Chapter 80 Let's bury it on the spot
"It's so tragic. Half of his face is gone, and his bones are exposed in the blood. The whole family relies on him to hunt game in exchange for some money. Who would have thought that something like this would happen."
"It seems that there are several fields at the foot of the mountain. They are about to plant seeds as the weather gets warmer. If the bear comes down, won't more people die?"
People gathered together and talked to each other. The village was too close to the foot of the mountain, and everyone was very panicked.
No one can be sure when the big bear will appear. Not only can't they go to the mountains to cut firewood, they can't even dig wild vegetables.
The beginning of spring is a time of drought, and there is such a hazard that seriously affects everyone's lives.
But no one dares to get rid of this danger.
As the village chief, Shen Dacheng must make up his mind on this matter.
"Always hiding is not the answer. Why not organize the young people in the village to go into the mountains together and capture the big bear."
As soon as he spoke, many people fell silent.
"I heard that the bear is very tall and strong, almost as tall as two people when standing up. How can we catch it, let alone die?"
The two people who were the happiest people I just mentioned were the first to back down now.
Shen Laoqi said: "In the past, we could even hunt tigers, so what's a bear? Now that we have more people, we can get more weapons. Even if we can't kill it, it's good to drive it away."
Shen Gui'an and Shen Ergou also agreed.
In the evening, Shen Dacheng made a special trip to Shen Xinyue's home.
"You're a very capable girl. Let's go to the mountains together in the evening. I was wondering if you could go with us."
When Shen Dacheng opened his mouth, Shen Xinyue naturally refused.
Shen Sanyue immediately shouted that he wanted to go with him.
There are more than 20 households in the village, and each household has one or two people.
There were more than thirty people in total, all gathered under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village.
When he saw Qi Yunshu standing in the queue, Shen Sanyue subconsciously asked: "Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm going to hunt bears."
Shen Sanyue looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "With your small body, not only did you not catch the bear, but you were caught by others."
Qi Yunshu deliberately straightened his back and glanced at her condescendingly.
The meaning is self-evident, he has a small body, and who knows who is only reaching his chin.
Shen Sanyue took advantage of him not paying attention and stepped on his instep. Seeing him blushing and trying his best to endure it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Shen Xinyue also saw the mother and son of the Shi family who came to see her off.
Shi Yuan's tall and thin figure looked a bit dazzling standing among a group of women.
However, for the sake of her son's safety, she would not let her son take any risks.
Soon everyone picked up weapons such as machetes, bows and arrows, and marched into the mountains holding torches.
In order not to miss it, everyone was divided into small groups of three or five, with close distances in between. This way, it would be easier to take care of each other when encountering a big black bear.
Just as everyone cautiously continued walking up the mountain, a big bear's roar suddenly came from the distance.
The hearts of everyone present immediately rose to their throats.
"There!" As one person's sharp eyes spotted the traces of the big bear, the others immediately gathered around.
Perhaps stimulated by the fire, the big black bear suddenly rushed in one direction.
Qi Yunshu didn't expect that he was so unlucky. He just stood in a random position and the big bear accidentally bumped into him.
The whole person was so frightened that he completely forgot how to react.
"Be careful!" Shen Sanyue grabbed his arm and pulled him back hard. The two of them were unsteady and fell to the ground.
In just this moment, the big bear ran away from the two of them and got into the bushes.
Shen Xinyue chased after its figure, followed closely by Shen Gui'an and Shen Ergou.
Although they were very fast, they still let the big bear run away in the end.
"Damn it, I saw it just now. I just blinked and didn't know where it hid."
"Shhh" Shen Xinyue suddenly made a silent gesture towards the two of them.
At this time, behind the quiet bushes, the roar of the big black bear came again.
The voice sounded very angry.
Shen Xinyue picked up her bow and arrow and quietly moved towards the direction of the sound.
I saw the big black bear standing with its back to a few people, as if there was some danger ahead, and it was treading in place uneasily.
This is a perfect opportunity!
Shen Xinyue gestured towards Shen Gui'an and the others, then quickly raised the bow and arrow, using all her arm strength to draw the bow to its full capacity.
Aim at the black bear's body and release your finger.
The arrow shot straight towards the big black bear.
What was originally a sure thing, who knew that the heavy body of the big black bear suddenly fell down.
The arrow grazed the fur on its back and shot straight into a person's body.
The man groaned and fell to the ground.
"Oops, sister, you killed someone!" Shen Gui'an quickly ran to the man's side, only to see that the man was covered in blood and had an arrow stuck firmly in his abdomen.
The arrow tail was still trembling slightly because of the great force.
The big black bear that fell next to him had lost its breath.
Shen Ergou rolled his eyes: "This person doesn't seem to be from our village. If it turns out that my eldest sister is a murderer, and no one is here right now, why not bury him on the spot."
"I think this idea works. If you dig a hole quickly, no one else will know."
Shen Gui'an started to move as he spoke, and while digging a hole, he did not forget to persuade: "Don't worry, sister, without your arrow, this person would definitely not be able to survive such a serious injury. In fact, you are doing a good thing. Let him have a good time."
Shen Xinyue walked up to the man, squatted down and reached out to touch the end of his nose, then touched the artery next to his neck to make sure he was still breathing, and hurriedly stopped the two of them.
"Second brother, this man is still alive. Stop digging. Go ask someone to carry him back."
Shen Gui'an was puzzled: "You may be dead soon. Second sister, please don't be soft-hearted. It would be unlucky to die at home. It's better to bury her here."
"It would be better to die at home." Shen Xinyue murmured, and then urged the two of them to call someone quickly.
Although they didn't agree in their hearts, Shen Gui'an and Shen Ergou still followed their instructions and called for people.
Shen Xinyue went to the space to get some medicine to stop bleeding, and applied acupuncture to protect the man's heart.
Just after everything was done, Shen Dacheng rushed over with everyone.
Everyone struggled to carry the man and the big black bear back to the village.
Because it was getting late, the big black bear was placed in the yard of Shen Dacheng's house and will be disposed of tomorrow.
The man was carried back to Shen Xinyue's home.
"This man is injured like this, I'm afraid he won't survive, right? It's so pitiful to see such a big living person." Mrs. Shen went out with a basin of blood and water, and came back not long after with a basin of clean water.
"Nai, it's getting late. The little ones have to go to school tomorrow. I can take care of them here."
Mrs. Shen put down the basin as instructed, called a few children and left.
