Chapter 80: The Bear Hunt Project
Autumn is the time when the prey is at its fattest, and they have to desperately eat to store the energy they need for a year in the coming harsh winter, and the hunters in the old forests of the Northeast are natural trackers, and they have an unrivaled sense of smell for direction and breath. ()
The fat man took a pole of Miao Lan's used earthen gun, and it was okay to beat pheasants and hares, but it would not be so good if he really met a big one. Beishan is located on the back of the savage tun, adjacent to the west mountain, when I was a young man, Beishan was still a large piece of deciduous forest in the world, the trees were so thick that there were two people to hug each other, high and dense, down is a layer of low rattan thorns, except for some lumberjacks who will not run there, but the mountain pass of Beishan produces a kind of white mushroom, every time after the rain, the young people will always meet to pick, so the fat man and Cha Wenbin have been to the Beishan Pass as far as possible.
There was no one to go in the north mountain pass, one was not well lit, very dark, and the other was high and steep, and it was impossible to walk. There is a stream that is not wide but quite deep along the mountain pass, and there is a kind of colorful small fish in the water, which is the size of a palm, and the taste is very delicious.
Listening to those old hunters, Beishan used to be famous for Bear Mountain, and there were bears in that place. The scientific name of the man-bear is "罴", the posture and facial features are human-like, the sex is strong, and it can prey on cattle and horses and eat, so it is called "man-bear", in fact, it is a brown bear, how big is this thing? An adult male bear can weigh 1,500 catties, and when he stands up, his height is much longer than Yao Ming.
The old hunters said that now is the best time to hunt this kind of bear, the stream goes up, the small fish will go up the current to lay eggs, and the man and bear are very smart, specially pick the uphill place with a small waterfall to catch fish to eat, they also have to store the energy for the winter. So at this time, the bear is both the fattest and the most easy to encounter, the bear's calories are stored in its bear paws, and the bears lick their palms when they are hungry in the hole in winter, so the bear's paws before winter are the fattest in the day, and they are not so valuable in other seasons.
Because of its thick skin, a single hunter usually can't hunt an adult bear, so he has to use hunting dogs, which can trap the bear with their agility, and then the hunters take the opportunity to climb to a nearby tree and bombard it with shotguns at close range. Once again, the hound was mainly harassing, and the hunter did not dare to go down the tree until the man and bear bled too much and fell to the ground.
However, because hunting this thing is too dangerous, it is no less than going to Xishan to hunt tigers, so there have been two man-bears in the tunzi over the years. This West Mountain is Tiger Mountain, there are tigers in the mountain, then the North Mountain is the world of this man and bear, along the river, you can see groups of small fish struggling to jump up, you can get it ashore with your hands, the fat man skewered a string with a rope, this thing takes back the stew soup tastes quite good.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a "crackling" sound of water by the stream in the distance. Sure enough, about a hundred meters away, there were two tall man-bears and three cubs fluttering in the water, and from time to time a fish or two were thrown in their mouths.
"Damn, it's so big," the fat man muttered, "I'm only worthy of being its grandchild of this size, and I have to weigh almost two thousand pounds." ”
He was talking about a brown man-bear, with only a handful of white fur on its chest, which was the largest of the group, and from time to time raised its two palms in front of it, and slapped it into the water as if it were the size of a basin, and each time it made a splash.
Father Miao said: "It's stunning the fish in the water, this place is too open, we can't show it, it's a pity." ”
"Let the dogs go." "No, a man-bear can still be surrounded by dogs, so many dogs are also sent to death, and none of them have their tails between them."
The fat man lowered his head, and the hounds all drooped their heads and snorted in a low voice, and he slapped him with a little disdain and said: "What a fucking coward, otherwise, I will go up with the second child and put a shot to separate the two big ones from the small ones, and lead them into the forest, and you take the opportunity to shoot and fight again." ”
"Little stone," said the other old hunter, "yes, you still want to run faster than a man-bear?" ”
The fat man patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and said, "He runs faster than a dog, do you say he can outrun a man and a bear?" ”
Ye Qiu glanced at him and said, "You are the fucking dog." This was Ye Qiu's rare swearing, which also brought a hint of relief to the originally tense atmosphere. The old hunter has rules, if there is a male, he will not hunt the female, and if there is a big one, he will not hunt the small, they discussed for a while, and decided to target the male bear, and the fat man went over to put a shot, and then took it into the forest, and there was an old forest about fifty meters to the left of the open land, and the other four or five hunters were ambushed in the trees over there, and then put the dog down from the tree when the man and bear were shot.
After the plan was formulated, the fat man and Ye Qiu went along the edge of the forest together, and the hunters went to the predetermined ambush point together under the leadership of Father Miao, and Cha Wenbin naturally followed. The bear's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and this bit of wind and grass really aroused its alarm, and it stood tall for a while, and its two little ears kept turning back and forth, probably after making sure that there was no particularly big danger, and then continued to catch fish on its own.
If you want to anger a man-bear, then it is best to shoot it, first, to scare away the two little ones, and secondly, as the king of the man-bear mountain, how can you not suffer this kind of loss, and you will inevitably turn your head and chase after it. But now the embarrassment is that this kind of shotgun fat man is really not sure, the rifle was confiscated by the border guard uncle as early as Yanji Gangzi, otherwise he would have been sure to put it down alone.
Hiding behind the forest and observing the terrain, this is a river beach, scattered with some big rocks, the fat man and Ye Qiu discussed, advanced to twenty meters and shot at the man and bear and then ran. This decision can not be described as quite dangerous, the instantaneous explosive power of the man-bears is far stronger than the horses and bears they have encountered before, and the distance of twenty meters is the effective range of the earth-fired guns, and it is also the difference between life and death.
In fact, the man-bear had spotted them, but the man-bear had never had an opponent in the mountains, and no hunter had ever come to fight them over the years. It turned around and stared at the location of Ye Qiu and the fat man, glanced twice, and continued to squat down to nibble on his own fish, which made the fat man a little nervous, the two of them carefully bent their waists, one step at a time, until they reached the back of the big stone that had been selected a long time ago, the fat man put on the earthen gun and said: "Lao Tzu is going to hold the fire, wait a while, if I run slowly, you have to pull me." ”
Aiming at the fat buttocks, the fat man spat a little bit on the palm of his hand and rubbed it hard, his small eyes had narrowed into a slit at this time, his breathing was also firmly held, and his body was like a piece of wood except for the slight hair that was blown by the wind.
As soon as the trigger was pulled, the characteristic loud muffled sound of the earth gun was accompanied by a burst of white smoke, and a tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and a large number of steel balls mixed with lead bars whizzed towards the man and bear who had turned back in the distance. To be honest, this kind of earth gun does not pose any threat to the human bear at all, it wiped its ass and found some blood on its palm, and immediately squatted down, slamming its palms into the water with a roar.
At this time, the fat man patted Ye Qiu's arm and said, "Run!" ”
The two of them turned their heads and ran, and while running, they deliberately made all kinds of strange screams in their mouths, and the two people who came out in the distance, the man and bear suddenly made a strange scream, and then they raised their limbs and began to run wildly. Although the gunfire was not very lethal, it was not small, and the two cubs immediately ran to the other side of the river, and the mother bear ran after the cubs, so that only the tall male bear was left chasing them.
The fat man turned his head as he ran, and the man-bear's running speed was really not covered, and before their front feet entered the forest, the man-bear behind them was almost reaching their butts in the blink of an eye. There was a rope on the ground in front of them, which had been laid in advance, and the two of them raised their legs and stepped over, and the man-bear came one after another, only to hear a "bang" sound behind him, and the man-bear really ate the stumble and threw himself on the ground.
But when it fell to the ground, it was strong enough, and a few stones were smashed up and flying high, and the thing had thick fur, and it was fine if it fell, and by the time it shook its head and got up, the two were already at the edge of the forest.
The fat man was afraid that it wouldn't come, so he simply pulled down his pants, revealing the white ass behind him and twisting towards the man-bear. This provocative action can be said to be universal in nature, where can the man and bear stand this insult, and the mother and child are safe when they turn their heads, then the master doesn't care, he stood up and stretched his neck towards the fat man and screamed, and the two palms in front of him were against the white hair on his chest. With this cry, a large flock of pheasants suddenly flew out of the forest, which shows that everyone knows that this mountain king is afraid that he is going crazy......
