Chapter 259 Barbecue for Breakfast
Sheng Xiping's shot went into the brown bear's right eye and blew it out in the head.
Of the two shots fired by Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo, one bullet hit the brown bear's abdomen, and the other hit its rump.
The brown bear was hit, and the huge impact of the bullet forced it to slow down its forward run.
Then, the brown bear took a few more steps forward and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
At this moment, Sheng Xiping was less than fifty meters away from where the brown bear had fallen.
This is what makes it semi-automatic; the 7.62mm bullets are quite lethal.
If it were a regular shotgun, Sheng Xiping wouldn't have had a chance to fire a second shot. After firing the first shot, he would have had to turn and run immediately.
Whether you can escape depends on your teammates' marksmanship and coordination.
If your teammates are completely incompetent and miss, you'll basically become a brown bear's breakfast.
Fortunately, this time they only brought semi-automatic security equipment from the venue's security department.
With such a powerful weapon at their disposal, and with Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo cooperating quite well, they managed to kill the large brown bear without any major incident.
The brown bear lay motionless on the ground, but Sheng Xiping still dared not be careless and waited a while longer with his gun at the ready.
The big guy remained motionless on the ground, which put Sheng Xiping at ease. He then told Gao Haining and the others to cut some poles and try to flip the brown bear over.
This thing is so big, it can't be moved by just one or two people.
After much effort, they finally managed to turn the brown bear over, then cut it open and extracted its gallbladder.
Brown bears are large, and so are their courage—almost as big as a child's head.
However, the quality of brown bear bile is not as good as that of black bear bile, and the unit price is lower. Fortunately, it has weight, so it can still be worth a lot of money.
"Xiping, you can take this first." Gao Haining wrapped the bear bile in a white cloth and handed it to Sheng Xiping for safekeeping.
Sheng Xiping didn't stand on ceremony and took the cloth bag, putting it into his pocket.
They left home at four o'clock, and it's not even six o'clock yet, but they've already got the bear bile.
Everyone was quite happy and kept asking Sheng Xiping what to do next. Should they go back to the forest farm, or continue guarding the area?
"What are you doing? Let's eat some meat first. I got up too early this morning and can't eat anything."
Now that we have meat to eat, what's there to say? Let's find a place to build a fire first, and then we'll roast the meat.
The gunshots just now must have startled the birds and animals in the forest. For the time being, no wild animals will come from this area.
I didn't eat enough this morning, and I walked such a long way. I'll have to drag this big thing back later, so I definitely need to replenish my energy.
"Only a fool would refuse to eat meat," the crowd exclaimed, and they quickly gathered firewood and branches.
Before long, a fire was lit, and Sheng Xiping took a knife and cut strips of meat from the brown bear, skewering them on tree branches and slowly roasting them.
Bear meat is rich in fat. Even after hibernating for several months, a bear that has just come out of its den has lost a lot of fat, so its meat is still quite meaty.
The fire was burning brightly, and the people used fresh branches to skewer meat, keeping it a little distance from the flames, and slowly turned the meat skewers in their hands to roast.
After a while, the meat was cooked, so I took a bite of meat and then some dry food. I ate quite comfortably.
After finishing their meal, they extinguished the fire and checked several times to make sure there were no remaining embers.
During the fire season, one must be extremely careful when using fire in the wild. If a fire breaks out due to carelessness, the losses to this vast forest could be enormous.
After the fire died down, several people urinated on it to make sure everything was alright before they felt relieved.
Sheng Xiping suggested that they go back to the forest farm first. They had brought all their equipment this afternoon and would keep watch nearby tonight to see if they could catch any more prey.
Anyway, we must make the most of this corpse in the big running basket.
Everyone followed Sheng Xiping's lead and listened to whatever he said.
And so, the group managed to make a makeshift sled out of wood, and then slowly dragged the brown bear, whose internal organs had been removed and which they had eaten several pounds of meat from, back home.
If a brown bear were at its peak weight in the fall, it would probably weigh around 900 pounds. After spending the winter in its den, it would likely only weigh around 700 pounds.
After removing the internal organs and what everyone else eats, there are still about 600 jin (300 catties) left.
This thing is huge, and it's not winter with snow everywhere. The shady slopes are a bit better, but the sunny slopes are all thawed, and that's when it's really hard to walk on.
It took about ten people taking turns to drag it, and it took a lot of effort to get back to the forest farm at almost ten o'clock.
With the weather getting warmer, the elderly people in the forest farm, having nothing else to do, spend their time outside basking in the sun and chatting.
So as soon as Sheng Xiping and his group entered the forest farm, they were surrounded by a lot of people.
"My God, what is this? A black bear? Are black bears this big?"
"What kind of look is that? Black bear? Shouldn't Black bear be black-haired?"
Besides, who has ever seen such a big bear? Xiping, what kind of bear is this? How come it's so huge?
When asked, Sheng Xiping couldn't very well not answer, so he could only smile.
"This is a brown bear, also known as a bear. This thing is bigger than a black bear, and they are not the same species."
In the mythical stories of Changbai Mountain, brown bears are called "bear monsters," and in some places, they are called "bear overlords," for reasons unknown.
Anyway, these creatures are generally much larger than black bears, and in winter they don't live in tree hollows, but mostly in stone caves.
Black bears are also called dog hunchbacks, while brown bears are called horse hunchbacks.
These creatures are fewer in number than black bears, and I haven't heard of anyone encountering one in many years. I don't know what happened this time.
It was probably too hungry after leaving the barn, and followed the smell of wild boar blood, only to be encountered by Sheng Xiping and his men, who killed it on the spot.
