"Silly boy, look at the way you ask, I am an old hunter.
The pistol I use, except for the barrel which was removed from a genuine gun, all other parts are made by myself."
Juebazi, also known as Duyijue or Dujiaoniu, is a homemade pistol used by the militia of the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War.
This thing is very clumsy. When loading, you have to open the chamber and insert the bullet from the rear. Each time you pull the bolt, only one bullet is fired.
If you can't kill the blind bear with one shot, the beast won't give you a second chance to reload!
After all, the person was sleeping soundly in the tree hole, but you insisted on waking him up with a whip and wanted to take his life. Anyone would have to defend themselves with their life.
Seriously, in most people's understanding, a blind bear hiding in a warehouse is hibernating. After falling into a deep sleep, it is no longer concerned with worldly affairs.
But in fact, it is not so. When the blind bear is hiding in the warehouse, it looks like it is sleeping, but in fact it is not sleeping soundly and is in a semi-hibernation state.
During this process, the blind bear would occasionally wake up due to hunger, lick his right paw a few times to replenish his energy, and then turn over and continue to snore.
Anyone who has eaten bear paws knows that among the four paws, the right front paw is the most delicious.
...
...
Because before hiding in the warehouse, the blind bear would marinate his right paw with wild fruits, honey, etc.
I have never seen a bear paw, let alone eaten one, so I don’t know if this statement is true.
After listening to Zhao Dahan, Zhuzi shook his head and said:
"Uncle, you have the guts to open a bear warehouse with the equipment you have. You are really brave.
Look at my broken arm. It was caused by another mountain guard failing to open the warehouse, and I was bitten by a mad bear when I rushed to rescue him.
Therefore, for safety reasons, I suggest that you do not let Director Zhao go with you.
This old forest is full of uncertainties. We can’t afford if something unexpected happens to you.”
Zhuzi's words were meant sincerely for Director Zhao's own good, but Director Zhao thought that he was looking down on him.
He directly took out a leadership style and said:
"Comrade Zhuzi, this is settled.
I must kill this big bear with my own hands to avenge my two nephews."
Zhuzi wanted to try to persuade him, but Li Yuemin pulled his sleeve and signaled him to shut up.
"Well, Director Zhao, you can have some tea here with my father-in-law and the others.
My second brother and I will go and prepare, and we will meet here in an hour."
After Li Yuemin finished speaking, he pulled Zhuzi and walked out of the brigade headquarters.
"Second brother, I heard that Director Zhao is an old revolutionary who fought hard in the war of resistance. The most fierce one was that he killed five or six armed devils with his bare hands.
The more you talk about danger, the more it arouses his desire for challenge.
But he doesn't take it seriously, so we can't take it lightly.
I have never opened a bear warehouse, but I know that with this gentleman following me, there will be many variables on this trip. It is better for us to make adequate preparations. "
"I understand, big brother! When I was a kid, my dad and I watched someone open a warehouse once. All the equipment was ready. I'll go back and get it now."
So Zhuzi went home to get his tools.
Li Yuemin went straight home and told Chuntao about going into the mountains, but he skipped the opening of the bear warehouse.
Chuntao knew his abilities and also knew the responsibilities he should assume as a mountain guard.
Therefore, for the first time in history, there was no excessive obstruction, only repeated instructions.
Not only did they make him five or six big steamed buns, they also boiled a dozen eggs and brought him a large piece of stewed wolf meat.
When Li Yuejin heard that his brother was going into the mountains, he insisted on going with him. However, Li Yuemin rejected his idea outright. He stroked his little head and said:
"Third brother, I went into the mountains this time because I was invited. We have enough manpower and we don't need you.
You still have three important things to do at home. This is also a test for you.
If you can do this job well, the Hanyang-made pike will be yours to use in the future."
When Li Yuejin heard this, he immediately raised his chest:
"Tell me, which three are they?"
"First, I promised Brother Guang that I would deliver the fish he wanted tomorrow. I can't go back on my word.
The fish I caught last time are all in the secret base. You can pick 108 of them and take the golden one with you.
Tell him that this is my way of thanking him."
"Brother, I promise to do this, what's the second one?"
"The second thing is that you find someone to take out the deer penis yourself.
Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some wine in a glass jar, and soak it. Bring it to Brother Guang tomorrow."
When Li Yuejin heard that his brother was going to give the deer penis to someone else, he widened his eyes and said:
"Brother, didn't you say you wanted to keep this thing for yourself? If you give it to someone else, you never know when you'll be able to hunt a big bull next time."
Li Yuemin waved his hand:
“You don’t need to ask any questions, just do it.
The third thing is that when I’m not at home, you have to take care of the house and take good care of my sister-in-law and mother.
I will leave Hu Zi to you and let him accompany you to the black market. This way I will feel more at ease."
"Brother, you should bring Huzi with you. How can we go hunting in the mountains without hunting dogs?
I have those buddies with me, plus this Hanyang rifle, if anyone dares to mess with me, I will shoot him with my gun. "
After Li Yuejin finished speaking, he made a gesture as if aiming a gun.
After arranging matters at home, Li Yuemin went to the blacksmith shop at the south end of the village.
The shopkeeper’s surname is Hu. He is short and fat, and people nickname him Hu Zhuizi.
Hu Zhuozi is seventy-five years old this year. Although he is short, his blacksmithing skills are well-known far and wide.
From small hidden weapons like darts to large weapons like axes, hatchets and forks, as long as there is a diagram, or even no blueprint, as long as you describe it accurately enough, he will follow your plan and make it almost accurate.
When Li Yuemin came, he was working with his bare chest, swinging a hammer and making a lot of noise.
Although it was winter, his muscles were dripping with sweat. Although he was old, his physical strength was no less than that of a young man.
As soon as Li Yuemin lifted the door curtain, I knew he was here to get the goods.
So, he put down his work, put on his clothes and walked out, wiping his sweat while saying:
"I figured you were in a hurry to get these things, so I worked day and night to get them here. I didn't expect you to actually come today."
After saying that, he turned around and took out the things Li Yuemin wanted from the shelf and placed them on the table one by one.
"These are climbing spikes, twenty in total. I used up all the good steel I had."
Climbing spikes were an essential tool for Li Yuemin to climb cliffs in his previous life. The sharp end was used to drive into the rock, and the end with a ring structure was used to connect the rope.
This is the whip you wanted. Seeing that you are tall, I took the liberty of cutting it into thirteen sections. However, I will still charge you for nine sections.
After all, your grandfather and I both studied under the same master, but it’s a pity that he passed away early, otherwise I wouldn’t have a place to make a living in this area.”
