stench from a small hole at the base of its tail, leaving its own trace, so that its accomplices would know : Be careful, there is danger under the leaves here.

Zhao Shi ran around for three days and found nothing.

Zhao Shi began to pay attention to this big red fox, and he made up his mind to catch it.

Another winter, heavy snow fell for three days.

Zhao Shi reckoned that the red fox had nowhere to hunt and would come to the village again.

At that time, there were still five big fat chickens in his chicken coop. In order to protect them from being violated, Zhao Shi placed eight iron clips carefully designed by himself around them.

These iron clips form a series of loops, as long as one of them is touched, the other seven will bounce up, spread out a nylon mesh, and cover the "thief", no matter what, they will not be able to escape.

A few days later, late at night, Zhao Shi was awakened by the sound of "cracking".

He quickly got up, put on his coat and ran out the door.

I saw something jumping on the snow next to the chicken coop.

Needless to say, it must be a chicken thief.

Zhao Shi hurried up, took off his coat and threw himself on the prey.

Based on experience, he concluded that it was a big red fox.

In order to subdue this guy as soon as possible, Zhao Shi exerted all his strength and slammed the prey on the head.

After a while, the red fox disappeared.

Only then did Zhao Shi run to the house to get a flashlight, took the dead red fox out of the net and carried it to the warehouse.

The next day, the whole family was excited about catching a big red fox.

The fiery red fox hair and the complete fox fur will definitely sell for a lot of money in the market!

Zhao Shi was also very happy in his heart. He could tell from the bones of the red fox that this red fox was the big red fox he wanted to hunt down.

He had to take the fur off the red fox well.

Zhao Shi spread out a pile of straw on the threshing ground outside the door, put the big red fox on it, and carefully disemboweled it.

At this time, the hound came and barked at the big red fox.

Zhao Shi hurriedly took out the red fox's heart, gave it a reward, and said, "I avenged you for falling into the water, go away!"

Usually, Zhao Shi skins a rabbit or fox with a cigarette in his mouth, and the skin is finished when there is a small piece of cigarette butt left.

This time, he smoked three full cigarettes before peeling off the red fox's fur completely.

He stretched the fox fur with a bamboo stick and measured it with a ruler. Hey, it was two feet and eight inches wide!

Zhao Shi didn't dare to put this shiny red fox fur outside in the sun.

He hung the fox skins to dry on bamboo poles and carried them to the balcony of his small building, letting the sun dry and the wind blow like a flag.

After finishing this important matter, Zhao Shi ordered his wife to cook a large pot full of red fox meat, and invite some good friends from the neighbors to drink.

Everyone ate and chatted until the moon hung over the treetops, and the table was still there.

Suddenly, a howl pierced the night sky, alarming the guests at the table.

Zhao Shi stood up abruptly, took off the shotgun from the wall and said, "It's a red fox, I'll shoot it again for you to try."

After speaking, he opened the door and ran out.

A few partners stood up with the help of alcohol, and went out with them.

Not long after they ran, they smelled a strange smell, and there were miserable screams in their ears from time to time.

Everyone widened their eyes and saw stars twinkling on the snow in the cold wind. They were the eyes of red foxes.At a glance, there are more than 200 red foxes!

"Not good, is the red fox coming for revenge?"

I don't know who called out.The hairs on people's bodies were all standing on end, and they were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

"What are you afraid of, let me beat ten or eight of them!"

Zhao Shi raised his gun and pointed it at the "star" in front of him.

His wife stopped him and said, "Don't shoot! There are so many red foxes coming to your door, and they are all aggressive. It is definitely not a good sign."

People's astonishment and discussion affected people in the neighborhood.

They also gathered around, seeing the restless red fox all over the ground, they were terrified.After discussing with each other, they sent a representative to Zhao Shi and said, "It's strange, I'm over 60 years old, and I've never seen so many red foxes gathering. I'm afraid the visitors are not kind!"

(To be continued)

Chapter 1153 Is it you?

These people shook their heads and said, "From our point of view, although they are animals, I'm afraid they understand a kind of friendship. They must come here today to beg for fox fur. I think you'd better return the fox fur to them!"

Zhao Shi didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "There is no such thing in the world! If they understand this principle, they will become immortals!"

The old people said one after another: "You can't say that. There are many things in the world that we don't understand! Elephants can take revenge, ants can gather, not to mention these tricky foxes!"

Someone said: "Perhaps, it was the leader of the red fox who killed today. They saw that the leader was dead, and they made trouble together!"

When Zhao Shi's wife heard this, she was afraid of getting into trouble, and also worried that public anger would not happen.

Maybe something unlucky will happen to Murakami in the future.It would be bad if people would attribute the cause to today's incident.

After thinking about it, she persuaded her husband: "Zhao Shi, you should return the fox fur to them according to the old man's advice!"

Zhao Shi bowed his head and remained silent.An old man persuaded again: "Zhao Shi, just try it, throw the fox fur to them.

It would be a good thing, too, if they got fox fur and would disperse.

If they don't want fox fur, you throw it on the snow, and it will still be yours later, so just pick it up, it won't break anyway. "

Zhao Shishi thought, this makes sense.

He went back upstairs, took off the red fox fur that was fluttering in the cold wind, ran to a place not far from the red fox, and threw the rolled red fox fur out forcefully like throwing a grenade.

"Hula——" the red fox fur fell among the foxes, turned a few somersaults, and lay flat on the snow.

When the red foxes saw something being thrown over, they scattered in all directions.

When the red fox fur fell to the ground, it rushed up again, forming a big circle around the big fox fur.

After a while, a slightly bigger red fox came to the middle of the circle, circled around the fox fur silently, and then slowly returned to the group of foxes.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, imitating the appearance of the first red fox in an orderly manner, they walked to the center of the circle and circled around the fox fur.As if saying goodbye to the big red fox.

People stood not far away, watched quietly, and let out soft exclamations.

Suddenly, I don't know which red fox, let out a sharp and angry scream, and then, the red foxes rushed to the crowd, and the blood flowed like a river!

And another story:

It is said that there is a red fox in the mountains, a red fox that has lived for a long time.

Someone described it like this: the guy's hair was red all over, and he disappeared in a flash on the Eagle Cliff, and his speed was very fast, like a red lightning bolt.

Someone else described it like this: its red hair is so pure, without any variegation.

It also appeared in Shenxigou, but disappeared in a flash.

Speaking of the red fox, people's eyes are full of greed.That fur is worth a lot of silver!

Only Mr. Gangzi said: "How can there be a red fox in the mountains? Ball! Crazy about money!"

Master Gangzi guards the mountain.

The two wooden houses in Songlinpo are his home.

A shotgun hanging on the wooden board has long been rusted.

The weather in the morning was fine, the sunlight seeped through the branches of the forest, and cast a strange speck of light on the ground.

There is a small flat area in front of the house, a wooden chair, Mr. Gang is sitting on the chair, and there is a large jar of Kudingcha on the ground beside his feet.

A few squirrels were running around in the woods, and a gray rabbit was gnawing grass under a pine tree.

A sheep, some chickens, two geese, and a big yellow dog.This is the day of Mr. Gangzi.

From time to time, people would come to Mr. Gangzi’s wooden house with a shotgun holster, and they only cared about one question: Have you ever seen a red fox?

Master Gangzi felt very annoyed, and said, "What a red fox in the ball? I don't know what's going on in this mountain?"

But no one believed Mr. Gang, they all said that there must be a beautiful red fox in the mountains.

Song Guo came the most. Many years ago, Song Guo learned to hunt from Mr. Gangzi, who was the best hunter in this mountain at that time.

Ke Songuo just learned how to set the cloth trap and gave up learning it. He opened a game restaurant in the town under the mountain, and last year, he opened a leather goods store.

Song Guo's eyes turned green when he talked about the red fox, and he asked Mr. Gang to clean up the dog with him. Mr. Gang has rich experience, and the dog can't beat Mr. Gang.

Song Guo said: "Master! As long as you catch that dog, you will be comfortable for the rest of your life."

Master Gang gave him a hard look and said, "How can there be a red fox? I think you are crazy!"

Song Guo stopped begging Mr. Gang, he didn't believe that he couldn't catch that dog.

"Master!" Mr. Gang was spreading corn to feed the chickens when the pine cones came suddenly.Master Gang understood that the pine cones came for the red fox again today.

"You don't have enough money?" Master Gangzi said.

"Master! From what you said, how can there be enough money?" Song Guo said, and went deep into the forest.

Many years ago, pine cones were thin, but now, pine cones are fat.

Master Gang knew that Song Guo was going to set a cloth trap again.

Three months ago, Master Gang went down the mountain to visit the town.

The town is very lively, and Songguo's game restaurant has everything, such as roe deer meat, muntjac meat, wild boar, and wild chicken.

His fur shop was also booming. Those men and women threw handfuls of silver into his fur shop, and then wore wolf, fox, sheep, and hare skins on their bodies.

Master Gang doesn't like that small town where silver jingles.

Mr. Gangzi was very worried. One day, a red and beautiful leather product would really appear in Songguo's fur shop.

For lunch, Mr. Gang distilled two pieces of corn tortillas and ate them with a bowl of vegetable soup.

He knew that the pine cone had gone down the mountain, so he took the big yellow dog to the depths of the forest.

The tricks of Song Guo and these half-baked hunters could not escape the eyes of Master Gang. From Songlin Slope to Eagle Cliff, Master Gang found six traps and three traps set by Song Guo and others.

There are two traps, one hare and one pheasant.

Master Gang put those traps and traps

Just a little fiddling and you're done.

Gang Ziye has one more place to go: Shenxigou.

He knew that the pine cone would definitely set a trap in that place.

In the emerald green, a ball of fiery red suddenly flashed, and there was a cry of "woo woo", looking very painful.

Master Gangzi saw the red fox that made many people salivate, its front left leg was clamped by the steel pliers of the cover!

When it was getting dark, Master Gang returned to the wooden house with the red fox in his arms.

Under the candlelight, Mr. Gang discovered that the red fox's leg was only wounded on the skin, and it was medicated and bandaged.
