Chapter 21: Raccoon Town, Mountain God III
Mark chased through the forest for a while, and the bear that had been wounded by himself seemed to disappear into the jungle. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can be seen from the blood on the ground that it did not run too far, Mark Ping with a gun on the weeds that are not too high, alertly along the blood trail shed by the bear to search forward, at this time in the sky a helicopter from the Raccoon Town Police Department Stars team flew by, they saw Mark! Began to fly overhead, throwing a rope in a small clearing not far away, the SWAT team members above were sliding down the hatch, a total of 3 people coming down, and in the distance other people were coming.
He suddenly felt a smell of blood, which was getting stronger and stronger! Just after he took another 10 steps forward, oh my! He saw two mutilated bodies in the grass! Those were the two young men who had just been killed! One of them had no head! The other has only half a head left! The guns thrown aside, spraying blood all over the ground!
Oh!!
Mark turned around sharply! I saw that the giant bear just now was less than 10 meters away from me! It's blood! The eyes spewed with an angry and wild gaze! Open your mouth and bloody claws and pounce on yourself!
Mark instinctively fell to the side! It fluttered in the air! That's when the gunshots rang out! It's the Raccoon Town Police Department STARS team! Mark himself was lying on the ground at this point! Hold your head and face with your hands on the ground! Let the bullets fly overhead, breaking the tall grass and trees around you! At the same time, a puff of light smoke pecked at the giant bear's body! My God! It's not dead! Mark saw it run towards the edge of the cliff!
"Hey! You're not, are you? Brothers! Kenneth, who had come running, asked anxiously.
"Kenneth! You stay with him! A few of us are chasing! Signal now! Enrique chased after him.
"Yes! I know! O my God! This is really abusing corpses! ”
Kenneth said as he tossed a red cigarette bomb aside! Thick red smoke rose into the sky to fill the sky with the setting sun, and after a few minutes, the sound of the helicopter got closer and closer, and the other gun-wielding volunteers not far away did not dare to move forward, and some of them vomited in the face of this bloody scene!
Finally, someone stood up and approached the scene of the brutal and bloody scene, and the voice was familiar to everyone:
"Hello everyone! Here is Raccoon Town Oregon, TV! I'm Max! Now Akere Forest Park has big news for you!! The American Giant Bear exists! The legend of the Indians is true! Just now it killed two young volunteer search and rescue workers! Now you're being chased by the Raccoon Town Police Department's STARS team! It's very brutal! The scene of the victim was terrible! Also in just now the resident of our town Mark! Rise to the rescue of two young people in a dangerous moment! There he is!! Mark! Mark: Can you tell us about that! ”
Mark sat stared blankly under a large tree, the Type 63 hunting rifle leaned against the tree, and when Max put the microphone to his mouth, he stood up and ignored Max's questioning and cameras, just returned the gun to its original owner, and walked back to the direction of the camp under the gaze of everyone.
Suddenly! Gunshots are coming from the front again!
"Oh my God! Ladies and gentlemen in front of the TV! We're on our way to the front! The Stars team is battling a giant bear! We'll be back to you in a moment! Please don't walk away from the TV! Max turned around and vomited!
Enrique. Foster and Kenneth stood in front of the bear, their muzzles of smoking guns! Staring at the black bear in front of you on the edge of the mountain! Only then did they look at it closely, and suddenly they realized how huge and majestic it was! It was covered in blood and heavy gasps from human bullet wounds.
Under the light of the setting sun, it looks like a warrior who has been seriously injured in a decisive situation, but is still ready to be the last impact! One can't help but feel a sense of awe-inspiring sacredness.
The three of them were a little overwhelmed! Shoot? Or is it a stalemate? What should I do with it? Foster held the M4 and shook his sweaty hand from time to time.
"Head! What are we going to do? Save it or kill it! ”
"Nope! Don't shoot! Enrique felt that the bear's eyes were not so angry and wild, but a sense of calm.
Suddenly! The bear stood up at this moment! Arms outstretched! There was a loud roar! The voice echoed for a long time in the forest of towering hemlock trees, and with a hint of sorrow in the voice, it slowly fell down the hill with its own roar!
Enrique and the other three are all fluted! They were stunned by all this.
Two forest park helicopters circled in the sky, and from the look on the pilot's face, it looked as if they had discovered something.
Petty, Bliss, and Steven, who came from afar, also saw this scene! Petty, in particular, was silent and speechless.
At this time, countless Oregon cardinals and all kinds of birds in the forest flew out of the forest! Flying into the sky and gathering together, they hovered for a long time in the place where the giant bear died, and cried!
Several helicopters in the sky had to pull up in height in case they were hit by flying birds.
The crowd that arrived afterwards was stunned! Look at it all! It's all so bizarre! They've never seen anything like it before!

The next day, Shen Chong gently walked downstairs and pushed open the door, the bright sun shone on his eyes and face, Shen Chong took a deep breath at the sun, feeling that his body was full of vitality, Shen Chong saw that there was a newspaper on the grass of his house, and the bicycle of the newsboy in the distance was still squeaking!
"The little guy really has a sense of time! See what's breaking news today. He said and walked over lazily.
Shen Chong picked up the newspaper and opened it, and the headline read:
Death of the mountain god of Raccoon Mountain!
Yesterday afternoon, the Raccoon Town Police Department Stars and the legendary American Giant Bear encountered and two volunteer searchers were killed by it! The American Giant Bear was then shot more than 40 times while being chased by volunteers and stars! After falling into the valley and dying. Its body will be made into a taxidermy and disappeared for several days from tourist Wendi. Celtic was rescued from a small cave on the edge of a giant bear and is currently recovering. Wildlife protectors are protesting against this!
Mayor Michael. Wood and Police Chief Brian Ellens offer condolences to the families of the slain volunteers. The funerals of the two volunteers who were tragically killed will be held at 9:20 a.m. this morning at the Church of San Tomica in Raccoon Town. Non-Dieshin priests.
There is a large photograph on the side, but of course the photograph has been revised. Seeing this, why did Shen Chong always feel that human beings would bother these animals that have lived here for thousands of years? I always feel uncomfortable, and it's an inexplicable sadness and indignation!
***
A week has passed since the giant bear incident, and Shen Chong's family is still enjoying the happiness and warmth of their new home.
In half a month, his bookstore was about to open, and winter was coming, and his bookstore was not opened on Raccoon Street because the price was definitely good, but on a newly built 'Acre' street to the east.
On this day, Shen Chong drove his old Buick to the Snake River, he stopped the car and looked at the clear river water, and couldn't help but think of the past.
Shen Chong looked at the rapid surface of the Snake River, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, he put his hands in his pockets and walked while thinking about his own business, he saw a small tent and a few wooden houses not far away, and there was an off-road jeep on the side, which looked like an Indian tent. An old Indian man sat by the tent, dressed in traditional Indian attire, especially his flamboyant feathered shawl.
Shen Chong saw that although he was sitting, he should be very tall, his face was a little dark, and his face was as sharp as a knife.
The old Indian also saw him, and the two looked at each other for a moment.
Shen Chong felt a little embarrassed, so he spoke first:
"Hello, old chief."
The old Indian man smiled slightly, feeling very weird. He laughed Shen Chong!
"Sit down! Young man. Hello, how do you know I'm a chief? Old Smile said in a calm and slow tone.
"I, I'm blind!"
Shen Chong said that he wanted to sit down, but when he saw that there were no tables and chairs on the ground except for the grass?
"What? Are you afraid of getting dirty? Don't be stupid, young people, nature is our home, and the first cries and last tears of my ancestors are here. It is pure. It is the heart of humanity full of filthy hopes that defiles it. ”
"I'm sorry, Chief! I don't mean to offend. Shen Chong said and sat down cross-legged.
"Are you alone here? The scenery is really nice! Absorb the aura of nature by the mountains and rivers! Shen Chong said jokingly, wanting to adjust the atmosphere.
"No, and my children and grandchildren, we may be the last Indians of Big Bear Mountain, but you are strange young man, and you are the only young man I have seen in all these years to praise nature. A lot of young people don't care about this now. All they know is money and covering these gifts of nature with reinforced concrete. I don't know how to thank and praise. But you're a little different. You, you deserve an Indian name. ”
"Huh?!"
"The returning cardinals."
Shen Chong is happy!
The old man continued:
"I can feel deep inside, very conflicted. You love this continent that resonates with you, but you always feel like you're betraying your people. The old man spoke slowly.
Shen Chong seems to have been poked at the point! My heart was pounding! But he still pretended to be very calm and said:
"You are wrong! Chief, though I am also dark-haired and yellow-skinned. But I'm not an Indian. I am Chinese. ”
"No, although you are not an Indian, you seem to have a better experience of Indian civilization and culture than some native Indians. Can you show me your hand? Young man. The old man asked
"This? All right! "Shen Chongxin said that Indians also play fortune telling?! Let's see if I can get rich in this life! Hey! But what happened next made Shen Chong feel very surprised, and the old man put one of his hands on Shen Chong's hand, looked ahead, and said slowly.
"You are different from many people, you do not bring the greed of the white-faced people and the sorrow of the black-faced people, I can feel that your heart is very pure and innocent, your blood is as clean as a spring, and your heart is as open and tolerant as nature.
Your children will grow up healthy and strong like hemlock trees under your care and protection, and you will have an animal tuvine. Wait, what is this? Do you still have a Tuto? It's amazing! Such a strange animal? The snake-like body has fish scales, deer horns, and eagle talons! I think it's going to be brutal, but it has a special meaning. ”
"That animal is called a dragon, chief. A legendary animal in China. It is a symbol of our Chinese! I'm not alone. Shen Chong explained.
"Dragons? Is that so? It seems to be a symbol of you. ”
Shen Chong nodded.
"But chief, not every black or white person is like that, you still have a shadow. He is stronger than you, but he is even more confused than you. You're going to meet him. With that, the old man let go of his hand and closed his eyes.
"What did you just say? My what? Shadow? Shen Chong asked with some confusion.
"This is another virtue of yours, never looking at others by the color of your skin, like the sun shining on everything. Yes, you will meet. Goodbye, young man. No, the returning cardinals. I'm going to take a break. The old man stood up and walked into the tent.
After listening to this, Shen Chong thanked him repeatedly. But I am even more confused! Later, I thought, why do I believe this! Forget it, forget about returning to Indian culture! Thinking that he said goodbye to the old Indian and drove home.
In the tent, the old man sighed and said:
"Alas, the mountain god of the Great Bear Mountain is gone, and there will inevitably be ghosts and monsters sealed by the Holy Mountain in the future.
Spirit birds. He kept his promise, and the cardinal returned. It's back. ”
