Wang Jianguo frowned and thought for two seconds, then said, “There is indeed something wrong with this matter!
Xiaofeng, you guys will have to keep watching over the bear’s body nearby tonight. The rest of you will follow me and wander around the remaining hills.

I will report to the police tomorrow morning when Uncle Hat goes to work!!”

Hearing what his father-in-law said, Yue Feng nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll keep an eye on the bear’s body here to make sure it won’t be damaged by other animals or people! When you’re on guard in the mountains at night, you have to tell your family!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to go back and deliver the letter!”

“OK!!”

……

In less than half an hour, Wang Jianguo and the other villagers who had gone up the mountain turned around and left, continuing to search the hill that they had not yet finished searching.

After everyone left, only four brothers from the Yue Feng Hunting Team were left in the huge area.

Being assigned to watch over a stinking bear carcass in the mountains late at night was not a good job.

However, since the father-in-law had spoken in front of many villagers, Yue Feng, the prospective son-in-law, had to support him.

Xiao Tao stood on the ridge and looked at the bear’s body again. He muttered unhappily, “Brother, what should we do next? Are we just going to sit on this ridge all night?”

Yue Feng looked around and shook his head and said, “We definitely can’t leave, but we don’t need to sit here all night!
So, let’s split up. Xiaowen and Xiaowu, you two go collect some firewood, and Xiaotao, you follow me to the downstream stream and cut some mugwort!

The mosquitoes in autumn bite people painfully, one bite will leave a big ulcer. If you want to spend the night in peace, you can’t do without a fire and wormwood to repel mosquitoes! “

Xiaowen nodded: “Okay, I’ll go and arrange it right away!”

Xiao Tao also took out the knife from his waist and responded: “Let’s go, I’ll follow you wherever you go! Tie the dog up and watch over it?”

“Well! Black Wolf, Big Yellow, you guys watch here and don’t let anyone get close!!”

Yue Feng gave the dog an order and tied it up in an open space about ten meters away from the bear’s body.

Soon, the four of them split up and started working.

Working in the dark in the woods with a flashlight is much slower than going up the mountain during the day.

But things like dead trees and mugwort are not rare in the mountains.

In less than half an hour, both groups brought back what they needed.

If you want to report a message, it’s more conspicuous to stand on a high place, but if you want to spend the night, this ridge is not a good place.

The mountain breeze is cool, a blend of cold and hot air. After the dew forms, it brings with it a chilly and gloomy air. Therefore, if you want to spend the night in the mountains, it is best to find a relatively sheltered place.

Yue Feng and his companions could not go far from the bear’s corpse, so they could only choose a relatively flat area on the sunny slope halfway up the mountain to make a fire and keep watch.

Soon, the fire was lit. Every once in a while, one or two mugworts were placed in the firewood. The mugworts that were not dried in the sun were not easy to light, and smoke would soon come out next to the fire.

It is said that every thing has its own nemesis. The white smoke emitted by just a few mugwort leaves can drive away the mosquitoes buzzing around the crowd nearby.

Not only that, the smell of the burning mugwort also blocked the stench of the bear carcass below to a certain extent.

At first we were a little uncomfortable, but after staying by the fire for an hour or so, we gradually got used to the smells around us and even could not smell the stench.

Before we knew it, it was already past midnight and the flashlights in the distant forests disappeared.

Needless to say, it should be Wang Jianguo who led the villagers to search the surrounding mountains and hills, and when they found nothing, they brought people back to the village.

Spending the night in the mountains during this season is not too difficult. Yue Feng arranged night shifts for his brothers. Each person kept watch for an hour or so, and it was already light at around five in the morning.

The presence of the fire and the dog drove away the small animals active in the night. During the night, the tied dog barked several times, and each time a small animal such as a yellow fox or a mountain cat was attracted by the smell and then wandered around in the distance.

If there was something to talk about, the conversation would be long; if there was nothing to talk about, the conversation would be short. The brothers held their guns, roasted their fire, and stayed on the mountain all night.

The next morning, before dawn, the noisy chirping of birds could be heard on the mountain.

This season is the most abundant and animal-active stage of the year in the forest. Many small creatures that we usually don’t pay attention to are now living freely in this forest.

The brothers spread their hunting bags on the ground and sat around the fire all night. When it got light, Yue Feng was the first to stand up.

I didn’t bring any food when I went into the mountains. I didn’t sleep well the whole night. I also walked a long way on the mountain roads in the first half of the night. My stomach was rumbling at this moment.

There were a few hoarse cries of roe deer coming from the distant stream. Yue Feng, holding his gun, moved towards the direction of the cries.

I don’t know what time Uncle Hat will come, so I need to get something to eat before he comes.

It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The silly roe deer dares to show up at this critical moment, and Yue Feng will not be polite to it.

Yue Feng walked along the ridge for at least four or five hundred meters, but he couldn’t find the roe deer. Just when he thought the silly roe deer had gone far away, four yellow-gray blocks in the ditch below the ridge attracted Yue Feng’s attention.

There was a larger male roe deer, two female roe deer without horns on their heads, and a roe deer cub that was obviously smaller than when it was born that year.

A very common group of small roe deer. After Yue Feng found the target, he quietly approached it, aimed at the target from a distance of about 100 meters, and then calmly pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang!

A series of gunshots rang out. The largest male roe deer was shot in the torso. It ran forward two steps and instantly fell to the ground.

The two female roe deer nearby didn’t know what was going on. They didn’t run away at the first moment. Instead, they came to their companions to check, which gave Yue Feng another opportunity to shoot later.

Five shots, four roe deer, not a single one escaped, all were knocked to the ground by Yue Feng.

Hearing the gunshots, Xiao Tao and his two brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu, who were dozing beside the fire, raised their heads almost at the same time.

“Gunshot, who fired!!!” Xiao Tao subconsciously looked around and found that Captain Yue Feng was no longer next to the fire.

Xiaowen rubbed his eyes and regained his composure: “Brother Feng and Gun are not here, he must have woken up first!

I heard the sound coming from the southeast ditch. Xiaowu, you stay here and Xiaotao, come with me to check and see if we found anything!”

“go!”

……

Soon, the two brothers walked towards the direction where the gunfire came from.

After a few minutes, Yue Feng was seen climbing up the ridge with a gun on his shoulder, holding a roe deer’s hind legs in each hand, one in each hand.

“Brother!! Were you the one who fired the gunshot just now? Did you kill two roe deer?” Xiao Tao’s eyes lit up and he immediately trotted over.

Yue Feng smiled and nodded, then pointed downward and said, “There are two more, one big and one small, under the ditch!

You guys go down and drag it up, it’s damn heavy, I’ll be waiting for you on the ridge!”

“Four of them! Then our trip up the mountain won’t be in vain! Wait, I’ll go down and drag them!”

Soon, Xiaowen and Xiaotao went down the hillside and climbed up the ridge dragging the other two roe deer.

At this time, Yue Feng was not idle either. He had hung the two roe deer upside down to drain their blood, and then gutted them.

We brothers simply dealt with the four roe deer at the location next to the ridge, and then dragged them back to the night watch position.

After skinning and removing the meat, and putting the meat back on the fire, the dogs ate fresh and hot roe deer viscera, while the brothers of Yue Feng’s hunting team ate authentic roasted roe deer meat.

The only seasoning in hand was salt, but no one complained. After accumulating in spring and summer, the roe deer became fatter in autumn, and when roasted by the fire, oil sizzled.

We brothers used knives and pine branches as cutlery and ate a delicious meal of roe deer meat. With food in our stomachs, we felt more comfortable.

At around seven in the morning, there was a noisy sound coming from the forest. Wang Jianguo was seen leading a few uncles in uniforms and hats, and two authentic German Blackback police dogs up the mountain.

After a short while, they arrived in front of Yue Feng.

“Uncle!! Police comrade!” Yue Feng greeted him respectfully.

Wang Jianguo glanced at the fire on the ground, then at the roe deer hanging on a nearby tree branch: “Have you guys had breakfast?”

“Well, just as the sky was getting light, a few roe deer were delivered to my doorstep. I chopped them up and roasted them!”

“Officer Liu, this is my son-in-law Yue Feng. Last night, he and a few other people were guarding the blind bear on the mountain with dogs! Xiao Feng, was there any problem last night?” Wang Jianguo gave a brief introduction and then asked.

“It’s nothing serious. The dogs are tied under the bushes ten meters away! Several of us took shifts to keep watch, and we didn’t move at night!”

After listening to the introduction, Officer Liu glanced at the fresh roe deer hanging on the tree next to him, and then looked Yue Feng up and down: “Young man, have you ever been a soldier? You have good marksmanship!!”

Yue Feng scratched his head: “Hehe, I’ve never been a soldier, so I use guns more often when I go hunting in the mountains!”

“Where is the blind bear’s body? Take us to see it!”

“Oooo!”

Soon, Yue Feng, Wang Jianguo, and Uncle Hat went down the ridge and came to the body of the blind bear.

After a whole night of continued fermentation, the stench of corruption became stronger. Even from a distance, Wang Jianguo, Officer Liu and others frowned.

People who are engaged in criminal investigations have active minds and strong observation skills. After they came to the blind bear, they began to examine him carefully.

The location where the bear was shot, the approximate time of death, suspicious traces around it, the bullet hole that pierced the bear’s head and hit the ground, and many other details were all recorded one by one under the survey of professionals.

During the investigation and recording process, Officer Liu asked Yue Feng some detailed questions from time to time. After more than an hour, a preliminary investigation record was completed.

At the end of the on-site inspection, Yue Feng made a special reminder that the bear’s gallbladder had been taken away, and another uncle in a hat personally looked through it and checked it again.

After checking all the on-site conditions, Officer Liu frowned deeply. (End of this chapter)
