Chapter 12 Chapter 10: Disfigured like a ghost

In the Daxing'an Mountains forest area, I have seen a severely disfigured person with a faceless degree of injury, which simply stunned the people who saw it.Half of his head, with no hair on the top of his head, is a terrible scar. Half of his face has almost no muscles, no flesh on the side of the nose, and one eye is completely missing. The scar is uneven due to the serious injury. , and there are sarcoid tumors that came out of nowhere. The degree of horror is really indescribable. It is guaranteed that when this person appears on any occasion, everyone will hold their breath and stare at him in horror.

It can't be considered a miracle that a person who was injured so badly survived.This person usually wraps half of his head and face with a piece of cloth to avoid being too frightening. (Because I was so impressed with this person, I used his appearance on a character in a novel.) Wrapped in cloth, there is always time to untie it, the first time I saw such a cute face, it was really like seeing a ghost face.This person's temper is not weird, but after getting acquainted with him, he couldn't bear it once and asked: How did you get hurt so badly? The man let out a long sigh and told the reason. After listening to it, it was really unbelievable, and he couldn't laugh or cry!

Among the ferocious beasts in the mountains, apart from wolves and wild boars, the biggest one is the black bear.Black bears, called blind bears by the locals, generally weigh more than 500 catties, can walk upright, look very funny, a little clumsy, mostly active at night, and the range of activities will not go up too high mountains , the farmland at the foot of the mountain is its favorite place to appear. Xiong Blind is very stupid. If he breaks into a corn field at night, he will stand up, pick a branch of corn with his front paw, and clamp it under his side, and then go to pick a second branch. When it repeats this action, the first branch of corn it picks has already fallen to the ground.

Therefore, the farmers hate the black bear breaking into the field, wreaking havoc overnight, destroying a large area of ​​crops, and what it gets is always a corn!Most farmers set traps to catch black bears, but they only dare to catch small ones. After they are caught, they are sold to tricksters to perform tricks. The trained cubs are also very interesting. The temperament of black bears is actually quite gentle. Even in the wild, if you encounter a black bear, there will be no danger. When you encounter such a huge furry monster for the first time, you can't help but be afraid. The traveler has experience and immediately said: "Don't be afraid." ,do not be afraid!

When people meet a black bear, if they want to fight, let alone one-on-one, ten-on-one is not a match for a bear. However, black bears rarely attack people actively. When people stand still, they just look around and leave. In the forest, once I have encountered black bears three times and have been safe so far, which is proof. However, if you meet a black bear, if you don’t know how to play it, it’s another matter. Black bears are very playful by nature, and they don’t necessarily have the malice to hurt others, but they just play with you lightly , people can't stand it! The ghost-like person mentioned at the beginning met a black bear.That night, he drank a lot of wine. People who are drunk will naturally behave abnormally. When they see a black bear, they will tease it. When the black bear is happy, he stands up and hugs him with two front legs. After a while, the black bear hugged him even tighter, and three ribs were broken at that time. Then, probably to show affection, the black bear stretched out its long and thick tongue, and licked his head and face.

The black bear's tongue was covered with thick, short and sharp thorns. The result of this licking turned this man into a ghost-like horror!He passed out at that time, and he didn't know how the black bear let him go. When he was found, everyone thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, under the extremely poor medical conditions, he survived! After hearing about the disfigurement of this man, I met a black bear again. Fortunately, there were quite a lot of people together at that time. The black bear wandered about ten meters away for a while and then left. At that time, the man looked like a ghost , unexpectedly surfaced in front of my eyes, a false alarm is really enough to bear.

The people who are best at setting traps to hunt bears are the Oroqen people.This is an ethnic minority in Northeast China. The entire ethnic group does not exceed 3,000 people, but they live in a very wide area. Near the forest area where they live, there is an Oroqen settlement with less than 100 people. No one can understand their own language, but most of them can speak Chinese. Since they have been hunting bears for a long time, they have more or less bear paws, which can be sold or exchanged.I once bought two bear's paws from them, but one of these eight treasures tastes really unflattering. It tastes like chewing wax and you have to chew it a few times. It can't even bite into it. How to eat it?

It was only later that I learned that the cooking process of bear paws is very complicated, and I don’t know how many ingredients are needed before they can be served on the table. If they are boiled in water like this, the treasures will naturally be wasted. But later, I ate bear paws in a big restaurant, and the taste was no different from beef tendon. The natural number of black bears seems to be decreasing, so they should be included in the list of protected animals!This kind of big beast is often seen in zoos.
