Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 533: Roe deer borrows bear to seek revenge? Or he wants to borrow bear to save his life
It's no wonder that everyone is greedy. It's just that they were too tired from running in the mountains these days, and their stomachs were empty. They felt hungry again not long after they finished their meal. Although Liu Lizhen brought them a can of animal oil, animal oil is not as good as meat. Besides, there are six mouths to feed. How many days can a can of animal oil last?
More than half of it was eaten in just three days. Yesterday, they ate soybean oil. If the raw soybean oil is not processed properly, it will easily have a bean smell, and it will definitely not taste as good as animal oil. So Xu Ning told Guan Lei on the way to mix it with the oil and wait until the soybean oil smokes before putting the wild vegetables into the pot.

On the way, he picked up some mushrooms, garlic and water celery. Actually, Xu Ning was a little worried. He had been accustomed to eating big fish and meat in the past year. It was really a torture for him to eat vegetarian food for several days in a row.

It really proves the saying that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

The camp was not attacked by roe deer, but there were a few more traces of roe deer. Xu Ning walked around the area and found no trace of roe deer, so he came back and took down the food and pots hanging on the trees with Guan Lei.

First, light a fire to heat the pot, then pour water into the pot, and then pour in the rice. The conditions in the deep mountains are limited, so Guan Lei didn't think about washing the rice. Besides, when they were at home, Liu Lizhen and others didn't wash the rice when they cooked, unless there was sand or rice husks in the rice bag.

"Steaming rice?" Xu Ning asked when he saw Guan Lei pouring the rice that was 70% cooked into the steamer.

"Okay, I'll fry some wild vegetables later. I've been drinking porridge these past few days, but porridge doesn't make me full."

"I'm not very resistant to hunger. I'll be hungry after two or three o'clock. You stay here and I'll go to the creek to see if there are any fish."

"Brother, don't look anymore. I looked around several times yesterday and didn't see any fish. They were all small fish, and there was no ditch or pond nearby..."

"You have to go there too. Bring me the kettle."

Guan Lei handed over the kettle, and Xu Ning took it and said, "Be careful."

"know."

Then, Xu Ning carried two water bottles and walked towards the river. When he arrived at the river, it was already 5: and the temperature was getting cooler, so Xu Ning was about to go back after fetching water. When he turned around, he saw a pair of ears in the woods, and a pair of eyes were staring at him.

Xu Ning quickly put down the kettle and was about to pick up the 56 and a half when he saw that the roe deer had disappeared. This scene was really a bit creepy!
Damn it, Xu Ning cursed in his heart, then picked up the kettle and quickly returned to the camp.

Guan Lei saw him and said, "Brother, after you left just now, I heard the noise again."

"You heard the noise, but I saw it!"

"Did you see it? Is it a roe deer?"

"Yes! It's that female roe deer."

Guan Lei frowned and asked, "Why is this roe deer following us?"

"Maybe it's holding a grudge because of what we did to it that day... We can't keep animals that hold a grudge, or we'll be in danger. We'll beat it up next time we see it."

"Yeah, I think so too. It's really scary."

"Not really. I was scared just now."

After a while, Xu Laonian, Liu Daming, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu came back. Xu Laonian was holding a piece of tree bark in his hand and showing off as he walked.

Several people smiled when they saw each other. Xu Laonian said with a smile: "Old man, smash it! You have fulfilled your mission! You carried it out intact!"

Li Fuqiang said: "Yeah, my uncle is quite skillful, even more skillful than me."

"Put the mallet in the backpack quickly, and don't let it swing out again..."

"Aiya, can't you praise me?" Xu Laonian pouted like an angry child.

"You are awesome, I am not as good as you, okay?"

"Hahaha...that's more like it. Hey, something's wrong. I'm your father!"

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Got it."

The rice is stewed with distinct grains, and the vegetables are wild vegetables stir-fried with a mixture of animal oil and soybean oil. They are almost all vegetables, and there looks to be a lot of them before they are put into the pot, but not much left after.

Guan Lei cooked a whole pot of stir-fried wild vegetables he picked today, but only a small aluminum basin was left, which was just enough to make a hole.

After Xu Ning finished telling us about the encounter with the roe deer, Xu Laonian became excited and said, "I said I wanted to stew it that day, but you insisted on stopping me. If it really holds a grudge, it only needs to harm us once..."

He stopped talking and didn't say anything discouraging. Liu Daming said, "Brother-in-law, we have never hunted a roe deer before."

"Have you ever seen a baby roe deer before? We have been hunting for so many years, but we have never seen a baby roe deer. That's why I brought it back. I didn't expect its mother to be right in front of me."

Li Fuqiang said: "Uncle, if you put it another way, its mother would fight you to the death. If the roe deer were replaced by a human, and you were holding her child, she would definitely..."

Xu Laonian nodded: "There is nothing wrong with what he said, but the fact is that it is an animal and we are human beings! It is wrong for it to bear grudge against us!"

Is this a perverse logic? Yes and no.

From a human perspective, human life is more important than all animals and plants. According to Xu Laonian's old-fashioned traditional thinking, there is nothing more precious than human beings in the world, so he always puts himself first. If you really get hungry and see a helpless little roe deer, will you eat it? Of course you will eat it.

From the perspective of an animal, whether it holds a grudge or seeks revenge, it has its own set of principles.

Xu Ning said: "We had food and drink that day. Besides, the little roe deer itself doesn't have much meat. Why did you bring it back? If the little roe deer doesn't have a mother roe deer to protect it, it will die sooner or later."

"Oh, what should I do next time I see a female roe deer?"

"Cut it! You can't let it get to you this time."

After Xu Ning expressed his attitude, everyone nodded and looked forward to the female roe deer appearing again, because they were really greedy.

At night, the wind was high and the air was clear. Gusts of cool breeze made the moist air in the woods flow.

Xu Ning was guarding the fire and said, "Brother, if it rains, put the remaining tarpaulin over the fire to keep out the rain."

Immediately, Liu Daming, Wang Hu and Guan Lei stood up and acted together, while Xu Ning rummaged through the sack to find raincoats, flashlights and batteries. After they put the tarpaulin over the fire, he distributed a set to each of them.

"It's quite well prepared."

"Of course. Without any preparation, would I dare to lead you into the mountains?"

At around 10 o'clock, heavy rain poured down. The tarpaulin that was originally covering the fire was useless because the rain water flowing down the hillside extinguished the fire.

Xu Ning tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Listening to the sound of rain, he sat up and turned on the flashlight, then saw Xu Laonian sitting at the entrance of the tent smoking.

He glanced back and said, "It will be hard to burn the firewood tomorrow." "It's not hard to burn. Shitou has picked up a lot of dry firewood and put it under the tarpaulin. The firewood on the ground is wet, but the firewood on top is dry."

"Ah, what are we going to eat tomorrow? We've already eaten all the wild vegetables tonight."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. How can a living person be killed by holding his urine?"

Xu Laonian threw the cigarette butt into the puddle, stepped back, and said, "You keep an eye on it, I'm going to take a nap."

He lay down and closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. Xu Ning sat at the entrance of the tent with the 56- on his knees. This campsite was a great choice because it was located at the top of the hill. Even if there was a flood, it would not be flooded...

The heavy rain lasted for half an hour before it stopped. Xu Ning got up and found some firewood, reignited the fire, and lit up the area near the tent.

At around 11 o'clock, Guan Lei and Li Fuqiang woke up, and Xu Ning went to sleep. The two of them kept watch. At around 2 o'clock, Wang Hu and Liu Daming took over the watch.

It was already dawn. Liu Daming asked Wang Hu to stay by himself for a while while he went to pick some wild vegetables nearby. He filled a big pot with water, ready to boil it, let it cool down and pour it into the kettle.

Wang Hu got up and moved around holding the old stick, and from time to time he came over to see if the water in the big pot had boiled. Not long after, Guan Lei opened his eyes and woke up. He walked to the sink and rubbed his face.

"What did uncle do?"

"I'm going to prepare the dishes..."

Wang Hu was just about to continue talking when he suddenly heard a series of chirping sounds. He abruptly jumped out of the area covered by the tarpaulin, ran to the side and looked in the direction of the sound.

Guan Lei was also a little stunned. He quickly grabbed Li Fuqiang's spear and asked, "What's going on?"

In Wang Hu's sight, something was advancing rapidly from the woods and haystacks ahead. He quickly shouted, "Second brother! There's movement!"

Xu Ning, who was soundly sleeping, was awakened by the shout. He pushed his feet forward, sat up immediately, grabbed the 56 and a half beside him, and rushed out of the tent.

"What's the noise?"

When Wang Hu saw a roe deer running out, he immediately raised his gun and shouted, "Roe deer!"

At this time, Guan Lei also rushed out. Xu Laonian and Li Fuqiang, who were sleeping in the tent, had also gotten up. They poked their hands on the ground and got out of the tent, asking, "Where is it?"

Everyone was bleary-eyed at first, but after hearing the shouting, they all became alert.

Xu Ning rushed forward with the 56. He glanced to the right and saw a female roe deer rushing towards them, calling out as she ran.

And there seems to be something behind the female roe deer...

Xu Ning shouted: "Hide quickly! Disperse! Disperse! Don't gather in groups..."

Guan Lei grabbed Wang Hu's shoulders, but after hearing Xu Ning's shout, Wang Hu did not fire a gun. He followed Guan Lei's force and moved two or three meters to the left.

The female roe deer was only about twenty meters away from the crowd. As it was bright in the sky, everyone saw the roe deer. Blood was flowing from its face, and a long wound was torn on its side by its sharp claws, with half of its body dyed red with blood.

As the roe deer got closer, everyone clearly heard a loud roar.

Hey!
"Hey, fuck it! Black blind bastard!" Xu Laonian cursed with his eyes wide open.

Xu Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck! Don't fire any guns yet, scatter quickly, leave all of them behind!"

Why did he grit his teeth? His first feeling was that the mother roe deer was repaying kindness with enmity. If he hadn't stopped Xu Laonian, the roe deer and her mother would have already become food for everyone.

But when Xu Ning rushed towards the tree on the high ground with his gun, he felt something was wrong.

Because if the roe deer wanted to lure the black bear to harm them, there was no need for them to hurt themselves. Look at the blood all over the female roe deer. With its speed, it can completely avoid being attacked by the black bear...

Before Xu Ning could finish his thought, his train of thought was interrupted. Xu Laonian shouted, "You must stay! I'm craving for meat!"

When he reached the high ground, Xu Ning saw a black bear weighing more than 300 kilograms, chasing after an injured roe deer. The roe deer was injured and was not moving very fast, so the black bear could just catch up from behind.

The reason why he didn't let Wang Hu fire the gun just now was that he wanted to keep both the black bear and the roe deer. If he fired the gun, the black bear would most likely be scared away.

Xu Laonian was also very active. He ran to hide behind a tree on the left side of the camp, pointed his 56 and a half rifle at the roe deer, and shouted, "Old man, smash it! Hit the black blind man!"

After saying that, he muttered, "Damn it, is the roe deer using the bear to kill someone, or is it using the person to save its own life?"

There is nothing wrong with this statement, because the female roe deer was covered in blood, and must have been attacked by the black bear behind her. What does it mean that the roe deer lured the black bear to the camp of the Can Gang? First, the female roe deer wanted to borrow the Can Gang's gun to save her life, and second, she wanted to use the black bear's claws to avenge the beating by the Can Gang, but...

There must be a third possibility!
Going back a little over half an hour, it was a little over 4:30 in the morning.

At this moment, the downpour had stopped, and the rain was dripping along the leaves, leaving the ground covered with wet soil and branches.

In a grass nest lay a soaked little roe deer. The heavy rain drenched the little roe deer so much that it looked listless and listless.

After feeding it, the mother roe deer went out to look for food, leaving it alone in the grass nest. At this time, a black bear weighing more than 300 kilograms was walking in the forest. It looked up and saw the little roe deer lying there.

The black bear stood up and looked around, seeing nothing else, so he walked towards the little roe deer, humming from time to time. The little roe deer was frightened and trembled when he heard the sound. He wanted to stand up, but his legs and feet were not working well. He stumbled only two steps before falling sideways on the haystack.

The black bear walked up to the little roe deer and licked its head with its tongue. The little roe deer grimaced and screamed in pain. The black bear seemed to have had enough fun, so it raised its front legs and pressed on the little roe deer's abdomen, opening its big mouth and biting the little roe deer's neck. However, before it could bite, the little roe deer was crushed to death by its front paws.

At this moment, the female roe deer suddenly jumped out from the woods, and rushed towards the black bear, making coughing sounds from her mouth. The black bear raised his head, grinned and called out, but the female roe deer had already rushed to it, so it had to raise its front paws and wave away.

A slap passed by the female roe deer's head, leaving a cut on its face. The female roe deer kicked the black bear hard with its four hooves, and after landing, it pounced on it again.

However, although the black bear is clumsy, it is not a fool. After feeling the pain on its body, it roared and swung its palm again, directly cutting a long gash on the side of the female roe deer!

The mother roe deer staggered and almost fell. Seeing that the black bear had abandoned its child, it ran towards the gang camp. The black bear chased it relentlessly, unwilling to give up the meat at its doorstep. After all, the baby roe deer was skinny and had little meat on its body. How could it be as plump as the mother roe deer weighing over 100 pounds?

As for why the female roe deer ran to the camp, no one knew. Perhaps it was because it was familiar with the route to the camp and it was a subconscious action...

The black bear was furious and went crazy when he smelled the blood. He was determined to bring the female roe deer to justice!

After running about three or four miles, they arrived at the gang camp.

At this time, everyone had raised their guns to guard against it. Just as the female roe deer rushed to the open space in the camp, its front legs slipped and it fell to the ground in an instant, flattening the weeds on the ground. It slid forward two or three meters before stopping.

The black bear behind it was stunned, and dug the ground with its four claws as if it wanted to stop. However, Xu Ning and others were prepared. He pointed the 56 and a half rifle at the black bear's head and pulled the trigger directly, firing three shots in succession!
