Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 113: Saving People, Hunting Black Bears for the First Timeavi
Chapter 113: Saving People, First Experience of Hunting Black Bears avi
The strange black eagle that ate pigeons that Yue Feng encountered when he was hunting eagles on Hutou Mountain in autumn was actually a black gyrfalcon. It was just that this guy was too smart and didn’t give Yue Feng any chance several times.
[Note: Gyrfalcons are divided into three categories: dark color, white color, and intermediate color. According to literature records, the white color Gyrfalcon is its true color, and its breeding grounds are high-latitude areas close to the Arctic Circle, such as Iceland. As for the dark color, it is suspected that there is a breeding record in Altay.
Some people also say that the dark-colored Gyrfalcon is the offspring of a natural hybrid between a light-colored Gyrfalcon and a Saker Falcon. In any case, the pure black wild Gyrfalcon is a very precious falcon. Many falconers who make a living by hunting hawks have been falconers for the royal family for generations. Many people will never see a Gyrfalcon in their entire lives, let alone a pure black Gyrfalcon.
Now, the Changbai Mountain Street Hawk heard the gunshots and came over to eat the offerings to the mountain god hung on the trees by the hunters after hunting, but Yue Feng and his companions stayed there to rest and have lunch and did not leave, so the big black hawk kept circling in a small range overhead and waiting.
After the brothers had eaten and drunk their fill, they loaded the sled and headed back home. When the big black eagle in the sky saw them going far away, it folded its wings and swooped down, soon landing at the scene where the wild boar was being gutted.
He ate the fresh wild boar heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs hanging on the tree with relish. After eating his fill, he quickly took off and disappeared into the sky above the forest.
On the other side, the four Yue Feng brothers were humming tunes and dragging their sleds towards home.
Each person’s sled had at least 200 kilograms of weight, but no one complained of being tired.
This is the harvest from going into the mountains. Even if we sell two-thirds of it, the remaining one-third will be enough for everyone to eat until the New Year.
People are in high spirits when they are happy, and naturally everyone is in a good mood after returning triumphantly. They talked and laughed along the way, stopped and walked, and unknowingly left the area of Sandagang.
When Yue Feng and his four companions were almost halfway through their journey and had arrived near Forest Area No. 17, they suddenly heard a gunshot coming from a mountain not far away.
When Yue Feng heard the gunshot, he was suddenly startled, then signaled everyone to be quiet and he listened attentively.
There was the sound of hounds barking, and the barking was not a good thing. It sounded very urgent but helpless.
“Something seems to be wrong!” Yue Feng stopped laughing and looked serious.
“Something is wrong. Someone is hunting in the mountains! I can hear dogs barking!” Xiao Tao didn’t care.
“It’s the barking of dogs that’s the problem!”
As the few people were discussing, another roar was heard from the woods.
┗|`O′|┛哦~~
The voice was low but full of charm. Even hearing it from such a distance, I felt a chill down my spine and the hair on my body and scalp stood up as if I had been electrocuted.
“Shit, it’s Blind Xiong! You guys keep an eye on the things here, I’ll go over and take a look, maybe someone killed Xiong Cangzi by accident!”
Hearing the bear roar, Yue Feng immediately took the gun off his shoulder, opened his backpack, took out the bullets and loaded them with ten bullets, then strode towards the direction of the sound.
There are certain rules for hunting in the mountains, just like when a fishing boat encounters a person who falls into the water while sailing on the sea, they must rescue him. If other hunters are in danger, most people will lend a helping hand.
Yue Feng now has 56 and a half in his hand, which allows him to fight against a terrifying beast like a black bear.
From the sound of the gunshot, Yue Feng could tell that it was the sound of a No. 16 rifle being fired. Because the barrel was tightly sealed when firing, the sound of a rifle with a barrel was duller, not as crisp as a No. 56 semi-automatic gun.
This thing reloads bullets after each shot. If you make a mistake at close range, you won’t have a chance to reload. There are only two types of people who dare to shoot bears with a 16-gauge barreled shotgun. Either they are extremely daring idiots or they are macho men who are extremely confident in their marksmanship.
Just as Yue Feng heard the noise and ran away, a life-and-death battle was taking place in the pine forest in the distance.
A hunter who looked to be in his 16s, holding a -gauge rifle, ran and tried to reload, circling a huge fire and following the black bear.
In the past, he could reload the bullets in a few breaths with his eyes closed, but at this moment he couldn’t load it at all. His fingers seemed to be out of control and were shaking violently.
The old hunter was none other than Chen Zhenshan, the old man who had threatened to sell his guns and dogs.
As he ran, Lao Chen felt his chest becoming more and more stuffy and breathing became more and more difficult.
Suddenly, Lao Chen’s eyes went dark, he stumbled and fell, and was soon knocked to the ground by the blind bear that was chasing him.
Seeing their master being knocked down by the blind bear, the two hunting dogs that had not dared to move forward suddenly rushed over like crazy and bit the blind bear’s butt.
The blind bear had thick skin and flesh, and didn’t care about being bitten by the dog. It waved its two claws and scratched Old Chen Pao on the ground.
Fortunately, Lao Chen Pao was wearing thick clothes, including a tight leather vest under his cotton coat, otherwise these few blows would have been enough to seriously injure him.
At this critical moment, Yue Feng rushed to the battlefield which was completely out of control with a gun in hand.
Yue Feng didn’t care about anything else. He found a tree to lean on, stood up, put the gun to his face, and aimed the crosshairs at the black bear lying on Lao Chen.
boom!
Boom!
With a gunshot, the blind bear who was scratching around with his head down was shot in the shoulder. He put down the old man on the ground, growled, and rushed towards Yue Feng frantically.
Yue Feng stood there motionless. After the bear leaped forward seven or eight steps, he fired two more shots in succession.
One bullet hit the V-shaped white hair on the black bear’s chest, and the other bullet hit the black bear’s head, opening its skull and killing it instantly.
Yue Feng confirmed that the black bear had been killed by a headshot and immediately rushed towards the person on the ground.
“Uncle Chen! What’s up? Wake up!”
Yue Feng supported Chen Pao and patted his face gently, but the old man’s lips turned purple, his consciousness was blurred, and his right hand was covering his chest in pain.
Upon seeing this, Yue Feng immediately searched the other person’s cotton-padded jacket pockets and found a small medicine bottle in the left pocket.
This is a quick-acting heart-saving pill for treating myocardial infarction. Yue Feng immediately poured out a few pills and pinched Lao Chen’s mouth to feed the medicine.
The quick-acting heart-saving pills took effect very quickly. After taking a few pills, Chen Pao’s face looked much better in a short time. After another two minutes, Chen Pao let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. “Uncle Chen, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?” Yue Feng took out a water bottle from his bag and fed Chen Pao some water.
“Am I dead? Who are you?” Chen Pao was a little confused. He felt that the young man in front of him looked a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him.
“No, you’re not dead! I killed the blind bear! You’re okay now! How do you feel? Is there anything wrong with your body?” Yue Feng asked while checking.
“You shot and saved me? Which village are you from?”
“I’m Yue Feng from Xing’an Village. My father’s name is Yue Lei. He knows you!” Yue Feng introduced himself.
“It turns out to be Yue Lei’s child. I was wondering why he looked familiar! I’m fine. I guess my back was scratched a few times. Can you help me take a look?”
Just now, the blind bear scratched Uncle Chen’s cotton-padded jacket randomly without any purpose, almost tearing it into shreds. However, apart from two shallow bloody cuts on the edge of the shoulder, there were no injuries on the back.
The heaviest scratches were blocked by the close-fitting cowhide vest, leaving several deep claw marks on the thick cowhide vest, which almost scratched through it completely.
“It’s nothing, most of the injuries are blocked by the leather vest. It’s just that the shoulder is unprotected and there are two shallow scratches! Don’t worry, sit on the ground for a while and relax!” After Yue Feng finished checking, he wanted to help Uncle Chen sit up.
“Don’t worry about me, I’m not going to die. Go check on my dogs first! Dahei and Qinglang were injured by a blind bear just now!” After knowing that he was not seriously injured, the old man immediately begged Yue Feng to go check on his dogs.
Yue Feng quickly responded: “Okay, don’t worry!”
Yue Feng followed the direction pointed by the old man. In addition to the green dog that was killed on the spot with its skull bitten through, he also found a black dog that was knocked unconscious under a big lime tree that was as thick as a man could hug.
There were four dogs in total, one was killed in the battle, two were slightly injured, and the smallest yellow dog was basically uninjured.
“A big green dog was bitten to death, and the other two dogs were slightly injured. Do you have the money to spare? I’ll give them some simple treatment. The bear’s claws tore off a piece of skin on the dog’s arm, and it will need stitches after we go down the mountain!” Yue Feng said in a deep voice, suppressing his emotions.
“Blue Wolf!!!!”
When Uncle Chen saw Yue Feng coming towards him holding a large blue-gray dog, he immediately became anxious and tried to stand up shakily. After struggling for several times, he still felt a little dizzy and sat back on the ground.
This blue wolf is Uncle Chen’s chief gang dog, and is well-known for his toughness. It is usually the one that does all the dirty and tiring work. Whenever the leader dog attacks, this blue wolf will definitely be the first to lead the charge. You can tell from its mottled fur that this dog is very tough. The lines that are different from the normal growth direction of the fur are scars formed after old wounds healed, and they are also the blue wolf’s medals.
But now, there were two bloody holes on its head, and it was completely silent.
“Alas! A clay pot will break if it is not away from the well, a great general will inevitably die in battle, and a good hunting dog should die in the mountains. This is its fate. Please accept my condolences, sir!”
Yue Feng sighed, feeling somewhat reluctant, and turned his head away from looking at the dead hound.
Old Chen looked at the blue wolf that had already lost its life. For a moment, it seemed as if the light in his eyes had been drained away. He just held the dog in a daze, his thoughts having drifted away to who knows where.
Yue Feng, who was standing nearby, pulled the other two injured dogs to Lao Chen’s side, found some tobacco powder in Lao Chen’s bag, applied it to the injured dogs to stop the bleeding, then untied his leggings and carefully bandaged the injured parts of the two dogs.
The hunting dog was very human-like. It knew that Yue Feng had saved its master, and it also knew that it was being bandaged, so it just groaned softly to endure the pain, and did not scream, allowing Yue Feng to treat its wounds.
After the wound was treated, Lao Chen slowly came back to his senses.
Yue Feng asked, “Uncle Chen, where is your knife? The gallbladder of this blind bear has not been taken out yet. If time passes, the gallbladder will be absorbed!”
Old Chen nodded woodenly, stood up and took out a knife from a backpack not far away, then walked up to the black bear that had fallen to the ground, glanced at it a few times, and then skillfully cut open its belly and took out the lantern and bear gall.
This bear gall was an ordinary dark green grass gall. The old man took out a small white cloth bag from his pocket, stuffed the complete bear gall into the bag, and then handed the small bag directly to Yue Feng.
“You saved my life today, so I won’t say those corny words to you! You killed the bear, so I’ll give you this courage!”
Yue Feng waved his hands after hearing this: “No way, you found this bear, I just heard something wrong and wanted to come over to help, not to interfere and divide the prey!”
“What? Do you think the things are not good and not worth my life?” Uncle Chen’s face changed and his tone became a little colder.
These hunters who deal with prey in the mountains all year round all have their own temperaments. Chen Pao appears cold on the outside but is warm-hearted on the inside. He enjoys a high reputation in the local hunter circle and is very disciplined in his daily work. If there are conflicts between many Mesozoic hunters, they will most likely ask him to mediate.
When Yue Feng heard this, he knew that Uncle Chen was angry, and hurriedly shook his head: “No, no, I want the guts, that’s not what I meant!”
“That’s better! And I don’t want this black blind either, so find a way to get rid of it! I’ll go find a good place for Qinglang!”
Chen Pao picked up the blue wolf’s body with some difficulty, and moved slowly, step by step, to the sturdy basswood tree where the bear was squatting in the warehouse.
Just like that, he used his hands to peel off the snow shell bit by bit, and then buried the blue wolf in it. Before covering the blue wolf with snow again and again, the old man stared at the collar on the blue wolf’s neck and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he did not take it off and buried it all in the snow.
There was a small snow mound leaning against the big tree where the black bear was squatting. Not far away was the dead black bear. Old Chen Pao squatted there, tears streaming down his face.
Yue Feng seemed to feel something called fate from this picture and he let out a long sigh.
“Uncle, the dog hasn’t been fed yet? I’ll feed it for you.” Yue Feng wanted to distract Old Chen Pao from being too sad, so he brought up the topic for the sake of conversation.
“I’d better feed my dog myself. It won’t eat if others feed it!” Uncle Chen replied in a low voice. He then walked to the blind bear’s body, cut the heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs into strips with a knife, and then fed them to the other three dogs surrounding him.
After the three dogs were full, Uncle Chen finally recovered.
“Man, it’s getting late, I have to go home! See you later!!”
Uncle Chen got on his No. 16 rifle, put on his backpack, led the three dogs, and walked out of the forest in a somewhat lonely manner, slowly disappearing from Yue Feng’s sight.
