A while later, he went to the toilet and went to the doctor's office to find Li Dawei.
He was an elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor in his fifties.
Hearing what Wang Tianxiao said, he sighed, "The other injuries are alright, they'll heal with time, but this frostbite is definitely a problem. He stayed in the extremely low temperature environment for too long, and some nerves have already suffered permanent damage..."
"What do you mean?" Wang Tianxiao asked anxiously.
"That means even if he recovers, he will still have some problems using his arm. If he recovers well, he may just be a little weaker than before, or his arm may hurt when he exerts a lot of force. But if he recovers poorly, he may not be able to use his arm at all."
Is it that serious?
Wang Tianxiao frowned; he truly hadn't expected the problem to be so serious.
"I've already told the patient about this possibility. What, didn't they tell you?"
Wang Tianxiao pondered for a moment, then asked, "Then... is there any way to change this situation, such as taking medicine, having surgery, or any other means, as long as it works?"
"Well, this symptom is difficult to treat surgically because it is a kind of nerve degeneration, not local necrosis or the growth of derivatives. As far as I know, there is no way to treat it with medication for the time being. You can try taking some nerve-activating drugs, but it is hard to say whether they will be effective."
"So, there's absolutely no way out?" Wang Tianxiao's mood became a little depressed. If Wu Wenhua's arm really had a problem, then he would be the one to start it and would be held responsible.
“However…” Li Dawei pushed up his glasses, pondered for a moment, and then continued, “But I did hear my grandfather say when I was a child that bear oil seems to be very effective in treating this kind of illness caused by frostbite that damages organs or nerves.”
"Bear oil?"
"Yes, it's bear oil. My grandpa said it's very effective. He used it when he was young and it cured someone's chronic illness. But these traditional things aren't always completely effective. Besides, it's not like before. Where can you find bear oil now? I haven't seen a bear in many years, since I was a child..."
Wang Tianxiao was no longer in the mood to listen to Li Dawei talk about his interesting childhood stories.
He thought to himself that if bear oil really worked, he would definitely give it a try.
Now that it's winter, bears will find a comfortable tree hollow or cave to hibernate. They don't like to move around much and are easy to hunt.
It seems he needs to go to Xifeng again.
However, hunting bears is different from hunting other things.
For most small animals, a single shot is enough to lay them on the ground, turning them into corpses or leaving them vulnerable to slaughter.
But with bears, it's very difficult to get rid of them directly unless you hit their vital parts.
Many bears cannot be killed even with two shots.
Their fur and fat are naturally thick, and their bodies are large, making it difficult to hit vital points directly.
Therefore, experienced hunters usually use attrition tactics when hunting bears.
Injure them, then use the hounds to drag them around at a pace.
Bears generally do not attack people unless they collide head-on, both seeing each other and having no way to avoid each other.
Otherwise, if you simply hit a stick with grass and walk forward, the bear will actively avoid you.
They are omnivores and do not experience the same level of stress as other trough animals. However, because they need to eat a lot to maintain their robust physique, bears can eat almost anything, whether it is alive or not. This is why, despite various changes in the biological world, many different types of bears have survived.
But bears also have a strong sense of territory.
If you insist on bumping into it, leaving no room for maneuver for either of you, the bear will assume you are invading its territory and will definitely chase after you and land its rear end on your face.
Hunting bears is no easy task.
The fact that the person is still in bed after what happened last time shows that hunting itself is very risky.
If you're skilled, you'll hunt for others; if you're not, you'll just be left with nothing but food.
Jackals are alright, since humans can still put up a fight against them, but when it comes to bears, all that's left is to run.
If you see a bear from ten paces away, you'll run as fast as you can.
Within ten steps... that's enough to utter a curse word.
Many people think that bears are so big and strong that they must be very clumsy, so they often use the term "clumsy big bear" to describe bears.
But in reality, bears are very fast, after all, they are four-wheel drive, and in the mountains and forests, it is impossible for humans to be faster than bears.
In addition, you must have a gun to hunt bears, preferably a semi-automatic rifle like the Type 56. If it's a single-shot crooked-neck rifle, then you might as well not bother with it.
The bear won't give you time to reload.
As for using cold weapons to kill a bear, that only requires sheer courage.
Given a bear's massive hide, it's impossible for someone of average strength to penetrate it. Moreover, if you get close to a bear, your reaction speed is simply not as fast as itss. So, by the time you raise your weapon, your body might already be smashed into a pulp by the bear.
Therefore, professional bear hunters usually carry long-handled knives, somewhat like Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which can inflict damage on bears from a great distance.
Moreover, because the handle is relatively long, it utilizes the lever principle, allowing for better force application and easier insertion into the bear's body.
Different people call this kind of knife by different names. For example, people in Qingcheng like to call it "long-handled knife," while people in Northeast China like to call it "invading knife." The shapes are slightly different, but they are basically the same thing.
