As a half-patrol dog, Ah Ying's strength does not lie in carrying loads.
It's like making a thoroughbred horse pull a cart; it's not even as fast as a mule. But if you make it run, ten mules can't keep up with the speed of a thoroughbred horse.
One person and two dogs walked about two or three miles, and the station was still halfway to the end.
By this time it was completely dark.
Wang Tianxiao's hands were a little sore, and since there was a rock nearby, he sat down on it to rest for a while.
Da Feng wasn't heavy, probably only around 30 kilograms. For someone as strong as Wang Tianxiao, carrying him for a short distance wouldn't be a problem.
But they couldn't withstand the long journey.
Let alone holding a dog, even just holding your arms outstretched for a while will get tiring.
Judging from Dafeng's appearance, it has recovered well. Its eyes are full of vitality again, and it no longer looks as aggrieved as it did when it was injured in the afternoon.
Wait a while and rest for ten minutes, it should be fine.
The big rock was icy cold. As soon as he sat on it, a chill ran from his bottom to his whole body. He shuddered, his nose became itchy, and he couldn't help but sneeze twice.
What's going on? Is someone talking about me?
He chuckled to himself.
Ten minutes later, he continued on his way.
After resting, his strength had recovered to about 70-80%, and he could walk much more easily. In less than 20 minutes, he was back at the station.
Once they reached the mountain ridge, they discovered that something was amiss.
It was already late, but the Wu brothers were anxiously guarding the mountain pass. Even Liu Yuan was squatting on the threshold smoking instead of staying in his room drinking wine with soybeans.
Wu Wenhua's wife, Mi Xiaohong, and Wu Qiancai's girlfriend, Shi Huanhuan, were also standing under the eaves watching this side.
Upon seeing Wang Tianxiao return, the two Wus hurriedly stepped forward to help him remove the dog and the pig leg from his body.
"What's wrong with the strong wind?" Wu Wenhua asked with concern.
"It got poked by a pig's testicle." Wang Tianxiao gently placed the dog on a large rock, patted its head, and seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, asked, "What happened? Where are Tiancheng and the others?"
"They haven't come back yet, boss. Weren't you together?"
Wu Wenhua was more anxious. He glanced at his wife, Mi Xiaohong, and his sister-in-law, Mi Xiaoqing, whom he had brought here. If something went wrong, how could he explain it to his mother-in-law's family?
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianxiao inwardly cried out in alarm.
He thought Wang Tiancheng and the others had already returned.
They went into the mountains to walk around the cage, which took them less than two hours. The three of them, along with a dog, and Wang Tiancheng was carrying an old-fashioned rifle, so there shouldn't have been any problems.
Has something else happened?!
That shouldn't be the case.
Before parting, I specifically told them not to look at the three cages on the outside, but to go to the inside, where the chance of encountering wild animals would be almost zero.
Even if some wild creature were to wander in, it probably wouldn't dare to confront three people, a dog, and a gun head-on.
Unless they encounter a pack of wolves or jackals.
But these guys wouldn't come to Yangziling East Peak in groups.
He turned to look at the vast mountains, pondered for a moment, then turned back to Liu Yuan and said, "Uncle Liu, Dafeng broke his ribs. Do you know how to set them?"
Wang Tianxiao was desperate and grasped at straws. When he saw Liu Yuancai, he thought that perhaps an old hunter like him could treat the hunting dog's injuries.
Liu Yuan tapped his pipe on the stone a few times, gently lifted Da Feng's leg, felt his ribs, nodded and said, "Three ribs are broken. I can try to set them, but this wound won't be treated like this. It needs stitches."
"Then... you can sew it, right?" Wang Tianxiao asked nervously.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yuan nodded: "I'll give it a try."
"Please, Uncle Liu."
Wang Tianxiao said gratefully, then turned and called to Aying, and they were about to go back into the mountains.
"Boss, let's go with you." Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai took a few steps forward.
“No need,” Wang Tianxiao shook his head. “The situation in the mountains at night is more complicated. You won’t be able to help much if you go in. I’ll have to protect you in a critical moment. Here, you just need to process these pig legs.”
Seeing Wang Tianxiao's words, Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai decided not to insist any further. Meanwhile, Mi Xiaohong held her sister-in-law's hand with concern. Although she didn't say anything, her actions already revealed her true feelings.
It is common knowledge among the people in the nearby villages that wild animals roam the mountains.
Almost every village experiences people being carried away or bitten by wild animals in the mountains every year, especially children and vulnerable women, who are more likely to become prey.
The thought of her younger sister possibly being in danger made Mi Xiaohong's legs go weak.
Without delay, Wang Tianxiao, without even going home to tell his wife, took the flashlight from Wu Wenhua and turned to step back onto the mountain shrouded in night.
"Boss, be careful."
"The mountain path is too dark, please watch your step."
Wang Tianxiao waved his hand behind him without turning back.
It has a kind of "solo adventure in Tiger Mountain" feel to it.
Wu Wenhua and Mi Xiaohong were worried, and how could he not be worried? His younger brother and brother-in-law were also missing.
He simply didn't want to show any nervousness in front of others. If he was nervous, everyone else would be even more nervous, and the atmosphere would be difficult to maintain.
Therefore, he doesn't walk fast in front of people, but once he's out of sight of others, he starts running quickly.
Ah Ying followed closely behind, not falling behind in the slightest.
He ran while thinking about it.
Logically, if the group were to return, they would definitely follow the mountain path to the east, forming an almost elliptical trajectory from west to east.
