Chapter 1699 The Dog Gang Protects Their Master and the Entire Family Disappears
Five years ago, this was the only tree left in the forest that was selectively felled; none of them were very thick.
The lynx landed steadily on a branch as thick as an elbow, glanced at the hunting dogs leaping and bounding below, then leisurely lowered itself, its rump and short tail slightly raised. Then, the lynx bent its two front legs and scratched the branch several times with its left and right paws.
This is just like a kitten sharpening its claws.
It's no wonder they're felines; lynxes, leopards, and even Siberian tigers all have this habit.
However, Siberian tigers can't climb trees; they can only find fallen trees in the forest to cling to and scratch. With each scratch of its large paw, chunks of bark fall off.
The lynx's leisurely pace enraged the hunting dogs beneath the tree. Hua Long roared fiercely twice, then leaped up the tree trunk. The dogs couldn't hold onto the tree, and as Hua Long slid down, Huang Long leaped up, stepping on Hua Long's back to climb up.
Huanglong leaped up to a point three meters above the ground on the tree trunk, when he was suddenly startled by the lynx.
Before the lynx could make any move, Huanglong's body flipped over and fell from mid-air to the tree.
Although Huanglong failed, it did not dampen the fighting spirit of the hunting dogs. The dogs howled, some getting up and pawing at the tree trunks, some leaping up the trees, and some circling the trees and roaring at the lynxes in the trees.
The lynx in the tree remained completely calm, looking down at the dog below, feeling safe.
Just then, Zhao Jun arrived with a gun.
The poplar tree had already shed its leaves last year. Although the branches and twigs provided some cover, Zhao Jun could still see the lynx standing on the branch.
The saying "you can't shoot birds through branches" refers to a No. 16 hunting rifle. With the power of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, a few thin branches have no effect on its accuracy.
But just as Zhao Jun aimed his gun at the lynx, the lynx also saw Zhao Jun.
No one knows what the lynx was thinking. When it saw Zhao Jun, it suddenly leaped forward and instantly jumped down from the tree.
"Bang! Bang!"
Almost simultaneously, gunshots rang out.
Branches and twigs fell from the trees with a crackling sound, but the lynx didn't lose a single hair.
"Holy crap!" Zhao Jun was shocked. When he pulled the trigger, he could no longer see the lynx in the gunshot.
But it was too late to put the gun away then. Zhao Jun fired two shots instinctively and lowered the gun. As he landed, the lynx leaped over Xiao Hua's head and charged straight at Zhao Jun!
That lynx is so fierce!
Today we first wounded Zhang Jimin, and now we must attack Zhao's army!
"Ow ooh..."
"Wang Wang Wang..."
The hunting dogs, protecting their master, saw the lynx rushing towards the Zhao army. Instantly, all eleven hunting dogs of the Zhao family's dog gang chased after the lynx like madmen.
Logically, a lynx should land within the circle of dogs.
But as the lynx landed, Zhao Jun fired a shot, and the hunting dogs, who recognized the gun, instinctively looked in the direction of the gunfire. At that moment, branches broken by bullets fell from the trees.
The hounds' attention was drawn to the branch, but they quickly identified their prey. In that fleeting moment, barely a second, the lynx escaped.
The lynx in Northeast China has a coat that changes with the seasons. At this time, the snow has just melted, and the lynx hasn't molted yet; its fur is still that color that's neither gray nor white.
It's too late, but it's soon.
From the moment Zhao Jun fired his gun and the lynx landed, to the lynx leaping out of the hound encirclement, only three or four seconds passed.
At this moment, Zhao Jun, who had missed with both shots, saw no prey in front of him and hurriedly put down his gun, intending to search for the lynx.
Just then, Zhao Jun saw a blur before his eyes as the 60-plus-pound lynx roared and leaped up from the ground, lunging straight at Zhao Jun's face, its sharp claws springing out from its paw pads!
If its sharp claws were to scratch you, disfigurement would be inevitable.
The attackers reacted quickly. Zhao Jun instinctively raised his gun, but instantly felt a tremendous force strike him. Caught off guard, Zhao Jun fell backward and felt a sharp pain in his arm.
At the same time, a fishy, pungent smell entered Zhao Jun's nose.
Because the lynx that landed was now standing on top of Zhao's soldiers.
It could be said that the lynx could turn around and be face to face with Zhao Jun, and could tear Zhao Jun's throat with a single claw.
"Hah!" Suddenly, a sound rang out not far away. Wang Qiang, who was holding a semi-automatic gun, was afraid of hitting Zhao Jun, so he dared not fire at the lynx. He could only make a sound to attract the lynx's attention and also to motivate the hunting dogs.
At this moment, the Zhao family's loyal gang, who were wholeheartedly protecting their master, didn't need any encouragement or motivation. Black Tiger swept past Zhao Jun like a gust of wind.
Normally, a dog could never outrun a lynx.
But the lynx was stopped by Zhao Jun, and it sped up again, but it couldn't outrun the accelerating black tiger in a short distance.
The black tiger charged straight at the lynx. The lynx, realizing it couldn't dodge, immediately straightened its back and leaped to the side, baring its teeth and extending its claws!
Normally, Black Tiger would never have fought the lynx head-on, but with Zhao's army so close at hand, Black Tiger didn't care about anything else and opened his mouth to bite the lynx's rear end.
Dogs are loyal, and even though Black Tiger is cunning, he was willing to risk everything to protect his master.
But the lynx twisted its body, dodging the black tiger's attack, and at the same time, a claw landed on the black tiger's back with lightning speed.
"Awooo..." Black Tiger let out a miserable cry as the lynx slammed the dog to the ground with one paw.
The year Zhao Jun was reborn, he and Li Baoyu went bear hunting with Hua Xiao and Da Huang.
After the bear hunt, a lynx suddenly appeared and pinned Da Huang to the ground. If Zhao's army hadn't reacted quickly, Da Huang would have been in serious trouble.
But all of this is happening too fast; Zhao Jun hasn't even gotten up from the ground yet.
But then, Huanglong arrived. As a mountain dog that had lived in the mountains since it was a puppy, Huanglong was full of wildness, and it also knew better than anyone what it could mess with and what it couldn't.
In the past, if Huanglong could smell the lynx from a great distance, it would have to tuck its tail and run away.
But since joining the Zhao family's gang, having fought off Siberian tigers and surrounded Siberian leopards, why would I need to be afraid of lynxes?
Just as he always pounced on wild boars, Huanglong leaped onto the lynx's back.
The lynx panicked and lunged forward, but was blocked by Erhei and Bailong.
The lynx suddenly lunged forward, its fierce cry sending chills down one's spine. As Erhei and Bailong dodged, Qinglong attacked from behind, leaping up and swooping down on the lynx!
"Awooo..." The lynx that landed turned its head to bite the blue dragon, but the flower dragon bit its ear.
The lynx turned around to bite the flower dragon, but felt a sharp pain all over its body.
The next second, the lynx was lifted off the ground. But this time it wasn't leaping or bursting up; it was pulled up by several dogs.
His limbs, short tail, ears, and the back of his neck were being bitten by the seven dogs, while his belly was being bitten by Black Dragon and Little Flower. A scream was heard, and blood splattered all over Zhao Jun's face as he got up.
A perfectly healthy lynx was torn to pieces by these dogs.
"Nephew!" Wang Qiang ran up to Zhao Jun and checked the injury on Zhao Jun's arm.
At the end of March, the temperature in the forest area was still very low. Zhao Jun wore the forest farm's work clothes on the outside, and underneath he wore a thin cotton-padded jacket, a sweater knitted by Ma Ling, as well as a cloth shirt and a vest.
The three layers of thick clothing largely protected him from the lynx's claws. When Zhao Jun pulled off his clothes, he saw a small wound on the outside of his forearm.
The wound wasn't serious and healed quickly. But wounds caused by lynxes must be treated.
In Zhao Jun's pocket was some anti-toxic water that Lin Xue had brought back from the infirmary.
The so-called "anti-toxic water" is actually a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide solution. It's quite effective for disinfection; when applied to a wound, it will continuously bubble. It was only allocated to the forest farm's medical clinic after the New Year.
But Zhao Jun had no time to treat his wounds. He yelled at the hunting dogs and ordered Wang Qiang, Xie Chen, and Zhao Jinhui to snatch the lynx fragments from their mouths.
"Woo..." The angry Azure Dragon, with one of the lynx's legs in its mouth, repeatedly lashed the lynx's leg against the ground by shaking its head.
Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on the Azure Dragon's back. The Azure Dragon jerked its head to the side, and its fierce eyes instantly became clear.
"Give it to me," Zhao Jun ordered. The Azure Dragon wagged its tail, tossed the lynx leg at Zhao Jun's feet, and then looked up at Zhao Jun.
At this moment, Zhao Jun looked into the distance and saw Black Tiger and Flower Dragon fighting over the lynx's entrails. Zhao Jun turned his head away in disgust and called to Erhua, who was carrying the lynx's flesh.
Seeing that Zhao Jun ignored him, Qinglong lowered its head, nudged the lynx's leg with its nose, and then raised a paw to pat Zhao Jun's shoe.
Sensing this, Zhao Jun looked down, then patted Qinglong's head and said "Good dog," which made Qinglong squint its eyes.
After the lynx, which had been dismembered into eight pieces, was reassembled in front of Zhao Jun, Jie Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! Two thousand and several hundred coins are gone."
"It's fine if it's not there." Wang Qiang said while applying medicine to Zhao Jun's arm, "This tiger cub pounced on your brother Jun just now, it gave me a fright."
"Damn it!" Zhao Jun felt a lingering fear and said, "Thank goodness for these dogs, otherwise that lynx would have turned into a Hami Chi by now."
Hami Chi is the chief strategist of Jin Wuzhu in "The Complete Biography of Yue Fei". Because his nose was cut off, he speaks in a mumbling manner.
"Awooo! Awooo!" As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, he saw the black tiger raise its head and bark at him twice.
Black Tiger was showing off his merits, meaning he was telling Zhao Jun, "I saved you, so you should praise me!"
Upon hearing the noise, Zhao Jun looked at Black Tiger and said, "What are you yelling about? Look at the way you're eating!"
Because he was fighting with Hua Long for lynx intestines, Black Tiger's face was splattered with a lot of dirt.
Black Tiger was startled by Zhao Jun's reprimand and stared at Zhao Jun with its dog eyes.
"Nephew!" Wang Qiang exclaimed upon seeing this, "You lay down the other day, didn't you see? Black Tiger knew to protect you!"
As he spoke, Wang Qiang remembered something and quickly called out to Black Tiger, "Tiger, come quick."
When Wang Qiang called him, Black Tiger wagged its tail and walked to Wang Qiang's side.
Wang Qiang bent down to inspect the armor on Black Tiger's body. He saw that there were holes in the armor and hurriedly went to remove the armor from Black Tiger's body.
Seeing Wang Qiang's actions, Zhao Jun hurriedly walked over.
"It's alright, Mao Hou isn't hurt." Wang Qiang checked Black Tiger and was relieved to see that it was unharmed.
Seeing the three holes in his armor caused by the lynx, Zhao Jun looked at Black Tiger and laughed, "Oh, Tiger knows how to protect me now!"
Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Black Tiger seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and he circled around Zhao Jun, whimpering.
"Alright, alright." Zhao Jun stroked Black Tiger's neck and said, "Let's go back, I'll cut some venison for you to eat."
Upon hearing that there was meat to eat, Black Tiger instantly became lively again.
The group packed the lynx fragments into sacks, which Xie Chen carried back. When they reached the dead deer, Zhao Jun glanced at it and said to Wang Qiang, "Uncle, let's carve the deer, feeding the dogs as we go. Once we're done, we'll put the pieces in sacks and carry them to the cart."
Although it was only a five or six-minute walk from the car, there was no snow on the ground at that time, so it was difficult to pull it off.
Besides, there's not much meat to be gained from this fawn, so we might as well just butcher it on the spot.
“Brother Jun, let me peel the meat with Uncle.” At this moment, Xie Chen volunteered, and Zhao Jun gave the job of peeling and cutting the meat to Xie Chen.
Wang Qiang and Xie Chen butchered the venison while feeding the meat to the dogs.
Zhao Jun, along with Zhao Jinhui, removed the armor from the ten dogs except for Black Tiger.
Then, Zhao Junzai carefully inspected all the hunting dogs from head to tail.
Before Zhao Jun arrived, the hunting dogs and lynxes had fought. If any dog was injured and the wound got infected, it would be troublesome.
After checking and finding nothing amiss, Zhao Jun felt relieved and continued feeding the dogs.
After the dogs had eaten their fill, Zhao Jun helped remove the meat and separate the bones.
Meat, bones, and meat bones—all packed into sacks and carried back to the car along with the lynx meat.
After settling the dogs and the game, Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang got into the trunk. Jie Chen drove, and the pampered Zhao Jinhui sat in the passenger seat. The four of them returned home with a full load.
Although the lynx went blind, at least there was meat in the house.
After feeding the dogs, there were less than 60 pounds of venison left, plus more than 10 pounds of lynx meat, enough for the family to eat for several days. If combined with the black bear meat in the Zhang family's refrigerator, they could even have a meal of stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers.
When the car left the mountain area and entered Yong'an Village, it was already past 4:40 pm.
When the car arrived outside the Zhao family compound, seeing that the jeep had already returned, Zhao Jun didn't even have time to release the dog before jumping out of the trunk.
Zhao Jun walked quickly into the yard, and when he was almost in front of the house, Wang Meilan came out of the house.
As soon as they met up with her family, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun, "Son, did you get hurt?"
“Got it, Mom,” Zhao Jun replied, then asked Wang Meilan, “Mom, Baoyu…”
Before Zhao Jun could finish speaking, his door was pushed open again, and Xing San, Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu, and Li Ruhai filed out.
"Baoyu!" Zhao Jun hurriedly asked Li Baoyu, "Did you send it back to Wang Haitao?"
"Yes, brother." Li Baoyu nodded and said, "I've gone to the mourning hall as you instructed."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun looked at Wang Meilan and asked, "Mom, did you call the local police station?"
"I did," Wang Meilan said. "My son told me to do it, how could I refuse?"
As Wang Meilan spoke, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the path leading to the main gate. When she saw Wang Qiang, Xie Chen, and Zhao Jinhui each carrying a burlap sack walking towards her, a smile immediately appeared on Wang Meilan's face.
Just then, a car horn sounded outside. Zhao Jun was startled and quickly walked towards the door.
When Zhao Jun arrived at the door, he saw Chen Weiyi, Sun Xueshan, and Liu Guodong walk in together.
"Team Leader Zhao!" Chen Weiyi's face was very bad. As soon as he saw Zhao Jun, he said, "Wang Haitao is gone."
"Dead?" Zhao Jun was shocked, then heard Chen Weiyi say, "No, we can't find him."
"What?" Zhao Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Chief Chen, didn't you go to his house to check on him?"
"I saw it," Chen Weiyi said, his face grim. "There's no one left at his house either."
