If something really happens, Wang Tianxin and Liu Yuan, one old and one young, have almost no fighting power and will need protection, so they will definitely be in a passive position.
"Everyone, keep a close eye on the trees. If you see a tree with a diameter of two or three meters, take a closer look. If there's a hole in the tree, there's a good chance that a bear is hiding inside."
We don't need to hunt very large bears; that's too risky. Bears in smaller tree hollows tend to be smaller and less experienced, making them easier to hunt.
"Okay, that's settled. Anyway, what we need is bear oil, not to sell anything by killing bears."
Wang Tianxiao admired Cui Wanshan's composure.
No matter what happens, you can always find the most direct solution and avoid doing anything unnecessary.
After the four entered the woods, they discovered that there were still some small animals there.
Mountain hares and some mustelids.
After running over, rows of small footprints will appear on the snow, and snowflakes will be kicked up and fly around.
There were also birds in the trees, which looked like crows, but their feathers were a lighter color than crows.
It's difficult to determine the variety.
Even animals or birds can exhibit different external characteristics due to different geographical environments.
Wang Tianxiao only recognizes some relatively common birds.
The four of them groped their way through the forest, not moving very fast.
Sometimes it looks like there's flat ground in front of you, but when you step down, you find that there's actually a deep pit underneath, so there is still a certain degree of danger.
There was no other way but to carry a stick with each person and walk while probing the ground ahead, somewhat like a blind person's walking stick.
"When will we finally find it?"
Wang Tianxin was getting a little impatient.
This was completely different from the thrilling bear hunt he had imagined.
It's like we're going to steal chickens from someone's house.
"Don't be impatient, be patient. Don't you know that lions and tigers can lie in wait for several days and nights to hunt? You've only been walking for a short while."
Wang Tianxiao said to his younger brother.
Okay, I understand.
"It's the same with everything; you have to... wait!"
Wang Tianxiao suddenly told everyone to stop.
"What's wrong, brother?!"
Wang Tianxin immediately perked up.
Cui Wanshan also looked at Wang Tianxiao with a puzzled expression.
"Look at that tree over there."
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and suddenly discovered that there was a hole under a cypress tree a few dozen meters away.
"Don't move, I'll go check."
Wang Tianxiao gripped his gun, tiptoed closer to the tree trunk, circled around from behind, and pressed his ear against the trunk to listen.
Soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.
He slowly walked back to the group.
"How about it, Lao Wang?"
"In stock!"
"Oh, really?"
Wang Tianxin was overjoyed; after walking for so long, he had finally found the bear.
"I could hear it clearly; there was breathing inside, not particularly loud, probably because they had been hibernating for a long time."
"Great, we've finally found it! What do we do now?"
Upon finding the bear, the three adults remained relatively calm, but Wang Tianxin was the most excited.
Cui Wanshan looked at the bear's den, then at the surrounding environment, and began to assign tasks.
"Okay, Tianxin, you and Uncle Liu step back a few dozen meters, find a big tree, hide behind it and keep an eye on things. Old Wang, let's check the ground conditions nearby."
"good."
Wang Tianxin was a little resentful that his brother had agreed so readily, but since it wasn't his turn, Liu Yuan grabbed his arm and pulled him away.
"Why are you pulling me, old man?"
"Don't get in the way of what others are doing."
"What's the point of this? Since the bear is in its tree hole, why not just stick the gun in and shoot it twice?"
Liu Yuan rolled his eyes at him, gesturing for him to take the knife. "If you kill a bear in the cave, use your brain a little. How are you going to get it out if you kill it in the cave?"
"this……"
"Watch closely later. Bear hunting is no easy task. We happen to have guns, but how do people without guns hunt bears? Or what if our guns misfire, we don't kill the bear, and it goes berserk? These are all unforeseen circumstances."
"My child, if you really want to learn something, you need to use your brain more. Hunting wild animals may seem like a matter of physical skill, but it actually requires intelligence. If you're too stupid, you'll end up dead in the jaws of a wild animal."
Wang Tianxin listened to Liu Yuan's words without refuting them. He realized that Liu Yuan was right. His second brother and eldest brother Cui really didn't intend to kill the bear immediately. Instead, they used sticks to repeatedly probe the surrounding ground, patiently turning over the ground inch by inch.
When they encounter branches buried in the snow, they pull them all up and throw them far away.
The two of them didn't find the process troublesome at all; they were truly very patient.
They even measured the diameter of several relatively large trees nearby and walked around them several times.
Find a few satisfactory trees, and then clear all the snow from under them.
Finally, he carefully walked to the tree where the bear was staying and began to clean up the surrounding environment.
From the moment they started working until they finished, it took the two of them at least two hours to walk back to Liu Yuan and the others.
"Brother, what are you guys doing all this for?"
Wang Tianxin knew that Wang Tianxiao and the others must have had a reason for doing these things, but he didn't know why.
"This is to prepare for emergencies. We need to get the bear out before we can shoot, otherwise it will rot inside the tree hole and we won't be able to get it out. We can't just cut down such a thick tree just to catch a bear, can we?"
