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

Chapter 171 Confession

The mother bear finally recognized Erhan’s unique way of “confession”.

He let down his guard towards the young bear in front of him, lying on his side, and even revealing the bear cub in his arms.

"Roar~ Roar~" the mother bear howled weakly.

Seeing the unexpected situation, the black wolf not far away hurriedly hid behind the snow slope again, using its fur as cover, and a shrewd look suddenly flashed in its eyes.

Feeling the other person's sadness and helplessness, Erhan blinked his eyes, lowered his head, and kept twitching his nose, hesitating and not daring to move forward;
It wasn't because it was scared by the previous slaps.

But because it clearly remembers,

Last time, the other party hurried away after hearing the howling of the bear cub. It understood the feelings between the mother bear and the bear cub.

Now the cub is with the mother bear.

Almost out of instinct, Erhan deliberately kept a certain distance from the mother bear.

And after sniffing and observing, it had a general understanding of the mother bear's situation;
There were multiple wounds on his body.

These wounds seemed completely different from those it had seen before, except for the wound on its shoulder that looked somewhat familiar.

But it had never seen the densely packed small holes on the waist, hips and hind legs.

Just by the smell of gunpowder remaining around the wounds, Erhan was able to determine that these were gunshot wounds.

The mother bear was already very weak, even her breathing became rapid and shallow.

The little bear cub in its arms had already died.

Erhan pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking about. His mind was a little distracted until the mother bear howled weakly, and then he reacted.

He shook his head and grunted twice, then ran into the depths of the woods.

Although he had practiced it once, Erhan still felt a little unsure.

Moreover, given the size of the mother bear, it is not certain whether she can find enough hammers.

But at this moment, it has no choice but to pin all its hopes on it.

Thinking of this, Erhan ran to the clearing in the forest.

A black wolf also arrived with it.

As soon as he arrived, Black Wolf smelled a strong and familiar smell all around him.

Thinking back to the food that the little bear fed to the mother wolf yesterday, it quickly understood the other party's intention and hurriedly imitated the little bear to dig the frozen soil.

But if it were summer or autumn, Black Wolf might have some gains.
But faced with the frozen and hard ground, Black Wolf dug until his nails were broken, but he still couldn't dig out a single whisker.

In the end, it was only thanks to Erhan's hard work and non-stop digging that he was able to collect five broken hammers.

The black wolf helped to hold two of them and followed Erhan's big butt all the way back to Bald Mountain.

When passing by the white deer, it did not forget to order the wolves to eat up the deer and return to the warehouse in time.

When he arrived at the mother bear's vicinity, Erhan had already placed the mallet in front of the mother bear.

Black Wolf hesitated.

It doesn't have a strong body like Erhan. If it is attacked by a mother bear, it will most likely die here.
So he put the club down on the spot, called Erhan, and brought it to the mother bear.

Looking at the eager young bear in front of her, the mother bear sniffed the mallet on the ground, and seemed to feel its effect. She ate it without hesitation. After a while, she hugged the cub tightly in her arms, and her breathing became smooth and heavy again.

"Woo~Woo~" The black wolf didn't dare to get close, reminding the people behind him that the hammer had taken effect.

"Hello~"

Erhan responded with a cry, and he seemed to be very distressed. He sat down on the snow, wrinkled his little bear face, and looked at the dense bullet holes on the mother bear's body with a bitter look;
There were too many wounds and too much blood loss, far more than what happened to the wolf mother yesterday.

So now that the mother bear had fallen asleep, Erhan, whose mind had calmed down, became more worried about whether the mother bear would wake up like the mother wolf.

How to save the mother bear?

What if the mallet doesn’t work?

Erhan seemed to have thought of something, but was extremely conflicted. He sat firmly in the snow, sighing continuously.

The black wolf looked worried and bravely wanted to go forward to "comfort" the little bear, but the little bear suddenly stood up, pouted his lips, his two little eyes flashed with determination, and ran out of the woods with his four paws flying.

It didn't return to the empty space just now.

It certainly didn't go back to its own tree nest.

This is the direction of the village at the foot of the mountain.

It's going to go find that human for help!
Black Wolf felt that it was too risky, so he followed the little bear closely all the way to the outside of Tuanjietun. Looking at the wooden gate and the raised wall, even though he was worried that the little bear would get into trouble, Black Wolf let out a sigh that contained both relief and helplessness.

But Erhan, who was hoping Dai Song would come out to help, didn't think so.
It didn't completely forget Dai Song's words.
Instead of trying to break open the door or climb the wall, Banban just sat in the snow;

He didn't make any noise or fight, but would sniff from time to time to smell the scent of Dai Song in the wind coming out of the village.

However, this method was too inefficient on an almost windless night. Moreover, with the high walls blocking their way, by the time Erhan finally smelled Dai Song's scent and risked being attacked by calling out "ang ang", Dai Song, who was inside the village, had often already led his men deep into the village.

Such a night, passing by, missing, passing by again, missing again and again...

At daybreak, Dai Song, who had just finished his last round of patrolling the villages, stretched his shoulders and walked out of the village headquarters.

He had to hurry back to sleep as he had to go hunting wild boars with his uncle in the afternoon.

After only a few steps, he was surrounded by a group of noisy old women.
"Songzi! Songzi! Go to the entrance of the village quickly!"

"It's at the entrance of the village! They are both lying at the entrance of the village! I don't know what happened!"

"Songzi, go quickly! We don't have the guts!" Dai Song was confused. "Speak slowly, what's going on?"

"I'll do it!" An old woman pushed aside the old sister who was about to speak, "It's that little bear! And the Black Wolf Immortal!
We saw them lying side by side in the snow!
My body is all frozen!

I’m afraid he’s dead!!”

For a moment, it was as if a thunder had passed through Dai Song's mind.

He pushed through the crowd with an expressionless face and rushed towards the entrance of the village.

Liu Laoliu just came out to empty the chamber pot, and seeing that he seemed to be about to open the door, he hurried forward to help.
"What's wrong, Songzi? Where are you going so early in the morning? It's not safe to be alone. Do you want to call a few more people?"

Seeing Dai Song didn't say anything, Liu Laoliu also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly increased the strength in his hands.
As soon as the wooden door was opened a crack, Dai Song slipped out.

Liu Laoliu was curious and also stuck his head out. He took a look and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Lying on the snow in the distance were the black wolf and the little bear.

But their surfaces are no longer shiny and slippery, but are covered with a large amount of ice debris.

"Matsuko, why don't you come back first? Don't be so reckless!"

Liu Laoliu didn't know what Dai Song was thinking, but as he watched Dai Song move forward step by step, he subconsciously reminded him.

Dai Song suddenly raised his hand and hooked his finger, "Old Liu, come and see!"

"No way..." Liu Laoliu felt a dull pain in his buttocks, "I can see clearly from inside."

"Did you see the little bear ears move just now?"

"Uh..." Liu Laoliu tried to recall, "Well... it seems..."

"Then I'm right!" Dai Song immediately got back in and ran into the old woman who was chasing him.

"What's wrong, Songzi? You can't be dead!"

"What are you talking about, Matsuko!"

"It's okay." Dai Song stretched out his hand and made up an excuse, "I guess I'm just hungry, and I'm going to Shangtunkou to get food.

I'm going to find the village chief now and ask him to help me pull the two wild boars out. You guys quickly close the door, don't make any noise, and don't provoke them. If you piss them off, you won't be able to find anyone to settle the matter now."

"No, no! We'll help you drag the wild boar too!"

"Yes, yes! I'll go too!"

"Let's go! Everyone, don't stay at the entrance of the village. Don't disturb them. Follow Songzi's instructions!"

A group of people followed Dai Song back to the village headquarters with a lot of noise.

When Dai Song saw Qi Shunli, he briefly explained the situation. Qi Shunli's eyes widened immediately.
"Songzi, how about dragging two more this time?

Didn’t we say last time that we shouldn’t let them develop the habit of coming to the village to ask for food whenever they have nothing to do?
What should I do now? "

Dai Song frowned, thinking that Qi Shunli was really "Ye Gong who loves dragons" and replied,

"Just drag one wild boar, no more. If you drag more, it will only encourage them to come to your house and ask for food."

Qi Shunli nodded, but then hesitated again.

"Don't embarrass Captain Qi." Dai Song saw the other party's concerns, "No need to call Uncle Wang, is there a sled in the village? I'll pick a smaller one and use it to drag the wild boar into the mountains."

"Songzi! Forget it, let's just throw the wild boar out of the village. It'll be safer this way!"

"If we do this, the bear man and the black wolf might try to climb over the wall or the door next time. Besides, we have a meeting the day after tomorrow, and if they block the door then..."

Qi Shunli's face suddenly turned ugly;

I finally got the opportunity to attend a meeting in Tuanjietun, and planned to show off the achievements of Tuanjietun in front of other village heads. If I encounter this situation that day, wouldn't I be slapped in the face?
Moreover, slapping someone in the face is only secondary. He also needs to try to push each forestry team to abide by the old rules of the forest farm and observe and identify the murderer who targeted Tuanjietun.

What if we encounter such a mess? What about the whole world?
But, letting Songzi go into the mountains alone, facing the bear man and the black wolf, dragging the sled, what's the difference between this and sending him to his death?
Qi Shunli weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally slapped his thigh and took the risk.

"Songzi, I'll pull the sled with you! Let's go into the mountains together!"

"And me!"

Wang Tu Douzi also came running over when he heard the news.
He untied the scarf wrapped around his head, took out the "car key" from his waist and shook it.

"Let's go! Uncle Wang will help you!
Lao Qi, why are you trembling? At worst, it will be glorious! "

Dai Song went over the process in his mind, prepared an emergency plan, and then agreed to Wang Tu Douzi's suggestion and got on the tractor to go to the new yard.

After picking the wild boar, he went back home while everyone was moving it onto the tractor.

The family members were still asleep, except Nan Chunwan, who was cooking porridge by the stove. Seeing Dai Song coming back, she hurried over and gently helped Dai Song take off his coat.

"Breakfast will be ready soon, and the kang is warm. Eat more and have a good rest. I'll call you when my uncle comes in the afternoon~"

"No need~"

Dai Song looked apologetic and whispered what he was going to do, causing Nan Chunwan's face to change color instantly.

"That won't do! Brother Song, don't go! I don't want you to go!"

This was the first time that Nan Chunwan showed such a tough attitude, and Dai Song couldn't help but hug his young wife in his arms.
"Xiao Wan, don't worry~"

Feeling the anxiety of his young wife in his arms, he thought for two seconds, and finally made up his mind, and whispered in her ear,
"Xiao Wan, that man-bear won't hurt me. I actually raised it in the mountains."
