It was a cold winter night, and a group of educated youths from the city came to a remote mountain village in the Qinling Mountains.
They gathered in the mountains and forests, surrounded the old hunter Lao Qin, and listened to his stories about wolves.
The old Qin family has lived in the depths of this mountain for generations, relying on the hunting skills handed down by his ancestors for a living, he has a good hand, a good set, a good set, a jumping set is proficient, digging traps to catch wild boars is not a problem, in this radius of dozens of miles is also a well-known old hunter.
Lao Qin has a bold personality, dark complexion, and bright eyes, and the educated youths sit around the pimple fire, and a big top jar is set up above the fire, and the top jar is stewed with fine wild boar, and the bud grain wine brewed by the people in the mountains exudes a strong aroma.
It was a dark night, a cold wind was blowing outside, the goose-feather snow was falling on the snow and making a rustling sound, and the wolf howls in the distance came and went, wave after wave, and their howls were terrible and cold throughout the valley, making people feel frightened and depressed.
Among them, 3 female intellectuals heard the wolf howl, they were all trembling with fright, and they all moved closer to Lao Qin, at this moment they thought that only Lao Qin was the most trustworthy protector.
Lao Qin smiled, watching them hear the wolf howl for the first time and be dominated by fear, so he deliberately instructed the male intellectuals sitting next to the fire to go outside the door and bring some tree lumps in.
He ordered several male intellectuals one after another, but none of them dared to walk out of the door, so Lao Qin had no choice but to give up.
He slowly took out a large piece of wild boar meat from the top jar, and asked as he chewed, "Then why don't you dare to go out the door?"
Everyone replied in unison: Of course, they were afraid of the wolves.
Lao Qin asked again: Why are you afraid of wolves?
The intellectuals replied: How can wolves not be afraid of eating people.
Lao Qin continued to ask: Then why do wolves eat people?
Everyone replied one after another: The wolf is hungry, and it will naturally not let go easily when it touches people, and of course it will eat people.
Lao Qin put a large piece of wild boar meat into his mouth, picked up a bowl of bud grain wine and took a big sip before saying: In fact, in the eyes of wolves, they don't treat people as human beings when they eat people, just their food.
Lao Qin looked at a male intellectual, if the wolf comes, do you dare to hit it?
The male intellectuals replied decisively: Of course I don't dare to fight.
Lao Qin continued to ask: How could you not dare to fight?
The male intellectuals replied: The wolf is so powerful, the eyes of **, the sharp teeth, both fierce and cunning, people will beat the wolf.
Lao Qin pondered for a moment and said: A wolf wandered outside the village, and smelled the smell of pigs, sheep and chickens and ducks raised by the villagers from a distance, so it had to find a hidden place to lurk quietly, but after observation, there have always been people in the house, in the eyes of the wolf, the strange appearance of the human being, and the two legs will walk upright, and the size is much larger than the wolf, and it will use various tools, especially the iron tool with the smell of iron in the hand is the most taboo, once it is injured by this iron weapon, it has to shed its skin if it does not die.
It also found that the cattle raised by the villagers were several times larger than humans, but they were so well-behaved and docile in front of humans that they did not dare to resist at all, and when it saw these phenomena, it became even more afraid of humans, and finally came to the conclusion that people are terrible, and wolves are afraid of people.
After listening to this, the educated youths nodded again and again to indicate that Lao Qin's analysis was reasonable, and one of them asked thoughtfully: Since this wolf is afraid of people, why is there still the fact that wolves eat people?
Lao Qin picked up a burning firewood in the ** pile and lit the dry smoke, and took a few puffs before continuing: But not long after, the wolf lurked in the village again, it saw a woman with a child walking out of the door, and when passing another house, a dog about the size of the wolf barked at them, the woman and the child were so frightened that they screamed and kept running away, but they didn't run far before they were pounced and bitten by the dog.
Although women and children were bitten by dogs, they were not fatal, and when someone asked them why they ran when they saw a dog, their answer was that of course they had to run when they saw a dog, and the dog had sharp teeth, and they dared to fight against the dog, and they didn't have that guts.
Seeing this, the wolf understood another truth, it seems that not all humans are so strong, women and children are very weak, they don't even dare to fight dogs, let alone wolves, so it came to a conclusion, that is, women and children can eat.
Hearing this, the female intellectuals seemed to understand something.
Lao Qin held a dry tobacco pouch in one hand and smoked pot after pot, and with the other hand held a wine bowl, he took a few sips from time to time.
He paused and continued: I remember that it was a cold winter, the snow covered the mountains, the animals in the mountains and forests were struggling to get by, and a wolf was in trouble, it had not caught prey for a long time, and hunger forced it to go down the mountain into the village in search of food.
After a long and patient observation, it found that the chickens and ducks of the farmers in the village were firmly enclosed, the pigs and sheep were all locked in the enclosures, even the doors were locked, and every household had dogs, and the success rate of trying to steal them was almost zero.
Seeing this, it wants to give up, but it is so hungry that it may not be able to find food again, and it may not even survive this night, and it will freeze to death if it does not starve to death.
Suddenly, it found that 3 immature children were jumping up and down happily building snowmen on the hillside, smelling their body fragrance, not to mention how **, it quickly cheered up and approached step by step towards the place where the children played.
Finally he saw the moment, and with a flutter he knocked one of the children down, cut his throat with a swift blow, and then calmly dragged the child into the woods, the whole process was so easy and almost effortless that it was much easier than hunting the animals of the forest.
Since then, people have strengthened the supervision of children, and they will be told from an early age that wolves will eat children.
After hearing this, all the intellectuals sighed, and the female intellectuals continued to ask, did the wolf just pick the child to eat?
Lao Qin slowly chewed the wild boar in his mouth and said: Of course not, they will also choose the old, weak, sick and disabled to start.
He pondered for a moment and continued to explain in the form of a story: a wolf was wandering in the jungle, and suddenly found a group of wild boars eating nuts, and it quietly approached and attacked, but the wild boars were very vigilant, and they fled in an instant, leaving only the wolf messy in the wind.
Soon it found a hare gnawing on grass in the grass, and it was looking forward to good luck this time, although the rabbit was a little smaller, but it was better than no food, and it sneakily approached the hare, but the hare was even more clever, and at the slightest disturbance it plunged into the hole, and it had to walk forward in disappointment, looking for the next target.
Although wolves are considered masters of hunting in the animal kingdom, the probability of success in their hunting is still very low, and they often live a life of nine hungry meals.
The wolf had not been able to catch its prey for several days, it was already extremely hungry, its shriveled belly was hanging from its backbone, its physical strength was also being consumed little by little, the sun above its head was scorching its dizziness, and the Grim Reaper was slowly approaching it, and it felt extremely desperate and depressed.
And at this moment, it found a gray-haired old man walking slowly towards the mountain with a basket on his back, and his steps were staggering, and each step seemed extremely difficult.
It instantly focused its attention on the old man, patiently waiting for the opportunity, and suddenly it attacked, and jumped to the ground to push the old man to the ground, the old man struggled in horror to resist, but he was old and weak, ** was the wolf's opponent, and soon ran out of strength, and finally became the wolf's meal.
With this successful human capture, the wolf also realized that it seemed that it was much easier to hunt the old man than to hunt wild boars and hares.
Later, someone entered the mountain and found traces of wolf cannibalism, so they began to spread the story of wolf cannibalism, and as the rumors continued to be amplified, it also made people have a huge fear of wolves.
Lao Qin stroked his beard and groaned: "The wolf, although its body shape is similar to that of a dog, and its fangs and claws are the same, why has it become a fear in the hearts of the world?"When the educated youths heard this, they all looked at each other in amazement.
Lao Qin raised his eyes and smiled: "The ferocity of the wolf is not limited to its size, but also to the fierceness of its personality.
The goal of the dog is fearful, but the goal of the wolf will be a firm battle, without the idea of retreating.
The wolf also has wisdom. The dog's brain is blunt, but the wolf's wisdom is superior.
Unsure of the target, the wolf never attacks easily, once the battle situation is not in their favor, they can quickly give up.
Without careful observation and complete planning, the wolf never acts rashly.
Furthermore, the wolf has the endurance to persevere. The dog can't fight for a long time, but the wolf can hold out to the end.
Many animals and people were tragically attacked by wolves because they could not resist the long-distance tracking of wolves.
Deep in the mountains and forests, when humans and animals coexist, the wolf's first target is often living creatures.
In the animal world, wolves always target the old, weak, sick, and young as hunting targets.
Once the target is locked, the wolves will immediately use a division tactic to drive the stronger creatures away, and then concentrate their forces to encircle the weaker "prey".
When wolves can't find other prey, they turn their attacks to humans.
Of course, their targets are also the old, the weak, the sick and the young.
At this moment, man is no longer a human in the eyes of the wolf, but food.
Wolves have their unique attack methods, but also reveal the cruelty and reality of their survival.
Lao Qin said that people are afraid of wolves, but wolves are more afraid of people.
This is because wolves know that they will never be able to defeat humans.
It is a difficult task for hunters to want to hunt wolves.
Why?Because wolves are able to detect hunters with their keen sense of smell, they will then choose to stay away.
This is the intelligence of wolves, and their fear of humans runs deep into their bones.
Just like even a mighty tiger, once it smells a person, it will choose to avoid it in advance.
This is their deep fear of humans, and it is their nature to be afraid of humans.
Hearing this, the educated youths all breathed a sigh of relief, they felt that this wolf attacking humans was also pinched according to soft persimmons, and when they encountered a powerful opponent, they could only flee with their tails between their legs, and they were no longer so flustered when they heard the wolf howl in the distance.
Lao Qin turned around and went out to pick up a dead wood lump and put it into the fire, and the raging flames burned again.
He sat down slowly and recounted his experience of battling wolves.
More than 20 years ago, when he was still young, he had an inexhaustible energy, he went into the mountains to hunt, hunted a lot of pheasants and hares, and when he saw that it was not early, he happily carried the prey home.
But halfway to the road, he was targeted by the wolves, there were as many as 8 wolves to surround him, he knew very well that this wolf pack was actually trying to rob him of the prey on his shoulders, and if he couldn't grab the prey, he would bite his two hounds, and if he didn't want to give anything, he would eventually kill him.
He was at the age of strong blood at the time, ** would easily compromise with the wolves, raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the head wolf fell down in an instant.
The remaining 7 wolves wanted to escape, but they were not reconciled, and continued to deal with Lao Qin, he fired a second shot quickly, directly knocking the wolf that pounced on him 3 meters away.
Seeing that the situation was completely enraged, they all pounced on him, he drew his scimitar and with the cooperation of the hounds, he went crazy **, and fell down two more wolves, and the remaining 4 wolves were completely timid, turned around and fled towards the depths of the jungle, and soon disappeared without a trace.
With this ruthlessness, he saved the prey, the hound, and his life.
In the decades since this incident, the wolves have never approached Lao Qin again.
Therefore, wolves also know very well that only humans are their most formidable opponents, especially strong humans.
