Chapter 18 Vladivostok (continued)
On a sunny morning, in the mottled forest, when the wind sways the shadows of trees, a bear emerged from the haystack and walked swaying, with a somewhat slack figure, like a thin man wearing a big dress swaying on the street.
This is a brown bear. Not long after waking up from hibernation, he slowly walked in the forest, looking around from time to time, and began to look for food.
My originally fat body has been consumed a lot after a cold winter, so my figure looks a little loose. Now I am looking for food to fill my stomach.
The wild fruits in the forest, the fish in the stream, and the panicked little animals are all food for brown bears.
Or there are rotten animal corpses, which are also one of its targets.
Not long after, a bloody smell caught the attention of the brown bear. It followed the smell, its steps were a little staggering, and it looked a little stupid.
Easy to deal with.
Chen Xiaowu thought so, holding his breath, quietly rode on the branch, and gently picked up the horn bow.
As a member of the expedition team, he followed the team to survey the terrain outside the city building site, hunted and obtained some food. At this time, he was ordered to "wait for the rabbit" and set up a trap to wait for the brown bear to come, and then...
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaowu looked at the ground not far away. There was a big tree there. There was a big wooden barrel under the tree. There were big holes on the side walls of the wooden barrel, and there were a few deer's internal organs in the barrel.
The brown bear attracted by the smell of blood will lean into the bucket to eat meat. At this time, its head is extended into the bucket, its chest is on the edge of the bucket, and its body is still standing.
Then set up a mechanism in the bucket and the iron cone inside will suddenly rush upwards and instantly pierce the bear's chest.
The bear has thick skin and rough flesh, and is strong. It seems like it is okay to get caught by several arrows. Therefore, if you want to hunt a bear, you will have to kill him with one blow. Therefore, it will be a big opportunity to kill him on the spot. Even if he does not die immediately, he will be severely injured.
Chen Xiaowu waited for his prey to take the bait with hope. He had used this kind of trap to hunt bears before, but in the Central Plains, the hair of bears is black, that is, black bears. This brown bear is rare.
And the size of this bear is larger than that of the bear Chen Xiaowu has ever seen.
He looked at the trolley from a distance and estimated it, thinking that if he stood in front of the trolley, the height of the trolley when he was on all sides would probably reach his chin.
When Chen Xiaowu thought of such a big bear becoming his prey, he was excited and quietly watched the tamper approach the wooden barrel and approached death.
The brown bear came to the near the wooden barrel, looked left and right, sniffed again, leaned forward, but suddenly raised his forefoot, and then slapped it, and with a "pop", the seemingly solid wooden barrel was slapped apart.
The brown bear leaned over to eat the internal organs that fell on the side, and suddenly an iron cone jumped up from the ground and rubbed past the brown bear.
If he missed a blow, the brown bear was frightened and turned around and ran away. His speed gradually became faster and he was no longer as staggering as before.
Chen Xiaowu, who was riding on the branch, had already drawn out an arrow and placed it on the bow to aim at the prey.
The arrowhead of this arrow is a hunting arrowhead, as the name suggests, it is a hunting arrowhead. It is a popular style recently. Each of the wings has an open blade, which is extremely sharp. From the side, the arrowhead looks like the word "umbrella".
Such an arrow can cause huge wounds after hitting the prey, so that even if the prey does not die on the spot, it will be bleeding profusely and fall to the ground without running far.
In the flash, Chen Xiaowu drew the arrow, pulled the string, aimed, and released the string in one go. He hunted the arrow off the string, and then shot into the brown bear's neck.
After a "puff" sound, blood splattered everywhere.
Then several arrows flew over, all of them hitting the brown bear. The huge body trembled and cried, struggling to run forward, leaving behind blood stains.
The brown bear fell to the ground in less than fifty steps after running out, and pulled out for a while, but there was no movement.
Chen Xiaowu, who was quickly climbing down the tree, walked to the brown bear's corpse with his companions. When he saw this huge creature, he couldn't help but be shocked: "What a big bear, it's probably not easy to see it in the Central Plains!"
It is said that there are many rare treasures overseas, and in the wild places overseas, wild beasts are larger than those in the Central Plains. For young people such as Chen Xiaowu, the experience of "exploring" overseas is really worth going back and bragging.
This bear is very heavy and it is impossible for them to drag it back to the camping site, so according to the old rules, cut off the bear paws, peel off the bear skin, dig out the bear gall, and then pick out the bear meat and "pack it".
The remaining internal organs, minced meat and skeletons were left in place, which was considered to worship the local mountain god.
As for whether the local mountain god can understand Chinese language, it doesn't matter.
Everyone is familiar with this kind of work, and they draw out their knife and do it as soon as they say it.
In the busy time, more people walked out of the woods, wearing coats, ring-lock armor, and strong bows and crossbows, looking like soldiers and hunters.
The leader Chen Midou was quite satisfied when he saw his nephew Chen Xiaowu and his companions hunting a big bear. He looked at the woods with "exotic style" and felt a little moved.
He personally led the expedition team to survey and hunt the outside of the city site. After several days, he had a lot of harvest. Although it is spring now, the wild animals here are not only abundant but also very fat. If it is placed in the Central Plains, it is probably not a good hunting ground for everyone to snatch the heads.
The reason why everyone is empty today is because they found traces of the brown bear yesterday. In order to avoid the large amount of bloody smell, they have been enduring it until now.
"Uncle! This bear is so big!"
Chen Xiaowu shouted excitedly, and opened his bear skin with his companions to announce the good news to the general.
The general refers to Chen Midou, as the elder of the Hulin Army, the emperor Yuan Cong. After more than ten years, Chen Midou has become a general.
Seeing that the fresh bear skin connected to the bear's head was quite complete, Chen Midou nodded with satisfaction, signaling his nephew to put the bear skin into the backpack, and then asked everyone to seize the time, pack the bear paw, bear gall and bear meat, and hurry back to the camping site.
While busy, Chen Xiaowu asked his uncle: "Uncle, this place is really good, much better than his hometown!"
Chen Midou patted his nephew's shoulder: "That's the place where His Majesty kissed him, of course it's a good place."
"Uncle, do you really want to guard here? What should I do if my aunt and nephew do?"
"What should I do? Keep living a good life in Xiyang!"
"Then...Uncle, when will we return to the Central Plains?"
"It will take three to five years." Chen Midou finished speaking and looked at his nephew: "Why, do you want to get married?"
"Ah...no no, no, I just think that my uncle is so old that he is separated from his aunt, so it's so pitiful..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiaowu was kicked by Chen Midou: "Age? What are you talking about! After Vladivostok is built, your aunt will bring her nephew to live here for a long experience."
"You can hunt in this ghost place, but where can you live permanently!" Chen Xiaowu complained, and Chen Midou disagreed: "What do you know! In the future, Vladivostok will be a big city."
"In the future, Vladivostok will have a large harbor, a large shipyard, a military weapon supervisor, an industry, a line of cargo warehouses, a depot, a shop, a large residential area, a school, and a heating."
"At that time, the permanent residents will have tens of thousands of households, garrisons and families, and the fleets stationed in the mooring are probably not a small Xiyang."
"At that time, Vladivostok will be the capital of the General Administration, becoming the important place for the dynasty in the north and east coast, and a maritime trade base. Merchants gathered and ships were flying in, and land prices could not be rushed upwards. Tsk tsk..."
Chen Xiaowu listened and looked disbelief: "Uncle, I haven't read a book, don't lie to me..."
"It's amazing that I haven't read a book! When you have time, go find a document to learn to write and recognize words! Your Majesty regards Vladivostok as a fulcrum. In the future, it will leverage Liaodong. What do you know!"
"Uncle, what is the fulcrum?"
"If you want to use a crowbar to pry a stone, you have to have something to hold the crowbar, right?"
Chen Xiaowu nodded in a slight sense of understanding: "Oh, but what does this have to do with Liaodong?"
Chen Midou looked at his nephew and felt a little disappointed: "East-to-earth attack, understand?"
"Uh... what was my uncle said...Yingzhou Liucheng to the west, Vladivostok to the east and east?"
"That's right, just like Yizhou and Jiaozhou, one north and one south attack Nanzhong, so the savages in the south cannot jump up." Speaking of this, Chen Midou suddenly pinched his nephew's wrist:
"Look, is it stable if you pinch your thumb and index finger like this?"
Chen Xiaowu grinned in pain: "Step, stead..."
Chen Midou let go of his hand and looked at his nephew, meaningful: "You must work hard and strive to lead the team to explore north, find a Fengshui treasure land to settle down and set up a village, attract all your good brothers, and settle into villages and towns. What's the name... The Chen family in Lubin, like the Gao family in Bohai, is here to spread branches and leaves for the Chen family!"
"Ah? What's the best place for this ghost place? Women are ugly again..."
