Chapter 154 Revenge
In the evening, when Meng Yulan was getting grass for cooking in the courtyard at the entrance of the courtyard, the version she heard was that the big black eagle raised by his son could catch bears in the mountains. You can catch wild boars and even fight when you encounter tigers.
During dinner in the evening, Meng Yulan took the gossip she heard as a joke and told her family that Yue Feng and Yue Lei were quite calm, but they had always been very disciplined in eating before and only competed with the food. The third sister quietly looked up at Yue Feng with bright eyes after listening to her mother's words.
“Second brother, our big black eagle is really good at catching wild boars and bears? Next time you go up the mountain, can you help me catch a bear cub to raise and play with? It’s such a small one. That’s it!”
Quietly put down the chopsticks, tried hard to draw a length of about forty or fifty centimeters with both hands, and asked with a longing look on his face.
"Silly girl, that's the bragging of the villagers. You really dare to believe it! You've never seen how big that blind bear is. One of his forepaws is as big as your whole little face! Our big black eagle Even if he pierces his claws into the bear's flesh, the bear won't feel any pain or itching!"
Yue Feng was a bit dumbfounded by what his sister thought was a 'reasonable' request.
“I just want to raise a little one, as small as that!” After quietly listening to her brother’s explanation, she still didn’t give up.
After hearing what his daughter said, Yue Lei, who was eating with a bowl next to him, also put down his chopsticks and explained: "Where did the bear cub come from? It must have been born by a female bear! If you don't defeat the big bear, how can you give birth to the cub? What about us?
Besides, our family has only been living for a few days, and we have an eagle and a dog at home. Are you still not curious about it?
Even if we can catch a cub, our family can't afford to raise it. Bears have huge appetites. In one meal, they drink at least... at least eight bowls of big ballast porridge! ”
Yue Lei talked to his daughter with a doting look on his face.
Jingjing didn’t know much about the bear’s appetite, but she heard her father say that he drank eight bowls of rice porridge in one meal. At that time, Jingjing finally had an idea. Her brother and father could only drink two bowls each, and this bear could eat more in one meal than the whole family put together.
"Forget it. Bar! We don’t want to raise any more. Liu Maochen’s family in our class has a little bear cub that is still sucking milk. I’m still thinking about raising one in our family too! "Jingjing shook her head repeatedly and no longer insisted on raising bears.
"What the hell? I lied to you! This is not a kitten or puppy, how can it be so easy to raise a bear! ”
After hearing what his sister said, Yue Feng finally understood why Jingjing also wanted to raise a bear.
Children are like this. She wants whatever rare things her friends have at home. This is normal.
Forget about Xiong Zaizi, in the past, any child in the village had a few Galaha removed from the mutton leg bones, which was very respectable among the children of the same age.
Since the fall of Yue Feng, she has been training kites, bolting eagles, buying dogs, and making guns. As the youngest member of the Yue family, Jing Jing’s status in front of her friends in the village is The rising tide lifts all boats. When she was just setting up the greenhouse a few days ago, she would bring her friends from the village or class to her home every now and then to see the big eagle raised by her brother. However, she received envious looks from many of her friends.
Now someone in my classmate’s family has a bear cub, and the little girl feels that her status has been affected.
Jingjing faced her brother's doubts and explained with reason: "It's not a lie, it's true! Liu Maochen's father works in the forest farm, and the bear cubs were taken out from the hole of the big tree! Two of them fell to death He lost one, and there is still one left!
My classmates went to his house yesterday to see the little bear cub. It was just that big, one size bigger than the puppy. It was so fluffy and so fun! ”
Hearing his sister tell more details about Xiong Zaizi, Yue Feng suddenly felt that his credibility had improved a lot.
The breeding period of black bears is actually quite long. There is a certain probability that they will give birth to cubs after hibernating in a tree hole in October every year.
At this time, the female bear who has cubs is under greater pressure to hibernate. The energy reserves in her body must not only support her own hibernation consumption, but also secrete milk to feed the cubs.
It would be better if it was an adult bear. Big bears have strong foraging abilities. When they put on fat in the fall, they have enough oil reserves to withstand the next winter, even if they have cubs.
The most fearful thing is the female bear who has just become an adult and gets pregnant for the first time and her cubs are born in winter. She has just left her mother and lived alone. She is still a baby. She can fill her belly. It's considered an extraordinary performance. The first winter after adulthood is already difficult. If a bear cub is born again, the body's small energy reserves will not be able to withstand the harsh winter.
What should we do at this time? The only option is to end hibernation early, take advantage of the good weather, climb out of the hibernating tree barn, and move around in search of food.
At this time, if the forest farm is logging in winter and is felled by Xiong Cangzi, it is really possible that there are only cubs in the tree hole, but the mother bear goes out to look for food and is not in the den.
This kind of situation is relatively rare, but objectively it does exist. This is a blind bear walking on ice that is not caused by humans. Because it wakes up hungry in winter and comes out to look for food, it will be very aggressive.
If a mother bear comes back from foraging and finds that her home and cubs are gone, then the stack of offensive buffs will be full.
Thinking of this, Yue Feng immediately asked: "Then Liu Maochen's father didn't meet the mother of the baby bear? Didn't he beat the mother bear to death?"
Jingjing He shook his head: "I asked, and he said there was no female bear. He might have gone out to look for food!"
Well, this time I completely hit the mark.
“You have to worry about going up the mountain to beat a blind bear again? This ice-traveling female bear who lost her cub is not easy to deal with. It is even more dangerous than the bear that hurt people before!”
Obeying Tingyin'er, Yue Lei immediately became nervous when he heard that his son was particularly concerned about bears and started questioning his sister.
Yue Feng grinned: "Dad, you are a little too nervous, we have dogs, eagles, guns, and people!
What kind of tricks can a blind bear make out! 500 I've killed a bear bear weighing 5 pounds, but I'm still afraid of a little female bear?
Judging from the information Jingjing told me, this female bear is probably a three-year-old that went into hibernation after giving birth to her first litter. The little bear just left his mother and became a mother himself!
Who among the smarter bears would give birth during this season?
Even if there is a big mother bear whose due date is in winter, the two cubs will not be able to get much milk in the winter, and they will not have to go out of the barn to find food in the cold wind, ice and snow! "
The truth is this. After Yue Feng finished his analysis, Yue Lei hesitated.
My son has already proven his strength several times in previous performances. , so although Yue Lei felt that the risk was too high and he was unwilling to let his son take the risk, he had to admit that the logic of his son's analysis was correct.
"You have to try it? Then you have to gather enough people and make sufficient preparations! No matter how valuable that bear bile is, it is not as valuable as my son’s life! Don’t make any mistakes! "Yue Lei said after a moment of silence.
"Don't worry, after dinner I will go to Liu Maochen's house to ask my brother Liu what's going on. If it's appropriate, we will take people up the mountain to find this bear tomorrow! ”
It is true that there were a lot of livestock in the mountains in this era, but this too many was relatively large.
Predators like black bears that stand at the top of the food chain, even if their density is relatively high, cannot be like rabbits and pheasants, which can be seen everywhere in front of and behind every house. Now that he has obtained a piece of useful information about the blind black bear, Yue Feng definitely doesn't want to let it go. If he does it, he can not only drag back the blind bear, but also the most precious bear bile, even the bile of a three-year-old female bear. The value of one gall can equal the price of several wild boars sold in the city.
Now that we have a strong army, men and guns, we have no reason not to be moved after hearing the news.
After dinner, Yue Feng cut a piece of wild boar meat from the cellar and carried it. He put his clothes on his chest and left the house, heading straight to the home of Jingjing's friend, Liu Maochen.
The Liu family is also a small family in Xing'an Village, but Liu Maochen's father, Liu Fendou, was a veteran. After he retired, he was given a job. He worked in a forest farm as a front-line security officer. He was responsible for the security work in the area, and everyone who worked there had to work hard. Listening to his greetings, he is considered a fat employee who does not have to work hard and earns a good salary.
Yue Feng came to the door with wild boar meat, and Liu Fendou politely received the second son of the Yue family.
After some questioning and conversation, Yue Feng saw the bear cub that his sister mentioned, and got general information from Liu Fendou.
This bear cub was taken out by the logging workers from the No. 27 forest farm. Liu Fendou, as a safety officer, everyone laughed at him and gave him the bear cub that had just opened its eyes to take home. Coax the children to play.
The Liu family worked in the forest farm and ate commercial food. In addition, Liu Fendou had real power and could usually earn a little extra money, so their life was relatively comfortable, so they brought Xiong Zaizi home to comfort their children.
Yue Feng looked at the bear cub, who was barely a month old and skinny. After such verification, all the previous guesses at home were closed.
After politely thanking him, Yue Feng left Liu Fendou’s house and went straight to Zhang Xiaowen’s house to gather people.
When all the team members were gathered together, Yue Feng explained the general situation. The four of them were all eager to give it a try. They wished they could set out that night and go up the mountain to bring this blind man back.
Just when Yue Feng heard the news and organized his troops to prepare for a big fight, on the other side, in Guilengchang, less than three kilometers away from the No. 27 forest area on the mountain, bad news was coming It's happening.
The female bear who went out to look for food during the day returned to the barn where she was hiding in the tree hole. She found that not only the cubs were gone, but also her home was gone. tree stump.
The angry female bear almost had all her buffs stacked up. She had no cubs and no home. She was instantly ignited with rage for revenge.
Black bears are actually very smart, and the sense of smell in their noses is many times stronger than that of ordinary hounds.
The cub was lost, and the mother bear carefully sniffed the surrounding smells. Following the scent of the lumberjacks, she chased her to Lengchang, where the workers stayed overnight in the mountains.
The so-called Lengchang is actually a place where wood is temporarily stored.
The wood on the mountain is simply felled and branched and then cut into a certain length. The tenants use animals to drag the wood to the Leng factory, and then wait for the inspectors of the lumber factory to inspect and book it and take it away. After a series of processing, it is transported to various parts of the country by train to support national construction.
The tenants who work in Lengchang need to use the strength of animals to drag trees to work. The animals that do heavy physical work cannot be like the production team who only feed them rough materials on weekdays. They have to give them at two or three o'clock every day. They were fed fine food and fat, so the tenants and lumberjacks did not go home at night.
That night, something was wrong with the guard dog in Lengchang. He barked a few times abnormally and before the concierge on the night shift could react, the dog was attacked by a dark shadow. He fell down, and in the blink of an eye, the dog screamed and was bitten to death on the spot.
When the concierge heard the noise, he immediately turned around and went to the duty room to pick up the shotgun behind the door. However, this shotgun was an old-fashioned gun loaded with iron sand. Usually, it would not be a big problem to shoot a jumping cat, pheasant or something like that, but It's simply not good enough to deal with large prey.
The angry female bear, after killing the watchdog, pounced directly on the concierge holding a gun.
A gunshot rang out, and the angry female bear’s upper limb near the shoulder was beaten into a bloody mess by the power of the black powder explosion at close range.
The bear was injured, but instead of being scared away, it became more aggressive. It threw the concierge to the ground, sat down on him, and then started biting him.
When the concierge took in more air and stopped moving, the black bear who came for revenge still did not escape. Instead, he followed the scent trail and came to the apartment where the tenants lived with the Guileng workers. Short dormitory.
The accommodation conditions in Lengchang on the mountain are very poor. Eight people sleep on a large fire bed. The house is low and has poor ventilation and insulation. They are all rough men who work hard. The house is filled with strong smell. The smell of stinky feet.
The gunfire in the middle of the night woke up the sleeping workers, and the horses tied up in the backyard were also frightened by the bear and completely broke up the camp.
The worker here put on his clothes and got up to see what was going on. As soon as he opened the door, he felt a smelly wind coming, and was slapped in the face by a black bear. He was instantly hit. He passed out.
Blind Xiong, who had suffered a gunshot wound, got into the workers' dormitory and launched an earth-shaking bite attack.
It wasn’t until no one in the whole house dared to move that he left.
People in other dormitories heard the noise and formed a group to bravely come out. They found that the bear had left and hurriedly went to check on their fellow workers who had been attacked.
After half a night of busy work, a total of one person died, five were seriously injured, and three were slightly injured in this laminate factory that night.
In all the years the forest farm has been established, this is the first time that a black bear has attacked a person with such terrible consequences. After the news was passed to the forest farm leaders, there was an uproar.
That night, the leader in charge of production safety at the forest farm made important instructions. All injured workers, whether they were outsourced tenants or established forest farm employees, were sent to the city hospital for treatment, and the costs were borne by the forest farm.
In the face of this kind of wild animal injury incident that seriously damages production, organize the manpower of the forest ranger to deal with the black bear as quickly as possible and shoot the black bear seriously to ensure the normal production order of workers! !
That night, the forest ranger team in the main area of the forest farm was organized. 12 forest ranger members, each with a hand of 56 and a half, searched the mountain with flashlights, hoping to find the injured black bear as soon as possible.
Logically speaking, the forest farm organized special people to hunt down the black bears that hurt people. With 56 and a half people, they should not be able to cause any trouble.
Forget about bears, as long as there is organization and planning, even the big claws are dead. It is nothing more than how much manpower and material resources are consumed, how much time and how much extra cost.
But just in time, in the middle of the night, a strong wind blew on the mountain, and white snow began to fall again.
