Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

If you bring a gun and a dog, raiding a bear's den isn't actually that dangerous.

After all, with the truth in hand, one rarely encounters natural enemies in the mountains.

But if one of the two is missing, the rest must be made up for by the hunter's experience.

They did not experience the mountain sweep in the mid-1980s.

At this time of year, there are quite a few black bears in the mountains and forests of Northeast China.

If you can find that huge tree that two or three people can't wrap their arms around, there's a hole in it.

It's basically a natural tree cellar.

Black bears hibernate in two parts: the celestial granary and the terrestrial granary.

The "sky granary" is a tree granary, while the "earth granary" is a hut covered with corn stalks or tree branches.

The underground enclosure is usually inhabited by male bears. Male bears do not need to reproduce; they can survive the winter thanks to their fur.

Most female bears will seek out open areas to hibernate, since they can reproduce painlessly while hibernating.

The newborn babies will suckle while their mother is hibernating.

Only tree cellars can effectively protect bear cubs.

The two drove the oxcart all the way towards the back of the mountain.

If they encountered a dead tree, they would chop it down with an axe and load it onto an oxcart.

In those days, rural areas and forestry were managed separately.

The forestry department is not very strict in managing the felling of trees by its workers' families.

But if rural residents secretly cut down trees, they will be fined until they lose everything if caught!

Therefore, the two could only choose dry trees that met the requirements.

They walked and stopped along the way, and when the sun was high in the sky, the two arrived at the location of the tree shed they remembered.

Since it was only early winter, the smell near the treehouse hadn't dissipated yet.

As soon as you get close, you can smell a nauseating odor.

The treehouse was suspended in the air, with several finger-length icicles hanging from it.

That's caused by the moisture the bear exhaled in its tree trunk!

"Dazhuang, you're really lucky! You ran into a black bear on your very first tree chamber!"

Lu Weiguo became excited when he saw the withered red pine!

Although the bear bile was to be sold to Mrs. Chang, the other furs and other items were also quite expensive!

Especially the right forefoot; if sold to someone from the south, it would be worth at least two or three hundred yuan!

It can be said that an ordinary family could kill a black bear.

For the next five or six years, I'll have enough to live on without having to do anything.

"Hehe, isn't this what we found when we were picking pine cones for you? I remember everything you said, brother. Besides here, there are two other tree holes over there too."

But they all grow under the trees!

Fools sometimes have good luck!

Liu Dazhuang looks like he's destined for good fortune!

"Dazhuang, look at us..."

Icicles hung from the entrance of the tree cave, and even hunters scratched their heads when they arrived.

Lu Weiguo didn't even need to go over to make a judgment before he started preparing with Liu Dazhuang.

If the treehouse is located at the bottom, this is easier to handle.

All you need to do is use hunting dogs, or have people constantly call out to the barn.

Wake up the black bear that has just woken up, and when it shows its head, a headshot will be enough.

However, installing tree chambers on top of trees requires certain technical expertise.

Otherwise, if you call for help and shoot as soon as the bear shows its head, that big black bear weighing three or four hundred pounds will fall back down.

There are almost no other ways to pull the bear out except by knocking down the tree.

During the time it took to fall the tree, the essence in the bear bile had already been absorbed by the corpse.

Therefore, the timing of firing must be very precise!

Liu Dazhuang nodded repeatedly.

Then they moved the oxcart to the foot of the mountain, which was quite far away.

Then he came over carrying a giant log.

Lu Weiguo had already cleared the snow from the edge of the red pine trees, leaving himself a way out.

Once the snow is cleared, people can run faster.

In case your leg gets stuck in a snowdrift while you're running away.

Then he'd be dead.

"Brother Weiguo, is my name Cang now?"

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Without further ado, the two took advantage of the moment.

The two found their places.

Lu Weiguo stood directly in front of the cave entrance, about three meters away.

It allows for both offense and defense, and using the Pythagorean theorem, it is the optimal shooting distance.

Liu Dazhua also arrived at the back of Xiongcang.

Just as Lu Weiguo nodded.

The thick wooden stick slammed down on the dead red pine with a loud thud!

"wrong!!"

However, Lu Weiguo immediately realized something was wrong with the sound after Liu Dazhuang only hit it once!

It just slipped out!

However, it was all too late!

Liu Dazhuang raised the wooden stick high in his hand and swung it down hard using the momentum.

Upon hearing Lu Weiguo's voice, there was no time to stop.

And that already withered red pine, after being struck by this hammer...

The bark was smashed open, and the stick struck the bear's body with a single blow!

It's called Cang, that's why it's called that.

The purpose was to wake the bear up so that it would crawl out of the cave on its own.

Instead of smashing the tree and letting it hurtle directly at a person, you should smash it.

Inside the tree hollow.

The black bear, which had just eaten and drunk its fill and was preparing to hibernate, was completely dumbfounded.

This withered red pine is not very sturdy.

It was difficult enough just to climb up by swaying left and right.

Before it had even fallen asleep, something started tapping its butt.

Even people have morning grumpiness, let alone a black bear!

"roar!!!"

A deafening roar seemed to emanate from the tree hole and spread outwards in all directions, with the tree hole as the center.

Just like snow falling, the sound alone was enough to shake the falling snow down.

"Run!! Run this way!!"

Lu Weiguo's voice began to become hoarse, as he strained his voice as if afraid Liu Dazhuang wouldn't hear him!

However, he forgot that Liu Dazhuang was a bit simple-minded.

Startled by the black bear's roar, instead of being afraid, it ignited the ruthlessness in its bones.

You're so awesome, Black Bear!

But I am the village guardian!

Do you think we're afraid of you?!

Liu Dazhuang, who was only focused on one thing, swung his wooden stick again and smashed it hard at the black bear that had poked its head out.

Lu Weiguo was taken aback when he saw this.

He cursed the idiot under his breath, picked up his hunting rifle, and ran straight over.

"bump!"

This time, Liu Dazhuang used even more force than the previous two times.

The thick wooden stick cracked the moment it touched the bear's head.

The black bear, who had just woken up, felt only a dazed but not mentally disturbed feeling, and the force was just right.

Not only was he not knocked unconscious, but he became even more lucid!

You should know that the Black Bear is a creature not to be trifled with in the forest.

If you can be knocked unconscious by a single blow, how can you compete with other wild beasts for territory?

"roar!!"

Black Bear crawled out of the tree hole, stood up, and was about to slap Liu Dazhuang across the face!

This is Hei Xiazi's standard attack method; when he stands up, he appears quite large, which puts pressure on the opponent.

"Fuck! Call your mom!!"

But Liu Dazhuang felt no fear and brandished his fists, ready to fight Hei Xiazi one-on-one.

"Dazhuang!!"

At this moment, Lu Weiguo finally circled around to this side of the tree.

After shouting to wake Liu Dazhuang, he wasn't afraid of being accidentally hit by a bullet.

With a hand as steady as a rock, he raised the shotgun, aimed instantly, and pulled the trigger—all with fluid, effortless grace.

Black Bear asked, turning his head.

The bullet pierced through the eyeball and exploded in the bear's brain!

Then, the mountain-sized black bear fell straight backward.

The dead tree couldn't support the weight of the bear and collapsed.

"Bang! Crash!!"

The rising snow mist concealed the bloody scene, making it appear like a fairyland.
