Silly Hunter's Wife

Song Chun has been to Black Bear Ridge several times. Apart from coming here alone three years ago to avenge and kill a black bear for his grandfather, he also came here with his grandfather and other hunters to hunt bears.

So she has a better understanding of the terrain here.

Going up the mountain in this kind of weather will be tens of degrees below zero at night, which can be said to be extremely cold.

The first thing she has to do is find a place to spend the night.

Soon, relying on his knowledge of the topography of Heixiong Ridge and the memory of previous bear hunting, Song Chun found a hidden stone cave behind the bushes on the hillside.

This cave is not big, less than one meter wide and more than half a meter high, requiring Song Chun to squat down and slowly move in.

Before going in, Song Chun took out the torch he had prepared long ago, lit it with a match, drew out the hunting knife, and moved it slowly.She raised her vigilance, in case there was a wild animal hiding in the cave and hurt someone, she could use a knife to protect herself.Fortunately, after she went in, she didn't find any beasts.

The cave was about three meters deep, and the inside was relatively high, enough for Song Chun to stand up.

She went in and checked, and after finding no wild animals, she put the things she had brought in the cave, she only carried a shot|gun on her back, and went out with an ax in her hand, cut some firewood outside and dragged them back into the cave. After the firewood is split into firewood suitable for burning.She went out and buried three traps in the snow at the entrance of the cave.

Behind the traps, she cut some two-pointed logs and stuck them in the snow to make a fence.

There are several layers of fences, and the last layer directly seals the hole.

Between the two wooden branches at the entrance of the cave, she tied a thread, and a brass bell was tied to the thread.

This copper bell can let Song Chun hear the sound when the beast invades the cave at night, so that he has time to react and fight with the beast.

Song Chun retreated to the bottom of the cave, where he opened the roe deer skin sleeping bag he had brought.

The middle of the roe deer skin sleeping bag is filled with cotton and ulagrass, which is warm and moisture-proof.

In front of her sleeping bag, she lit a fire with enough firewood to last the night.

Song Chun put hunting|guns, bow|crossbows, axes and hunting knives by his side.

Before going to sleep in the sleeping bag, Song Chun took out the dry food and bacon wine, ate two cakes, a piece of bacon, drank a few sips of white wine, and then got into the sleeping bag to sleep.

From leaving Linzitun in the morning to going to sleep now, she has not rested for nearly ten hours. After lying down, she thought about what Er Niu was doing, wondering if she had eaten or slept...

Too sleepy, thinking about Er Niu once, she fell asleep listening to the biting cold wind blowing outside.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, when the first ray of morning light passed through the cave and hit the sleeping bag, Song Chun woke up.

She got up and added some firewood to the dying fire to make the fire bigger, then she took off the fur coat she was wearing outside, and took off the dog fur hat she was wearing on her head.

Wearing only a padded jacket, Song Chun took out the dry food and bacon he brought and ate a lot.

She was well fed, because she was going to work soon after she went out.

If the opportunity is right, there is a good chance that a bear hunt will be on hand.

In Song Chun's heart, of course he hoped to hunt the bear sooner, then go back to see Erniu earlier, then take the bear bile and bear's paw to Jiang Dongyuan, get the remaining two gold bars, and comfortably follow Erniu Cat winter together.

When she was full and warmed up, Song Chun began to put on the leather jacket and hat she had just taken off, and then she rolled up the sleeping bag she brought and tied it up.He picked up all the weapons she had left next to her sleeping bag yesterday.Hunting|guns and bow|crossbows on the back, hunting knives and axes inserted into the waist.

The copper bell at the entrance of the cave was removed, tied tightly with thread, and stuffed into the pocket.

The fences made last night were pulled up one by one, Song Chun moved outside the cave, and put away the traps he had buried in the snow yesterday.

Today is a fine day, the weather is clear, the sky is as blue as a pure crystal.

Song Chun took a deep breath, grabbed two handfuls of snow first, and ate to quench his thirst.

She started walking into the woods.

Here in Heixiongling, the more you go up the mountain, the more and more huge red pines.

In the forest composed of such large red pine trees, there are often relatively large tree holes suitable for black bears to inhabit.

Song Chun took the shotgun in his hand and walked up the mountain along the knee-high snow.

As she walked, she paid attention to the footprints of wild animals on the snow, especially the footprints of Xiong Xiazi.

Experienced hunters can spot black bear footprints in the snow, especially those that have walked past in the last hour or two.

It is said that there is a small piece of different colors in such footprints, which is yellowish or reddish.

Song Chun was searching for such footprints while walking.

With good luck, only one hour later, Song Chun found a line of such footprints. The snow in the middle of the footprints was reddish, and judging from the size of the bear's paw, the bear probably weighed six or seven hundred catties, which was considered a big one.

After discovering the bear's footprints, Song Chun suddenly became excited.

You know, in the past, she and her grandfather and other hunters came to hunt bears, and sometimes it took two or three days to find a bear's footprints.

She walked lightly along this line of footprints and searched forward slowly.

Until she saw that the set of footprints led to a huge dead red pine tree.

Song Chun stopped behind a tree tens of meters away from the huge red pine tree.

She took out the binoculars and looked at the tree.

As expected, there was a large tree hole in the withered red pine tree, which was about three meters high from the ground.

It seemed that the big guy lived in that tree hole.

Song Chun took action after confirming that the black bear she wanted to hunt lived in the tree hole of the withered red pine.

She took off all the sleeping bags on her body, and walked slowly towards the red pine with only a bundle of ropes and sleeves.

After touching the red pine tree, Song Chun climbed up the tree lightly, and fixed the wooden sleeve at the entrance of the cave with a rope.

Then she took out her ax and struck the tree.

In the sound of "dong dong dong", the black bear resting in the cave climbed to the entrance of the cave, but when he climbed to the entrance of the cave, he found that the entrance of the cave was sealed by a wooden board.Also, it smelled people, near the entrance of the cave.

This makes it very eager to come out and grab and kill anyone who dares to disturb its sleep.

The angry black bear stretched out its claws from the hole in the middle of the board, trying to grab Song Chun who was at the hole.

Song Chun, taking this opportunity, picked up an ax and chopped it down at its bear's paw.

After one of the paws was cut off, the black bear was bleeding and fell down with a bang.

The wounded and bleeding black bear roared angrily. It rolled over in the tree hole and slapped the tree and the ground with its other paw.

Song Chun got down from the tree at this time, and she stood under the tree, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and waited for the black bear in the tree hole to toss itself to death before going in to clean it up.

Under the tree, there was a bloody bear's paw. Song Chun went to pick it up, took it back to the place where he put his sleeping bag just now, and put the bear's paw into a leather bag.

From tens of meters away, Song Chun could hear the sound of the black bear whose paw had been cut off, rolling and roaring in the tree hole.

Song Chun leaned against the red pine tree, took out the bottle of white wine he had brought, unscrewed the cap and drank a couple of sips.

The wine makes people courageous, and next, Song Chun will climb up the tree again, take off the sleeve, lean into the hole in the tree hole, shoot the black bear's eyes with a gun, and when it opens its mouth, shoot the bullet from it. into his mouth.

This is done to preserve a good looking bearskin.
