Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

?It was late at night, and the bonfire was jumping in the open field, reflecting the excited but slightly tired faces of Liu Yi, Liu Guangqi, Xu Damao and Yan Jiekuang. They had just experienced a thrilling encounter with a brown bear. Although they finally escaped successfully, Liu Yi had a little regret in his heart - he forgot the precious bear paw.

"No, I have to act on my own." Liu Yi thought to himself, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that for a hunter, missing any opportunity to get a precious prey was unforgivable. Moreover, the bear paw was the delicacy he had always dreamed of.

So Liu Yi turned to Liu Guangqi and said, "Brother Guangqi, you guys rest here first and don't get drunk. There's a fire outside, so there shouldn't be any animals coming to steal food. I'm going to go to the forest and see if I can find those hibernating bears."

Liu Guangqi frowned when he heard this and said worriedly, "Liu Yi, are you sure you want to go alone? It's getting late now and the forest is full of dangers."

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Guangqi. I know my limits. Besides, this bear paw is a rare delicacy. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you'll have another chance."

After saying that, Liu Yi turned and walked into the dark forest. His figure appeared and disappeared among the shadows of the trees, and soon disappeared into the night.

Liu Yi relied on his familiarity with the forest and his keen intuition to move through the darkness. He carefully avoided areas where danger might be hidden, and listened carefully to the movements around him. He knew that although hibernating bears moved slowly, once awakened, their strength and aggressiveness should not be underestimated.

However, despite this, Liu Yi had no intention of retreating. His heart was filled with desire and pursuit for the bear's paw, and this force drove him forward.

Finally, after searching for a while, Liu Yi found a bear hibernation cave. He quietly approached the cave entrance and peeked inside through the gap. He saw a huge brown bear curled up in the cave, sleeping soundly. The thick bear paw was right in front of him, as if he could touch it.

Liu Yi was excited, but he also knew that he must not act rashly at this moment. He waited quietly, observing the brown bear's breathing and movements, looking for the best time to attack.

Time passed by, and Liu Yi's patience reached its limit. He took a deep breath, then suddenly pulled out the hunting knife from his waist and pounced on the brown bear in the cave.

However, just as he was about to succeed, the brown bear suddenly woke up, let out a deafening roar, and then pounced towards Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was startled, but he did not panic. With his agility and courage, he fought fiercely with the brown bear. The hunting knife flashed coldly in his hand, and every swing was accompanied by the brown bear's roar of pain.

After a fierce battle, Liu Yi finally succeeded in subduing the brown bear with his tenacious perseverance and excellent skills. He panted and looked at the prey in front of him, feeling a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

However, Liu Yi was not satisfied with this. He knew that this was just the beginning. So he continued to go deeper into the forest, looking for the next target.

In the following time, Liu Yi successfully captured several hibernating bears with his excellent hunting skills and keen intuition. Every capture filled his heart with joy and satisfaction. He knew that he could finally achieve the freedom of the bear paw in this life.

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and sprinkled on Liu Yi's tired but excited face, he had already returned to the camp with a full harvest. When Liu Guangqi, Xu Damao and Yan Jiekuang saw the prey in his hands, they all showed expressions of shock and envy.

"Liu Yi, you are so awesome! What a big bear! It's a pity that the bear skin is gone, but the bear paws and bear meat are still good!" Liu Guangqi exclaimed sincerely.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiekuang also nodded in agreement. They knew that this time Liu Yi not only won honor and respect for himself, but also brought valuable resources and wealth to their entire team.

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head, saying: "This is all thanks to everyone. Without your support and help, I would not have achieved such results."

After that, Liu Yi began to process these precious prey. He carefully cut the bear paws, then washed and pickled them carefully. He knew that these bear paws would become important supplies and delicious dishes for their future adventures.

When night fell, the four of them sat around the campfire again, their faces filled with satisfied and joyful smiles. They drank and ate meat, enjoying this rare tranquility and beauty. Liu Yi would occasionally pick up a piece of marinated bear paw and taste it carefully. The rich aroma and unique taste intoxicated him, as if the whole world had become beautiful.

"Liu Yi, your bear paw is absolutely amazing!" Xu Damao exclaimed while eating.

Yan Jiekuang also nodded repeatedly to show his agreement: "Yes, I have never eaten anything so delicious in my life."

Liu Guangqi smiled and looked at Liu Yi, his eyes full of pride and satisfaction. He knew that this young hunter not only had excellent hunting skills, but also had a brave and determined heart.

Liu Yi suggested that they leave in two days, and everyone got busy. Liu Guangqi led Xu Damao and Yan Jiekuang to start grilling the bear meat. They were skilled and had a clear division of labor. Xu Damao was responsible for cutting the bear meat into thin slices, Yan Jiekuang put the meat slices on bamboo sticks, and Liu Guangqi grilled it on the side.

The blazing flames licked the meat slices, making sizzling sounds, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue. Liu Guangqi kept turning the meat slices to ensure that they were evenly heated and roasted until golden brown. Xu Damao and Yan Jiekuang prepared the seasoning on the side. They mixed salt, pepper, cumin and other seasonings together to make a delicious barbecue seasoning.

After several hours of hard work, the bear meat was finally roasted into jerky. Liu Guangqi put the jerky aside to cool, and then packed it in a bag. Xu Damao and Yan Jiekuang rested on the side, their faces filled with satisfied smiles.

Liu Yi came over, looked at the roasted meat, and nodded with satisfaction. He said, "This meat is enough for us to eat for a few days. We can set off now."

"Xiao Yi, we have to coax it for two more days to prevent the moisture from spoiling. We still have 100 kilograms of liquor, several hundred kilograms of smoked meat, plus these several hundred kilograms of barbecued meat, which is enough for us to reach the border area between Siberia and Damao where Uncle Niu and his people immigrated."

After listening to Brother Liu Guangqi's words, Liu Yi also thought it was right. He nodded and agreed with Liu Guangqi's opinion.
