Chapter 299: Just to Make People Laugh

Wang An didn't pay attention to the three people who were shouting and crawling, and drove the sled past them.

Because not only did he not know the situation, but these three people, although they didn't carry guns, were all dressed in hunting gear.

Speaking of hunting gear, many people might not understand what's going on.

Everyone who enters the mountains will try to wear high-top shoes or boots; if they are boots, they are short boots, over the ankle, but below the calf, not long boots, and then wear leggings.

The clothes on their bodies will be sewn with many pockets, used to carry bullets or essential items for entering the mountains; there will be an outer belt on the waist, with ropes hanging on it, and hunting knives or axes tucked in.

These, in fact, are hunting gear.

As for leggings, they are actually wider cloth strips, also called binding straps, but one end is split.

It's no problem to call this thing an old lady's foot-binding cloth, because there is no essential difference between leggings and foot-binding cloth.

And the trouser legs are tucked into the shoe tops, and then they start to wrap the shoe tops with this binding strap; this end of the binding strap wrapping the shoe top is not split.

After wrapping about three turns, the binding strap is wrapped diagonally upward for about two and a half turns, then it must be turned over, and then wrapped for two and a half turns, and then turned over again.

In this way, it can always keep this binding strap tightly attached to the trousers.

Finally, below the knee, tie a knot with the split end of the leggings, and it's done.

Leggings are not something anyone would wear if they aren't entering the mountains; one must know that this thing is not comfortable when wrapped around the legs.

But there is no way; as long as you enter the mountains, if you don't wear this thing, you will definitely suffer.

First, and most importantly, the calves can't stand long-term running.

So no matter what season, as long as you enter the mountains, leggings must be worn.

Secondly, in winter, leggings can prevent snow from entering the shoes and prevent cold wind from drilling into the trousers.

In summer, leggings can prevent snakes, insects, and ants from drilling into the trousers and biting people.

And, this thing can also prevent shoes from falling off.

If Niu Dali had worn leggings at the beginning, he might not have lost his shoes and then had his feet frozen to the point of amputation.

Wang An, besides being a good shot, never thought he was better at hunting than anyone else.

So how could Wang An, alone, solve something that three people couldn't solve?

However, many things, or rather many "idle things," are things you find yourself, and you can't hide from them.

And once "idle things" come, they never shift according to people's ideas.

These three people saw Wang An's sled as if they had seen a savior; after coming out of the woods, they chased after the sled.

While chasing, the three were also shouting for help:

"Help, hero."

"Comrade, give us a ride."

"Don't run, help..."

Wang An, although he didn't know the people in the nearby villages, determined that these three were definitely not from the nearby villages.

Or rather, these three were vagrants.

Because from the shouting of the three, Wang An could hear that the three's accents were definitely not local.

It must be said that these three were also tiger enough; they didn't say what happened, nor what was chasing them, just shouting for help.

In this place where people are rarely seen, let alone Wang An, who is naturally suspicious, even others would be puzzled!

Because everyone doesn't know each other, you three are outsiders, and you are all grown men; what are you doing here? Who dares to believe you?

So, Wang An, who didn't want to pay attention to the three, took out his big 54 pistol after hearing the shouting.

He loaded it on the fly and fired a "bang" at the snow in front of them.

Wang An didn't speak, but the meaning was clear: don't chase, get lost.

Sure enough, after one shot, the three stopped instantly, then the three said something to each other and drilled into the woods on the other side.

Just as Wang An turned his head, intending to continue his journey with peace of mind, he heard a roar of a brown bear from behind.

Wang An's spirit was instantly shaken, but there was no panic; without looking back, he pulled out the Type 56 semi-automatic from under the grass curtain. Wang An was too familiar with this sound, because the roar of a brown bear is much rougher than that of a black bear.

Whether it's a black bear or a brown bear, their eyesight is nothing, and they can't see very far.

But their sense of smell is very awesome; when looking for food, if they are upwind, they can smell it from several li away, dozens of times more powerful than a hunting dog's nose.

After Wang An pulled out the Type 56, he turned around quickly and aimed his gun at the same time.

Then Wang An, who was aiming with his gun, was dumbfounded.

If he wasn't mistaken, this brown bear should have a grudge with those three, otherwise those three wouldn't have run like that.

So logically speaking, this brown bear should also be chasing those three, but maybe because the two horses or Wang An had a strong body odor.

This brown bear actually gave up chasing those three and chased after Wang An's sled.

Wang An was instantly furious; does this brown bear know who it should be chasing? Does it have no self-awareness?

Wang An really wanted to shout at the brown bear:

They provoked you, you should continue chasing them; why are you chasing me?

But bears don't understand human speech, so Wang An didn't shout; besides, Wang An had to accept the money delivered to his door!

Although due to the angle, Wang An could only see the front face of this brown bear, it looked like it wasn't much smaller than a horse.

A brown bear can't outrun a horse, but with the horse pulling a sled, the speed would naturally slow down.

So after running less than two li, Wang An stopped the two horses.

Then Wang An turned around and sat on the sled, held his breath for a moment, and pulled the trigger twice in succession.

After two "bang" gunshots, two bullets flew out.

Although at this time the brown bear was about 500 meters away from the sled, it was already beyond the effective range of the Type 56 semi-automatic.

But Wang An's marksmanship was very awesome.

So, after two gunshots, Wang An saw from the sight that the brown bear had fallen down.

It must be said that the Type 56 semi-automatic is truly easy to use.

Wang An observed for a while, seeing that the brown bear seemed to be dead, so he pulled the reins and shouted "Yun'er, Yun'er" a few times.

The big horse, following Wang An's shout and the direction of the reins, made an on-the-spot turn.

After turning, Wang An observed the brown bear while saying "Gee" lightly.

The spirituality of animals like horses is second only to dogs.

So when the master says "Gee" lightly, it knows the master wants it to walk slowly.

And if the master shouts "Gee" very loudly, the horse will start to run fast as soon as it starts.

And if the master shouts "Gee" several times in a row, the horse will definitely run faster and faster.

And Wang An said "Gee" once and didn't say it again, so the big horse and the big mare kept a very slow speed and approached the brown bear.

Wang An observed for a while and said "Gee" again, but the voice was much louder.

The big horse and the big mare naturally quickened their pace.

A distance of 400 meters is not far, but if walking slowly, these 400 meters would take three or four minutes.

So, two minutes later, when they were twenty or thirty meters away from the brown bear, Wang An stopped the two horses again.

Then he aimed his gun at the brown bear's forehead and fired again.

After the gunshot, he saw the brown bear twitch; only then did it look like it was truly dead.

Wang An saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh.

Because in so many hunts, whether it was a brown bear or a black bear, this was the first time Wang An had seen a real bear playing dead.

It can be foreseen that if Wang An hadn't fired a supplementary shot just now and had approached recklessly...

The consequences would have been very hard to predict.

This reminded Wang An of a sentence from an ancient text he studied in school:

"How much can the deception of beasts be? Just to make people laugh."

Thanks to the big boss for the monthly ticket, thank you all!

Monthly tickets reaching one thousand, it is said to be useful to the author; I don't know what it's useful for, anyway, I've never reached one thousand, thank you again!
