Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 126: Touching the fur will not scare you
Chapter 126: Touching the fur will not scare you
The helper dogs were not as naughty as the lead dog, so they would bark a few times every once in a while. When Da Huang heard it in the distance, he would also bark a few times in response. Thanks to the information relay of these three dogs, Yue Feng and his three companions did not fall behind.
During the pursuit, Yue Feng also tried his best to observe the traces on the ground around him. The snow at night blurred the footprints of the injured black bear, but bloodstains could occasionally be seen on the ground. This made Yue Feng very confident that there must be no problem with the direction of Dahuang’s pursuit.
The chase lasted from less than 7:30 in the morning until nearly 10 o’clock.
The four brothers were full of energy at the beginning, but gradually their physical strength began to fail, and towards the end they had to take a break to catch their breath every few hundred meters.
In two and a half hours, the Yuefeng Hunting Team walked at least seven or eight kilometers of mountain roads. You can imagine the intensity of the effort.
This injured blind bear probably didn’t stop after it bit the man to death, and kept moving towards the deep mountains and forests.
By half past ten, even Yue Feng couldn’t bear it anymore. The howling north wind entered his lungs, and it felt like a sharp knife cutting him. If he continued to chase, his lungs would explode!
“Brother, it’s no use. Let’s fire a shot and call the dogs back! Let’s take a break. We can’t walk anymore!” Xiao Tao said while panting.
Yue Feng thought about it and did not rush to fire his gun or shout at the dogs. Instead, he stood where he was and looked into the distance. Then he closed his eyes and quietly recalled the terrain of the surrounding area in his head.
The higher you go, the steeper the mountain becomes and the higher the altitude becomes. We have gradually reached the edge of Area 24 of the forest farm. Going higher, we will reach the deep mountains and old forests where few people go.
It is indeed time to call the dog. What if the distance between the two is too far and the dog catches up with the bear, but the man cannot catch up in time? What if the dog is injured by the bear? It will not be worth it.
Thinking of this, Yue Feng opened the safety of 56 and a half.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger to fire a shot, Yue Feng’s ears moved slightly and he vaguely heard the rapid barking of a dog.
“We should have caught up with him! Listen to the dogs barking!” Yue Feng said decisively, lowering his gun.
Xiao Wen, who had been following silently beside him, listened attentively for a while and said, “I heard it too. Let’s go quickly. I feel a little anxious when I hear the barking of dogs. It’s not a good thing!!”
Yue Feng nodded: “Put the sled and unnecessary belongings here first, and let’s hurry up and chase the dog!”
After listening to this, Xiaowen nodded, put some of the things he had with him on the sled, and then drew a big circle around the sled with his toes.
This is an unwritten rule in the mountains. Hunters who go up the mountain must temporarily put down the items they carry if an emergency occurs. Just draw a circle like this. In this way, anyone who abides by the rules will know that this is someone else’s property, and generally no one will touch it.
Everyone took off their bags, picked up their guns and knives, and ran towards the direction of the barking dog again.
As the saying goes, “a horse can die if you run too fast to see the mountain, and a person can die if you hear a dog barking.” The four brothers ran in the direction of the barking dogs for half an hour, and they at least climbed over two hills, but the sound of the barking dogs was still far ahead.
After chasing for more than ten minutes, Yue Feng finally saw some traces of a fight between the dog and the bear.
There were a lot of footprints on the ground left by bears and hounds, and among the bear’s footprints, there were occasionally some deep red bloodstains.
“The dog must have temporarily trapped the bear here! Judging from these traces, the dog should be fine! Let’s chase it further, we should be there soon!” Yue Feng continued to cheer.
After chasing along another ridge, Yue Feng and his three companions finally saw the barking dog on the sunny side of a Tiaoshitang mountainside.
There were three dogs, not one missing, and from the looks of it, no one was injured, but there was no trace of the injured black bear.
“Huh…Huh…Brother, where’s Xiong?” Xiao Tao panted, with his hands on his waist.
Yue Feng glanced at the terrain around the hillside and frowned slightly.
“The terrain of Tiaoshitang is complicated! Be careful, everyone!” Xiaowen also reminded while leaning on his spear.
Yue Feng said: “It must have been chased by a bear and got stuck in a crack in the rock! Don’t worry, let’s go down and take a look!”
After saying this, Yue Feng took the lead and walked towards the location of the three dogs.
Sure enough, when we got down the ridge and walked up to the front, we could see clearly that the place where the three dogs were barking was a stone cave on the sunny side of the hillside.
Yue Feng had been to this area once in his previous life, but he had no memory of this stone cave. This was understandable, after all, Changbai Mountain was huge, covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and Yue Feng had not even visited one percent of this area in his previous life.
The four men looked at the stone cave, feeling a little nervous. They thought it would be a thrilling battle, but in the end the bear was chased by the dogs and got into the cave in a hurry. It was really difficult to deal with it for the time being.
“What should we do? Or shoot a bullet inside?” Xiao Tao asked.
Yue Feng did not answer in a hurry. He held the gun and slowly moved forward cautiously. After he walked to Dahuang’s side, he patted Dahuang’s head and called him a good dog. Dahuang was so praised that his tail almost shook like a helicopter.
The cave is quite deep and you can’t see the bottom at a glance. You can’t shoot randomly in this situation. What if you hit the bear’s vitals and it dies in the cave? A bear weighing hundreds of kilograms cannot be pulled out in a short time.
“Gather some fallen leaves and branches, and we’ll use fire and smoke to smoke it out! Do you still have the dog rope? Let’s restrain the dog temporarily!” Yue Feng made up his mind quickly.
“Then use fire. I’ll go chop some pine branches! They’re very oily!”
Soon, except for Yue Feng who was standing guard with a gun not far from the cave entrance, the other three people dispersed to gather ignition materials.
After about ten minutes, several people came back dragging dead branches and other fire-starting materials.
Xiaowu came back the latest, but he was dragging a piece of pine torch with him, which produced a lot of smoke when lit.
In this way, the brothers piled branches and pine torches at the entrance of the cave, and then lit a fire.
In the dry and cold climate, tree branches in the wild are actually very flammable. With the help of pine torches, the flames soon started. Several people carefully poked the branches into the hole, and then placed the last fresh red pine branch on top of the fire.
Fresh pine branches extinguished the flames, and for a moment, thick smoke billowed.
Not to mention the bear in the cave, even Yue Feng and the others outside felt uncomfortable with the smoke. Less than three minutes after the smoke started, an angry bear roar was heard from the cave, and a blind bear weighing more than 300 pounds randomly pushed aside the smoking branches and rushed out of the cave.
Yue Feng had been holding his gun and paying attention all the time. When he saw the bear coming out of the cave, he pulled the trigger decisively.
Bang bang bang bang!
Five shots in a row, three shots left a white V-shape on the chest, and two shots hit the bear’s huge head. Under the metal jet of the 7.62mm medium-power bullet, the bear’s crown was blown open by the bullets.
The huge bear body fell down with its head tilted back, and large amounts of bear blood soaked the rocks and snow beneath it.
Hearing their owner firing a gun, the three dogs that were temporarily tied up also started barking.
Yue Feng cautiously approached the bear and observed it carefully. It was indeed a seriously injured bear. The scars from yesterday and the day before yesterday were very obvious, and the edges of the wounds had turned black.
After making sure that this big baby could not be deader, Yue Feng waved his hand and shouted: “Fuck it! Master, bleed this bear, gut it, and feed it to the dogs!!” Upon hearing the call, the three dogs were let loose again, and they excitedly bit the fallen bear’s body madly.
Xiao Tao was carrying a slashing knife. When he heard the call, he pulled out the handle of the knife and walked up to the blind bear holding the knife.
At this moment, Xiao Tao couldn’t tell whether he was nervous or excited, his right hand holding the knife was shaking the whole time.
This was the first time he personally witnessed the shooting of Hei Xia Zi. The last time Yue Feng rescued Chen Pao, the battle was over when Xiao Tao arrived and he didn’t see it.
Just as Xiao Tao squatted down with a knife in hand, preparing to drain the blood from the blind bear and cut open its stomach, the unburned red pine branches at the entrance of the cave suddenly moved.
Yue Feng had been on high alert the whole time, and immediately called out, “Be careful, Xiao Tao is back!”
Xiao Tao didn’t know what was going on. After hearing the call, he stood up from his squatting position, took two big steps towards Yue Feng, and then turned his head to check the situation.
The next second, a scene that made his hair stand on end appeared before his eyes.
The branch that was blocking the entrance of the cave was pushed out, and a large brown bear that was two times larger than the black bear on the ground crawled out of the cave.
throat!!!!
The angry and violent roar of the bear echoed in my ears at close range, like a military stun grenade thrown into a crowd of people.
Including Yue Feng, the four brothers all felt a chill running from the soles of their feet straight up to the top of their heads. A numbing feeling like an electric shock enveloped their entire bodies, making them instinctively fearful.
At this time, the benefit of bringing three hunting dogs was reflected. The three dogs, who had just witnessed their master’s victory, were not frightened by the bear’s roar. They rushed to confront the brown bear and shouted.
With the two seconds that the hunting dog had to buy, Xiao Tao turned around and stepped to the side, cleverly giving Yue Feng a shooting angle.
Yue Feng raised the gun to his face and fired five consecutive shots at the large brown bear that was standing upright, emptying the bullets immediately.
Poor big brown bear, which was not afraid of even tigers in the mountains, was frightened out of the cave by the sound of the smoke gun. In less than ten seconds, it was hit by five bullets. Its huge body fell heavily to the ground, splashing a large amount of snow mist.
“What the hell! What the hell! I’m so scared! Damn, why is there a bear in the cave? It’s a giant bear!”
Xiao Tao, who was closest to the cave entrance and was about to cut open the black bear’s stomach, felt weak all over at this moment. He sat down on the ground without caring about the blood on the ground.
Not only Xiao Tao was scared, the other three brothers were also scared. Fortunately, there were a few branches at the entrance of the cave to remind everyone, and fortunately Yue Feng, the leader of the team, kept his nerves tense.
If everyone was immersed in the excitement of successfully hunting a black bear and relaxed their nerves, then the grizzly bear would rush out of the cave. Not to mention pouncing and biting, it would only need to sit on Xiao Tao’s butt. With a weight of at least five or six hundred kilograms, it would be able to directly cause Xiao Tao to be seriously injured.
“Huh… step back first!”
The second brown bear was knocked down by five shots, but Yue Feng did not relax his vigilance. With very steady hands, he took out the bullets he carried with him from the bullet bag and directly used the clip to push ten bullets into the magazine.
He reloaded the gun and fired another shot at the head of the brown bear lying on the ground. Only after confirming that the big bear was dead did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“Alright, has Xiao Tao recovered? Let’s get ready to open his stomach!”
“Brother, let Xiaowen come, my legs are a little weak!”
Xiao Tao tried it, but still felt his legs and feet weak. The fear after surviving a disaster made him full of fear of the giant monster in front of him.
Some people may complain when seeing this. Xiao Tao was a player who was so angry that he dared to hit a sow with his bare hands. Did his legs become weak just because of this scare?
Where’s his courage? Has it withered?
As the old saying goes, there is a great terror between life and death. Xiao Tao is an absolutely emotional person. His blood is boiling and he has no way to retreat. Facing a tiger, he would probably dare to fight back.
But without any psychological preparation, he encountered a disaster and survived, and he was scared afterwards. Don’t be dissatisfied, anyone would be weak in this situation.
“Give me the sword! It’s nothing, don’t panic! I have a spell passed down from my ancestors that works very well. Close your eyes and I’ll chant it for you, and it will be healed immediately!”
Xiaowen walked up to Xiaotao, took the knife from his hand and put it aside, then placed his palms on Xiaotao’s sheepskin hat.
“Baby, baby, don’t be afraid! Touch the fur, it won’t scare you! Touch the ears, your soul will return! Touch the nose…”
It was not known whether Xiaowen had made up this paragraph on the spur of the moment or had known it for a long time. He fiddled with Xiaotao’s head with his hands and muttered for almost a minute before he finished.
“Okay, get up and try it!” Xiaowen finished reciting the ‘spell’, and Xiaotao quickly opened his eyes.
Oddly enough, it sounded like a made-up ‘spell’ like a nursery rhyme to coax children. After listening to it, Xiao Tao felt that all his strength came back.
Xiao Tao looked at Xiao Wen in disbelief: “Damn, it really works! Xiao Wen, have you ever learned to do shaman dance? I’ve been playing with you since we were little, but I didn’t expect you could do this trick!”
Xiaowen glanced at Xiaotao and handed the knife to him: “Get lost, you are the one doing the magic! Do you have enough strength now? If you have enough strength, go and cut open the blind bear!
We made a lot of money this time. We killed two blind bears in one trip. Buy one get one free! These big bears are hard to find. It’s our turn to make a fortune today!”
“Okay, stop showing off. If you delay any longer, the bear bile will be absorbed by the liver!” Xiaowu, you also lend a hand and take out the bear bile first!
“Okay!” Xiaowu responded and immediately joined in the work of cutting open the stomach.
The black bear is small in size, estimated to weigh about 300 pounds. This brown bear is at least one size larger than the black bear, estimated to weigh at least 500 pounds.
We hunted 800 kilograms of bear meat this time. Not to mention humans, the wolf cubs at home will have enough to eat until spring!
Soon, Xiao Tao, who was nimble and skillful, picked out the gallbladder of the first black bear.
“Haha, it’s time for us to get rich! Look, this is a bronze gallbladder!!!”
