The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Zhao Jun was eating inside, and Wang Meilan was packing his things outside.

Hearing that her son was going to do something big, Wang Meilan organized Jin Xiaomei and Zhao Chun to pull out the large basin usually used for washing quilts from the warehouse.

This kind of large basin is 1.56 meters long, with two round ends, one big and one small.

In addition to this basin, there are two large round basins with a diameter of one meter, which are tied with ropes by Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei.

This kind of round basin has a hand-grabbing ear on both sides of the mouth of the basin, which just catches the rope.

After the two round basins are tied, a rope is connected, and the middle rope section is placed on the back of the little donkey. The little donkey continued to carry forward its fine style of hard work and hard work. Even if Wang Meilan hung a noose around its neck and tied the long iron basin behind it, the little donkey did not dare to say a word.

"Son!" Seeing Zhao Jun come out, Wang Meilan waved to Zhao Jun with a smile and said, "Come here!"

"Ouch!" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "My mother did a pretty good job."

"That's it." Wang Meilan held Zhao Jun with one hand and pointed to the big basin behind the little donkey with the other, saying, "Son, sit here and let it pull you."

"Hahaha..." Wang Meilan's words made Zhao Jun, Zhao Chun, and Jin Xiaomei all amused. The little donkey's ears turned back and they looked sideways at Wang Meilan.

"I won't sit down, Mom." Zhao Jun said that he would not sit down, but threw the two feedlots into the big basin, and then said to Wang Meilan: "I will go to Brother Zhang's house later to get the net, and throw it here and let it be pulled. "

While the two women were talking, the yellow dragon in the yard suddenly barked several times. Zhao Jun subconsciously turned his head to look at the door of the yard, and saw the black tiger running into the yard, wheezing.

After the black tiger, there are two black and white dragons. After that, there are Qinglong, Black Dragon, and Xiaohua.

The green tiger ran slowly and had not come back yet, but the dogs that appeared in front of Zhao Jun were covered in blood and their bellies were still round.

Seeing this situation, Wang Meilan said without Zhao Jun saying anything: "Ah, this is your dad hanging something on the mountain."

Zhao Jun patiently checked the body of each dog, and saw that none of them were injured. Zhao Jun felt relieved, but he muttered: "What did you do to make this happen?"

Among the several dogs, the dirtiest one was the black dragon that had gotten into the wild boar's belly. This little bitch was covered in blood, and the dog's hair became sticky when exposed to the hot pig's blood, and it froze once again.

"It's not good." Wang Meilan also saw the hunting dog's embarrassment and frowned: "Your dad, you have been messing around all day, why did you let the dog run back on its own?"

"Mom! You still ask this." Zhao Chun came to Wang Meilan's side and whispered to Wang Meilan: "My dad must be selling pork."

Wang Meilan twitched the corner of her mouth and said nothing.

"Okay, Mom." Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan, "My dad and the others will be back soon. You ask my second brother to drive to us."

"Hey!" Wang Meilan responded and said, "Son, go to your brother Zhang's house and ask your sister-in-law to bring the bell."

As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, the dog in the courtyard barked twice. It turned out that Xu Chunyan was leading the child.

"Second aunt!" Xu Chunyan said to Wang Meilan as soon as she entered the yard, "My uncle and I are back."

"Huh?" Wang Meilan was startled when she heard this. Her brother Wang Qiang accompanied his wife to her parents' home for several days, but this time it was not because the couple was fighting, but because Zhao Ling's father was sick.

Now that the couple is back with their children, the old man must be fine, but as a real relative, Wang Meilan has to go and say hello.

So, Wang Meilan turned to Jin Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, you, Yan'er, and Chun'er are all crowded by the fish. Let's catch fish sauce tonight."

After Jin Xiaomei agreed, Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun walked out. Looking at the little donkey carrying two pots and dragging one pot, Wang Meilan nodded slightly and expressed her appreciation.

As if feeling Wang Meilan's approving gaze, the little donkey said "Uh-huh" and moved its hooves much faster.

The two mothers separated halfway, Wang Meilan went to Wang Qiang's house, and Zhao Jun went to Ma's house first.

When they arrived at the door of Ma's house, Zhao Jun slapped the little donkey on the crotch. The little donkey raised its neck and barked "uh-ah" and "uh-ah" twice, and Ma Dafu and Ma Yang came out of the house.

The two men also put on furry boots. Ma Yang held two feeders, and Ma Dafu held a fishing rod in one hand and a fishing net in the other.

After joining the Ma family father and son, the three of them went to the Han family together and called the two brothers Han Dachun and Han Daming.

The five people went to Zhang Yuanmin's house and took away the floor cage and sticky net from Zhang Yuanmin's warehouse.

The Zhang family's net is made of nylon thread. According to Yang Yufeng, this net was woven by her father-in-law, Zhang Datou, the former Yong'an No. 1 wonder man.

But before the net was finished, Zhang Datou died of illness. From then on, the net became an heirloom of the old Zhang family.

"Brother!" Yang Yufeng said to Zhao Jun: "I don't know much about this thing. Anyway, I heard your elder brother say that this is a three-layer net. With this workmanship, it can catch a big fish of more than ten kilograms." Stick it on.”

Normally, the size of fish the net can stick to depends on the size of the mesh. A one-finger mesh can usually only catch small fish such as wheat ears. If you want to catch big fish, you have to use a net with a large mesh.

But as Zhao Jun often said, hunting can help you learn about mountain topography, climate changes and the habits of wild animals.

The same goes for fishing.

The temperature in the Northeast is low in winter, and fish do not like to move or eat, so they have little strength to struggle. Under normal circumstances, a four-finger net can catch fish weighing seven to eight kilograms, but in the winter in the Northeast, a three-finger, three-layer net like Zhang's can catch a fish weighing ten kilograms.

"You have a lot of stuff at home?" Ma Dafu walked around the Zhang family's warehouse and said, "You have everything."

Yang Yufeng smiled when she heard this, pointed to the corner, and said: "There are both lifting and buckling nets, but my brother said there is no need for that."

The net is carried by two people with each side facing each other to catch small fish in shallow water. And netting involves using special techniques to lay a large net flat under the ice.

There is a certain amount of technology involved in lowering this kind of net. Twenty or thirty years later, the famous winter fishing in Chagan Lake would use buckle nets. The buckle net used by that family is countless times larger than the one used by the Zhang family.

Coming out of the Zhang family, Han Daming couldn't help but sigh that the old Zhang family had so many heirlooms.

Han Dachun then said that most of the nets in the Zhang family were purchased by people with big brains. The old boy was good at setting up and troubleshooting, and he was good at his job. There were few people in the whole village who could compare with him in weaving nets and so on.

"Huh? Brother." Han Daming seemed to remember something, frowned and asked Han Dachun, "When I was little, I didn't remember much. I just remembered that my mother had said that Zhang Yuanmin's father had gone to war. , is there any immortal in his family?"

When asked by Han Daming, Han Dachun was also stunned. Han Dachun is two years older than his brother. When his brother couldn't remember, he would run around the village like crazy.

"He has a fairy." It was Ma Dafu who answered. He laughed and said: "He is really fooling people."

"No, Brother Ma." Han Daming retorted: "I remember this clearly, they all said he was some kind of great immortal."

"Barefoot Immortal." As soon as Ma Dafu said this, Han Daming nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, do you mean he is Barefoot Immortal?"

Hearing Han Daming agree, Ma Dafu smiled, and then said: "He is a liar, what kind of immortal is he?"

"What's going on, Dad?" Ma Yang interrupted and asked, "Is he still lying?"

"That's not true." Ma Dafu said with a smile: "If he doesn't lie to others, he will lie to his wife."

What Ma Dafu said aroused everyone's curiosity. Then I heard Ma Dafu say: "He kept his head open all day long, just playing around at home, and making noises while playing, saying, 'Let's not fight on the ground, let's fight in the sky.' After that, he asked his wife to kill the chicken." , saying that if you are full, you can go back to heaven to fight with those gods."

Everyone was dumbfounded by Ma Dafu's words. Zhao Jun asked curiously: "Master, is it over?"

"Is it over?" Ma Dafu said with a smile: "When it's over, his wife will make an offering to him."

Zhao Jun: "..."

Everyone: "..."

"A sacrifice to a living person?" Han Dachun asked in surprise.

"That's not right." Ma Dafu couldn't hold back his joy and said with a smile: "Old Mrs. Han came out to offer those things, so that the old couple can eat them. This guy is good, his wife serves him chicken, and he Everything is made.”

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed and heard Ma Dafu continue: "After eating, he told his wife that he would go back to heaven to fight. After he finished eating, he lay down on the kang and went to sleep."

"Hahaha..." Everyone was laughing so hard that they were out of breath. Han Daming laughed and asked: "He only needs to hide his wife, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't hide others."

"That's not true!" Ma Dafu tilted his head and said: "At that time, twenty years ago, the armband-wearing gang wanted to deal with him. He was so scared that he ran away after searching the tent in the middle of the night. He ran away for more than ten years before coming back."

The group of people arrived at Dongdagou talking and laughing. At this time, Li Baoyu and the others had dug a thirty-meter-long ditch on the ice.

As Zhou Jianjun and Jie Chen scooped up the snow to dig out fish, the ice on both sides of the ditch was filled with frozen fish.

Every ten minutes or so, Zhou Jianjun and Jie Chen used shovels to pick up the frozen fish to prevent them from freezing on the ice.

The small fish were picked up with a shovel and piled into a pile, standing on the ice like a hill.

On the side, father and son Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai have picked up more than 70 female leopards.

There are male and female forest frogs. The male is called a male dog, and the female is also called a female leopard because of the spots on her belly.

At this time, the wood frog had not eaten for a long time. In addition to the internal organs, the female leopard also had oil and seeds in her belly.

The white oil and the black seeds are both great tonics, especially the wood frog oil, which is even more amazing.

Twenty or thirty years later, a pound of forest frog oil would cost three to four thousand yuan. These days, people don't really recognize this, but they can catch a female leopard and dry it whole, and sell it to a supply and marketing cooperative for 7.5 cents each.

The Zheng family and his son collect whatever they want to make money. They came over just now and told the three of them that they would pick the female leopard to collect.

Li Baoyu and Jie Chen, who recognized them, did not object and allowed them to pick up the female leopard from the triangular pocket.

Li Baoyu was very excited to see Zhao Jun coming. Zhou Jianjun came over to greet Ma Dafu and Han Dachun, and then a group of people began to dismantle the net and spread it on the ice.

This sticky net is in the shape of a rectangle, with the long side divided into floating sides and falling sides. The floating edges are all hollow rubber floats, which are called floats. The sides of the pendant are all lead bars, and these lead bars are called pendants.

Spread the net out over the ice, then hold a float against a sinker and pinch them together. In this way, put the net away little by little.

While everyone was sorting out the sticky nets, the Zheng family and his son met with Zhao Jun on the ice.

"Master Zheng." Zhao Jun shook hands with Zheng Xuekun with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Oops." Zheng Xuekun smiled bitterly and said, "Young man, your leopard skin is going to cause trouble for both of us."

"Really?" Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this and said, "I was quite happy when I saw you guys coming. What's wrong? I wore another leopard skin the day before yesterday. This one is better than the last one."

"Really?" Zheng Xuekun also asked the same thing. At this time, his eyes were bright and he was staring at Zhao Jun.

Before, he went to the Zhao family to collect mountain goods, but Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai teamed up to break through his psychological defense and bought the leopard skin from the Zhao family for a sky-high price of 8,800 yuan.

Because Wang Meilan was so cruel, Zheng Xuekun and his son left Zhao's house with no spare money except for their travel expenses home.

So the father and son boarded the train home the next day. When he got home, Zheng Xuekun was selling the leopard skin to the big boss he was familiar with while handling the mountain goods collected from the northeast.

The theory of waiting to get rich sounds reasonable, but people with average brains will not buy this.

After selling for more than a month, it was not sold, and the funds could not be withdrawn, so Zheng Xuekun could not go north again.

Until one day, Zheng Xuekun finally sold the leopard skin to a boss who was making trouble with hairtail fish in Qinhuangdao.

Perhaps it was a coincidence. After the hairtail fish seller bought the leopard skin, he made big sales for three days in a row.

After the business was concluded, it was necessary to drink, socialize and celebrate. The boss drank too much and told him about buying leopard skins.

As a result, the next day, the day before the Zheng family and his son were about to go north, a big boss found Zheng Xuekun and specified that he wanted to buy the kind of leather that "just waits to make a fortune".

Zheng Xuekun has been living in the mountainous and forested areas of Northeast China for two years. He knows that the Amur leopard is rare. Most people can't see it, let alone fight it.

Zheng Xuekun also didn't expect that Zhao Jun still had leopard skin in his hand.

So when he arrived in the mountainous area, Zheng Xuekun did not go directly to Yong'an. Instead, he walked all the way and asked around. To his dismay, no one had one.

Zheng Xuekun came to Yong'an today simply because he wanted to collect the Zhao family's bear bile.

At this time, Zheng Xuekun felt hot when he heard that Zhao Jun said that there was a leopard skin at home.

"Young man, please take me to your house to have a look." Zheng Xuekun said, "If it's suitable, I'll accept it."

"Okay!" Zhao Jun said, "Then which one of you will ride on my back?"

"You can sit in the back seat of me." Zheng Donghai volunteered. After Zhao Jun explained a few words to Li Baoyu and others, he returned home with the Zheng family and his son.

Entering Yong'an Village and walking home, Zhao Jun suddenly saw Wang Qiang. At this time, Wang Qiang was carrying a spade and a pickaxe, and he should be going to Dongdagou to help.

Anyway, his home was not far away, so Zhao Jun got out of the back seat and asked the Zheng family and his son to go first. He had a few words to say to Wang Qiang.

"Uncle!"

"Grand nephew." Wang Qiang said with a smile, "I was just thinking about looking for you. Why are you back?"

Zhao Jun smiled and pointed at the Zheng family's father and son who were riding away, and said to Wang Qiang: "These two men are here to collect mountain goods. I knocked on a local leopard the day before yesterday and was thinking of selling my leather to them."

"Oh!" When Wang Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but be happy for Zhao Jun and said with a smile: "My nephew is really good."

Having said this, Wang Qiang pointed in the direction of Zhao Jun's house and said, "Well, nephew, go quickly, I can find it myself."

"No, uncle, listen to what I'm telling you." Zhao Jun approached Wang Qiang and whispered: "My dad is going to ask you to borrow money these two days, so you can hold it for him first, and I will give it to you later. "

Although Zhao Jun couldn't figure out where Zhao Erdong's gun came from, in the morning he heard from Wang Meilan that Zhao Youcai was pulling money everywhere, so Zhao Jun knew that Zhao Youcai was Luo Guozi who came up the mountain.

"Ah..." Wang Qiang was startled when he heard this, then he realized what he was saying, patted Zhao Jun's arm lightly, and said: "That's okay, it's none of your business. If he wants money, I'll get it for him." .”

Although Wang Qiang and Zhao Youcai usually fight and fight, they have a deep relationship.

Hearing what Wang Qiang said, Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't care."

"Go home quickly." Wang Qiang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Sell that leather at a good price!"

"Hey!" Zhao Jun agreed, turned around and left. At this time, the Zheng family and his son were about to arrive at Zhao Jun's house.

Suddenly, Zheng Donghai let go of the handlebar with his right hand and raised it to the right. Then, Zheng Donghai pointed his hand forward and said to Zheng Xuekun: "Dad, look, is it the widow?"
