Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 535: Even the Edge Is Enough
Wang An knew that his body was shaking, but even though he knew it, his body was not under the control of his brain at all.

So, at this moment, Wang An was shaking all over as if he was sifting chaff, or as if he was in the coldest days of winter with no clothes on.

To be honest, this feeling of uncontrollable shivering all over is quite uncomfortable.

Zhang Shuya noticed Wang An's current state, and grabbed Wang An's arm with a distressed look on her face, and comforted Wang An softly:
"It's okay, Xiao An, my elder sister is here, it's okay now."

At this moment, Zhang Shuya no longer had the toughness she had before. Although Zhang Shuya looked younger than Wang An, her responsibility as an eldest sister was truly revealed at this moment.

Wang An forced a smile and said:

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry, big sister."

Soon after, everyone gathered around, and it was obvious that everyone's eyes were filled with worry.

To be honest, an emergency like this was really unexpected.

Although everyone knew that it was not safe in the deep mountains, no one could have imagined that Wang An could strangely run into a big bear just when he was taking a shit and replacing the shovel handle with another one.

The most important thing is that he was almost killed by the big bear.

After a while, Wang An recovered a lot. Seeing everyone's concerned eyes, he smiled and said to them:
"Don't watch over me, I'm fine, you just scared me."

Upon hearing this, Feng Chengmin walked forward and began to examine Wang An. However, this kind of examination just involved pinching Wang An's arms, legs, ribs and other places, and asking "Does it hurt here?" and "Does it hurt where?" while pinching.

In fact, this is also the habit of mountain people, because when people are strongly stimulated, their adrenaline will soar, which is what the locals often say "when the blood is hot."

When a person is in this state, the sensory nerves are not very developed, which means that even if there is something wrong with his body, he cannot feel it.

It's like when you're in a fight and you're so angry that your legs and arms are broken, but you still fight hard and don't feel any pain at all.

But when the pain has completely subsided, you will find that the injured area is so serious that it is difficult to treat.

Therefore, Feng Chengmin's approach is to prevent this situation from happening in advance.

You have to know that whether it is normal mountain hunting or gold panning at this time, you are in the deep mountains and forests. If some kind of injury occurs, there is really nothing you can do.

After Feng Chengmin had finished kneading everything and Wang An's answer was "it doesn't hurt", Feng Chengmin finally felt relieved, but he still asked:
"Think carefully about whether you have touched anything. This is no joke. That big beast will be in trouble if it even touches the edge."

Wang An said with a smile: "It's really okay. The bear actually tripped and fell before it pounced on me. It was pretty unlucky for it. Hahahaha."

Feng Chengmin then smiled and joked:
"You are really awesome, you can make trouble just by taking a shit!"

As soon as Feng Chengmin finished speaking, everyone looked at Wang An and laughed. This kind of thing really only happens once in a century.

Then, Feng Chengmin patted Wang An on the shoulder and said with emotion:

"Oh my! It's such a blessing. If something really happened, how would I explain it to your parents every day?"

It was obvious that Feng Chengmin was also worried and scared. Wang An smiled and comforted Feng Chengmin:

"Don't worry, uncle. Nothing will happen."

Feng Chengmin nodded, then turned and walked towards Daxiongba.

After confirming that Wang An was really fine, everyone stood up and followed Feng Chengmin.

Although Wang An's legs were still a little weak, he was basically fine and walked forward.

When they arrived in front of the big bear, everyone looked at the huge creature in front of them and exclaimed in admiration.

Wu Dong said to He Liang and Ma Guoqiang:
"Oh my god, this big brown bear is much bigger than the one we encountered last time." He Liang suddenly said with emotion:

"Yeah, if we hadn't run into Xiao An that time, the three of us would have almost died."

Ma Guoqiang echoed:

"Well, I swore to myself that I would never go hunting again without a hunting expert."

The three of them were talking about the time they went into the mountains to hunt a bear. Wang Shuai, Feng Chengmin and others were also discussing the matter of the big bear.

I only heard Wang Shuai ask curiously:
"Uncle, you have been hunting for so many years. Have you ever seen such a big brown bear?"

The reason why Wang Shuai called Feng Chengmin "old uncle" was because Feng Chengmin was Wang An's relative, and Wang Shuai had to follow Wang An and call him that.

In the Northeast, if you meet a friend's relative among friends of the same generation who have a good relationship and you don't know the friend's relative yet, you usually follow your friend and call the relative by that name.

Therefore, not only Wang Shuai called Feng Chengmin "old uncle", but Wu Dong, Zhang Shuya and others also had to call Feng Chengmin "old uncle".

These are a local etiquette.

Feng Chengmin heard Wang Shuai's question, thought for a moment and said:

"I fought with him once, that was three years ago. My oldest brother, my second oldest brother and I fought with him. I've never seen one this big since."

Upon hearing this, Sun Nian immediately asked curiously:

"Uncle, are you the 'gunner'?"

When Feng Chengmin heard this, his expression was stunned for a moment, because these words really touched a painful spot in Feng Chengmin's heart.

So Feng Chengmin smiled awkwardly and said:

"No, I've been hunting for so many years, but I haven't come across any big claws or leopards."

After Feng Chengmin finished speaking, he looked at Wang An with envy, and then fell silent.

Wang An noticed Feng Chengmin's expression, but said nothing because there was no way to talk about such things.

The main thing is that Wang An also doesn’t know why the standard for measuring a “gunner” is to have killed a tiger or a leopard.

As long as you have never killed one of these two things, you can never be called a real "gunner".

You have to know that with Feng Chengmin's hunting ability and hunting skills, as well as Feng Chengmin's marksmanship, he is no worse than any "gunner".

At the very least, Wang An feels inferior to him.

Looking at the big bear in front of him, Wang An said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"Xue Li, Lao Wu, the two of you go cut some thick wooden poles, and let's turn this big bear over. Then, take out the gallbladder quickly, or it will melt in a little while."

Mu Xueli and Wang Li heard this and agreed almost at the same time:

"Yes, brother-in-law (Okay, fourth brother)."

The two of them talked and then left together, and seeing this, Wang Shuai and Wu Dong followed them.
