After breakfast, they fed the animals fodder, and when the sky became dim and bright, the four of them put on their wooden horses and climbed up the hillside.
Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing were walking by chopping bark along the way. There were marks. Even if dozens of traps were laid, they could easily identify the route and the location of the traps.
Along the way, there was no rush. When Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke arrived at the place where they set the trap, they would carefully look at the environment and the traces left by the surrounding small animals to see if there were any that were attracted by the bait but did not take the bait.
For prey, determine whether it needs to be pinched and hunted.
It can be seen that Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng have done a good job in catching mink traps without making any major mistakes.
The harvest also naturally becomes very good.
After wandering around all morning, I went through all the traps and found six sables, eight yellow-skinned sables, two raccoon dogs, and two yellow-throated martens.
Another iron trap hit a red fox. When the four people saw it, it was still jumping around and struggling. Zhao Yongke took a wooden stick and beat it to death with a stick.
Lu Lu looked at the footprints left by the red fox and asked the three of them to continue to check and collect the traps. He led Yuanbao and the others to follow them for a while. It took him more than half an hour, but he actually found the fox hole.
It was in an abandoned badger cave that they chased three foxes out. They didn't run away in vain. After killing them, they chased the three of them.
After the meeting, the group of people put the prey into bags and slid down the mountain, returning to the surface of the Stone River. This distance was far beyond the place where Lu Lu and the others found Xiong Xiazi.
After some discussion, they decided to choose a flat place with leeward wind by the river, built a fire to roast them, and started skinning the prey together.
After feeding Yuanbao and the others half full, he cut some of the remaining meat into small pieces for bait, and piled the rest in the snow. He was going to go back and move the tent over and set up camp here.
Unfortunately, walking on flat ice is a slippery slope for horses, and it is difficult to stand up.
This smooth river surface is really white, otherwise, the sledge sliding on it must be quite silky...
The furs cannot be placed here. The meat hidden in the snow and the smell of blood can easily attract other wild animals. Therefore, after taking the furs with him in the hunting bag, Lu Lu directly
He asked a few people to place several iron clamps and wire rope arrays around the pile of meat.
After finishing the work, he followed the hillside on the right side of the river bank and set traps all the way back.
I kept busy until noon and finally arranged all the hunting equipment I brought.
After returning to the tent and looking at the time, the group of people simply ate their lunch, packed their luggage, hitched the horses to the sledge, and continued along the river bank, stopping only when they reached the spot where the blind bear was found.
Following the snow slope to the big lime tree, Lu Lu chose a spot, and Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing began to prepare the fire for the blind man.
Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke, on the other hand, measured the entrance of the cave by the blind bear. They cut off a wooden stick as thick as an arm and prepared to use it to anchor the entrance of the warehouse to prevent the blind bear from jumping out from the entrance of the warehouse. If the blind bear appeared again, he would directly
When jumping from a tree, things can easily go wrong in a hurry.
In this regard, when leading Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng to the Xiong Xiazizi warehouse, Lu Lu had to remember the situation where the Xiongzizi was shot and fell directly from the tree.
When hunting, you always seek safety. Being careless will only bring disaster to yourself.
After chopping the sticks, Lu Lu stepped on Zhao Yongke's shoulders and climbed to the tree branch where Xiong Xiazi opened his warehouse. He stuck his head and looked inside, and found that the tree hole was quite deep and dark, and he couldn't see anything.
, so he took out the flashlight from the hunting bag, opened it and looked inside, and saw a furry blind bear lying inside at the bottom of the tree hole, sticking out his tongue and licking the soles of his feet.
The beam of the flashlight hit it. Blind Xiong raised his head and glanced upward. Lu Lu quickly turned it off.
I'm not ready yet. It wouldn't be good if the blind bear got angry and crawled out now.
"Brother Lu, have you seen Blind Bear?" Chen Xiuqing, who was dragging firewood back, saw Lu Lu looking inside and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is it big?"
"I saw it. It's just one head, weighing more than three hundred kilograms." Lu Lu weighed it slightly and said in a low voice.
"More than three hundred kilograms...it's not that big!"
Chen Xiuqing was somewhat disgusted with it.
"It's already very big. Xiong Xiazi has been squatting in the warehouse for so long, so he has lost weight. Now he still has more than 300 kilograms. In the autumn, it will be at least 400 kilograms." Zhao Yongke said with a smile.
.
"Yeah, I forgot about this!"
Chen Xiuqing suddenly woke up, turned around and continued to collect firewood.
Xiong Xiazi's warehouse is usually not very large.
Generally speaking, as long as its head can fit into a tree hole, its body can also fit in.
Don't look at Xiong Xiazi's huge size, but in fact the main reason is that the fat on his body is thick and his frame is not too big. Wherever his head can pass, his body can be squeezed and he can get in.
The key point is that the large opening of the cave entrance is not conducive to the insulation of the cave. Therefore, it is difficult to measure the size of the blind bear in the bear cave by the size of the cave entrance without seeing it with your own eyes.
It's very possible that what's lying in the hole inside the small warehouse is a big guy.
After lying in the barn for a long time, the blind bear's fur in the cave has become much looser. This also makes the entrance to the barn, which was very difficult for him when he first entered the barn, much easier now.
The purpose of adding wooden sticks is to set up obstacles so that the blind bear cannot easily get out at once, catching people off guard and gaining more shooting opportunities.
Many people go into the mountains to dig out bear dens in winter. Without guns, they use a big ax to kill bears in this way.
When the blind bear's head came out and half of his body was still stuck, he swung his ax to chop him down.
Lu Lu and the others all had semi-automatic weapons, and their marksmanship was pretty good. Normally, if you were brave enough, there was no need to do this.
Zhao Yongke felt that this matter was a bit redundant, but Lu Lu was insisting on it.
After Lu Lu explained the situation, he nodded in agreement and said nothing more.
Lu Lu tied up the stick, hung the branches with his hands, and jumped onto the snow.
Then the two of them also helped to collect firewood. Not long after, a large pile of firewood was ready for Chen Xiuqing to light.
After taking a short rest and waiting for the fire to burn, Lu Lu and the others took out the semi-automatic weapons that were slung across their holsters, checked the bullets, and loaded the guns.
"Qingzi, go call the warehouse!" Lu Lu said, holding the gun in both hands and getting ready.
Chen Xiuqing nodded, chopped a wooden stick, walked under the tree, and banged on the trunk a few times. From the sound, he could tell the location of the bottom of the bear barn, and then he continued to beat.
He has a strong body and a lot of strength, and he beats very hard.
After a few blows, the bark of the tree was blown open, and then a piece of wood on the trunk suddenly collapsed.
At this time, Yuanbao and the others, who had been barking at the big lime tree before and were calmed down by Lu Lu, who were lying aside, probably smelled the strong smell of blind bears emanating from the small hole exposed by the collapse, and immediately
He stood up again and started barking at the small hole.
Upon seeing this situation, Lu Lu quickly shouted: "Qingzi, stop!"
Chen Xiuqing also noticed this strangeness and quickly stopped and stepped away from him.
Lu Lu carefully approached the tree trunk with his gun, and then realized that the tree trunk Chen Xiuqing knocked on did not look like anything from the outside, but a closer look revealed that there were dense insect holes on it, and it was basically rotten.
"Be careful, this tree is rotten inside. It's very likely that the blind bear will be cracked open when he climbs up and jump out at any time."
Lu Lu's expression became serious. He approached the small hole, endured the strong fishy smell, took out a flashlight and looked at it, and saw that Xiong Xiong had stood up inside and was using his nose.
If you sniff at the small hole that was made, you can see the white mist coming out when the blind bear vents his breath.
When Lu Lu saw this, he quickly retreated further away.
He had seen the bark and found that the area was quite rotten. With Blind Bear's strength, it was very possible that he could open a hole with just a few pulls.
"I'll call Cang, your shooting skills are better than mine, you come and fight!"
Zhao Yongke also looked a little closer and said in a deep voice.
Lu Lu nodded, turned around and said to Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing: "You two should stay back a little, and be careful."
"Brother, since the bark of this tree is rotten, just kill it inside. It will be broken by then." Zhang Shaofeng suggested.
"It's not impossible...it's just that it's hard to hit the vital part when you hit it through the bark of the tree, and the fur is damaged a lot. It's hard to find a blind bear. Let's try to make it more valuable!"
Lu Lu took a deep breath: "The four of us are still afraid of a blind bear. I'll take care of this. You guys should take precautions and be ready to support at any time!"
After listening to what Lu Lu said, Zhang Shaofeng thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. He could easily kill the blind bear by holding a gun and shooting inward. This would in case the fur was injured or the bear's bile was injured.
Parts, that’s a big loss.
Besides, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke are both good players, so there is really no need to worry too much.
So, he and Chen Xiuqing retreated to the fire, holding their guns and getting ready.
Lu Lu nodded at Zhao Yongke. Zhao Yongke pulled out his hunting knife, went to the side and chopped a two-meter-long wooden stick. He returned to the side of the lime tree, stretched out his hand, and inserted the wooden stick into the hole made by the tree.
.
After a few moments, I heard the deep roar of the completely irritated Blind Bear inside.
After several pulls, the wooden stick that Zhao Yongke pushed in was suddenly grabbed and pulled in violently.
How could a person compete with a blind bear? Zhao Yongke let go decisively, and the blind bear pulled the stick in a few times. Immediately afterwards, there was a crash from the hole in the tree, and the small hole was pulled by the blind bear.
The face is as big as a hole.
The blind bear put his nose close to the entrance of the hole and sniffed. It seemed that he wanted to get out directly from here.
However, as soon as its nose was exposed to the outside, Yuanbao took the opportunity. He jumped, put his front feet on the tree trunk, and opened his mouth to bite the blind bear's nose.
This time it was bitten hard by Yuan Bao.
The nose is such a sensitive place. The blind bear roared and retracted suddenly. Suddenly, even the ingot was lifted up, and it hurriedly let go.
When Yuanbao just landed, a bear's paw stretched out from the hole, scratching randomly, but Black Mouth caught the opportunity, jumped up and took another bite, and quickly retracted after being bitten.
At this time, Blind Bear was completely angry and howled inside.
There was a crazy banging sound inside the tree barn, and the hole was immediately enlarged. Then, the blind man's head suddenly came out.
Lu Lu, who had been watching silently, was waiting for this moment and decisively pulled the trigger in his hand.
There was a loud gunshot, and the bullet instantly penetrated the blind man's head.
