Ghost Blowing Lantern II - Chapter 11 Chopping off the palms and removing the gallbladder (Part 2)

The human bear’s eyelids are extremely long. When it squints, the long eyelids will fall down. It takes some trouble to open them again. At this moment, the human bear hugs the birch sleeve, thinking it is hugging the fat man, and licks it randomly. , but something didn’t feel right. He raised his paws and raised his eyelids. He saw that he was hugging a piece of rotten wood. He suddenly became more angry and roared. The bear’s roar brought a fishy wind that echoed throughout the fields, even in the distant valleys. respond.

I held up my hunting fork and went to pick up the fat man. I caught up with the fat man to escape, and I was in front of the bear. I was suddenly shocked by the bear’s sound, and my feet suddenly felt weak. This was my first time. For the first time, I felt how vulnerable human beings were in the face of the huge, rough and primitive power. At this moment, I saw the bear-man standing upright with teeth and claws, and rushed towards it. How dare I stand up to it? I dragged my hunting fork backwards, turned around and ran away.

In this case, Yanzi did not dare to shoot easily. The hunting rifle used by hunters in the mountains is a very primitive firearm. Even if this kind of gun is shot close to the head, it is impossible to knock down a giant bear with one shot. The gunshot wound On the contrary, it will increase its violence. A mad bear with gunshot wounds can often tear the entire cow into pieces, which will make the situation even more difficult to deal with.

The man-bear failed to pounce on anyone three or four times. He went crazy after being provoked and started chasing us around the big tree. I also lost my dog-skin hat and was covered in hot sweat. After running a few laps, I gradually calmed down. When we came down, we saw a man and a bear colliding in the middle of the dense forest and chasing us from the west. Although we could temporarily escape by relying on the thick trees in the dense forest, our human power was limited after all. After a long time, we had to be caught by it, so we ran while Tell Fat Man and Swallow to put on the “sticky sleeve” quickly.

The swallow caught them all, picked up a few scattered yellow rice flour sticky bean buns on the ground, and threw them at the man-bear. Seeing something coming towards him, the man-bear didn’t care. He waved his bear paws and grabbed them randomly, pinching the sticky bean buns. The outside of the sticky bean bun was smooth because of the freezing weather, but the inside was still soft and sticky. The bear smelled the sweet smell, picked up the sticky bean bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

The human bear is stupid. After eating the sticky bean buns, he forgot to chase people away. He lowered his head and just picked them up. We were able to take a breather for a while. We also quickly used the dog skin hat to pick up the yellow rice flour sticky bean buns. When the hat was full, we carried it and threw it to the human bear. Next to him, the human bear’s hands were covered with sticky noodles. It ate happily, squinting its eyes when it was happy, and its big eyelids suddenly drooped to cover its eyes, so it habitually opened its eyelids with its hands, but on its hands There were a lot of sticky bean bags stuck to it, and now they all stuck to its eyelids. The more it lowered its eyelids, the harder it became to open them, and it immediately lost its vision. The soles of its feet were round, and it could stand upright for a long time. When sitting, There is no need to hold the ground with the front palm, and he doesn’t care where he is at the moment. He just lies on the ground and pulls his eyelids fiercely.

I never expected that this “sticky trap” would work so well. When I saw the bear sitting on the ground, he was just trying to pull his own eyelids. This opportunity was too good to miss, so I quickly made a gesture to Fatty and Yanzi, and the three of them each He quickly outflanked the bear with weapons from the front, back and left. The fat man raised the mountain ax for logging, holding the long ax handle with both hands. He rounded the circle and used the force of “Strength to conquer Huashan” to chop off the bear’s head. At the same time, I Following him, he stabbed the bear in the eye with his hunting fork. Yanzi also pointed his hunting rifle at the bear’s ear from the side and blasted it through the ear with a musket.

We all tried our best, and even if we couldn’t kill the man-bear instantly with a thunderous blow, we still had to take away its ears, eyes, and senses in one fell swoop, making it difficult for it to hurt anyone. Under this joint attack that risked life and death, we could only hear the man-bear’s long and miserable screams. Yelling, the brain was pierced and the head was split, and the body fell down with a roar like a mountain. It was not clear whether it was brain matter or bone fragments. Large areas of pink blood foam were scattered on the snow, like flowers blooming. The three of us were flying with blood and flesh in front of our eyes. We thought that the man-bear would definitely die now. Unexpectedly, the man-bear was so tough. The bear’s head was so bloody and bloody that we couldn’t even distinguish its features. It still stood up suddenly and howled wildly. He rushed forward a few steps, knocked down a big tree, and then fell to the ground, with blood gushing from his head. His limbs were thrashing and gradually stopped moving. The entire forest was immediately immersed in the noise of life and death struggle. Silence.

We originally planned to have one of us put a birch sleeve on his arm, take some yellow rice flour sticky bean buns, put his arm into the bear’s cave, take off the “sticky sleeve”, and wait until the bear’s eyes were stuck before poking it. He died in the narrow bear cave, but he didn’t expect that the giant bear did not stay in the bear cave. There was a sudden encounter. The process was short but thrilling. Although it ended in the death of the man and the bear, the death of the God of Death had just happened. The shadow also hung over our heads. If we had been less courageous at that time and just wanted to escape for our lives without being able to fight back in time, it would be humans instead of bears lying on the ground now.

The three of us had just lost our strength in the fight, our minds went blank, our hearts were beating wildly, and we lay sprawled on the ground. We couldn’t believe that we had actually hunted a giant bear in front of us, and we looked at the large snowflakes falling from the ground. The sky was rising and falling, and I realized that it had started snowing at some point. I had to take out the fresh bear bile as soon as the bear had just died. I managed to hold on, got up from the snow, and poked the bear corpse with a hunting fork. After confirming that it was completely dead, the three of them began to chop the bear’s paws and remove its bile.

The most valuable thing on a human bear is its paw and bile, followed by the whole bear skin. I heard before that there are bear paws and orangutan lips among mountain treasures, which are very expensive delicacies, so I planned to chop them off. He took two bear paws back, but Yanzi said that only one bear paw was edible, because every time the severe winter came, the man-bear would hide in the cave, not moving, not eating, and entering a half-dead state of sleep. During this period, , it keeps licking the bear paw with its tongue. The bear paw it licks has the highest nutritional value, but the other paw usually covers its buttocks in winter, so it is inedible. In addition, bear skin is also very special. The human bear has a pure yang body and thick hair. Men in the prime of life cannot wear bear skin jackets, and it is only suitable for the elderly and infirm.

I took the gallbladder to treat the granddaughter of the old man Knocking the Mountain. I chopped up a bear paw and kept it until the Spring Festival. I took it to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for a large number of new year’s goods. This time I really came back with a full load. If I carry the bear back, the party secretary will definitely know it. They looked at us with admiration, but with the strength of the three of us, it was impossible to drag the whole giant bear back, throw it in the forest and find helpers. The bear’s carcass must have been picked up by the wolves when it came back, and it was just thrown away. What a pity.

I came up with an idea. I simply cut the human bear into several large pieces of bear meat, threw it into the bear cave and hid it, and then moved stones to seal the entrance of the cave. It was snowing heavily just in time, so I didn’t have to worry about the bear meat rotting and going bad. Plenty of time to go to the villages to find help. Both Fatty and Yanzi thought this was a feasible strategy, so I lit a pine oil torch and went to explore the tree hole to see if there was any other exit, so as not to block the front door and open the back door.

But as soon as I leaned into the tree hole and took a look, I found that the hole under the tree was big and deep, and the holes underneath extended in all directions. It seemed that there were holes under many big trees in the forest. I didn’t dare to enter lightly, so I immediately returned to the tree hole. Outside, I was just taking out the bile and chopping my palms, but had no idea of ​​cleaning the battlefield. Now I took a closer look at several old trees on the ground. They had been pulled out or bumped by bears in the fierce battle just now. Some were broken, and some were actually broken. It was uprooted. From the soil where the tree roots were pulled out, two or three half-sections of stone men and stone beasts were vaguely exposed, with ferocious and strange faces.

I saw it strangely, and wanted to go back and ask Yanzi why there were these “four olds” in the deep mountains and old forests. When I turned around, I realized that Yanzi was also looking at those stone beasts intently, her face was frighteningly white, as if she had seen something more terrifying than the killer bear. Before I could ask her, she said to me and Fatty in a trembling voice. : “No, this is a ghost in the mountains… a ghost government office! Run… run away.”
