Chapter 288 Wolf and dog, protect the calf(1/2)

Compared with the howling of wolves in the mountains, Heiwa's howling sounds more frightening, as if there is a kind of oppressive force, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over, and may even subconsciously tighten their hearts and give rise to fear.

Chen Ling had only experienced this with Xiao Jin before.

There were only a few times when Xiao Jin summoned the dogs when he was in danger.

But Xiao Jin's cry will be very soft and deep, and most people can't even hear it if they don't listen carefully.

Moreover, it is not as depressing and uncomfortable as Hei Wa's howling.

Fortunately, Heiwa didn't scream a few times.

And after Heiwa's cry stopped, the wolves in the mountains also stopped howling.

Although Chen Ling and others were puzzled by this, they also knew that they must be communicating with each other.

I have to say that Heiwa has changed a lot recently.

It seems that love really changes people.

The contribution of those little she-wolves is not small.

Even so, we have to guard against it.

After Chen Ling saw off his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and returned from the village, he and Wang Qingwen set down a few traps outside the farm, lit two bonfires, and sprinkled poisonous powder to drive away wolves, so as to avoid them spending the Mid-Autumn Festival here.

I went down the mountain to touch it at night.

Not to mention, under the bright moonlight on a Mid-Autumn night, lighting two bonfires outside the farm, accompanied by the dancing fireflies, is also extremely artistic.

Chen Ling admired the moon and paused for a long time.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, the 16th day of the eighth lunar month, when Chen Ling went to the mountain to pick up eggs, he suddenly realized that Heiwa did not run to the back of the mountain early today, but followed him honestly to pick up eggs.

Patrol the mountains and guard the chickens.

This really surprised him.

What made it let go of the little she-wolf and become so law-abiding?

Is the estrus period over?

With doubts, Chen Ling went to Langdiao Rock again.

Finally, I walked to the wolf den in the ravine and took a look. Oh dear, there are no wolves anywhere.

The wolves have moved away long ago.

Thinking of the wolf howling last night, Chen Ling suddenly understood something.



"Have the wolves in the mountains moved?"

When Wang Qingwen heard the news, he stood up and asked, "Is it because we went to see them yesterday that they moved?"

"If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have allowed you to take us there to see the wonders yesterday."

Wang Qingwen thought that they brought a bunch of kids there yesterday, which may have disturbed the wolf, so they moved away overnight without staying for more than a day.

Gao Xiulan also nodded: "Yes, yes, last night when we were going back to the village, they were barking in the mountains for a long time, and Heiwa also barked too. It must be that the wolves were about to move at that time."

Chen Ling said: "It shouldn't be the case. I often went to the back mountain to see them before. Susu and I also went there with our children. Yesterday, there were only two adults: me and my eldest brother. We really had a few little kids, so they wouldn't be scared.

Yes, we will move out overnight.”

"Well, that's not the case."

Wang Cunye frowned and said, "Do you think Hei Wa got pregnant after mating with those female wolves? That's when he moved away."

"You're pregnant, so soon?"

Gao Xiulan didn't believe it.

Wang Qingwen and his wife didn't believe it either.

"It's so close. He's already half a month old, and the Hei baby is as strong as a calf. The she-wolf must be pregnant with a baby. Needless to say."

Wang Cunye became more and more certain the more he spoke.

He looked at Chen Ling and said: "You raise cattle in the mountains and there are relatively few sheep, so you may not know the situation.

There are many cows and sheep raised in the mountains over there. Once the cows and sheep are bred and pregnant with babies, you must always pay attention to them, especially when the babies are about to be born, you must always keep an eye on them.

Otherwise, the cow or the sheep might be hiding in some mountain nook when it’s time to give birth.

This thing is protective of its calves, and the same is true for its owner's family. It is secretive and has to wait until the baby is born and a full moon before it is willing to take the baby home from the mountains.

Otherwise, if you try to find them when they are hiding, you may not be able to find them because they are so deep.

You see, our domestic animals are still like this, let alone wolves. These things are cautious and cunning, and have very smart minds. They know that they are pregnant with cubs, so they must stay away.

You can’t get close to people anymore.”

Chen Ling was suddenly enlightened by what his father-in-law said.

Others also looked surprised.

Chen Ling smiled and kicked Hei Wa: "Good boy, it turns out you already knew that the wolves were going to move away."

Hei Wa stuck out his tongue, gave him an honest look, turned around and continued to play around with the little yellow dog.

Today is the 16th day of the eighth lunar month.

It has been almost two months since Chen Ling discovered wolf dung and wolf traces at Langdiao Rock.

He didn't know when the wolves came.

This small-scale wolf pack comes and goes like the wind, and their hunting grounds are not very large.

Maybe we didn't move too far away.

Even after you are pregnant with your baby, when you look for a place to make a hole, it will definitely be more hidden than this time.

If you want to find it, you have to put in some effort.

"So, if you wait another four months or so, by the end of the year, there will be several litters of wolf cubs born?"

"When the time comes, you have to carry one back for me."

Wang Qingwen rubbed his chin and said.

As the saying goes, cats, three dogs, four pigs, five sheep, and six.

It refers to the pregnancy time of these animals. Cats need to be pregnant for three months to give birth, dogs need to be pregnant for four months, and pigs and sheep need to be pregnant longer.

It’s the 16th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. If you wait four months to give birth to a puppy, wouldn’t it be the end of the year?

"Brother, you are wrong."

When Chen Ling heard what his uncle said, he shook his head and laughed.

"Ah? Did I say something wrong?"

Wang Qingwen was stunned when he heard this, and then slapped his forehead, "Yes, that's not right, it should be a few litters of wolf pups."

"Qingwen, you don't understand what I mean. That's not what your brother-in-law said."

Gao Xiulan smiled and said: "What your brother-in-law means is that the four months between the cats, dogs, and dogs are dogs, not wolves."

"Wolf doesn't need four months, only about two months."

Wang Qingwen was immediately surprised, "Isn't this wolf different from a dog when they are pregnant with cubs?"

"That's definitely different."

Chen Ling patted his uncle on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The wolf is a wolf and the dog is a dog. Even though the two things can go together, in fact they are quite different."

Wolves and dogs are not reproductively isolated.

There are no defects in the offspring, and superior varieties can be bred through crossbreeding.

From this point of view, it seems that there is not much difference between the two.

But in fact, the physiques of wolves and dogs are different.

Wolves get pregnant quickly and give birth quickly, and their intestines are very strong. They eat a lot and digest food quickly.

The same cannot be said for dogs. If nothing else, a dog's intestines and stomach are much worse than a wolf's.

For example, dogs will develop lactose intolerance if they drink milk. If they drink too much, they will have diarrhea and die, but wolves will be fine.

"Good guy, then you don't have to wait long to have a few litters of wolf pups."

Wang Qingwen became happy when he heard this, "Two months have passed in a flash. If we can find these wolves by then, I will have to leave a little wolf dog for me."

Xiao Zhengtong, who was playing not far away, heard this and quickly ran over and shouted: "Uncle, I want three, one for my father, one for my mother, and one for me."

Little Dongdong also shouted: "Uncle, I want three too, I want three too."

"Okay, okay, if we can find the wolf den by then, we will catch all the litter of wolf puppies, and you can take your pick."

Chen Ling smiled and touched their heads.
