The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Wang Meilan was a little confused. She had lived with Zhao Youcai for 25 years, and this was the first time she saw Zhao Youcai like this.

"Keep your voice down." Wang Meilan glanced at the west room. She thought Zhao Weipeng hadn't gotten up yet. When she looked at Zhao Youcai again, she saw that he still had his hands clasped in front of his chest. Wang Meilan couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. She didn't ask Zhao Youcai why he wanted money, but just said to him: "Wait, I'll get it for you."

Zhao Youcai put down his hands and stood there, nodding but not saying anything.

Wang Meilan went into the east room and came out with the money in less than two minutes. When she handed the money to Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan wanted to say something, but saw Zhao Youcai grabbing the money and walking out.

"I..." Wang Meilan chased to the door and saw the lights of the jeep outside the yard on.

Wang Meilan stopped and guessed that Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng were going up the mountain to compensate for the cow. As for asking her for 500 yuan, Wang Meilan thought they would each pay half.

Thinking of this, Wang Meilan turned around and ran into the house. She didn't want Zhao Weipeng, who was visiting her home, to pay the money.

Zhao Youcai went out and got in the car. The first thing he said while sitting in the passenger seat was: "Why is it so cold in this car?"

"It's cold outside, too, brother." Zhao Weipeng saw Zhao Youcai holding a stack of money in his hand, and handed over the money in his hand.

"Brother, this is five hundred, you... is that enough for you?" Zhao Weipeng asked, "If not, I still have more than a hundred in my pocket."

"Enough!" After Zhao Youcai took the money, he put the two stacks of money together and put them in his pocket, then raised his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go quickly, otherwise the two households will go down the mountain."

"Well!" Zhao Weipeng heard this and started the car and left.

These two people, one is a second-rate person and the other is a big boss, are not ordinary people. But Zhao Jun's words fooled them.

When Wang Meilan came out of the house with five hundred yuan, she couldn't even see the taillights of the car.

Zhao Jun slept really well this time, and slept until dawn without blocking his ears. The little lynx slept well too.

When it was past 4:30, the little lynx got up and teased the little black bear for a while, then jumped onto Zhao Jun's chest.

When it landed on Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun woke up in a daze. He reached out and pulled the little lynx off himself, and then he felt the little lynx jump out, and then the little guy started parkour on the kang.

"Oh my God!" Zhao Jun was startled instantly. He thought Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng were both there. If the little lynx ran like this, wouldn't they step on it?

But when Zhao Jun got up, he felt something was wrong. He reached out and turned on the light, and sure enough, he was the only one on the kang.

Zhao Jun was stunned. It was not surprising that Zhao Youcai got up early, but Zhao Weipeng shouldn't!

Zhao Jun hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the field. When he came out of the house, he saw only Wang Meilan. Zhao Jun hurriedly asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, where are my dad and his father?"

"It seems that they went up the mountain." Wang Meilan said.

"Going up the mountain?" Zhao Jun said: "Mom, why did you let them go up the mountain?"

"No." Wang Meilan laughed for a moment, and then said: "It seems that they went up the mountain to compensate for the cattle."

"Compensate for the cattle?" Zhao Jun subconsciously took two steps towards the door, and when he looked out the window, he saw that it was pitch black outside the house.

"Mom, how do you know they went to compensate the old cow?" Zhao Jun asked, "Could they have gone hunting again?"

"No way." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Your dad took 500 yuan from me and left. I guess they paid half of it."

"Ah..." Zhao Jun asked, "Mom, did my dad tell you that he wanted money to compensate the cow?"

"That's not what he said." Wang Meilan slowed down and murmured, "He just said he wanted 500 yuan."

"Mom, so you gave it to him?" Zhao Jun asked in surprise.

These days, 500 yuan is not a small amount. Even Zhao Jun, every time he went home to get money, Wang Meilan would give it to him, but Zhao Jun had to give a reason.

"Uh..." Wang Meilan blinked her eyes. She couldn't describe to her son how Zhao Youcai asked her for the money. She just said, "I thought he might want to compensate someone for the cow, so I gave it to him."

At this point, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun, "Why else would he go out so early to ask for money?"

"Oh!" Zhao Jun sighed and said, "They are useless. If they had to take the blame, why did I take the blame for them yesterday?"

"Son, what happened?" Wang Meilan was busy cooperating with Zhao Jun last night. She still didn't know what happened, but she believed that her son could handle these things.

Zhao Jun pulled a small stool over and sat down, and told Wang Meilan everything that happened yesterday.

After listening to this, Wang Meilan slapped Zhao Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid, why are you so stupid?"

"Hahaha..." Zhao Jun laughed and said: "I was so angry yesterday. How could they be like this? After beating the cow, they ran away."

"Okay." Wang Meilan smiled and waved her hands, saying: "These two people are quite kind. I saw yesterday that when you said to chase them away, your father's eyes were clacking, clacking, and he was not thinking about it."

"Oh, mom, don't protect him." Zhao Jun grinned and spread his hands and said: "My uncle Zhao's gun skills... I dare say that it was my father who killed the old cow alone, and then he was responsible for kicking the pole and jumping into the garden."

"Haha..." Wang Meilan also laughed, and then said: "Son, you can't say that. I know your father. Your father ran away, but he will definitely give the money to others later."

As she spoke, Wang Meilan stood up from the four-legged stool and prepared to knead the dough, saying: "He stole wild boars from others. That is mountain wealth. The old generation said that at most it was not particular. But he couldn't steal old cows or something like that."

At this point, Wang Meilan gestured outside the house and said to Zhao Jun with a smile: "After what you said last night, they felt uncomfortable and got up early to give money to others. They are also good people."

Hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun smiled.

At the same time, the two good people had already arrived outside the 27th leng field in a jeep.

Although it was only 4:30, there were lights everywhere in the leng field. There was no electricity in the mountains, but lanterns were hung in front of the shacks and outside the barns. Under the lights, there were still figures walking back and forth.

"Brother!" Zhao Weipeng asked Zhao Youcai with a little surprise: "These people got up so early?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Youcai pushed the door and got out of the car, and said to Zhao Weipeng: "They have to get up at two o'clock in the morning to feed the livestock."

"Oh." Zhao Weipeng sighed and said: "It's really hard work."

"Bang! Bang!" After two car door slamming, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng walked into Lengchang.

In front of a livestock shed on the east side of Lengchang, the livestock feeder saw two strangers coming and shouted from a distance: "Hey? What are you doing?"

Zhao Youcai did not answer but asked: "Which one is your head shed?"

When Zhao Youcai said this, Fan Tiangui, who was kneading steamed bread in the cook's shed on the west side, heard the voice. The old man was stunned and murmured: "Who is talking? Why does it sound so familiar?"

Thinking of this, Fan Tiangui hurriedly pushed the door and walked out.

When he went out, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng were walking towards the head shed in the southwest corner with their backs to him.

Fan Tiangui followed two steps forward, and when Zhao Youcai looked to the side, he happened to show his side profile to Fan Tiangui.

With the help of the lantern in front of the head shack, Fan Tiangui was frightened and said to himself: "It's over! Ergudong is here to settle accounts with me!"

The day before yesterday, the old man betrayed Zhao Jun. After Zhao Jun left yesterday, Fan Tiangui found Tang Xiaomin to ask about the situation.

Tang Xiaomin told Fan Tiangui according to what Fan Zhisheng had said. After learning that the cow did not die under Zhao Jun's gun, Fan Tiangui felt uneasy.

The old man knew that he had offended someone, but there was nothing he could do at the beginning. He had to side with whoever he ate. He worked for Tang Xiaomin and had no choice.

Looking at Zhao Youcai at this time, Fan Tiangui's first reaction was: Ergudong came to seek justice for his son. Seeing that he brought a fat man with him, he must be a thug.

Fan Tiangui turned around and ran to the cook's shack, and at this time Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng had pushed the door and entered the head shack.

In the shack of the headman, Tang Xiaomin, Tang Fuxiang, and Tang Yunwei, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, were eating a small meal.

The three of them cooked a pot of hot soup noodles in the stove in the shack. Tang Xiaomin just slurped a mouthful of noodles when he saw the door of the shack open and a stranger came in.

"Ouch." Tang Fuxiang frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"Are you the headman?" Zhao Youcai asked back without answering. Tang Fuxiang subconsciously glanced at Tang Xiaomin, and the old man looked up and said, "I am the headman, who are you?"

"That..." Zhao Youcai walked forward and said, "We are from Lingnan."

Zhao Youcai is very bad when he is bad, and he is really simple when he is simple. He believed whatever Zhao Jun said when he went back yesterday.

"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai's words startled the three grandparents and grandchildren of the Tang family. Tang Fuxiang moved his legs sideways and asked, "Did you go to Mount Mada?"

The place where Zhao Jun lived was called Shibadaogangzi by the people of Lingnan. It was a good place for hunting. Many people from Lingnan came here to hunt and set traps. Sometimes when they got lost in the mountains and were starving and cold, they would go to a nearby shack to rest and eat a hot meal.

Whether it was now or in 20 or 30 years, the Chinese were simple and honest. When they encountered such a thing, everyone would lend a helping hand.

"No." Zhao Youcai took out Shilin cigarettes from his pocket, smoked two at a time, and took a few steps to hand one to the oldest Tang Xiaomin.

Tang Xiaomin took the cigarette, took it in his hand and looked at it, and immediately looked at Zhao Youcai.

At this time, with the weak light in the shack, Tang Xiaomin saw Zhao Youcai's appearance clearly.

Zhao Weipeng didn't need to look, his big body was obvious.

Two people, a small-eyed man, a fat man, and Shi Linyan, aren't they a match?

"Ahem!" After distributing cigarettes to the three people from the Tang family, Zhao Youcai pointed awkwardly at the dead blue cow by the fire wall, and then said: "This cow was killed by our two brothers."

When he said this, Zhao Youcai's face was hot.

Yesterday, Zhao Jun had explained that the cow should be dragged into the shack to rest. The buyer had spoken, and Tang Xiaomin did not dare to neglect it. As soon as Zhao Jun and his men left, he asked his children and grandchildren and the brothers of the Lin family to drag the cow into the shack.

At first, he wanted to drag it to the cook's shack, but Tang Xiaomin thought about it and was afraid that Fan Tiangui would ask more questions. He didn't want to explain too much to him, so he dragged the cow into the shack where he lived.

After resting under the fire wall for a day and a night, the big blue cow was almost thawed, and a pool of blood under its body soaked into the soil.

"You two killed it?" After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Tang Xiaomin and his son Tang Fuxiang looked at each other, and the father and son felt something was wrong.

Yesterday, we said the bull-beaters were from Lingnan, that was to give both sides a way out. No matter what was said in the end, everyone present yesterday believed that the bull-beaters were related to Zhao Jun.

No matter if it was one person or two people who beat the bull, if it had not been Zhao Jun's business, he would not have used his own money to fill it.

That's not what a good person would do, right?

But the two people who came today opened their mouths and said that they shot the cow and that it came from Lingnan, which gave people a strange feeling.

At this time, Zhao Youcai took out a wad of money from his pocket, put it on the corner of the kang table, and said to the three of them: "This is cow money, that..."

"Ah!" Tang Xiaomin seemed to suddenly realize it, and immediately slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Technician Zhao asked you to come, right?"

Zhao Jun said yesterday that he didn't bring any money. He also said that he was not free this morning and would have to come over with money to take the cattle away in the afternoon.

At this time, seeing Zhao Youcai come up and pay without saying a word, Tang Xiaomin thought that these two men were sent by Zhao Jun to deliver money and get cattle. As for them saying that they were from Lingnan, Tang Xiaomin believed that they were following Fan Zhisheng's words.

"Huh? Technician Zhao?" Zhao Youcai was startled. He felt something was wrong. He felt that this group of people did not seem to have had a conflict with Zhao Jun.

Seeing that Zhao Youcai was silent, Tang Xiaomin called them: "Come, come, get on the Kang."

At this time, Tang Fuxiang and Tang Yunwei also made room for Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng. Tang Fuxiang even asked: "You guys came so early and haven't eaten yet? What about...I'll get you a bowl, and you can take a bite here."

As Tang Fuxiang said that, he got up and walked out. The three of them lived in this shack, and they had plenty of bowls and chopsticks. When entertaining guests, they had to go to the cook's shack to get bowls and chopsticks.

Almost at the same time, Tang Xiaomin took the one thousand yuan that Zhao Youcai put on the corner of the table. The old man held the money in his hand, waved his hand to Tang Yunwei, and said: "Grandson, go call Dalong and Erhu. Come and go.”

Tang Yunwei responded, then smiled at Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng, pushed his bowl of chopsticks in front of Zhao Weipeng, and said: "Please give me this first, I haven't used it before."

"Hey!" Zhao Weipeng responded with a smile. As soon as the old man asked Tang Yunwei to find someone, Zhao Weipeng knew that the owner of the cow had not come down from the mountain yet, and the guilt in his heart was instantly reduced by half.

It was a good thing that he didn't have to worry about getting up early. After driving up the mountain, Zhao Weipeng was cold and hungry. When he saw the hot soup noodles, Boss Zhao only waited for Tang Xiaomin to persuade him, and he immediately started making it.

But at this moment, Tang Xiaomin pointed to the fire wall and said to the two of them: "Technician Zhao asked us to drag the cows to the house. I think it's almost done."

"Huh?" At this time, Zhao Youcai knew something was wrong. From what the old man meant, it definitely didn't sound like he had had a conflict with his little brat.

"Hey?" Zhao Weipeng glanced at Tang Xiaomin, then looked at Zhao Youcai, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, who is technician Zhao?"

Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, Tang Xiaomin said, "Zhao Jun, don't you know him?"

The old man was a little confused. He had been the squad leader for more than ten years and the brigade secretary for more than ten years. He couldn't figure it out at this time.

"Brother." Zhao Youcai asked Tang Xiaomin, "Yesterday he... what did they say?"

"They..." Tang Xiaomin took a deep look at Zhao Youcai. He probably guessed that Zhao Jun was going to take the blame for these two people. The old man was more thoughtful and wanted to do enough favors for Zhao Jun.

So Tang Xiaomin told the truth to the two of them, saying: "At the beginning yesterday, technician Zhao said that he shot the cow, and he would pay the thousand yuan as compensation. But later, Zhisheng... was the director of the field. Don't let people say that. Just say to the outside world that it was people from Lingnan who attacked us.

After all, technician Zhao still paid for the money. But he didn’t bring that much money when he went up the mountain yesterday, so he said he would come this afternoon and even give money to pull the cow..."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Zhao Weipeng's fat face was full of shock. He tilted his head and looked at Tang Xiaomin and asked, "Where are the two tenants? It's the owner of the cow."

"They are lying in the shack." Tang Xiaomin said with a smile: "The cow is dead, these two people will not survive today."

"Then aren't they going down the mountain today?" Zhao Weipeng asked again, and Tang Xiaomin said, "They have to go down the mountain."

With that said, Tang Xiaomin raised the money in his hand and said with a smile: "Technician Zhao said he would come in the afternoon to deliver the money, so they have to go back tomorrow. You two have delivered it now, so they can go back today."

After hearing what Tang Xiaomin said, Zhao Weipeng looked at Zhao Youcai, and then heard Tang Xiaomin continue: "Let them go back quickly and come back after buying a cow. There is still a lot of work up there."

Zhao Weipeng: "..."

Seeing that Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng were silent, Tang Xiaomin once again pointed to the cow by the fire wall and asked Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng, "Will you take that cow away later?"

"No, no." Zhao Weipeng refused quickly. When he came, Zhao Youcai told him that after buying the cow, he would drag it to a hidden place and bury it in the snow. Then go back to Zhang Lifu and ask Zhang Lifu to help sell beef.

"Brother, that... we can't do it now." Zhao Weipeng said, "Our car can't pull it."

"Ah!" Tang Xiaomin seemed to understand. He said, "That's okay. I'll find a sledge to send you down."

"No... no need!" At this time, Zhao Youcai was a little anxious, but Tang Xiaomin asked: "It's okay, it's not troublesome. Well... where is your house? Are you in the same village as technician Zhao?"

At this point, Tang Xiaomin raised his hand and pointed outside the shack and said, "By the way, our stove burner Fan Tiangui, do you know him?"

Hearing what Tang Xiaomin said, Zhao Youcai's expression changed, and then he saw the old man getting off the kang and saying, "Don't be outsiders. You two eat first, and I'll call him."

As he said that, Tang Xiaomin went to the ground and muttered: "Why hasn't Fuxiang come back yet?"

Seeing Tang Xiaomin leave the shack, Zhao Youcai snatched the bowl and chopsticks from Zhao Weipeng's hand and pulled the cotton jacket on him hard... but it didn't move.

"Let's go!" Zhao Youcai shouted at Zhao Weipeng in a low voice: "What are you looking at?"

"Ah..." Zhao Weipeng reacted, got up and ran out with Zhao Youcai.
