Chapter 382 The Change in Sun Weimin's Attitude
Li Ju'an crawled out from under the Gobi bear's body, covered in blood.
Blood was streaming from his right eye, flowing down from his forehead to the corner of his eye, then down his cheek to his chin. Gushes of blood flowed down from the top of his head as if it were free.
Chen Xiangqian couldn't see clearly, and with trembling hands, he pressed the shutter button. The Seagull brand camera shutter clicked, and the flash appeared, capturing the scene of Li Ju'an crawling out from under the bear's mouth.
He cried out in fright, his voice trembling, "Brother Li, you got slapped by a bear's paw?"
Sun Weimin, Lao Chen, and Lao Li were also shocked. Who didn't know how powerful a bear's paw was? The old hunter in the village had half his scalp missing, and a section of his skull was dented, all because he had been slapped on the head by a bear years ago. A bear's paw like that would either kill or seriously injure someone; it was a miracle if someone survived.
Despite the pain in his ribs, Sun Weimin limped forward, shining the light of his flashlight at Li Ju'an, and shouted, "Li Ju'an, you bastard, don't die in front of me! You're a real idiot, you didn't even bring enough bullets, yet you dared to charge forward. You deserve to be slapped by a bear, it'll kill you so you can reincarnate sooner."
He cursed harshly, but despite the pain of his broken ribs, he managed to run more than fifty meters and crawl to Li Ju'an's side. He was in so much pain that cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but he carefully held Li Ju'an's head and used a flashlight to check on him.
Chen Xiangqian's camera ran out of battery, the flash was weak, and it finally shut down with a click, unable to be stopped any longer.
The only source of light for both teams was the flashlight in Sun Weimin's hand.
Li Ju'an opened his mouth to retort, glancing at the hunting dogs. Sun Weimin, his face darkening with anger, shouted, "Still moving? People are going to be reincarnated anyway. The sooner they die, the sooner they'll be reborn. Why are you still concerned about the dogs' lives? What, do you want a companion on the road? You'll feel better if you're buried with the hunting dogs later?"
Despite the excruciating pain, Sun Weimin took off his coat and used the lining of his sleazy leather coat to lightly wipe away the bloodstains on Li Ju'an's head, exposing the wound so that it could be seen more clearly.
His eyes were fixed on the wound on Li Ju'an's forehead. After seeing the large patch of blood, he pressed his dry lips together and remained silent, only focusing on wiping the blood away with the lining of his coat.
He started wiping from his chin, moving upwards along his cheeks to the corners of his eyes...
He couldn't find any wounds in those locations, which made him even more anxious, and his hands trembled even more violently. The wounds on his chin and cheeks were easy to treat; if his eye was damaged, he could just become one-eyed. He hated Li Ju'an, and thought that Li Ju'an being one-eyed wouldn't be so bad.
But he couldn't find any wounds near the eyes or the corners of the eyes; only the forehead remained.
Sun Weimin's hand, which was wiping the top of his head with the inner lining, suddenly stopped, and his eyes revealed fear and terror.
Seeing him like this, Chen Xiangqian cursed, "You sissy, move aside, let me check Brother Li's body."
Just as Chen Xiangqian was about to snatch the lining from Sun Weimin's hand, Sun Weimin kicked him over and cursed, "Go back to being a good young master, what do you know?"
He continued to wipe Li Ju'an's head with the inner lining, each inch making the others even more anxious. There was no injury on the forehead, which meant there was a wound on the top of the skull. If the skull had fractured, the person would not survive.
But the top of Li Ju'an's head was clean. He could only examine the back of his head along the blood.
Every hunter knew better than anyone the location of the back of the head; if damaged, brain matter could spill out, and even if they carried Li Ju'an down the mountain, he would die suddenly on the way. Everyone was terrified, and Old Chen carefully turned Li Ju'an's body over.
Everyone took a deep breath and held it, expecting to see the dented back of their heads, as if slapped inward by a bear, just like that foolish old hunter in the village.
Sun Weimin pursed his dry lips, his trembling hands continuing to search, his mood growing heavier and heavier. He cursed, "Li Ju'an, if you were dead, I would be at peace. The sooner you die, the less I'll have to stare at your face. It's so annoying to look at you."
The ground reeked of bear blood, and the large tree where the three were hiding bore the marks of being broken after being shaken by the bear. All three knew that if Li Ju'an were attacked by the bear and had his skull smashed, it would be because he had rescued them in the dark of night and then suffered this unexpected misfortune.
Li Ju'an twisted his neck uncomfortably, slapped Sun Weimin's hand away, and cursed, "Always dawdling like a woman. Is this a slap from a bear? It's clearly a bump on the back of my head."
There was indeed a patch of blood on the back of his head, which made Sun Weimin and the others very anxious.
He pointed to the rocky outcrop where the Gobi bear had knocked him down. He had indeed hit the back of his head on the rocky outcrop, the impact was painful, and a large patch of blood had appeared. But the large, sticky bloodstain on his forehead wasn't his; it was blood flowing from the Gobi bear's shoulder, flowing onto his forehead, eyes, and chin.
Chen Xiangqian, Lao Chen, and Lao Li breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Li Ju'an was really alright, they relaxed and stood up.
Sun Weimin was stunned for a moment. After a frantic examination, he found that the blood was indeed from a Gobi bear, and Li Ju'an had only suffered a minor injury from bumping into a rock.
He was so enraged, as if he had been humiliated, that he stood up and started cursing: "What the hell! Playing dead for no reason! Li Ju'an, you bastard, you're really no good, do you find it funny to amuse people?"
Looking at the enraged Sun Weimin, Li Ju'an also cursed, "What the hell? You're acting crazy. I already told you I'm fine."
He stood up and used the cloth Chen Xiangqian handed him to wrap around the wound on the back of his head. He wrapped a cloth around his head and looked like a villager going to do farm work, which made Chen Xiangqian laugh out loud.
Then he hurriedly went to the ground to check the condition of the hunting dogs, and Chen Xiangqian followed him, checking the lightly injured and seriously injured hunting dogs one by one.
Sun Weimin shone a flashlight on the two of them, the light shining in the direction they were heading, and he stared at their backs without saying a word.
Seeing Sun Weimin's condition, Old Li squatted down to examine his ribs and leg bones for fractures. After this examination, Sun Weimin grimaced in pain, cold sweat rolling down his forehead, and he cursed, "Are you trying to kill me?"
Old Li shook his head and said, "The ribs are all dislocated, and the femur is broken. We have to get down the mountain as soon as possible. Old Chen, what did Engineer Qian say?"
Old Chen looked in the direction of the hydroelectric power station and said, "Li Pao came here after receiving a rescue message from the radio station. I reckon Qian Gong is already at the hydroelectric power station, and the rescue team will arrive by dawn."
It was still raining at night, making everyone even more soaked.
Fortunately, hunters are used to braving wind and rain, and even in stormy weather, they grit their teeth and push forward against the invisible white blizzard, so their physical condition is excellent. If it were a pampered young person from the city suffering like this, they would have fallen ill and developed a high fever long ago.
Old Li glanced at Chen Xiangqian and said, "This kid is a rich kid from the city, right? He's in pretty good physical condition, which is rare."
Sun Weimin snorted coldly, ignoring the group, and said, "We've already used up all our bullets on just one bear. What are we going to do with the other one? We're not going to make it through the night. Let's find a tree to climb and hide."
Old Chen said, "Still hiding in trees? We've climbed every tree around here that we can run from. That bear shook down seven or eight trees. I can brag about this for the rest of my life."
Chen Xiangqian, who was in the distance, heard them talking about him as a rich young master and had already pricked up his ears to listen. He hated it when people talked behind his back that he was the son of a division commander. He didn't want to make a name for himself outside because of his father's name. He was afraid that all his achievements would be met with a comment like, "Oh, he's the son of a division commander. That's to be expected."
So his efforts went unnoticed; everyone assumed he had connections and that he got preferential treatment through his father.
Chen Xiangqian shouted loudly, "Both bears have been killed!"
Sun Weimin's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Two bears? The other one is gone too? It was attacked as well? Who attacked it?"
