Chapter 683 Before Hunting
Half an hour later, Wang Tiedan followed his memory and arrived at the cave.
However, as soon as I got closer, a strong fishy smell hit me in the face.
This made Wang Tiedan, who had a sensitive sense of smell, almost vomit his dinner.
Perhaps because of the noise outside, a deafening roar suddenly came from the cave, followed by a burst of heavy footsteps and grunting sounds, getting closer and closer to the cave entrance.
Wang Tiedan hurriedly entered the space.
In just a moment, a black bear was seen rushing out of the cave.
That physique, over 300 pounds, is a mother bear, and it looks like she just gave birth to cubs.
No wonder he's so bad-tempered.
The black bear rushed out of the cave, grunting, and walked around the cave several times.
Just when it was cursing and wanted to go back, suddenly a large rock appeared out of nowhere at the entrance of the cave, and Wang Tiedan's figure appeared inside the cave.
Smelling danger, the black bear became angry again, growling and scratching the boulders.
Unfortunately, even with its two tons of force, it is difficult to move the boulder.
Wang Tiedan smiled and walked straight into the depths of the cave.
Just around the corner, there was a simple bear den, covered with grass and leaves. Inside, two little guys who looked about the same size as puppies were still sleeping soundly.
Wang Tiedan wanted to go further in, but was blocked by some debris.
There are signs of demolition everywhere. The troops must have dismantled the generators and other equipment inside.
Wang Tiedan went in and saw that it was true.
All that was left of the base was an empty reinforced frame, which had long lost its original appearance.
Fortunately, it is moisture-proof and waterproof, suitable for storing your own things.
Wang Tiedan came to the secret room and found the situation was similar.
There is a big hole next to the secret room, which should be the secret room warehouse mentioned by the enemy spies, and it is also empty.
Wang Tiedan took out a flashlight and shone it around. It was clean and tidy. The space was not big, but not small either.
The most important thing is that it is not under the secret room.
Wang Tiedan went downstairs, and immediately, rows of gold bricks appeared in the secret warehouse, neatly stacked, followed by several large sealed boxes stacked in the corner.
These are Wang Tiedan’s assets and must be kept well.
After sealing the secret room warehouse, Wang Tiedan found a lot of huge rocks nearby and stuffed them all into the secret room.
In this way, even if someone comes, it will be difficult to discover the treasure in the secret warehouse.
After doing all this, Wang Tiedan came to the cave entrance again.
At this time, the mother black bear was still lying at the entrance of the cave pushing stones, but her previous roar turned into whimpering, as if she was calling her baby.
It's also a good idea to have a black bear guarding the cave.
In just a moment, the huge rock blocking the cave entrance disappeared out of thin air.
The black bear was shaken and fell to the ground, where he was lying on the ground.
However, it didn't seem to think too much about it. It rushed to its own bear den, protecting its two cubs and vigilantly guarding its surroundings.
Wang Tiedan ignored it, blocked the door of the secret room with a boulder, and left the cave again.
Early the next morning.
Wang Tiedan jumped up from the bed.
It has to be quick, my eldest niece wants to go to the bathroom and keeps jumping around on the bed.
After carrying his eldest niece out of the house, Wang Tiedan no longer felt sleepy.
At this time, my second brother and his wife had already gotten up and breakfast was ready.
"You got up so early. I thought I would call you after breakfast!" said the second brother with a smile.
"It's strange that I can fall asleep with my eldest niece here. I'll wash up first. What time do we start hunting?"
"Right away, meet at eight o'clock."
"Row!"
After a simple breakfast, Wang Tiedan dragged his eldest niece Jinsuo and followed the large group to the back mountain.
At this time, more than 20 people from the hunting team had gathered here and were checking guns and bullets.
Many villagers are also making preparations as logistical support.
"Uncle San, I see quite a few rats in the farm. There should be even more on the back hill. They're almost overflowing." Wang Tiedan found the village chief and said.
"Don't worry, it won't flood!"
The dog-raising grandfather smoked his pipe and continued, "Nature has its own laws. Rats have many natural enemies. The surrounding Wong Tai Sin and night owls have to be attracted here. There are also long insects, foxes, and cats in the village. They have to go over there too."
"Tiedan, your third grandfather is right. Don't worry. This field mouse is not a house mouse. It used to be a dish. It's just right that it's in abundance. I haven't eaten wax mouse meat for a long time. It's a good thing. Most people can't eat it."
Wang Dexing said with a smile.
When he said this, the surrounding villagers also echoed him.
"That's right. When wax pork is fried with dried chilies, it's more fragrant than chicken."
"In 61, we celebrated the New Year with three wax rats. Without them, we wouldn't have had any meat."
"Hey, I thought only our family had it, but I didn't expect you guys have it too."
"Haha, during that time, rats and worms ate a lot."
"And Toad."
"Yep!"
As everyone chatted, they recalled those difficult times and felt very sad.
Who would have thought that in just four or five years, every household in this poor village had already begun planning to build brick and tile houses.
I dare not think about it.
Wang Tiedan had never eaten rat, not even during the two most difficult years.
It’s not that I didn’t want to eat, but my family was so poor at that time that we couldn’t even afford to eat. When mice came, they would just leave sadly and there was no chance to catch them.
He couldn't imagine how delicious mice were, so he continued:
"Third Grandpa, I came here yesterday and saw the black bear with two newborn cubs, living in the cave of the enemy spies."
"Really? Wait, everyone, wait."
Third Grandpa knew how powerful bears were, especially mother bears with cubs, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.
"Old Three, Old Five, you switch places with Tiedan and Dashan. Since this is a bear with cubs, don't fight it. Go near that mountain and ring the gong more to scare the bear away. Don't get close to it, understand?"
"Don't worry, Dad. We know how powerful a mother bear is. We'll just shoot a couple of times over there and leave. We won't get close."
"We also need to be careful of bears coming out to forage in the morning, so be alert."
"Good~"
After Third Grandpa finished making arrangements, the hunters and villagers began to set off in an orderly manner.
More than twenty hunters lined up one after another and set out into the mountains in a fan shape.
After a while, gunshots were heard one after another.
The villagers who served as logistics waited for more than ten minutes and then all followed.
As a doctor, Wang Tiedan is also in the logistics department, but he is a mobile personnel. He and the village chief Wang Dexing and others sit in the rear, waiting for the results of the battle in the front.
However, before the results of the battle could be reported, a large number of leaders arrived.
There were Secretary Sun of the commune, Director Hu of the logistics department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Director Zhang of the logistics department of the First Textile Mill, and Secretary Zhao of Mujiatun.
"Hey~ You guys came at the right time!" Wang Dexing joked, and as he spoke, everyone passed out cigarettes. They were all old acquaintances.
Secretary Sun was not polite either.
"I heard that you guys started looking for bullets yesterday. I knew you guys were going to hunt. You have to give me more this year."
"If we give you more, what shall we do?"
"That's right. Tens of thousands of us are waiting for this meal. Lao Wang, tell me what we want to exchange this year. We will do whatever we can for you."
Director Hu and Director Zhang patted their chests and said.
How could Wang Dexing be polite?
"We are going to build a house in our village next year, and we may need a lot of steel bars and cement. Can you help me contact them?"
