Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 118 Killing Cangzi
The yellow muntjacs had woken up by then, and Shitou and Bingzi placed the two yellow muntjacs on the snow.

Although the yellow muntjac had woken up, it was unable to stand up, probably because it had been lying on the snow for a long time and its blood circulation was disrupted.

After waiting for a long time, the two yellow muntjacs staggered to their feet.

Then Shitou was responsible for leading the two yellow muntjacs, one big and one small.

The two yellow muntjacs struggled for a while, but under the brute force of the stone and the watchful eyes of the six dogs around them,
Instead, it became well-behaved and stopped running and struggling. When Shi Tou pulled the rope, it followed obediently.

Then the four of them planned to go to the last point, pick up the items and go home.

"and many more!"

Chen Weidong suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Shengli who was walking forward.

"Weidong, what's wrong?"

Li Shengli was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Chen Weidong and asked.

"Look over there!"

Chen Weidong pointed to a large poplar tree in the distance that was as thick as three people could hug, and said to Li Shengli.

Following Chen Weidong's finger, I saw a big poplar tree about 70 or 80 meters away. It was as thick as three people could hug. There was a big tree hole about 1.5 meters above the ground, and white frost hung around the hole.

"This... this is Kumagurako!"

Li Shengli exclaimed in surprise.

"Correct!"

Chen Weidong was also very excited at this time.

This is Tiancang, and the white frost on the hole means that there must be a bear hibernating in the tree hole. Because the white frost is the hot air exhaled by the bear, which comes out of the tree hole and freezes when it meets the cold.

Of course, the most important thing is that the hibernating blind bear is relatively easy to deal with, because Chen Weidong has enough time to make arrangements, not to mention that there are four people on their side, all with guns, and six adult hunting dogs.

Not to mention encountering a hibernating blind bear, even if you encounter a non-hibernating blind bear, you can still fight it if you meet it.

"Weidong, you are so lucky! You have good eyesight too, you can see from such a distance."

Li Shengli obviously understood this truth and smiled brightly.

A blind bear, not to mention its meat and fur, its gallbladder and bear skull alone are worth hundreds of dollars.

Chen Weidong smiled. He suddenly saw the big poplar tree and thought of the bear warehouse he had found in front of the valley before. He took a closer look and didn’t expect it to be the one!

As for why the six dogs didn't notice it, it was because of the distance. Blind bears usually hibernate before the snow falls, and their scent has dissipated long ago. If you don't get close to the bear's warehouse, you will definitely not be able to smell the scent.

"Weidong, how do we kill him?" Li Shengli asked straightforwardly.

"Brother Weidong?"

Shitou and Bingzi looked at him with some worry yet eagerness to try.

Since so many of them discovered Xiong Cangzi, they naturally had to kill him!
But there are also some rules on how to kill.

When facing wild animals like blind bears, you may be in danger if you are not careful.

Chen Weidong thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Shitou, find a stick and sneak behind the tree. Remember to sneak behind it and knock on the tree to lure the blind bear out."

"When the blind bear starts to crawl out, run away. Don't even think about turning back and shooting immediately!"

Chen Weidong first told Shitou that this boy was as strong as an ox and could run fast, so he was suitable for this kind of job.

Chen Weidong did not plan to release the dogs to lure out the blind bear. Although dogs could do this kind of work, it would inevitably lead to a battle between the bear and the dog. It would be difficult for them to shoot and it would be easy to hurt the dog, which would make them more passive.

This kind of old-fashioned behavior is still suitable for humans.

Chen Weidong planned to use this group of dogs at a critical moment. It would be best if they were not needed. It would undoubtedly be the easiest way if he could kill the blind bear with one shot.

"Okay, Brother Weidong, I'll get ready right away."

Shitou agreed, tied the two yellow muntjacs to the tree, then drew out his knife and turned around to chop branches.

"Brother Weidong, what should I do?"

Bingzi asked hurriedly.

"You hold these six dogs until I tell you to release them."

"Brother Shengli, we've blocked the cave entrance with guns. After Shitou drives the blind bear out, you fire the first shot at the bear's shoulder. After it comes out of the cave, find a chance to shoot it in the head. If you haven't killed the bear after it gets down to the ground, don't hesitate, run over there, and I'll shoot you from behind."

Chen Weidong explained in detail to the two of them,

The reason why he didn't shoot at the head was because the bear had just poked its head out and he couldn't shoot at the head yet.

A shot to the head will kill him. With this blow, the blind bear will fall into the hole of the tree.

It was so cold and they didn't have the tools to cut down the trees. Even if they had the tools, it would be too late.

Once the blind bear dies, the bile must be removed immediately, otherwise the bile will be absorbed by the liver.

It fell into the tree hole, and when they cut down the tree and took out the bear, the liver had enough time to absorb all the bile.

This is also why Chen Weidong asked Shitou to lure the blind bear out.

Although Chen Weidong had never killed a blind bear himself in his previous life, he had heard many old hunters bragging about how to kill blind bears. So he thought about it in his mind and, considering the actual situation, felt that this was the most appropriate way to kill it.

After everything was explained, Shitou found a sharpened wooden stick and Chen Weidong led a few people towards the big poplar tree.

When they were about 20 meters away, Black Tiger and White Tiger became a little restless and started barking in the direction of the tree hole. The other four dogs also started barking. Chen Weidong calmed the dogs down and then specifically instructed Shitou because Shitou was undoubtedly the most dangerous of the few people.

Shitou nodded, took the wooden stick, carefully touched the tree hole, and began to knock on the tree.

"Oh!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The stones kept hitting, and the tree trunk made a banging sound.

The blind bear inside was sleeping soundly. Although the sound of knocking on the tree outside was very noisy and made it irritated, the blind bear ignored it.

When bears hibernate, they enter a deep sleep, and their sleep becomes deeper and deeper as time goes by.

Another thing is that when blind bears hibernate, they generally don't want to move.

That means I can sleep a little longer, just a little longer.

Therefore, some hunters will choose to shoot the bears while they are hibernating.
But then the bear bile will be worthless, and there are also great risks in doing so.
The hibernation of a blind bear does not mean that it is unwilling to move, but that it cannot move. It is best to kill it with one shot. If you cannot kill it with one shot, then you are doomed. After all, if you want to shoot a blind bear in a bear barn,
It will definitely come to the cave entrance. The bear is very fast, and at this distance, there is no time to fire a second shot, so few hunters would do this.

Of course, there are also hunters who, when killing bears, will directly saw down the tree, and then shoot the bear to death through the tree trunk.

……

The bear kept knocking on the stone for about twenty minutes. The bear was so annoyed that he slowly climbed out of the tree hole.

Chen Weidong was already climbing up a tree at this moment, and he could see the situation inside the big poplar tree clearly.

So he quickly called out to Shitou:

"Run!"

Shi Tou was the closest and could feel it the most. When he heard Chen Weidong's voice again, he quickly dropped the stick and ran back.

Only for a moment.

The blind bear climbed out of the tree hole and climbed down the tree headfirst.

This is the best time to attack.

"Howl!"

The blind bear's huge head popped out of the tree hole, and it roared angrily before continuing to climb out.

The scarlet eyes exuded a cold light, which was very scary.

Even the old hunter Li Shengli shuddered after meeting the blind bear's eyes.

Li Shengli held the gun tightly in his hand and took aim.

"boom!"

A flower of blood spattered, and the shot hit Blind Xiong on the shoulder.

"Howl!"

Blind Bear let out another shocking roar and accelerated his crawling out.

As the blind bear roared, he climbed out faster. In a blink of an eye, most of his body had crawled out, leaving only his lower limbs.

"boom!"

Chen Weidong had already slid down from the tree by now, and he saw the opportunity and fired decisively.

Unfortunately, Chen Weidong was nervous as it was his first time hunting a blind bear himself, and his shot missed, hitting the blind bear's shoulder.

Facing a blind bear in real life is fundamentally different from what is seen in later videos and in zoos. That's why some veteran hunters dare not hunt blind bears. They are too fast and too fierce.

Fortunately, Chen Weidong had a strong psychological quality in his two lives, and he used a Hanyang rifle with a magazine.
For example, Li Shengli was still loading bullets at the moment. If he was alone, the blind bear would have pounced on him by the time he finished loading the bullets.

After the first shot missed, Chen Weidong remained very calm.
Because Shi Tou had also distanced himself at this time, and seeing the blind bear rushing towards Chen Weidong, he stopped, aimed at the blind bear and fired.

The stone ones are earth guns, which can kill a large area with one shot. Although the power is not great, the damage range is large.

One bullet hit the blind bear directly on its butt. The bear screamed and its butt was broken into pieces.

The blind bear gave up rushing towards Chen Weidong and instead headed towards the stone.

This is the advantage of having more people, and this is also why Chen Weidong was so calm, because the blind bear turned around.

Otherwise, if the blind bear was closer, Chen Weidong would have to release the dog to hold the blind bear back.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Eject the bullet and wade forward!

Chen Weidong fired two more shots in succession, and Li Shengli also loaded the bullet and fired a shot.

Two shots hit the bear's buttocks, but one shot successfully hit the bear's head.

The blind bear fell to the ground, motionless.

Chen Weidong then ordered the soldiers to release the dogs! An inexperienced person would definitely go straight over when he saw the blind bear lying on the ground, but Chen Weidong would not joke with his own life.

You have to know that blind bears have thick skin and strong vitality. Even if you hit them on the head, you must be careful of the blind bear's counterattack before it dies!
The six dogs, already unable to bear the hunger and thirst, ran over and bit the blind bear. Chen Weidong immediately called a few people over. After the blind bear died, the first thing to do was to take out the bear's gallbladder.
