Chapter 269 265: Bear Haunted
If something really happened, Wang Tianxin and Liu Yuan, the old and the young, had almost no fighting power, and had to wait for protection, so they would definitely be more passive.
"Everyone pay attention to it, and look at a tree with a diameter of two or three meters. If there is a tree hole, it is very likely that there are bears hiding in it.
We don’t need to hunt bears that are too big. The risk is high. If the tree hole is smaller, the bears inside will be relatively small and less experienced, so it is easier to hunt. "
"Well, that's it. Anyway, what we need is bear oil, and we don't expect to sell anything by killing bears."
Wang Tianxiao appreciates Cui Wanshan's calmness.
No matter what you encounter, you can always find the most direct way without doing anything redundant.
After the four of them walked into the woods, they found that there were still some small animals in the woods.
Mountain hares and some mustelids.
After running over, there will be rows of small footprints on the snow, and small snowflakes will be brought up and flying around.
There are also birds on the tree, which look like crows, but are lighter in color than crows.
This one is difficult to determine the species.
The same animals or birds may have different external characteristics due to different geographical environments.
Wang Tianxiao only knows some relatively common birds.
The four of them were groping in the forest, but their speed was not very fast.
Sometimes it looks like there is a flat ground in front of you, but when you step on it, you will find that there is a deep pit underneath, so there is still a certain degree of danger.
No choice, so I had to hold a stick and test the ground in front of me while walking, a bit like a blind man's wayfinding stick.
"When will I find it?"
Wang Tianxin got a little impatient when he left.
This is completely different from the thrilling bear hunting process he imagined.
It's like trying to steal a chicken from someone's house.
"Don't be impatient and be patient. Don't you know that those ligers are likely to lurk for several days and nights in order to hunt. How long have you been gone?"
Wang Tianxiao said to his younger brother.
"Okay, I know."
“It’s like doing everything, just… wait!”
Wang Tianxiao suddenly stopped everyone.
"What's wrong, bro?!"
Wang Tianxin regained his spirit immediately.
Cui Wanshan also looked at Wang Tianxiao suspiciously.
"Look at that tree in front of you."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly found that there was a hole under a cypress tree tens of meters away.
"You guys don't move, I'll go and have a look."
Wang Tianxiao held the gun, approached the trunk lightly, walked around from behind, put his ear on the trunk and listened.
Soon, he beamed.
walked slowly back to the team.
"How about it, old Wang."
"In stock!"
"Ah, really?"
Wang Tianxin was ecstatic. After walking for so long, he finally found the bear.
"I can hear it very clearly. There is a sound of breathing inside. It's not particularly strong. It probably has been hibernating for a long time."
"Great, I finally found it, so what should we do now?"
When Xiong was found, the three adults were relatively calm, but Wang Tianxin was the most excited.
Cui Wanshan looked at Xiong's tree hole, then at the surrounding environment, and began to arrange tasks.
"Well, Tianxin, you and Uncle Liu retreat a few tens of meters, find a bigger tree, hide behind and watch, Lao Wang, let's confirm the nearby ground conditions.
"good."
Wang Tianxin saw that his brother agreed very readily, but he had no business of his own, and was still a little unconvinced, and was dragged away by Liu Yuan's arm.
"What are you pulling me for, old man."
"Don't hinder others from doing their business."
"There's nothing serious about it. Since the bear is in the tree hole, it's fine to stick the gun in and kill it with two shots."
Liu Yuan gave him a blank look, and motioned him to take the knife, "If you kill a bear in the hole, use your brain a little bit, how can you get it out if you kill a bear in the hole."
"this…"
"Wait a minute, bear hunting is not easy, that's because we happen to have guns, but those who don't have guns, how do they hunt and kill bears. Or, in case our guns misfire Well, Qiang didn't kill the bear, and went berserk, these were all accidents.
Child, if you really want to learn something, you have to use your brain more. It seems that hunting and killing wild animals is manual ability, but in fact it uses brains. If you are too stupid, you will die at the mouth of the beast. "
Wang Tianxin listened to Liu Yuan's words and did not refute. He found that what Liu Yuan said was correct. The second brother and Cui brother really didn't want to beat the bear to death immediately, but used sticks to test the surrounding ground repeatedly, patiently It's the same as turning the ground inch by inch.
When they encountered some branches buried in the snow, they would pull up all the branches and throw them far away.
The two of them didn't find it troublesome at all during this process, they were really very patient.
Even, they also measured the diameter of several relatively thick and large trees nearby, and circled around the tree a few times.
Find a few satisfactory trees, and then clean up all the snow under the trees.
Finally, he walked carefully around Xiong Dai's tree, and began to clean up the environment around that tree.
It took at least two hours for the two of them to walk back to Liu Yuan and the others from the beginning to the end.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Wang Tianxin knew that there must be a reason for Wang Tianxiao and the others to do this, but he didn't know why.
"This is to prevent emergencies. We have to let the bear come out before shooting, otherwise it will rot into the tree hole and there is no way to get it out. We can't cut down such a thick tree just to get a bear.
When the bear comes out, anything can happen.
You must be thinking, one shot will do. But in case of an accident, it will involve escape and the bear's detour route.
By the way, I forgot to mention that, because the bear sleeps in the tree hole very soundly, and it takes a lot of effort to startle it out. After the bear came out, he must have been very dissatisfied with the people who influenced him behind the tree. If he couldn't knock the bear down immediately, he would definitely attack the people who disturbed him. "
"So, these preparations are made to provide escape channels for those who wake up the bear?"
"Yes, you see why I test the ground. It is to prevent the nearby weak ground or small pits buried by snow. Because we have two feet, if one foot unfortunately steps into the pit, the other We couldn't keep our balance on one foot at all, and our dad staggered at least, and we might even fall to the ground in severe cases.
In the same way, it is the same reason for us to clean up the surrounding weeds and branches. These things may be the sundries that trip us up at critical moments.
As for cleaning up the environment around those trees, it is to leave a few key escape opportunities for myself. Once the bear comes out, the speed will be very fast, and it is impossible for us humans to run away from the bear in a straight line.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, we run around with bears, that is, running around trees. Bears are bulky, and it is most difficult to circle around. This method can consume the bear's energy, and then look for opportunities to escape.
We clear the snow under the trees to prevent accidents. Isn't there snow on the ground now, if you run in a hurry, you will be easily slipped, but the bear's feet have a large bearing area, so it is difficult to fall, and we will fall into crisis when we come and go.
"I didn't expect there to be so many connections, rules, I learned another trick now." Wang Tianxin said excitedly.
"Okay, everything is ready, just need to lure the bear out of the hole."
Wang Tianxiao asked Liu Yuan and Wang Tianxin to retreat to the back. He found a suitable position, set up the gun, and pointed it at the entrance of the bear cave.
With his accuracy and such a short distance, one shot to the head will surely send him home with two shots.
Get ready, he gestured to Cui Wanshan, who was still standing behind a tree in the distance, holding a thick firewood, to start.
Cui Wanshan nodded, without thinking too much, picked up the wooden stick and hit the back of the tree hard.
"boom!"
Strike with full power, the sound was so loud that Wang Tianxiao and everyone in the distance were almost deaf.
Wang Tianxiao hurriedly pointed the gun at the tree hole of the bear, but did not see the bear come out
So, he asked Cui Wanshan to continue tapping.
It didn’t come out all of a sudden, which means that the bear has been hibernating for too long and has entered a deep sleep.
It is impossible to wake it up with a slight vibration.
Cui Wanshan picked up the stick and hit the tree again. Later, this time, he used more force, and hit it more than a dozen times in one go.
Sudden-
Out of the hole came an earth-shattering roar.
It was as if the whole tree was trembling from his roar.
Seeing this, Cui Wanshan hurriedly walked around from behind, and ambushed behind a tree on the side with a gun, forming a right angle with Wang Tianxiao's frontal sniper.
Pass!
A pair of bear paws protruded from the inside, grabbing the tree hole, and the next moment, the bear's head protruded from the hole.
Good guy!
Wang Tianxiao gasped.
It turned out to be an adult black blind man.
Originally, when they were looking for a tree hole, they didn’t find a particularly big one. They thought they only needed to find a smaller one, or a black bear that had just grown up. Obviously, they needed to deal with it.
If it is an adult guy, he is too stubborn in his life, and if he doesn't do it, something big will happen.
Unexpectedly, this black bear didn't follow the routine.
It is obviously such a big body, but it has to be squeezed into such a small tree hole.
The black bear is a relatively small type of bear.
There are mainly two types, one is in the Americas, and the other is the black bear in Asia.
Our country belongs to the Asiatic black bear category.
Compared to American black bears, Asiatic black bears are smaller in size and weight.
The average weight of an adult male black bear is about 150 to 60 kilograms, and the maximum weight can reach 250 kilograms.
He is also relatively short in stature, usually only about 1.50 to 60 centimeters when standing up, about the height of a primary school student.
However, these are relatively common bears.
Just like humans have Yao Ming's height, black bears also have big ones, so if you are unlucky, you may meet a super black bear standing two meters high.
Right now, Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan became vigilant when they saw half a bear's head exposed, and their fighting spirit was a little higher than before.
This black bear is no longer a little bear.
Judging from this head ratio, the weight is at least two hundred kilograms away.
Belongs to the more powerful black bears.
When a bear is big, its skin and flesh are strong. Maybe a small bear will fall down with a single shot, but a big bear usually hits the body with a single shot.
The black bear in the cave was sleeping soundly, but suddenly woke up, and immediately lost his temper.
I just wanted to come out and take a good look at who was going to provoke him at this time.
I don't know if its bear temper comes up, no one is afraid.
In fact, many animals hibernate, but different animals hibernate to different degrees.
For example, the hibernation of a snake is to completely lower the body temperature to the limit, similar to a state of suspended animation.
Even if a hibernating snake is dug out, it will not be able to react for a long time and will not wake up.
So snakes belong to deep hibernation, also called true hibernation.
The bears just slow down their breathing and try not to waste too much energy. If the weather is good, or if they are really hungry, they will come out to find food, and then go back to sleep after they are full.
Therefore, the bear's hibernation is also called shallow hibernation, also called false hibernation.
The bear at the moment should be the kind of bear that finally sleeps more steadily. It is very difficult to wake up, and after waking up, it has a bad temper.
In the tree hole, the bear looked out of the hole for a while, and found nothing wrong.
It struggled to squeeze outside, and found that the tree hole became smaller.
It took a lot of effort to not squeeze it out.
This can make it angry.
Directly struggled to use its claws to pull the edges of the tree holes on both sides.
The trunk of a hundred-year-old tree is not very strong. Under the slap of the bear, wood chips are constantly flying out and scattered in all directions, as if there is a small excavator inside, constantly throwing the soil outside.
"Good guy, this head is so big, how big should it be inside?"
Wang Tianxin and Liu Yuan hid beside them, and when they saw the bear's head, they couldn't help but secretly startled, and compared the bear's paws with their own hands, they were even more shocked than they could believe.
"Didn't it mean that the bear is not as tall as me? Why is his head and palm so much bigger than mine?"
Liu Yuan kept looking at Xiong with all his attention, and seeing that he was noisy, he whispered, "It doesn't matter, Xiong's brain is about the same size as yours."
"Oh, that's good... Hey, why do I feel like you're scolding me?"
"I'm complimenting you...don't talk, the bear's hearing is very sensitive, talking will let it quickly identify our location."
"oh!"
Wang Tianxin quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
He was condescending, looking at his brother who was lying on his face, without moving his posture from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, as if there was a dummy thrown over there instead of a real person with flesh and blood.
Then I remembered what I said earlier, hunters must have a lot of patience.
Cui Wanshan, who was secretly looking over there, was also very quiet.
If you don’t look carefully, you won’t see a person lying on the ground at all.
Their bodies are almost always kept absolutely still, motionless.
"Aww!"
"Shut up!!"
Bear patted for a while, tired.
