Chapter 1954 Ventriloquism Destroys a Wolf Pack, Reincarnated as a Seventh-Rank Leaf
"Bang! Bang!" Li Baoyu raised his hand and fired two shots into the air.
After firing those two shots, Li Baoyu ran a few steps and came to the two dogs with his gun.
The direction a dog barks indicates the direction of danger, but it's unclear whether it's a person or something else approaching, so Li Baoyu can't just fire his gun in that direction.
Li Baoyu acted swiftly, buying time for the others in the Zhao family gang. Zhao Jun and the others stopped what they were doing. Those with pistols drew them, while those without ran towards the crooked tree with the semi-automatic pistol hanging from it.
The barking of the dog stopped abruptly when Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and the others took the semi-automatic rifle into their hands.
Deep in the woods, a wolf was running swiftly.
The wolf had a white mouth, white eyebrows, and mottled face. The fur on its back was also grayish-white, messy, rough, and dull, like it was wearing an old sheepskin coat.
This is an old wolf with a low status in the pack, often serving as a scout and guide.
At this moment, several of the Zhao family gang's armed men gathered together.
Holding a gun in one hand and a stick in the other, Zhao Jinhui said in a muffled voice, "What the hell? How did it get away?"
"Who knows?" Li Baoyu glanced at the loach beside his feet and said, "Anyway, it's not a wolf."
"How do you know?" Lin Xiangshun asked. Li Baoyu pointed at the loach and said, "This dog is a complete idiot. It cowers at the smell of a wolf."
At this point, Li Baoyu gestured towards Zhao Jun and said, "Yesterday, when I was with my brother leading this dog, I almost died of anger!"
Lin Xiangshun chuckled upon hearing this, tapped the loach's tail, which was tucked between its two hind legs, with the butt of his rifle, and said, "Didn't you see? It's terrified! It's only because there are so many of us, and it even has Mao Mao. Otherwise, do you think it wouldn't be trembling?"
"Ah..." Hearing Lin Xiangshun say this, Li Baoyu glanced at the cowardly-looking Mudfish, then looked at the woods ahead and said, "Then why did this wolf walk so fast today?"
“They’re either lone wolves or scouts.” Zhao Jun had spent his previous life in Russia and knew a bit about the habits of wolves. He looked around and then said to everyone, “Cover the wolves that weren’t carried out with grass, and then we’ll move to another spot.”
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback. Xing San quickly asked, "Kid, what were you thinking?"
"Let's find another spot and see if we can deal with these wolves." Zhao Jun slung his gun over his shoulder and said, "Otherwise, they keep coming and going, and we won't be able to get anything done in peace."
What Zhao Jun said makes sense. Just like when the dog barked, the ginseng carriers couldn't stop carrying the ginseng, and the ginseng-carrying pole carriers couldn't concentrate either.
Therefore, Zhao Jun's words were echoed by the crowd. Some packed up their things, while others pulled weeds to cover the wild ginseng that had been tied up.
After doing all this, Zhao Jun led everyone toward the shack where they had stayed the day before.
When they reached a point about 100 meters from the shack, the group stopped there and instead followed a side path down the river to an open area.
On the opposite bank of the river, there is an open area, a rocky beach.
Further along the rocky beach, there is a pine forest.
Once inside the forest, the Zhao family gang split into two groups. Xing San, Zhao Jinhui, Li Ruhai, and Ma Yang, along with Niqiu and Mao Mao, headed deeper into the forest.
The four men and two dogs walked about a mile and a half, tied the dogs to a tree, and then Zhao Jinhui tried to help Xing San up the tree.
"Fatty, don't worry about me, I can get up." Xing San said to Zhao Jinhui, "Can you get up?"
"Uncle, I'm not going," Zhao Jinhui said. "I'll bring this over to you old folks and children, and then I'll go back and fight alongside my brother Jun."
Hearing this, Xing San's lips twitched, but out of gratitude for Zhao Jinhui's kindness, the old man didn't discourage him.
Seeing that Xing San, Li Ruhai, and Ma Yang had all climbed the tree, Zhao Jinhui hurriedly left, holding a gun in one hand and a stick in the other.
“That chubby Hui-ge,” Ma Yang, perched on a tree, watched Zhao Jinhui’s departing figure and laughed, “He’s acting all high and mighty.”
"Heh, he wants to compete with my brother for the bodyguard position." Li Ruhai saw through Zhao Jinhui's thoughts.
"Oh dear!" Ma Yang looked away, leaned back against the tree branch behind him, and said, "I also want to be a guard. My brother-in-law doesn't even take me with him when he hunts wolves."
"Your brother-in-law isn't refusing to bring us, he's refusing to bring the dog," Xing San interjected. The old man immediately sensed something was amiss and quickly added, "If he's planning an ambush, with the dog nearby, what's the point of fighting if the wolf comes and the dog howls?"
……
Xing San was right; Zhao Jun had already led his men to hide at the edge of the woods.
The seven men were arranged in a fan shape, all hiding behind trees, each holding a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.
A mountain breeze blew by, carrying the scent of pine needles into my nose.
Just as Zhao Jun was about to speak, he heard a panting sound coming from behind him.
Zhao Jun turned around and saw Zhao Jinhui running towards him, panting. He quickly waved to him and said, "Jinhui, don't rush."
Hearing Zhao Jun say this, Zhao Jinhui slowed down. But as soon as he relaxed, his breath dissipated, and he could no longer run. He immediately sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
Seeing Zhao Jinhui's expression, Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang, who was standing next to him, exchanged a smile. Wang Qiang smiled and gestured with his chin towards the edge of the woods. Upon seeing this, Zhao Jun immediately held his gun upright beside him, then clasped his hands together, covering his mouth with the gap formed by his two thumbs.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jun made a sound, which came from his hands: "Gah... Gah..."
The sound was short and crisp, perfectly mimicking the call of a male roe deer.
Zhao Jun imitated the fourth tone, while Wang Qiang next to him covered his mouth with his right hand, pressing his index finger horizontally against his upper lip and the outside of his thumb against his chin, and then made a sound: "Mmm...mmm..."
The sound was sharp, soft, and drawn out—it was the call of a mother roe deer.
"Gah! Gah!" Zhao Jun interrupted twice, then the uncle and nephew both shut up.
After Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang finished their imitation, Zhang Yuanmin and Lin Xiangshun started imitating the sound of a roe deer: "Squeak... squeak..."
They strained their voices, making the sound crisp and rapid.
Although he had heard about Zhao Jun's plan before, Zhao Jinhui was still nearly stunned when he saw this scene. He got up from the ground, brushed the dirt off his backside, and went to Li Baoyu's side.
"Baoyu," Zhao Jinhui whispered in Li Baoyu's ear, "Jun Ge and the others are imitating him so well."
"What do you mean?" Li Baoyu laughed. "Where do male roe deer join groups in June?"
"Huh?" Zhao Jinhui didn't understand. He didn't know that male roe deer only join the group and live with female roe deer between mid-July and the end of August, which is the breeding season.
After mating, in late autumn, the male roe deer will leave the herd and live independently.
It's only the end of June, not the time when male roe deer return to their packs, but they should still be able to fool the wolf pack.
At this moment, in the grove where the Zhao family had carried the ginseng earlier, several gray wolves were walking briskly through the woods, their bodies low to the ground. As they ran quickly, they looked like several dark gray shadows floating in the forest.
Once inside the forest, the old wolf that had been leading the way stepped aside, while the alpha wolf pressed its nose to the ground, inhaling the lingering scent of the woods.
Suddenly, the alpha wolf's ears perked up in the direction the Zhao family gang had left, and it strode away.
The remaining nine wolves followed the alpha wolf, spreading out in a long line, without fighting or grabbing.
The alpha wolf didn't walk fast; it searched for the scent of Zhao Jun and the others as it went.
Just then, a faint sound was carried by the mountain wind, and the alpha wolf froze, its ears instantly pointing straight forward. It stood there listening intently, trying to determine whether the roe deer's call was from fright, courtship, or a weak cry from being alone.
If the alpha wolf can tell that the roe deer is healthy and making normal calls, it will never lead the pack to chase it, because a normal roe deer can easily outrun a wolf, and chasing it would be a waste of energy.
But it's different with roe deer cubs; wolves can catch them one by one. And judging from the calls of the male, female, and cub roe deer carried by the mountain wind, their calls are all slightly urgent, indicating that they have encountered some danger.
The alpha wolf let out a very short, muffled growl at its companions, and the pack immediately regrouped and followed the alpha wolf as it moved swiftly through the forest.
They weaved through the woods and headed straight for the riverbank.
Upon reaching the river fork, the alpha wolf still led the pack, while the other wolves formed a fan shape, ready to encircle them.
The river wasn't deep, and the wolves waded across the icy water to the rocky shore on the other side.
Suddenly, the calls of the roe deer in the opposite woods stopped abruptly. The alpha wolf paused for a moment, then darted out like an arrow.
A pack of wolves followed, each with a ferocious glint in its eyes.
"Bang! Bang!" Gunshots rang out, and two bullets, one from the left and one from the right, pierced through the body of the alpha wolf.
"Bang bang bang..." Half a second later, a series of rapid gunshots rang out, and the bullets poured out in a fan shape towards the wolf pack.
Before the wolves could even howl, they were riddled with bullets.
On the other side of the river, several jackals that had been chasing wolves saw this scene and scattered in all directions.
An old wolf was also fleeing with the jackal.
As the lowest-ranking member of the pack, the old wolf always lagged behind. But in terms of experience, even the alpha wolf couldn't match it. As they crossed the river ford, the old wolf sensed something was wrong, because it couldn't smell any roe deer.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, killing the alpha wolf, the old wolf lowered its body and quickly fled along the riverbank.
At this moment, on the rocky beach, nine gray wolves lay dead, and apart from the alpha wolf, there wasn't even a single intact corpse left.
Zhao Jun drew his gun and headed straight for the rocky beach. Upon arriving there, seeing the scattered limbs and broken bones, Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Hunting wolves is no easy task. Even if these wolves fall into the trap, only Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang in the Zhao family gang are confident they can kill the gray wolves. Zhang Yuanmin, Lin Xiangshun, and Ma Sheng have a higher chance of success. As for Li Baoyu, Xie Chen, and Zhao Jinhui, that's up to fate.
Therefore, Zhao Jun chose to use firepower to cover the enemy.
But this is the result of firepower coverage.
The Zhao family gang was invited by the Lushuihe Forest Farm to eliminate the wolf pack. After completing their mission, they should take the wolf carcasses back to report. If taking the carcasses is inconvenient, then taking the wolf pelts back is also acceptable.
But right now, apart from the alpha wolf, the other wolves can't be skinned anymore.
However, this did not deter Zhao Jun. He put away his gun, slung it over his shoulder, and called out, "Brother, Baoyu."
"Here!" Having just won a great victory, the Zhao family gang was in high spirits. Upon hearing Zhao Jun's call for generals, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu stepped forward.
"You two skin that whole thing." As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu were about to obey when Wang Qiang said to Zhao Jun, "Nephew, is one piece of skin enough to get by?"
“Uncle, we’re not going to hand in the hide.” Zhao Jun said, then squatted down, grabbed the back of the wolf carcass by the neck, lifted the dripping half of the corpse, and said, “Let’s chop it off and take it back to hand in.”
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, the members of the Zhao family gang busied themselves with tasks. But it was only then that they realized they had killed nine wolves.
When shooting, everyone aimed with one eye, and no one noticed that one of them had escaped.
At this point, Zhang Yuanmin raised a question: when Lushuihe had communicated with them before, he said there were ten wolves in the pack. Now nine are dead, could the other one have died beforehand?
"Then let's leave it at that." Zhao Jun waved his hand and said, "This is enough, it's sufficient to get things done."
Nine out of ten wolves die, and the remaining one, fighting alone, can't really cause any trouble.
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu had already skinned, gutted, and chopped off the mouth of the dead alpha wolf.
The two men threw the white wolf meat into the river and then came to report back to Zhao Jun.
"Okay." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Let's go back to the shack first, and then I'll ask Uncle San to make this braised pork. I've never had this meat before."
"Has anyone ever eaten this?" Wang Qiang chimed in, "We don't have this stuff where we're from."
“I doubt it’ll taste good,” Ma Sheng interjected. Zhang Yuanmin laughed and said, “Shengzi, whether it tastes good or not, it’s still meat.”
"Hehe, that's true." Ma Sheng replied with a smile, then frowned, turned to look at Lin Zi, and said, "Xiao Yang and the other two haven't come up yet?"
"Who knows?" Zhao Jinhui muttered.
As previously agreed, Xing San could come down from the tree and bring his dog to meet up with Zhao Jun and the others once he heard gunfire from this side.
"It's alright, no need to rush." Zhao Jun didn't take the matter to heart, and only said to Zhang Yuanmin, "Brother, look at that whole thing, is there any oil on it? If there is oil, cut it off and boil it into a lung."
Wolf oil is effective in treating lung diseases, including lung nodules.
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "Yes, brother, that Zhang San is quite fat, and he's got a lot of fat on him."
As soon as Zhang Yuanmin finished speaking, everyone heard a noise coming from the woods.
They turned around and saw Ma Yang running towards them with a look of urgency on his face.
Judging from Ma Yang's appearance, it's obvious that something's wrong.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Jun quickly asked loudly, "What's wrong, little brother?"
"Brother-in-law, something terrible has happened!" Ma Yang said this as soon as he came up, which made Zhao Jun frown. He thought to himself, "When did this kid pick up this habit from Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai? It's such a big problem right away."
However, at this moment, Zhao Jun remembered Xing San, who had stayed behind with Ma Yang and Li Ruhai, and his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Fool! Fool!" Ma Yang stared at Zhao Jun with wide eyes and shouted these two times.
"What a fool!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled. As long as it wasn't something bad, anything was fine.
"What kind of leaves?" Zhao Jun asked casually, and Ma Yang replied, "The key to opening the mountain."
Zhao Jun chuckled and said, "This isn't called a mountain, so what's this 'key to opening the mountain'? It's just two Jiazi (a Chinese unit of time)."
Hearing Zhao Jun say this, Wang Qiang and the others also laughed.
Just then, Ma Yang waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, what's this 'two Jiazi'? Li Ruhai brought his tools. He used that deer antler spoon to dig, and the stem was so long!"
When Ma Yang finished speaking, he gestured a distance with his hands, which startled Zhao Jun and the others.
The Zhao family has seen good things before, but judging from Ma Yang's gesture of the length of the rhizome, this ginseng seedling is second only to the seventh-grade leaf-crossing sea cucumber king they carried a while ago!
Sorry guys, I fell asleep yesterday...
