The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Today is December 5th. The closer we get to the winter solstice, the shorter the days will be.

It was only around three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky in the mountains was getting dark.

The Jiefang car parked outside the gate of Yong'an Forest Farm. Lin Xiangshun honked the horn repeatedly for seven or eight minutes before attracting the patrolling security guard.

This security guard was none other than Zhou Dakui, the head of the old Zhou family whom Li Ruhai had protected the media the day before yesterday.

"Shunzi." Zhou Dakui greeted Lin Xiangshun first, and then saw Li Dayong getting out of the trunk and Zhao Youcai getting out of the passenger car.

They are all from the same village. They usually look up but don't see each other, and they are not polite to each other. Zhao Youcai said he wanted to go to the canteen, and Zhou Dakui opened the door for them without saying anything.

"Lock, I'll hang it here." Zhou Dakui took the stone cigarette given by Zhao Youcai and said to several people: "Before you leave, don't forget to lock the door."

"Don't worry." Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said, "You should be busy, go ahead and do your thing."

"Hey, Brother Zhou." Suddenly, Li Dayong stopped Zhou Dakui who was about to leave. He saw him trotting to Zhou Dakui's side and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, the child at home is ignorant, his mother and I will take care of him. It’s over. It’s over. Brother, I’ll make amends to you.”

"Okay, brother." Zhou Dakui raised his hand and patted Li Dayong on the shoulder, and said: "Ruhai also had good intentions. I didn't stay home that day. After that, I went home and listened to what your sister-in-law said. I think your Ruhai was right. Quite right."

Li Dayong: "..."

Children are not involved in this important matter of marriage. Fortunately, the Zhou family was persuaded by Li Ruhai, and everyone was happy about the marriage. Otherwise, if Zhou Dakui blames him, Li Dayong will have to bear the blame.

But the Yu and Zhou families had no objection, but Liu Tiezui quit. It was precisely because of this that Liu Tiezui was injured, and next week is the day for the Li family and the Liu family to celebrate. Liu Tiezui will not be able to appear at that time, and Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei have to find a way to find a matchmaker.

When he thought of Li Ruhai's actions that harmed himself and benefited others, the fire in Li Dayong's heart burst out.

Thinking that he would give Li Ruhai two more slaps when he got home, Li Dayong climbed into the trunk of the car and rode outside a canteen.

Yongan Forestry Farm has two departments, which are always staffed. One is for security and the other is for canteen.

The person on duty in the cafeteria today was Niu Junsheng, Zhao Youcai's second apprentice. When he saw Zhao Youcai coming in with a group of people, Niu Junsheng was stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhao Youcai taking the people to the cafeteria compartment, Niu Junsheng hurriedly went to pick up the kettle.

Zhao Youcai asked everyone to wait for him in the cubicle, while he went to the kitchen to get a cloth bag and rolled it back.

Seeing Zhao Youcai coming back, Niu Junsheng left with a kettle knowingly. Zhao Youcai sat down and asked the Zheng family and his son to drink water.

"Master Zhao." The water in the tea vat was steaming. Zheng Xuekun was holding the tea vat to warm his hands and asked Zhao Youcai, "Are you from the canteen?"

Previously, Zhao Youcai only told the Zheng family that he was a forest farm employee and did not say that he worked in the canteen.

"Ah, no." Zhao Youcai pointed to the back of his head and said, "The one who poured you water just now is a relative of mine."

"Ah..." Zheng Xuekun didn't think much about it, but Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun were used to it.

"Master Zheng, how are you two doing tonight?" Zhao Youcai asked.

"Master Zhao, we stopped the bus just because we wanted you to find out more about it." Zheng Xuekun said, "Well... do you still have a Yongfu Village here?"

"Yes." Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "Do you know anyone in that village?"

"Yes." Zheng Xuekun nodded again and replied: "There is a man named Xu Baoshan in that village. I wonder if you know Master Zhao?"

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun looked at each other, feeling anxious for Zhao Youcai.

Is it weird if you don’t know him?

Not to mention that they are all from the same unit, the key point is that Xu Baoshan is none other than Zhao Jun's immediate boss and the leader of the acceptance team!

"I know him." Zhao Youcai frowned slightly, looked at Zheng Xuekun and asked, "How come you still know him?"

"He has an uncle and a younger brother who work at the post office in your town." Zheng Xuekun explained to Zhao Youcai and the others, "In the past two years, I have been collecting mountain fungus, earthworm and other things, and distributing them from the post office to Guanli. It's through him. Anyway, usually, I give him a little bit of everything I mail, and by going back and forth, I've become familiar with him."

Before Zheng Xuekun could say anything, Zhao Youcai grabbed the conversation and asked, "Did he introduce you to Xu Baoshan's house?"

"Ah!" Zheng Xuekun said: "He said that was his uncle, and it would be easy to mention him to Xu Baoshan's house."

Zhao Youcai twitched his lips when he heard this, while Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun also looked at each other speechlessly.

The postman Zheng Xuekun mentioned was Xu Changlin's son. This boy was quite thoughtful. He took benefits from people outside and didn't want to cause trouble to his father and mother, so he arranged for him to be sent to Xu Baoshan's house.

However, Zhao Youcai and the others would not expose this kind of thing. Feeling that everyone was almost warm, Zhao Youcai took the cloth bag roll, unfolded it and took out the leopard skin.

"Ouch!" Zheng Xuekun stood up from his seat at the first glance of the leopard skin. He was afraid that there would be oil on the table in the cafeteria, so he and Zheng Donghai unfolded the leopard skin with their four hands.

At this time, the lights in the cubicle were dim, and Zhao Youcai used a flashlight to shine light for the Zheng family and his son.

After carefully examining and stroking it, Zheng Xuekun gently rolled up the leopard skin and handed it back to Zhao Youcai.

"Master Zhao." Zheng Xuekun said to Zhao Youcai, "The last time I came here, I received a leopard skin from the widow's house."

"Widow?" After listening to Zheng Xuekun's words, Lin Xiangshun suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Youcai.

Zheng Xuekun once mistakenly called Wang Meilan a widow in front of Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong, but Lin Xiangshun didn't know that. He was also curious, besides his second uncle's house, who else sold leopard skins?

Li Dayong secretly pulled Lin Xiangshun, and at this time Zhao Youcai smiled "haha" and said: "His thing is not as good as mine."

As he spoke, Zhao Youcai held the leather scroll with one hand, patted it with the other hand, and said, "This winter leather has a good leather board and a good fur."

"Master Zhao." Zheng Xuekun raised his hand to stop Zhao Youcai and said, "I am not taking this to make clothes. The leather at this time is good, but it is white and not as good as the autumn one."

This is not only the case for Amur leopards, but also for lynxes. When the snow falls in winter, they will molt their fur, and after that, their fur will turn white.

Zheng Xuekun collected leopard skins not for the fur, but to "just wait and get rich." Only yellow is called a leopard.

Hearing what Zheng Xuekun said, Zhao Youcai was stunned. He doesn't know how to do business, but he knows why Zheng Xuekun buys leopard skins, and he also knows Zheng Xuekun's concerns.

But the key point is that Zhao Youcai thinks what Zheng Xuekun said makes sense.

"What are you afraid of when it's white?" Li Dayong suddenly spoke and said to Zheng Xuekun: "You know what yellow and white things are not allowed to do?"

"Huh?" Zheng Xuekun was stunned by Li Dayong's question.

You must have read books, Li Dayong said: "According to our ancestors, yellow is gold, white is silver, and a pile of yellow and white is wealth."

"Brother." Zheng Xuekun smiled when he heard this and retorted: "Then silver is not as valuable as gold?"

As soon as Zheng Xuekun said this, Zhao Youcai and Lin Xiangshun looked at Li Dayong.

Li Dayong was not in a hurry, and said with a faint smile: "What do you think about this thing?"

With that said, Li Dayong took the leopard skin roll from Zhao Youcai's hand, looked at Zheng Xuekun and said: "Master Zheng, if you believe me, you can keep this skin. It's over, who did you sell that skin to last time?" , you still sold this to him."

"That doesn't seem to work." Zheng Xuekun shook his head with a smile and said, "One of these things is enough..."

"Master Zheng." Li Dayong interrupted Zheng Xuekun and said: "One yellow and one white, one gold and one silver, this is called a house full of gold and silver."

"A house full of gold and silver?" Zheng Xuekun, who had not been interested just now, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard these four words.

"Yes!" Li Dayong said with a smile: "It will be 1988 soon, and 8 means hair. Now that you are rich in gold and silver, the big boss can't earn five or six meals a year?"

After Li Dayong said these words, Zheng Xuekun's eyes changed again when he looked at him.

In fact, the last time Zheng Xuekun left Yong'an and returned to his hometown to sell leopard skins, he realized that he had been deceived.

But no matter what, the leopard skin was finally tricked out by Zheng Xuekun, and it brought him a lot of profits.

Therefore, even if he was deceived, Zheng Xuekun was still willing.

Today, Zheng Xuekun knew that he was being deceived again.

But he also clearly understood that if he followed Li Dayong's rhetoric and took the leopard skin back, he would definitely make a lot of money by reselling it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xuekun couldn't help but sigh that after traveling all over the country for so many years, he unexpectedly met an expert in a small mountain village in the northeast.

And he's not just a master. Last time, the little dwarf and the kid were powerful enough. This time, the old man looked like a reckless man, but when he spoke, he had a good understanding of people's psychology. .

Zheng Xuekun smiled at Li Dayong, then turned to Zhao Youcai and asked: "Master Zhao, how much do you want to sell this leather for?"

"How much is it?" Zhao Youcai looked at Li Dayong. Leader Zhao didn't know how to do business, but looking at his brother's performance just now, Zhao Youcai chose to believe Li Dayong.

"Thirty thousand!" Li Dayong reported the number, which shocked Zhao Youcai, Lin Xiangshun and the Zheng family.

But Li Dayong didn't ask for it blindly. He heard Li Baoyu say that when Zheng Xuekun went to Zhao's house to buy leopard skin, Wang Meilan's first quoted price was 20,000.

Zheng Xuekun, who came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Master, if I get 30,000 yuan for this piece of leather, I have to smash it into my hands."

Li Dayong smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Do as I say and take back this leather. Whoever you sold it to last time, sell it to him this time."

"That won't work either." Zheng Xuekun said with a bitter smile: "Then how will I deal with the big boss in the future?"

"What are you afraid of?" Li Dayong shook the leather in his hand and said, "With all this gold and silver protecting him, he has made a lot of money. He can only thank you."

"How about making money?" Zheng Xuekun asked.

Li Dayong smiled and said: "What big boss doesn't make money these days?"

Zheng Xuekun was stunned by Li Dayong's question. The real industry is very stable these days. As long as he doesn't seek death or be framed, he will almost always get stronger and stronger.

Seeing that Zheng Xuekun didn't speak, Zhao Youcai's heart almost jumped into his throat.

Thirty thousand. Zhao had never dreamed of so much money except visiting the grave.

Zheng Xuekun shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand and said, "This price is impossible."

After saying this, Zheng Xuekun spread his hands out and said to Zhao Youcai: "The leather I bought last time was 8,800, and I'll give you this one... 10,000."

Zheng Xuekun couldn't help it. When Li Dayong mentioned that piece of skin just now, Zheng Xuekun knew that the last time he spent a lot of money to buy a leopard skin had been reported. Although this piece of skin had minor injuries, it was much more complete than the one between them. .

"One..." Zhao Youcai's legs were shaking. He dared to go into the mountain to fight against tigers, leopards and bears, but he couldn't bear the money thrown at him.

"Pull it down quickly!" At this time, Li Dayong grabbed the cloth bag from Zhao Youcai's hand, stuffed the leopard skin into it, and said, "Master Zheng, we won't sell it anymore."

"Ah..." Zheng Xuekun thought Li Dayong wanted to raise the price, but he didn't expect Li Dayong to say: "No, we two brothers will go to Hebei. I don't believe we can't sell at a high price."

Zheng Xuekun: "..."

"Hey? Uncle Li!" At this time, Lin Xiangshun suddenly said, "It just so happens that we still have three tiger cub skins. We went to Hebei and sold them all in piles."

"Tiger cub?" After listening to Lin Xiangshun's words, Zheng Donghai blurted out and asked: "How big is it?"

"Son." Zheng Xuekun stopped Zheng Donghai. He remembered that he had heard someone say that the tiger cubs mentioned by the mountaineers here were not Siberian tigers, but lynxes.

But the lynx was not important at this time. What was important was that Li Dayong was holding the leopard skin in his hand.

"Master." Zheng Xuekun looked at Li Dayong and asked, "Your surname is Li, right?"

"Master Li." Seeing Li Dayong nod, Zheng Xuekun said, "I'll give you another two thousand, okay?"

Li Dayong shook his head and said: "Master Zheng, if you want to buy it sincerely, leave us 20,000 yuan, and you can take the leather when you're done."

"Twenty thousand is too much, Master Li." Zheng Xuekun said with a sad face: "I'll tell you the truth, I earned about 4,000 yuan for that piece of leather that time, which was less than 20,000 yuan."

At this point, Zheng Xuekun clicked his eyes twice, raised his right hand, put his thumb and little finger away, and said: "Thirty thousand, let's settle for this price, okay?"

Hearing Zheng Xuekun's words, Zhao Youcai quickly looked at Li Dayong, but Li Dayong still shook his head and said: "That's it, Master Zheng, you give eighteen thousand and eighty, this number is auspicious."

Zheng Xuekun: "..."

The last time Zheng Xuekun bought the leopard skin, the price reached a stalemate of 10,000. In the end, Zheng Xuekun wanted to seek luck, so he offered 8,800.

Zheng Xuekun took two deep breaths, glanced at Zheng Donghai beside him, then looked at Li Dayong and said: "Master Li, fifteen thousand."

After reporting the number, Zheng Xuekun raised his hand and said, "If you say yes, I will give you some money. If you say no, then we will leave."

After hearing what Zheng Xuekun said, Li Dayong looked at Zhao Youcai and said, "Brother, what do you think?"

"Okay! Okay!" After hearing Li Dayong relent, Zhao Youcai nodded repeatedly and said to Zheng Xuekun: "Master Zheng, please give me some money."

Hearing this, Zheng Xuekun reached out and pulled a bag from Zheng Donghai's arms. After opening the pocket, he reached into it and took out stacks of large lump sums one after another and stacked them on the table.

A whole stack of large unity is one hundred pieces, with a total value of one thousand yuan. Zheng Donghai took out fifteen stacks in a row. At this time, Lin Xiangshun, who was close to Zheng Xuekun, stood up to take out the money at Zhao Youcai's signal, and asked Zheng Xuekun: "Master Zheng, you two are strangers to this place, how dare you take out so much money?"

"That's not scary." Zheng Xuekun said with a smile: "I reported it to your police station in the forest area before I came up."

"That's okay." Lin Xiang complied and handed the money to Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai took the money with both hands and separated the fifteen wads of money. He, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun checked the money together.

None of the three of them had seen any money. They checked each item one by one, and the Zheng family and his son did not rush.

Seeing that Zhao Youcai checked the money in his hand twice and then stopped, Zheng Xuekun smiled and asked Zhao Youcai: "Master Zhao, I don't know your name yet."

As soon as Zheng Xuekun said this, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun stopped checking the money.

"Ah..." There is a first time and a second time for everything. Zhao Youcai said casually: "My name is Zhao Erdong."

Li Dayong, Lin Xiangshun: "..."

"Zhao Erdong?" Zheng Xuekun asked, "Which one is that dong?"

When he asked this question, Zhao Youcai was stunned. He couldn't say it was a "dong-dong-dong" right?

"The pillar of strength." Fortunately, Li Dayong came to his rescue.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "I have a brother, his name is Zhao Daliang, and my name is Zhao Erdong."

"Oh, that's a good name." Zheng Xuekun praised, "What a great talent!"

"Yes!" Zheng Donghai, who has always had a weak sense of presence, continued with a smile: "Master Zhao, your brother is called Zhao Sancai?"

"I have no brother, haha." Zhao Youcai, who had received a large amount of money, was very happy and a little confused, so he didn't care about Zheng Donghai's offense.

But this Zheng Donghai is really like what his father said, he is a little bit rich.

After hearing Zhao Youcai say that he has no younger brother, Zheng Donghai said: "Master Zhao, if you have a son or grandson, you can call him Zhao Sancai."

As soon as Zheng Donghai finished speaking, his father punched him in the arm.

"Are you talking nonsense?" Zheng Xuekun said angrily: "Isn't that a bad grade?"

"Ah... yes." Zheng Donghai clicked his eyes. Just when Zheng Xuekun thought he would stop talking nonsense, Zheng Donghai suddenly said: "Master Zhao, then your son's name is Zhao Youcai."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Li Dayong, Lin Xiangshun: "..."

"Tsk! Can you shut up?" Zheng Xuekun stared at Zheng Donghai fiercely, but Zheng Donghai said: "Are you a pillar of talent?"

"Shut up!" Zheng Xuekun gave Zheng Donghai another blow, and then turned around to apologize to Zhao Youcai.

But when he turned around, he saw Zhao Youcai snatching the money from Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun. Then Zhao Youcai put the three parts of the money together, opened his arms and held the money on the table and pushed it towards Zheng Xuekun, then stood up and waved his hand: "You damn kid, I won't sell you any more!"

Zheng Xuekun: "..."
