Chapter 163 Killing Hei Xiazi Cang

"The sawer from the second work team? Who is it? Uncle Zhang or Li Zhengtian?"

"That's not right. That's all mechanized production over there. Those machines are constantly roaring; even if there were bears, they would have run away long ago."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping felt something was amiss. Could one really encounter a black bear while logging in the mountains?

Those work teams were all better than the educated youth teams; they all used mechanized operations, with chainsaws, tractors, and winches.

These machines are making a loud rumbling noise, how could a black bear possibly injure someone?

"It's not Uncle Zhang, it's Li Zhengtian."

The accident didn't happen in the logging area; it seems to have occurred quite far away from it.

I heard from others that Li Zhengtian led his assistant, who is also his brother Li Zhengping, into the mountains to kill Heixiazi Cang.

For some reason, not only did they kill everyone, but Li Zhengtian was also attacked by Hei Xiazi and seriously injured.

Li Zhengping ran back for help, and the people from the Second Work Team rushed over and rescued Li Zhengtian. He's now being treated at the Forestry Bureau Hospital.

Chen Weiguo, who lived in Lengchang at the foot of the mountain, knew the details quite well.

Normally, a work team should have two sawers, one for the rope and one for the tractor, and two tractor drivers.

As mentioned before, these sawers work quickly, often cutting down several days' worth of timber in one go, and then they go off to do other work.

For example, hunting or collecting pine nuts.

Li Zhengtian was a chainsaw operator in the second work team.

This man is twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, strong and capable, and works quickly and efficiently.

He could cut down enough timber in a day to supply the tractor drivers for several days, so he would often collect timber for a few days and then go out into the forest to find other timber.

The forest here is large and far from the logging camp, so no one comes here to collect pine nuts.

In the dead of winter, the pine nuts on the trees were completely dry and would fall off at the slightest touch.

So some people don't bother climbing to the top of the tree to collect pine nuts; instead, they tie firecrackers to the trunk and light them.

Using the shockwave from the cannon explosion, the pine cones on the tree were shaken down.

In the dead of winter, when the ground is covered in snow, the falling pine cones simply create a crater in the snow, and the people underneath can just pick them up from the crater.

Relatively speaking, this method of work is faster than climbing trees to harvest pine cones.

Li Zhengtian used to take his assistants to collect pine cones. At first, they went to a nearby place, but later they went further away.

As a result, they found a bear's den in the woods.

Li Zhengtian was quite shrewd; he discovered the Black Bear Warehouse but didn't make a fuss, only sharing the information with his assistant, his younger brother Li Zhengping.

The two brothers didn't have guns, nor did they have the ability to borrow guns from the security department, so they decided to use the old method to kill Hei Xiazi Cang.

When the time comes, once we get the bear bile and sell it, the two brothers will keep it and won't have to share it with anyone else.

Killing the Black Bear Warehouse sounds simple, but it's actually not easy to do. If you don't understand any step, you'll end up killing everything.

This time, when the black bear crawled out of the tree hole, Li Zhengtian and his brother were supposed to swing their big axes and chop it on the black bear's head.

The bear cub that has just emerged from the tree hole moves slowly. If you strike it accurately, two consecutive blows will basically finish it off.

However, Li Zhengtian had no experience killing Hei Xiazi. He was terrified by Hei Xiazi's roar, and his hand trembled, slowing his movements.

The bear poked most of its body out of the tree hole, and the axe struck the bear in the back.

The bear was also armored on its back. Although the large axe used for cutting branches was sharp, it couldn't cause much damage to the bear's back, which was covered with pine resin and gravel.

Black Bear got angry immediately and jumped down from the tree hole, slapping Li Zhengtian and his brother away.

Li Zhengtian was in a better position, his injuries weren't serious, but Li Zhengping was immediately tackled by Hei Xiazi.

Luckily, they were brothers. When Li Zhengtian saw this, he picked up his axe and went to save his brother.

As a result, the bear went straight for him and slapped him again, leaving Li Zhengtian severely injured and lying on the ground.

Li Zhengping struggled to get up from the ground. Seeing the situation, he knew that rushing forward again would be useless, so he ran back to the logging area with his injuries and shouted for help.

By the time he called for reinforcements, Li Zhengtian had already been badly injured by the black bear, who had clawed and bitten him.

The group rescued Li Zhengtian and quickly carried him down the mountain to the hospital.

Chen Weiguo told Sheng Xiping and the others what he had heard. After hearing this, Sheng Xiping couldn't help but shake his head.

This is truly a case of "when people are determined to court disaster, no one can stop them."

Is it possible for just anyone to blind a bear? If things go wrong, someone could die.

"What a fool! Why not go hunting instead of logging?" Sheng Xiping shook his head and sighed.

"Who knows what they were thinking? Such good-looking guys went off to kill Black Bear Warehouse."

Chen Weiguo actually wanted to say that he was just envious after seeing them go hunting in the mountains and make a lot of money and meat.

That autumn, Sheng Xiping and a few of his buddies killed two black bears and several wild boars.

In addition, there were roe deer and lynx, and they got both meat and money; they didn't skimp on any of them.

Who among those people at the forest farm isn't envious?

Countless people secretly hope that they might encounter a wild boar or a black bear in the mountains, kill it, and eat it.

"Go ahead and do it. You'll feel better once something goes wrong." Sheng Xiping shook his head and didn't say anything more.

"Let's go, let's get to work. There's not much left in this logging area. We have to finish logging and put everything away before the New Year holiday."

After the New Year, it will be slid down to Guileng, and then Qinglin and the rest will be over.

Sheng Xiping was too lazy to pay attention to those overconfident people. Let them do whatever they want; they brought it on themselves.

For him, the wood in front of him was the real business.

"Brother Xiping, should we take the dog and go kill that bear?" Zhang Zhijun couldn't help but ask.

Sheng Xiping glared at Zhang Zhijun, "Haven't you heard that the black bear pounced on Li Zhengtian? You still dare to look after it?"

"Just keep cutting down the trees quietly, don't get involved in those things."

This kid, after going up the mountain a few times that autumn, has become quite bold. He even went up the mountain and knocked out a black bear? He's dreaming.

After being scolded by Sheng Xiping, Zhang Zhijun scratched his head and chuckled, "Get to work, get to work."

That's a black bear! Last time, a black bear gallbladder sold for over 500 yuan. Who wouldn't be tempted by that?

It's normal for Zhang Zhijun to be a bit shrewd since he's young; who wouldn't be interested in money?

In fact, not only Zhang Zhijun was tempted, but Chen Weiguo and Wang Jianshe were also quite envious. However, they both knew Sheng Xiping's temper, so they kept quiet.

"Yes, let's get to work, let's get to work." Wang Jianshe waved his hand, grabbed Zhang Zhijun, and hurried off to prune the branches.

Their work is different from those other construction teams; they don't earn money by just going through the motions.

Let's forget about all those fancy ideas and just stick to logging and making money.

Bear gallbladders are valuable, but if something goes wrong, you could lose your life.

Li Zhengtian's life is in danger this time. It's unknown whether he can be saved if he is sent to the Forestry Bureau Hospital.
