The medium and large carnivores that this safe zone can prevent are wolves.
The tigers I encountered before were impossible to guard against. Tigers can jump up to three meters vertically, and the same goes for jackals.
The elephant is even more unstoppable.
Zhao Yeqing was really a little afraid of the wolf who was obviously more intelligent this time. The threat was too great. If the fence was really built to more than three meters, the materials and man-hours required would increase exponentially, and she was afraid that she would not be able to make it in time.
Anyway, the length of the wooden pillar in the middle is more than three meters, but the wooden board connecting it is only more than two meters high. It can be made higher when there is time. After all, the main threat at present is the wolf pack.
Grazing is not allowed during this period. The silage at home is almost exhausted. The fermented corn straw harvested last time has not been fully fermented. The fence is halfway done, and Zhao Yeqing still has to find time to harvest the planted grass and not use it. Used as feed, it is thrown directly into the cattle and sheep pens for feeding.
Zhao Yeqing lamented that Xiaohong, the most worry-free animal in the family, eats grass. Every day he goes out to graze nearby. When he is full, he returns to the yard and waits for Zhao Yeqing to take it back.
Nor will they go into food fields to eat crops.
Mu Xi smiled and said, "It doesn't like to eat sweet potato vines. You can release it when you plant corn and wheat next time and see if it eats it."
Also, now there are only sweet potatoes left in the family's food plot, and the pasture has also been harvested, leaving only a short section waiting to grow for the second crop, and Xiaohong can't eat it even if she wants to.
Mu Xi built a fence around the nearby hills every day. Xiao Huang lay on the top of the hill to watch the wind. When he saw something was wrong, he stood up and barked to alert Mu Xi.
In just ten days, the wolves showed up twice nearby.
The uneasiness in Zhao Yeqing's heart slowly expanded.
Although the number of wolves this year is not large, except for the one that was killed by Da Huang last time, there are still six wolves left.
The number of wolf groups is basically not too large, ranging from five or six to more than a dozen. Only in extreme conditions such as Northern Europe will there be a group of dozens of wolves. We have seen it in film and television works in the past. The idea of dozens of wolves at every turn is pure nonsense.
The wolf group consists of a male wolf and a female wolf plus their own children and grandchildren. Occasionally, they will absorb some other lone wolves, but most of them are related.
It is an animal that pays great attention to the family system.
Therefore, they are very united and very vindictive, and must be protected.
Dahuang and the others were injured. Before the fence was built, if they encountered a pack of wolves outside their home, the two of them would not be able to fight them even with guns.
The two of them built the fence as quickly as possible, starting from the direction of the meadow, one person in one direction, and finally finishing outside the broad-leaved forest.
During this time, there was the sound of hammering nails and hammering wooden piles near my home.
After a month of construction, there was finally only a distance of less than 100 meters left.
Both of them are obviously one degree darker than a month ago. Fortunately, they now have enough electricity. Otherwise, they would have to boil water and plants to take a shower when they go home in a stinking sweat at night.
But I didn't expect that an accident would happen just a hundred meters away.
After the fence near the meadow was successfully built, the two moved the camera to the hill behind the fence to overlook the meadow below.
On the night the fence was built next to the mountain, I saw footage of wolves outside the fence on the camera.
Zhao Yeqing had been on tenterhooks for half a month, but she never waited for the wolves to attack. Just when she thought the wolves were about to give up, she suddenly saw their shining eyes in the broad-leaf forest.
The two of them thought that it was almost finished today, so they hurriedly worked on it for a while, striving to finish it in two days.
The sky was now gray and dim, and the green eyes that lit up scared Zhao Yeqing's hands to soften, and the hammer fell to the ground, hitting the wooden board on the ground, and making a sudden sound outside the silent forest——
'state! '
The wolves paused in response, but their eyes looked at the two of them without any evasion. The next second, they moved away and let the leader of the wolves walk forward slowly. Zhao Yeqing couldn't see clearly, but it clearly appeared in his mind. There was a wolf look in his eyes that day.
Wild and indifferent, in its eyes there is no fear of humans, creatures that have fallen from the top of the food chain, only the desire and determination to win prey.
There was no killing intent in his eyes, it was more like looking at dead prey.
A chill ran down the two people's backs involuntarily, and a long wolf howl sounded at the edge of the forest. The four dogs moved upon hearing the sound, with threatening grunts in their throats. In a few breaths, they crossed two dogs from the yard. The man stood in front and lowered his body, trying to scare the wolves from taking another step forward.
There is a light bulb hanging on the side of the wall, which the two people pulled over temporarily for construction. The light here is bright, while the light in the forest opposite is dim. In contrast, their goal here is as obvious as if they are inviting the other side to come over for dinner.
Zhao Yeqing slowly squatted down, picked up the hammer that fell on the ground, and calculated their side's chances of winning.
There is no shotgun at hand now, only tools for building a fence. The two of them plus four dogs, three of whom have just recovered from injuries.
The odds of winning are really not that great.
Zhao Yeqing's squatting action obviously stimulated the wolves. The wolves behind the wolf king raised their paws and then lowered them, pacing in place for a few steps. Their offensive behavior was already very obvious.
At the moment when the wolves were scurrying up, the two of them climbed up the wall in unison.
The wooden wall is untenable, but there are tall wooden pillars connecting several sections of wooden boards. In order to facilitate the subsequent construction of the wall, the height of these wooden pillars is more than three meters. As long as the wolf climbs up, it will not touch it at all. Less than two people.
But in this case, there will be only four dogs left to fight against the wolves.
Zhao Yeqing did not climb up the wooden pillar, but just stood on the wooden wall, raised the hammer in his hand high, and gave the leaping wolf's head a hard blow.
The hammer just hit the wolf's eye, and the wolf let out a cry of pain. It fell to the ground and shook its head back and forth. A stream of bright red blood flowed from the brow bone.
This was the first wolf to be injured as soon as it pounced. The wailing cry attracted the attention of the wolf king. The wolf king, who had been standing still, pounced on Zhao Yeqing.
This leap was ten centimeters higher than the gray wolf just now, and almost bit Zhao Yeqing's leg. She hurriedly hugged the wooden pillar and moved around the wooden wall to avoid the attack.
The weapon in Mu Xi's hand was a stone sledgehammer. The front hammer head used to knock wooden pillars into the ground weighed dozens of kilograms. The wooden handle was longer than his arm. He caught the attacking wolf and pounced on it. It flew away in an instant.
He turned his head to look at Zhao Yeqing, who was being entangled by the Wolf King. He was about to jump off the wall to help, but five pairs of shining eyes appeared in the forest next to him.
