Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Li Long was startled when he heard the noise. He immediately jumped off his horse, led No. 76 to the side, tied the reins to a tree beside him, took out his No. 56 semi-automatic rifle, bent down and reached into the depths of the valley.

Before reaching the pool, Li Long saw a male roe deer with horns on its head kicking the water. Then it lowered its head to look for something in the water, and then ate something into its mouth.

Then the roe deer turned around and saw Li Long.

When it was stunned for a moment, Li Long raised his gun, and just as Li Long tried to aim, the roe deer turned around and ran away. Li Long only had time to fire once, and saw blood splattered on the roe deer's shoulder - very close, almost broken, it should have just pierced some flesh, a minor injury.

The roe deer screamed and ran towards the nearby woods at a faster speed. Li Long followed suit.

At this time, he no longer thought about No. 76. The most important thing was to catch up with this roe deer!
The roe deer did not run deep into the forest. Instead, it ran up along the edge of the mountain. Perhaps it was worried that the forest was too dense and would slow it down. It did not run very fast. Every time it exerted force, blood would gush out from the wound on its shoulder and its movements would slow down. This was why Li Long dared to chase it - if it was an intact roe deer, Li Long would have turned around and given up - he would definitely not be able to catch up with it.

But every time he got close and stopped to shoot, the roe deer would run away into the woods. It was obviously a smart creature!
After running and chasing, Li Long soon chased this guy to the end of the valley. There was a relic of a dead volcano there. There was no grass growing among the rocks. The roe deer jumped into the pile of rocks and ran to the southeast.

Li Long once chased a small wild boar here, but the wild boar ran towards the southwest. This large pile of rocks covered a wide area, so Li Long slowed down his movements to prevent himself from being stabbed by the rocks. The roe deer also slowed down its movements because the rocks had no regular pattern, making its path forward complicated.

"Bang! Bang!"

After running forward a few hundred meters, Li Long finally found an opportunity. He raised his gun and shot at the roe deer. After two consecutive shots, the roe deer finally fell under the gun.

Li Long breathed a sigh of relief, finally his trip was not in vain.

He calculated that he had run about one and a half kilometers. The road was not very far, but it was up and down, and it was almost all uphill. The altitude here was almost two thousand meters. Although he did not have altitude sickness, it was still uncomfortable.

After resting for a while, Li Long slowly walked towards the place where the roe deer fell.

The stones in front were even more chaotic. Some were sharp like ice spikes, some were square and round in irregular shapes, and some were staggered and stuck up. Not far in front of where the roe deer fell, there was a pile of strangely shaped stones that looked like the Sydney Opera House.

The rocks look like they were created when two plates pushed together during the orogenic movement, causing excessive force and pushing the rocks in the middle up and against each other.

It is a natural arched building, the stone is three or four meters high, and there seems to be a cave underneath.

Li Long first looked at the roe deer, which was dead. He came to the "opera house" with his gun in hand. If he had a cell phone or camera, he could take a picture here. It was definitely a great view.

Unfortunately not.

But to be honest, such a stone can really become a tourist attraction. Then he lowered his head and looked at the natural cave under the stone.

This cave is different from the other cave with rock salt. The opening here is relatively wide, but just like the eight-shaped door at the entrance of the government office in the past, the opening is wide, but you can see at a glance that the space inside is very small, shrinking into a crack in the stone.

Out of habit, wondering if there might be something good inside, Li Long hesitated for a moment and walked in with his gun in hand.

The crevice is said to be narrow, but in fact it is only about one meter wide, barely enough for two people to enter. However, the space becomes smaller as you go in, and it is not straight, so it feels like you are walking downwards.

This space was sealed and did not have any other ventilation holes. Less than a meter after entering, Li Long smelled a strong fishy odor!
There is something in here—or rather, there was something in here!

Li Long immediately gripped the gun tightly and looked inside carefully.

It was very dark inside, and the further in you went, the darker the view became. Just when Li Long was about to turn around, he heard a slight breathing sound!

Li Long was about to pull the trigger almost subconsciously!
But then he felt that the breathing sound did not seem very heavy, but very long.

Are there animals hibernating?

Li Long continued to observe carefully. After a while, he got used to the light inside. Li Long saw that there was a stone wall in front of him, which meant that the passage turned a corner.

Li Long hesitated.

If it is a straight road and there is something hibernating inside, just shoot it and quickly retreat.

Now we're at a turning point. If I shoot that thing and it doesn't come out, or it only comes out halfway and doesn't move forward or backward, then aren't I just wasting my time?

To fight or not to fight?
This was the first time Li Long encountered this thing and he was a little confused. He had never done this before!

But he thought about it and finally decided to fight.

I took a deep breath, and walked slowly and carefully. When I reached the corner, I stopped, looked inside, and felt that the hole was less than three meters deep inside the corner.

And the hibernating guy is inside.

It is hard to see exactly what it is, but Li Long guessed that the only animal that can hibernate is most likely a bear!

It’s a bit exciting to think about it - I’ve seen bears from a distance at the hot springs before, but I’ve never beaten one. Now it’s possible for me to beat one, how can I not be excited?

Because it turned right, it was difficult for Li Long to aim, so he turned halfway, with his left foot pointing to the bottom of the cave and his right foot pointing outward. He planned to run out after firing a shot.

If that guy comes out, find a place to cover yourself and continue shooting.

He shouldn't be caught, right?

Li Long thought it was inappropriate and stepped out.

After leaving the "Grand Theater", Li Long looked around and found a rock about five or six meters away that he thought would be a good place to serve as a cover. He then replayed the route he had taken in his mind before walking back in.

Li Long walked very slowly and nervously. After all, this thing was not the same thing he had fought before. Even if he had come into close contact with a wolf before, it was only about the same size as a dog. After fighting so many times, Li Long felt that if he had a stick, he would definitely not be inferior to it.

But this thing is different. Even if you are given a machete or an axe, let alone a stick, you can't guarantee a win if you face this thing.

Eighty percent chance of failure.

So he was nervous. Fortunately, when he turned the corner, the bear-like animal did not wake up and was still snoring.

Li Long stood as planned, aimed his gun inside, steadied his breath, and shot the guy in the stomach!
In the past, I had always shot in the wilderness, so I didn’t feel how loud the gunshots were. But now, even with a hat on, I could feel how damn loud the gunshots echoing in the small space were!

While complaining in his heart, Li Long put away his gun and ran out, and then he also heard the roar of that thing!
Wake up!

What Li Long was most worried about was that he would shoot this thing to death, and then it would die in the crevice of the rock and it would be difficult to pull it out.

After all, this thing must weigh at least 100 kilograms, right? It might be much bigger. There is a corner in the hole, so it would be difficult to pull it out by myself.

After Li Long ran out, he rushed to the back of a triangular stone according to the predetermined plan. There were several irregular gaps on the stone, one of which was right at Li Long's chest. He bent down and put the gun here, pulled out the bayonet, aimed at the hole, and waited for the bear to come out.

His breathing was rapid and the gun was swaying slightly due to his breathing. Although Li Long wanted to calm himself down, how could he calm down all of a sudden when facing such a ferocious beast?
Roars could be heard from the cave from time to time, and it was obvious that the bear was in pain. However, Li Long was happy that the bear was not dead. The next step was to wait for the moment of hunting.

However, after waiting for several minutes, the bear did not come out. He became a little anxious. Could it be that the bear was timid and did not dare to come out?

He looked around, stretched out his feet to dig in the snow, then found a fist-sized stone and threw it into the cave.

It was not thrown well and hit the edge of the eight-shaped door instead of entering the small hole. However, it did make a noise and the bear roared louder when it heard the noise.

Li Long gained confidence and dug out another stone from the snow. After taking aim, he smashed it hard.

This time the stone hit the cave accurately, hit the wall and rolled inside a few times. The bear's roar became louder and it was obviously getting closer.

Obviously, the bear took the stone throwing as a provocation, and it wanted to deal with the guy who dared to provoke it!
Then Li Long saw a hairy creature rushing out of the hole—it really rushed out, not squeezed out!
He was much smaller than Li Long had expected, less than two meters tall, and seemed even shorter than Li Long. He was quite fat, with a wound below his chest that was bleeding.

Brown bear! The brown bear was not very tall. It looked around when it came out, but before it finished looking, it saw Li Long, then roared at Li Long and rushed over!

"Bang bang bang!"

Although Li Long was observing, his hand did not leave the trigger after throwing the stone. He fired directly, and three shots hit the bear, two on the body and one on the head. The bear was shot in the vital parts, but it suddenly pounced in front of the stone. Li Long dodged around the stone and fired two more shots at the bear's open mouth!
He could almost smell the stench coming out of the bear's mouth, and he could also clearly see the brown bear's angry and red eyes!

After these two shots, the brown bear could no longer hold on and fell backwards.

Li Long did not dare to move forward immediately. He took two steps back, put some distance between himself and the bear, and fired two shots at the bear's head.

It's okay to waste bullets, but this bear's vitality is too strong. It was hit by so many bullets and still almost pounced on me. I have to be careful!
The bear didn't move. The bullet hit its head, splattering blood and brains.

It’s a bit of a waste... Li Long didn’t know why, but this thought popped up in his mind at this moment.

After confirming that the bear was dead, Li Long immediately stepped forward with a gun. Even though he was sure the bear was dead, he still held the gun and bayonet in fear that the bear would come back to life.

Fortunately, it was impossible for the bear to resurrect. Blood was all over the ground and the bear was motionless. Li Long finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time it was confirmed that the bear was dead.

So what to do next?
Li Long wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. In fact, his back was also covered with cold sweat - when the bear pounced on him just now, the open mouth and the waving paws with long and sharp claws made Li Long feel that he was so close to death!

This immediately made him forget what to do after the bear died.

Ten seconds later, Li Long realized that he should open the bear's stomach and take out the most valuable bear bile. Thanks to the short videos and novels he watched in his previous life, he knew that the first thing he should do was to take out the bear bile, otherwise it would be gone soon.

After putting the gun aside, Li Long pulled out the knife he carried with him and stabbed the bear in the belly.

The brown bear didn't look big, but it had a lot of fat on its belly. The knife was very sharp, and after cutting the bear's skin, thick layers of yellowish-white fat were exposed.

Going further in and cutting open the belly, a foul smell hit me in the face.

Even though he had disemboweled many animals, Li Long couldn't help but turn his head away. The smell was really unpleasant.

When the anger died down, he turned around again, made a larger cut on the bear's belly, trying not to injure the internal organs, and then reached in to dig.

The gallbladder grows on the liver, and you can find the gallbladder by pulling the liver.

This green gall was slightly larger than an ordinary egg. Li Long carefully cut off the gall bladder along with the bile duct with a knife, then searched his bag, but couldn't find anything suitable. So he simply reached into his clothes and cut off a large piece from his autumn clothes, wrapped the gall bladder with it, and put it in his bag for processing when he got back.

Next, he was a little confused, and then he realized that the most valuable thing left of the bear should be the bear paw, and he didn't know much about the other things. He probably had to ask Chen Hongjun, or directly ask Li Xiangqian, whether his leader wanted this thing.

The most important thing to do right now is to drag the bear back.

Although the bear looks to weigh more than 100 kilograms but less than 200 kilograms, there is a roe deer behind it.

The terrain here is high, and No. 76 probably can't come down, so Li Long can only find a way out on his own.

He first stood up and looked around, trying to find a place without rocks, drag the bear and roe deer down the mountain with plastic sheeting, then turn to No. 76 and use No. 76 to pull the two goods back.

Anyway, the bear's stomach has been opened and the heat has been released, so there is no need to worry about the stink. All that remains is to go back and deal with it slowly.

Just this courage, it can be sold for at least 500 yuan, right? Li Long thought happily.

After all, it is rare to hunt bears in the Tianshan Mountains. For example, Halimu and his men can hunt snow leopards, but I have never heard of them hunting bears.

It’s just that the bear is a little small, which makes Li Long a little dissatisfied.

The bear that I once saw on the Duku Highway in a video was huge, two or three meters tall, much taller than the police officers in the past. The flesh on its body was like waves. That's what a brown bear is, okay?
Is this a juvenile?

Li Long thought so, but he did not hesitate. He picked up his gun and went over to pull the roe deer over. After opening the belly, he did not move anything. He would deal with the internal organs when he got back. They wanted the whole body, no need to skin it.

After deciding on the route, he laid out the plastic sheet and with great difficulty turned the bear over and rolled it onto the sheet.

Just turning over took up almost all of his strength - the bear's body had not yet stiffened after death. He lifted up its head, but its body did not move. He lifted up its body, but its legs did not move - it was dead heavy, that's what it meant.

It's not a whole anymore.

Now Li Long feels that this bear is just the right size. If it were any bigger, he really wouldn’t be able to get it back, and he might just have to cut off its four legs and drag it back.

After a short rest, he put the roe deer on the bear again, then gathered the two corners of the plastic sheet and pulled it down with his gun on his back.

Can't pull it.

I didn't dare use too much force, for fear that I would tear the plastic sheet if I pulled it too hard, so I could only use my skill.

Li Long could only tighten the two corners in his hands, pull them a little harder, and hold more plastic cloth in his hands so that the force would be greater.

The plastic sheet moved with difficulty, but Li Long loosened his grip. He stepped forward and used his gloved hands to scrape the snow from under the plastic sheet to make it thinner so that it would be more easily supported.

Pulling the plastic sheet again, Li Long barely pulled the heavy object and went down to the northeast - there were no stones on the snow surface there, so the plastic sheet should not be torn. He would also need to turn to go down, so this would test Li Long's control ability.

As long as you pull it, the rest will be easy. As he was pulling, he thought of a novel, "Xue Gang's Rebellion against the Tang Dynasty". It seemed that Xue Gang was also like this when he was pulling the iron cart at the beginning. It was very difficult to pull it, but once it was pulled, inertia was formed, and then it was pulled faster and faster, and it became more and more handy.

Is this what I am like now?

But he thought to himself that there was a big downhill slope next, and the things on the plastic sheet were sliding down faster and faster, even faster than Li Long intended. He hurriedly changed direction, pulling the plastic sheet diagonally to prevent it from sliding down faster and faster and eventually overturning the "car".

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly controlled the sliding speed of the plastic sheet, then turned according to his planned route.

It's better that there are no trees in this area. After passing halfway up the mountain, we will enter a pine forest. Li Long is a little troubled.

He had to put down the plastic sheet, explore the front first, find a suitable route, and then drag the plastic sheet forward.

Otherwise, if you rashly enter a road that looks like there are no trees, and when you get there you find that there is no road ahead, it will be much more troublesome to drag yourself up at that time.

Fortunately, although this is a pine forest, the trees are not very dense, and there are always some gaps that allow Li Long to pass through uncomfortably.

By the time Li Long dragged the bear carcass wrapped in plastic sheeting to No. 76, he was already exhausted.

There was still water on the bear's body, which had now frozen.

Fortunately, it is winter now. If it were summer, the place would probably be full of flies.

Fortunately, nothing happened to No. 76. When Li Long appeared, it even snorted to welcome its master's return.

But after smelling the bear, No. 76 became visibly agitated and tried to break free from the reins and leave several times.

Li Long had to go forward to comfort it, and it took a while to calm it down.

Next, take the rope, tie it to the plastic sheet, then tie the bear and roe deer together, wrapping them with the back two corners of the plastic sheet so that the bear will not fall off while moving.

All that was left was to lead the horse back.

Finally, I feel relieved! (End of this chapter)
