Chapter 21: The Arctic Journey (Bears and Honeycombs)
(New book, ask for collection and push)
The brown bear was a little stunned by this "blow to the head", and shook its chubby head, and the two bears stared at the monster not far away, their paws digging in the water, and their mouths let out a low roar.
The bear is a fierce animal, which usually looks tame and silly, clumsy and sluggish, but once the bear is provoked and goes berserk, even the tiger in the mountains has to take a detour.
This bear is now in a state of enragment!
Needless to say, bears have a lot of attack power, and even people often think that bears that look chubby must not be fast and slow.
This is actually a misconception, the running speed of bears is definitely not slow!
The brown bear attacked, slapped the river with its right paw, and rushed towards Cheng Fan under the high splash.
The river beach is very shallow, the current is almost unhindered by the speed of the bear, and it is not far from Cheng Fan, just a few seconds in front of Cheng Fan.
The vicious wind was blowing, and the brown bear showed its fangs in its mouth, and it stood upright and rushed towards it, like a thick bear wall.
Cheng Fan's first thought was not how to react and dodge, but how long has this guy not brushed his teeth?
As soon as the bear's mouth opened, a foul smell rushed to it.
Cheng Fan's eyes rolled, and his eyes looked at the brown bear's fur with some ill intentions, and when the bear was about to pounce on him, the sharp claw blade of his right claw popped out, and merged into one place, like a sharp long sword running out, and his body collided with the brown bear.
"Bang"
Cheng Fan was knocked back a few meters and fell into the water.
"Roar, roar"
The brown bear let out a hoarse roar, and a large bloody hole was bubbling with hot bear blood at the foot of the fat bear's head and neck.
The bear stood upright, trying to cover the bloody hole that had lost its life with its two fat bear paws, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't stop it, and it couldn't save the loss of its own life.
"Bang, bang"
The brown bear man's upright body fell, making a splash in the river, its eyes gradually losing focus, and the bear's blood flowing from the cut on its neck soaked in the water, staining a large area of the river red.
This brown bear is not very big, about six or seven meters, and it should have left the mother bear to survive alone in the last year or two.
Cheng Fan dragged the bear carcass ashore from the river and began to process the bear, carefully cutting off the bear skin with his paws.
Before he killed the brown bear with one blow, he suddenly thought that he could get a bear skin and make a beast in a bear skin.
Relying on the sharpness of his claws and his strength, Cheng Fan did not take much effort to peel off the entire bear skin with the severed head, and then cut the bear meat, cleaned the bear skin and bear meat in the flowing river water, and used a few wooden sticks to build a simple wooden frame, tied the bear skin to the wooden frame with a straw rope and opened it, and put it to dry in the sun.
If the fur that has just been peeled from the animal is dried without opening the shelf, the fur will lose water and shrink, resulting in uneven proportions and a small area.
This is some of the little knowledge that Cheng Fan learned in his previous life watching Ed Stafford on Ed Stafford's wilderness survival show.
Drying the sliced bear meat on the rocks by the river, Cheng Fan looked at the four brown bear paws that were placed on the same rock, turned around and ran into the forest, he remembered that he had seen bees in the nearby woods when he came.
Running into the woods, the sun was already past noon, and the sun was high in the sky.
The temperature is still not high, and you can still feel a chill despite the presence of the sun.
The forest is lit up by the sun, and wisps of light fall through the gaps between the treetops and leaves, shining on the ground, making the mountains and forests look extremely clean and clear.
The empty mountain is quiet and the birds are singing, the "buzzing" wing vibration is set off by this quiet woods is set off bigger, under a tree, Cheng Fan looked up and saw that there was a big honeycomb hanging on a large branch seven or eight meters high from the ground.
There are many bees in and out of the dense bee holes, to be precise, this is a hornet's nest, each one is larger than the average bee, and it comes and goes in swarms.
Cheng Fan bowed his tail under the tree and looked up, and he didn't know how these guys survived in the long winter? Will they hibernate or not?
In this regard, Cheng Fan had to sigh at the miracle of life and the divine show of natural creation.
The tree is a birch tree, which belongs to the cold-tolerant tree, the tree is very tall, the bark is white, flammable, and it is a good ignition material in the wild.
Looking at the hive so high above the ground, and looking at the thickness of the tree, it is not advisable to climb the tree and cut it directly.
Cheng Fan looked around, found a larch that grew more than ten meters high, the trunk is not thick, it took a lot of brute effort to cut this small pine and knock it down, and did not remove the excess branches, Cheng Fan carried it to the bottom of the beehive, he was ready to use the tree to poke down the hive.
Although the economy was not developed at that time, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the environment was very good, and rabbits, pheasants and bamboo chickens could often be seen on the mountains, and wild orchids and plants and various fungi also grew in the forest.
Whenever it is busy in spring or summer, after a rain, there are pine mushrooms, egg mushrooms (local names), duck egg mushrooms, umbrella mushrooms and other mountain forests in the mountains and forests are ripe, and they will follow a group of friends to go down to the river to fish, go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and catch bamboo cattle.
Of course, at that time, they had no sugar to eat, and they were extremely eager for sweet honey, and after discovering a honeycomb, everyone did not miss the task of poking the honeycomb together.
At first, he didn't know how to skill, he was chased and stung by bees, and his hands and feet were swollen into fat people, and he licked a spoonful of honey and smiled from ear to ear.
Looking back on those times, I was poor, but I was happy, and those years were finally turned into beautiful childhood memories in my consciousness, and I never returned with the wind!
Cheng Fan grabbed the pine tree that was about ten meters long, and used the branches and leaves at the top of the pine tree to poke it up, and immediately the beehive swayed, wanting to fall but not falling.
If it doesn't work once, then try again.
Cheng Fan's stab provoked the army in the hive to dispatch, and from the bee holes of the nests, one by one the guard worker bees were drilled, "buzzing" and flapping their wings, forming a black cloud looking for the intruder, and would defend the hive and punish the offender at the cost of his life.
Cheng Fan didn't dodge either, and the bees caught a glimpse of the guy under the tree who was stabbing happily with a long stick.
That's right, it's him, brothers, follow me!
"Buzz"
"Buzz"
Small black clouds rushed towards Cheng Fan, crawling all over him, from his legs to his tail, from his abdomen to his upper limbs, and then to his head and eyes, a scene of dense phobia was frightening, and many hornets crawled on Cheng Fan's body, covering him up, revealing the stinging needles one by one, piercing Cheng Fan's flesh and flesh, and injecting bee venom inward.
But this is useless, after the hornet stabbed itself, it fell from Cheng Fan's body one by one, as if he had just carried out some indescribable activity, exhausted, and his body was hollowed out.
In fact, they are indeed hollowed out, and when they sting, the stinging needles are pulled out along with the intestines and left in the skin of the enemy, so they die quickly.
