Chapter 192 Master Zhao dismantles the bear
“Alright, sir, let the dog eat!”
Yue Feng called out and led the black wolf to a place farther away from the red dog. He gave all the remaining bear heart to the black wolf. After eating the remaining half of the bear heart, the black wolf was still a little hungry. Yue Feng cut a few pieces of fat full of bear oil from the bear’s abdominal cavity and fed them to the black wolf. Only then did the dog get full.
The eagle and the dog on Yue Feng’s side were full, while the five red dogs on the other side were still eating.
Uncle Zhao also used a small knife to cut the bear’s internal organs for the female dog to eat. After the female dog was full, she lay aside, and the other four dogs started to eat the remaining bear’s internal organs.
Now, the difference between red dog and ordinary hounds is once again shown from the side.
Such a large amount of bear organs would be enough for at least seven or eight ordinary hunting dogs to have a feast, but these five red dogs ate it all.
After eating, Red Dog’s stomach was even unhealthily round and it was a bit difficult for him to walk.
“Uncle, this red dog seems to particularly like eating bear’s internal organs. I didn’t see it eating so happily as the wild boar yesterday. I’m afraid it’s going to get a stomachache!”
Uncle Zhao waved his hands confidently and said, “It’s alright! When they were still half-grown cubs, in order to make them grow bigger, I killed six bears for them to eat in one winter and one spring!
Red Dog’s favorite food is high-energy meat. These internal organs have high fat content and are easy to digest. Even though your belly is round now, it will be digested in less than two hours!”
“Or, how about leaving some bear meat as food reserve for the dog at home? It’s such a big bear, and we only brought two small sleds. It would be a bit difficult to drag it all back!” Yue Feng continued to discuss.
“Alright, then we can take apart the upper half and keep some of it. The four bear paws are valuable, you can take them away. The belly and thighs are fatter, take them home and use them to cook!
This bear skin is of good quality and has no bullet holes, so don’t damage it!
Forget it, just stand by and watch, I will peel off this bear skin for you completely!”
As he spoke, Uncle Zhao took out a wide-bladed skinning knife from his other calf.
Over the next half hour, Yue Feng and his four brothers once again witnessed what it means to be an experienced hunter.
He cut at the soles of the four paws and easily removed the bear’s paws. Then the knife seemed to have eyes and easily cut across the bear’s body.
Where the blade passed, the skin was skin and the flesh was flesh. The bear skin was peeled off so cleanly.
Let’s put it this way, for the same bear skin, although young hunters like Yue Feng can peel off the skin with some difficulty, there are inevitably bumps and it is not uncommon for the tip of the knife to poke a hole in the skin if their hands slip occasionally.
When the whole leather is peeled off, the fat and other debris hanging on the back look very ordinary. If you want to tan the leather, you will have to spend a lot of effort to re-trim these oil layers several times before you can scrape them clean.
But when Uncle Zhao skinned the black bear, the skin was extremely intact, with almost no fat or meat.
Just like the butchering of an ox that I learned in school books, after the skin was peeled off, the different parts of the bear meat were all disassembled under Uncle Zhao’s superb knife skills. The bear head, neck, front chest, back dragon, back seat, etc., different parts were neatly placed together and all were cleaned up. The bear meat was still steaming. The visual impact of watching it live was simply amazing.
“Uncle, your skills in skinning and cutting meat are amazing!” Yue Feng once again expressed his heartfelt admiration.
“Practice makes perfect. Use your brain more when you work. After you do it a few times, you will slowly become proficient! Leave these pieces for me to take back and feed the dogs, and you can load the rest onto the sled and pull them down the mountain!” Uncle Zhao simply divided the gathered pieces of meat and said cheerfully.
“So, shall we go down the mountain?”
Yue Feng originally wanted to stay with the old man for a while longer, but from what the old man said, he wanted to chase them away now.
“Let’s go, come back next time you miss me. I usually hang out in the woods when I have nothing to do! It will take half a day to get down the mountain. If we hurry back now, it will be almost afternoon when we get home! If we delay for another two hours, it will be dark when we get home. It’s not safe!”
“Okay! Then we’ll go down the mountain first! We’ll come back to see you in two days!” Yue Feng nodded, agreeing with the old man’s arrangement.
“By the way, about that wild boar king, if it shows up again, I’ll keep an eye out for you! If you hear about it from other sources and want to go up the mountain to fight it, be sure to bring me with you! That boar is a little bit evil, and you have no experience, so it’s easy for something to go wrong!”
“Okay!” Yue Feng knew that this was a special reminder from Uncle Zhao because he was worried that they, the young hunters, were in danger, so he agreed without hesitation.
“Tie the meat on the sled and let’s go. Walk down the mountain along this ridge. At the end, we will reach the second ridge of Woniu Mountain. After we get out of the ridge, we will see the firewood road of the forest farm!” said Uncle Zhao, pointing to the vaguely visible ridge line in the distance.
“Okay, then we’re leaving! I’ll come to see you again in two days! By the way, do you need any supplies for your daily life here? I’ll bring more for you next time I come back!” Yue Feng was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked.
“Supplies? We don’t lack supplies at home. If you can get some bullets, please help me get some 7.62mm bullets. If you can’t get any bullets, buy some primers, fillers, and lead bullets. I can use them when I have nothing to do and reload them myself!”
Upon hearing that the old man was short of bullets, Yue Feng immediately opened his bag.
The initial goal of this trip was to kill the wild boar king, so this was the time when he brought the most ammunition, several large packages of kraft paper bullets, at least more than a hundred rounds. Yue Feng kept 25 rounds as a backup, and took out all the other packages. “So many!” Uncle Zhao was quite surprised to see Yue Feng take out so many standard-packaged bullets.
“You can use these bullets first. It’s better to use the reloaded bullets as little as possible. The reliability of that thing is not good enough! I have a good relationship with the forest ranger team at the forest farm. It’s a little easier to get some bullets. I’ll bring them to you next time you come!”
“Okay, if you can get the bullets, then I won’t be polite to you! Reloaded bullets are definitely not as useful as these, and I don’t have many left!”
Uncle Zhao took the bullets and put them all into his bag.
After the final communication, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and their brothers had already tied all the bear meat and other things onto the sled. The Yuefeng brothers and their group of four walked down the mountain along the path pointed out by Uncle Zhao.
As he walked forward, Yue Feng looked back several times and found that the old man was standing there motionless like a green pine, watching the young hunters from his old friends go down the mountain and disappear into the vast snowfield.
After they walked away, Xiao Tao, who had been feeling suffocated, said in a low voice: “Brother, we only stayed in Uncle Zhao’s cellar for one night, why do I feel reluctant to leave him?”
“The old man is alone in the mountains, and he needs someone to accompany him! To be able to figure out this red dog, how much effort must have been put in behind the scenes is definitely beyond our imagination!”
“Uncle Zhao is indeed a hunter. Whether it’s hunting a bear or skinning and meat removal, his skills are amazing. When will we be able to have such good skills?”
“Didn’t the old man say that we should use our brains more, learn more, and practice more. Practice makes perfect!”
“Just now I saw that when Uncle Zhao saw our Big Black Hawk kicking Red Dog, his eyes lit up! I guess he must be like Uncle Chen, and like Big Black Hawk very much!” Xiaowen also echoed.
Yue Feng touched the big black eagle with a full crop squatting on his arm, then took off his hat and let it fly.
The big black eagle flapped its wings and took off quickly, quickly rising to a height of a hundred meters. After reaching the required height, it spread its wings and slowly circled over the heads of the few people, moving with them.
As the old saying goes, it is easier to go up a mountain than to go down. When traveling on this ridge, it is okay if you encounter a gentle slope, but if you encounter a slightly steep area, the path is a bit unstable when dragging a sled and carrying equipment.
Yue Feng and three team members walked for nearly an hour before they reached Chaiji Road. They then walked along Chaiji Road for more than two hours before they arrived at the place where the roe deer were buried in the snow yesterday.
The blind black bear weighed four or five hundred kilograms. After its internal organs were removed and its blood was drained, it still weighed at least four hundred kilograms, leaving less than one hundred kilograms of bear meat for Uncle Zhao. So now the two sleds were carrying about three hundred kilograms of bear meat.
The two roe deer were not loaded onto the sled. Instead, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao tied the roe deer’s hind legs with hemp ropes and pulled them down directly. They were light in weight and not too much of a burden.
After walking on the mountain road for less than an hour, Yue Feng and his four companions passed by the gate of the forest farm again.
Yue Feng whistled to call down the eagle in the sky and put on his hat, then called out, “Wait here, I’m going to do something!”
After saying hello, Yue Feng took off the leg plug from his leg, and directly pulled out about two or three pounds of bear meat from the bear’s leg. He randomly cut a pine branch on the side of the road, put it on the meat and carried it.
He walked up to the guard carrying the bear meat.
“Master, it’s me!
Two things. One is that I have to go in and find Captain Guo.
The second thing is that I went hunting in the mountains and brought you a few pounds of bear meat to try. It’s not a good thing, so please don’t fight with me! ”
Yue Feng greeted politely with a smile, and waved the bear meat in his hand in front of the window.
The security guard already had an impression of Yue Feng. He was the hunter who killed the killer bear in Chaijidao. Although he was young, he was a very good hunter.
“Oh, it’s you! Xiao Yue, right? Come in, Xiao Guo is in the duty room!” The security guard took the bear meat handed over by Yue Feng and said politely.
“Thank you!” Yue Feng nodded and walked through the gate.
Yue Feng arrived at the forest ranger team’s duty room with familiarity, knocked on the door, and soon saw Guo Jianfeng.
