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

Li Yunshan's words were resounding and powerful; he wasn't talking nonsense, but rather stating the truth.

Because there are only a dozen or so hunters in the entire Guapigou Village, and most of the hunting tools they use are shotguns and bird guns.

Uncle Zhou's hunting equipment was a musket, and it was an old one, passed down from his father's generation, and Uncle Zhou had been using it for many years.

Most other hunters use hunting rifles, some are of the "Gongzi" brand and some are of the "Hutou" brand. For example, the old hunter leader uses the "Gongzi" brand hunting rifle.

Of course, some people used bows and arrows, like Brother Zhang San, who used an old-fashioned bow and arrow.

Those are all products of the era of cold weapons.

So, as soon as Li Yunshan said this, a hunter mustered his courage and ran to the dead bear. He examined it carefully and saw a bullet hole in the bear's head. The hunter froze on the spot and exclaimed in astonishment, "Old man, this beast really was shot in the head!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

The old leader was also stunned for a moment, and his gaze towards Li Yunshan became more respectful: "Third brother, thank you for saving me."

"Old foreman, don't be so polite. I saw the village was in such a mess because of that beast. Luckily, I didn't arrive too late. Hehe... otherwise..."

Li Yunshan waved his hand and said.

Actually, when the bear entered the village tonight, he was having a deep conversation with Lin Xiulan at home. The event was only halfway through when he heard the villagers shouting, "The bear has entered the village!"

Adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end, he left home only after he had finished his emotional exchange with Lin Xiulan.

When he arrived at the scene, he happened to see the bear charging towards the old foreman.

Seeing that the old foreman was about to be slapped to death by the bear, he quickly picked up his gun, used his night vision ability, aimed quickly, and fired two bullets.

It was also by divine intervention that the old foreman survived. One of the two bullets pierced the bear's skull, and the other struck the bear's heart—a precise hit just as Li Yunshan had planned.

That's how the old man was saved.

Unfortunately, the old man initially thought that Li Yunshan hadn't killed the bear.

In the old foreman's memory, Li Yunshan was just a street urchin; his hunting of wild boars, deer, and tigers was nothing more than luck.

Only after confirming that the bear that had invaded and wreaked havoc in the village was truly dead did everyone gather around the spot where the bear had fallen, carrying torches and flashlights.

The villagers craned their necks, cautiously approaching, their eyes revealing their fear of the bear—how could they not be afraid? After all, this bear had entered the village twice and caused two deaths; who wouldn't be afraid?

As the villagers slowly approached, they saw a huge bear, as big as a small hill, lying on the ground. Crimson blood flowed from a single orifice on its body, melting the snow and staining a large area of ​​the surrounding land red.

Seeing the enormous bear, many people felt a chill run down their spines, and some even took two steps back, fearing that the beast was feigning death and might suddenly attack.

"Don't be afraid, this bear is dead."

Seeing the villagers' fearful expressions, the old foreman quickly spoke up.

Only then did the villagers feel much more at ease.

"Finally, we killed that beast. Now I can finally sleep peacefully."

"That's right. Ever since that beast came into the village last time, I haven't even dared to go to the foot of the opposite mountain to collect tree branches, for fear of running into that bear."

Some villagers glanced at the bear and couldn't help but complain.

"Li Yunshan, you're something else!"

"After hunting wild boars, we hunted deer, wolves, and even killed a tiger. Now we've killed this bear. What haven't you hunted?"

"We used to think you only knew how to gamble and beat your wife, but we never expected you to be so capable. Now it seems you've learned your lesson and are starting to resemble your father back in the day."

Some villagers also praised him generously.

"You flatter me, uncles and elders."

Li Yunshan smiled modestly, but when he heard the people praising him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

Bears and tigers are the top two most ferocious beasts in Northeast China, and he has already dealt with them both.

Moreover, if it weren't for him, the old foreman would have been killed here just now. If that bear had escaped again, who knows how long it would have continued to wreak havoc on the village.

"Third brother, thank you for saving my father. I'll kowtow to you."

Just as Li Yunshan was feeling smug, the old foreman's son suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed to Li Yunshan.

"Brother Dazhuang, why are you kowtowing to me? Get up, get up, I can't accept this."

Li Yunshan was startled and quickly pulled the person up.

Dazhuang said gratefully, "Third brother, it's what I should do. You saved my father. If you hadn't stepped in and killed that beast, my father... my father would probably be in grave danger. What would my mother do if my father were gone!"

"Well... it was nothing, just a small favor."

Li Yunshan scratched the back of his head and said.

"Everyone, stop staring at this bear! Let's all lend a hand and get it to Li Yunshan's house."

At this moment, the old foreman gave instructions to everyone.

"Alright, I'll go find an oxcart and take this bear back to Li Yunshan's house."

After one of the hunters finished speaking, he went to the village to find an oxcart.

Soon, the oxcart arrived.

However, when the old ox pulling the cart saw the bear that was already dead, it was so frightened that it turned around and ran away.

If it weren't for the hunter who came to fetch the oxcart and grabbed the rope quickly, the old ox pulling the cart would definitely have gone on strike.

"Everyone, quickly lend a hand and lift this beast up."

Then, some people held the ox rope to prevent the old ox from escaping, while several other strong young men worked together to lift the bear onto the oxcart.

The oxcart wheels made a low creaking sound, and even the strong young men who had just lifted the bear onto the oxcart were starting to worry whether the oxcart could withstand the load.

Because this bear was just too big.

After loading the bear onto the oxcart, the group drove the oxcart towards Li Yunshan's house.

"The men, women, and children of Guapigou Village, including Xiong Xiazi, have all been killed. It was Li Yunshan who killed him."

"Clang! Clang!"

"Guapigou Village..."

I don't know who it was, but they actually got a gong, held it in their hand, shouted, and then struck the gong once.

The sounds of gongs and shouts carried far into the quiet night.

But no one stopped it.

Because the bear has been killed, this is a great joy. From now on, we won't have to worry about the bear hurting us when we go to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood during the day or when we sleep at night.

"What? The bear was killed?"

"Am I hearing things? Did I hear wrong? Was the bear killed? Who killed the bear?"

"It seems...it's said to be Li Yunshan?"

"Li Yunshan? Really?"

In the darkness, the villagers, who were trembling in their homes because the bear had once again entered the village, were all startled when they heard the shouts and the sound of gongs.

But then, everyone's faces showed a look of relief.

The bear has finally been killed!

A while ago, when the bear entered the village, it resulted in one death and one injury. The injured villager is still in the hospital, while the villager killed by the bear has already been buried.

A single bear entering a village caused the destruction of a family; no one would want such a tragedy to befall them.

That night, after the bear escaped, it didn't return to the village for several days, and everyone assumed that what happened a few days ago was just a coincidence.

But who would have thought that the bear would come again tonight?

Fortunately, the bear that entered the village tonight didn't get away and was killed.

"Let's go take a look at that bear."

"Okay, get dressed, let's go."

Many villagers share this sentiment.

Immediately afterwards, lights were turned on in almost every household in Guapigou Village. Villagers put on cotton-padded coats and hats, and carried torches, candles, flashlights, or miner's lamps, trudging through the snow towards Li Yunshan's house.

"Why are there so many people?"

Huang Zhifang, also carrying a flashlight, arrived at Li Yunshan's house with Li Yunshi's help.

Wang Xiaolian also came with her two children.

A few days ago, a bear entered the village. Li Yunshi was worried that there wouldn't be a man at home, so he was out early and back late every day.

When someone in the village called for the bear to come into the village, he was fast asleep.

By the time he finished dressing, grabbed his hunting rifle, and prepared to go out and ambush the bears, the bears had already been killed. He also heard the villagers banging gongs and drums and shouting.

Because he was worried about Li Yunshan, Huang Zhifang asked him to accompany him to Li Yunshan's house to check on him.

As a result, when they arrived at Li Yunshan's house, they saw that the courtyard and surrounding area were already surrounded by layers upon layers of people, a huge crowd gathered there to join in the fun.

"With so many people, will the third brother be alright?" Huang Zhifang asked worriedly.

"Excuse me, everyone, please make way so we can get in for a moment."

Seeing Huang Zhifang's worried expression, Li Yunshi had no choice but to pull her along, calling out to her as he squeezed her into the courtyard.

When the villagers who were watching the commotion saw that it was Li Yunshi and Huang Zhifang, they instinctively made way for them.

With the villagers making way for them, Li Yunshi and his group quickly squeezed into the courtyard.

At this moment, the courtyard of Li Yunshan's house was brightly lit, and all the villagers, young and old, had gathered there. Everyone's eyes were on the center of the courtyard, where the bear that had entered the village and injured people was placed.

"Tsk tsk, this bear is so big, I'd estimate it weighs at least six or seven hundred pounds!"

"I think it's more than that, at least 800 pounds or more."

"Luckily, it was Li Laosan who killed the bear, which saved the hunter's life. Otherwise, the bear would have killed another person."

"What a pity, Zhou Hai was a perfectly healthy person, and he's gone just like that, killed by that bear."
