Chapter 124 Turning Point
"What's going on, Xiaofeng? Have you found him?" Meng Yulan asked.
Yue Feng nodded: "We found him. Zhao Yuanjie was bitten to death by a bear. We carried him back and placed him in a state of rest outside the entrance of the village. Zhao Junhe was still breathing faintly when we arrived. My old man My uncle took someone to the Hongxing Forest Farm on a stretcher, and they took the car to the Chaiji Road to take the injured to the hospital.
The scene was so tragic, there were blood and stings everywhere! The little flower dog was directly eaten by the blind bear, leaving only half of the head and a section of the spine!”
“It’s enough if someone finds it, the blind bear is so easy to kill. Don't touch those brows! Come inside and get warm!" After hearing this, Yue Lei nodded and took his son into the house.
After entering the house, Yue Feng warmed himself by the fire wall for a while and gradually warmed up.
He was hesitating about how he could convince his parents to chase the bear on the ice tomorrow.
Including Zhu Xiaolong, this bear has injured three people. Currently, one is dead and two are injured. It is definitely an extremely dangerous character.
But when looking for the person, Yue Feng also observed some subtle traces. In addition to the blood stains of Zhao Junhe and Zhao Yuanjie, there were also many traces of injuries left by Blind Bear on the ground.
The difference between bear blood and human blood can be seen in the eyes of experienced hunters. Through the blood stains on the ground and various traces on the first battlefield, Yue Feng roughly made up his mind at that time. Condition.
This bear, including the one shot by Zhu Xiaolong, should have been shot at least three times. Even if all the vital points were avoided, the bear was actually in very bad condition.
The vitality of creatures like bears is indeed very tenacious, but it is also a mortal body, with three more holes in its body, and there is no stable food source in the ice and snow. The subsequent inflammation alone can easily kill it. .
Yue Feng can say with certainty that if there were no other strange circumstances for this bear that had been shot three times, 90% of the time it would not survive this winter.
In this case, the real risk of chasing the bear is not as great as the risk seen by ordinary people.
Perhaps by the time we go up the mountain to find this bear, it might already be at the end of its life.
It is true that the density of mountain livestock is quite high in the depths of the Changbai Mountains, but bears are large beasts. No matter how dense they are, they are not the hordes of sand chickens that can be seen at the doorstep. Generally speaking, for ordinary hunters, , it’s still hard to find, let alone find.
Now that he had ready prey information and knew that the prey was seriously injured, Yue Feng definitely didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.
Yue Feng was thinking about how to convince his parents to go up the mountain to find Xiong Xiazi tomorrow, but before he could say anything, Yue Lei came to Yue Feng on crutches with the milk hawk on his back.
"Dad..." Yue Feng saw his father approaching and shouted in a deep voice.
“I know what you are thinking. This is an opportunity. Not only can you avenge the villagers, but if you do it well, you can also get a piece of bear bile back!
But I tell you, you are not allowed to go, we cannot accept the risk!
Your Uncle Li is still injured and can't go into the mountains. You don't have much experience in the mountains just now. If something unexpected happens, our family won't be able to bear it! "Yue Lei said very seriously.
"From the information I learned when I went to the scene, this blind bear was shot at least three times! When Zhao Yuanjie was holding a knife and planning to disembowel a bear, he was attacked by a bear that was pretending to be dead. "
Yue Feng did not answer directly, but told his father his analysis.
"You can't go there either! Our family's life has gradually improved, and this bear is not missing! "Yue Lei emphasized again.
"Hey, okay! Then I'll listen to you!"
Yue Feng sighed, the world is not as big as I am.
As two people, Yue Feng cherishes the father-son relationship with his father very much. Even if the bile of this bear is valuable, his father will not let him go, so Yue Feng can only turn off the fire.
However, there is always a way. When the Yue Feng family had initially reached a consensus not to provoke the injured blind bear, a man who even Yue Lei had to be respectful to when he saw him pushed away the Yue family. 's door.
"Is Yue Lei at home?"
"Here, there, the door is open! Xiaofeng, go and greet Uncle Zhao!" Yue Lei, who heard the greeting at the entrance of the courtyard, immediately called his son to greet him.
Yue Feng responded, opened the door and walked into the yard, welcoming Uncle Zhao in.
Uncle Zhao, who is nearly sixty years old, is in great health, although he looks in shape. He was thin, but his waist was straight. At this moment, Uncle Zhao could not hide the sadness on his face, which could be seen by Yue Feng who met him at a glance.
"Uncle Zhao, please come in and warm yourself up!" Yue Feng greeted.
"Hey, good! Good boy!" Uncle Zhao glanced at Yue Feng with a kind face, and the two of them entered the house!
As soon as Uncle Zhao entered the house, Yue Feng was still turning to close the door when he heard a pop and Uncle Zhao knelt down in the living room.
"Old Zhao, what are you doing, get up!" Yue Lei knelt down as soon as he saw his big brother entering the room. He immediately put the eagle on the edge of the kang and came to help him.
Yue Feng, with quick hands and feet, stepped forward and helped Uncle Zhao up.
"I know that the black blind man walking on the ice is dangerous. Logically speaking, Xiaofeng has just gone up the mountain and shouldn't come to beg you, but I still come here shamelessly!
Yuanjie is my childhood friend It looks like he has grown up and is dying in vain on the mountain. If he doesn’t kill this blind man, Yuan Jie won’t be able to close his eyes until he dies!”
Uncle Zhao was helped up, and the adult mask on his face faded away. At this moment, he was just an old man who was grieving for the death of his nephew.
"Our two families have always been on good terms, and have been close since my father's generation. We don't say these foreign words as a family. You should get up first! We can discuss things slowly!!" Yue Lei and Yue Feng General Zhao The uncle helped him to sit on the chair.
"Uncle Zhao, stop talking! I'm going! Tomorrow I will call the master, gather the dog, and go up the mountain!" The reason that Yue Feng had been suppressing in his heart was completely broken by Uncle Zhao's kneeling.
As long as Yue Feng can remember, Uncle Zhao has been very close to the Yue family. Uncle Zhao is very popular in the village. There are orphans, widowed mothers, widowers, and so on. Uncle Zhao calmly helps, just like For example, Xiaowen and Xiaowu's family received a lot of help from Uncle Zhao, and all the big and small families in the village obeyed him.
If he had wanted to be secretary, the much junior Wang Jianguo would not have been able to get the job.
Now Uncle Zhao came to the door in person and knelt down as soon as he entered. If he refused, he would not be able to explain it.
"Hey! If it were someone else who came here, they would borrow the sky gun and take it away with the dog, but you came and opened your mouth. I can't refute your face, so I asked Xiaofeng to take someone there! It has happened, please forgive me!"
Seeing that his son had expressed his stance, Yue Lei couldn't say anything else, so he sighed and agreed.
“I’ve known Xiaofeng’s kindness since I was a child! I won’t say any more, the old man and his whole family will remember you well!
I also went to the Zhou family and the Zhang family, Going up the mountain tomorrow morning! Xiaofeng, are you going to go into the mountain alone or with the Zhang family's hunting team?" Uncle Zhao relaxed when he saw Yue Lei and continued to ask about Yue Feng's arrangements for tomorrow.
Yue Feng said: "I can just recruit people myself. Xiao Tao, Zhang Jia Xiao, Wen Xiaowu and brothers are with me. They are all my own people who are in harmony with each other. In addition, I have this gift given to me by Chen Pao, the old man from Fang'an Village." Three dogs can't make a difference if they meet a bear!"
"That's good! Then I'll leave first. I'll prepare a celebration banquet at home and wait for your triumphant return!" After that, Uncle Zhao got up and left. "It won't take long. I just got here. Let's get warm before leaving!" Meng Yulan also said to stay.
“No, such a big thing has happened to the old Zhao family, I can’t sit still!! Don’t make any excuses, I’ll leave first!”
"Xiao Feng, go see your uncle off!"
"Hey!" Yue Feng responded and sent Uncle Zhao to the alley outside the courtyard gate before turning back.
When Yue Feng returned home, both Yue Lei and Meng Yulan looked a little ugly.
The front foot had just given his son a death order not to provoke the scary blind bear, but then Uncle Zhao came to the door of the house.
The society of this era is not the money society of later generations. When people deal with others, the only thing they get along with each other for a long time is friendship.
Uncle Zhao has a very high prestige in the village. The two families have had a good relationship since his grandfather's generation. Now when something happens at home, he comes to the door and kowtows as soon as he enters. No matter how unwilling he is, he has to bite the bullet and agree. , who told you to drag a pig and a bear home before?
From this point of view, it can also be seen that Yue Feng's series of performances have gradually gained mainstream recognition in the eyes of the villagers. In the eyes of Uncle Zhao, Yue Feng is already an official hunter leader who has the ability to go into the mountains to kill bears. .
"Okay, Dad, Mom! Don't worry! I know that you and I are thinking about my safety and don't want to take the risk!
Risks and opportunities coexist, if I If you lead someone to kill this bear, then our Yue family will really have a foothold in the village and set up a stick!
I am the grandson of Yue Xianzong, and my grandfather was also famous far and wide in those days! The cannon head is like an eagle's handle! I'm a hero, and your son is no coward!
It's just a blind black bear. We still have the claws and teeth of the brown bear that my grandfather shot. Yes!
Now we need people, guns, and dogs!
It’s not like your son has never beaten a bear before. Isn’t the bear he shot back a few days more difficult to deal with than this seriously injured bear that was shot three times? Still knocked down with a few shots! ”
Seeing his son swearing and patting his chest, Yue Lei and Meng Yulan looked at each other and acquiesced to this result.
The danger is indeed dangerous, but what his son said is right. Now the army is strong and the horse is strong. , four brothers, bringing 56 and a half, and three dogs, no matter how dangerous it is, they can't make a difference.
Yue Lei frowned: "You have never experienced this kind of bear walking on the ice. After dinner later, I will take you to your Uncle Li's house to listen to his advice. Try to go up the mountain safely tomorrow, go down the mountain safely, and be safe! ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
In this way, Xiong Xiongzi, who had no chance to meet Yue Feng, had another turn of events.
After dinner, Yue Lei took Yue Feng to the house of his former neighbor Li Wentong. After Li Wentong told Yue Feng some commonplace precautions, Yue Feng and his father stayed at Li's house until half past eight. Go home and rest.
Early the next morning, it was just dawn, and Xiao Tao and Xiaowen Xiaowu were already fully armed.
Meng Yulan also prepared bear fat and steamed fat cakes for the hunting team who went up the mountain. The four brothers went into the mountain after eating and drinking, leading their dogs.
Yue Feng's idea was actually quite simple. Uncle Zhao found more than one hunter to avenge his nephew, but there was only one bear. Since he went up the mountain with great fanfare, he must have rushed to kill the blind bear down.
So, remember to be early rather than late, go up the mountain early, and go to the scene early. With Dahuang, a cold-headed dog, it is not difficult to catch the hurting hunchback black bear.
The four brothers had a full breakfast at home, then led the dog out and went straight to the No. 19 Forest Farm.
This is the first time that Yue Feng and the hunting dogs given by Chen Pao have officially gone up the mountain for a siege (the nature of going up to the mountain to find people is not counted). It has been a long time since Dahuang almost got into trouble when Chen Pao killed Xiong Cangzi. It has been a long time since I returned to the mountains and forests again, and it was extremely exciting.
Along the way, we stopped and walked, sniffing here and there, and found traces of prey several times on the road, but Yue Feng held the dog's rope with his own hands and never let go.
After a two-hour journey, four people and three dogs arrived again at the place where they found Zhao Yuanjie and the others yesterday.
After another night of northwest wind, the blood stains on the ground were much obscured by snow foam, but the tragedy of yesterday could still be seen.
Yue Feng searched around and quickly found a blood stain that was obviously different in color from other blood stains.
This dark red, slightly black and purple blood stain was the blood stain that flowed out after the bear was injured. Yue Feng led the yellow dog to the blood stain.
“Rhubarb! Sniff!!”
Dahuang was very smart. After hearing Yue Feng's instructions, he immediately lowered his head and smelled the blood. Two seconds later, he raised his head and turned around. He quickly determined the direction of pursuit and barked toward the northwest.
When Dahuang, the leader dog, barked, the two gang dogs following him also became excited instantly.
Seeing this, Yue Feng shook his hand and untied the hemp rope.
“Dahuang, chase!”
After Dahuang got the order, he immediately rushed out and ran towards the direction where the smell came from.
"Let's follow too! We've got all the invasion knives and spears in our hands. No matter where we go, be careful not to be left alone, and keep an eye on your feet!"
Yue Feng chased after a few people. A brother emphasizes safety.
"Don't worry! It's just a seriously injured blind bear. One of us brothers can kill it with one shot! Let's go!!"
Xiao Tao Ti Holding a spear and spreading his long legs, he walked in the mountains and forests with high spirits.
Brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu were much more stable. They dragged the sledge they brought from home and walked slowly behind, a group of four people, advancing in a search formation.
Under the leadership of the big yellow dog, everyone passed directly through the ditch next to Chaiji Road in the No. 19 Forest Farm, and then chased towards the steeper mountains.
At this moment, if there is a drone overlooking the sky, you will find that Rhubarb with the best sense of smell is running at the front, the other two help dogs are in the middle, and the four Yue Feng brothers are left behind. .
