Chapter 537: Even Grazing It Is Enough to Be Dangerous

~7 min read 1,219 words

Wang An knows his body is trembling, but knowing is one thing, and his body is fundamentally not under the control of his brain.

Therefore, Wang An at this moment is like sifting bran, or like being in the freezing winter with wind raging, without clothes, his whole body constantly shaking.

To tell the truth, this feeling of the whole body trembling uncontrollably is quite uncomfortable.

Zhang Shuya discovers Wang An's appearance at this moment, grabs Wang An's arm with a pained face, and comforts Wang An softly: "It's okay, Xiao An, big sister is here, it's okay."

Zhang Shuya at this moment no longer has her previous fierceness; although Zhang Shuya looks younger than Wang An, at this moment, Zhang Shuya's sense of responsibility as a big sister is truly revealed.

Wang An squeezes out a smile:

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry, big sister."

Immediately following, the group also surrounds him; one can see that the group's eyes are also full of worried expressions.

To tell the truth, this kind of sudden situation is truly unexpected.

Although everyone knows it's not safe in these deep mountains, no one could have expected that Wang An would just take a simple dump and change a shovel handle, and also run into a big bear in such a strange way.

The key is that he was almost ruined by the big bear.

After a while, Wang An recovers quite a bit, looks at the group's concerned eyes, and says to the group with a smile: "Don't guard me anymore, I'm fine, it's just that this sudden thing gave me a fright."

Feng Chengmin hears this, walks up, and starts checking Wang An; however, this kind of check is just pinching here and there on his arms, legs, and ribs, asking while pinching "does it hurt here," "where does it hurt."

Actually, this is also the habit of mountain-goers, because when a person receives strong stimulation, adrenaline will skyrocket, which is what locals often call "when the hot blood is up."

People in this state don't have very developed sensory nerves; that is to say, even if their body has problems, they can't feel it.

Just like when fighting and getting angry, even if legs are broken and arms are fractured, they still fight for their lives, not feeling any pain at all.

But when things finally calm down, they will discover that the injured area is already too serious to handle well.

Therefore, this approach of Feng Chengmin's is to prevent this situation from happening in advance.

One must know that whether it is going into the mountains normally or panning for gold at this time, it is all in the deep mountains and old forests; if some kind of injury appears, one is truly helpless.

After Feng Chengmin finishes pinching everything and Wang An's answers are all "it doesn't hurt," Feng Chengmin finally feels relieved, but still opens his mouth to ask: "Think carefully, did you bump into anything? This is not a joke; that big animal, even grazing it is enough to be dangerous."

Wang An says with a smile: "I'm really fine; this bear actually tripped before pouncing on me; it can be considered quite unlucky, hahahaha..."

Feng Chengmin then has a smiling look and jokes:

"You kid is truly awesome, even taking a dump can cause trouble!"

Feng Chengmin's voice falls, and the group also looks at Wang An and laughs loudly; this kind of thing is truly rare in a hundred years.

Immediately following, Feng Chengmin pats Wang An on the shoulder and sighs:

"Oh my! It's truly fortunate; if something had really happened, how would I explain it to your parents? Day after day."

One can see that Feng Chengmin is also worried and has lingering fear; Wang An comforts Feng Chengmin with a smile:

"Don't worry, Uncle, nothing will happen."

Feng Chengmin nods, then turns and walks toward the big bear.

Confirming that Wang An is truly fine, the group also stands up one after another and follows Feng Chengmin.

Wang An, although his legs are still a bit soft, is basically fine, so he also walks forward.

After arriving at the big bear, the group looks at this behemoth in front of them and sighs.

"Yeah, if we hadn't run into Xiao An that time, the three of us would have damn near died there."

"Yeah, if we hadn't run into Xiao An that time, the three of us would have almost died there."

Ma Guoqiang agrees:

"That's right, ever since that time, I swore to myself that if there isn't an experienced hunter following, I will never hunt again."

These three people talk about the time they went into the mountains to hunt bears, and Wang Shuai and Feng Chengmin and others are also discussing the big bear.

One hears Wang Shuai ask curiously: "Uncle, you've hunted for so many years, have you ever seen such a big brown bear?"

The reason Wang Shuai calls Feng Chengmin "Uncle" is because Feng Chengmin is Wang An's relative, and Wang Shuai follows Wang An in calling him that.

In the Northeast, among friends with good relationships and of the same generation, if one meets a friend's relative and doesn't know the friend's relative, one generally follows the friend in addressing the friend's relative.

Therefore, not only Wang Shuai calls Feng Chengmin "Uncle," but Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya and others also have to call Feng Chengmin "Uncle."

These are local etiquette.

Feng Chengmin hears Wang Shuai's question, thinks for a while, and says:

"I hunted one once, that was 3 years ago; my big brother, second brother, and I, the three of us hunted it, and I haven't seen one this big since."

Sun Liang hears this and immediately asks curiously:

"Uncle, are you a 'gunner'?"

Feng Chengmin hears this, and his expression instantly freezes, because these words truly touched a certain pain in Feng Chengmin's heart.

So Feng Chengmin smiles awkwardly and says:

"No, I've hunted for so many years, but I haven't run into big claws or leopards yet."

Feng Chengmin finishes speaking, looks at Wang An with full envy, and then remains silent.

Wang An notices Feng Chengmin's expression but says nothing, because this kind of thing cannot be said.

It is mainly because Wang An also doesn't know why the standard for measuring a "gunner" must be having killed a tiger or a leopard.

As long as one hasn't killed one of these two, one can never be called a true "gunner."

One must know that with Feng Chengmin's hunting ability and hunting skills, as well as Feng Chengmin's marksmanship, he is not inferior to any "gunner."

At the very least, Wang An is ashamed of his own inferiority.

Looking at the big bear in front of him, Wang An says to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"Xueli, Old Five, you two go cut a few thick wooden poles; let's flip this big bear over, and then let's hurry up and take out the bear gall, otherwise the bear gall will melt in a while."

Mu Xueli and Wang Li hear this and answer almost at the same time:

"Yeah, brother-in-law (Okay, fourth brother)."

The two talk as they leave, and Wang Shuai and Wu Dong, seeing this, also follow.
