Chapter 399 Good Dog
The two of them took action immediately when they saw a dog rushing into the yard.
There was no need for communication. More than seven years of living experience in the mountains allowed the two men to react instantly. They picked up their weapons, rushed out the door and got into the car.
The two men looked serious and calm, but when Zhao Yeqing got into the car, he could still clearly hear his own heartbeat, which was as heavy as a drum and at an extremely high frequency.
The dog that came back to report the news was Xiao Huang. The two found that it was the fastest among the dogs when they were hunting. Mu Xi had specially trained it in his spare time before, using the methods of a patrol dog.
Xiao Huang's fighting power is not as good as that of the other dogs, but his maximum speed can reach over 50 kilometers per hour, like a hound.
Xiao Huang ran out the moment the two men made a move. After getting in the car, they closed the door directly and stepped on the accelerator to catch up with Xiao Huang who was running wildly in front.
Zhao Yeqing felt his own heartbeat, opened the car window and leaned out to look forward, then shrank back after he could no longer see the sheep and other dogs.
"I must have encountered something." She frowned with worry and her breathing became rapid.
Mu Xi released one of Zhao Yeqing's hands from the steering wheel and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Zhao Yeqing didn't feel at ease after hearing this. The car had been driving for several minutes. After catching up with Xiao Huang, the speed of their car slowed down as it ran, and they could only follow behind it.
But we didn't see any cattle, sheep or other dogs along the way.
She couldn't help but blame herself. During this period, neither of them had been accompanying the dogs out to graze. In the past, they would at least go out once or twice every few days to check on the condition of the meadow, but recently they had let them go out on their own for nearly a month.
The meadow had been peaceful for so long that the two of them almost forgot about the dangers lurking in the dark.
The dogs' vigilance also decreased, and they walked further and further away with the grazing cattle and sheep.
After Zhao Yeqing calmed down, he kept thinking about what it could be, but he couldn't figure it out.
After the car kept turning and went around two small hills, Mu Xi saw the animals fighting in the distance, then he stepped on the accelerator and rushed over.
The moment the group of familiar gray animals appeared, both of them couldn't help but feel angry!
Why is it haunting me?
Zhao Yeqing had already cocked the gun in his hand, and he fired directly at the wolves that were advancing in front of him, regardless of whether he could hit them or not.
The gunshots scared the wolves that were rushing forward. This time the leader of the wolf pack was different from the previous times. After hearing the gunshots, he ran away with the pack of wolves without any desire to fight.
Mu Xi stepped on the accelerator to stop the car, and the moment it stopped, Zhao Yeqing opened the door and jumped out. When he saw the bright red blood on the dogs' fur, he couldn't help but tears rolled down.
All the dogs were injured, but Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua were still able to move. They walked over with staggering steps, whimpering.
He opened his mouth, bit the trouser leg of Zhao Yeqing, who was standing there in a daze, and tried to drag him forward.
Zhao Yeqing's whole body froze and tears fell from his eyes as he looked at Dahuang lying on the ground, unable to stand up, his body covered in glaring red blood.
He dragged his feet over, and when he got closer, he realized that his stomach was still heaving. He probably smelled Zhao Yeqing's scent. Da Huang opened his tightly closed eyes, stuck out his tongue the moment he saw her, and tried to wag his tail behind him...
Zhao Yeqing's heart was broken, and he trembled to find his voice: "Mu Xi! Come quickly!"
Mu Xi got out of the car and made sure that the wolves had run away, then walked over to check on Da Huang's injuries.
I gently touched Dahuang's belly, where the blood was the heaviest. The yellow hair had been soaked in blood and had all coagulated together.
His hands were shaking unconsciously. After a careful examination, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the grass, and held Zhao Yeqing's hand.
"Don't worry, its stomach is fine. There are a few deep wounds, but fortunately they are not penetrating. Most of the blood is not from it. It must be exhausted." Mu Xi put his hand to Dahuang's mouth, and Dahuang licked the palm of his hand with his tongue.
He turned his palm to rub his head: "Good dog!"
"Woof!"
Mu Xi carefully carried the dog into the car, and the other two dogs, whose injuries were not serious, jumped in by themselves.
Zhao Yeqing looked around. Just now, he only noticed the dogs in his house, and didn't pay much attention to the sheep and cows. Now he noticed a wolf's corpse on the ground and two sheep's corpses not far away.
The remaining sheep and cattle had been scared away and had to be found again.
Mu Xi closed the back door, and Zhao Yeqing said, "Send them back first, I'll go get the cattle and sheep."
"No, it's too dangerous for you to be alone."
Zhao Yeqing looked at the traces of grass nearby and said, "The sheep are running in the direction of home, which is different from the direction the wolves just evacuated. I'm holding a gun and Xiao Huang, so I'll be fine. Leave the electric car in the trunk to me, and I'll be back soon."
Dahuang's injury cannot be delayed. Mu Xi is much more professional than Zhao Yeqing in treating wounds, so he has to do this.
The cattle and sheep on the meadow must also be retrieved. If we delay any longer, there will probably be nothing left.
Mu Xi knew that what she said made sense, so he picked up the gun, loaded it with bullets, and handed it to her, "Be careful, I'll come pick you up as soon as possible."
After seeing Mu Xi off, Zhao Yeqing followed the traces of trampled plants on the meadow and searched along the way.
The traces were all very uniform, indicating that the sheep were not scattered, but no one knew where they ran to and hid behind some hill.
A few minutes later, a voice came from the intercom:
"Go towards home, a little to the south. I think I saw some cows nearby."
Zhao Yeqing listened to Mu Xi's description and rode his bike to the location. As expected, he saw that the herds of cattle and sheep were all behind the mountain, led by a few mixed-breed sheep, which were now grazing in the swamp.
Walking over slowly, the flock of sheep made a commotion for a while, but then they quieted down again when they saw that it was Zhao Yeqing and Xiao Huang.
She counted the number of sheep and found that four were missing in total, in addition to the two that had fallen on the meadow before, two more were missing. However, there were no missing cattle.
After searching the area for a while without finding the target, Zhao Yeqing didn't dare to stay there any longer and drove his sheep and cattle back home.
When I got home, the gate was closed.
The gate of the courtyard has a bolt, a latch and a lock. Now the gate is locked. Mu Xi is probably afraid that the wolves will attack him by surprise. Zhao Yeqing took out the key from the small box nailed to the door and opened the lock.
Anyway, this lock is for preventing animals, not people, so it doesn't matter if it is placed at the door.
After driving the cattle and sheep inside and bolting the door, Zhao Yeqing washed his hands and couldn't wait to go into the house.
Dahuang was lying on a small mat on the first floor of the brick house. Before she opened the door, he started wagging his tail just by hearing the footsteps of Zhao Yeqing.
