Chapter 21 Polar Bears and Honeycombs
(New book, please accept and recommend)
The brown bear was stunned by this "blow to the head" and shook its chubby bear head. Its two eyes were fixed on the monster not far away, its claws were pawing in the water, and a low roar came from its mouth.
The bear is a ferocious animal. It usually looks docile, silly, clumsy and slow, but once the bear is provoked and goes crazy, even the tigers in the mountains will have to take a detour.
This bear is in a state of irritation right now!
Needless to say, the attack power of bears goes without saying. People often think that because a bear looks chubby, it must not be able to run fast and must be very slow.
This is actually a wrong perception. Bears are definitely not slow in running speed!
The brown bear launched an attack, slapped the river water with its right paw, and rushed towards Cheng Fan under the high splash of water.
The river beach is very shallow, and the current has almost no resistance to the bear's speed. It is not far from Cheng Fan, and it only takes a few seconds to reach Cheng Fan.
The evil wind blew into the nose, and the brown bear stood upright with its fangs exposed in its mouth, rushing towards it, like a thick bear wall pressing down on it.
Cheng Fan's first thought was not how to react and avoid, but how long it had been since this guy brushed his teeth?
As soon as the bear opened its mouth, a stench hit him.
Cheng Fan rolled his eyes, looking at the brown bear's fur with a rather malicious look. When the bear was about to pounce on him, the sharp claws of his right claw popped out and merged together, like a sharp knife.
The long sword penetrated out, and his body collided with the brown bear.
"boom"
Cheng Fan was knocked back several meters and fell into the water.
"Ho, ho"
The brown bear let out a hoarse roar, and a large blood hole was gushing hot bear blood under the fat bear's head and neck.
The bear stood upright, trying to cover the bloody hole where its life was losing with its two fat paws, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't stop it and couldn't stop the flow of its own life.
"Bang, bang"
The upright body of the brown bear fell down, causing a splash in the river. Its eyes gradually lost focus, and the bear blood flowing from the cut part of its neck soaked into the water, dyeing a large area of the river red.
This brown bear is not very big, about 1.67 meters tall. It must have left its mother bear to live alone in the past year or two.
Cheng Fan dragged the bear carcass ashore from the river and began to process the bear. He carefully cut off the bear skin with his claws.
Just before he killed the brown bear with one blow, he suddenly thought that he could get a bear skin and make a beast covered in bear skin.
Relying on his sharp claws and strong strength, Cheng Fan peeled off the entire bear skin with its head removed without much effort, then cut the bear meat, and washed the bear skin and bear meat in the flowing river water.
A few wooden sticks were used to build a simple wooden frame, the bearskin was tied to the wooden frame with straw ropes, spread out, and left to dry in the sun.
If the fur that has just been peeled off the animal is dried without opening it on a rack, the fur will lose water and shrink, resulting in unevenness and a small area.
This is some little knowledge Cheng Fan learned from watching Ed Stafford’s wilderness survival show in his previous life.
After drying the cut bear meat on the rocks by the river, Cheng Fan looked at the four brown bear paws placed on the same rock, turned around and ran into the forest. He remembered seeing them in the nearby woods when he came.
I've seen bees infested.
When I ran into the woods, it was already past afternoon and the sun was high in the sky.
The temperature here is still not high, and even though the sun is shining, I can still feel a chill.
The forest was lit up by the sun, and wisps of light fell through the gaps between the forest tips and leaves, shining on the ground, making the forest look extremely clean and clear.
The empty mountain was quiet but the birds were singing loudly. The "buzzing" sound of the wings was made even louder by the quiet woods. Under a tree, Cheng Fan looked up and saw a big tree seven or eight meters above the ground.
There is a big honeycomb hanging on the branch.
Many bees came in and out of the densely packed bee holes. To be precise, it was a hornet's nest. Each one was larger than ordinary bees, and they came and went in swarms.
Cheng Fan swung his tail under the tree and looked up, wondering how these guys could survive in the long winter? Could it be that they couldn't hibernate?
In this regard, Cheng Fan could only lament the miracle of life and the wonder of nature.
The tree is a birch tree, which is a cold-resistant tree. It is very tall and has white bark that is flammable. It is a good fire starter in the wild.
Seeing that the hive is so high off the ground and how thick the tree is, it is not advisable to climb the tree or cut it down directly.
Cheng Fan looked around and found a larch tree that was about ten meters tall and had a short trunk. He spent a lot of brute force to cut the small pine tree down without removing the excess branches. Cheng Fan carried it
When it got to the bottom of the hive, he prepared to poke the hive down with a tree.
He had done this with his friends many times during his childhood. Although the economy was not developed at that time, the mountains and rivers were beautiful and the environment was very good. Rabbits, pheasants and bamboo pheasants could often be seen in the mountains.
, wild orchids and various fungi also grow in the forest.
Whenever farming is busy in spring or summer, after a rain, there are pine flower mushrooms, egg mushrooms (local name), duck egg mushrooms, umbrella mushrooms and other delicacies in the mountains that are ripe, and they will follow a group of friends to the river to fish.
Go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, catch bamboo cows, etc.
Of course, since there was no sugar to eat at that time, they were eager for sweet honey. After discovering a honeycomb, they all started poking at the honeycomb together.
I didn't know the technique at first, so I was chased and stung by bees. My hands, feet, and face were all swollen to fat, and I was licking a spoonful of honey and laughing from ear to ear.
Thinking back to those times, I lived in poverty but was happy and joyful. And those years finally turned into beautiful childhood memories in my consciousness, gone with the wind and never come back!
Cheng Fan grabbed the pine tree, which was about ten meters long, and used the branches and leaves at the top of the pine tree to push upward. Immediately, the hive was swaying and was about to fall.
If it doesn't work once, try it again.
Cheng Fan's poke caused the army in the hive to dispatch. Guarding worker bees drilled out from the beehives of each nest, "buzzing" and flapping their wings, forming a black cloud looking for the intruder. They would risk their lives at the cost of the intruder.
Defend the hive at a cost and punish the offenders.
Cheng Fan didn't hide away, and the bees immediately spotted the guy under the tree who was poking happily with a long stick.
That's right, it's him. Brothers, follow me!
"buzz"
"buzz"
A small group of black clouds rushed towards Cheng Fan, crawling all over his body, from his legs to his tail, from his abdomen to his upper limbs, to his head and eyes. It was a scene that people with trypophobia are afraid of. Many wasps crawled on Cheng Fan.
He was covered up, and only the stinging needles were exposed, which pierced Cheng Fan's flesh and injected the bee venom into the inside.
But it was of no use. After the wasps finished stinging themselves, one by one fell from Cheng Fan's body, as if they had just performed some indescribable activity, were exhausted, and had their bodies hollowed out.
