In the winter of the year when Kuroto was one year old, Okui and the black bear, commonly known as the bear blind man in the Kanto region, had an encounter.

Kanto is different from the Central Plains, and it is covered with heavy snow as soon as winter comes. People can only hide inside their houses with their hands in their sleeves to avoid the freezing winter. The people of Shandong Tun and Henan Tun could not be idle, and they learned from the Kanto people to go into the mountains to hunt. Prey can eat meat, and furs can be taken to the city dozens of miles away in exchange for oil and salt. In addition to desperately cultivating the land, they naturally refused to be wasted in vain in winter, so they went into the mountains to hunt in a group of two people and three people.

Their hunting tools are relatively primitive and backward, and they can occasionally harvest them with a wooden stick or a few movable sleeves tied with wire exchanged for grain from the city, and put them in places where their prey often haunts. They learned this from the old Kanto. The old Kanto people rarely farmed, and most of them were full-time hunters, most of whom lived in the deep mountains and old forests, and they lived in wooden lattice houses rather than adobe houses. Since the arrival of the Shandong and Henan people, hunters often went out of the mountains and forests to exchange their game for food, and also went to the city to exchange oil, salt and guns. These hunters also put under the trap, but more often used muskets, therefore, the hunters were not afraid of the attack of their prey.

Shandong and Henan people are not good, their hunting tools are primitive and backward, and they always go into the mountains in twos and threes, in case of accidents, they have a good response. They also often beat pheasants and hares with wooden sticks, and the larger animals, they could do nothing but watch wild boars, wolves and other prey run in front of their eyes carelessly.

Since coming to Kanto, the Shandong and Henan people have been no strangers to these wild creatures, which often haunt the tunzi and their fields, and in the middle of the night, the wolf can be heard almost every night, sometimes close at hand. During the day, they can often see the paw prints of wolves and the hoof prints of wild boars left in front of their homes. After a long time, these Central Plains people from Guannai were not surprised.

Da Kui didn't want to go into the mountains with others, he had gone hunting with others before, although he didn't return empty-handed, but the harvest was always much less, and the wild things he hunted were divided between two or three people, and naturally no one enjoyed the benefits alone.

After having the black soil, Da Kui's hatred of not being rich became more and more vigorous. He wants Mai Hua to give birth to a son and another girl, a group of children, and people will take root in this black land thrivingly. Now that he can eat his stomach, Da Kui feels that he has inexhaustible strength in his body, he wants to give birth and raise, and at the same time make his life prosperous. In the winter of this year, Da Kui carried a wooden stick that was more than a long man, and went into the mountains to hunt ambitiously.

That morning, Da Kui carried the hot cornmeal tortillas that Maihua pasted for him, stepped on the deep and shallow snow, and creaked towards the deep mountains and old forests. Many footprints have been left in the old forest, some old and shallow by the wind, and some new. He tried to avoid the footprints of these people, and wherever people were alarmed, the prey was naturally frightened, and those who could escape had already fled, and those who did not have become prey in the hands of the people.

Da Kui went into the woods, and he found a group of pheasants in a bush of oak trees in the old forest where they were warming each other, and the cold was freezing, so that the minds of these wild creatures were often numb, and besides, there was a wind blowing, and the snow particles were whimpering in the forest, so these pheasants in the cold relaxed their vigilance against people, and most of the prey they caught succeeded in this situation. Da Kui already seemed very experienced, he bent over, tiptoed over, when very close to this piece of oak bushes, he suddenly threw the wooden stick in his hand, the frightened pheasant, the first reaction was to fly, just collided with the wooden stick flying in the air, at that time two or three pheasants were knocked unconscious, Da Kui desperately pounced up, and pressed these dizzy pheasants firmly under him. After succeeding, Da Kui buried his face in the snow, happy hehe.

Just as Da Kui was satisfied, and walked back with a few pheasants with a wooden stick, he encountered a blind bear. He had never seen a bear before, knew almost nothing about it, and when he saw this behemoth walking before his eyes, Da Kui's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He looked at the bear's lump and thought to himself, this guy sent it to the door by himself, if I put it down and drag it back, it would be enough for my family of three to eat for a winter. Without much thought, he threw the pheasant on the end of the stick to the ground, and with a wave of the stick he jumped in front of the blind bear. The black bear was stunned when he saw him, but it ignored Da Kui, buried its head and shook its bulky body and walked forward. If Da Kui had been interested, he would have picked up the pheasant on the ground and walked away, which would have prevented this tragedy. As a result, Da Kui waved a stick and smashed it on the head of the black bear, he thought that the black bear would not be smashed better than the pheasant, and if the stick went down, the black bear would be injured if he did not die. Unexpectedly, because Da Kui used too much force, the stick smashed on the bear's head and broke, and the tiger mouth of Da Kui's two hands was shocked and numb. Da Kui saw that the black bear not only did not fall as he thought. The attacked black bear raised his head, glanced at him, and then waved his forepaw and hit Da Kui to lie down on the snow, the black bear seemed to not know how to deal with Da Kui who fell to the ground for a while, and rode Da Kui under him with four legs apart. It was only then that Da Kui felt fear, and he struggled under the bear, only to find out that it was a male bear, so he grabbed the thing that the male bear's belly was hanging out of with all his might. Da Kui fought desperately, and after grabbing the pile of debris, he kicked and bitten, instinctively shouting for help. It was then that he saw the faces of two men hiding behind trees. For a moment, he remembered that these two people were from Henan Tun, and he had seen these two faces when Da Kui participated in the weapon fight before, but he still instinctively shouted for help. At this time, how he hoped that the two Henan people who were hiding behind the trees could run over and drive away the black bear riding on him, but the Henan people did not come.

The painful black bear squats down on Da Kui's lower body with its buttocks, which is the bear's instinct, and when it is angry or in danger, it squats down with its buttocks. The huge black bear, not to mention squatting hard, will not be able to stand it even if it is gently pressed on the person's body. Da Kui felt that his body had been torn apart under the weight of the bear. He screamed and fainted.

He didn't know when the bear had left, but in his coma he felt someone walking towards him, and then he heard a conversation between two Henanese.

One said: It's a Shandong stick.

The other said: Shandong people, deserve it.

One said: I'm afraid this Shandong man won't survive.

The other said, "Whatever, let's go." At this time, Da Kui was still shouting over and over again in his subconscious: Save me, save me...... He didn't know if it was because his shouting was too low or something, and he didn't even hear it, but then he raised his hand.

He also heard one of the Henan people say: This Shandong stick is not dead, he is still moving.

The other said, "Leave him alone, let's go."

Then he heard creaking footsteps in the distance.

Da Kui was lying on the snow, and he thought to himself that this time he was going to die. He thought of the wheat flowers again, and he seemed to smell the smell of the wheat field again, sweet and silky, mixed with the scent of the sun, and the black soil, which was more than a year old and could already call Daddy, and when he left the house in the morning, the black soil called him that.

Da Kui thought of this, he really didn't want to die, what a wonderful thing it was to live. There is so much land waiting for him to plant, there are so good women waiting for him to hug, he has to give birth to sons, have daughters, and then children and grandchildren will live in the black land of Kanto. At that time, the Da Kui family was really prosperous.

Da Kui fainted, and he was awake again. In the haze, he found himself on his shoulders and staggered forward.

Da Kui was saved, and it was the hunters who lived in the woods who saved him. The hunters had been following the bear for a long time, and the hunters first spotted the bear hiding in a tree hollow. In winter, the bear spends most of its time hiding in tree hollows, unless it is looking for food. Before the onset of winter, the bear has prepared enough wild fruit in the hollow of the tree, and the bear will not easily get out of the hollow unless it encounters an accident. The hunter drove the bear out, and he had to drag the bear to exhaustion during the exercise before shooting it, otherwise the hunter would not be able to hunt the bear with complete certainty. The hunter has been following the black bear for two days, and it turns out that he has encountered Dakui who does not know the depths.

The kind-hearted hunter sent Da Kui back to Shandong Tun, and the experienced hunter left a message for Mai Hua when he returned: Your man is considered a big fate, and he picked up a life today, and the bones in his lower body were broken, and he couldn't stand up anymore.

Mai Hua was so shocked that she could imagine her mood, and she fell on Da Kui's body and cried. The neighbors came and went, and they said all the words of comfort, but who could comfort the grief-stricken wheat blossoms.

Uncle Yu smoked bags of cigarettes one after another, and finally Uncle Yu said: Maihua, don't cry, it's all fate.

Third Uncle Yu sighed at the sky and said: "Girl, think about our relatives who died on the way to escape, Da Kui is lucky.

Mai Hua stopped crying when she said this sentence, she looked at Da Kui, who was lying unconscious on the kang, hugged the black soil, and said to herself in her heart: No matter how difficult the days are, you have to live for others, but for the black soil, for the sake of living.

Thinking of this, Maihua stopped crying. She stared blankly at Da Kui who was unconscious.
