How do you know they're trying to make copper gallstones?
"Of course! Think about it, if they just wanted to hunt the bear, why would they wake it up? They could just kill it in the cave. Why provoke it?"
“That makes sense.” Li Yali realized. “But they really went all out. They didn’t have a decent gun, just two old-fashioned rifles and they dared to provoke a bear. Were they drunk?”
"Haha, I don't know. I didn't talk to either of them, and I don't know where they're from."
"If they hadn't run into you, they would have all been licked to death by the bear. It's terrifying to think about. You can't follow their example. Even when hunting, you have to know when to stop. It's best not to provoke such ferocious beasts. They're too scary."
“I know. I generally won’t provoke black bears unless absolutely necessary.” Wang Tianxiao nodded. “There aren’t many black bears in the mountains to begin with. If we keep hunting them, they might become extinct. All the animals in these mountains are indispensable. Without black bears, the balance would be disrupted.”
Li Yali didn't actually understand Wang Tianxiao's underlying meaning. She didn't yet have a concept or awareness of ecological balance, but subconsciously she felt that her husband's words made a lot of sense, so she nodded.
"You can rest with Pengwa and Fangwa. I'll stay here tonight. Whether this dog survives or not depends on whether it can make it through tonight. By the way, Uncle Liu must be exhausted. Could you help feed the deer, especially the mother deer? This is a critical time, so we can't be careless."
"Okay, I'll get you a blanket in a bit."
"OK."
Wang Tianxiao watched his wife leave, then got off the kang (a heated brick bed) to see her off. But as soon as he got off the kang, the dog opened its eyes and stared at him nervously, as if afraid that he would leave and abandon it again.
Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to turn back, sit on the kang and gently pat its head. "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere tonight. I'll stay here with you. You have to be strong. Think about it, you're a dog that fought against the black bear. You're a war hero. In the future, among your dog friends, you can brag about this achievement for the rest of your life."
The dog stared at him with its dark eyes, not understanding what he was saying.
But dogs are best at reading people's thoughts through their eyes. It could see the gentleness and kindness in Wang Tianxiao's eyes, and finally felt relieved, closed its eyes again and fell asleep.
Wang Tianxiao gently massaged its spine to help it relax and maintain a comfortable posture.
Animals have a stronger healing ability than humans, but their resistance is weaker.
So the animals either die or recover quickly; the most important thing is whether they can survive the critical stage.
As dusk settled, Li Yali brought in the food, and Wang Tianxiao sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and ate a little something. While eating, Gouzi seemed to smell the aroma, opened his eyes, looked at it again, and licked his lips.
But it couldn't eat, so Wang Tianxiao continued to comfort it, and it fell into a deep sleep again.
Wang Tianxiao had been leaning against the wall thinking about things for the first half of the night, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep. In the second half of the night, he suddenly felt an itch on his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the dog licking his face.
I lit the kerosene lamp and saw that the dog's eyes were much more lively under the light. I touched his body and found that the slight trembling had disappeared.
Finally, we've passed the most dangerous stage.
After that, he just needed to rest and recuperate, and only then did he feel relieved.
.
After daybreak, Wang Tianxiao left one of the bears he had brought back the day before, and took the remaining three, along with bear bile and astragalus, to the city.
Bear bile is a valuable commodity; it's only by selling it to Zhang Wenyuan that we can get a good price for it.
Bear bile wine is far more valuable than deer blood wine.
Needless to say, bear legs are a delicacy, and bear paws are considered a supreme delicacy by many people who enjoy eating wild game, and can also make a small fortune.
