Chapter 114 Returning with a Full Load
Two minutes later, Yue Feng was still a little dazed when Xiao Tao came towards him with his long legs.

Xiao Tao didn’t notice the blind bear on the ground at first, and all his attention was on Yue Feng.

“Brother! What are you doing? Staring blankly?”

Yue Feng rubbed his face which was a little numb from the cold and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

“It’s okay, I just feel a little touched! The one I saved was Uncle Chen Pao, and he gave me this bear!”

“Where’s Uncle Chen? Is he not hurt?”

“Mr. Chen lost a tough dog, and he was in a bad mood, so he led the other dogs away from the forest!”

“No wonder, the dog is broken…it’s really a pity!”

Some people may not understand why the protagonist and Xiao Tao both seem to be grieving over the death of another hunter’s hunting dog.

Because, although hunting dogs are tools used by hunters to hunt in the mountains, the effort put into them makes the relationship between people and dogs far more than just that of master and tool.

They are the result of hard work, trust, and countless days and nights of fighting together.

Hunters are very attached to their dogs. Even those second-rate hunters, if their dogs die accidentally while hunting in the mountains, no one will bring the dog’s body home to cook and eat, or give it away or sell it for money. Xiao Tao has been influenced by this since he was a child and knows the saying.

“Okay, let’s go!” Yue Feng took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and then stood up again.

“Then what should we do with this blind bear? This big guy must weigh at least three or four hundred pounds! Should we just leave it here?” Xiao Tao asked, pointing at the dead black bear behind him.

Yue Feng slapped his head, took the knife from Xiao Tao and walked to the bear’s corpse.

“Take down the valuable parts first and take them away. Come back tomorrow to drag the rest home!”

While speaking, Yue Feng very skillfully used the knife to remove the bear’s front and back four paws, followed by the bear’s nose and kneecap.

Everyone knows that bear paws are of high value, especially those that have just arrived in winter. They are almost at their plumpest stage of the year and have the highest quality.

The bear’s nose is also a medicinal ingredient. It can be roasted and ground into powder to treat epilepsy. The bear’s kneecap is known as false tiger bone and can be used to make wine, which is very effective in treating rheumatism.

The treasures on the bear were removed, leaving only the internal organs hanging on the branches and a corpse lying on the ground. Yue Feng and Xiao Tao each held two bear paws and rushed towards the team.

Dragging the sled was already not easy, and with the addition of the four bear paws, the pressure increased a bit. The group of four dragged the sled and pulled the wild boar back home in a mighty procession.

After Yue Feng and others left the bear hunting site, the big black eagle that would come to patrol when it heard the sound of gunfire came again.

At this moment, there is still nearly half of the wild boar offal meat that has not been digested in the crop on its chest, but this guy seems to have a strong sense of crisis awareness. As long as he hears gunshots within a certain range, he will come to the scene to take a look.

This time, the big black eagle swooped down with its wings folded and landed on the scene where the black bear had been ripped open. The huge remains of the black bear lay there, emitting a strong smell of blood.

Quack, quack, quack!

The cry of the big black hawk was completely different from that of the common goshawk. It sounded like a hen laying eggs, and it jumped onto the broken head of the black bear.

The big black eagle tilted its head and looked around the black bear’s body carefully. It took a bite of the fat in the black bear’s abdomen, smacking the taste, and quickly shook its head to get rid of the fat and meat in its mouth.

The big black eagle doesn’t like this high-fat meat.

I moved to a position closer to the red meat and took a few bites. The breast meat tasted better, but it was still not as good as the tender meat such as the heart, liver and lungs.

After tasting meat from three different parts of the body, Big Black Hawk finally chose to eat the meat on the bear’s face, its eyes, and the remaining brain matter.

The taste of bear face meat and brain was the first time for the Big Black Eagle to taste it in its life. It liked it very much. After filling its crop again, the sky gradually darkened.

The big black eagle looked around and quickly selected a big tree.

I saw it leap up and fly onto a large south-facing branch more than 20 meters above the ground. It moved back and forth on the trunk in a small range several times to find the most comfortable place. Soon it stood on one paw and squatted on the tree without moving.

The well-fed black eagle’s eyelids closed, and its feathers fluffed up into a huge ball of hair. Even its sharp claws that were grabbing the tree trunk were completely covered by the fluffy belly feathers.

On the other side, after three and a half hours of dragging with the load, the four brothers Yue Feng finally dragged the prey into the village.

The last time Yue Feng used the village loudspeaker to sell wild boar meat, it caused quite a stir in the village. After all, the price of 30 cents per pound was much more affordable than domestic pork. Many people went too late and missed out, and they regretted it very much.

Among those who failed to buy wild boar meat was the family of Li Yinhua, the director of the village intelligence department.

Because the Li family runs a convenience store in the village, their family conditions are definitely among the best in the village.

She got the news quite late, but her family didn’t raise fat pigs, so she didn’t buy wild boar meat for her own consumption and save the fat pigs to sell for money.

In addition, the people playing cards in the store had not left, so Li Yinhua still had to serve the game in the store. When her husband came back in the evening, Li Yinhua went to Yue Feng’s house to buy meat, but it had already been sold out.

Today was different. From a distance, Li Yinhua saw Yue Feng and his companions dragging a sled slowly moving forward at the door of the house. She immediately wrapped herself in a thick cotton jacket and went out to greet them.

When she got closer, Li Yinhua was shocked to see four people dragging four sleds, on which were tied five or six wild boars of different sizes. After seeing clearly, Li Yinhua immediately opened her mouth and called out, “Xiaofeng, how come you killed so many wild boars in the mountains?”

“Aunt, yes! I’m lucky to have you here!” Yue Feng grinned as a greeting.

“Are these pigs for sale? I went too late last time and didn’t get any meat! You can’t leave me out today, can you cut some for me? I have a scale in my room!” Li Yinhua looked up and down at the pigs on the sled and immediately fell in love with the largest female wild boar.

“Well, there’s only one cannon egg among these pigs, the others are sows, and sow meat is expensive, so I don’t plan to sell it in the village!”

Li Yinhua was a very shrewd person, and she would definitely be very picky when cutting some meat. Yue Feng didn’t want to go through this trouble.

“What are you talking about? You’ve killed so many pigs and you’re still calculating the details! Don’t go. I’ll go get the scale and cut some meat for me!” Li Yinhua said, without responding to Yue Feng’s comment about the high price and low price of meat.

They were all relatives in the village, so there was no direct conflict. It would not be appropriate for Yue Feng to turn around and leave, so he had to signal Xiao Tao to drag the pig on his sled over to him. If he wanted to cut the meat, he had to cut it from this pig.

Soon, Li Yinhua came out of the house with a scale.

“Come, cut a piece of fat for your aunt! Why did you take out the eggs? We don’t want this, we want the meat from the fattest sow!” Li Yinhua said, pointing at the fat pig she had just picked out.

“That’s fine, but the city canteen buys sow meat for 70 cents a pound without a ticket, so it’s not as affordable as eggs!” Yue Feng said in advance. “Isn’t it 30 cents? What’s wrong, nephew, are you and your aunt still trying to raise the price?”

When Li Yinhua heard Yue Feng’s offer of 70 cents per pound, her smiling expression instantly fell.

Yue Feng pointed at the eggs at his feet and said, “Eggs are three cents. Sows have a fixed market and we don’t plan to sell them in the village! If you really want them, I’ll give you six cents at the lowest price!”

“50 cents! I’ll cut more!”

“You can go back to the market and have a look. It seems there are cheaper ones there!”

Yue Feng smiled and winked at Xiao Tao, who picked up the pig’s trotter and lifted it onto the sled.

It was right at the doorstep, without even a rope to tie it up, they just pulled it and left.

“Don’t go! I’ve taken out the scales, you…”

Li Yinhua still wanted to take advantage of Yue Feng. After all, the child was young and she couldn’t afford to lose face, so she agreed reluctantly.

But unexpectedly, Yue Feng would not tolerate that bad habit at all.

In fact, does Yue Feng need these few cents or a few pounds of meat? Not to mention a difference of 10 cents per pound, even if he cut off 10 pounds of meat to give away, wouldn’t it just be a fraction of what he got today?

I didn’t dare to say it before, but now that we have dragged back six pigs, these few pounds of meat are definitely not a big deal. Neighbors and others have given more than these few pounds of meat away for free.

In his previous life, Yue Feng suffered a lot when he was young because he was too embarrassed to do so. People like Li Yinhua would always try to take advantage of Yue Feng whenever they saw him coming back from hunting wild animals. Over time, the amount accumulated was not a small amount.

When Yue Feng’s family fell into poverty and needed help, which of these people who had once received favors from the Yue family and taken advantage of them would lend a hand?
not a single one!

Therefore, in his two lives, Yue Feng will never make the same mistake twice. To those who are good to me, I can repay them without principles, but to those outsiders who want to take advantage of me, Yue Feng will definitely not suffer such a loss just to save face.

Watching Yue Feng and his four companions dragging the sled farther and farther away from her, Li Yinhua stomped her feet heavily, feeling humiliated, and went back to the house angrily.

“Hua, aren’t you going to cut meat? Where’s the meat?” Li Yinhua’s husband Wang Weiguo asked casually.

Li Yinhua threw the scale on the table and said angrily: “They only sell cheap eggs, sow meat is not cheap! I thought of buying 10 or 8 kilograms of pigs at 50 cents a pound, but when they heard it, they lifted the pig onto the sled and turned around and left!
It’s just a few wild boars, look how proud he is of them! I watched the two boys from Yue Lei’s family grow up under my care, but Yue Feng is not as honest as his brother Yue Shan!”

“Okay, it doesn’t matter if we didn’t catch it! He is not the only family in the village who goes up the mountain to hunt. If we come across other families that have killed wild boars, we can go and buy some. We still have two kilograms of meat at home, let’s eat it first!” Wang Weiguo said slowly.

“You, your wife was humiliated outside, but you don’t take it seriously at all! I just work in the convenience store now, otherwise I would have to go to Yue’s house to talk to Yue Lei!” Li Yinhua was still angry and said while trying to save face.

……

After the little incident at the village entrance, Yue Feng and his three companions dragged the sled and reached home safely.

When four sleds full of wild boars were placed in the yard, the sense of pride of returning from a successful hunt instantly reached its peak.

Meng Yulan heard the noise and immediately came out of the house. After seeing the wild boars in the yard, she was immediately excited.

“Dad, come out and see! Your son has gone up the mountain and destroyed a wild boar den! He has killed so many wild boars in one trip!”

Hearing the call, Yue Lei also came out of the house on crutches. After glancing at the prey on the ground, he happened to meet his son’s eyes.

“Have you found the pigs? We’ve got a great harvest in the mountains today!” Yue Lei said with a smile.

“Hehe, why don’t you see whose son he is? As long as he is from the root!!” Yue Feng also smiled.

“Is everyone okay after killing so many pigs?”

“It’s okay. Xiao Tao got some pig blood on him, and his cotton pants are a little dirty, but everything else is fine! By the way, Mom, please scrub the pot clean. Scrub it several times. There must not be any oil spots. Then boil the water!” After Yue Feng responded, he gave his mother a new instruction.

“What are you going to do? The hominy in the pot just stopped cooking!”

Yue Feng took out a small white cloth from his arms like a magician, shook it, and said proudly: “Dip it in bear bile!”

“What? Did you kill any blind bears this time you went up the mountain? Did you kill any bears, or did you just run into some icy bears?”

When Yue Lei heard that his son was going to dip in bear bile, he could no longer sit still, although he was quite calm a second ago.

Bears are not wild boars. As long as they know a little bit, they will climb trees when there is danger. This is much safer in terms of their habits.

But if a bear hibernating in a warehouse is awakened and activated, its aggressiveness will be different. This creature is extremely tenacious and quite cunning, and killing a bear is extremely risky. Even if you have a 56 and a half gun, it may not be completely secure without a good hunting dog to hold it back.

“Don’t be nervous. We bumped into him on the way back. Old Chen Pao from Fang’an Village next door was killing bears with his dog alone, and he had a heart attack. A few of us passed by…”

Yue Feng told the whole story how he rescued the people and how he killed the bear.

Yue Lei nodded and said, “So that’s how it is. You’re right. If you carry a gun up the mountain, you have to follow the rules of the mountain. It’s not okay to watch someone die without helping.

But if something like this happens again, you must save the person, but you must prioritize your own safety! The bear is still on the mountain? How about I go to the village office early tomorrow morning to borrow a horse carriage, and go up the mountain with you to drag the bear back? ? “

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “Forget it, the bear has a smell, and it will scare the horse again! My uncle Li has a big sled at home. Let’s go there tomorrow morning, put the bear on the sled, and drag it back in one trip!”

“What should we do with these pigs? It’s getting dark! Should we get rid of them today?”

“No need. It took us several hours on the way back. The pigs are frozen solid. It’s hard to clean them up now! I’ll bury them in the snow pile at the foot of the wall first. I’ll carry one on my back and send it directly to the canteen tomorrow!
“Oh, dad, let’s not sell these three little yellow-haired pigs. The meat is delicious, but it doesn’t have much taste. After we clean it up, we can divide the meat among ourselves and eat it!” Yue Feng said, pointing at the little yellow-haired pigs.

“Okay, this little yellow-haired guy is really delicious! Take off one of his legs and we can stew it at home tonight!”

“Oh, by the way, I also brought back the bear’s paw, bear’s nose, and kneecap! This bear weighs three or four hundred kilograms, and the paw is not small either, it must weigh several kilograms!”

When Jingjing heard the word “bear paw”, she could no longer hold back her excitement after being at the doorstep watching the wild boar in the yard.
