My 1995 Small Farm.

"Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof!"

As Chen Ling rushed out of the kitchen, he saw his dogs barking angrily in the vegetable garden behind the kitchen, facing the dark forest behind them.

He grabbed the semi-automatic pistol that Lynx had left him, strode over, and fired several shots into the mountain without even looking.

This is just a scare tactic.

no way.

It's not that he has bad eyesight or doesn't want to look.

His eyesight is so good that, under normal circumstances, he can see things very clearly and very far, even at night.

But today... a fog rolled in at night. It was alright in the village, but the fog was so thick around the village, which is right next to the mountain, that we couldn't see anything at all.

"What's wrong? Have the wolves come down from the mountain?"

The whole family came over, holding flashlights and shining them up the mountain, but the fog was too thick, and they couldn't see anything.

"Hmm, they probably want to sneak into the village..."

Chen Ling's face was a little ugly, and he couldn't understand it. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn it, they're setting off firecrackers in this village, aren't they afraid at all!"

After saying that, he fired several more shots at the mountain.

As a result, the wolves on the mountain seemed to be provoking him. As soon as they fired their guns, they let out a series of chilling howls.

This enraged the pack of dogs, who barked loudly and confronted him.

"There are few wolves that are not afraid of gunfire or artillery fire, but they do exist. In the past, there were wolves that sneaked into villages on New Year's Eve to steal chickens and ducks."

Wang Cunye said.

On New Year's Eve, the aroma of meat wafted from every household, and even the hungry wolves in the mountains couldn't resist.

Just saying.

Suddenly, Erhei and the others' barking rose eight octaves, the barking erupting like a cacophony of angry shouts. The family saw the dogs staring intently at the dark forest as they moved from top to bottom, barking as they went, before turning around and charging out, howling.

"They're coming down the mountain!"

Chen Ling grabbed his gun and ran outside.

"Damn it, these beasts are really bold."

Wang Cunye cursed angrily, and he and Qin Rongxian, the two old men, each picked up their guns and prepared to follow.

"Dad, Uncle Qin, please don't come over. Take care of the family."

Hearing the two little children crying loudly after being woken up, Chen Ling quickly stopped them and ran outside.

Despite the dogs barking so fiercely and the sounds of gunfire and artillery, the pack of wolves still came down from the mountain.

If he remains indifferent, the wolves might think he's scared and then come over and wreak havoc on the orchard's poultry and livestock.

However, just as they stepped out of the gate, they heard the neighing of a spirited horse.

The little blue horse also leaped out of the livestock pen.

They ran straight out of the thick fog and came right up to him.

Chen Ling didn't even have time to praise it. Without saying a word, he mounted his horse and chased after the pack of dogs that were coming to meet them.

The night fog was so thick that it affected visibility even more than on a rainy day. With nothing visible, everything was a blur, and visibility was no more than three meters.

If it were an ordinary person in this environment, without dogs or horses, and only able to hear sounds without seeing anything else, they would definitely be completely lost.

The little blue horse runs fast.

They moved swiftly through the orchards and in the thick fog.

However, even with such speed, it's useless.

The pack of dogs and wolves that had charged ahead earlier clashed immediately.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and neither the dog nor the wolf had time to use their usual cunning hunting methods.

They went up and immediately bit into a ball.

The intense, pitiful, and furious howls blended together, making it impossible to distinguish whether they came from dogs or wolves.

"Xilulu——"

The little blue horse also let out an angry neigh.

But without stopping at all, it moved even faster, and in the blink of an eye, it carried Chen Ling to the destination.

At this point, the battle between the dog and the wolf intensified.

The dogs and wolves were locked in a fierce struggle, rolling on the ground, neither willing to let go, leaving blood everywhere.

In just a short while, some wolves had already been gutted, their intestines spilling out all over the ground.

Needless to say, Erhei and his gang are definitely more ferocious.

But there were too many wolves, and they recklessly attacked the pack of dogs.

Even if Erhei and his gang are very powerful, they are not able to hold their own for a short time.

With ten dogs also embroiled in a fierce battle with the sizable wolf pack, they were locked in a stalemate.

In this situation, Chen Ling definitely wouldn't need a gun.

So he pulled out a carrying pole from the cave.

Without letting the little green horse stop, he rushed over and swiftly swung the carrying pole, smashing a wolf's spine to the ground.

Little Green Horse seized the opportunity and bit down on the wolf that was fighting with Big Hair next to it.

This rogue horse is incredibly experienced at handling these kinds of situations.

Let's not talk about things further away.

Recently, there was trouble at the dog farm because it was carrying Chen Ling around beating dogs.

Now it's just a change in how we fight wolves.

With a wide grin revealing its pearly white teeth, it took a bite and caught half of the wolf's head in its mouth, then gave it a powerful jerk.

Big Hair was still biting down on the wolf's throat.

The little blue horse swung its paw with such force, and Big Hair's teeth were so sharp, that it almost tore the wolf in two.

They cut him open right through the chest.

"Another old wolf!"

Chen Ling glanced at the wolf lying in a pool of blood and suddenly froze.

Old people are cunning, and old horses are slippery.

The old wolf is cunning and treacherous, and is usually cautious. It's rare for him to come down the mountain so openly to cause trouble.

In that brief moment of hesitation, two wolves pounced on the little blue horse; unsurprisingly, they were two old wolves.

Despite its age, the old wolf leaps incredibly high when it pounces.

They jumped high, but the little blue horse jumped even higher, raising its front hooves, which were harder than iron, and kicked the two wolves away with a powerful kick.

Seeing this, Chen Ling sat firmly on his horse, raised his gun and fired, killing the two wolves with two shots.

As soon as the little green horse arrived, it took down the three-headed wolf. Instantly, it became spirited and let out a howl before charging forward and tearing at the wolf.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ling cursed loudly and quickly jumped off his horse.

This little blue horse thought it was a dogfighting ring.

The dogfighting arena is so spacious, it can run around as much as it wants without any problem. But now we're at the foot of the mountain by the river, in this small, dilapidated place. We can't shoot if we get too close, and it'll just keep rushing up there and making things worse.

He had just fired two shots, and now he couldn't use them anymore.

Fortunately, Erhei and the others are not lazy. They are well-fed and raised in such a good environment at home, with Heiwa and the other two taking care of them.

They are fierce and sturdy, not afraid to fight even jackals, and these old wolves can't stop them.

Despite their large numbers, the wolf pack was quickly defeated.

They encountered the charging little blue horse and Chen Ling, who had just dismounted.

Chen Ling reached for his gun and fired, but a wolf was faster and bit at his ankle.

Chen Ling was startled and kicked him away.

"Holy crap! Instead of running for your life, you dare to turn around and bite people? You're bolder than a jackal!"

Upon closer inspection, he realized his grandmother's actions were incorrect.

This isn't a wolf, it's a dog.

No wonder it bit his ankle right away.

When wolves pounce on or catch people, they usually bite their throats.

Only dogs like to bite downwards. They bite people's calves and ankles.

"What is this thing? A dog has infiltrated the wolf pack?"

Chen Ling was momentarily stunned, her mind struggling to process what was happening.

However, the situation didn't allow him to think it through, so he fired immediately.

Erhei and the others also chased after and bit the wolves.

The little blue horse displayed its might, no longer kicking its hooves, but instead either stomping on the wolf with its front hooves or biting it with its mouth.

The man, the dog, and the horse teamed up.

In no time, the wolves were all lying on the ground; not one of them could escape.

After the entire wolf pack was defeated, Chen Ling frowned even more deeply; these wolves were really too strange.

Surprisingly, they weren't all wolves; half of them were dogs.

It's like a demon is causing a disturbance.

If you associate it with mountain spirits and monsters, it can be a bit creepy at night.

"...How did these dogs end up hanging out with wolves!"

Chen Ling had an idea when he noticed the dog biting his ankle.

Keep an eye on the wolf pack.

Then Chen Ling discovered that many of the wolves in the pack were not wolves, but dogs.

You really don't know until you see it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Dogs definitely look different from wolves.

These dogs aren't all like wolfhounds; they have fur that is extremely similar to wolves.

However, since he had just encountered his own pack of dogs and ended up covered in blood, Chen Ling couldn't see him clearly because he was mixed in with the wolves.

In addition, the matter was urgent, and there were preconceived notions.

Chen Ling didn't have that kind of awareness or thought from the beginning.

"Wealth!"

"Uncle Fugui!"

"..."

Familiar shouts came from the dirt road in the direction of the village.

The villagers came over.

Needless to say, this must be because there was too much commotion here, with dogs and wolves causing a ruckus and constant gunfire. It's clear that something has happened at the village.

"I just killed the wolf, I'm fine!"

Chen Ling turned around and shouted, quite loudly, not only for the villagers to hear, but also for his family in the village.

really.

When the villagers arrived, carrying torches and guns.

Wang Cunye and his men also rushed over with guns and flashlights.

Seeing Chen Ling's situation, they were all stunned.

"What's going on here! How come the dog and the wolf are running together?!"

"So many strange things have happened this year! Wild boars have come down from the mountains, wolves have come down from the mountains, and dogs have even followed wolves down from the mountains. There are also strange things in the mountains that only suck blood and don't eat meat... And in the last two days, there have been reports of a water monster... My God, what's going on!"

"Who says otherwise? What's going on in the mountains? The dogs are all hanging out with the wolves. These dogs are coming down the mountain with the wolves to wreak havoc on the village."

What about wealth and honor?

"...How should I know what's going on? It doesn't look like a dog fed by a villager; it's a wild dog that roams the fields and mixes with wolves!"

"Sigh, it's wolves and wild dogs again. I hope that some real wolves and monkeys will never appear."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's creepy and you're still talking."

"Then I won't say anything more. I'll go and call Fourth Grandfather over to see what's going on. He knows a lot."

Someone went to the village to call Chen Gannian.

Chen Ling led his men to his home for a cup of hot tea. While drinking tea, he didn't completely relax and idle, but instead went out every now and then to fire a few shots.

The gunshots were used to deter wild animals in the mountains.

When Chen Gannian was called over, he shook his head and said he had never seen wolves and dogs colluding, not to mention that many of these wolves were old.

However, he did experience the years when there were packs of stray dogs.

It is said that packs of wild dogs roam in mass graves, dead man's ditch, and cemeteries looking for food, which is quite frightening.

There were a lot of stray dogs back then.

They are usually quite far from the village.

They don't often mingle with the village's dog packs.

They rarely even go to the village.

Some even avoid people altogether when they see them.

Some of these dogs were abandoned by people, while others ran away and never came back.

This kind of situation is common in rural areas.

The dog ran into the mountains and never came back.

There are plenty.

It is said that a dog does not mind a poor home, but some dogs are just born not to recognize their owners, like ingrates, and no one can tame them.

Narrow-minded and eccentric, he has never distinguished between relatives and strangers since childhood, and he bites anyone he can catch.

There aren't many of these types of dogs.

If even one of them were to appear, he would be a menace in the village, hated even more than a wolf.

It will also corrupt other dogs.

Moreover, you can often tell these types of dogs just by looking at their faces.

Many people who know how to choose a dog understand this saying: "A dog with whiskers pointing forward and a fierce bite, and bloodshot eyes, will bite."

It is said that the dog's whiskers point forward, not backward along the mouth like a normal dog, and its eyes have bloodshot veins.

This is the most common type of stray dog.

Chen Ling had seen this kind of dog before at the market in Fenglei Town.

It's a little blue dog.

This type of dog is narrow-minded and has a strange temper.

To put it simply, this type of dog is highly sensitive. In any situation, they are always on edge, in a state of tension, and have no sense of security.

It will bite if provoked by the slightest provocation.

Dogs like this are usually unwanted from puppies.

Even if someone wants to take them in, they will be kicked out of the house for various reasons, such as hurting someone.

These days, cats and dogs can't survive in the village without someone to feed them.

They all went to the wilderness and mountains to find food.

They naturally became a pack of stray dogs.

Actually, stray dogs are always around, but packs of stray dogs have become rare in recent years.

Just like Chen Gannian, an elderly person who lived before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had seen large packs of wild dogs.

In some places, people died, or there were too many children or something, or in the cemetery... In short, things were chaotic back then, and there were packs of stray dogs outside.

They also exist in the mountains.

However, they generally don't provoke others.

Not to mention, like tonight, when they've gathered in a pack with those old wolves.

After listening to what Chen Gannian said, Chen Ling suddenly remembered something about stray dogs.

Stray dogs are, to put it bluntly, stray dogs.

"I've often heard that stray Tibetan mastiffs and wolves roam together in the snowy areas, with the dogs and wolves working together to commit crimes in groups. Is tonight's situation... the same?"
