Chapter 400 Safe Zone
Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua were lying nearby, with medicine already applied on their bodies.
Several patches of dog hair were shaved off from Dahuang's belly, and two wounds were stitched with two stitches.
Zhao Yeqing felt so distressed that he rushed over to hug them. Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua had medicine on their bodies. Xiao Hei was too dark to see clearly, and Xiao Hua's fur was mixed in color to begin with, and now that the medicine had been applied, there were still blood stains on his body that had not been completely wiped off, making his fur look even more mixed in color.
Mu Xi gently touched Da Huang's uninjured back and said, "Fortunately, it's not particularly serious. Although the wound is deep, it didn't penetrate. I applied some medicine and fed them anti-inflammatory drugs. The weather is a bit hot and I'm afraid their wounds will get infected."
Da Huang seemed to be responding to Mu Xi's words, or seemed to agree with Mu Xi's words to comfort Zhao Yeqing. He whimpered twice and looked at her with wet eyes, but the injury and fatigue made his eyelids droop.
Zhao Yeqing touched its cheek and said, "Go to sleep. The pain will go away when you wake up."
The dogs all went to sleep, and the two walked out of the house. Zhao Yeqing looked solemn and puzzled, with a frown on his face:
"How could there be wolves? Why are there wolves in this grassland climate?"
There may be wolves in grasslands in both cold and tropical zones, but a pack of wolves actually appeared in this tropical rainforest, catching the two men off guard.
Mu Xi couldn't figure it out. The two hadn't been to the meadow for a while. The specific situation was unclear. The only thing he could think of was that the dogs suddenly came home to eat during this period...
"We both speculated that they returned home for dinner because they were tired of eating rabbits. Now that we think about it, it may be the appearance of wolves that caused the number of rabbits to decrease."
Zhao Yeqing also thought of this, so she felt particularly guilty today. Why didn't she realize it?
Although the climate in this mountain is not suitable for wolves to live in, the biological community is changing rapidly, and it will be very different after not seeing it for a while. They should not be so lax.
But if we keep an eye on them every day and they run onto the meadow, human safety will be a big problem, but the cattle and sheep have to be grazing.
When Zhao Yeqing thought of Dahuang and the others covered in blood, he couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, he made a decision.
"Let's fence off the area around our home."
The small hills next to the house are all surrounded by fences to protect the house, the grain fields and the nearby meadows. This way, we don’t have to go so far to graze the sheep, and safety is guaranteed within the fences.
Create a safe zone for them.
A few years ago, the two had the idea of fencing off the outside, but the area of their grain field was too large, and if they also had to add grassland for grazing, the required fence would be even longer. They didn't know how long it would take to really fence it off.
The construction time will not be short, and the key point is that a lot of materials are needed. From the felling of wood to the subsequent splitting and processing, it will take at least a month to complete.
In addition, if you really want to graze outside, the grain fields must be fenced off so that the cattle and sheep can graze without destroying the grain crops.
Such a serious accident had never happened before, and both of them were hoping for luck. But when it really happened today, they saw the dogs covered in blood and realized that if an accident really happened, neither of them could bear the consequences.
You can't be lazy and no family member should be in trouble.
Zhao Yeqing was the one who stuck his head out and fired today. She clearly saw the human-like eyes of the wolf pack leader.
Unlike the she-wolf that came for revenge before, the eyes of the female wolf were filled with ferocity and hatred for revenge, and she had no choice but to fight to the death due to hunger and cold.
This wolf is obviously more cunning now. As soon as it saw something wrong, it ran away without any desire to fight.
On the surface, he was beaten away, but this assessment of the situation made her even more afraid.
It is imperative to build a fence. In any case, the grass grows fast in the current climate. There are four fewer sheep in the family all of a sudden, and the grass surrounded by hills near the house will be enough for them to eat in a short time.
The two spent an entire afternoon planning, and finally decided to go all out and expand the fence to the outside of the nearby hill.
There must be such terrain in the encirclement. It doesn't matter for sheep, but not for goats. They love to run and jump up and down the hills. The terrain for survival is too single and restrictive, which can easily make them depressed.
Just like the bunk bed I built on the wall for my clouded leopard at home.
Anyway, this extra distance is not a big problem. We have already built it for such a long distance, so this little bit of difference doesn’t matter.
Fortunately, they were wolves, so the height of the wall they built did not need to be too high. The vertical jumping height of a wolf was only about one meter. After subtracting the wolf's height, more than two meters was enough.
It is not known whether the wolves that came back this time were the descendants of the wolves that ran away before and new members that developed from them, or whether they were new wolves. It really taught the two of them a profound lesson.
The extreme cold killed the wolves, and when the weather warmed up, the jackals were driven away. The two men lived in peace here for so long that they almost forgot that neither of them was the owner of this meadow.
This place belongs to all animals, and if you are not careful, you will become food.
The pickup truck transports wood to the house in trips. With this truck and an electric saw, obtaining materials is much easier than before.
When Mu Xi had almost filled up the open space outside the backyard, Da Huang was finally able to stand up.
Its injuries were quite serious and the wound almost got infected. Zhao Yeqing took care of the three dogs at home. She only went out to help unload the wood and smelt the metal when they were sleeping.
When Mu Xi transported the wood back, he also brought back a lot of metals he had seen in the tourist area, as well as metal benches he had seen on the side of the path in the woods. After smashing them into small pieces, he asked Zhao Yeqing to melt them into molten iron at home.
There were not many ready-made nails at home for nailing wooden boards, and he was reluctant to use them. These nails were much more delicate than the ones they made themselves, which were only used for nailing wooden boards. If he made furniture again in the future, he would have to use these nails.
Most of the iron wire used to make grass circles on the meadow has rusted, and those that can still be used have been collected for secondary use.
There is no need for hay circles on the meadow now. The current climate is much more effective than two people spreading seeds.
After almost recovering, Dahuang was finally able to go out of the house to get some fresh air, but he was still not allowed to run and jump. He felt suffocated and could only lie in the yard every day, watching Zhao Yeqing smelting molten iron next to the red-hot furnace not far away.
Once the nails were ready and the wood was sawn into boards and pillars, the two men's safe zone could finally be built.
