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

Chapter 93: Searching for the Pig God Again
"A large group of wild boars?" Jiang Haohan was stunned, recalling the number requirements for wild boars in specimen missions in previous years.

"Yes! Uncle, I will probably have to trouble you again later."

"What? Songzi, tell me!"

"There's a whole herd of wild boars that my brothers can't carry away.

When the time comes, please lend me the forest farm's big truck!"

"Sure!" Jiang Haohan slapped his thigh, his face full of excitement, "Songzi! Now that you mention it, I remember that wild boars were indispensable for specimen collection every year. Last year, the farm set a target of 50 wild boars, and this year it is estimated to be about the same.

Songzi, are there so many pigs among the herd you found?
If not, I will just call fewer people. At worst, we guys can just move it a few more times.

And you don’t have to worry about having no place to put it, the two yards are adjacent, if you feel comfortable, you can put it in your new yard, just let your neighbors know in advance.”

"Yes! We can definitely have 50 heads. Let me do it first, uncle. I'll contact you when I'm done and we'll decide then."

"Okay! Then I'll go back!"

"OK!"

……

The next morning, it was pitch black.

Dai Song climbed up from the kang in the dark. Today he was going to deal with the pig god.

Nan Chunwan, who was beside him, was awakened by the noise of Dai Song putting on his clothes.

She raised her head and said in a soft voice, "What's wrong~"

"We have an appointment to install a few more condoms today, so we have to leave early."

"Oh~ Be careful~"

"Yeah." Dai Song felt warm in his heart, put on his clothes, turned around and kissed Nan Chunwan on the forehead, "Don't worry, I'll heat up the food in the pot, you can rest for a while."

"Yeah~"

It was pitch black all around, but Nan Chunwan still pulled up the quilt and hid her little face inside it.

It was not until she heard Dai Song walk out and close the door that she poked her little face out, turned over, and checked her daughter's quilt with a happy look on her face.

Dai Song was busy in the main room for a while, carefully checking the Type 56 twice.

After confirming that the gun was fine, he began to load bullets into the clip.

Although the 56 semi-automatic rifle has a magazine, loading bullets is not done by replacing the magazine, but by a clip.

This thing is very simple, a thin, flat strip in an arc shape, which can hold bullets side by side.

When you want to load bullets, just pull the bolt, insert one end into the slot on the chamber, hold the bullet and push it in, and all the bullets will be pressed into the magazine below. This is much more efficient than loading them manually one by one.

Such a clip can hold ten rounds completely, which is commonly known as a group.

And my uncle is really generous.

He just asked for help to get some bullets, but didn't say how many. Without saying a word, my uncle got him 300 rounds!
Dai Song smiled as he loaded all six included clips with bullets, put a handful of bullets into his pocket, walked around the yard, and after making sure there were no problems, he carried his two guns and walked out of the house with his equipment.

I skied all the way to the foot of Gouzi Mountain, and the sky was just turning gray and blue.

There was silence in the mountains. The endless white snow reflected the faint light from the sky, making the whole mountain look more like a ditch than ever before.

Thanks to the good weather a few days ago,
The snow on the surface was melted and then frozen, forming a layer of snow shell that reflected the light on the snow surface.

Dai Song was skiing on the surface very quickly.

If you bring the flower mushrooms from home, their weight will definitely make it easy to walk on them.

The snow piled on the treetops fell down and broke into pieces.

Icicles hung on many branches, some pure white, some crystal clear.

Dai Song didn't read much, so he couldn't figure out why this was the case.
He just glanced around and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He shook the 56 pistol off his shoulder and took out a bullet from his pocket.

Pull the bolt and load the gun.

The slightly astringent feeling of pulling the bolt dispelled the last trace of sleepiness in Dai Song's body.

Put a gun to his face.

In Jun's mind, there was an old crow squatting on a treetop, sleeping soundly.

boom--

A blood mist was spreading over the branches.

Then there seemed to be rustling sounds coming from all around.

Looking at the ice spikes around him that were shaken off by the gunfire, Dai Song smiled.

When they arrived at Erhan’s tree nest, Dai Song picked up an old wooden stick and knocked on the tree three times, “bang bang bang”.

"Erhan! Come down!"

The only response to Dai Song was the drifting mountain breeze.

"Stupid!"

Dai Song shouted again and knocked three more times.

Still Erhan was slow to respond.

what's going on?
He climbed up the tree with doubts.

Because of the cold weather, the tree became extremely difficult to climb. Dai Song finally climbed to the entrance of the cave. He looked into the cave in the dim light and saw Erhan sleeping with his butt facing up with his tongue sticking out. At first glance, he thought he had farted.

It spread its hind legs, as if completely unaware of the cold, and let the cold wind blow on its fur.

Dai Song snapped his fingers and Erhan suddenly woke up in pain.

The two misty little eyes blinked for a long time, and finally heard Dai Song's voice and smelled Dai Song's scent, then they turned around in the cave with difficulty.

Dai Song quickly slid down the tree, wondering when he would make more space inside for Erhan. Then he saw Erhan clinging to the tree and trembling as he came down from it.

"Erhan, why are you still sleeping..."

He wanted to say something to Erhan, but he saw it swaying its body, sitting listlessly in front of him, and burying its head in his arms.

“Puff~Hoo——”

Erhan's sigh warmed Dai Song's embrace.
But Dai Song didn't feel any warmth at all. Instead, he felt his heart suddenly turn cold.

"Erhan." Dai Song grabbed Erhan's cheeks and pulled his drooping little head up.

Wow, there is eye mucus all around the two little eyes!

No wonder I couldn’t recognize myself even when I was so close to me just now. It’s almost blurry, there must be something fishy if I could see it.

Dai Song didn't mind the dirtiness, so he rubbed some snow into a paste and slowly cleaned up the mess for Er Han.

"Erhan, do you still remember?"

Erhan just moved his lips.

Dai Song frowned when he saw this, and he felt like dying in his heart;

The word "lust" is like a knife hanging over your head, and the idiot with the knife is covered with bruises and scars, and he can't even pout his lips? !

"Hey, silly..." Dai Song racked his brains, but couldn't think of a suitable way to comfort him, so he could only say, "Let's go out hunting?"

"Huh..." Erhan pushed himself up with his hind legs and stood up from the snow.

Dai Song saw that although it looked listless, it at least still knew how to go hunting, so he decided to find an opportunity to comfort it on the way.

Anyway, he remembered it very clearly. When he and Dai Bai were beaten badly by Jiang Weiqun when they were young, the two brothers would stroll around in circles along the roads in the village. Basically, they would feel better after walking three circles.

just.

He underestimated Erhan's inner trauma.

The man and the bear took the same route they took to Xiazhutun to clear out the black bears last time. The sun gradually rose.
In order to arouse Erhan's mood, Dai Song broke off a big and beautiful icicle for it. When the rising sun shone on it, seven colors of light could be seen on the snow.

If it were any other time, the little boy would definitely rush over with his eyes shining, yelling that he wanted it.
But now, Erhan is like an old monk.
He followed beside me with his head down, without any reaction.

The icicles gradually melted, and the man and the bear arrived at the old forest outside Xiazhutun.

Dai Song found a sufficiently sheltered leeward slope for Erhan and thrust a half-melted icicle into the snow in front of it.
Looking at the listless Erhan, he said earnestly, "Erhan, you stay here and wait for me, okay? This place is not like Gouzi Mountain, you better cheer up."

"Huh~" Erhan raised his head, looking more energetic than when he first came out, but overall he still looked miserable and full of hatred.

Dai Song patted Erhan's head and quickly headed towards Xiazhutun.

He was confident in the place he had found, and besides, it wouldn't take much time to go back and forth if he walked quickly.
It was still early, less than six o'clock, and Dai Song entered through the main gate of Xiazhutun. There was no one along the way, and there would be no hunters from other villages coming to the gate of Xiazhutun so early to hunt.

Li Pao was lazily stretching his muscles in the yard. When he saw Dai Song entering the yard fully armed with two guns on his back, the old man immediately perked up. It only took him five minutes to get dressed and follow Dai Song into the woods outside the village.

"Li Pao, have you taken the medicine?" Dai Song felt it was necessary to confirm this question.

"Don't worry! I've been taking good care of my body recently, so there won't be any problems at all!"

Dai Song looked at him with a frown and said nothing.

Li Pao pouted, "Oh, that's enough! I got it!"

As he spoke, he fished out a small bag from his pocket, poured out a few pills from it, and swallowed them directly into his stomach mixed with snow.

"Okay, don't worry. Although I'm old, I can definitely be relied upon at critical moments!"

"Yeah." Dai Song said as he took off the No. 16 hanging tube and fired a shot into the air. While he was reloading the gun, he saw Erhan's figure emerging from the back of the snow hill not far away.

Li Qinghai was startled. Just as he grabbed the butt of the gun, his face lit up. He remembered that Dai Song had such a big treasure.

"Hey! Dai Song, is this your bear cub? It's so big now! It really doesn't hibernate!"

"Hey hey! Li Pao, you better not touch it! It might bite you! That would be a real setback!"

Li Qinghai quickly retracted his hand and laughed, "No, no, I just want to see inside its neck..."

Dai Song was startled and wanted to interrupt but it was too late.

As soon as Li Qinghai finished speaking, Erhan, who was already drooping, suddenly had tears in his eyes. He walked to Dai Song, put his head in his arms, and sobbed.

"What's wrong with it?!" Li Pao was shocked.

"I'm injured." Dai Song said helplessly.

"Where's the injury?" Li Qinghai said, walking briskly around the man and the bear twice, scanning them up and down, "I have some old wound medicine here, it works! Hurry up and give it some!"

"No need, Li Pao."

"Tsk, what are you hesitating about! Where is it hurt? Does it hurt so much that it wants to hurt you when it moves? It's okay, just hold on, I'll apply medicine to it!"

Li Qinghai really loved this little bear. Seeing it look sick and listless, he felt very uncomfortable.

Dai Song sighed, "I'm sad..."

"what?"

In the next two hours, the two men and the bear walked quickly towards Bald Mountain.

Dai Song told Li Qinghai in detail what happened that day. After listening, Li Qinghai stared at Erhan who was wandering in front, looking for the trace of the Pig God, and sighed.

"Oh my goodness! They say humans are very smart, but you are too smart! You are almost as smart as a human!"

"Hey, that's the difficulty. Erhan is quite smart, but not smart enough. There are many things that I can't persuade him to understand. It's been two days and he's still like this. I tried to coax him on the way here, but it didn't work at all."

"Hey! Dai Song, even if it's the donkey of the production team, you have to give it a few days to recover after it's been bred! Besides, Erhan's situation is not a happy one in itself. I'm telling you to be patient!"

Dai Song sighed and looked at Erhan who was walking slowly with his butt shaking in front of him without saying a word.

Li Qinghai said earnestly, "Dai Song, at first I thought dragging a bear was similar to dragging a dog, but now it seems that I was completely wrong.

According to what you said, Erhan is as smart as those kids in the village.

We can no longer look at it as an animal. I am old now and have little left except experience. Let me tell you, you…"

Li Qinghai was halfway through his speech when Dai Song raised his hand to interrupt him.

This is the standard silencing gesture. Li Qinghai taught it to Dai Song in his previous life. How could Li Qinghai not recognize it?

The two men's eyes were immediately focused on Erhan, and they saw Erhan tilting his head back and sniffing.

Immediately, he quickened his pace and ran towards the distance.

Looking in the direction Erhan was heading, it was the junction of Bald Mountain and Big Bald Mountain.

Dai Song did not dare to delay and quickly put down his skis. After Li Qinghai stood firm behind him, the two followed Er Han and came to a very high shady slope.

This slope runs east-west, and the shady slope can only receive sunlight for a little while in the morning, which results in the entire slope being covered with snow crust.
Fortunately, Dai Song had skis, so the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain in just two hours.

Standing on the top of the slope, facing the warm sun, gusts of wind with a fishy smell blow up from below the slope.

White mist rises and lingers on the top of the forest.

In the hickory forest below, a large group of wild boars were huddled together and sleeping soundly. Li Qinghai's lips trembled slightly as he watched them, his eyes burning with anxiety.
"Found it. It's been eight years! I finally ran into you again!"
