Sheng Xiping and the others set off from the forest farm around eight o'clock in the morning.
The distance from the forest farm to the accident site on the second branch line is about 15 or 16 li. We walked another 10 li or so searching for the mother and child.
The journey there and back was along mountain roads, and they had to rest and eat something when they got tired along the way. By the time Sheng Xiping and the others returned to the forest farm, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
Today it was Wang Jiachuan's turn to guard the field headquarters. After learning that Li Zhenggang had arranged for people to go into the mountains to look for Black Bear, Wang Jiachuan was restless all day, fearing that the security personnel would cause some more trouble.
"What time is it already? Why haven't they come back yet? What could have happened to them?"
Wang Jiachuan couldn't sit still in his office, so he wandered around the courtyard of the farm headquarters.
"I guess they didn't find the black bear, which wasted time."
All seven of them are armed; even if they encounter a bear, they won't be at a disadvantage. Secretary, you should rest a bit. Don't worry, they might be back soon.
The security department couldn't be left unattended, so Li Zhenggang couldn't go with them this time.
To be honest, Li Zhenggang was also very anxious, like a cat scratching at his heart. Of course, his main concern was that he hadn't been able to go hunting in the mountains.
Li Zhenggang knew his subordinates quite well and had confidence in them.
Ever since the winter before last when jackals invaded the village, the security department was badly hurt by Wang Jiachuan and Zheng Xianyong, so Li Zhenggang was determined to train his men properly.
In addition to daily drills, the security department conducts target practice every month.
After more than a year of perseverance, everyone has made great progress.
Besides, Sheng Xiping is leading the team this time, so the chances of something going wrong are slim.
"Secretary, if you're worried, I'll go and greet him."
Li Zhenggang glanced at Wang Jiachuan, and seeing that Wang Jiachuan still looked worried, he stepped out of the courtyard.
"Don't go. You don't know which way they'll come back, or where they'll meet us," Wang Jiachuan sighed, grabbing Li Zhenggang's arm.
Li Zhenggang agreed, noting that the surrounding forest of Qianchuan Forest Farm was quite large, with several roads leading to the second branch line.
Besides, who can guarantee that Sheng Xiping and the others will take the same route back? Where is he supposed to meet them then?
Just as Li Zhenggang was hesitating, he suddenly heard a child shouting, "Black bear, big black bear, two big black bears."
Around four o'clock, it's time for students to get out of school.
The children, carrying their schoolbags, skipped and hopped out of the school, walking home in groups of three or five, chattering and laughing.
They happened to run into Liu Chunlai and his group who were dragging a black bear back on the way. Some of the children were quick on their feet and ran back to the farm headquarters to report the news.
When Wang Jiachuan and Li Zhenggang heard "black bears," and "two black bears," they assumed that Sheng Xiping and his group had killed both the large and small black bears.
"Good job, your security department really did something this time. You actually took down Hei Xiazi. Well done!" Wang Jiachuan clapped his hands happily.
At this moment, Li Zhenggang was in no mood to say anything to Wang Jiachuan. As soon as he heard that two black bears had been killed, he darted out of the farm headquarters courtyard in two steps.
Looking again, Sheng Xiping and his group were struggling to walk this way from the north end of the small train track, dragging something they didn't know.
Li Zhenggang hurriedly went to greet him, "Oh my, did you take down that bear?" Before he even got close, Li Zhenggang asked eagerly.
"Brother Li, it wasn't just one black bear, there were two big ones and one small one. We killed the two big ones and also captured the small one."
Sheng Xiping took the little bear cub off his shoulder and handed it to Li Zhenggang.
"So, Zhang Tianliang and the others mistook this thing for a puppy."
Only then did Li Zhenggang notice that two black bears were tied to the makeshift sled.
Also, in Sheng Xiping's hand was a small, black, furry creature that, at first glance, really did look quite like a little black dog.
"What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be just one black bear? How come two were killed?"
Li Zhenggang was dumbfounded. Where exactly did things go wrong?
"Let's go back to the farm headquarters first, and we'll talk about it together when we get there."
Sheng Xiping smiled, didn't explain immediately, but just put the little black bear in Li Zhengang's hands, and then he also went to help drag the makeshift sled.
Fortunately, they weren't far from the farm headquarters. Although everyone was exhausted, they still used their last bit of strength to drag the two bears into the farm headquarters courtyard.
"Huh? Why are there two big black bears? Weren't they supposed to be one big and one small?"
When Wang Jiachuan saw the two black bears on the ground, he was stunned. What was going on?
“Secretary Wang, I’m right here.” Sheng Xiping pointed to Li Zhenggang’s arms.
"Here's what happened: we went into the mountains today and happened to see a male bear chasing a mother and her cub."
Sheng Xiping then recounted in detail his experience of going into the mountains that day, especially how the male bear chased the female bear and the cub, and how he tried to kill the cub.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I really didn't know. So male black bears do things like that? Aren't they the same kind?"
Wang Jiachuan had never hunted before and knew nothing about the habits of bears. He was quite surprised when he first heard about them.
"Well, since you're the ones who brought back the black bears, hurry up and divide them up so everyone can take the meat home."
What should we do with this little bear cub? Xiping, are you going to take it home and raise it?
Wang Jiachuan glanced at the two bears on the ground, then at the furry little thing in Li Zhenggang's arms. To be honest, the little thing looked quite interesting.
"No, no, I won't keep that kind of thing."
Secretary, why don't you ask the family team if they want it? Or you could ask the big alkali field.
