The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Hearing Wang Meilan say that Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng had not returned after being away for three hours, Zhao Jun couldn't help but frowned and said, "Mom, could they have gone up the mountain?"

"Can't...can you?" Wang Meilan clicked her eyes and said: "They both went out in the afternoon, and neither of them was carrying guns. By the way, your Uncle Zhao was carrying a camera. Did the two of them go to take pictures? "

Zhao Jun frowned slightly. He didn't see Zhao Weipeng's jeep when he came back just now, so he was afraid that these two people would go up the mountain. After all, Zhao Youcai is still guilty. What if Wang Meilan really separates from him?

While Zhao Jun was talking to Wang Meilan, Jie Chen came out of the room with two candles and smiled at Wang Meilan: "Auntie, I... will hold the lamp!"

This guy has been in Yongan for so long and has learned both the good and the bad.

But Wang Meilan was very satisfied. She waved her hand to Chong Jiechen and said, "Go ahead. From now on, you will be in charge of those two big lanterns."

"Hey!" Jie Chen seemed to have gotten some good job, so he ran out happily.

Zhao Jun didn't think much and dragged the roe deer under the wall of fire. Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan, and Liu Lanying all started to pick off the roe deer, while Zhao Jun went into the house to rest.

About half an hour later, a jeep drove into Yong'an Tun at lightning speed. Stopping outside the camp, Zhao Youcai got out of the car with two semi-automatic rifles in his arms. When he entered the camp, he said to Zhao Guofeng: "Guofeng, my Zhao Jun wants to ask you a question, so I said we'll leave it here for you in the afternoon. I’m chatting with you.”

It is common for men to help each other cover up. Zhao Guofeng agreed without thinking.

Zhao Youcai ran out of the camp and got into the car when Zhao Weipeng asked: "Brother, how do you treat the cow?"

"Brother, do you have any money in your hand?" Zhao Youcai turned to Zhao Weipeng and asked a very important question, but after asking Zhao Weipeng was afraid that Zhao Weipeng would misunderstand, Zhao Youcai hurriedly explained: "I don't even have any money at home. After all, brother, you have to have it in your hand. You advance the money first, and I will give it to you later.”

"Brother, I have money." Zhao Weipeng responded first, and then asked Zhao Youcai, "How much does it cost?"

"Oh!" Zhao Youcai sighed softly and said, "Well, we don't want the cow. We can't take it home and let the tenant steak it and sell it. I estimate that I can sell it for about five hundred yuan. Money, let’s pay him another four to five hundred when it’s over.”

"That's okay." Zhao Weipeng nodded and said, "Brother, I'll give you five hundred yuan."

"Brother, you just put the five hundred yuan in advance, and you don't have to pay a penny." Zhao Youcai said very loyally: "I will send someone a message tomorrow, and I will give you the money the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Youcai's money is still in the hands of Han Daiming in Yongsheng Village. He plans to find Han Dachun in a village tomorrow morning, and then ask Han Dachun to go to the work unit and tell Han Daiming to give him five hundred yuan. In this case, Han Dachun can bring the money back from get off work the night after tomorrow.

"Brother!" Zhao Weipeng gave up as soon as he heard this and waved his fat hand and shouted: "You can't afford this money alone, brother, I..."

"Brother, don't say anything." Zhao Youcai stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Weipeng's arm and said, "You came to my brother's house. Can I let you make compensation here?"

As soon as Zhao Youcai said these words, Zhao Weipeng was moved and said with a sip: "Brother, your brother is rich..."

"Stop talking, brother!" Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said, "That's it."

"No, brother!" Zhao Weipeng was anxious, but Zhao Youcai said: "Stop talking, brother! Money is not the issue, the key is shame!"

As he said that, Zhao Youcai beat his chest with his backhand and said, "Brother, I'm so upset!"

As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Zhao Weipeng lowered his head and said nothing. He went up to the mountains to hunt and killed an old cow. If Chu Anmin knew this, he would have to laugh at himself to death.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhao Youcai saw four people walking towards him, two adults and two children. It was Wang Qiang's family of four.

"Brother!" Zhao Youcai slapped Zhao Weipeng next to him and said, "When you get home, your sister-in-law asked, and she said that we would stay here in the afternoon to chat with the village chief."

After saying that, Zhao Youcai rolled down the window and shouted to Wang Qiang and the others: "Qiangzi, come on, get in the car!"

Two minutes later, the car stopped outside Zhao Jun's courtyard, and a group of people got out of the car and entered the house.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhao Weipeng greeted Wang Meilan as soon as he entered the house and said, "I'm back!"

"Oh, brother!" Wang Meilan asked, "Where have you been?"

While talking, Wang Meilan saw Zhao Youcai leading Wang Xue in.

"Yeah!" Wang Meilan was slightly startled and asked Wang Qiang, who followed Zhao Youcai in, "Why did you all come together?"

"Ah..." Zhao Youcai forced a smile on his face and said, "My brother and I were chatting in Tunbu and Guofeng in the afternoon. After we came out of Tunbu, we looked at Qiangzi and the others."

"How long have you been chatting all afternoon?" Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said with a smile: "You also said that I would wait for you to come back to stew the blind bear's paw, so I won't rush there when you come back."

"Haha..." Zhao Youcai laughed dryly and asked casually, "You're already stewed."

"That's right, I stewed it." After Wang Meilan finished talking to Zhao Youcai, she turned to Zhao Weipeng and said, "Brother, come in and have a rest. We'll have dinner soon."

As she said that, Wang Meilan gestured towards the west courtyard and said, "If you want to eat that toad stewed with dried potatoes, your sister-in-law, the old Li family, is letting her family stew it for you."

"Oh, sister-in-law." Zhao Weipeng said movedly: "You are so kind to me."

Wang Meilan smiled when she heard this and urged Zhao Weipeng to go into the house to rest.

Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Youcai went to the west room and sat down, smoking facing each other. At this time, Zhao Jun came in with a thermos bottle and a teapot. Seeing that Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng were silent, Zhao Jun asked tentatively: "Dad, uncle, do you two go to that room to watch TV?"

"I'm not going, just take a look." Zhao Youcai responded without raising his head, while Zhao Weipeng, who was smoking on the kang cabinet, didn't even say a word.

"Uncle." Zhao Jun put the teapot on the Kang table, looked at Zhao Weipeng and asked, "Why do you look so wilted?"

"Ah, nephew, I'm fine." Zhao Weipeng said in a hoarse voice, "I'm just a little tired."

As soon as Zhao Weipeng said these words, Zhao Youcai, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly raised his head and winked at Zhao Weipeng.

"Tired?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this and asked: "Uncle, you and my dad, aren't you just chatting in the Tunbu?"

"Ah..." Zhao Weipeng came back to his senses, smiled at Zhao Jun, and said, "I've been chatting all afternoon. I'm tired."

"Yes." Zhao Youcai continued from the side and said to Zhao Jun: "Didn't you hear that your uncle's voice is hoarse?"

"Ah, then you two brothers, please drink some water." Zhao Jun made tea for the two of them and looked back at Zhao Weipeng before leaving.

Today's Zhao family dinner is much richer than yesterday, including braised bear paws, braised bear legs, stewed forest frogs and dried potatoes, stir-fried wild boar with sauerkraut, stir-fried roe deer tenderloin with garlic sprouts, steamed wild boar sausage, home-cooked cold dishes, fried peanuts, and cabbage Stir-fried fungus, shredded potatoes mixed with soy sauce, radish mixed with rock sugar, and canned luncheon meat. There were twelve dishes in total, and the table could hardly be set.

But today, the atmosphere in the man's house was a bit dull, mainly because of the owner Zhao Youcai and the guest Zhao Weipeng. They were relatively dull, and the atmosphere never got up.

Huang Gui and the others had not returned from their trip to Yongsheng. Wang Qiang and Zhao Jun, uncle and nephew, sat next to each other. Wang Qiang stared at Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng, but leaned his shoulders towards Zhao Jun, tilted his head and whispered in Zhao Jun's ear: "There must be something wrong with those two."

"Well, cough." Zhao Jun pretended to cough and responded. He also saw it, but no one thought that the two men took the time to run up the mountain and were beaten to death by Lao Niu.

As the saying goes: One drink can solve a thousand worries.

Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng didn't eat much food, but they drank a lot of wine. Just after nine o'clock, as soon as the guests dispersed, the two who drank too much lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

Zhao Youcai is the kind of person who doesn't snore normally but snores when he drinks too much. Needless to say, Zhao Weipeng's "Hang-Hang" snoring sounds seem familiar to the little black bear.

"Son." Wang Meilan called to Zhao Jun who came out to wash his feet and said, "Why don't you sleep in mom's room?"

"No, Mom." Zhao Jun said, "I'm still in that room. I'm afraid they will vomit at night."

Because one of the two people who drank too much was a guest, Wang Meilan didn't say anything. After Zhao Jun washed his feet, he plugged his and the little lynx's ears with toilet paper, then got into bed and covered their heads with each other to sleep.

The next day, Saturday, December 19, 1987.

Hangover Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng woke up early. They got off the kang and went to the latrine at around five o'clock. After coming out of the hut, the two stood outside the courtyard to discuss.

"Brother, we'll go out for a walk after dinner. After that, we'll go straight to that gangster village." Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Weipeng, "I have a good buddy in that village. Give him the money and ask him to come forward and give it to us." Let’s settle this matter.”

"Okay, brother." Zhao Weipeng's voice was even hoarse than yesterday, and he said, "Just make the arrangements."

"Woof!" Suddenly, a dog howled loudly in the Zhao courtyard. The green tiger jumped out of the kennel and roared at Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng outside the tent.

"What are you calling for?" Zhao Youcai jumped into the courtyard in two steps, clenched his fists and went straight to Qinghuo.

The green tiger turned around and got into the doghouse. Seeing this, Zhao Youcai didn't care about the old dog and went back to the house with Zhao Weipeng.

As soon as the two entered the room, they saw Wang Meilan taking a bowl out of the noodle bag and rolling out noodles.

"Lan Na." Zhao Youcai said to Wang Meilan, "Don't bake pancakes today. Let's try something light."

"I know." Wang Meilan said, "I'll give you the pimple soup."

"That's okay, sister-in-law." Zhao Weipeng, who had solved his troubles, returned to his true nature as a foodie, and asked Wang Meilan with a smile: "What kind of soup are you putting in there?"

"We have sun-dried eggplants at home." Wang Meilan raised her hand to point to the stove and said with a smile: "I soaked them all, so they will be delicious when boiled in soup."

Wang Meilan knew that the two of them drank too much and couldn't eat anything heavy in the morning, so she made pimple soup.

But while Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, and Zhao Weipeng were eating in the west room, the dog outside the room started barking and barking fiercely.

"You eat your food, I'll go out and take a look." Wang Meilan shouted to the back room, then she opened the door and ran outside.

Soon, Wang Meilan came back and called Zhao Jun and said, "Son, hurry up and go to the Tunbu. I have your phone number."

"What, Guofeng is here?" Zhao Youcai was shocked when he heard this. He was afraid that Zhao Guofeng had leaked what happened yesterday, so he hurriedly asked Wang Meilan: "Why didn't you invite him into the house for dinner?"

"He's not coming." Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun who was wearing clothes at the door: "Son, go quickly, it seems to be your uncle Zhou who is calling."

"What's going on?" Zhao Jun put on his cotton-padded jacket and ran out. He and Zhao Guofeng went outside the hospital to the camp.

When he got to the station and picked up the phone, Zhao Jun just said hello when Zhou Chunming on the other end said, "Zhao Jun, did you go up the mountain yesterday?"

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned and asked: "Uncle Zhou, how do you know?"

Zhou Chunming did not answer, but asked: "Where did you go on the mountain?"

"I went to the back of Erya Mountain, to the 27th class." Although Zhao Jun was a little puzzled, he still told the truth.

"What did you catch?" Zhou Chunming asked again, and Zhao Jun replied: "I just caught a roe deer."

"Didn't you catch anything else?" Zhou Chunming asked again, and Zhao Jun blinked and said: "No, uncle, do you need anything?"

"Really didn't catch anything?" Zhou Chunming was very strange today, he didn't answer Zhao Jun's words again, and asked again.

"No." Zhao Jun said, "I just hit a roe deer."

"Did you kill someone's cow?" Zhou Chunming's next question made Zhao Jun stunned, and he subconsciously said, "Uncle Zhou, what are you talking about?"

"Cow!" Zhou Chunming repeated, "Did you kill someone's cow tied up the mountain?"

"No!" Zhao Jun said firmly, "Absolutely not!"

After hearing Zhao Jun's answer, Zhou Chunming was silent for two seconds, and then said, "Come to the field later."

After saying this, Zhou Chunming paused. He still believed Zhao Jun, so he revealed to Zhao Jun in advance: "Director Fan just asked his village to come to me, saying that the head of the 27th forest squad sued you..."

"What?" Zhao Jun was a little confused, and then he heard Zhou Chunming continue, "They said you killed someone's cow."

After he said this, Zhao Jun was even more confused. While Zhao Jun was silent, Zhou Chunming added, "After the fight, you ran away."

"Uncle Zhou." Zhao Jun came to his senses at this time, and he said firmly, "No, I definitely didn't do it."

"Okay." Zhou Chunming said on the other end of the phone, "Then you will come to the site later and come directly to my office. After that, Director Fan and others will come over later."

After that, Zhou Chunming hung up the phone.

Zhao Jun hung up the phone, still a little confused. After saying goodbye to Zhao Guofeng, Zhao Jun walked home in a daze.

After arriving home, Zhao Jun had no appetite for food. He sat on the edge of the kang in the west room. Wang Meilan, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng all saw that he was not right.

"What's wrong, son?" Wang Meilan asked, "Why did your uncle Zhou come to you all morning?"

Zhao Jun blinked his eyes and looked at Wang Meilan and said, "It's about that... someone reported me."

"Ah?" The three were shocked, and Wang Meilan even put down her bowl and asked Zhao Jun, "Why are you reporting us?"

Zhao Jun, who had been thinking all the way, came to his senses at this time. He comforted Wang Meilan and said, "It's okay, Mom, they must have made a mistake."

"What happened?" Wang Meilan asked, and Zhao Jun said, "A cow died in the 27th class..."

As soon as Zhao Jun started talking, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng were struck by lightning, and they looked at each other in panic. At this time, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan's attention was not on them, so they did not notice their abnormality.

"Yesterday, Xiaochen and I were just arguing over there. They must have seen me and blamed me for this." Wang Meilan was furious when she heard Zhao Jun say this. She glared and asked anxiously, "Why? Why are you accusing my son?"
