The whole mountain is my hunting ground

While the Zhao family was planning to start a career, the Li family next door was engaging in internal strife.

In the west room of the Li family, Li Ruhai looked at Li Baoyu who rolled up his quilt, mattress, and pillow with an aggrieved look, and said, "Brother, we are brothers!"

Li Baoyu picked up Li Ruhai, took a deep look at Li Ruhai, and then walked out of the room without looking back.

According to Jin Xiaomei, their family will impose sanctions on Li Ruhai for a week.

Sanctions are divided into economic sanctions and spiritual sanctions. Economic sanctions are to confiscate all of Li Ruhai's illegal income, and spiritual sanctions are to ignore this kid.

Looking at the closed door, Li Ruhai sighed softly and took the little book on the kang cabinet. But the next second, the lights in the room went out.

In the outhouse, Jin Xiaomei, who had just turned off the electric switch, went back to the east room with a flashlight.

…

The next day, Monday, December 21, 1987.

Zhao Youcai got up from the kang early. When he came out of the house, Wang Meilan was picking cabbage in the outer room.

Seeing Zhao Youcai coming out, Wang Meilan asked, "Why did you get up so early?"

"Listen!" Zhao Youcai gestured to the west room and said, "That brother snores."

After saying this, Zhao Youcai turned to look at the door of the west room and murmured: "Hey? How did the boy sleep?"

"He plugged his ears." Wang Meilan answered for Zhao Jun and said, "He plugged his ears with toilet paper."

"This little brat!" Zhao Youcai said angrily: "He stuffed it and he didn't tell me."

Wang Meilan smiled when she heard this and continued to pick the yellow leaves outside the cabbage. At this time, Zhao Youcai walked up to her and squatted down, smiling apologetically and saying, "Lan Na, what are you going to do for breakfast? How about I cook it?"

Wang Meilan tilted her head and glanced sideways at Zhao Youcai, then said: "Stewed cabbage and vermicelli."

With that said, Wang Meilan put down the cabbage, stood up and said, "Then let's do it."

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai didn't expect Wang Meilan to agree so readily. At this moment, Wang Meilan stood up and said to Zhao Youcai, "Cut some of the three-layered meat and put it in."

With that said, Wang Meilan opened the door and walked out.

"Lan Na." Zhao Youcai asked, "It's very cold outside, what are you doing?"

"There are enough potatoes in the cellar!" Wang Meilan said, "Aren't you allowed to feed the dogs?"

"Lan, don't go out." Zhao Youcai said, "I'll fix it later."

Wang Meilan felt that the old boy didn't hold in his fart well, but she ignored him, closed the door and walked to the dish rack.

In front of the dish rack, Wang Meilan took a basin to hold soybeans, probably preparing to go to the tofu shop to exchange for tofu or dried tofu.

Zhao Youcai was afraid that Wang Meilan would run away, so he came over and said, "Lan Na."

"What's going on? Hurry up and tell me." Wang Meilan urged, rolling her eyes at Zhao Youcai.

"It's nothing." Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "It's just that awesome money..."

"There's no rush." ​​Wang Meilan interrupted Zhao Youcai and said, "You can give me whatever you want."

"No..." Zhao Youcai snatched the basin of soybeans from Wang Meilan's hand and said, "Lan Na, do you still want that cow...money?"

For the cow he killed two days ago, Wang Meilan gave Zhao Youcai money twice, once for five hundred and twice for one thousand.

"Nonsense! Why don't I want it?" Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai, curled her lips again, and said, "Just give me another five hundred yuan. I don't want the other five hundred yuan. After that, I will consider it as my purchase of the cow. Everyone eats.”

"Then..." Zhao Youcai said, "Lan Na, I bought the cow for a thousand dollars."

"You are paying for the live cow price." Wang Meilan said: "I bought a dead cow, can I still get the same price?"

As she said this, Wang Meilan snatched back the small basin of soybeans and said angrily: "I haven't settled the score with you two since I've had guests in my house for the past two days, so just calm down and let me squint."

When Zhao Youcai heard this, he glanced at Wang Meilan.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Meilan said rudely: "I won't let you go up the mountain, you have to squeak. Are you going to squeak this time? Another old cow has been killed."

Zhao Youcai curled up his lips and sat back in front of the stove to put away the cabbage.

Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai, then carried the basin and went out to change the dried tofu.

"Alas!" After Wang Meilan left, Zhao Youcai threw the cabbage on the ground and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Zhao Youcai also felt that his life was too weak. He went to the mountain a week ago and almost didn't come back. Three days ago I went up the mountain again, and when I got there I was beaten to death by someone else.

With great melancholy, Zhao Youcai finished his breakfast. Seeing that Zhao Youcai was unhappy, Zhao Weipeng handed him a cigarette and asked, "What's wrong, brother? Are you feeling unhappy?"

"It's okay, brother." As soon as Zhao Youcai responded, Zhao Jun came in from the outhouse and asked Zhao Weipeng, "Uncle, I'm going up the mountain to catch someone today, are you going?"

"I won't go." Zhao Weipeng refused Zhao Jun's proposal to go up the mountain without thinking. If he wanted to hunt animals in the mountain, Zhao Weipeng would definitely go. But running around and climbing over mountains and ridges were not exciting enough, so Zhao Weipeng didn't want to go.

"Then let's go." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Uncle, if you don't want to go, you can wait until we catch the live roe deer and then you can take pictures."

"Okay." Zhao Weipeng agreed and leaned against the kang cabinet, feeling the warmth of the small fire kang. Boss Zhao's eyes were a little dazed, he must be sleepy again.

Just then, the dog outside the house barked.

Zhao Youcai stretched his neck and looked out the window, then quickly got off the ground, kicked off his shoes and walked out.

Zhang Lifu is here.

Zhao Youcai ran out in a hurry. As soon as he arrived outside the hospital, he heard Zhang Lifu say: "Second brother, did I go up yesterday? When I asked at the farm, they said that they had let them pull down the cattle."

"Don't make a noise." Zhao Youcai was afraid that the neighbors would hear him, so he pulled Zhang Lifefu to the yard.

"I'm not going in." Zhang Lifefu lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I tell you that day? Your brother and sister-in-law and I set up a bed at the market, and I came to ask you, are you going to sell the beef? If you want to, we'll help you sell it."

"No need, brother." Zhao Youcai said, "It's all sold."

As he said that, Zhao Youcai took out a cigarette and gave it to Zhang Lifefu.

After lighting the cigarette, Zhang Lifefu looked around and said to Zhao Youcai, "Second brother, I didn't go to the mountain in vain yesterday. I found a black bear warehouse."

"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again. When he asked Wang Meilan for money yesterday, Zhao Youcai said in person that he would not hunt from now on.

Zhao Baotou has many shortcomings, but he has to admit what he said.

At this time, Zhang Lifeu noticed something was wrong with Zhao Youcai. In the past, when he sent this kind of news to Zhao Youcai, Zhao Youcai would be quite excited. But today, Zhao Youcai was unusually calm.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Lifeu asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Zhao Youcai said, "Where is the black bear warehouse?"

"Just come out of the 27th floor and go to the 28th floor." Zhang Lifeu said, "Isn't there a bridge? On the small fork to the west of the bridge, there is a big linden tree. I went over to take a look, and the door of the warehouse was covered with frost."

"Okay, I know." Zhao Youcai remembered the location, then nodded and said, "I'll ask your nephew to go and find it. If he finds it, it must be yours. It's almost there."

"Second brother, what else is there to say?" Zhang Lifeu smiled and took a puff of cigarette, but thinking of what Zhao Youcai said just now, Zhang Lifeu felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly: "Second brother, you're not going?"

"I'm not going." Zhao Youcai sighed and said: "Let the child go."

After seeing Zhang Lifeu off, Zhao Youcai walked into the house and saw Zhao Jun sitting on the edge of the kang to tie his leggings and Zhao Weipeng leaning on the kang cabinet in a daze. Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Jun: "Your Uncle Zhang just came."

Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai, and Zhao Weipeng slightly raised his eyelids. Then, Zhao Youcai said, "He said there is a warehouse for black bears, and asked you to go and dig it out."

"Black bear warehouse." Zhao Weipeng sat up all of a sudden, and then asked Zhao Youcai, "Brother, where is it?"

"In our..." Zhao Youcai paused for a moment. He wanted to say that we went to the ridge yesterday, but he stopped talking in time and said, "Out of the 27 ridge, there is a cement bridge built for the railway track. Go west of the bridge and there is a small fork. It is said that there is a big linden tree on the fork, and the black bears are squatting in the warehouse inside."

Zhao Youcai explained it in detail, and Zhao Weipeng, an outsider, understood it. At this time, Zhao Jun, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, and Wang Meilan, who was in the outer room, looked at Zhao Youcai.

Then, Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Weipeng, "Your nephew is going, so you can follow him."

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai said this, Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, and Zhao Weipeng were all stunned.

"Brother!" Zhao Weipeng asked Zhao Youcai, "Aren't you going?"

"I'm not going." Zhao Youcai sat down on the edge of the kang and said, "I'll stay at home for two more days, and then I'll go back to work."

Hearing him say that, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan couldn't believe it. Although Wang Meilan strictly ordered Zhao Youcai not to go up the mountain, Zhao Weipeng was a guest today, and if Zhao Youcai wanted to go out for a stroll with Zhao Weipeng, Wang Meilan couldn't stop him.

Zhao Weipeng didn't think much about it, put on his leggings and followed Zhao Jun out.

Seeing Zhao Jun carrying a gun and wearing clothes for going up the mountain, the dogs in the Zhao family yard instantly became a mess.

When the dogs barked, Zhao Youcai was startled and couldn't help looking out the window.

At this time, Zhao Weipeng watched the hunting dogs being released by Zhao Jun, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited, and the flesh on his fat face trembled.

Black Tiger, Yellow Dragon, Blue Dragon, Black Dragon, White Dragon, Erhei, Xiaohua, and Green Tiger, eight dogs gathered at the Jiefang car outside the yard, waiting for Zhao Jun to put down the barrier, and then they rushed to the back of the car.

The hunting dogs were familiar with this after taking the car to the mountains for hunting for a long time. Zhao Weipeng, who saw this scene, was a little surprised and asked Zhao Jun: "Nephew, don't you and Baoyu have dogs in the yard? Why don't you lead them all?"

Whether it is the red bitch or the three dogs sent back by the Yongxing Brigade, they have been home for a while, and they are all familiar with them and can be taken out to the mountains.

It's just that today is to hunt bears, and Zhao Jun only brings elite soldiers for safety. As for the four dogs, Zhao Jun thought he would wait until the second batch of armor is ready before taking them up the mountain.

There weren't so many cowhides before, and it was impossible to guarantee that all dogs had armor to wear. But now, there is another big cowhide.

When this piece of cowhide is made into armor, not only will every hunting dog in the family have a share, but there may even be some left over.

Just before Zhao Jun got on the car, Li Baoyu ran out of the Li family's house and shouted, "Brother, don't you take Niuniu with you?"

"No." Zhao Jun responded, "Why take it with you?"

"Take it with you, it won't work." Li Baoyu ran to the gate of the courtyard and shouted to Zhao Jun, "It keeps grumbling behind you every day, why don't you take it up the mountain for a run?"
