The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Li Baoyu said this as a joke. Three semi-automatic guns and two bundles of marbles. How can these bandits be defeated by these small things?

But when Wang Meilan heard this, she became even more angry.

A few days ago, it was he, Zhao Youcai, who asked Wang Meilan to discipline Zhao Jun and prevent Zhao Jun from going into the mountains to hunt in the new year.

But as for Zhao Youcai, the closer he gets to the new year, the more arrogant he becomes.

Moreover, the Zhao and Li families will set up a banquet to entertain relatives and friends tomorrow, and some meat dishes need to be processed in advance today. Otherwise, it will definitely be too late to cook them tomorrow.

As for these, the chef Zhao Youcai had already promised that he would not make them until he came back. But he didn't go home after get off work, and went to the mountains to look for wild boars.

How could this not make Wang Meilan angry?

However, Wang Meilan took care of the three members of the Li family and resisted getting angry with Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai seemed to know that he had done something wrong. He quickly took off his cotton-padded jacket and asked Wang Meilan, "Lan, what else needs to be done? Just take a rest and I'll do it."

At this time, Zhao Jun came back from sending Marlezi away. When he entered the house, he saw his mother looking unhappy and said hurriedly: "Mom, are you not allowed to eat pig knuckles?"

In fact, this question should be asked to Zhao Youcai, but Zhao Jun wanted to give his mother a way out.

Sure enough, Wang Meilan replied: "Ask your dad."

Zhao Youcai on the side said hurriedly: "Yang, take out those pork thighs and ribs."

Zhao Jun responded and asked Li Baoyu to go to the warehouse with him. The two of them each pulled out a sack. Zhao Jun's sack contained eight pig knuckles. The sack Li Baoyu pulled contained two fans of ribs.

The last time Zhao Jun defeated three wild boars, the cannons, eggs and meat were taken away by two families and given away.

Most of the meat on the female wild boar and Huangmaozi was retained, and these eight pig knuckles and two sets of ribs came from them.

Zhao Jun dragged the pig knuckle into his house, while Li Baoyu was stopped by Jin Xiaomei who came out of Zhao Jun's house.

"Carry the family?" Jin Xiaomei asked Li Baoyu.

"Ah?" Li Baoyu was stunned, what was going on.

Seeing her stupid son stunned on the spot, Jin Xiaomei said: "Liangguo Yang, isn't it fast?"

Only then did Li Baoyu react, picked up the sack and returned home with Jin Xiaomei.

When Li Baoyu got home, he put down his sack and wanted to go to Zhao Jun's house, but was stopped by Jin Xiaomei again.

Jin Xiaomei slammed the kitchen knife on the cutting board and said angrily: "Chop the ribs before leaving!"

Li Baoyu was chopping wild boar ribs at home, and Zhao Jun returned to the house and saw Wang Meilan boiling water, so he put the pig knuckles one by one into the cold water pot.

"Son!" At this time, Zhao Youcai's voice came from the back room.

Zhao Jun entered the house and saw Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong sitting on the kang drinking water, so he asked, "Dad, why are you calling me?"

Zhao Youcai said: "After fifteen, come up the mountain with me."

Zhao Jun found it interesting when he heard this. He didn't expect that his father was so addicted to hunting.

Zhao Jun did not agree immediately, but with a smile on his face, he asked: "Dad, let's go up the mountain, who listens to whom?"

"What?" When Zhao Youcai heard this, he immediately became unhappy. His eyes widened and he shouted, "You still want to be the leader?"

Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Baoyu and I went up the mountain, and he listened to me."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong were happy.

Li Dayong smiled and said: "I will go that day too. You listen to your father, and Baoyu listens to me."

Zhao Jun laughed and said: "You are a gang, Baoyu and I are a gang, let's just break up the gang and work together."

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai pointed to the three semi-automatic rifles hanging behind the door and said, "Did you see that I borrowed three guns from the camp? One for me, one for your Uncle Li, and two for you." Brother, give it a try."

Among these old mountaineers, it’s not about the gun, it’s about the tree. Zhao Youcai borrowed three guns to form a team with Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun.

As for why he called Zhao Jun, it should be that Zhao Jun's marksmanship has been approved by him, and the formation of more than a hundred pigs is no joke.

But Zhao Jun didn't seem to be interested in this and said with a smile: "You beat yourselves, Baoyu and I will beat the dogs around."

"I don't understand anything." Zhao Youcai pointed at Zhao Jun and said with a smile: "When the pigs set up a formation, not to mention your dog, not even the tiger dared to charge in."

At this point, Zhao Youcai gestured with his hands in front of him and said, "I went up to see it today. The hoof marks are so big, can your dog trap them?"

Zhao Jun took a look, guessed based on experience, and said, "Dad, this is more than a thousand catties, right?"

Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong nodded in unison. Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun and said, "There are more than a hundred pigs, and the number of eggs in the outer ring is at least thirty, right? If you set up the formation and the tiger rushes in, it will be dead. If you want to, you will die." I said, just come with us.

When we get to the mountain, let Baoyu use Marlezi to blow up the pigs, and then we'll fight. Me, you, your Uncle Li, and your second brother, the four of us work together, four semi-automatic trees blocking both sides. No matter how big the pig is, it can't run away. "

When Zhao Jun heard this, he realized that no wonder his father insisted on getting him to join the gang. It turned out to be a wishful thinking.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was silent, Zhao Youcai became anxious and asked Zhao Jun: "Are you going or not? Are you talking?"

Zhao Ergudong!

It is famous that emotions and anger cannot be expressed in color.

If Zhao Jun remembered correctly, this was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had seen Zhao Youcai looking so eager.

However, he couldn't agree.

"Dad." Zhao Jun said: "When the marlezi explodes, the pigs will be frightened and break up. Not to mention hundreds, there will be dozens of pigs running past, coming to you and rolling them in for you. How to fix it?"

"This..." Zhao Youcai was startled, and looked at Li Dayong, and the two fell into silence.

Zhao Jun was right. The pigs were frightened and must have fled in all directions. Two people on each side, two semi-automatic rifles, and up to twenty-two bullets.

You know, not one bullet can definitely kill a wild boar. Needless to say, as long as there are fifteen pigs running towards each other, two people and two guns may not be able to stop them.

If there are more pigs, it will be more dangerous. If you are involved in the pigs, you will be trampled to death.

Moreover, in the process of siege, there are often many surprises, which are completely unpredictable.

"Then you can't lead the dog." Zhao Youcai seemed a little unwilling to accept that he had been fighting for more than ten years, but in the end he was refuted by his son.

"Let's talk about it then." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Maybe after the fifteenth day, the pig herd will break up. The mountain is so big, where can we find it?"

While Zhao Jun was talking, Wang Meilan came in from the outer room. She took a deep look at Zhao Youcai and said, "Why are you beating it? Can the meat of such a big pig be eaten?"

In the wild boar population, sows cannot grow very big, the maximum is only about three hundred pounds, and they are very rare.

But the boar is different. It is possible for a boar to grow up to 1,800 kilograms. Otherwise, there would be no so-called pig god.

Zhao Youcai sat cross-legged on the kang, with his back straightened and his head slightly raised, saying: "If not to eat, just to kill it!"

"Are you sick?" Wang Meilan said angrily.

Zhao Youcai's momentum weakened instantly, but his eyes were still full of determination as he said: "Starting from my father's generation of siege fighters, no one can defeat the Pig God. My father met him once and didn't dare to attack. Dayong and I met. Once, I was shot and no hair was hit. This time... I have to do whatever I say."

Looking at his father's face and eyes, Zhao Jun understood that this was, at best, a gunner's pursuit. At worst, it's addictive.

Either to eat wild boar or to enjoy the game.

Don't think this is cruel. In this day and age, sparrows are still one of the four pests, and wild boars come down to the mountains in droves every year to harm crops.

During the three years when food was most difficult, no crops were harvested in the mountains. Wild boars and black pigs would come down from the mountains at night, causing harm to the farmers who already had little food.

At first it was organized by the Forestry Bureau, and later each village organized it voluntarily. Every time when corns were harvested, hunting teams would go into the mountains and sweep the forests around the villages in advance to drive away or kill wild boars and black bears.

Wang Meilan has been married to the Zhao family for more than 20 years, and has become accustomed to Zhao Youcai's hunting addiction.

As soon as she heard this, she knew that Zhao Youcai was addicted again. She also knew that she could not stop Zhao Youcai, but as long as he just went to fight in time for the New Year, she would let him go.

"Nephew." Suddenly, Li Dayong asked Zhao Jun: "I heard from Baoyu that you two want to go to Yaolu in spring?"

"That's right." Zhao Jun said, "Let's make more money. What are we doing here?"

Hearing this, Li Dayong tilted his head towards Zhao Youcai and said, "Brother, do you think this kid seems to be more sensible than us?"

Zhao Youcai laughed loudly and said to Zhao Jun: "Yaolu is different from others. You have to build a salt nest. You can't do it without someone who understands."

Li Dayong said: "I heard Baoyu say that they are looking for Big Crotch."

"Ah." Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "I remember it was Yaolu when his father was alive, right?"

"It's not bad." Li Dayong said with a smile: "That year, two deer were killed by poison at once, and his father couldn't carry it. The next day, he found several people to drag him up together. Who would have thought that the deer would be left to recruit the black blind man? Give it to them These people are easy to beat."

Zhao Youcai smiled, and after thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Jun: "As long as you are running in the mountains, no matter whether you are fighting or not, it is all about people being in harmony with each other and horses being in harmony with each other. Our family is going to treat you tomorrow. Why don't you show off your big crotch as well?" Call."

"Is this okay?" Zhao Jun turned around and looked at Wang Meilan.

Wang Meilan nodded and said, "Why not? It's not bad for the three members of their family."

"Then I'll tell them to go." Zhao Jun knew that his parents were helping him make friends, and Zhang Yuanmin was a kind-hearted man, so he got off the kang, put on his shoes and walked outside.

Their family is treating guests tomorrow, but there is no reason to notify the guests on the day of the treat. They must go in advance.

Zhao Jun left the house, went to the warehouse first, took two antlers, and went straight out of the courtyard to Zhang Yuanmin's house.

When approaching Zhang Yuanmin's house, Zhao Jun saw a man leaning out from the yard next to Zhang Yuanmin's house. When the man saw Zhao Jun, he immediately retracted into the yard.

Zhao Jun saw clearly that the man was Minister Li, but ignored him and came directly to the courtyard of Zhang Yuanmin's house. Seeing that the courtyard door was open and no one was in the courtyard, he walked directly in.

It is winter after all, and the windows and doors of the house are closed. If you stand outside and shout, the people inside can't hear you.

Zhao Jun came to the door of the room, stretched out his hand and patted the door twice. Then without waiting for anyone to come out, he opened the door and asked, "Is eldest brother at home?"

"Oh! Brother!" Zhang Yuanmin and Yang Yufeng were picking beans on the kang with their children. When they saw Zhao Jun coming, they immediately put down what they were doing and came out to welcome him.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Zhao Jun greeted.

Yang Yufeng said enthusiastically: "Brother, get on the kang quickly and I'll get you some water."

"Sister-in-law, don't bother me. I'll sit down for a while and then leave." Zhao Jun said politely.

Zhang Yuanmin pushed Zhao Jun into the house. When he lowered his head and saw the antlers in Zhao Jun's hand, he reached out and took it without asking any questions.

"Brother, is this the horn of that guy from the other day?"

"Yes." Zhao Jun said, "Isn't this why I want you to help me grind some antler keys?"

Zhang Yuanmin put down the antlers and asked Zhao Jun, "Do you really want to lift the mallet?"

"That's necessary." Zhao Jun said: "Otherwise, can you come and trouble big brother?"

"No trouble, we brothers won't talk about this." Zhang Yuanmin weighed the two antlers one by one and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, can you take one with me when you carry the ginseng?"

"Yes! What's not possible?"

When Zhang Yuanmin heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He knew how to medicine deer, but he couldn't get medicine beans. On weekdays, I can only earn some income by farming and collecting mountain products. The conditions at home are not very good, otherwise I would not have taken the risk to kill Heixiazicang twice.

Yang Yufeng came in with a jar and heard that Zhao Jun was willing to take Zhang Yuanmin to dig ginseng. She was very happy and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, don't leave for a while. Let's eat at home."

"No, sister-in-law, my mother is waiting for me at home." Zhao Jun declined politely, and then said: "It's the Chinese New Year, and my family will kill pigs tomorrow. Sister-in-law, you can take the children and come over with my elder brother."

When a pig is killed and treated to a treat, not just everyone is invited, but only relatives and friends. Sometimes the host comes to treat the guest. It is really not as simple as a meal, but friendship and face.

Although Zhao Youcai is just a cook and Wang Meilan is just a housewife, his family's status in the entire forest area is not low.

Being able to invite the Zhao family is something that Zhang Yuanmin and his wife would never dare to think about.

Therefore, Zhang Yuanmin and Yang Yufeng felt flattered at this time.

Zhang Yuanmin grabbed Zhao Jun's hand and said, "Brother, your sister-in-law and I will go there early tomorrow morning to help my old aunt with her work."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Zhao Jun chatted with Zhang Yuanmin for a few more words, then said goodbye and left.

After leaving Zhang's house, he walked home. When passing by a small shop, he met Xu Changlin who was taking his grandson to buy candy bars.

"Man, eat some candy." Xu Changlin picked up the paper bag containing the candy and said to Zhao Jun.

"If you don't want to eat it, give it to the child." Zhao Jun touched the child's head and asked Xu Changlin: "Mr. Xu, do you know how long it usually takes for the big pigs to break up the gang?"

More than a hundred pigs gather together, eating and chewing food all day long, which is a lot of consumption. Therefore, Zhao Jun guessed that the pig group would be broken up in a few days.

Xu Changlin shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. Maybe they gathered together yesterday and broke up today."

At this point, the old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Wouldn't it be better to break up the gang? Let's just fight the big one and nothing else."

"We..." Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, looked at the old man in surprise, and said with a smile: "What? Mr. Xu, do you really want to go?"

"Go!" Xu Changlin said: "When the New Year is over, I will go with you! I must do it this time."

As he spoke, the old man raised his head and looked at the mountains covered by heavy snow.

At the same time, Zhao Jun also looked towards the mountains. Although he did not speak a word, he silently said in his heart: "I didn't defeat it in my previous life, but I must do it in this life."
