The Tomb of the Yellow Skin Chapter 5 Chopping the Palm and Cutting the Gall (I)
The dead thousand-year-old tree, it looks very strange, the strange is that the tree is not in harmony with the surrounding environment, although it is not the middle of winter, but the early arrival of the snowfall, so that the whole forest has become a silvery world, only this tree near the snow is not covered, and the tree hole is full of precious matsutake mushrooms and all kinds of jams, I first saw the big hole in the trunk, I thought this was a bear cave, but it was close, did not smell the smell of fish, I couldn't help but start to be suspicious.
I was just about to open my mouth to ask the swallow why there was no snow near the hole in the dead tree, but the swallow saw that I was going to speak, and hurriedly waved his hand at me: "Be quiet, this is the bear hole, although the man and bear are stupid, but they are good at nesting, unlike the nest of the ordinary blind bear, which is smelly and damp." "Because it's hot inside the bear cave, there is no snow around the old tree, and there are so many matsutake mushrooms around the dead tree hole without snow, which must be a bear den on the surface. When I saw that the swallow had identified the direction of the bear cave, I didn't dare to speak, but gestured to a nearby grass nest, and the three of them quietly sneaked over and began to prepare for the bear hunt.
Hunting human bears in the mountains is the most dangerous thing, you need to dare to face the courage and courage of the killer bears directly, the hunters usually dare not move the bears, not because they are not brave enough, but they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, hunting is completely for survival, and the fox can shoot rabbits to make a living, and why bother to do those things that are put to death and then lived, it is really not possible to stand up and take risks.
Now we are going to take the risk of hunting bears, the method has been discussed, it is according to the old method handed down by the ancestors of the hunters in the mountains, the hunters have to name the various techniques of hunting with the word "set", and the "skin wonton" of the fox and the yellow skin is called the "mixed wonton set"; Hunting bears with sticky bean buns is called "sticky". Although the snow has not disappeared, the climate in the mountains is not cold, and the large number of yellow rice noodles and sticky bean buns we carried into the mountains are tightly wrapped in warm dog skin mattresses and are not frozen, which saves some unnecessary trouble.
I took out a few sleeves made of birch and handed them to the fat man, and said to him: "Comrade Wang Kaixuan, the time has come to test you organizationally, so go on." The fat man hurriedly excused himself and said: "In fact, looking at your appearance in various historical periods, as well as your own objective conditions, you are more suitable than me to complete this arduous and glorious task. ”
Yanzi said: "Don't fight, this job can't be done by one person, the fat man has thick flesh, and the momentum is also big, suitable for bait, the beard and hands are steady, and I take the axe to find an opportunity to start at the edge ......of the tree hole, remember not to panic, and you must not be soft when you start, you have to die according to the whole thing, if the momentum is not right, we will run, and we must not run straight when fleeing."
We are far away from the bear hole in the grass nest, discussing how to do it, but just halfway through the words, I felt the red pine behind me shook violently, I quickly turned back to see, deep mountains and old forests, except for grass and trees, there is nothing else, but the tree is indeed shaking slightly, can the earthquake happen? Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the big red pine shudder again, and the needles and snow hanging on the branches fell one after another, as if there was some huge object on the tree that was about to move.
Looking up, it's amazing, it turns out that a huge long-haired man-bear is lying on top of the red pine, it lowers its head, and is also looking at us with blood-red eyes, red eyes, plus long arms, and sharp claws, all indicate its identity, this is the most terrifying "killer bear" in the man-bear, the mountain people say that the man-bear has eaten human brains, the eyes will turn red, and then don't want to eat anything, want to eat human flesh all day long, in fact, the eyes are red man-bear, It is due to the chaotic weather that it has become doubly violent and ferocious than usual.
The man-bear is slightly on the tree with both arms tightly hugging the trunk, the red pine that several people hug is weighed by the weight of the bear body and trembles for a while, the man-bear probably wants to slip down the tree directly, but the man-bear in the mountain climbs the tree and knows not to go down, it will only go up the tree and will not go down the tree, it can only let go and fall down directly, usually it climbs to the treetops, and then falls down from the tree, over and over again, this is its usual entertainment, you can also practice its brute force of a simple body, polish thick skin.
We were stunned by this situation, just now we just paid attention to the movement in the dead tree bear hole, who ever thought that although it was snowing in the mountains, but the season was out of order, the man and bear had not been in the cave day and night, and the man and bear suddenly found someone under the tree, eager to add to the human brain, in a hurry, it seemed that he had forgotten how to get down the tree, holding the treetop trunk and constantly shaking.
Although the red pine is thick, it can't stand the man-bear so tossed, shake a few times, and then break in a burst of "clicking" sound, the three of us only came back from the shock at this time, hurriedly fell into the wilderness and scattered to dodge, only to see the man-bear wrapped in the pine branches and fell heavily to the ground, the snow on the ground was stirred up a white snow mist, although the man-bear is rough skin and thick flesh, but it fell off the tree, was tied by the branches and pine branches, and also suffered from the pain, roaring, shaking the pine forest.
We were very thickly clothed, and we were very heavy in our movements, and we rolled on the spot to dodge the broken pine trees, and the equipment for the hunt of the bear was scattered all over the ground, and the man-bear was born fierce, and fell from a great height with the branches of the red pine without being hurt, and suddenly got up, and the man stood and pounced on the fat man who was closest to him.
The fat man was unprepared, the first to face the murderous bear, his usual "mind of the five continents, look at the world" fearless spirit, at this time there is no half a point left, in the snow even rolling and crawling just want to escape, in a panic, did not run a step, then fell on the snow again.
When he got up again, the man-bear had already pounced in front of him, a paw fell, and the padded jacket behind the fat man bloomed, fortunately, he remembered the bear-hunting technique in his panic, and grabbed the birch sleeve that rolled down beside him, but as soon as he turned around, he was immediately held down by the man-bear, and the man-bear immediately squinted his eyes happily after pounced on the man-bear, and the next habitual action it had to do was to lick the man's head with a tongue full of barbs, and to suck the cerebral blood of the living person.
Some hunters say that the man-bear does this, not because he is greedy for human blood and human brains, but because he thinks that how can this thing look so good? The skin is smooth and smooth, so I smile and stick out my tongue to lick it, no matter what its motive is, anyway, the living person will be allowed to return to its place if it is licked by it, I saw that the fat man was in danger, grabbed the hunting fork on the ground, and planned to rush up to save people.
At this time, the swallow also got up from the snow, and when he saw that the man and bear had wrapped the fat man, he hurriedly shouted and reminded him: "Get out of it with a birch sleeve!" The fat man was hugged by the human bear, and the bones were about to break, and the man-bear squinted and opened his mouth, and licked it with his tongue, almost being smoked half to death by the fishy breath in its mouth, but he also knew very well that he could not take care of it at the moment of life and death, and it was smelly and painful, so he hurriedly put the birch sleeve between his head and the tongue of the man-bear, and the big tongue of the man-bear licked the wooden tube at once, and a large piece of bark was immediately taken down by its tongue, and the fat man handed it over, and stuffed the entire birch sleeve into the arms of the man-bear, and took the opportunity to get out.
