Chapter 8: Chopping off the palm and plucking out the guts (above)

Dead thousand year old tree, looks make people feel very strange, strange in this tree and the surrounding environment is not coordinated, although not the winter season, but the early arrival of snowfall, so that the whole forest into a silver world, only this tree near the snow, and the tree hole piled up with precious matsutake mushrooms and a variety of fruits and sauces, I began to see the trunk of the big hole, I thought that this is a bear cave, but close to the But when I got closer, I didn’t smell the fishy odor and couldn’t help but get suspicious.

I just want to open my mouth to ask the swallow this withered tree near the hole how no snow, swallow see I want to speak, hastily rushed to me waved his hand: “small voice, this ga is a bear cave, human bears, although stupid, but good at camping nests, not like the general bear blind man’s nest and smelly and damp fishy gas forced people.” Because the bear cave face hot, so there is no snow around the old tree, around a circle of dead tree holes without snow, but also piled up so many matsutake mushrooms, this is the surface is certainly a bear’s den. I saw the swallow judged the bear cave orientation, then did not dare to say, made a gesture to point to a nearby grass nest, the three quietly dive over, proceed to prepare the bear hunting guys.

Hunting and killing bears in the mountains, is the most dangerous thing, need to dare to directly face the murder of bears and courage, hunters usually do not dare to move the bears, not because of the lack of courage, only to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, hunting is entirely for survival, sets of foxes and shoot rabbits can make a living, and why not do those who are not to death until life hook it is really not guilty of quite risky.

Now we are going to risk hunting bears, the way has been discussed, is according to the mountain hunters ancestors uploaded down the old law, the hunters on the set of hunting a variety of crafts, are to be added to the “set of” the word named name, the set of foxes and yellow skins of the “skin hundun”, called the “mingtun set”, “mingtun set”. “Mixed set”; hunting bears with sticky bean bags called “sticky set”. Although the snow has not disappeared, but the climate in the mountains is not too cold, we carry into the mountains a large number of yellow rice flour sticky bean bags, are wrapped tightly with warm dog skin mattress, and did not freeze, which saves some unnecessary trouble.

I took out a few birch made sleeve handed to the hands of the fat man, said to him: “Comrade Wang Kaixuan, the organization to test your time has come, you on it.” Fatty hurriedly excused himself, “In fact, looking at your performance in various historical periods, as well as your own objective conditions, you are more suitable than me to complete this arduous and honorable task, I think it’s better for you to go on Lao Hu, I’ll cover you at the back.”

Swallow said: “Don’t argue, this job a person can’t whole, fat meat thick, strength is also big, suitable to go as bait, beard hand steady, with me to take the axe in the tree hole side to find an opportunity to lay hands on, remember don’t panic, and when you lay hands on it must not be soft, have to light the whole of the dead, in case of the momentum is not right, we will escape, escape when never straight to the ……”

We are away from the bear cave in the grass nest, discussing how how to do, but just said half, felt behind the red pine violently shook two, I hurriedly turned back to look, deep forest, around in addition to the grass is the tree, nothing else, but the tree is indeed in the slightly shaking, earthquake is not? Just thinking, I saw that the big red pine is another burst of violent trembling, needles and leaves and hanging on the branches of the snow fell down one after another, as if the tree has what huge object in the stupid.

Raise his head and look upwards, can be a big deal, it turned out that a large hairy human bear is lying in the red pine above, it lowered its head, also in the blood red eyes looking at us, red eyes, coupled with long arms, as well as sharp claws, have shown its identity, this is the most horrible human bears in the “killer bears”, the mountain people say that human bears eat human brains, the eyes will be able to kill the bear, and the bear will be able to eat the human brain. After eating human brains, eyes will turn red, and then do not want to eat anything, all day long want to eat human flesh, in fact, the red eyes of the human bears, is due to the weather seasonal disorders and become doubly violent and ferocious than usual.

Human bear in the tree slightly with both arms tightly holding the trunk, a number of people embrace the red pines by the weight of the bear body pressure a burst of trembling, the bear probably wants to slip directly down the tree, but the mountain bear climbing trees know that I do not know the next, it will not go down only on the tree, can only be a hand directly down, usually it so climb to the top of the tree, and then fall from the tree, over and over again, it is usually a kind of recreation, but also to practice it a simple and healthy brute strength, polishing thick skin. This is a kind of entertainment for him, and also a way to practice his brute strength and polish his thick skin.

We were stunned by this situation, just now just pay attention to the movement of the bear cave in the dead tree, which had thought that although the mountain snow, but the season is wrong, the human bears have not been day and night in the cave cat winter, and that the human bears suddenly found someone under the tree, eager to add to the human brains, a rush, seems to forget how to get out of the tree, holding the treetop trunk constantly swaying.

Although the red pine is thick, also can not hold the human bear so tossing, shaking a few shakes, it will be in a burst of “click ballast” in the sound of the break open, we three people at this time from the shock back to God, hastily fell into the desert scattered to avoid, only to see the human bear wrapped in a pine branch fell heavily to the ground, the snow on the ground was provoked by a white mist, although the human bear is thick skin and flesh, but it is a fall down the tree, the human bear is a thick skin and flesh, but it is a fall down the tree, it is a fall down the tree. But it is a fall down the tree, by the branches of the tree pine branches even cut with a tie, but also since the pain is not light, roar up, vibration of the pine forest.

We wear very thick clothes, action extraordinarily bulky, rolled on the ground to dodge broken pine trees, ready to hunt bear equipment scattered all over the place, the bear born sex fierce, holding the red pine branches and trunks from the heights of the fall also did not get hurt, humongous and up, people standing pounced on the nearest fat man.

The fat man was unprepared, the first to face the murderous bear, his usual kind of “five continents, look around the world,” the fearlessness of the spirit, at this time half is not left, rolling in the snow and crawling only want to run away, under the panic, did not run out of a step, and then fell on top of the snow.

Climb up again, the bear has pounced in front, a claw swing down, the fat man behind the cotton jacket will be open flowers, good in his panic, he still remembered the art of hunting bears, casually grabbed the birch socket rolled down beside him, but just turned back to be immediately pressed by the bear, the bear pounced on the person immediately after the joy of squinting up, it is customary to do the next action is to be full of barbed tongue to lick the human head to suck the living person’s blood from a living person’s brain.

Some hunters say that human bears do this, not greedy for human blood and brains, but think that this thing is so good-looking? Skin light meat smooth, so smiling tongue out to lick, no matter what its motives, anyway, the living by it lick a bite will be quasi to return to the place, I see the fat man in a critical situation, grabbed the ground of the hunting fork, intends to rush up to save people.

At this time, Swallow also climbed up from the snow, saw the human bear wrapped around the fat man, and quickly shouted to remind him: “Quickly use the birch sleeve to get out!” Fatty was a bear embrace, the pain of the bones are almost broken, see the bear squinted and opened his mouth, a tongue licked over, almost smoked half dead by the fishy and evil gas in its mouth, but he is also very clear, life and death which still care about the stench of pain, hastily put the birch sleeve to his head and the bear tongue in the middle of the block, the bear’s hot tongue licked in the wooden tube, a large piece of bark was immediately brought down by its tongue, Fatty followed the momentum of the birch sleeve to the middle of the wooden tube, the bear’s hot tongue licked in the wooden tube, a large piece of bark immediately by it tongue Brought down, the fat man passed along, the entire birch sleeve into the human bear’s arms, and took the opportunity to get out.
