Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 78: The Gratitude Report
After Wang Dashan woke up, he lowered his head and saw Zhao Min who was sleeping beside the bed. Looking at the well-bandaged wound on his feet, he couldn't help feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe.

Thinking of what happened when he entered the mountain this time, Wang Dashan still had lingering fears, but he did not expect to meet a black bear.

It stands to reason that now that it has entered late autumn, the bear should have already hibernated, but for some reason this bear did not hibernate.

And it also found Wang Dashan, and after a roar, it ran towards him.

Wang Dashan has no escape, he can only meet it head-on.

Wang Dashan himself resisted desperately, and finally killed the black bear, but there were many wounds on his body, the most deadly being the bite on his ankle.

Right now, Wang Dashan's face was injured, and he couldn't drag it down from the mountain at all. He could only drag his feet and rush to the small wooden house. He lost too much blood and passed out all of a sudden.

Wang Dashan who woke up was full of gratitude to Zhao Min, this wound must have been healed by Zhao Min's sister, if it wasn't for her, maybe he would have died yesterday.

Wang Dashan's foot was seriously injured and he couldn't walk at all. Zhao Min slept soundly lying on the bedside again. He couldn't bear to wake her up, so he could only lie on the bed and wait for her to wake up.

It was past noon when Zhao Min woke up, and before he opened his eyes, he straightened up from the bed, stretched his waist, and felt sore all over his body.

Sure enough, the quality of sleep lying on the side of the bed is really bad!
After opening his eyes, Zhao Min saw Wang Dashan who had opened his eyes, only a pair of eyes were exposed on his bearded face.

A flash of joy flashed in Zhao Min's heart, and he exclaimed, "Brother Wang, you're awake!"

After Wang Dashan saw that she had woken up, he quickly thanked her: "Thanks to you, sister, otherwise, brother might not be able to survive yesterday."

Zhao Min felt a little embarrassed by his praise, and scratched his head: "What are you talking about, Brother Wang, if you want to thank you, thank yourself, if you hadn't saved me a few days ago, I would have lost my life again today." How can I save you? So good people get rewarded.”

At this moment, there was a gurgling sound from Zhao Min's stomach, which made Zhao Min a little embarrassed, and stood up touching his empty stomach.

"Brother Wang, are you hungry too? I'll make some food." After speaking, Zhao Min walked out of the wooden house, as if fleeing.

Wang Dashan has injured one foot now, and walking is a problem, but he is thinking about the bear he killed that day.

"The bear skin must be peeled off within three days. If it takes a long time, the bear carcass will start to rot. It's not easy to peel off. The smell is really hard to get rid of."

After listening to his words, Zhao Min looked at some wooden boards piled up next to him, and an idea came to his mind.

Sitting in the yard basking in the sun, Wang Dashan saw Zhao Min take out a piece of wood from the pile of wood, put it on the table, then turned around and went to the nearby shed, and took out a saw.

Wang Dashan was puzzled: "Sister, what are you doing?"

Zhao Min took the saw and sawed the board on the table, and replied without looking back.

"Brother Wang, I'll make you a crutch, so it will be easier for you to move around."

After speaking, Zhao Min buried himself in his work.

Although the wood is not very thick, it is not easy hard work for a weak woman like Zhao Min.

Zhao Min did it all afternoon, until it was almost dark, and only then did he have a preliminary shape.

But the surface of the crutch was very rough, Zhao Min was worried about scratching Wang Dashan's hand, so he got up and went to the room to get some rags, wrapped the crutch around it, and then brought the crutch to Wang Dashan with satisfaction.

Zhao Min patted his crutch proudly: "Brother Wang, stand up and try."

With the support of Zhao Min, Wang Dashan stood up, put his injured left leg on a piece of wood protruding from the crutch, walked a few steps, and felt very satisfied: "Sister, I didn't expect that you still have This is the time for ingenuity."

Zhao Min was a little embarrassed by his praise, and lowered his head: "Tomorrow, I will go into the mountain with you, and go to bring the bear back."

Brother Wang had a different opinion: "How can such a heavy bear be carried back? Tomorrow it will be fine to peel off the bear's skin on the spot with a knife. It will take my boss's effort to kill the bear."

Fortunately, the bear's body was not far from the cabin. Zhao Min supported Wang Dashan who was on crutches and walked slowly.

After arriving at the destination and seeing the bear's body, Zhao Min couldn't help feeling admiration for Wang Dashan in his heart.

I saw that it was a black bear, which was a head taller than Wang Dashan. It was really hard to imagine how he killed this ferocious beast.

After seeing the black bear's body, Wang Dashan's eyes flashed with surprise: "Quick! Sister, help me to the side."

I saw that Wang Dashan sat down next to the bear's corpse, although the movement of one foot was restricted, he peeled off the whole bear's skin very neatly.

Zhao Min looked at this bloody scene, but found that he didn't feel any nausea and vomiting at all, as if he was used to such scenes.

Although it's just a bear skin, it's still the big one. Zhao Min lowered his head and dragged it with some difficulty.

Wang Dashan on the side saw her struggling: "Sister, give it to me."

Zhao Min shook his head resolutely: "Brother Wang, don't worry about me, I can drag it by myself, take care of yourself and be careful not to fall."

Seeing her so strong, Wang Dashan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that his foot was injured and he couldn't help her. He obeyed her and walked down the mountain carefully, trying not to cause trouble for Zhao Min.

After finally returning to the cabin, Zhao Min’s bear skin was drying in the yard. He went to the kitchen, took a scoop of water, drank it, sat on the bamboo chair in the yard, rested for a while, and finally I felt myself gain some strength.

Wang Dashan, who was sitting on the side, looked at Zhao Min's exhausted appearance, and felt very guilty: "Sister, you really worked hard today."

Zhao Min didn't find it hard, he lost his memory, but Wang Dashan was willing to take him in, living here for nothing every day.

Fortunately, Wang Dashan was very hardworking and had stored a lot of meat and food before he was injured. Zhao Min also air-dried the meat, which can be preserved for a long time.

Although Wang Dashan was injured on his foot and could no longer continue hunting in the mountains, the stored grain was more than enough for two people to survive the winter.
