Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 175 Old Rival

The reason why it was so easy to determine that the bullet belonged to Su Mao.

This is entirely because the domestic bullet manufacturing technology was learned entirely from Su Mao.

Dai Song, a semi-illiterate man, was not very clear about the historical background here, but he knew that

Although Su Mao learned and improved the industrial technology of making bullets from the West, there were too few copper resources available in Su Mao, so bullet heads and shells had to be replaced with steel.

The disadvantages of doing so are also very obvious.

The first is the problem of steel corrosion.

Once the bullet and shell are exposed to moisture, the joints will inevitably rust, causing the shell to fail, thus causing a series of failures or even accidents.

Secondly, the steel bullet is too hard and has too poor ductility. Not only can it not fit the rifling of the inner wall of the barrel as well as the brass bullet, but it will seriously wear the rifling, causing the barrel to overheat and even deform, which again increases the failure rate of the gun.

In order to overcome these two major problems, the Sumao people developed the process of chemical copper plating.

A circle of copper is plated on the surface of the bullet to prevent rust and fit the rifling of the barrel.

Try to save money on bullet shells and just coat them with a layer of paint to prevent rust.

Later, this technology was also learned by domestic people.

However, the domestic technological level is not as good as that of Sumao for the time being, and it is impossible to achieve a copper coating on the waist of the bullet like Sumao.

Forced to completely copper-clad the bullet.

Therefore, if you want to identify which country a bullet belongs to from the only two countries in the world that use painted steel bullet casings, you only need to look at the bullet head;

The bullet head is wrapped with a circle of copper, revealing a black or red steel tip, which is called Su Mao.

Otherwise it is domestic.

“Hoo~ho~ho!”

Erhan had put his head close to Dai Song's head at some point, and kept sniffing the bullet in Dai Song's hand. His two little eyes slowly focused, and then it was as if a fire was burning inside, and he kept raising his head and roaring.

Snapped--!
Dai Song knocked on Erhan's head, and the latter pursed his lips in dismay. He glanced at the mother bear, and seeing that she was still lying on the snow with her tongue sticking out, he sighed and immediately buried his head in Dai Song's arms, pouting his lips and making non-stop noises as if he was aggrieved or complaining.

This is it! This is it!
I remember the taste of it!

As Erhan blew the bullet in his hand, tears welled up in his little eyes.

Dai Song immediately guessed Er Han's intention.

"Your mother was also beaten by the other party?"

"Hello~"

Erhan suddenly cried out and started crying.

It tilted its head and sobbed continuously, and its tears as big as beans soon wet a large area of ​​Dai Song's waist and abdomen.

Since I met Erhan, this was the first time it cried so sadly. Even when it was just picked up from the mother bear, it was not so sad (I guess it was too young at the time and did not understand the significance of that separation).

"Okay! I got it, Erhan, don't worry!

I will definitely avenge your mother!

But now is not the time to think about revenge or find the opponent, we have to deal with the big mother bear first, right?"

"throat!"

Erhan's tear glands seemed to be run over by a tractor, and his tears stopped instantly.

It moved its butt, tilted its head awkwardly, and used its front paws to wipe away the tears on its face. Then it pouts its lips and sucks its lips loudly - never forgetting to replenish the salt lost in its body.

Dai Song's eyelids twitched, and then he continued to devote himself to the arduous task of treating the wound.

Compared with the large laceration on the mother bear's shoulder and back, the other small wounds were actually not difficult to treat, and the amount of bleeding was minimal.

All they had to do was take out the bullet stuck inside and then sew it up.

With the help of the small wooden tweezers carved by Dai Song, the process of removing the bullet became much simpler.

Although the mother bear screamed in pain again, it didn't wake her up at least.
The mother bear seemed to be lucky, as these dense wounds did not injure her tendons and bones, which could be judged from the force required to remove the bullet - how could a bullet stuck in the bone be removed by such makeshift small wooden tweezers?
Dai Song worked until almost noon, finally removing all the bullets from the 23 small wounds and sutured them.

"Whoo~"

Dai Song shook his neck, put all the bullets into the small cloth bag, and then knocked on the head of Erhan who had stuck the mouthpiece into the cloth bag.

"What are you doing? Why don't you help free your big mother bear?"

"Huh? Hum!"

Erhan's eyes rolled around and he reacted immediately.

He hurriedly ran behind the tree, held his head high, and waited for Dai Song to loosen the noose on the mother bear's paws.

As soon as Dai Song untied the noose, the bear squinted its eyes, bit Dai Bo's fishing gang token impatiently without even looking at it, and ran to the mother bear, pulling and dragging it.
"throat?"

Where is Dai Song?
"Look carefully before you do it..."

Erhan blinked his little eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

Dai Song's hands were tied with a noose, leaving a long groove on the snow. The top of his light pink autumn trousers were exposed. His wrists were red from being tightened by the noose, and his expression was extremely ferocious. He was gnashing his teeth as he tried to untie the noose.

I don’t know if it was because he was in pain from being pulled, but he was cursing while untying the condom... The rope in Erhan’s mouth fell into the snow with a snap.

He rushed to Dai Song and tried to bite the noose around his neck, but was rejected by Dai Song before he could even get close.

"You are really good, idiot... Fortunately, I have good eyesight and didn't put my head close to you. If you had been pulling the rope and putting it on your shoulder at the same time, you would have been sent away by me in an instant, you know?"

"Puff~puff~"

Erhan felt so guilty that his eyes moved left and right, and he didn't dare to look at Dai Song at all.

"Get up, get up!

Stepping on the rope! "

Dai Song slapped Erhan's fat paws away, sat up angrily, untied the noose, and straightened the rope.

Fortunately, the rope had been maintained with sturgeon oil all year round and its surface was not rough, so it only left a circle mark on the wrist without breaking the skin. Otherwise, even he would have gotten some sores from the frostbite, and then he would have to go around the mountain looking for frostbite.

"It's OK. The wounds on the mother bear have been stitched up. It's cold, so I don't think it will get infected. It must have lost too much blood and is too weak. It should wake up after a while."

"Hang! Hang!"

Upon hearing this, Erhan jumped excitedly, then stood up and put the mouthpiece on Dai Song's shoulder.

This intimate action directly put tremendous pressure on Dai Song's lumbar spine.

"My goodness! Erhan, why are you so heavy?
It should be around 250-60 kilograms!" Dai Song shook Erhan's big, loose belly.

"I haven't taken you hunting recently. Are you used to eating cannon balls?"

"Hello~"

Erhan got off Dai Song and raised his head towards the black wolf in the distance.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

Dai Song was happy.

"Hey! That's great. I live on your land and know how to repay you. This way I don't have to send you any more trouble. Because of this, the village almost wanted me to arrest you!"

Looking at the dumbfounded Xiao Erhan, he couldn't help but think of the embarrassing appearance of him sneaking out of the village with needle and thread, avoiding the people in the village, and quietly climbing over the wall. He shook his head and continued,

"I'm going back first. It shouldn't be a problem anymore. If anything happens, it won't be something I can solve."

Dai Song said as he picked up Erhan's face and squeezed it hard, causing it to open its mouth and stare, waving its two paws in front of it.
"Besides, let me tell you one more time!

Don't go to the village!

Especially these few days, you know? If you go again, don't even think about avenging your mother!
You will be chased all over the mountain, and even the tree nest will be blown up, don't you understand?"

“Hum~hum~”

Erhan felt dizzy and hummed subconsciously.

Dai Song pursed his lips and tapped the head of the little bear who didn't learn his lesson.

"Let's go. I spent the whole morning with your big she-bear!"

Erhan pouted his lips and followed Dai Song happily. Although he had just been beaten, his squinting little eyes were full of diligence and joy.

"Oh, right." Dai Song flicked Erhan's floppy ears, "Do you still remember that piece of stick land?

There are also some broken mallets in there. Although they don’t look good, the effects are still very good.

If the mother bear wakes up, give her some food, but don't feed her too much, as it will get angry easily. She has already lost a lot of blood, and with the effect of the medicine from the mallet, who knows what will happen."

“Puff~
"Erhan's ears trembled slightly, and his eyes narrowed in guilt. Before Dai Song discovered the clue, he pouted his lips and looked at the forest on the other side...

They climbed back over the wall and returned to the village, and Dai Song slipped back home first.

Everyone in the family swarmed over and took a careful look at Dai Song. Seeing that he was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at him eagerly.

Dai Song waved his hand and took out a small blood-stained cloth bag from his arms.
"Alright, the bullets we took out are all here. Xiaowan, please keep them for safekeeping. These bullets belong to the Sumao people."

The Dai family members, who originally had a lot to say, fell silent after hearing this.

Nan Chunwan hurriedly carried the small cloth bag and ran into the main room, hiding it in the innermost part of the kang cabinet, placing it side by side with the big unity that Dai Song had given her these days.

"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal, we can just live our lives as usual."

Dai Song pretended to be careless and then took the initiative to talk to Xiao Erhan, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After lunch and a short rest, Jiang Haohan drove his Liberation truck to the gate of the courtyard.

"Songzi?!" Jiang Haohan frowned as soon as he saw Dai Song. "Oh my God! You must have been working hard recently! Look how tired you are. The dark circles under your eyes look like they were smoked by cigarettes!"

"It's OK, uncle, come in and sit for a while. There's no rush. Warm yourself up first!"

"No, let's hurry up! It will take a long time to catch the wild boar. If you are hit by the frozen wild boar's hoof by accident, it will be no joke!"

"Oh, okay." Dai Song frowned, turned around and called Dai Bo, then looked at Jiang Haohan who seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Uncle, what's going on? Is it inconvenient at the forest farm?

Actually, you don’t need to ask for leave. I can just ask a few trusted folks to lend a hand.”

"No, no, don't think too much about Songzi." Jiang Haohan straightened his back, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath,
"It's not a big deal. We are old rivals in the forest farm. We have been fighting for many years. I just don't know what they will do this time..."
