The whole mountain is my hunting ground

At the gate of Yongan Forest Farm, the Jiefang cars drove away, leaving behind the Zheng family, each pushing a bicycle and standing there looking at each other.

"Who are these people!" Looking at the car taillights flashing in the vast night, Zheng Donghai said: "At first, they said they would arrange for us to eat in the cafeteria, and then they would send us Yongfu to Yongfu when we were done. This..."

"Shut up!" Zheng Xuekun turned the front of the car and scolded Zheng Donghai angrily: "If you weren't talking nonsense, would you?"

"Dad, what did I say?" Zheng Donghai said with an aggrieved look on his face, "Didn't I just make a joke? Besides, the man surnamed Li has put in good words for us, and Zhao Erdong also agreed to add five hundred yuan. Who is this person who gave us his skin, but later regretted it and said he had to add a thousand?"

Zheng Donghai didn't say a word correctly before, which angered Zhao Youcai. Zhao Bantou, who has always loved money, didn't even want a huge sum of fifteen thousand.

Zheng Xuekun didn't know why his son's casual words made Zhao Youcai lose his temper so much, and he quickly stood up and apologized to Zhao Youcai.

At that time, Zhao Youcai was very angry, which made Zheng Xuekun guess whether Master Zhao's son had an accident. Zheng Donghai only mentioned Zhao Youcai's pain points.

After much deliberation, this was the only possibility. Zheng Xuekun hurriedly took his son to apologize to Zhao Youcai. At this time, Li Dayong quietly scolded Zhao Youcai under the table, and then stood up to be the peacemaker.

The two brothers had been working together for many years. With just a small move from Li Dayong, Zhao Youcai could guess what Li Dayong was thinking.

At this time, Zhao Youcai's anger had subsided a lot. There was nothing he could do. He was facing a famine outside, so what if he didn't sell the leopard skin?

So Zhao Youcai acted in a play with Li Dayong and asked Zheng Xuekun to pay 500 yuan more, otherwise Zhao Youcai would not sell the leopard skin.

Zheng Xuekun reluctantly agreed, but he had just agreed one second, and Zhao Youcai regretted it the next.

Remembering that Zheng Xuekun said that his wife was a widow, Zhao Youcai got angry again and asked Zheng Xuekun to add another five hundred.

After a debate between the two parties, Zheng Xuekun bought the leopard skin for 16,000 yuan. Originally, the deal was completed for fifteen thousand yuan, but just because of Zheng Donghai's words, he took out an extra thousand yuan. It's strange that Zheng Xuekun wasn't angry.

But at the moment, Zheng Xuekun can't take care of Zheng Donghai because they were left in the mountains by Zhao Youcai.

Just like what Zheng Donghai said, Zhao Youcai was very good at the beginning. He said that after the transaction was over, he asked Niu Junsheng to prepare some food. After eating and drinking, Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai went down the mountain together in a car. Zhao Youcai was going to send them to Yongfu Village. go.

At that time, Zhao Youcai said that the roads in the village were not easy to navigate, so he sent them outside the village. Then the Zheng family and his son went to the village to inquire and found Xu Baoshan's family.

But now, the Zheng family and his son were left hungry outside the forest farm gate. It was already dark in the mountains at this time, and the cold wind was blowing. The Zheng family and his son felt desolate.

On the mountain road, because it was dark, the car was not going very fast, but at this time Zhao Youcai's heart seemed to fly out of his body.

Excited, excited, still excited.

Seeing Zhao Youcai's shoulders shaking slightly, Li Dayong hurriedly advised him: "Brother, please take it easy."

"Uncle Li." Lin Xiangshun, who was driving, glanced this way and said with a smile, "My second uncle is so happy."

"That won't work either." Li Dayong said, "There used to be a man who passed the exam to become an official, and he suddenly went crazy with joy."

"Oh my god, is this like this?" Lin Xiangshun was startled by Li Dayong's words. He turned to look at Zhao Youcai. Seeing that Zhao Youcai's body was shaking with excitement, Lin Xiangshun said hurriedly: "Second uncle, please pay attention."

"Brother!" At this time, Li Dayong grabbed Zhao Youcai's hand holding the belt of his pocket and said, "You can't just take this money back, right?"

Li Dayong's words were like a basin of cold water poured over Zhao Youcai's head. Zhao Youcai suddenly woke up, took out a wad of money from his pocket, and said to Li Dayong: "Dayong, I will let you take the money these two times..."

"Okay, brother." Li Dayong held Zhao Youcai's hand holding the money and said, "Both of us are easy to talk to. Don't give it to me now. If you give it to me, I don't have anywhere to put it."

After saying this, Li Dayong pointed to the triangular bag placed on Zhao Youcai's lap and said, "You can't afford such a big bag, right?"

"Shunzi." Zhao Youcai turned to look at Lin Xiangshun and said, "How about I leave it at your house first?"

"It's okay to leave it at my house." Lin Xiangshun said with a wry smile: "But if my Yan'er wants to know about it, she has to tell my second aunt."

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Youcai frowned, wondering where to hide the money.

"Second uncle." Lin Xiangshun said to Zhao Youcai while driving: "Why don't you just tell the truth to my second aunt."

"That won't work." Zhao Youcai put the money bag into his arms and said, "Then it would be great if she can leave me eight hundred thousand."

In fact, one thousand yuan or eight hundred yuan is not a small amount these days, but Zhao Youcai has spent a lot this year, and he feels that it is inappropriate for him to have less.

"Shunzi." Li Dayong asked Lin Xiangshun across Zhao Youcai: "Do you have room at home, so just put the money there so that your wife doesn't come to take a look?"

"Oh..." Lin Xiangshun was thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "The stove in the west room of my house is not burning, so why don't I give Qian Shun to stuff it in there and hide it in the kang hole?"

In the Northeast, you can always see such a scene. People were sleeping on the kang. There was a hole on the ground at the end of the kang, and a fire was roaring in the hole.

This is the Northeast Fire Kang.

The pit of the fire kang is called Nang (nǎng) stove in the local dialect.

Going inside the stove, it is called a kang hole where the smoke is exhausted and the heat is taken away.

Lin Xiangshun's family has young children, so the three members of the family sleep on the kang in the east room. The kang in the west room is usually not burned.

Lin Xiangshun suggested that the Qianshun bag stove should be stuffed into the pit. No one would pick it up or look at it there.

"You can pull me down." As soon as Lin Xiangshun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Dayong, who only heard Li Dayong say: "If you don't stay at home, Chun Yan'er will stay at home and burn the kang, and the fire will be lit."

Hearing what Li Dayong said, Zhao Youcai shook his head repeatedly.

"You can't put so much money in the pile of zhezi." When Li Dayong muttered, Lin Xiangshun suddenly remembered another place and hurriedly said to Zhao Youcai: "Second uncle, please remember to put the flowers in front of my house when I was little. Give it to Can’t you fix that kennel?”

Hua Xiao was originally raised by Lin Xiangshun. Later, Zhao Jun said he liked it, so Lin Xiangshun took the dog to Zhao's house.

When he mentioned this, Zhao Youcai's mind instantly flashed to the northeast corner of Lin Xiangshun's backyard.

Lin Xiangshun is a forest farm driver and has no shortage of building materials at home. The kennel is made of red bricks and yellow mud. Because the terrain in front of the kennel door is low, Lin Xiangshun deliberately raised the kennel door.

In this way, the door is high and the inside is low. If you don't go back and look inside the kennel, you can't see what's going on in the kennel.

Lin Xiangshun stopped raising dogs after giving Hua Xiao to Zhao Jun. The kennel has been idle for so many years. In the middle of winter, Xu Chunyan rarely goes to the backyard, let alone the doghouse.

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up and he said, "Don't tell me, that kennel is really good. Let's leave it there for two days. I'll find a place later."

After discussing the place to hide the money, all three of them were very happy. At this time, in Dongdagou outside Yong'an Tun, Zhao Jun and others were lowering their cages into the water on the river.

The ground cage was unfolded on the ice next to it. When Jie Chen picked up the end of the ground cage and sent it into the water, Li Baoyu on the opposite ice used a shovel to pick up half a shovel of snow and spread it on the net between the two sections of the ground cage.

When the snow meets the water, it turns into a slushy state, pressing down on the ground cage and sinking into the water, bringing the next section of the ground cage on the ice into the water.

Li Baoyu on the other side continued to repeat the previous actions, and soon a twenty-meter cage was lowered into the river.

There was a long fishing net line at the mouth of the ground cage, and Zhao Jun tied it to a wooden stick three or four meters long.

Then, Zhao Jun inserted the wooden stick into the water and exposed one end to the water.

This is a mark, so you know where to start when raising the ground cage.

After setting up the ground cage, everyone ran to the place where the net was lowered before. Raising the net was also a technical job. Zhou Jianjun volunteered to squat on the ice to raise the net.

He was one meter away from the water, and there was a sack spread on the ice in front of his feet. This was to prevent the fish from landing on the beach and escape from the net if it landed on the ice. There is a sack to increase friction and prevent the fish from flopping.

Zhou Jianjun pulled the network cable, alternating his hands back and forth without any haste.

At this time, the people next to him couldn't see Zhou Jianjun's exertion. Zhou Jianjun's hands were gentle and he gradually pulled the net out of the water.

When lowering the net, a float is paired with a sinker, and when raising the net, a float is paired with a sinker. The float and sinker come together, and the fishing net is rolled up to wrap the fish and stick it.

This sticky net was about 278 meters long. When Zhou Jianjun pulled it up three to four meters, a carp appeared in front of everyone.

Before dark, a group of people lit pine tar torches on the river.

Under the light of the fire, everyone gathered behind Zhou Jianjun, shouting in all directions.

"fish!"

"fish!"

"Ouch, fuck me!"

The carp is not big, weighing only a pound, and is two feet long from head to tail. It is hunched over the sticky net, with its dorsal fin, pectoral fin and tail scraping against the net, making it impossible for it to break free.

As the fish was wrapped in the fishing net and brought ashore, Jiechen and Ma Yang on Zhou Jianjun's left reached out and picked the carp from the net.

At this time, Ma Yang held the fish tail with one hand, and inserted the thumb and index finger of the other hand into the gills of the fish on both sides, holding the carp firmly in his hand.

Long before setting up the net, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu filled the big basin with water. At this time, Li Baoyu was holding a nylon net bag. After Ma Yang put the fish into the net bag, Li Baoyu threw the net bag and the fish into the basin of water.

Just as the two were pretending to be fish, another fish came ashore, another carp, about the same size as the one just now. Han Daming started to pick the fish off the net.

"Hey? Jianjun." Standing on the shore, Ma Dafu saw the fish and couldn't help but exchange experiences with Zhou Jianjun and said, "There are so many fish here."

The net has only been lowered for an hour and a half, and we have seen fish continuously, indicating that there are many fish in this river. If the net is sunk in the water for two days, the fish catch will be even more amazing.

Zhou Jianjun was about to reply to Ma Dafu's words when his hands suddenly sank and he felt something struggling with him under the water.

Zhou Jianjun's eyes widened and he hurriedly called Ma Dafu, "Uncle Ma, look!"

Zhou Jianjun greeted Ma Dafu, but when he shouted, everyone looked in the water.

But at this time, the net was slowly pulled out of the water by Zhou Jianjun, but no fish was found.

"Oh my god!" Ma Dafu exclaimed, reaching out and picking something from the fishing net that Zhou Jianjun had just pulled ashore.

When everyone saw it, they all exclaimed: "Oh, fuck me!"

"Such big scales!" Jie Chen exclaimed and saw a piece of fish scale held in Ma Dafu's hand. The fish scale was about the same size as the nail of Ma Dafu's thumb.

How big must the fish be to have such big scales?

Zhou Jianjun continued to pull the net. At this time, everyone could see that the float on the sticky net was shaking constantly. There should be fish competing with Zhou Jianjun in the water.

Zhou Jianjun's hands were steady and his movements were gentle. As the net gradually emerged from the water, everyone saw the shadow of the fish underwater.

Soon, the fish's head came out of the water, and everyone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw it.

It's still a carp, not to mention how big the fish's head is. Just looking at the fish's mouth and chin are red.

"Jianjun, do you want to use a dip net?" Ma Dafu shouted from the side. He kept holding the dip net in his hand, which was a preparation made to prevent the big fish from falling out of the net when he was waiting for the big fish.

"No, Uncle Ma." Zhou Jianjun smiled confidently: "It can't run away."

When Zhou Jianjun spoke, most of the fish was already ashore.

This carp has yellow scales on both sides of its body from its pectoral fin back.

This is the same characteristic of wild carp as its red mouth.

These days, this kind of fish is not worth much, but it will be very valuable in twenty or thirty years.

At this time, no one dared to breathe. Even though Zhou Jianjun said he didn't need help, Ma Dafu still dipped the net into the water.

The fish was wrapped in a sticky net and could not be caught with a dip net, but Ma Dafu blocked the mouth of the net under the fish's tail to prevent the big carp from escaping.

When the big carp came ashore, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen and Ma Yang all pounced on it. They held down the body of the fish while Ma Yang started to pick off the net covering the fish's head.

After picking out the fish head, Ma Dafu's net arrived and put the fish head down into the net. Then Li Yubao and the others picked off the net that was stuck to the fish.

This big carp must be ninety centimeters long, nearly one meter. Ma Dafu weighed it and estimated that it weighed ten kilograms.

Just as Ma Dafu was walking towards the water basin with the net, Zhao Jun suddenly stopped Ma Dafu.

"Uncle." Zhao Jun said, "Would you like to come to my house to eat at night?"

"Coming to your house... is a big deal." Ma Dafu said with a slight hesitation, "Your aunt has already prepared food at home."

"My aunt will cook and let her and Ling'er eat." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "You and my little brother go to my house, and then let my mother stew the big fish."

"Uncle Ma!" At this time, Zhou Jianjun shouted over there: "Let's go, we caught such a big fish today, why don't we have a drink?"

"Okay!" After hearing this, Ma Dafu looked down at the fish in the net, raised his head and said with a smile, "Then drink."

"Uncle Dachun, uncle Ming." Zhao Jun called to Han Dachun and Ming Han: "Let's all go."

The Han brothers are not polite to the Zhao family. They are not here to stutter, but to have fun together.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhao Jun put the more than ten kilograms of large carp in a sack and gave it to Jie Chen to send him home and hand it over to Wang Meilan.

After Jie Chen left, everyone gathered around Zhou Jianjun.

Zhou Jianjun continued to set up the net. As two crucian carp, three catfish and two carp came ashore, no one was calm anymore.

"Brother." Li Baoyu pulled Zhao Jun and said, "There are too many fish here, right?"

"Well, it's not good..." Before Zhao Jun could finish his words, he saw Zhou Jianjun, who had been squatting on the shore, stand up.

Zhou Jianjun was poking there, his hands clearly tightening.

But at this time, the underwater net was motionless.

"Jianjun, slow down!" Ma Dafu reminded from the side: "This is a big guy!"
