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

Chapter 140 Twin Bears Cangzi
However, Chen Weidong didn't care about this. He captured the big guy alive because he was still on his way to the bear warehouse. Killing the big guy would not only delay the journey of the four of them,

Moreover, the smell of blood might attract wild animals in the mountains. You should know that at this moment Chen Weidong and his four companions are still in the deep mountains and forests.

"Bingzi, I have some dog food in my bag. Take it out and feed some to Black Tiger and the others. It doesn't have to be much. Half a block of dog food for each dog will be enough." Chen Weidong instructed Bingzi.

"OK!"

Bingzi agreed, walked forward, opened Chen Weidong's backpack, and took out dog food to feed the dog.

After hunting dogs capture prey, they must be fed something, preferably the prey they caught. If not, feed them dry food.

Otherwise, over time, the dog will become lazy and unwilling to continue hunting.

After Bingzi finished feeding the dog, Chen Weidong handed the big guy over to Shitou and asked them to leave.

Not long after the four of them left, a group of sand chickens suddenly flew out from a snow nest not far away.

This sand chicken, like roe deer, eats leaf tips and buds on the branches of secondary forests in winter.

Therefore, they mostly rest in such forests, and when it snows heavily, they will burrow into the snow. As long as someone passes by and startles them, the moment they fly out of the snow is the best time to catch them.

However, Chen Weidong and his three companions were not interested in catching sand chickens.

In fact, in the deep mountains, you can often encounter sand chickens, pheasants, and hares. You can also see footprints of wild boars, roe deer, and other wild animals. However, the main target of Chen Weidong and his four companions this time is Xiong Cangzi. They cannot lose the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

On the mountain road, the four of them skied and walked for more than two hours. Near noon, Chen Weidong and the other three arrived at a hillside.

Then Li Shengli pointed to a pine forest on a small hill in the distance and said, "The Tiger Ridge is ahead, and the bear warehouse is in this forest."

Although Chen Weidong, Shitou Bingzi and the other two had never been to Laohuling, they had all heard of it in the village. The origin of Laohuling was very simple, that is, tigers appeared frequently here in the past, causing many accidents!
Even now, some elderly people in the village still often talk about things in Laohuling.

"Brother Shengli, I heard from my father that the northwest of Tiger Ridge is Woniu Valley, what is the southeast place?"

Bingzi suddenly asked at this time.

"Bingzi, why do you want to ask this?"

"No, I suddenly remembered that many people in the village seem to be talking about Tiger Ridge, but I seem to have never heard anyone mention what is southeast of Tiger Ridge."

Bingzi scratched his head.

"After Tiger Ridge, we will be out of the territory of Laohei Mountain. That is the real deep mountain. It is really a place with few people going there."

"To the northeast of Tiger Ridge is Panchang Mountain, and further inside Panchang Mountain is Black Mountain Peak. Because there is a swamp between Panchang Mountain and Black Mountain Peak, generally no one has ever been there. As for other places, they don't have names!"

Li Shengli said casually.

"Brother Shengli, you really know a lot!"

Shitou and Bingzi said.

"That's right. You two have only been in the mountains for a few days. I followed my father to the mountains when I was 18 years old. I have encountered all kinds of situations in the mountains over the years! I am living a good life."

Li Shengli said proudly.

"Brother Shengli, I heard that he was almost attacked by a wild boar last time, but was saved by Brother Weidong!"

Stone laughed.

"Ahem! Everyone has a capsized incident!"

"Okay, stop talking, we're almost there!" Chen Weidong spoke at this time.

Then he asked Shitou to tie the big guy to a wild walnut tree on the side of the road.

Then, the group of four continued to climb up the hill, leading the dog.

This time, Li Shengli's memory of Xiong Cangzi was much clearer, so there was no need to search separately. He directly took Chen Weidong to find the huge red pine tree where the blind bear was hidden.

This is an ancient red pine tree that is two arms thick. There is a tree hole the size of a water tank about one meter above the ground.

"Brother Weidong, it's not an empty warehouse. Look, there's frost hanging above the tree hole!"

Bingzi and Shitou were surprised.

These days, I have learned a lot by following Chen Weidong and Li Shengli up the mountain.

"Brother Weidong, how did we fight?" Shitou and Bingzi asked excitedly.

"Just like last time, Shitou, find a stick and knock on the tree to wake up the blind bear. When the blind bear tries to crawl out, run away."

Chen Weidong ordered.

"Okay! Let's get ready now!"

Shitou agreed, drew out his knife, and turned to look for a stick.

"Stone, wait a minute."

Li Shengli said, and then turned to Chen Weidong, "Weidong, you see the frost is a bit thick, maybe this is a double bear warehouse."

"Twin Bear Cangzi?!"

Chen Weidong knew that Li Shengli was an experienced hunter and would not shoot without a purpose, so he immediately observed the frost above the tree hole.

"It's really possible that it's Shuangxiong Cangzi."

Chen Weidong nodded.

Shuangxiongcangzi refers to the tree hole where there are two blind bears living.

After a bear cub is born, it hibernates with its mother bear in the first year and is not separated from her until the second year.

However, this is not necessarily the case. If the female bear does not mate and become pregnant in the second year, the young bear may still hibernate with the female bear.

So, it is normal to have two blind bears in the tree hole. There may even be three or four blind bears hibernating together. "Bingzi, follow Shitou and the two of you first find two longer wood roots, about three meters long."

Chen Weidong immediately changed his strategy.

"OK!"

Shitou and Bingzi agreed.

Chen Weidong took Li Shengli to clear the snow around them, and then found some dead wood to light a bonfire.

Not long after, Shitou and Bingzi came to Chen Weidong, each holding a long wooden stick as thick as an arm.

"Today we need to change the method to dig out the bear's nest. If it is a double bear nest, the hole of the tree is a bit big, and it will be easy for the blind bear to enter and exit. The original method is likely to fail."

So, Shitou, you first block the cave entrance with a stick to restrict the blind bear from entering and leaving, and then knock on the tree hole to wake up the blind bear. "Chen Weidong explained the method of digging out the bear's coffin.

"OK!"

Shitou nodded.

Bingzi, you are still responsible for holding the dog! If I tell you to let it go, you should let it go immediately.

"Brother Shengli, you should do the same as last time. Wait here and shoot when the blind bear comes out.

Hit the bear's shoulder first, and then after it climbs down, shoot its head.

If, after the blind bear has landed, you haven't killed it yet, don't hesitate, just run over there."

Chen Weidong then explained everything in detail to Li Shengli.

Although Li Shengli knew all of this and they had worked together to fight a blind bear last time, Chen Weidong still explained it again in detail.

This is the rule. Only by explaining it in advance can everyone cooperate better.

What's more, this time they might be encountering a warehouse with two bears, so the degree of danger would be greatly increased. Even Chen Weidong's escape route after his failure would have to be arranged in advance, and multiple escape routes would have to be arranged.

After deciding on the plan to rob the bear's warehouse, everyone started to act separately.

"Don't worry! Brother Weidong, this isn't the first time we've taken out a bear's warehouse, nothing will go wrong!"

Shitou and Bingzi patted their chests and smiled confidently.

"Well, if you miss, just run around the bonfire!"

Ignorance is bliss. The two had an easy fight last time, and they have been suffering from empty arms recently, so naturally they are more excited than afraid.

However, Chen Weidong was not as confident as the other two. Whether he was robbing a bear's nest or hunting other large wild animals, he had to plan for defeat before planning for victory.

Experienced hunters always make arrangements for their retreat before starting hunting.

Of course, Shitou and Bingzi's confidence is also a good thing for the team. It is much better than being afraid and failing at critical moments.

After everything was ready, Chen Weidong gestured to start knocking the tree hole with stone, and immediately climbed up the pine tree next to it.

Bang!
Bang, bang!
The stone had just been struck twice.

Suddenly, the dog in Bingzi's arms, which had been very quiet, started barking wildly.

Grass!
Chen Weidong turned his head and couldn't help cursing.

He saw two blind bears, one big and one small, suddenly appear less than thirty meters to his right.

It's really a long time to see you.

Not only did we encounter a walking camel, but also, very surprisingly, two adult blind bears.

The camel is walking because of some unexpected circumstances, such as being disturbed by humans, the bear not hibernating, or waking up from hunger in the autumn due to not eating enough, and the bear wandering outside in the winter.

The anger value of the camel-walking blind bears is very high, because when they are sleeping soundly,
Awakened by the hunter, the blind bear's desire to attack is the strongest at this time.

You should know that bear cubs usually separate from their mothers and live alone in the winter of the second year or the spring and summer of the third year.

Because the estrus period of the Northeastern blind bear is generally in summer, the blind bear will be separated from the mother bear in the summer of the third year or the winter of the second year.

Otherwise, it is easy to be killed by male blind bears.

A blind male bear encounters a mother bear with cubs.
The cubs will be killed so that the mother bear will go into heat again.

Therefore, mother bears with cubs will try their best to avoid male blind bears.

The blind bear in front of you is a second-year bear cub. It is already a young blind bear and weighs about 200 kilograms.

An adult female blind bear usually weighs about 400 kilograms.

This was also beyond the expectations of Chen Weidong and Li Shengli. Not only did they encounter two bears, but they were also two blind bears.

Damn, the blind bear has also learned to be smart.

Know how to use the empty city plan.

Howl!

howl!
After two consecutive roars, the two blind bears pounced on them madly.

Chen Weidong, Shitou, and Li Shengli form a triangle. Bingzi is a little to the right of Chen Weidong.

Right now, the people closest to the two blind bears are Li Shengli and Shitou. If the positions of Li Shengli and Shitou are regarded as a straight line, then they form a triangle with the two blind bears.

The two blind bears were about the same distance from Li Shengli and Shitou, but Shitou was unlucky and was targeted by the two blind bears.
