The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 1265: Blatant Arrogance
It is easy for a dog to chase a bear, but it is not easy for a person to chase a dog or a bear.

Especially as time went by, things started to become blurry for everyone.

Moreover, the Shitang belt is not entirely flat. Stone piles, stone mounds, and stone ledges block people's view.

The direction of the bear roar and dog barking that they had just heard was due south. As they chased, the sounds moved to the southwest.

This was not the first time this had happened, and everyone was running so hard that their cotton jackets and trousers were soaked with sweat.

At this time, the bear was climbing up the pile of stones. The bear's strength lies in its flexible forelimbs, which makes it much better than a dog.

This pile of rocks was like a rockery, about four meters high. The bear occupied the high position, waving its front paws from above, forcing all the dogs to stay away from it.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Ow ooh..."

The dogs were barking in chaos, and the hunting dogs could not attack, so they just made as much noise as possible.

"Hun... hun..." The bear let out a low growl. Facing so many hunting dogs, although it was worry-free for the moment, it had already wanted to leave.

Suddenly, the bear turned around and stepped down the rock from the other side.

When landing, the bear stretched its body and landed steadily, then it pounced outside the stone pond at the fastest speed.

"Woof woof woof..." The hunting dogs that reached the top of the stone pile did not dare to jump down like the bear. Led by the green tiger, they went down the same way they came up, then went around the stone pile and continued to chase the bear.

The bear ran out of the stone pond and went into the fish-scale pine forest.

The fish-scale pine tree grows exclusively in high mountains and near rocky ponds.

This forest is very old. The tall fish-scale pines do not shed their leaves in winter. Their branches are covered and their leaves are connected to each other.

In the woods, the bear stood with its back against a pine tree, holding its paws in front of it, ready to fight to the death.

The Zhao family's dogs were not afraid of it and surrounded the bear. Amid the roars of the dogs, the oldest green tiger was the first to take action.

The old dog pounced forward and bit the bear's upright left hind thigh. The bear grabbed to the side with its left paw, and the green tiger loosened its mouth and withdrew its body, circling directly around the fish-scale pine that the bear was leaning on.

The green tiger circled around to the right side of the bear. Before the bear turned around, the green tiger bit it on the right side again.

When the bear reached to the right again, the black tiger leapt up and bit the bear's left leg. Then Yong'an's fattest dog sank his body and retreated viciously.

It's good to be big and strong. The black tiger pulled, and the bear's upright left leg slid to the left, and the whole bear did a split.

Seeing this, the other dogs bit the bear's left leg and dragged it across the snow.

"Hmph..." The bear roared and tried to grab the ground with its front paws but to no avail. It was dragged for about ten meters by the hunting dogs. Its back and arms collided with a tree, causing it to howl.

Amidst the roar, the bear finally found an opportunity to grab the tree with its fore paws. After stabilizing its body, it hugged the tree with one arm and swung its other forearm continuously.

The bear has long front limbs and short hind limbs. Its sudden attack scratched the armor of Bailong and Erhei, causing some skin injuries to the two dogs.

The moment the hunting dogs were forced back, the bear quickly climbed up the tree and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Ow ooh..."

Seeing the bear climbing up the tree, the hunting dogs all climbed up the tree.

Dogs can also climb trees, but they fall down before they reach two meters. Huang Long, one of the Zhao family's dogs, has practiced this before, but when he climbed nearly three meters, he flipped his body back and landed on the snow.

The bear had already climbed to a height of five or six meters above the ground.

At this time, Wang Qiang and others had not yet escaped from the Shitang belt.

I'm not a waste, I just can't do better.

The stone pond was full of potholes and snow, and people were sweating as they ran. The more they ran, the more tired they became.

Suddenly, the sound of the dog barking changed. Wang Qiang glanced at the dark forest of fish-scale pine trees and shouted, "Don't run, Brother Yu, don't run!"

Yu Xuewen and others heard Wang Qiang shouting, stopped and asked him: "Why don't you run away?"

"The bear has climbed up the tree!" Wang Qiang raised his hand and pointed forward, saying, "Listen, the dog's barking is different!"

Wang Qiang, who jumped from the Zhao Family Hunting Gang to the Zhao Family Gang, has rich experience in dog hunting. From the changes in the dogs' barking, Wang Qiang heard a clue.

"Climbed a tree?" Yu Xuewen's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Climbed a tree, that's good!"

Once a bear climbs a tree, it becomes a sitting duck.

"No need to rush!" Wang Qiang said to everyone, "Just walk slowly, take a breath, and knock it down steadily when we're done."

The gun had to be fired in one breath, and the breathing had to be steady when firing. Everyone believed Wang Qiang's words, and they changed from running to fast walking.

But when he arrived at the woods, Yu Xuewen felt something was wrong.

Outside the woods, you can still make out some vague shadows, but inside the woods it is completely dark.

Fortunately, there was a fire not far away, and the second team came to meet Yu Xuewen. They had two pine torches, and they entered the forest with the torches lit.

When Wang Qiang, Yu Xuewen and others saw the Zhao family's dog gang, the hunting dogs were sitting in three circles under the tree. From time to time, they looked up and shouted at the tree. Seeing people coming, the hunting dogs became more excited.

"Is it on this tree?" Yu Xuewen raised his hand and pointed at the pine tree surrounded by the hunting dogs. He knew that his words were unnecessary, but he couldn't see the bear at that moment.

The bear climbed about six or seven meters above the ground, and the light from the pine oil torches could not illuminate very far. When everyone looked up, their view was blocked by pine branches and needles.

"That's it." Wang Qiang replied, and then asked Yu Xuewen: "Brother Yu, do you have a saw?"

"No." Yu Xuewen shook his head, then looked up at the dark sky and said, "No one thought they could use that thing."

After he finished speaking, Yu Xuewen took two steps back, and as he did so, he called out to everyone, "Come, gather in a circle and head upwards, and try to hit it. If you can't hit it, forget it."

After hearing what Yu Xuewen said, everyone stood around the tree and raised their guns to shoot at the top of the tree.

"Clap clap clap..."

All twelve men fired all the bullets in their guns in one breath, and then quickly reloaded their guns.

The hounds were in a mess in front of the tree, but nothing fell from the tree.

"Stop fighting!" Yu Xuewen stopped everyone, then looked at Wang Qiang and asked, "What should we do?"

"Secretary." At this time, someone suggested to Yu Xuewen: "Why don't we use a big axe to chop it."

These people didn't have saws, but they had axes. Although the axes were sharp, they didn't have the same strength as saws. If they were to chop down this big pine tree, wouldn't it take until tomorrow morning?

"Why don't we go back and get the saw?" Someone else said, "Let Xiaofei drive. We'll have to wait for the whole trip."

"Tsk!" Hearing what the man said, Yu Xuewen smacked his lips and said, "How can you set off a tree in the middle of the night?"

"Yes." Wang Qiang said, "We don't know where the blind bear is. It's pitch dark. What if we let it run away?"

This big fish-scale pine is about ten meters tall. The direction in which the tree falls can be controlled, but who knows where the bear is?

Should one squat eight meters away or ten meters away? Should one squat on the left side of the fallen tree or on the right side?

And when a tree falls, you can predict the direction it will fall, but there can't be anyone within a few meters of it. It's dark at night, what if the bear runs away?
Just then, Zhao Jun and others arrived.

Seeing Yu Xuewen and others standing under the tree, Zhao Jun couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He just heard the sound of gunfire, and there must have been about a hundred or eighty shots fired, but it turned out that nothing was hit.

However, when Zhao Jun looked up, he understood the difficulties faced by Yu Xuewen and others.

"Zhao Jun!" Seeing Zhao Jun, Yu Xuewen immediately said, "You guys go back first. I'll watch over here."

In this situation, there is no other way but to wait until daybreak to fight the bear.

Zhao Jun did not say anything after hearing what Yu Xuewen said. By tomorrow morning, even if the bear climbed 50 meters high, it would be a sitting duck under the muzzle of a semi-automatic gun.

Yu Xuewen took Li Laowu and six others to stay. The dry food left over from lunch was just enough for them to eat. The rest of them all left the forest and returned to Yongxing.

When getting on the bus, Zhao Jun held a torch and checked each of his dogs one by one.

Dahua and Erhua were seriously injured, but their movements were not affected. In addition, Bailong, Erhei, Heilong and Heinu all had some minor injuries.

It would take only a short time to get back to Yongxing by bus, so Zhao Jun didn't rush to bandage the dog.

When we returned to Yongxing Brigade, it was already past six o'clock. Tao Dabao, Tao Xiaobao and Tao Fulin had been waiting in the guesthouse for a long time.

Hearing the noise, Tao's father and son and Li Wencai went out to greet them.

Zhao Jun greeted the four people first. When Tao Dabao asked about the situation on the mountain, Zhao Jun said, "Uncle Tao, we got the blind bear out of the cave, but it ran into the forest and climbed a tree. It's dark and we can't catch it. Secretary Yu said he's watching it there, so we came back first."

"Ah." After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Tao Dabao understood what was going on. Thinking that he could kill the bear tomorrow morning, Tao Dabao was very happy and called everyone, "Let's hurry up, let's all go to my house. My wife and my sister-in-law have prepared dinner."

"Uncle Tao." At this time, Zhao Jun stopped Tao Dabao and said, "No, my dog ​​is injured. I need you to find a doctor for me."

"That's not a problem." Tao Dabao turned to Tao Xiaobao and said, "Second brother, quickly find Doctor Qu and ask him to bring the medicine box over."

Zhao Jun brought all the injured dogs into the house, no matter they were lightly or seriously injured. Li Wencai spread a sack on the ground and let Heilong and the others lie on it.

The doctor at the Yongxing Brigade Health Center was named Qu Zanyang. Zhao Jun had dealt with this man before and knew that he was a snob.

Zhao Jun was not afraid of snobs because he had connections in Yongxing. With Tao Dabao in charge, Doctor Qu's attitude was very good, and he simply treated the injured dog as his own family.

Especially after knowing that Zhao Jun and the others had not eaten, Dr. Qu took the initiative to say that he had already eaten, and asked to stay to take care of the injured dog, while Zhao Jun and the others went to Tao Dabao's house for dinner.

But even so, when Zhao Jun and his friends arrived at Tao's house, it was almost seven o'clock.

Since Zhao Jun met the Tao family, the two sides have always had a good relationship. Even when Zhao Youcai came to Yongxing last time, Wang Meilan gave him money to buy things for the Tao family's elderly and children.

Although the money was embezzled by Zhao Youcai, he still gave the meat, such as roe deer and wild boar, to the Tao family.

Later, Zhao Youcai left in disgrace. Although the main responsibility lay with Wang Dalong, the Tao family always felt ashamed.

Today Zhao Jun came to visit the house again. Tao Dabao's wife Jiang Lan and Tao Xiaobao's wife Li Yunxiang cooked ten dishes, and all of them were hard dishes, including slaughtering chickens and geese.

As the host, the Tao father and son warmly entertained Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen.

At the same time, in the west house of the Zhao family in Yong'antun.

Zhao Youcai was riding on Li Dazhi, pinching Li Dazhi's wrists with one hand, and holding a broom in the other hand, pointing at Li Dazhi's nose and asking, "Are you going to say it or not?"

"I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore." Li Dazhi begged for mercy again and again, saying, "Young Master, I was wrong, isn't that enough?"

While the two of them were fighting, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun were watching from the side. The women who were washing dishes, cleaning chopsticks and collecting leftovers were watching from the outer room.

Zhao Youcai got off Li Dazhi, but still feeling unsatisfied, he hit Li Dazhi back.

"Ouch!" Li Dazhi covered his hips, rolled his eyes at Zhao Youcai, and said, "Brother-in-law, why do you get so angry when I say that?"

"Get out of here!" Zhao Youcai pointed at Li Dazhi with a small broom and said, "If you hit me again, I'll beat you up!"

“Hehehe…” Li Dazhi was not angry even though Zhao Youcai pointed at him and scolded him. Instead, he just laughed.

When he smiled, he was hit by Zhao Youcai again.

Li Dazhi was punished by Zhao Youcai not because of anything else, but because there was a dish of stir-fried beef with green onions tonight.

When Li Dazhi was eating beef, he kept asking Zhao Youcai where the beef came from.

Zhao Youcai didn't know how to answer so he chose to remain silent. As a result, after the meal, Li Dazhi suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, you said you beat Lao Niu, just admit it!"

Well, it turns out that he had known it for a long time and had been teasing Zhao Youcai the whole time.

So, Li Dazhi was dealt with by Zhao Youcai.

After lighting a cigarette and taking a puff, Zhao Youcai, who was filled with anger, suddenly remembered something. He raised his leg and kicked Li Dazhi's calf lightly, and asked, "Who told you about that?"

Li Dazhi widened his eyes, looked at Zhao Youcai blankly and asked, "What's the matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Zhao Youcai picking up the broom, Li Dazhi hurriedly said, "It has spread throughout the forest farm. I heard them discussing what happened yesterday at noon."

Hearing Li Dazhi say this, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun all looked at him with suspicion.

"Cough!" Feeling uneasy when being stared at by four people, Li Dazhi coughed lightly and refused to betray anyone.

Although it was not yet eight o'clock, Li Ruhai, who was on night shift at Yong'an Forest Farm, had already gone to bed.

He lay on the pillow, reading a comic book by the light of a lantern. The comic book was "Master Haideng" brought by Li Dazhi, which told the story of Haideng practicing martial arts to avenge his family.

Li Ruhai had never read such a story before and was fascinated by it.

Just then, there was a burst of noise outside the house.

Li Ruhai suddenly sat up from the quilt, listened carefully, and vaguely heard many people shouting. Li Ruhai hurriedly got off the kang, put on his cotton jacket, and walked out of the mail room with a lamp in his hand.

As soon as he came out of the mail room, Li Ruhai saw a group of people standing outside the gate of the forest farm. They were holding torches, some holding knives and some holding sticks.

When Li Ruhai saw this, his face turned pale with fright.

No more updates today, tomorrow will be the beginning of the dog days, so I'll turn on the heat today. I'm afraid of both cold and heat...
