Chapter 263 Concern
This guy clearly had a slightly bulging crop, with at least 50% of the meat still undigested in it. But after seeing the blind bear being killed and its internal organs being taken out, it acted very excited.

quack quack quack
Originally flying above everyone’s heads, this guy landed next to the bear’s corpse as soon as its internal organs were taken out, flapping its wings and screaming.

The meaning is very simple. Master, I want to eat this fresh black bear meat!

Strangely enough, the four dogs in the house don’t like bear’s internal organs. The only parts they can barely eat are the lungs and the heart.

However, the big black eagle is very fond of eating black bear hearts, livers, and lungs. Its subjective willingness to eat is much stronger than that of wild boar hearts, roe deer hearts, etc., which can be reflected from the tone and actions of its begging for food.

Such a big blind bear has been killed, Yue Feng certainly can’t afford to be short of this little food. If his own big black eagle is willing to eat it, then just feed it.

Yue Feng took advantage of Xiao Tao’s knife and naturally cut off the meat of the bear’s heart. He cut it into slices bit by bit and fed them carefully to the big black eagle.

The big black eagle stretched out its wings and opened its mouth, and ate voraciously until its crop was almost stretched tight and the meat was stuffed into its throat.

Yue Feng cut off the remaining heart, liver and lungs with a sharp knife and stuffed them into the bear’s stomach to take it down the mountain.

Everything is good at my uncle’s house, except that I don’t have time to release young eagles or catch sand chickens. The meat used to feed the eagles is the venison we brought. Although the eagles also eat it, they don’t like it as much as the bears.

After feeding the eagles, the dogs gave each of them two pieces of bear meat symbolically, and quickly used their hand axes and knives to cut the bear into two halves.

It was getting dark, and there was no time to skin, bone and meat the bear. All they had to do was cut the bear in two, tie it up on a sled and drag it down the mountain to go home.

As for the bear’s offal and other internal organs, Yue Feng simply hung them on a nearby tree as a tribute to the mountain god.

After dealing with the blind bear, two people pulled the black bear’s body, and the others carried their belongings and went down the mountain in a mighty procession.

By the time we walked down the mountain and reached the village entrance, it had already become completely dark.

As soon as he entered the village, Yue Feng saw a slightly hunched figure standing on the road leading to the village.

After taking a closer look, Yue Feng’s heart sank instantly, and he immediately walked up to him!

“Grandma! It’s dark now, what are you doing here? It’s so cold!”

My grandmother is over seventy years old. It’s dark and the children haven’t come down the mountain yet, so she is waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

“The meal is ready at home. I’ve been waiting for you but you didn’t come back, so I came to the village entrance to welcome you! Are the children safe in the mountains today?” Grandma asked Yue Feng with concern, holding his hand.

Grandma’s hands are thin and cold, with hard calluses formed on them from years of hard work.

This is a family member. She doesn’t ask how much you have harvested or how much money you have earned, but is concerned about whether you are safe and whether you have been hurt or not.

Yue Feng held back the tears in his eyes and said in a deep voice: “Don’t worry, everything is fine. It’s very safe in the ravine, not even a scratch is done!
On the way down the mountain, we even shot a black bear! The bear dropped a large copper gall. When we got home after dinner, we cleaned the pot and dipped the copper gall in it! “

“Aren’t you going to catch sables? How come you ran into a bear? That blind bear is so vicious, why did you provoke it?”

When grandma heard that Yue Feng had encountered a black bear, she clenched her hands tightly and her tone became more nervous!
“The sable caught four alive, and they are all in the bag!

This blind bear is not the first time I have killed it. There are five or six undried bear gallbladders hanging on the beams of my house! We have many people and many guns. This bear hiding in the warehouse is not dangerous. I can smash its head with one shot!”

“My eldest nephew is really amazing! Come home quickly, your hands are frozen, come home and let your grandma warm them up for you!”

“Okay! Let’s go home!”

……

A little old lady was leading Yue Feng in front. The people behind them could feel the care and concern of their relatives at home from the brief conversation, and no one said a word.

When we entered the alley, we saw a lantern hanging in the yard, which made the whole yard much brighter.

Hearing that the hunting team had returned, my uncle, aunt, and grandfather all came out to greet them.

After seeing the huge black bear tied to the sled, there was a new round of exclamations.

“Nephew, you guys went into the mountains today and killed some big animals again! This big blind black bear must weigh several hundred pounds!”

When my aunt saw the blind bear on the sled, her hands began to shake with joy. If such a big bear was skinned and meated, how much oil could be obtained? It would take more than spring to finish eating it all.

“Hey! That’s half a sled, and there’s also half a back seat tied to the sled over here!
This blind bear is unlucky. Xiao Tao fell down this morning and found it hanging in a frost hole on a big tree. We will take care of it on the way down the mountain!” Yue Feng responded with a smile, completely understating it.

“This bear skin is worth some money. If you cut it in half, even if you peel it off intact, it won’t be able to sell for a good price!” said my uncle, staring at the bear carcass that was cut in half.

“Hehe, bear skin is not valuable. The valuable thing is here! This big bear has a copper gall. Let’s boil some water after dinner and dip it in it!!” Yue Feng took out the bag of bear gall from his arms as if he was presenting a treasure.

“Okay! You guys follow your uncle into the mountains and you can really get some good stuff! Your aunt from the front is here, give her some bear meat!”

“Ah!” What the second uncle said was right. There were indeed fewer people returning to the village after dark. Except for the aunt from the former neighbor’s house who heard the noise, came out to take a look and shared a piece of bear meat, no other villager entered the Meng family’s house.

After a day of hard work in the mountains, the blind bear was in no hurry to clean up after returning home. He simply dragged the animals into the warehouse and left them there, waiting for the next morning when they thawed before carrying out further processing.

The dinner in the pot had been prepared long ago. Since the people who went up the mountain had not returned, the food was reheated again and again.

But the result was good. The hunting team went up the mountain for a whole day and returned with a full load.

The hunting team unloaded their equipment, warmed themselves against the fire wall, and soon started eating.

The steaming hot food was served on the table, and the whole family gathered around the table to eat happily.

Experiencing the warmth at this moment, Yue Feng felt that all the hardship and fatigue of climbing the mountain was worth it!

Hunting the wild boars meant that the family no longer lacked meat, and the variety of dinner dishes increased.

Various dried mushrooms picked from the mountains, dried wild vegetables, potatoes, onions, cabbage that can be stored for a long time, sauerkraut pickled in your own jar, etc. Any ingredients mixed with pork and stewed in a pot are all good dishes to go with rice.

After drinking two taels of wine, everyone felt completely warmed up. They finished their dinner chatting and laughing, and then my aunt also washed out the big cooking pot early.

Yue Feng had dipped the bear bile in boiling water more than once at home. In Yue Feng’s hands, the necessary processing steps for this big copper gall were quickly completed.

Tie it with a cotton thread, then hang it on the beam and let it dry in the shade for a while.

After dealing with the bear bile, the last important thing must be completed as soon as possible.

There are four lively sables in the hunting bag.

Female minks must be kept, but there is no point in keeping male minks, and they must be slaughtered as soon as they are brought home.

After all, this thing is wild and difficult to tame. If it is raised and handled by humans, it will not be easy and the quality of its fur will be damaged. It is better to kill it and prepare the skin as soon as possible.

Yue Feng was the one who personally performed the job of slaughtering and skinning the mink.

The two oil lamps and the lantern in the house were all placed in a room. Then Yue Feng put on gloves and took out the big male mink that he had brought back in the bag.

From his debut till now, Yue Feng has killed countless wild beasts, and his heart has long been as cold as a knife.

The broad and powerful hands grasped the big male mink’s neck, and slightly exerted force to compress the air in its lungs. After a few seconds, the male mink began to suffocate.

While the prey was still warm, Yue Feng followed the standard sable skinning process and quickly peeled off a complete sable skin.

Yue Feng processed two male sables in a row into perfect-grade leather tubes. After they were dried, they could be taken to purchasing points to exchange for money.

After dealing with the male mink, the two female minks also need to be dealt with.

Compared with the violent operation of killing minks for their skins, Yue Feng treated these two female minks much more carefully.

This is the first batch of seed sources from Yuefeng Mink Farm, so you can see how important it is.

When Yue Feng and his team arrived, they had prepared a temporary cage to hold the female mink. The configuration of the cage was almost the same as that of the female mink in Yue Feng’s home, with light blocking, heat preservation, water supply, and food supply. It only needed a short period of adaptation to stabilize the stress after being captured.

Along the way, the two captured female minks were stuffed into special bags, so after entering the cage, they behaved quite relaxed. After a brief exploration, they quickly hid in their respective nests.

There is limited space in my grandma’s house, but the good thing is that the space under the kang is not needed to raise puppies, so Yue Feng put both cages in the house to keep the minks warm and to maximize their health, so that he doesn’t have to catch them with great difficulty, but then fail to take good care of them and let them get cold, which would be a big loss.

After finishing these trivial things, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening.

It was very tiring and exhausting after a day of climbing the mountain, but Yue Feng knew that he couldn’t rest tomorrow.

He came to grandma’s house with a mission. Now that he has found an efficient way to catch sables, what he should do as the captain is to complete the plan as soon as possible and then take the team members back early.

When we go into the mountains during the day, our grandparents at home will be worried. Several team members have traveled hundreds of miles to follow us to a completely unfamiliar place. Their families must be waiting for the children to return. The longer they stay outside, the more worried their relatives at home will be.

The hot water in the big pot was heated up, and Yue Feng took the rubber foot basin and filled it with water for washing feet. After the brothers washed their feet one by one, they quickly went to the kang and fell asleep early.

Tonight, for some reason, Yue Feng’s sleep quality was not very good and he spent almost half the night dreaming.

In his dream, he dreamed that the blind bear he had killed during the day came back to life, like a headless knight, chasing them on the mountain all day long, until finally it was hit by the broom of the grandmother who was sweeping the floor, and then it fell down like a mountain of meat.
