Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"Crackling and popping..."

"Crackling and popping..."

At the entrance of the bear's den, fallen leaves were the first to catch fire, and flames shot upwards, igniting the dry branches as well.

Scorched by the intense heat of the flames, the snow that had been evenly and finely sprinkled on the ground melted and slowly fell onto the burning leaves and withered branches.

As the flames burned, a plume of thick, dark gray smoke rose into the air.

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough..."

The thick smoke rose so suddenly, and with the mountain wind blowing it, it rushed straight towards Old Liang and Director Zhou, choking them so much that they had to cover their mouths and noses and cough incessantly.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunshan and Li Yunshi took off their cotton-padded coats, held them in their hands like two fans, and fanned the billowing smoke into the bear's cave.

The choking smoke was partly blown away by the wind, and partly fanned into the cave by Li Yunshan and Li Yunshi with their cotton coats. The bear's nose is naturally very sensitive, and it can smell the faint smell of blood from several miles away. Otherwise, it wouldn't have run two or three miles from the foot of the mountain to the ridge to eat the corpse of the wolf cub.

Stimulated by the thick smoke, the bear cubs hiding in the cave became restless and let out low growls.

"Big brother, be careful, the bear cubs inside are throwing a tantrum, they might charge out in a minute."

Hearing the low growls of bear cubs coming from the cave, Li Yunshan gave a warning and told Director Zhou and Old Liang to step back and stay far away.

"Don't worry, I've been hunting for over ten years, I'll be careful."

Li Yunshi patted his chest and said with a smile.

However, not long after Li Yunshi finished speaking, the low growls of the bear cubs in the cave were getting closer and closer to the cave entrance.

Hearing the increasingly close growls, Li Yunshan knew that the bear cubs were about to charge out.

"Big brother, get out of the way."

Just as he shoved Li Yunshi aside, a chubby, black bear cub rushed out of the cave.

After the bear cub rushed out of the cave, it pounced directly on Li Yunshan.

Not far away, both Old Liang and Director Zhou were startled by the bear cub that suddenly rushed out of the cave.

When he saw the bear cub rushing towards Li Yunshan, Old Liang quickly picked up his Type 38 rifle, pulled the bolt, chambered a bullet, and prepared to feed the bear cub a peanut.

"Old Liang, don't use the gun. If you shoot this brat, he'll be worthless."

Upon hearing the sound of the bolt being pulled back, Li Yunshan immediately shouted.

He glanced warily at the bear cub that had missed its target. The cub was not very big, weighing only about 80 or 90 pounds.

Based on the bear cub's movements, Li Yunshan was able to determine that the cub must have been born earlier this year.

If it was born recently, the bear cub should be at most the size of a canteen.

"If not guns, then what?"

Director Zhou wondered, did Li Yunshan intend to subdue this bear cub with his bare hands?

He glanced at the bear cub and thought to himself, "Don't be ridiculous. This bear cub must weigh at least 80 or 90 pounds, and its strength must be astonishing."

At least, even though he had served in the army, he wouldn't dare to fight this bear cub with his bare hands.

"Use your fists and feet to beat it until it bows its head."

Li Yunshan grinned.

If he encountered an adult bear, he would definitely shoot it directly.

But if we can capture these half-grown bear cubs alive, we can sell them to buyers who need them.

For example, since bear bile can be used in medicine, some pharmaceutical companies will raise bears in captivity; or, bears can be sold to zoos.

Although he doesn't have these channels yet, he still knows some of the tricks of the trade compared to Director Zhou or Old Liang.

Now that the bear cub has charged out and is fighting him hand-to-hand, he can't just shoot it dead or let it escape.

Let's first subdue this bear cub, then capture it, and then slowly find a buyer to sell it to.

"What? With fists and feet?"

Both Old Liang and Director Zhou stared wide-eyed.

Li Yunshi was also surprised; he hadn't expected Li Yunshan to be so bold: "Third brother, don't try to be a hero."

"Brother, don't worry, I'm still confident in dealing with this half-grown bear cub."

Although Li Yunshan spoke casually, he remained vigilant in the slightest, his eyes fixed on the bear cub.

"roar."

At this moment, the bear cub, having missed its target, turned around, grinned, revealing two fangs, lowered its hind legs, and with a sudden burst of strength, pounced on Li Yunshan with all four limbs.

"Holy crap, that was fast, and it jumped pretty high! Is it trying to bite my neck?!"

Li Yunshan suddenly sidestepped, dodging the bear cub's attack, then punched the bear cub in the side with his right fist.

"Bang!"

Li Yunshan punched the bear cub, making a dull thud.

The bear cub was in pain and couldn't stand steadily after landing, rolling several times on the snow.

While the bear cub was rolling in the snow, Li Yunshan leaped forward and pounced on it. As the bear cub stopped rolling, he jumped on top of it, spread his legs, and straddled its body.

Li Yunshan weighed about 160 or 170 pounds. Such a heavy weight was too much for the bear cub to bear, even though this half-grown bear cub, which weighed nearly 100 pounds, was naturally strong. Its hind legs involuntarily bent down.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Yunshan grabbed the bear cub by the scruff of its neck with his left hand and punched it in the forehead with his right.

After being punched on the head, the bear cub felt a buzzing in its head and the world spinning before its eyes.

"Third brother, let me help you."

Seeing that Li Yunshan had swiftly subdued the bear cub, Li Yunshi roared and rushed over to help. He grabbed the bear cub's two hind legs and pulled hard, preventing the cub's hind legs from touching the ground and thus rendering it powerless.

"Brother, I can control this bear cub. Get some rope and help me tie its two hind legs."

Li Yunshan shouted.

He couldn't kill this bear cub; he wanted to capture it alive.

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunshi quickly took a rope about the thickness of an index finger from his waist, first tied one of the bear cub's legs, then wrapped the rope around the other leg, and pulled hard, bringing the two legs together.

Although the bear cub struggled desperately, Li Yunshi still managed to tie the rope into a tight knot, binding the two bear legs together.

At this moment, Li Yunshan punched the bear cub twice more on the forehead, knocking the cub completely dazed.

While Li Yunshi was at it, with Li Yunshan's help, he tied the bear cub's two front legs with hemp rope.

After tying up all four of the bear cub's legs, Li Yunshan covered the cub's head with his cotton coat. The cub, which had been restless and agitated, gradually calmed down after its head was covered.

"Tear".

Li Yunshan tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and, taking advantage of the bear cub's head being covered and its reluctance to move, used the cloth to wrap around the bear cub's mouth.

Once the cloth strips were tied tightly in a knot, Li Yunshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the cotton coat that had been covering the bear cub's head, and put it back on himself.

"whimper."

Seeing that its limbs were tightly bound, the bear cub struggled a few times but failed to break free, and then let out a whimpering cry.

With his mission accomplished, Li Yunshan was too lazy to bother with the little bear cub anymore.

"Xiao Li, you've got guts! You dared to take on this bear cub with your bare hands and actually managed to subdue it."

Old Liang watched the entire process of Li Yunshan subduing the bear cub from a short distance away, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in praise.

"It was thanks to my older brother's help that I was able to subdue this bear cub so easily. If I had done it myself, I would have had to cripple the bear cub first, which would have been a lot of trouble."

Li Yunshan said modestly.

"In ancient times, there was Wu Song who fought a tiger; now, my brother, you've caught a bear with your bare hands. This will surely become a legendary tale."

Director Zhou couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke.

Although it was only a half-grown bear cub, not an adult bear, Li Yunshan had the courage to deal with it with his bare hands, and with Li Yunshi's assistance, he successfully captured it with his bare hands, which shows how brave Li Yunshan was.

At least, if it were him, Director Zhou wouldn't dare to attack this half-grown bear cub with his bare hands.

"No, no, no, let's not let this get out. I just want to make my fortune quietly."

Li Yunshan quickly waved his hand.

The last time he went to the Hongxing Forest Farm to hunt tigers, although it made the newspaper and made him famous, it also brought him some trouble, which I won't go into detail about.

Even though he and Old Liang had killed a dozen wolves and a bear, Li Yunshan didn't want to be famous anymore.

"Xiao Li, what are you planning to do with this little bear cub?"

At this moment, Old Liang asked.

"Hehe, I was just about to ask you and Director Zhou if you have any connections."

Li Yunshan's eyes lit up when he heard what Elder Liang said.

Although he successfully captured the bear, he really had no way of dealing with it.

Old Liang's question was just like someone bringing him a pillow when he was sleepy; it came at the perfect time.

"If you trust me, I can introduce you to a connection."

"That's what Old Liang said."

"Trustworthy, trustworthy, how could I not trust you?"

Li Yunshan quickly replied that he could tell that Elder Liang was trying to help him, which was why he had asked earlier.

"I have an old friend who is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He has a prescription that requires bear bile to be added to the medicine in order to maximize its efficacy."

"He used to keep a bear at home, but it died of old age earlier this year. If you want to sell it for a good price, I can call my old friend and ask him if he's interested in this bear cub."
