The joint hunting battle was successful in the first battle, and all the commune's brigade benefited, and every member of the commune was very happy to eat.
This aroused everyone's interest in hunting.
Especially those who participated in the hunt began to have wandering thoughts, thinking of going into the mountains to pick up something to keep for the New Year.
After that, the mountains were no longer peaceful. It could be said that there was no peace at all. People were running into the mountains every day.
Some people are lucky and can catch some prey, while some are unlucky and can't catch anything.
Some people were so weak that they failed to hunt in the mountains and were injured by wild beasts instead.
Within five or six days, the commune hospital treated more than a dozen people injured while hunting.
Some were gored by wild boars, some were scratched by black blind men, and there were all kinds of things.
The director of the commune hospital was so troubled that he went directly to the commune secretary and asked the commune to take charge. It was unacceptable to continue the trouble like this.
The commune held an emergency meeting and ordered that no random entry into the mountains be allowed.
But everyone is red-eyed, who cares about that? Should we go into the mountain or go into the mountain?
At the Dongjiangyan brigade, the situation was similar. Whether they were members of the hunting team or not, they all wanted to go into the mountains and make some bargains.
Fortunately, with Xu Shiyan as his guide, nothing serious went wrong. Every time he went into the mountains, he would gain something, including hunting down a few wild boars, black blind men, and so on.
Xu Shiyan took people up the mountain three times in a row, and each time he gained a lot, but he was also very tired.
Zhao Dahai held an emergency meeting to convey orders from his superiors, which gave Xu Shiyan a chance to rest.
Later, when someone called him, Xu Shiyan simply refused.
People are not made of iron, so who can endure going up the mountain like this?
Those people couldn't get Xu Shiyan to do anything, so they tried to borrow the dog, but Xu Shiyan refused.
Hunting in the mountains is all about dogs. Those dogs have been very tired these days, so they must be given a good rest.
Besides, the dogs recognized their owners. Without Xu Shiyan to take them up the mountain, they would not be obedient and work at all.
If something unexpected happens if you lend it out, whose responsibility will it be?
Those people couldn't call Xu Shiyan, and they couldn't borrow the dog, so they were not very happy, so they had to leave in anger.
After a few days, the hunting wind somewhat subsided.
Xu Shiyan couldn't bring his dog up the mountain anymore, for fear that others would be jealous.
So I took my brothers and went to the riverside to trap otters near Nuanquanzi.
Either go to the nearby woods to find badger holes and smoke the badgers, or else go to the pine forest to trap squirrels or sables.
On this day, the three brothers worked hard all afternoon on the mountain, caught a lot of traps, and headed back at noon.
When they were halfway up the mountain, they suddenly heard a roar in the distance. The three of them were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost sat down on the snow.
"Third brother, it's the movement of a tiger. How can there be a tiger here?" Xu Shixiang's face turned pale with fright, and he said in fear.
Xu Shiyan waved his hand, signaling Lao Wu not to make any noise, which would affect his judgment.
Along with the roar of the tiger, there were also some noises. Xu Shiyan knew as soon as he heard it that it was the sound of bears.
The reason why we say it is a bear instead of a black blind man is because there is another kind of bear in the Changbai Mountain area, the brown bear, which is also the bear bear often mentioned in ginseng stories.
The locals call the black bear Heixiazi or Gotuozi, while the brown bear is usually called Matuozi.
Bears hibernate in most winters. Black bears usually hibernate in tree holes, called Tiancangzi.
Brown bears are larger than black bears and cannot live in tree holes, so they hibernate in stone caves, hence their name.
This winter, Xu Shiyan killed several Tiancangzi, but never met Dicangzi.
The noise coming from the other side of the mountain didn't sound like a black bear, but like a brown bear.
Which barn is this brown bear in? Was it woken up by someone?
Well, it is also possible that many people have entered the mountains recently, and it is unclear which group of people disturbed the hibernating brown bears.
The brown bear came out of the cave and somehow met the tiger.
"Second brother, do you dare to come with me to watch a tiger and a blind bear fight?"
Xu Shiyan was brave, and relying on his good marksmanship, he planned to go over and join in the fun.
The number of tigers in the mountains is now very small and it is difficult to see them.
Not to mention, scenes like tigers and brown bears fighting are so rare that it would be a shame not to join in the fun.
"Third brother, stop making trouble. That's a tiger. How dangerous it is. What if something happens to it?"
Before Xu Shian could speak, Xu Shixiang hurriedly stopped the two of them.
"Right now, the tiger is fighting with the blind bear. They won't settle until they decide the winner. Let's stay away and take a sneak peek."
Brown bears are one of the few animals that can compete with tigers. If the two meet together, it will definitely not end until they fight each other. If they don't get into trouble, both sides will suffer.
"Lao Wu, you follow us. It's okay. Let's go take a look."
Xu Shi'an is also very courageous. When he heard about the fight between a tiger and a blind bear, he felt itchy in his heart. What's the point of not going to see it?
Both brothers had to go, what could Xu Shixiang do? He could only follow his brother.
The three brothers climbed up a mountain in the direction of the sound.
After climbing over the ridge and going down, I saw a brown bear and a tiger fighting in a logging field at the foot of the hillside. The battle was very fierce.
The tiger should be an adult male, huge in size, almost 500 kilograms by the looks of it.
Not to mention the brown bear, which weighs almost seven to eight hundred kilograms and is as big as a small mountain.
Although the brown bear is huge, it is not stupid at all. It can dodge the tiger's attack by leaping and running, and can even give the tiger a claw unexpectedly.
The tiger is not a fuel-efficient lamp. With its fast speed, strong explosive power and dexterity, it can give the brown bear a hard blow from time to time.
The sharp claws left many wounds on the brown bear's body, and the brown bear screamed in pain.
The brown bear saw that it was invincible and wanted to run away, but the tiger didn't give it a chance and bit the brown bear on the back of its neck.
The brown bear turned around and slapped him, but the slap missed. The tiger nimbly dodged it, and then the tiger raised its claws and dug into the brown bear's chest.
These two big guys were fighting each other, and each had his own victory or defeat, but overall, the tiger had the upper hand.
Xu Shiyan's cat was watching on the hillside, and the more he watched, the more anxious he became. If they were just fighting like this, when would it be over?
With a thought in his mind, Xu Shiyan walked forward leaning against the snow.
Xu Shixiang was about to shout, but Xu Shi'an held him back.
Neither brother dared to say anything, and stared intently at Xu Shiyan's every move.
Xu Shiyan took advantage of the fact that the two guys were concentrating on fighting and had no time to be distracted, and moved forward bit by bit.
After moving to about 300 meters, Xu Shiyan did not dare to go any further. He quietly picked up the semi-automatic, aimed at the big brown bear, and fired with a single shot.
Xu Shiyan's marksmanship was really impressive, one shot hit the brown bear in the belly.
Due to the wrong position, the brown bear did not die immediately, but turned around and headed towards the direction of the gunshot.
Xu Shiyan calmly took aim with his gun and fired three more shots.
After three shots, the brown bear fell to the ground.
As for the tiger, when the first shot was fired, he jumped up and ran away.
