Chapter 23 Waiting for Mr. Hu to take action
There are also differences between hunting dogs, and the differences are very large.
Good hunting dogs have strong endurance, can accompany hunters over mountains and ridges, have good sense of smell, can endure hardships, have strong killing power, and are extremely outstanding in courage, flexibility, intelligence, etc.
With just a little training, they can understand the meaning of hunters' commands and actions.
They can actively find and chase prey and drive prey into traps set in advance.
Because of their strong physical strength and outstanding endurance, they can even chase prey for dozens of miles, so they are also called mountain chasing dogs or mountain driving dogs.
"In the past, in the village, the best hunting dogs were the ones that Master Aliang left for him."
"That old man is really biased, giving all the good ones to Aliang."
"Yes, they should have been given to Brother Hu!"
Several of Zhao Hu's younger brothers whispered.
They and Zhao Hu all raised hunting dogs, but they were far less excellent than the ones Chu Liang had before.
Therefore, after the death of those hounds, they all thought that Chu Liang's hunting efficiency would be greatly reduced.
But the reality was completely the opposite of what they thought.
"Aliang must have bought a good hound!"
They all guessed so.
Zhao Hu thought so too, and strode towards his second uncle's yard.
As soon as he approached, three lively puppies appeared in his field of vision, and the cheerful sound of "woof woof" rang in his ears.
The three puppies jumped in his second uncle's yard, their tails wagging, and their bodies were furry.
Zhao Hu's eyes widened immediately.
"Just these puppies?"
A sense of absurdity spread in Zhao Hu's heart.
No matter how excellent the hounds are, they need to grow up!
What's the use of these three puppies?
Behind Zhao Hu, his younger brothers and Chu Qiang were also a little confused, staring at the three jumping puppies, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Aqiang!"
The fourth uncle felt uncomfortable when he saw his son Chu Qiang coming over empty-handed, and immediately scolded him: "You didn't get anything all day, where is the hunting skill you learned?"
"Dad, I..."
Chu Qiang was a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to argue with his father, so he could only lower his head silently.
Aside, Zhao Hu was unhappy, frowned and said: "Chu Siniu, are you blaming someone else? Do you want to say that I am not as good as Aliang and can't get prey?"
"Zhao Hu, that's not what I mean."
The fourth uncle's heart skipped a beat, and he waved his hands hurriedly, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
Although that's what he meant, but...
He could say that sentence to his son in private, but he couldn't say it in front of Zhao Hu, otherwise it would be a slap in Zhao Hu's face.
To Zhao Hu, the fourth uncle was mocking him for being incompetent.
"Chu Siniu, do you think you are very capable? Why don't you go into the mountain and try it yourself?" Zhao Hu pointed his finger, "The mountain is right there, you can go there anytime you want!"
"Zhao Hu, I really don't mean that."
The fourth uncle smiled apologetically and apologized repeatedly, wishing he could slap himself.
Now his relationship with Chu Liang is too strained, so he can only put his hope on Zhao Hu, and he can't let Zhao Hu become strained again.
"Zhao Hu, the fourth brother!"
The second uncle suddenly spoke up and said to the two of them: "You two, if you want to make trouble, go somewhere else, why are you blocking the door of my yard?"
"Humph, I just came to see!" Zhao Hu snorted.
"What are you looking at?"
Chu Liang walked to the door and looked at Zhao Hu and others calmly.
He folded his arms, just standing there, giving people an invisible sense of threat.
"Aliang, you rely on these three puppies to hunt?" Zhao Hu spoke up, trying to figure out why Liang could get so much.
"Yeah."
"Don't lie to me!"
"What else? What do you think I can rely on?"
"But... these three puppies..."
Zhao Hu's face was not very good, and he obviously thought Chu Liang was fooling him.
Such a small puppy can also hunt?
At this time, the three puppies seemed to have noticed Zhao Hu's contempt for them, and they all roared together.
"Woof woof woof--"
They bared their teeth, looked fierce, and stared at Zhao Hu and others with a fierce look, as if they would pounce forward and bite at any time!
The invisible fierceness surged out, which was completely opposite to their previous cuteness.
Zhao Hu and others didn't care. After all, they were just puppies. What could they do if they were fierce?
But the hounds they were leading began to tremble, and they were terrified. They hung their heads on the ground, half-lying their bodies, and made a low "woof" sound.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Hu and others were shocked.
The hounds they carefully trained were actually scared by these puppies?
You know, these hounds are extremely ferocious, and they can rush up and bite wild boars with terrifying fangs.
Zhao Hu looked at the puppies in disbelief for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Aliang, where did you get these puppies?"
"I just bought them in the county town." Chu Liang answered casually.
"Just bought them? Which stall?"
"I forgot."
"You..."
Zhao Hu's face was uncertain, changing for a while.
Finally, he waved his hand, turned around and left.
"Let's go!"
Several younger brothers hurriedly followed, and one guy looked back at the three puppies reluctantly when he left.
They were not fools, so they could naturally see how precious these puppies were.
After walking away, one of the younger brothers said: "Brother Hu, Aliang's puppies are not simple! We must find a way to get them!"
"Get them?"
Zhao Hu snorted coldly and said, "If you have the ability, go and do it! Can you beat A Liang?"
"I……"
The younger brother's tone was stagnant.
"Wait! Wait!"
Zhao Hu took a deep breath and suppressed all the discomfort in his heart.
He said to several of his younger brothers: "Aliang won't live long. When Mr. Hu takes action against him, we will find a way to get his treasured bow and hunting dog."
"We can only wait."
"Fortunately, Mr. Hu is here, otherwise we would always be overwhelmed by A Liang."
The rest of the people understood that they could only wait for Mr. Hu.
Mr. Hu is a symbol of invincibility in the village.
Zhao Hu glanced at Chu Qiang and said to him: "Aqiang, only we know about this at present. I regard you as my brother, so I said it in front of you. Do you understand?"
"Brother Hu, I...I understand! I won't tell Brother Liang."
Chu Qiang nodded repeatedly and promised repeatedly that he would not tip off Chu Liang.
In fact, Zhao Hu didn't care at all whether he would report the news or not.
So what if Chu Liang knew?
Run away?
The origins of the people in the village were all suppressed by Mr. Hu. Once Chu Liang escaped outside, he would be a gangster with no identity.
The life of a black householder is much more difficult than that of ordinary people!
"Good boy!" Zhao Hu patted Chu Qiang's shoulder and praised him: "Don't worry, follow me, you will definitely be the best in your Chu family from now on!"
"Yeah, thank you, Brother Tiger."
"Haha, thank you for what you say..."
Zhao Hu laughed twice.
When he thought that Chu Liang would eventually die in Master Hu's hands, he felt much better.
But Chu Qiang lowered his head silently, feeling tangled in his heart.
"Do you want to tell Brother Liang?"
In the past, Chu Liang was very good to his family. Every time there was a lot of prey, he would share it with his family.
Chu Qiang still remembers that when he was so hungry that it was Chu Liang who roasted half a rabbit for him.
He would never forget that smell.
"Forget it, forget it... No matter how powerful Brother Liang is, he is still no match for Master Hu..."
Chu Qiang gritted his teeth and finally decided to keep this matter deep in his heart.
