When Wang Tianxiao returned to the pit-dwelling courtyard, he happened to run into Lao Liu, who was about to go out with Hua'er.
One of them is in junior high school, and the other is in elementary school.
Upon seeing Wang Tianxiao, they greeted each other with "Brother" and "Erda".
Wang Tianxin now feels only excitement and happiness when he sees Wang Tianxiao, but Hua'er, because of her parents, is even more timid when she sees Wang Tianxiao. She keeps avoiding eye contact and doesn't dare to look directly at her second uncle.
Wang Tianxiao patted Wang Tianxin's head and said, "Study hard. I'll keep my promise to you. During winter break, I'll take you to the mountains to hunt wild boar."
"Wild boar?! Really?" Wang Tianxin exclaimed excitedly.
For teenagers living near the mountains, hunting wild boars is basically the ultimate heroic feat in legends. If they can hunt a wild boar, they can brag about it among their peers for years.
Wang Tianxin was naturally lively and was most interested in these kinds of things.
"When have I ever lied to you? But you have to behave at school and not cause trouble. I want to see if you can stay calm. If you're not steady enough, you can't be a good hunter."
Wang Tianxiao seized every opportunity to reason with his younger brother and subtly influence him.
"I will definitely listen carefully." Wang Tianxin stood at attention. "Please review, superiors."
"You little brat."
Wang Tianxiao was both amused and exasperated. He glanced at Hua'er and said to Wang Tianxin, "Go quickly, and turn around when you see Hua'er turn onto the main road."
"Don't worry, brother, the flowers are very clever."
"Yes, be careful in everything."
Human trafficking was particularly serious in those days. Due to the birth policy, children became precious, and it was common for children to be stolen or sold in rural areas.
After Wang Tianxin and Hua'er left, Wang Tianxiao went inside to heat the kang (a heated brick bed) for his wife and told her to come back for lunch and that he could leave her some porridge and steamed buns.
He then spun Wang Fang around on the ground a few times, tickled her little armpits, making the little girl laugh until tears streamed down her face. Only then did he take the two dogs, call Wang Tiancheng, and head out the door.
Knowing the way well, we arrived at the station located halfway up the mountain after more than an hour.
The two had been chatting and laughing all the way, but the moment they stepped onto the mountain ridge, their expressions changed simultaneously.
There's something going on.
They rushed to the place where the deer were kept in captivity.
Two dogs followed closely behind.
The room was a complete mess.
The wooden door was smashed to pieces, with wood chips scattered all over the floor. The threshold was broken into pieces, and red and yellow fluff was scattered on the ground.
This is-
It turned out to be sika deer fur.
Wang Tianxiao was greatly surprised.
When sika deer are young, their fur is relatively light-colored with yellow spots. As they grow into adults, their fur gradually darkens, and their spots turn white.
Male deer are usually quite dirty, while female deer are much cleaner. Based on the color and cleanliness of their fur, Wang Tianxiao judged that the deer that came here was most likely a female.
Wang Tianxiao was anxious. Just as he reached the door, Dahei rushed out and stood guard at the door, baring its teeth and roaring angrily at Wang Tianxiao.
"Waaaaah... Waaaah!"
Wang Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, while Wang Tiancheng was startled.
When the wolfhound gets angry, it will bark and growl softly, and its eyes will instantly turn fierce and menacing as it looks at the two people, appearing extremely tense.
Ah Ying and Da Feng were also a little confused, not knowing what was going on with Da Hei. They both knelt down on the spot, baring their teeth and growling at Da Hei with great dissatisfaction.
"Big Black, it's me."
Wang Tianxiao didn't know what was wrong with Dahei, why it was so nervous, it was clear that it had encountered a formidable enemy.
Dahei's alertness was purely instinctive. It quickly recognized Wang Tianxiao, and its tail lowered, while its fur gradually smoothed out.
As it looked inside the house, it wagged its tail at Wang Tianxiao, its gaze softening considerably.
But it still didn't leave the room, blocking the doorway tightly with its body.
Wang Tianxiao walked to the door and looked inside. He found the fawn huddled in a corner, trembling. The room was even more chaotic than the outside, with deer fur and lots of black dog hair on the floor. Clearly, Big Black and a deer had been engaged in a fierce fight in the room, with Big Black narrowly winning in the end.
Or perhaps they didn't win.
Generally speaking, a hunting dog is not enough to defeat an adult sika deer. In open fields, the hunting dog would inevitably be defeated.
The fact that Dahei was able to hold its ground here is partly due to its bravery, but more importantly, the area is too small, which is not conducive to the sika deer's fighting ability.
However, to be fair, another adult sika deer has unexpectedly appeared here... or perhaps two.
He patted Big Black's head and said, "Big Black, well done. I'll give you meat when we get home."
Big Black could understand the word "meat," and immediately wagged its tail happily again.
When Wang Tianxiao entered the room, he found the little deer huddled in a corner, trembling with fear. It seemed that the fierce appearance of the big black dog had left an indelible impression of terror on its young mind.
Seeing Wang Tianxiao didn't bother her much, but when she saw the big black dog following behind, her legs trembled, and she shrank into the corner of the wall, her beautiful eyes filled with fear.
"Tiancheng, you wait outside with the three dogs. This little guy is terrified."
"Okay, bro."
As soon as Wang Tiancheng and Dahei left, Xiaolu immediately stood up straight.
Wang Tianxiao placed the gun at the corner of the door, slowly walked to the deer, and gently stroked its back. The deer stared at him curiously, without resisting, but instead gently nuzzled his hand with its head.
"Little deer, who came to see you? Was it your father or your mother?"
"Na na".
The little deer responded with soft murmurs.
“So it was your mother,” Wang Tianxiao nodded. “It makes sense. Your father certainly wouldn’t have had the perseverance and courage to run into human territory and try to take you back from a battle-hardened adult hunting dog. Your mother is truly brave.”
"Na na".
"Alright, don't worry, I won't let you be lonely forever. Since your mother is here, let her come along too, so she can keep you company."
The little deer had no idea that the human in front of it had decided its mother's fate in just a few seconds, and it foolishly stuck out its little tongue to lick the cornmeal in Wang Tianxiao's hand.
This is what Wang Tianxiao brought from home when he left.
It's barely enough to feed the fawn now.
The gestation period for sika deer is quite fixed each year. Based on the timeline, this deer is probably only about a month old and is still a very young fawn. Otherwise, how could it be so adorable?
Slowly, the fawn finished eating and lay down to rest. Wang Tianxiao called Wang Tiancheng in, gently pressed down on the fawn's feet, and then took out a bottle and syringe that he had prepared beforehand, secretly inserting them into the fawn's neck.
I may be startled, but I can't let important matters be delayed.
One thing at a time.
