Chapter 23: Frightened Zhang Xingwang

When I got home, I handed the things I brought to the old lady. The old lady looked at the snacks, towels and other items in it and said in surprise.

"Why did you bring so many things? Are you having trouble living?"

"It's okay, grandma. These are all given to you by your grandson. We have them at home."

"Why are there two bottles of wine? They are so expensive."

The old man was smoking a cigarette to relieve his fatigue. When he heard that he had brought wine, he turned around and said in surprise:

“Still in a bottle”

He went over and looked at the bottle seriously and said:

"This is Fenjiu! I've seen this wine before. When the city leaders came to visit the families of martyrs in the village, they used this wine to toast the families. Your uncle Yougen also went over to have a few cups."

At this point, the old man showed a nostalgic expression, laughed and said:

"There was only a bottle bottom left, and that guy Yougen showed it off to the whole village. My grandson brought two bottles this time, and I have to let him have a good look tomorrow."

The old man was as happy as a child at this time.

This time, I could clearly feel that the old couple was more energetic. The old lady was stroking the towel beside them, smiling with satisfaction.

After dinner, the old lady asked Zhang Xingwang:

"How's your family doing lately? Are your mom and the others okay?"

"Family life has been good lately, and I've made some money. My fourth sister is also going to go back to school, and my second sister doesn't have to go out to dig wild vegetables every day."

"That's good. My dear grandson, tell grandma what you have been doing recently."

"My second sister knows this best. She will tell you."

The second sister next to him curled her lips after hearing this and looked at Zhang Xingwang with dissatisfaction.

"My second sister knows everything about grandma's family. I'm a little tired and want to go to bed."

When the old lady heard that her grandson was tired, she quickly let him go to bed.

Then the old couple began to ask the second sister about what had happened at home recently.

Listening to his second sister stumbling as she told his grandmother about how she made money by fishing, and the suppressed exclamations of his grandparents, Zhang Xingwang slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Xingwang headed for the mountain after dinner. He left behind his second sister, who looked resentful. She wanted to go with him and dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Xingwang tried his best to stop it, but was dragged away by the old lady to clean up the house amid the old couple's mutterings, "It's indeed a little darker."

We went deep into the forest and came to the place where we hunted wild sheep last time. We looked around and found no signs of prey activity. The sheep must have moved away.

Then he continued to move forward cautiously. He climbed up a big tree and looked around. There was a valley not far ahead, and there was a stream in the valley.

Thinking that this stream should be the water source for nearby animals, I set out towards the stream without hesitation. I walked and stopped along the way and came to the stream. I also caught a wild rabbit along the way.

The widest part of the stream is only three or four meters, and the deepest part is about one meter. It winds and twists and turns, dividing the narrow valley into two, and finally merges into the mountains.

Zhang Xingwang looked down and saw that the stream water was so clear that he could see the bottom, and groups of finger-sized fish were swimming leisurely.

There were indeed many traces left by animals of all sizes on the shore, and most of them looked very clear.

After checking along the stream, he found a hidden area among the rocks. After checking that there was no danger among the rocks, he ambushed there.

It was noon and the weather was very hot. Fortunately, there were a few big trees beside the rocks, and the shade of the trees brought some coolness to Zhang Xingwang, which was quite comfortable.

If the wild wasn't so dangerous, it would be a great place to sleep.

No animals came to drink water during the hot noon. Zhang Xingwang was not discouraged, but was confident that this stream was definitely the best hunting spot.

More than an hour passed and the sun was not so scorching. Suddenly, a badger trotted over from the woods not far ahead, apparently preparing to drink water from the stream.

Zhang Xingwang looked at the prey, calculating its position and the angle of his shot. Because the distance was far, he was ready to wait for it to stop and drink water before shooting.

Suddenly, the badger not far away stopped moving, and before Zhang Xingwang could react, it quickly ran back to the woods from which it came.

Just as Zhang Xingwang was about to get up and check, a low animal roar suddenly came from not far behind him.

He was so frightened that his whole body froze. Judging from the roar of the beast, it must be a large animal that could have made the badger run so quickly. Needless to say, the guy behind him would definitely not be picky about food.

He turned his stiff neck and looked behind him. A huge creature was slowly walking towards him from the edge of the woods behind him on the left.

Not far behind him on the right, a black bear was walking slowly towards the stream. Just as Zhang Xingwang looked at the black bear, the black bear seemed to feel his gaze and turned its head to look him in the eye.

After looking at each other, Zhang Xingwang's scalp suddenly felt tingling and cold sweat soaked his entire back.

I felt my heart beating faster and faster, and there was a buzzing sound in my ears. My hands and feet began to tremble unconsciously, and my mind went blank.

The black bear looked at him, then stood up, roared at him, and after its front legs landed on the ground, it rushed towards him.

Zhang Xingwang heard the second roar, and then his brain realized that this time was much more dangerous than the time he encountered the python. Moreover, this black bear and the one he saw in the zoo seemed to be different species.

Just by looking at each other, he could see the murderous intent on its face. He felt that the black bears in the zoo were just pets in captivity. Now this one was a real beast. Just a roar could make his limbs tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment, the body overcame the brain, Zhang Xingwang got up and ran forward without looking back. After running two steps, he remembered that he was the hunter.

While running, he turned his head, stretched out his trembling hand, and randomly shot bullets through space in the direction of the black bear.

Zhang Xingwang barely managed to calm down after hearing the sound of two bullets hitting flesh, accompanied by the black bear's painful roar. He saw that the black bear had fallen to the ground, so he began to adjust the trajectory and continued shooting.

After three or four minutes, the black bear was no longer moving not far from the rocks. Zhang Xingwang sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, trying to calm his pounding heart and trembling legs.

I complained in my heart, it's all Brother Tong's fault, he didn't even give me a scanning function. Who can stand such a big guy suddenly yelling at you from behind? I felt wronged as I thought about it.

I took a pack of cigarettes from the space and smoked two before I calmed myself down completely.

I looked over at the huge monster underground. It looked to be nearly 300 meters long, with a V-shaped white spot on its chest. It must have weighed more than kilograms.

At this moment, he was lying quietly on the ground, with bright red blood flowing beside him. There were five bullet holes on his neck and chest, and the fatal wound should be on his neck.

Zhang Xingwang had fantasized about encountering a black bear, but he didn't expect to meet it in this way.

I vaguely remember that this guy usually moves around at night? I don't know whether my luck is good or bad.

I put the black bear into the space and checked the bullets in the space. There were only fourteen bullets left. I was so scared that I just fired the gun and didn't even remember how many bullets I fired. It seemed that most of them missed the target.

Looking at the fourteen bullets left in the space, I felt insecure. Thinking that I had already hunted a big catch today, I hurried back.

This time it was really dangerous. Along the way, Zhang Xingwang was a little suspicious. When they were near the wild goats, they heard the calls of wild goats in the bushes not far away.

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang silently encouraged himself and rushed forward with gritted teeth.
