Chapter 9: The Hunt
Li Cheng didn't expect that the seemingly docile Chitu would be so cunning, and he would know that he would wait for the old Peake to wait for the cowboy to relax before making a move, and after running for a few miles or so, Chitu's speed was still unabated, and it was only about a few minutes after running such a long distance.
As the distance from the ranch living area is getting farther and farther away, the terrain has also changed, and the unobstructed plain has begun to transform into a mountainous area, Li Cheng firmly hugged the horse's neck, for fear of accidentally falling down, it is conceivable that falling off the horse's back is like an unobstructed traffic accident, and the consequences are tragic.
He regretted a little that he didn't listen to the words of old Peake and Noah, of course, the matter had come to this point, no matter how annoyed it was, it would be useless, after running for a long time, Li Cheng saw a dense forest not far away on horseback, if it was under this kind of terrain, the horse's speed should have dropped, right?
When Li Cheng was thinking about waiting for the Chitu horse to slow down and then waiting for the opportunity to jump off the horse, the Chitu seemed to see through Li Cheng's intentions, stopped at high speed, and made a beautiful leap in place, Li Cheng was startled, but he was still on the horse's back.
"Hiss-" The furious Chitu couldn't stand the fact of being ridden, and in a rage, it hissed and jumped as if performing acrobatics.
"I finally know that weishenme will have the saying of 'Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses', this horse is too strong!" Li Cheng was dizzy, and when he was groggy, a huge roar made him shake up.
Chitu also quieted down, froze in place, and looked directly at the monster that appeared in front of him!
"Grizzly bear!" Li Cheng shouted in a lost voice! Chitu didn't seem to put this big guy standing up, who was about 4.5 meters tall and weighed nearly 500 kilograms, and snorted contemptuously!
"I'm grass! Chitu, you kid doesn't even pay attention to grizzly bears, you're strong, you're strong! Li Cheng was helpless, after the national scolding broke out, he knew that although the red rabbit stopped at this moment, but the dismount completely fell into the bear's mouth, it was better to be on the back of the red rabbit, at least the red rabbit running at full speed, the grizzly bear should not be able to catch up, right?
Sure enough, the grizzly bear is not friendly to enemies that invade its territory, and at its most important moment, any animal that tries to enter its range will suffer its wrath!
The grizzly bear, which radiated a silver glow and gray fur, stood up, like a god, and jumped and pounced on the red rabbit horse!
At the last moment, Chitu turned the horse's head, moved away, and dodged the grizzly bear's attack, Li Chengdu smelled the stench coming from the grizzly bear's mouth!
Although the grizzly bear's body is huge, it is not slow, extremely agile, and extremely explosive, reaching about 48 kilometers per hour, while the speed of the red rabbit horse is as high as more than 60 kilometers per hour.
As a result, the grizzly bear was unable to pursue the red rabbit horse, and his desire for hand-to-hand combat was frustrated, and after several failed attempts, the grizzly retreated into the forest, seemingly not wanting to cross the cordon.
That is, the boundary between the plains and the mountains, it seems that the grizzly bear has something to guard, and during this time period, the hibernating grizzly bear should reach the breeding period, and it is also the time when it is most vulnerable to attack humans, and beyond the range of its nest, any animal will be attacked.
And through Li Cheng's observation, this is indeed a female bear, one size smaller than the average adult male grizzly bear, and the largest grizzly bear can weigh 700 kilograms.
"Red Rabbit Horse, is it time to go back to the grizzly bear after the play? My mom called me home for dinner, please. Li Cheng begged for mercy and said, the red rabbit horse didn't seem to hear it, and continued to perform in the same place, at this time, the old Pike, who had delayed a lot of time, also hurried over, and saw that Li Cheng was safe and sound, which was relieved, but at this moment Li Cheng's situation was not ideal, and he was still in the situation of being overturned by the red rabbit horse at any time.
"Shall we go up and help?" Deku said a little worriedly, it was hard to imagine that the thin Li Cheng would hold out for so long.
The elder Pique was still observing, commanding the other cowboys, first blocking the way of the Akhal-Teke horse, and did not rush forward.
"Old Peake, there is a grizzly bear in the woods in front of me, it attacked me just now, fortunately, the red rabbits are fast and they were not hit, but you have to be careful, that bear is very aggressive, it is estimated that it is in the feeding period!" Li Cheng was on horseback like a roller coaster, but he was still clear-headed, and in order to ensure the safety of the old Pikes, he used Zuihou to inform the existence of the grizzly bear.
"Boss, you don't have to worry, we brought a shotgun, if the grizzly bear comes out, it must look good!" Byron pulled out his double-barreled shotgun on his back and took on the role of guard, the white cowboy had good marksmanship and had experience in confronting grizzly bears head-on, so he was not in a hurry.
Noah saw that Li Cheng's physical strength could not support it, and drove Edward to Old Peake's side, saying, "Without further ado, I think it's better to inject this Akhal-Teke horse with a tranquilizer, right?" ”
"No, wait." Old Pique also expects Li Cheng to be able to tame it, not to mention that it has taken so much effort, if they give up now, it is estimated that after they go back, Li Cheng will scold them.
In the case of ensuring Li Cheng's safety, Old Peake will also take action, but not now!
"Roar-" Grizzly Bear was furious, he didn't expect the hateful humans to dare to be so presumptuous in its territory, they must be good-looking!
"Bang-" Byron, who was on guard, didn't say a word, the double-barreled shotgun fired a shuttle of bullets, and Deku, George and others also took out shotguns and shot at the angry female bear, they all had gun licenses, and it was legal to hunt grizzly bears.
Before the grizzly bear could speed up, the fire blockade formed by the three of them was fixed in place by the female bear!
Everyone also ignored the grizzly bear lying in a pool of blood, and everyone was worried about Li Cheng's safety.
The red rabbit horse also seemed to be tired, running for so long, and fighting with the grizzly bear for a while, it seemed to recognize the facts, and after the contact during this time, the red rabbit horse smelled a familiar smell in Li Cheng's body, which seemed to be the emperor's breath from the far east......
Mysterious and mysterious, wonderful and wonderful......
In any case, the rampaging red rabbit horse finally stopped moving, stopped in place, and ate fresh grass, looking leisurely.
"Haha, Akhal-Tegema has succumbed! Boss, you've tamed it! Congratulations! After the old Pique got off the horse, he stroked the forehead of the Akhal-Teke horse, and from its eyes, the old Pique understood that the Akhal-Teke horse agreed with Li Cheng!
"Really? It's more tiring than playing 3 splits! ”
Li Cheng, who was completely exhausted, stumbled, and finally left the back of Akhal-Tekkin with the support of Deku and others, lifted his jeans and looked at it, Li Cheng said with a smile: "The skin on the inner thighs is grinding, this horse is strong enough!" ”
"It's okay, boss, I have an ointment developed by the witch doctor of the Newint tribe, which works wonders for this injury."
"Oh? No gold sore medicine? ”
"What's that?"
"Oh, it's Huaguo's traditional Chinese medicine, I guess it's similar to what you, a witch doctor, made."
After the experience of the long-distance running of the red rabbit horse, Li Cheng basically couldn't sit on the horse at this moment, so he asked George to ride back and drive a pickup truck to pick up Li Cheng.
"Deku, your marksmanship is so inaccurate, you have broken all the fur, the most valuable thing for a grizzly bear is fur, don't you know?" Old Picque is slightly pitiful authentic.
Li Cheng was lying on the grass and saw old Peake inspecting the grizzly bear, so he shouted: "Old Peake, in China, the most valuable thing about grizzly bears is not their fur, but bear paws!" Remember, I'm in the bear's paw! I'm going back and showing you a hand! ”
He also learned a lot of cooking skills in a Chinese restaurant in Saskatoon, although he has not cooked bear paws, but according to the gourd to draw a scoop, he has seen a lot of such movies, such as "Manchu Han Quanxi", which has the method of cooking bear paws, basically ordinary people in China can not eat bears such a high-level animal, they are all first-class protected animals, if you eat it, you will go to jail!
However, in Canada, a country where grizzly bears are infested, people still have more opportunities to kill bears in order to defend themselves, so many people want to smuggle wild animals into Canada to the country.
"Bear's paws? Can you eat something so filthy? Old Peake was skeptical, but as a Newnet, Noah was not uncomfortable with this, and said: "I have also heard rumors that Chinese people dare to eat anything, but I didn't expect to be able to eat bear's paws in person, I am looking forward to it." ”
Chinese cuisine is famous in Shijie, and it's about cooking bear's paws, an ingredient that is puzzling to white people. In their opinion, hunting bears is to protect themselves, and when their rights and interests are not violated, in general, they will not hunt grizzly bears at will, after all, the Shijie Wildlife Conservation Organization is not fun.
At most, it is to sell the fur to the black market, and you can eat something like bear paws?
If they have ever heard "Fish do what I want, bear paws do what I want; You can't have both, and you can't have both, and you can give up the fish and take the bear's paw. From Mencius's words, then we know that the history of Chinese people eating bear's paws has been at least 23,400 years!
Old Peake skillfully peeled off the broken grizzly bear's fur, then cut off four of the grizzly bear's paws, and after packing them in the sack he had brought with him, he noticed movement not far away, and at a glance, it turned out to be two grizzly bears.
It's just that these two grizzly bears are very small, probably only a few months after birth.
"No wonder this grizzly bear is so aggressive, it turns out that it is really lactating." Old Peake handed the sack to Deku and walked over, grizzly looking curiously at the strange human.
"Woo" a few times, signaling old Peake not to come!
"Old Peake, these two bear cubs seem to be twins, they're so cute!" Li Chengqiang endured his almost falling body, walked over, squatted down, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, opened the wrapper, and said, "Little Xiongxiong, I have chocolate here, it's delicious, you see." ”
Li Cheng ate a little bit as he spoke, indicating that there was no danger in this thing, and a curious little grizzly bear might have asked about the taste of chocolate, so he crawled over tentatively, and ran away with chocolate in his mouth.
Seeing that the two little grizzly bears were fighting for chocolate, Li Cheng took another piece and threw it to the other little grizzly bear, taking advantage of the stall where they were eating.
Li Cheng turned around and said, "Old Pique, you take someone to find a place to bury this grizzly bear, don't let the little grizzly bear see it." ”
Old Peake was a little puzzled and asked, "Boss, are you going to adopt them?" ”
"Isn't it allowed by Canadian law?"
"Well, you're going to go to Calgary to find a lawyer to consult at this point, but I'm a little worried, after the two grizzly bears grow up, the wildness still exists, so according to your Huaguo saying, 'raising bears for trouble'."
"It's a tiger for trouble, but you understand it well, but I believe that animals have feelings, as long as we take care of them wholeheartedly, Xiong Da and Xiong Er will feel it." Li Cheng directly named the two grizzly bear twins Xiong Da and Xiong Er.
