Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Upon hearing Shen Wei's exclamation, Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing stopped what they were doing and came over to look at the bear cub.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli, who had just come out of the house, along with Xiao Lai and Huang Ying, also ran over.

Looking at the two adorable bear cubs, Wang Xiaomei immediately said excitedly:

"Big brother, you're so kind. You've found me some fun stuff again. Da Mao and Xiao Mao run to the roof every day and don't play with us anymore."

Wang An smiled but didn't reply, but in his heart he was thinking: You guys are always messing with those two, they're not stupid. Besides, as fierce beasts like lynxes, it's already merciful of them not to bite you when you mess with them.

To be fair, perhaps because they've been bullied by Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli since they were little, those two lynxes never bare their teeth or show any hostility towards them.

Wang Xiaoli also shouted happily:
"This puppy's fur is really long, even longer than that of Big Hair and Little Hair."

As the two girls were talking, Wang Xiaomei pulled a bear cub out of the sack without a second thought.

Wang Xiaoli, not to be outdone, reached into the sack and pulled out the other one as well.

That's right, they pulled it out by its leg, and the little bear cub screamed and cried as they were pulled.

After the New Year, my younger sister Wang Xiaoli was already 8 years old, but she still didn't hold back when she hit her.

However, wild animals are very resilient and normally they can survive even the most serious misfortunes.

After hearing Wang Xiaoli's words, Wang An couldn't help but pat her head and say:
"This isn't a puppy, it's a blind bear cub."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoli looked up at Wang An, then pouted and said:

"It's a puppy, I say it's a puppy, so it's a puppy."

Wang An patted Wang Xiaoli's head again and said with a smile:
"Yes, it's a puppy. Whatever you say, hehehehe."

Wang Xiaoli snorted, picked up the bear cub, turned around, and ran away.

Ever since Wang Xiaoli said she didn't want to go to school one morning a couple of days ago, and was scolded by Wang An, she has been sulking with him.

Furthermore, Wang Xiaoli complained to Liu Guilan that her older brother had beaten her.

However, Liu Guilan only said one sentence after listening, which immediately made Wang Xiaoli, who was already in a bad mood, even more depressed. Liu Guilan's exact words were:

"Serves you right, you didn't get a good beating. You deserve it."

These words immediately made Wang Xiaoli even more depressed, but she also started to sulk with Wang An.

Wang Xiaoli ran off with the bear cub in her arms, and Wang Xiaomei, being quite sensible, asked Wang An:

"Big brother, shall we take this little black bear with us?"

Wang An chuckled and patted Wang Xiaomei's head, nodding as he said:
"Okay, take them with you. Tell Xiaoli not to let them kill them."

Wang Xiaomei replied as she ran:
"Got it, big brother."

Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoli ran off with the bear cubs in their arms, and naturally, Xiao Lai and Huang Ying, the two little tagalongs, followed suit.

In the autumn, Xiao Lai and Huang Ying also started school. However, these two little girls studied at Xing'an Township Elementary School with Wang Xiaomei, Wang Xiaoli, and Wang Xiaorong. Anyway, it was less than two miles away, so it didn't matter if they ran back and forth.

The reason why they had to go to Xing'an Township Primary School, which was a bit further away, instead of attending Kaoshantun Primary School, was because the teachers at Kaoshantun Primary School would leave without hesitation, and without a teacher, the children in the village would be given holidays whenever they wanted.

What's the point of attending a school like that?!
Therefore, any parent in the village who cares even a little about their children's education will send their child to study in the township.

After the four girls ran back into the house, Liu Guilan frowned and asked Wang An:

"Xiao An, why are you thinking of raising these black bears again? If they grow up, they'll be huge. What if we don't tame them and they bite our family? Who will be able to handle them then?"

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, Mu Xueqing also said:

"Yeah, if these black bears grow up, no one will be able to handle them. They're terrifying. We shouldn't keep these things at home."

Wang An was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, mainly because he found his mother and wife's words quite puzzling.

For humans, the ferocity and danger of lynxes and wolves are in no way inferior to those of black bears.

In the eyes of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, lynxes and wolves, which are smaller than humans, can be kept as pets, but black bears are considered dangerous and cannot be kept as pets. What kind of bizarre thinking and remarks are these?
You should know that black bears are more intelligent than wolves and lynxes. At least in places like circuses, black bears can be trained to perform. But who has ever heard of wolves and lynxes in a circus?

This is enough to prove that black bears can be trained and can be good friends of humans.

Fortunately, bringing these two little devils back wasn't Wang An's original intention, so Wang An explained:
"I never intended to raise these things. They're just so small, I couldn't bring myself to kill them. So I was thinking of finding a circus or something to sell these two bear cubs to."

The idea of ​​selling the two bear cubs to the circus was the result of Wang An's deep thinking; otherwise, he really couldn't think of a way to make the two bear cubs create some value for him.

Of course, the Harbin Zoo would definitely take them in, but whether they would pay them money is another matter, as they are a public institution.

Wang An believes that such a small black bear is exactly the kind that circuses love.

Because it's the same for all animals, including humans: it's easier to train them when they're young. But once they grow up and develop their own thoughts and wild instincts, it becomes much harder to train them back to their wild nature.

This is why Wang An dared to raise four wolves, including Da Mao, Xiao Mao, and Xiao Bai, as well as the four eagles.

Wang An had absolutely no intention of raising half-grown lynxes or half-grown wolves. If they didn't change their wild nature and hurt his family, Wang An would have no one to turn to for help.

Hearing Wang An say this, Liu Guilan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and Mu Xueqing immediately felt relieved, saying:
"Yeah, we should hurry up and sell them. The thought of having two big black bears wandering around our house gives me the creeps."

It's clear that Mu Xueqing's fear wasn't feigned.

Wang An had heard Mu Xueqing say that when she was sixteen, she encountered a black bear while digging for wild vegetables in the mountains, and the bear even chased her.

Fortunately, a few Oroqen people were passing by on horseback and killed the black bear, saving Mu Xueqing from certain death.

Even so, Mu Xueqing was terrified. For many days in a row, she had nightmares every night and was too scared to sleep.

Later, Mu Hua went to find Lao Xiaopao, who gave Mu Hua a small packet of yellow flour, and Mu Xueqing felt better after drinking it.

Although he didn't know what the small packet of yellow powder was, based on the smell of the yellow powder that Mu Xueqing described, Wang An guessed that it was something like tiger gall powder or leopard gall powder.

Wang An laughed heartily and said:

"Don't worry, I'll get them out of the house as soon as possible."
