The whole mountain is my hunting ground

In the past month or so, Zhao Youcai and Li Ruhai have been helping each other.

Li Ruhai helped Zhao Youcai resolve the serious injuries caused by rumors, while Zhao Youcai provided Li Ruhai with a certain degree of military protection.

Just like the last time Li Dayong wanted to beat Li Ruhai, it was Zhao Youcai who arranged it for him.

Li Ruhai was so grateful that he made all kinds of promises. Most people will just think this kid is talking nonsense when they hear the words "It's like a dog and a horse."

But is Leader Zhao an ordinary person?

Even if what you tell is a lie, as long as you tell it to me, you have to admit it.

Isn't it unreasonable for you to tell Zhao Jun about such a good thing but not to me?

At this time, Li Ruhai didn't know that he had offended someone again. He followed Li Dayong and asked with a smile: "Dad, you have been working all day, are you tired?"

"This kid is in trouble!" Zhao Youcai suddenly had a guess in his mind when he saw this scene. As for how I guessed it, it probably comes from experience.

"Huh?" Li Dayong was stunned by Li Ruhai's question. After recovering from the surprise of Zhao Jun shooting three lynxes, he felt something was wrong.

Just when Li Dayong was at a loss, he only heard Zhao Youcai cough lightly.

Li Dayong hurriedly looked at Zhao Youcai. When he saw Zhao Youcai touching his neck with his free hand, Li Dayong reacted instantly.

"Not tired." Li Dayong smiled at Li Ruhai, making Li Ruhai laugh too.

"My old son knows that he feels sorry for his father." Li Dayong said, raising his arm and crossing Li Ruhai's back, and gently put his big hand on Li Ruhai's shoulder.

Li Ruhai chuckled, opened his arms and hugged Li Dayong's waist. The father and son hugged each other's neck and waist, it was so warm.

Seeing this strange scene, Li Baoyu was so shocked that he almost threw the soda box away.

Fathers these days don't know how to express their feelings. Li Dayong is usually gentle with Li Xiaoqiao at home, and he always yells at them. He, Li Baoyu, has never enjoyed this kind of father's love when he has grown up.

For a time, Li Baoyu felt mixed feelings in his heart, including jealousy and loss.

Zhao Jun, who was following behind, saw clearly. He shook his head slightly and secretly said that Li Ruhai would not be able to escape this beating. Jin Xiaomei didn't beat the boy today. Firstly, because the child was older and Jin Xiaomei couldn't beat him. Secondly, Jin Xiaomei wanted to wait for Li Dayong to come back and discuss how to calm Liu Tiezui's anger, and then beat him after they had discussed it.

If Li Ruhai was lucky enough to hide in Zhao's house and be protected by Zhao Youcai, he might still be able to escape disaster if he didn't return to his own house.

But now...

Soon, the group arrived home.

Li Baoyu and Jie Chen, who were moving boxes, walked quickly in front of them. Lin Xiangshun, who entered the Zhao family yard at the same time, trotted to the Zhao family door and opened the door for them.

Li Dayong, who was walking behind, saw the lights on in his house and turned around and asked Zhao Jun: "Nephew, what is your aunt doing at home?"

"The goose is stewed." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Today Jie Niang killed two more geese."

"Ah!" Li Dayong said, "Then I'll go back and see your aunt."

With that said, Li Dayong took Li Ruhai in his arms and walked home.

"Huh?" Although Li Ruhai didn't know yet, his father had already become suspicious of his strange behavior after being reminded by someone thoughtful. But Li Ruhai knew that if he went home with Li Dayong, Jin Xiaomei would definitely file a complaint, and a severe beating would be waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Li Ruhai dropped his hand around his father's waist, and after taking it back, he tried to push Li Dayong away.

But at this time, Li Dayong's hand holding Li Ruhai tightened, his big hand firmly clasped Li Ruhai's shoulder, and his strong arms instantly trapped Li Ruhai.

"See you in the picture!" Li Ruhai, who has read a lot, immediately sensed the crisis.

"Old son!" Li Dayong said in a stiff tone: "Come back with me to see how your mother's goose stew is doing. When it's ready, bring it over."

"Dad, there are two of you here, so you two can give it away." Li Ruhai struggled under Li Dayong and tried to escape into Zhao's house.

"Come over here!" Li Dayong stopped pretending to be kind. He held Li Ruhai in one hand and grabbed the collar of his cotton-padded jacket with the other. At this moment, Li Ru was lifted up and arrived at the door of Li's courtyard.

"Brother, help me!" Li Ruhai shouted something that felt wrong, so he quickly changed his words and shouted: "Brother, help me! Master! Master!"

As Li Ruhai was dragged into the Li family yard, Li Ruhai kicked his legs and shouted: "Uncle, you can't just die without saving me!"

Originally, when people came home, the dog in the yard kept barking. At this time, Li Ruhai was calling for help again, and the dog barked even more intensely.

The little flower's anxious screams changed, but even if it was not restrained by an iron chain, it would not help Li Ruhai bite Li Dayong when it rushed over. It was anxious because it just didn't want to watch the family fight.

"Xiaohua, save me!" In desperation, Li Ruhai shouted anything.

At this time, the door of Li's house was pushed open from inside, and Jin Xiaomei looked at Li Dayong with surprise.

"Hey!" In the Zhao's courtyard, the Zhao family's father and son stretched their necks to look toward the wall. When they saw the Li family's door closed, they all looked away and sighed heavily.

"Here you go!" Zhao Youcai handed the lunch box to Zhao Jun, then waved to him and said: "Here are the eggs, take them in!"

"Hey!" Zhao Jun took the lunch box and walked to the house, while Zhao Youcai went straight to Erhei.

After all the care, Zhao Youcai was ready to favor each one from the outside to the inside.

Next is the white dragon, then the green tiger.

But since Zhao Jun returned to the house and Zhao Youcai was the only one left in the yard, the green tiger couldn't get out of the kennel.

Zhao Youcai stood in front of the kennel and called for him for a long time, but Qinghuo said nothing.

Zhao Youcai had no choice but to extend his black hands to Qinglong and Black Dragon.

…

There is no peace in the Zhao family's courtyard, and there is no peace in the Li family's house.

About fifteen minutes later, the door of the Li family room next door opened, and Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei came out of the house each carrying a basin. Li Dayong's basin contained goose stewed with dried potatoes; Jin Xiaomei's basin contained steamed flower rolls.

The couple went to the wall and put the basin on the top of the wall. After climbing over the wall, Zhao Youcai happened to have stopped caring about the dogs in the yard.

He went to the house and opened the door, and Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei entered the house with food.

When Zhao Youcai finally came in, he saw Wang Meilan frying pickled cabbage powder in front of the big pot.

"Lan Na!" Zhao Youcai smiled at Wang Meilan and said, "You have been working for a day and you are tired... eh?"

The last word "ba" was not left out of his mouth. Zhao Youcai was suddenly startled, remembering that Li Ruhai had aroused suspicion because he was too diligent before, and he has not appeared again until now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai carefully observed Wang Meilan's expression.

"It's okay." Wang Meilan only focused on cooking without even raising her head.

Feeling that Wang Meilan had no suspicion, Zhao Youcai lowered his guard and immediately stretched out his hand to Wang Meilan and said: "You are tired. Come into the house and let me fry this."

"You don't have to." Wang Meilan still didn't raise her head. She moved the hand holding the shovel aside while turning over the vegetables and said, "Go inside and change your clothes."

"Hey!" Zhao Youcai responded with a smile and walked towards the back room.

Today, the Zhao family has to set up two tables for dinner, so the same dish is divided into two portions. At this time, Jin Xiaomei and Yang Yufeng were picking goose meat from two large plates, while Xu Chunyan was picking flower rolls from two small helmets.

So no one saw that when Zhao Youcai walked to the door of the west room, Wang Meilan, who was cooking, suddenly turned around and looked deeply at Zhao Youcai's back.

After frying the pickled cabbage powder, Wang Meilan fried peanuts.

In this way, today's dinner consists of goose stewed in an iron pot, goose stewed with potatoes, stir-fried vermicelli with pickled cabbage, steamed goose blood, fried peanuts and shredded radish mixed with rock sugar.

Six dishes, some cold, some hot, some meat and some vegetarian.

In the east room, the women poured beer in front of them, while the children drank from soda bottles. There was a lot of laughter and the movement was more lively than the men in the west room.

Li's West House.

Under the dim light, Li Ruhai sat on the edge of the kang, rubbing the crotch of his left leg with his left hand and the calf of his right leg with his right hand.

Li Ruhai lowered his head, his tears had stopped, but he sobbed loudly.

"Hmm... uh..." This chirping sound was not made by Li Ruhai, but by Hei Hu who was lying beside him.

But it was not comforting Li Ruhai, nor was it feeling sorry for Li Ruhai, but there were two plates on the wooden table under the kang against the wall. One plate contained flower rolls and the other contained goose meat.

According to Jin Xiaomei's wish, Li Ruhai would not be given food tonight, but Li Dayong refused, saying that would be too much. After all, even if he squatted on the fence, he would have to give him food.

At this time, Li Ruhai was not only in physical pain, but also in pain in his heart. Because Li Dayong said that from now on, as long as Li Ruhai rests, he will have to help with work at home. Except for Zhao and Li's family and the hut outside, he could not go anywhere else.

For Li Ruhai, isn't this the same as squatting on a fence?

Li Ruhai couldn't eat, and the people in the Zhao family next door ate so much that the trenches were full.

After eating, Mrs. Xie Sun was sitting on the bedside of the kang. She took the small broom used by the Zhao family to sweep the kang, took off a piece of sorghum millet from it, put it into her mouth, and while picking her teeth, she said to Zhao Chun who was holding the child: "We eat meat, so we can't pick it up. In two days, your child's father will come, and the aunt will catch three geese and kill them. Let's eat them again!"

Since Xie Sunshi and Wang Meilan were sisters, Xie Sunshi had to ask Zhao Chun to call her aunt.

"Auntie!" When Zhao Chun heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't kill me, auntie, our family has all kinds of meat, how can we not eat anything? There are only a few left of that young man you bought, you still have to keep two. I went home in time for the Chinese New Year and gave it to my sister-in-law to take back to your house."

"Your sister-in-law..." When Zhao Chun said this, Xie Sun suddenly thought of her daughter-in-law. After being out for so long, Mrs. Xie Sun really missed Liu Lanying, but she didn't want to go home yet, so she immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. After killing the young master, isn't there still the mother?"

Zhao Chun: "..."

…

After eating, the women helped Wang Meilan pack up the leftovers, tables, chairs, dishes, and chopsticks, and then they went home one after another.

When there were no outsiders in the room, Zhao Youcai, who was sitting on the kang and smoking, raised his leg and lightly kicked Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun looked at him, Zhao Youcai pointed to the wall and said, "I bought the mallet for you. It's in the pocket of my clothes. You go and get it."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled. Although he had heard Zhao Youcai say that before, he really didn't expect Zhao Youcai to work so efficiently.

Zhao Jun got up and got off the kang, went over and took out the paper butter packet from the pocket of Zhao Youcai's cotton-padded jacket.

Zhao Jun opened the butter paper package and pulled out the ginseng seedlings from the moss inside. He pinched the reed head and held the ginseng in front of his eyes.

After just one glance, Zhao Jun frowned.

There's still one chapter left at six o'clock in the afternoon
