Chang Kun and his father continued walking along the mountain fork.

I kept the sensors on all morning, but still couldn't find any trace of the big guy.

It was the hottest time of the year, and the sun was already high in the sky. The father and son were tired from walking, so they slowly started to walk back.

Chang Kun had already made a plan: if he couldn't catch any big ones, he would catch some wild rabbits at the foot of the mountain and go home to give his mother an explanation.

Before we even left the foot of the mountain, we could hear a series of wails from afar.

"Ouch! Ouch—it hurts!"

There was also some noise and commotion.

"Hurry! Hurry! Let's go!"

"His arm is broken! Get him to the city quickly!"

Upon hearing that something was amiss, Chang Kun and Chang Dashan quickened their pace and caught up with the group ahead.

Upon closer inspection, they realized the people were villagers who had gone into the mountains to hunt.

Only one person was injured, and that was Chang Wushu's son, Chang Youfu.

His arm was twisted behind his back and hung limply; it was obvious at a glance that it was broken inside.

The pants on his buttocks were torn to shreds, and blood was still seeping from the bloody welts on his buttocks.

He was carried on the back of the villagers, his face pale, and large beads of sweat dripping from his brow.

Upon seeing Chang Kun and Chang Dashan's family arrive, everyone started talking at once, recounting the whole story.

Chang Youfu was very bold. He was very tempted when he saw that Chang Kun had hunted so many prey and even bought a bicycle.

But he didn't have a gun at home and couldn't borrow one in a short time, so he set his sights on Liu Tiezhu's water beads.

He instigated Liu Tiezhu's son, Liu Chuqiang, to take his family's gun.

The two teenagers, without a care in the world, rushed into the deep mountains.

Chang Youfu is sixteen years old this year, and Liu Chuqiang is fourteen. The two of them only know how to crave meat and have no idea about the dangers of running in the mountains.

According to other hikers in the village, there was not much prey in the mountains near the foot of the mountain, so the two of them kept their heads down and continued to venture deeper into the distant mountains.

As they reached the foot of a hill, the two heard the roars of animals and assumed that, just as the villagers had said, there were large creatures in the deep mountains.

They didn't care about being upwind or downwind, nor did they hide themselves or avoid making a sound; they ran straight up the hill.

The two had only reached halfway up the mountain when a black bear suddenly leaped out from behind a tree and pounced on Chang Youfu, who was walking in front.

This black bear was the same one that Chang Kun and his father had encountered yesterday. Chang Kun had shot it in the hind leg, and it was licking its wound in the forest.

The injured black bear was extremely agitated. It smelled the sweat on the human body and pounced on him without thinking.

When Liu Chuqiang saw the black bear, he was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could.

After running more than ten meters, he remembered that Chang Youfu, who had come with him, was still on the hillside.

He remembered that the mountain runners had said that the animals in the mountains were afraid of gunshots, and that any animal would be scared away as soon as a gun was fired.

He flipped the water beads off his arm, and without even aiming, fired a shot into the sky.

What he didn't know was that while other animals would flee in terror at the sound of gunfire, black bears were different. When a black bear heard a person firing a gun, it would charge at the person through the gunfire.

Chang Youfu was knocked down by the black bear, and his arm was broken on the spot. He was stunned and could only howl with his mouth wide open.

The black bear extended sharp claws from its pair of fleshy paws and scratched at Chang Youfu's constantly moving rump.

The thin layer of summer pants was torn open immediately, and blood gushed out.

Just as the black bear was about to continue, Liu Chuqiang fired his gun from a distance.

The black bear was enraged by the gunshot; it was the same sound that wounded its hind leg yesterday!

They abandoned Chang Youfu and went straight to Liu Chuqiang!

Liu Chuqiang was far away when he saw the black bear charging towards him. He was so frightened that he wet himself and forgot all about Chang Youfu. He used all his strength to rush down the mountain.

These two are incredibly lucky. The black bear was injured yesterday and can't use its hind legs, so it can only hop around on one hind leg.

On the short descent down the mountain, Liu Chuqiang managed to leave the black bear far behind.

Only when he was too exhausted to run did he dare to hide behind a tree and gasp for breath.

After crying out a few times, Chang Youfu felt the black bear on his body had left. Ignoring the excruciating pain all over his body, he got up and ran away.

The two walked around the hill for a long time before finally meeting.

Seeing Chang Youfu's miserable state, Liu Chuqiang felt a wave of fear wash over him. If he had been in front, he would probably be the one injured now.

Liu Chuqiang helped Chang Youfu walk for more than three hours before they arrived at the foot of the mountain and met the villagers.

The group carried Chang Youfu on their backs and hurriedly arrived at the Chang family compound.

They had already discussed it on the way: Chang Kun would ride his bicycle to take Chang Youfu to the city hospital first, while Chang Dashan would rush to Uncle Chang's house to inform him.

Chang Youfu had an injury to his buttocks and couldn't sit down, so he could only stand on the back seat, holding onto Chang Kun's shoulder.

Fortunately, Chang Kun was a good cyclist, and the two of them made it to the Sixth Hospital of Beijing smoothly, like they were performing acrobatics.

Chang Kun paid the money for Chang Youfu, found a doctor, and sent him into the operating room before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After rushing here, I was covered in sweat, feeling hot and tired, and my mouth was dry.

Having found the hot water room, I was just about to have a good drink when I suddenly heard a sobbing sound coming from behind the door.

Looking towards the sound, a girl wearing a dress was squatting on the ground, sobbing softly.

Chang Kun was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this Cheng Min?

The one crying on the ground was Cheng Min, whom Chang Kun had encountered twice before—one when he beat up a thief, and the other when he met a thug.

Chang Kun stepped forward to ask what was going on.

Cheng Min looked up, her face streaked with tears.

Recognizing it was Chang Kun, he explained the situation while sobbing.

Her father is a senior researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has been studying various animals in China for many years.

Recently, the institute asked us to study venomous snakes around Beijing. Yesterday, her father led a team into the mountains to capture them.

Unexpectedly, not long after entering the mountains, her father was bitten by a tuft of grass and fell into a coma after being taken to the hospital.

Chang Kun recalled encountering a group of people when he went into the mountains yesterday.

The group was well-equipped and clearly not from the surrounding area. Now that I think about it, it was very likely that it was the team led by Cheng Min's father.

There are many dangers in the mountains; snake bites are common. If it weren't for the system, Chang Kun wouldn't be able to move around the mountains so freely.

"And your father, now?"

Cheng Min shook her head: "The doctor said there's no corresponding serum for this disease right now, and my dad... sob sob..."

Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face.

Chang Kun raised an eyebrow.

serum?

This thing sounds familiar.

Wasn't the reward for catching snakes yesterday some kind of universal serum?

Is this thing supposed to be used here?

System, something's wrong with you!

The arrangement was too deliberate!

Although he thought this way, he still took out the serum and handed it to Cheng Min with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, this is serum. It should be effective against the poison in the burdock. Would you like to try it?"

Cheng Min was stunned. How could Chang Kun have serum that even major hospitals don't have?

Will this work?

But if we don't use it, according to the doctor, Dad will probably suffer in pain for only two or three days.

Why not take a gamble?
