Chapter 1661
Take a gun and kill it.
Wang An shook his head and said through gritted teeth:
"Who knows? Whatever, let's hurry home, grab our guns, and come back to take it down. Damn it, I have to kill it today. I almost chased this guy to the point of collapse."
"拉拉胯了" is a local dialect term meaning that one's legs and feet are not flexible, or that one's walking posture has been severely deformed due to external force.
After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li suddenly laughed:
"Fourth Brother, I've noticed that when you kick up those legs, you're incredibly fast. Black Bear can't catch up with you at all."
Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said irritably:
"You'd better hurry up and get down there. If Black Bear chases you from behind, you'll run faster than me."
After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li immediately started chuckling to himself.
Ignoring Wang Li's silly grin, Wang An said with a regretful expression:
"Two whole stalks of ants, all wasted! I was thinking of stewing them before noon, just one day at a time."
Wang An was quite upset about the fact that the bucket containing the frogs was knocked over by the bear, causing all the frogs to escape.
What's most infuriating is that Wang An almost got himself into trouble with Hei Xiazi.
Therefore, Wang An's hatred for this black bear had reached its peak.
Upon hearing this, Wang Li turned and glanced at Wang An, then said with considerable anger:
"Yeah, that's why they didn't bring a gun. Otherwise, they would have taken the bear's gall bladder by now. I just don't know what kind of gall bladder this bear could produce."
After Wang Li finished speaking, the two brothers fell silent.
No matter what the mistake was, it was all because they didn't bring a gun, so in the end, it's still the two guys' fault for being heartless.
In just over ten minutes, the sidecar drove straight into Wang An's yard.
After parking the sidecar at the doorway, Wang Li said to Wang An:
"Fourth Brother, wait for me a moment? I'll go back and get my gun now, and I'll come pick you up later."
Wang An waved his hand and said:
"Why would you go back? Just take one from me. It's a black bear. Just kill it and that's it."
Wang An's words were overheard by Mu Xueqing, who was playing with her child in the yard. Mu Xueqing's expression changed, and she quickly asked:
"Black Bear? Xiao An, you guys ran into a black bear?"
No matter the time, terms like "big claws," "earth leopard," "black bear," "green skin," "red dog," and "cannonball" are all very sensitive words in these mountains.
Unfortunately, every year too many people are injured or even killed by these wild animals.
The "green skin" mentioned here refers to a wolf. Some people call wolves "green skin," while others call them "lāi dài."
After Mu Xueqing finished asking her question, Wang An said with a completely nonchalant expression:
"Yeah, we ran into a black bear. It's a pity neither of us had a gun, otherwise we would have killed it. It's been like this for days."
Mu Xueqing said with great confusion:
"How could there be bears in Nanwa, which is so close to the village?"
As Wang An walked into the house, he said:
"Who knows? That bear let go of the two water leeches we picked up, and it even ate quite a few of them. We're going to grab our guns and kill it right now," Mu Xueqing said, her face full of worry.
"Why don't you take the dog with you? It'll be safer with the dog around. Besides, by the time you come back, that bear might have already run away."
Wang An thought for a moment, mainly considering the surrounding terrain in his mind, before nodding and saying:
"Okay, then take it."
As he spoke, Wang An strapped the holster of the Type 54 pistol, which was in the drawer under the coffee table in the living room, to his waist. After checking the magazine of the Type 54 pistol, he put the Type 54 into the holster.
He turned around and went to the back room to get two 56 half-barrel clips and four bridge clips, and handed one 56 half-barrel clip and two bridge clips to Wang Li.
The two men loaded their guns with bullets, slung them over their shoulders, and turned to walk outside.
At this moment, Mu Xueqing hurriedly asked:
"Xiao An, are you leaving now? It's almost lunchtime, why don't you eat first and then go?"
Wang An waved his hand without turning his head and said:
"We'll be back in one hour at most. You guys go eat and don't worry about us."
After stepping out of the house, Wang An pointed to the side basket and said:
"Fifth brother, go and drive the sidecar over."
After saying that, Wang An went to the stove shed and took out two scalpels and two urea bags. When Wang Li drove the sidecar over, he threw the two items onto the sidecar.
Wang An jumped onto the sidecar and sat sideways, waving his hand forward to the dogs near the kennel:
"Big Black, Second Black, Third Black, Little Black, Little White, Big Wolf, Second Wolf, Third Wolf, let's go for a walk."
The four dogs and four wolves, who were lying there seemingly lost in thought, immediately stood up and scurried over when they heard Wang An's call.
Wang Li suddenly said:
"Fourth Brother, don't you need to put armor and collars on the dogs?"
Every time they went into the mountains, Wang An and his men would dress the dogs and wolves in armor and put spiked collars on them.
It was precisely because of Wang An and his companions' actions that the dogs were never seriously injured when facing ferocious beasts.
Wang An thought for a moment, then frowned and said:
"We don't need to dress them up this time. It's just a black bear. We'll be there in no time. Besides, Big Black is so clever. It won't let the other dogs rush up. It should be fine."
The dogs, including Dahei and Xiaohei, are seasoned veterans with considerable experience in dealing with bears. They are no longer foolish enough to actively attack and bite the bears, which is why Wang An trusts them completely.
Thinking of this, Wang An couldn't help but worry about something.
That is, Big Black, the extremely intelligent dog, is getting old, and although Little Black is also very smart, he is still much less so than Big Black. The key is that Little Black does not have enough experience in hunting. If Big Black is no longer with him when he goes into the mountains to hunt, how miserable he will be.
It must be admitted that Dahei's intelligence is extremely rare among all dogs. It can understand human speech, knows how to command other dogs to cooperate with each other, and can also assess the situation and will not do the stupid thing that it knows is impossible.
Thinking of this, Wang An sighed softly and subconsciously looked at Dahei.
Dahei noticed its master's gaze and couldn't help but look at Wang An as well. Although it didn't know what Wang An was thinking, Dahei bared its teeth at Wang An just like a human.
Wang An beckoned, and Dahei walked over to the sidecar. Wang An vigorously stroked Dahei's head and said:
"Just help me find the black bear in a little while, and whatever you do, don't go up and bite it, you can't beat it."
Big Black barked twice at Wang An, indicating that it understood. Wang An then said to Wang Li:
"Fifth brother, let's go." (End of this chapter)
