Men and women eating in the courtyard

"No, I just chased a wild boar cub and it was snatched away by a leopard."

The one who answered was the young man Li Xuewu saw just now. If you look carefully at this moment, he looks like a 18-nine-year-old. He is wearing patchwork clothes and a dog-skin hat with some broken hair. His hand is still soothing the dog that keeps roaring. .

Li Xuewu glanced at him. This young man had obviously played and gotten along with his dog all year round. After petting him twice, the dog stopped barking.

Li Xuewu just saw a light yellow shadow, but he didn't see clearly what it was. There were so many people in front of him, and there were so many people entering the forest together, but he couldn't shoot randomly.

To be able to dare to grab food despite so many people entering the forest, it seems that the big cat is also very hungry.

Li Xuewu put away his gun and said with a smile: "It seems that we are chasing in the right direction. How many small wild boars were found?"

Several young people looked at each other and said: "I just found one, it must have escaped."

Li Xuewu nodded, gestured towards the surrounding team and continued to chase, and then asked the young people in front of him: "Are you afraid? If you are, go back to the roadside and wait for us."

"How is that possible? Keep going!"

"That's right, what's so scary about a big cat?"

These young people encouraged each other and wanted to continue chasing forward.

Li Xuewu didn't say much, waved his hand and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Start running, if you rest for a while, the piglets will be able to lay piglets."

When several young people saw Li Xuewu's joking encouragement, they all smiled and led the hunting dogs and chased him forward.

In order to catch up with the horizontally advancing team, these people all increased their speed.

Li Xuewu saw that several people were running no slower in the mountains than on the plains. When running through the forest, they would sway left and right to avoid the branches without affecting their speed.

These are really good soldiers for the mountain troops. Li Xuewu thought that he would slowly train the escort to have the ability to fight in the city. Climbing and leg strength are an important factor.

Li Xuewu saw that Mr. Zhao's pace was not slow, and it was not difficult to follow the others, so he increased his speed.

This group of people was really "tyrannical". There were eight teams of more than 40 people pulling the horizontal line deep into the forest, with chickens flying, dogs jumping and rabbits running around along the way.

The snow in the forest is not thick, and in some places there is even no snow. The frost and snow are all hanging on the trees. The ground is covered with a thick layer of leaves and rotten soft soil, which also provides habitat for small animals such as pheasants and rabbits. and places to forage.

Of course, omnivorous animals also like to move in the forest. For example, sometimes wild boars will come under the trees to eat the fruits of the trees.

When Li Xuewu steps on it, it sometimes sinks in. This is not because there is mud, but because the leaves accumulate and corrode over the years, forming a loose structural layer that cannot withstand the weight of the human body or people running on it, so there will be sinking. .

This is a source of danger. Sometimes you may sprain your feet if you don't know the depth. What's more serious is that this kind of place may be the habitat of poisonous snakes. Fortunately, the group of hunting dogs in front have already stepped on it once, and the boys have stepped on it again.

Li Xuewu followed behind Mr. Zhao and found a hard place to follow the team. At the same time, he also used the notebook he carried to write down the good people and dogs. As for the names of people and the owners of the dogs, he directly asked Mr. Zhao how many people there were.

"Yes, yes!"

"Quick! Charge!"

As soon as Li Xuewu wrote down a few names, shouts came from in front of him.

The one who shouted "Chong Chong" was shouting at the dog. The young man in front let go of the dog leash, and the three hounds rushed out.

Li Xuewu looked in the direction of the dog's running and saw a big gray rabbit jumping left and right to hide from the hound behind it.

"Hey, there really is a rabbit here."

Li Xuewu said with a smile.

Mr. Zhao also took a closer look in the distance and replied: "There are plenty of them. Only these things can be born. There are several in one litter, several litters in a year."

Li Xuewu said to the thoughtful Yin Mancang: "This is a good thing. This mountain is the treasure house of your village. You must protect it and use it properly."

Mr. Zhao leaned on the tree trunk and looked around, and casually replied: "Hey, what can we protect? It has been this way for many years. Outsiders can't come in, we can't get out, and whatever treasures we have, we have to keep them in our nests." Here, it’s just the ores and wood, hey, what’s the benefit to us?”

Li Xuewu kicked the soft soil under his feet and said, "I don't think so. This soil is good for growing mushrooms. If you cultivate it, it will only be useful."

Mr. Zhao did not refute Li Xuewu's words. He regarded Li Xuewu as a child who didn't know what was going on in the mountains, like "Why not eat minced meat?"

But Yin Manshan was thinking about it. He was not very old, and he had seen the world when he was young. He kept confirming and thinking about some of the things Li Xuewu said in his heart.

While Li Xuewu and the others were talking, the result had already been achieved.

This rabbit is used to running in the mountains. It has grown so big and has been chased by countless wild beasts. It is also familiar with the surrounding situation. With a sideways movement, it caused two rushing hounds to collide with each other, like a gourd rolling on the ground. He screamed, maybe it was really hit hard, otherwise he wouldn't have screamed so loudly.

The young man running behind him stamped his feet and cursed.

Only the young man's dog stayed behind. Seeing the big gray rabbit playing with the two companions, he pounced forward, caught the big gray rabbit in his arms as it was about to enter the hole, and struck the rabbit's head with a knife.

"Huzi, come back"

The young man shouted to his dog, and the dog stumbled back with the big gray rabbit still kicking in its mouth.

The rabbit was really too big and heavy. It was difficult for the dog to hold the rabbit in its mouth, and it was difficult to lift its head. However, in order to show off its prey to its owner, it still held its head high, so it was kicked continuously. The rabbit was shaking and stumbling.

"Be good, be good." The young man comforted his dog gently. Judging from the young man's attitude towards the dog, he seemed to be a warm-hearted person.? ? ?

I saw the young man soothing the dog's head, taking the gray rabbit from the dog's mouth, holding the ear with his right hand, holding the rabbit in his arms, twisting his body, and breaking the big gray rabbit that was playing with the two dogs just now to prevent the tiger's cubs. neck.

Looking at the rabbit carrying the lifeless rabbit, several dogs were whimpering.

Li Xuewu shook his head, smiled, and asked Zhao Yajun, "What's his name?"

"Tiger"

When Zhao Yajun saw his friends hunting, he wanted to join in. Such an opportunity was rare, but Li Xuewu didn't let him go. He was looking at the young man and the dog in admiration with envy. When Li Xuewu asked, he just said it. Speak up.

"What's that person's name?" Li Xuewu emphasized speechlessly.

"Oh, his name is Gao Fengkun"

Zhao Yajun saw his second brother glare at him and smiled awkwardly. He also saw his grandfather turning his head away from him, and he couldn't help but squeeze the dog leash in his hand.

Li Xuewu wrote down Gao Fengkun's name in his notebook, and then wrote the word "dog" after the name. After thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he crossed out the word "dog" and wrote the word "dog" behind it.

The young man named Gao Fengkun smiled calmly at the compliments from his companions, patted his dog's head, and looked towards Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu just finished memorizing his name and stopped looking at him. Instead, he looked towards the forest. Because another hound caught the prey, there was a cry of surprise.

Seeing that Li Xuewu was not looking at him, Gao Fengkun felt a little depressed, but after adjusting, he headed forward with his companions and hounds.

Li Xuewu saw the three hounds over there working together to surround a little fox. The fox was dodging left and right in the encirclement of the three hounds, but it could not break out of the hounds' circle.

Seeing that the young people over there had gathered around, Li Xuewu and others also followed.

"Woof woof!"

The three hounds surrounded the little fox and kept roaring. Every time the little fox tried to rush out, the hounds on the other side would slap him back.

Li Xuewu looked at the people around him, asked Zhao Yajun about the owners of the three dogs, and wrote them down in his notebook.

"Okay, let's call the dog back." Seeing that the young men were already holding bayonets and about to attack the fox, Li Xuewu interrupted.

The young men holding knives looked at Li Xuewu in confusion, wondering what Li Xuewu meant by that.

Li Xuewu said to Mr. Zhao and Yin Manshan: "This thing can't produce meat, and the meat is not delicious. The skin is worth some money. We are not here for the skin. Forget it."

The old lady of the Li family had served Baojiaxian before, and among the three immortals there was a fox. Li Xuewu really didn't want to violate this taboo just for a piece of skin.

It's not that Li Xuewu is a warrior with shaky beliefs, but from a practical point of view, there is really no need to have any possible "taboos" on a piece of skin.

Yin Mancang waved to several people, signaling to call the dog back.

A young man carrying a bayonet couldn't help but said: "Uncle, we"

Before the young man could finish speaking, Yin Mancang choked back the rest of his words with a glare.

Seeing that the young man was stopped by Yin Mancang, and the other people looked at him with some reluctance, Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "How dare you use a knife to touch that fox?"

"Chief Li, look at me." After the young man who spoke before was about to rush up with a knife, several other young people were also eager to try, not wanting to fall behind.

"Okay, come here and tell me your name," Li Xuewu stopped him.

When Li Xuewu asked him to report his name, these people were still a little reluctant and wanted to get the fox.

The squad leader was a man. He kicked the young man on the butt and scolded: "Silly thing, you can do whatever I ask you to do. Hurry up and give your name. Don't you want to go to the city?"

These people reacted upon hearing this, ran over excitedly, and gave Li Xuewu their names one by one.

Li Xuewu looked at the squad leader with a smile, and the squad leader smiled honestly back at Li Xuewu.

"I wrote down your names because you performed well, so I can continue to observe. I will have to see your performance later," Li Xuewu said to several young people.

These people looked at each other, turned around and called the dogs back. They saw that all of them were good at handling dogs. The three dogs were also obedient, whimpering, looked at the little fox, and ran back with their heads and tails wagging.

When the little fox saw the dog running away, he tried to stretch out his front legs in disbelief. When he saw that the dogs didn't come back, he ran into the forest with a few clicks.

Li Xuewu signaled to a few people to continue walking into the forest, turned around and looked in the direction where the fox was running away, and could still see a patch of fiery red looking back at him.

"Chong!"

These young men seemed to have been given a shot of blood as they chased the other teams into the woods.

Li Xuewu and others followed behind and continued to observe.

Along the way, hounds kept discovering prey, such as pheasants, squirrels, and rabbits. Some of them were chased away, and the boys all went up to give them a blast.

Some of them failed to catch up, and the young men either comforted or scolded the hounds.

When other teams or people catch prey, and look at the section chief in leather clothes behind them, these young men are a little anxious.

Li Xuewu asked and took notes from behind. At this time, he had already asked the names of twenty people and the owners of the dogs.

Yin Mancang couldn't figure out how many people and dogs Li Xuewu wanted, but they definitely didn't want them, because the steel rolling mill couldn't recruit people on such a large scale.

Li Xuewu ignored Yin Mancang's questioning eyes and observed the team in front with his gun on his back.

"We're almost at the Bubbles ahead," Mr. Zhao, who was leading the way, pointed at the bright light ahead and said.

The trees in the forest are relatively dense, so the sky looks a little dark, but suddenly there is a light in front of us, which must be a water source without trees.

"The water bubbles there are living water, which never freezes all year round. The water flows from the mountain stream, and with its temperature, the wild animals in this area will go there to drink water. We used to set traps and traps here."

Listening to Mr. Zhao's introduction, Li Xuewu nodded and walked a few steps to catch up with the people in front.

"Chong!"

"Surround us!"

Hearing shouts from ahead, Li Xuewu knew that he must have found his prey near the water source.

"Let's go, let's run a few steps, follow me carefully, don't sprain your feet."

Mr. Zhao gave an instruction and started running forward.

Li Xuewu also had mountain training, so he could still keep up with a few people, and became familiar with the surrounding terrain while running.

In fact, the terrain got higher and higher as we ran forward. When we broke out of the forest, the terrain dropped sharply. We could already see a small stream flowing through the forest in front of us.

A group of green sheep and roe deer were running in panic on the edge of the stream, and there were wild boars a little further away, but only a gray shadow could be seen and disappeared into the bushes.

All the twenty-odd hounds over there were let go, and the young men behind them kept shouting, making the dogs rush forward to hunt.

This was obviously the final test. The young men let go of their dogs and rushed forward. Some were carrying bayonets, and some were carrying knives or forks made by themselves.

Li Xuewu felt his heart surge when he saw this scene.

Watching the young men and hounds hunting green sheep and silly roe deer.

Often several hounds work together to hunt a green sheep or roe deer. These hounds either bite the neck or the legs, and in extreme cases bite the balls on the back.

As long as it is bitten, it will not let go, and it will keep tearing and being knocked down.

The young men who rushed forward rushed forward with knives to suppress the prey, and stabbed the downed green sheep or roe deer in the heart or neck.

Of course, there are also people with wet hands. They were kicked or pushed forward by the prey. Li Xuewu didn't know if any of them were injured. Even if they were injured, no one answered when he asked.

First, the young men have enough adrenaline right now and they don’t know the pain yet.

Second, the sound at the scene was really noisy. Human voices, dog barks, and the screams of prey came and went one after another. The shouts from one side were inaudible from the other side.

Seeing the intense scene, Li Xuewu handed the notebook to Zhao Yajun, asking him to write down the person or dog he wanted, and then picked up the gun, fearing that something would happen in such a chaotic scene.

The wild boar that Li Xuewu was guarding ran away long ago when he saw so many dogs and people. This pig was not a silly roe deer that came back to see who it was. Instead, it ran into the bushes and disappeared in a swarm.

Here many green sheep and silly roe deer were kicked and kicked away, and the eight or nine that were killed by the young people were the first ones bitten by the hounds.

The prey are all very alert, just like the wild boar just now, which is said to be one pig, two bears and three tigers, but if any of these three animals is placed in front of these forty people and dozens of dogs, they will have to run as far as they can. Far.

Seeing that the young men had stood up, Li Xuewu asked over there: "Is anyone injured?"

It was very exciting to watch the scene, because I saw red, but the time was very short. Hunting is not a show for others like in the Colosseum. It takes more than ten minutes to kill the beast.

Hunting is a life-and-death struggle, and life and death can happen in just ten seconds, so now that the situation was slowly under control, Li Xuewu asked.

When Yin Mancang saw Li Xuewu asking, he also asked: "Whoever is injured, please say something quickly."

"No"

"No"

"My arm hit the roe deer's hind hoof."

"He's bleeding from his head."

Some young people looked at each other's companions, and some were stubborn and deliberately concealed it for fear of being eliminated, but their companions revealed it.

"No no"

"It's not there yet, let me take a look." A team leader walked over and took off the hat of the young man whose head was bleeding and took a look.

"It's okay, it's just a scratch. Cover it with a hat so it doesn't freeze."

The captain just looked at it and put his hat on, not caring about this minor injury at all.

The young man was also tough. He wiped the blood from his face and smiled at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu's face twitched, it was too ugly, and it would be even uglier if it was smeared with blood, but ugliness has its advantages. He took a pen and asked for the person's name and wrote it down in his notebook.

The team captains who followed were all identifying the children in their teams, and they would reply to Yin Mancang after they were identified.

"The roe deer kicked me on my thigh."

A young man said embarrassedly.

Yin Mancang hurriedly walked to the young man and asked, "Did you kick Kaba in the crotch?"

The young man blushed and said, "No, dad, the kick hit my outer leg. I was hiding."

Yin Mancang slapped the young man on the back of the head and reprimanded him: "You're a piece of trash." After saying that, he looked at Li Xuewu standing on the slope in embarrassment.

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and looked aside. He had to save some face for the chief executive.

Several team captains gathered their people, washed the blood on their hands and knives by the stream, and each found wooden poles to tie up the prey and carry it over.

Li Xuewu shouted to Yin Mancang: "Secretary Yin, let's go back."

Some young people looked reluctantly at Lin Zi and then at Yin Mancang and Li Xuewu.

Several squad leaders also wanted to say something.

Yin Mancang looked at Li Xuewu embarrassedly and asked, "Is that enough? Don't you want to look at it anymore?"

Li Xuewu smiled and put the gun behind his back and said: "That's enough. You can't clear out all the wild beasts in the mountain to see the height. Just look at it this time. Let's go back."

Seeing what Li Xuewu said, Yin Mancang no longer hesitated, waved his hands and shouted: "I'm leaving, I'm back, follow me."

Yin Mancang walked at the end. After counting the number of people, he saw that everyone had gone up the slope and entered the forest again before climbing up.

It was much easier when I went back. I didn't need to be nervous about the sudden danger. After the shouts from everyone just now, even the Jin Jian layer had to avoid these people.

Li Xuewu and Zhao Yajun finally determined the names of the people and dogs they wanted. Combining their personal performance and teamwork performance, and looking at the ability to use dogs, they finally decided on 15 people and 9 dogs.

Yin Mancang pulled Li Xuewu from behind, indicating that he had something to say.

Li Xuewu knew this, but he still slowed down his steps and followed Yin Mancang at the back of the team.

Seeing that he was far away from the crowd and could not be heard, Yin Mancang opened his mouth.

"Xuewu, you see your cousin Yin Qun is 18 this year. Xuewu has also finished elementary school. It's not a problem at home. Do you think it can be done?"

Li Xuewu's notebook does not contain Yin Qun's name, but he is prepared to ask for Yin Qun.

"Uncle, Yin Qun is a bit shy. Is there a quota for soldiers in the village? Why don't you want him to become a soldier?"

Although the quota of soldiers is very tight now, and there may not be one in every village, this quota should not be a problem for Yin Mancang.

Yin Mancang said with some emotion: "Your aunt is not in good health, and this is the only child between us."

Li Xuewu nodded in understanding and said, "I understand, uncle, let Yin Qun go to my place."

"Then take more care of him. Uncle, thank you." Yin Mancang smiled and patted Li Xuewu on the back.

Li Xuewu looked at Yin Mancang and said: "Uncle, if there is a loss, there is a gain, and if there is a gain, there is a loss. Yin Qun is not suitable for front-line work. Now the guard team has a place to raise dogs. Do you mind if Yin Qun is responsible for the dogs? ?”

"It's good to raise a dog, but it's better not to go to the front line." Yin Mancang nodded with satisfaction.

He had already planned to send the child to the steel rolling mill first. Although he was a temporary worker, and Li Xuewu also said that only outstanding members of the escort team could enter the security unit. It was not necessarily possible for his own son to feed the dog. But as long as I get in touch with the factory, there will be many opportunities to arrange for my son in the future.

The two stopped talking about this topic, but talked about something else, and followed the team back while laughing and talking.

Because there was no need to be vigilant anymore, although they were carrying silly roe deer and green sheep, they were not very heavy, weighing only a few dozen kilograms at most, so it was not difficult for two people to carry them.

When everyone returned to the road, a sharp-eyed young man pointed to a mountain peak and said: "Look, that big cat, damn, that's it. It still has that little wild boar in its mouth!"

Li Xuewu looked over there and then withdrew his gaze. What's the use of looking more at something he's already lost.

Ignoring the frost-beaten eggplants, I lay down in the car and looked at a few wild boars. They were still breathing and were "chirping" in the back car.

When leaving, Mr. Zhao used rags to bandage the wild boars to stop bleeding.

It's just that the bandaging technique was a bit scary, as it was directly set on fire with gunpowder.

I probably learned this from extreme battlefield medical care, right?

While Li Xuewu was checking the wild boar, several people carrying the prey worked together to throw the prey into the cart.

Li Xuewu called for assembly, and checked the number of people and dogs with Yin Mancang. After confirming that they were correct, he began to speak.

"Comrades, thank you for your support. Our factory and our village still have more communication and exchange opportunities, so don't be discouraged if your names are not read next. There will be opportunities in the future. For those whose names I have read now, go back Please clean up your house from now on. Secretary Yin will handle the procedures for you. You are coming with me today."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuewu opened the notebook and began to read the names.

"Gao Fengkun"

"arrive!"

Li Xuewu looked at Gao Fengkun and did not say that he did not need to answer, but continued to read. The young man whose name was read behind him also excitedly imitated Gao Fengkun and answered.

Everyone watched nervously as Li Xuewu read out his names one by one. Those whose names were read looked excited and accepted congratulations from people around him, while those who did not read his names looked lonely.

After reading 15 names, he ignored the young men and squad leaders who were hesitant to speak and shouted: "Get in the car!"

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't want to say more, these people all got on the car one by one. Because there were a lot of prey in the car, everyone had to squeeze in before they stood down. There was no place to sit.

Everyone walked back along the way they came.

The car contained eight silly roe deer, three large and small wild boars, five green sheep, as well as scattered pheasants, rabbits, and small things like squirrels that were fed to the dogs.

Yin Mancang was very satisfied with today's harvest. Whether it was the prey or the quota for entering the factory, several team captains and some young people with no achievements could not seem to smile.

The truck swayed into the village and was watched by the villagers waiting in the village.

"We hit them, they were silly roe deer and wild boar! There were also green sheep, I haven't seen them in many years."

"It's true!"

"How's it going, Third Brother? Have you chosen it?"

"Eldest nephew, have you taken a liking to my dog ​​rolling mill?"

The young people who got off the bus told their relatives about the results, while the selected young people went home with their families to pack their clothes.

Li Xuewu did not attend to the people who gathered around him, but was pulled aside by Yin Mancang.

"Xue Wu, you can take all those things away from the car, it's just right."

Li Xuewu intercepted Yin Mangcang's words and said, "Uncle, this is the first time we have met. You only give me this much. What will you give me in the future?"

Li Xuewu's words stopped Yin Mancang in his tracks. He punched his hand with his fist in a daze and said, "Oh, really, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said: "Bring the wild boar, one big and one small, three roe deer, three green sheep, how many pheasants, hares, etc. you can give to them, and divide the rest among the villagers. Let's go out." There’s nothing I can do without eating some meat all morning.”

Li Xuewu saw that some of the young people who were not chosen were covered in blood, and some had their clothes scratched. He couldn't justify not giving him some benefits.

Yin Mancang nodded and asked people to unload a pig, two green sheep, and five silly roe deer.

As soon as they heard that the meat was going to be divided, the onlookers happily extended their hands to help, and even the dogs let go of their leashes.

The large wild boar weighs more than 400 kilograms, and the two small ones weigh more than 200 kilograms.

Qingyang doesn't have this weight. The big one only weighs more than 60 kilograms, and the small one only weighs more than 40 kilograms.

The Silly Roe Deer is heavier, but not as big as the one Li Xuewu brought back from the Northeast, weighing just over 50 kilograms.

Li Xuewu looked at the unloading and said with a smile: "Let's gather together and pick out the dogs."

Seeing Li Xuewu talking about business, the villagers quieted down and waited for news about Li Xuewu.

Seeing Feng Juan coming out with a small bag on her back, Li Xuewu nodded and started reading the name of the dog owner.

The selected ones were happy but reluctant to hand over the dog leash to Zhao Yajun, and then went to Feng Juan to get a unity sheet, sign it and have their fingerprints printed.

Those who were chosen were reluctant to leave, and those who were not chosen were full of envy.

That's a big sign of unity. I haven't heard of anyone's dog selling for ten yuan in eight villages. This is a good thing that you can't find even with a lantern.

After Zhao Yajun led the selected dog into the car, Li Xuewu followed Mr. Zhao into the house and drank a bowl of hot water, while Yin Mancang went to Murakami to complete the procedures.

Although the personnel have been appointed, there are still people watching in the courtyard.

There was a lot of noise in the yard, breaking down pork and roe deer meat on the fire ground, and the green mutton meat had already been decided to be distributed to the young people who had not been selected and several team captains.

After drinking a bowl of tea and chatting for a while, Mr. Zhao said to Li Xuewu: "We will load some hay into your car later. The roots are for your grandma."

Li Xuewu knew that this was Zhao Gen's hay for Li Xuewu's horse, and wanted to use this car to pull it back.

Li Xuewu glanced at the driver and said, "Master, this is a business trip. The hay is our own work. I will drive the truck to pull it after the year."

Li Xuewu had just finished speaking. Before Mr. Zhao could speak, the driver said in a low voice: "Chief Li, what are you talking about? You are also considerate of those young people. There is nowhere to sit on this road." Road, I see there is hay for the young men to sit on, the hay is very soft.”

Li Xuewu handed the driver a cigarette and said, "Then just listen to Brother Liu. It's just a big thank you for your trouble and help me make a trip."

The driver waved his hand, took the cigarette without saying a word, and went back to sit on the kang.

Feng Juan looked at Li Xuewu with a smile, thinking that this man was really all-around well-rounded, and none of his words would fall into other people's mouths.

He is a good candidate for a partner, but he is a bit unable to hold on. He talked a lot along the way, but he didn't get to the point. And with the driver beside him, he couldn't say it clearly.

Seeing that Li Xuewu had settled the matter of hay, Yin Mancang also entered the courtyard with the formalities and the young men who had settled.

Hearing that Mr. Zhao who had followed Li Xuewu out said something about hay, Yin Mancang waved to the fifteen young men who had gathered first and said, "If you want to sit in the city, go and move the hay."

Seeing that this was the job of their future leaders, a dozen young men put down their burdens and threw bales of hay into the truck bed. Two people stood in the car and piled hay into the truck bed.

There was only half a cart of hay in total, and it was piled higher in the front, leaving room for people and dogs to sit in the back, and room for the two pigs to breathe.

After the rough coding was completed, Li Xuewu greeted the young men to get on the bus, while Yin Mancang wanted to stay with a few people for a meal.

Li Xuewu declined: "Uncle, I didn't say that I can't eat with you on official business. It's because it's best to discuss and handle this matter quickly. You also want to settle it today."

Yin Mancang thought for a while and explained to the team captains, then buttoned his clothes tightly and got into the back pocket of the car.

Yin Mancang had just gone home and changed into a Chinese tunic suit. Now he was afraid that the hay would stain his clothes and sat down on the side.

Li Xuewu wanted to let Yin Mancang sit in the front and sit in the back. Yin Mancang refused to sit in the front with a big girl, so why not let the women in the village be so picky?

Let’s not talk about those wives’ tongues that are as good as cotton waistbands, let’s just say that his aunt at home knew about it and didn’t beat herself up when she got home, so she couldn’t get into trouble. She didn’t see that girl staring straight at Li Xuewu when he let him go.

"Hurry up, you sit in front, let's leave quickly."

Seeing that Yin Mancang was unwilling to go to the front, Li Xuewu could only let Feng Juan get in the car first, and then he got into the passenger seat.

The truck chugs out, and the villagers follow suit, especially the relatives of the fifteen selected people, who are sent to the entrance of the village.

Once on the main road, the driver increased the speed of the car, and the villagers stopped following.

In the cockpit, Li Xuewu unloaded the Type 56 bullets, stuck the five bullets in his pocket on the bridge clip, stuffed them into the bullet sling, and tied them together with the rifle to the horizontal frame above the front windshield. Bring it.

After wandering all the way, Li Xuewu faced Feng Juan, who was very talkative, and drove the car into the Xikuoyuan of the alley while the driver suppressed a smile.

"Is this your home?"

Facing Feng Juan's question, Li Xuewu smiled without saying anything. He jumped out of the car and said to the grandma who came out: "Grandma, my master brought you the hay from the Zhao family. I will take it with me when I go to Hongxing Commune." Come back”

My eldest grandma thought something was wrong when she saw a truck coming in. When she saw her grandson getting out of the car, she came over to greet him.

"Okay, I'll help you unload the car."

Yin Mancang jumped out of the trunk and said hello: "Uncle, there is no need for you. I have a dozen young men with me."

After saying that, he waved to the carriage, and a dozen young men jumped out of the carriage. Two of them carried straw bags out of the carriage, and the rest followed the grandma to the material shed in the front yard carrying straw bags.

So many young men suddenly came to the courtyard to help the Li family deliver fodder, and a group of women in the courtyard were talking about it.

Li Xuewu followed him into the front yard, ignoring the onlookers, and went into the house to look at the child and said a few words to his mother. He never thought that Yin Mancang asked a young man to carry a green sheep into the house.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Yin Mancang pushed away Li Xuewu's blocking hand and said, "Don't quarrel with me. It's not for you. It's for my in-laws. It has nothing to do with you."

It turned out that when unloading those green sheep, Yin Mancang deliberately left one less, which was reserved for the Li Xuewu family.

When Li Xuewu saw Liu Yin holding the child behind him, he didn't dare to fight with Yin Mancang. He had no choice but to let Gao Fengkun leave Qingyang on the floor of the house.

Seeing Yin Mancang saying hello to Mrs. Li and going out, Li Xuewu said to Liu Yin: "Mom, Qingyang will find someone to clean up when I come back. There is still something to do at the steel rolling mill, let's go first."

After saying that, he went out and led the boys back into the car and drove back to the steel rolling mill.

This trip to Li Xuewu's house would take more than half an hour at most.

After entering the steel rolling mill, Li Xuewu asked the driver to drive directly to the back door of the canteen and wait. He took Yin Mancang to the main building, took Yin Mancang to the reception room on the third floor, and asked him to wait for him.

Li Xuewu settled in Yin Mancang and came to Dong Wenxu's office.

"Xue Wu is back?"

"Teacher, the matter is done"

"Oh? How many people have been recruited?"

"17 people, 10 dogs, and some special gains"

On the way, Feng Juan gave a large piece of money to Li Xuewu, and the black piece became the property of the steel rolling mill.

The 17 people include Zhao Yajun and Yin Qun.

"What is the special harvest?" Dong Wenxue asked nonchalantly.

Li Xuewu sat across from Dong Wenxu's desk and mentioned his opinion on the situation in the mountains and the establishment of a training ground. He also mentioned that the secretary of the Red Star Commune sent pigs, green sheep, and roe deer to express his gratitude. People were already waiting in the reception room. The news said.

Dong Wenxu thought for a while and said to Li Xuewu: "This matter has nothing to do with our security department. It has to be discussed with the logistics director."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Teacher, this is what I think, so I want to tell you first."

Dong Wenxue thought for a while and said: "I understand what Red Star Commune means. In fact, it's okay. We don't need to contribute anything. We just need to allocate some recruitment quotas every year. This matter needs to be coordinated by the higher authorities. Let's go to the director. Let’s talk to the house, and then go to Deputy Factory Director Li, and he can settle the matter.”

The two of them walked out of the house and turned into Fu Bin's office. Dong Wenxue didn't knock on the door, but opened the half-open office door and went in.

This is a kind of default signal in the office. If the office door is closed, no matter who comes, they will knock on the door and wait for an answer before entering.

This is considered to be because the leader is inconvenient or is discussing something inside and needs to close the door. Ordinary visitors will not knock on the door unless there is something urgent.

This situation also occurs during lunch breaks.

If the office door is ajar, it means the leader did it deliberately. When people of the same level or superiors come, they will push the door directly and enter. When subordinates come, they will know that the leader is inside and will knock on the door. At this time, the leader will let in.

And if the door is wide open, there are two situations. The first is that the leader is not here and the office door will be open, which means that he is temporarily out. If the subordinates have something to do, they can wait outside the door or go back first and come back later.

Visitors of the same level can enter the office and sit on the sofa to wait, and their superiors will usually ask nearby office staff to notify them on their behalf.

Another situation means that the leader has just gone to work or is about to get off work. If the visitor has something to do, he can go in directly to talk to the leader. After the conversation, he will deal with it quickly and get off work. The door will not be closed during the conversation. This means that the leader is telling you to hurry up. Pick up the important ones.

The door is open after the leader gets off work, which means that the leader is selfless and has nothing that cannot be seen by others. Even if the door is closed, it will not be locked because there are security personnel there, so nothing will be lost, and important materials are usually on the machine. The VIP room or secretary's office, these two places are locked.

The doorway here is roughly the same.
