Seeing that the other party was not a grape thief, Dong Qiangqiang's tense nerves immediately relaxed.
But he still had doubts, wondering why the other party was running around the garden with a red wine glass so late at night.
He was about to call the other person when he suddenly thought: The vineyard belongs to the other person and they can do whatever they like, but he is just hired by the other person to do the work. He has no control over the employer at all, let alone holding the red wine glass. The torch has nothing to do with me. Thinking of this, his open mouth slowly closed again.
At this moment, he heard Duanmu shouting in surprise from the other side behind him. The shout was a little shrill, as if he had been bitten by something.
Dong Qiangqiang was so frightened that he crawled out from under the vines and rushed towards Duanmu with his back bent.
When he saw Duanmu's appearance, he was really surprised, but this surprise was not fear, but joy.
Duanmu was seen holding the metal rope firmly with both hands. On the other end of the rope was an animal with small round ears. There was a circle of distinct fur around its eyes, and its mouth was protruding like a fox. A furry animal The big tail with clear lines was slapping the ground left and right, while its forelimbs were tied up with metal ropes, and it could only make an anxious low sound, which looked very angry.
The knot Dong Qiangqiang learned from the Germans was used to tie up wild boars. The more he struggled, the tighter it became.
"What, what is this thing?" Duanmu asked hurriedly when he saw Dong Qiangqiang coming back.
Dong Qiangqiang recognized it as soon as he saw it. He approached the animal and asked, "Didn't you eat crispy noodles when you were a child?"
"Have eaten it." Duanmu paused for two seconds after saying that, and stared at the animal for a while, and suddenly understood what Dong Qiangqiang meant, "Is this a raccoon?"
"That's right." Dong Qiangqiang said as he took out other ropes from his backpack and tied them to the raccoon. Then he tied the other end of the rope to the wooden stake of the nearby grapevine, and then untied the metal rope around the raccoon's forelimbs. "This This animal is not native to Germany, but is an alien species introduced by the Germans from other countries. Since there are few natural enemies in Germany, they reproduce very quickly. And one of the animals’ favorite foods is grapes. You You're lucky, we didn't come tonight in vain."
"What's next?" Duanmu wiped his sweat, and the nervousness just now disappeared.
"Just do what you did just now. I'll go find Johnson and ask for a bigger cage. We're not sure how many we can catch tonight. The rope I brought won't be enough."
"This job is a bit interesting. You have found the right person. I am a natural catcher." Duanmu relaxed and immediately boasted, "This kind of thing is easy for me. Just tell me whether we will catch 30 or 50 tonight." Just?"
"If you catch another one while I'm getting the cage, just do what I did just now: tie the second rope first and then untie the metal one." Dong Qiangqiang added uneasily, "But If what you caught is a wild boar, don’t rush to untie the rope and wait until I come back.”
"Wild boar?" Duanmu shuddered, immediately sat up and looked around nervously, "You said... there are wild boars here?"
"Of course, I guess the most popular grape eaters in this place besides raccoons are wild boars." Dong Qiangqiang waved his hand, "I'm waiting for the good news of your victory."
Duanmu swallowed and said with a troubled expression: "Then, what, how about I go get the cage? You come and catch one. I have been squatting for a long time, and my legs are numb."
Dong Qiangqiang wanted to ask Johnson what was going on with Count Telina by getting the cage. When Duanmu volunteered to get the cage, he guessed that he might be afraid of wild boars. He didn't point it out at the moment and said with a smile: "Well, remember to be polite. No matter what you say, he is still the earl’s butler.”
"I have a sense of propriety." Seeing Dong Qiangqiang agree, Duanmu stood up in a hurry and strode straight towards the back door of the winery. "I'll hold him in my arms and say it." He said without looking back.
Watching Duanmu's figure disappear among the grapevines, Dong Qiangqiang arranged the noose again, placed the walkman, and then quietly crouched in the shadows, patiently waiting for the next prey.
There was silence all around again. Looking at the few stars in the sky, Dong Qiangqiang remembered what his father said when he called on Sunday. He couldn't help but wonder how his parents could pay off the foreign debt with their small monthly pension. Finished?
Just as he was thinking about this, a rustling sound came from down the hillside. Dong Qiangqiang knew that another prey had appeared. He turned over and lay on the ground, concentrating on the direction of the sound.
Just as he was waiting eagerly, he suddenly discovered that there was a large group of moving black shadows in the gap between the grapevines on the opposite side. Along with the black shadows, there was a gasping sound of "吭哧吭哧".
Dong Qiangqiang did not dare to be careless and slowly wound the metal rope around his hand two more times.
Suddenly, a pair of shiny, ping-pong ball-sized light balls appeared in the shadows not far away.
Then more shiny balls of light appeared.
Dong Qiangqiang was very familiar with this kind of light ball, and he knew it was the eye of a wild boar. But what surprised him was that so many wild boars appeared this time.
At a quick count, ten came.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that wild boars like to come out in groups, but he had always encountered wild boars fighting alone before, and he had never encountered so many at once. It looks like this is a family group that comes here to eat for free.
After a few seconds of panic, he immediately woke up and quickly observed the group of wild boars. As I looked at them, I suddenly realized that although there were many of them, they were generally not large in size. The largest one only weighed seventy or eighty pounds, while the smaller one only weighed twenty or thirty pounds at most.
However, although they are not big in size, their appetite is amazing. They start to eat the grapes on the ground and the lowest part of the vine as if no one else is watching.
Dong Qiangqiang brought a metal rope over today. He regretted that he should have brought the big net if he had known this.
But it's useless to regret it now. I can only catch one.
A group of wild boars ate from the bottom up the hillside. A thin wild boar saw Dong Qiangqiang's bamboo basket at a glance. It neighed proudly and rushed over.
As soon as its front hooves stepped into the knot, Dong Qiangqiang saw the right moment and suddenly lifted it up. The knot under the soil was suddenly pulled out of the ground and tightened around the wild boar's front hooves.
The wild boar was in pain and struggled hard. Dong Qiangqiang did not dare to neglect and pulled the trapped wild boar with his hands and ran quickly towards the hillside.
The tethered wild boar roared and struggled to get rid of the metal rope, its hooves digging several marks on the ground.
Dong Qiangqiang was running when he heard a sound of running behind him. He turned around and saw a few wild boars throwing down grapes and running towards him.
He originally planned to throw this one in the room prepared by Johnson and then return to catch the others, but before he could run to the back door, the wild boar had already killed him not far behind him.
Dong Qiangqiang was about to run into the back door when he heard a "bang" and the back door was opened. Duanmu was standing in the door dragging a large iron cage and was about to walk out.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang suddenly appear at the door, Duanmu was stunned: "Hey, why are you here?"
"Get out of the way." Dong Qiangqiang yelled and rushed directly into the door.
"Hey, hey, what's going on?" Duanmu responded and was knocked upside down by Dong Qiangqiang. He fell towards the firewood pile next to the door.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't bother to explain. He swung his right hand vigorously, and the wild boar, which was trapped by the metal rope, even rolled on the ground and fell into the door.
With the force of the swing, Dong Qiangqiang quickly turned around and faced the door. He saw that the fastest wild boars chasing him had already arrived at the door. Without thinking too much, he slammed the door hard with his hand.
But the door was not closed.
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned and felt a black shadow flash under his legs. His legs were hurt by the black shadow.
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly struggled to close the door with his hands. At the same time, he pressed his shoulders against the iron door, gritted his teeth and inserted the bolt of the iron door into the hole of the bolt.
At this time, a series of dull banging sounds were heard coming from outside the door.
Dong Qiangqiang leaned against the door, feeling as if several sledgehammers were hitting his back at the same time.
Before he could recover, he saw a pair of shining eyes staring at him in the shadow opposite him.
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly felt that the air was stagnant.
