The whole mountain is my hunting ground

After leaving home, Xing Zhiyong ran all the way to Li Hu's house.

Li Hu didn't expect that as soon as he arrived home, Xing Zhiyong would come back. When Xing Zhiyong told him his purpose, Li Hu couldn't sit still and quickly went to pick up the gun.

"Brothers and sisters!" At this time, Xing Zhiyong called Li Hu's wife, who was clearing the dish racks in the outer room, and said, "Do you have any dry food at home? We are going up the mountain. You can get us some dry food."

Li Hu's wife, who was working, rolled her eyes, but her tone was as normal as usual: "Brother, there is nothing left at home. Yesterday there were two pieces of corn noodle cakes left. Today, he and his father ate them all in the morning. I just drank them." "Bao rice noodle porridge."

"Ah..." Hearing this, Xing Zhiyong turned to look at Li Hu and said, "Then what should we do?"

"What else are you doing?" Li Hu said, "We will go to the small shop later and buy some bald pancakes for the family to eat."

"That's okay." Xing Zhiyong said and stood up, and the two of them walked out with their guns on their backs. After leaving the yard, we went to the small shop in Tuntun.

As they walked, the two of them talked, and Li Hu asked Xing Zhiyong, "How many bald pancakes can you eat?"

"I have five." After Xing Zhiyong finished speaking, Li Hu nodded and said, "I also have five."

With that said, Li Hu looked at Xing Zhiyong's waist and asked, "Do you have any money?"

"No." Xing Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I came out in a hurry, so why don't you bring any money?"

"Ah..." Li Hu subconsciously put his hand on his right trouser pocket and said, "Didn't I just remember it?"

"Then you go home and get (qiǔ)." Xing Zhiyong stopped, waved sideways in the direction of Li Hu's house, asking Li Hu to go home, and said: "I just came out, it's close to your home."

"Oh! Pull it down." Li Hu shook his head when he heard this and said, "What's the fuss about? We can just go to the small shop to keep accounts and be done with it."

Xing Zhiyong was about to ask Li Hu whose name the account was kept, but he heard someone shouting: "Old Li, the third boy! Old Xing, the big boy!"

"Yo!" Li Hu followed the sound and saw an old man coming from the south.

"Uncle Xu." Xing and Li greeted the old man. The old man's name was Xu Guangfu, and they were uncles and brothers to Xu Guangyi, the bone-setting doctor in Zhao Jun's camp.

"Are you two carrying guns and going up the mountain?" Xu Guangfu asked, "Are you going to surround us?"

"Ah, strolling, strolling." Li Hu was afraid that the old man would care about his request for meat, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Has Uncle Xu finished eating?"

"It's done." Xu Guangfu raised his finger and pointed at the No. 16 shotgun behind Li Hu, and said, "Looking at you two carrying the guns, I remembered something."

As he said that, the old man straightened his body slightly and said to the two of them: "I know a black blind warehouse, do you two dare to dig into it?"

"Yeah!"

"Can you two do it?" Xu Guangfu asked, and Xing Zhiyong puffed up his chest and said, "Okay, we have two guns."

Xing Zhiyong had a good idea. He thought that if the black blind warehouse was easy to dig, he and Li Hu would dig it; if it was not easy to dig, he would find Zhao Jun in a few days and dig both warehouses together. .

"Where are they, Uncle Xu?" Li Hu also chased after Xu Guangfu and asked, the black blind man is brave and rich, and there is a lot of money.

"Man, do you remember?" Xu Guangfu asked Li Hu, "Just one year, your father, I, and you, we will plant branches together in that place."

"Ah, ah!" Li Hu knew where it was as soon as he heard it, and nodded repeatedly: "That's not..."

As he said that, Li Hu was stunned. The place Xu Guangfu was talking about was not far from the dicangzi they knew. For a moment, Li Hu thought, could it be that what the old man said was the same as what he knew?

"That's the top of the mountain." Xu Guangfu didn't know what Li Hu was thinking, so he just said: "On that slope facing the south, if you go down to the second side of the mountain, you two will know it at a glance. Because on that slope, those two big The two big linden trees are so thick, it's so hard for both of them to hold them. There is a barn door four or five meters above the ground."

"Ah, Tiancangzi!" Xing Zhiyong and Li Hu were both overjoyed when they heard this.

The warehouse Xu Guangfu was talking about was not the one they knew. In this way, they can kill one more bear bile.

Furthermore, Tiancangzi is easier to kill than Dicangzi.

Even if it is awakened by someone, the bear does not just jump out of the tree barn. It has to get down from the tree. At this time, people have the opportunity to shoot.

But this is not the case in Dicangzi. The door of the barn is large, and bears will jump out directly in front of the door, which puts hunters in danger.

This is also the reason why Xing and Li asked Zhao Jun to kill Cangzi together.

But if it was Tiancangzi, they could kill him with two guns, so they would share the bear bile equally.

"Uncle Xu." Xing Zhiyong confirmed with Xu Guangfu and asked, "Are you sure there is a black blind man living there?"

"Then I'm not sure." Xu Guangfu shook his head and said, "I was a child before autumn, and your aunt and I went up to pick up Schisandra chinensis and looked at such a barn. At that time, I saw that the trees were all covered with claw marks scratched by the black blind man. Just cleaning up the warehouse?"

At this point, the old man paused for a moment, and then added: "Anyway, I told you two, you can go if you want to go, if you don't want to go, don't go."

"Ah..." Xing Zhiyong and Li Hu looked at each other. They both wanted to find out. Anyway, they just stopped by. It would be great if they could kill a blind man.

"Uncle Xu, let's go and take a look." Xing Zhiyong smiled at Xu Guangfu, and Xu Guangfu smiled and said: "Go, go get some treatment, come back and get me some meat."

"Don't worry." Xing Zhiyong said with a smile: "If you knock down the black bear, you can eat the meat as you like."

"Don't you have enough bullets?" Xu Guangfu asked the two men: "Fighting the black bear is not like other things. You two have to carry this No. 16 and take care of the only son."

"We know that." Xing Zhiyong said, looking at Li Hu, and said: "It's very time-consuming to call the warehouse."

"Oh, we can't call without guns." Li Hu said: "Let's take a big stick and hit the tree."

"Come on, man." Xu Guangfu heard it and hurriedly stopped Li Hu and said: "The black bear was sleeping soundly before. If you don't put down the gun and just hit it with a stick, the black bear will not wake up."

"What should we do?" Li Hu rolled his eyes, grabbed the bullet bag tied to his waistband, and said to Xing Zhiyong: "My family has only these only sons, your family Is there any more?"

"I...I don't have any at home either." As soon as Xing Zhiyong said this, Xu Guangfu stopped them and said, "Okay, okay, stop shouting, go home and get a curved-handled saw. Make a hole in the tree bin, and then poke the knife into it. The black bear will feel pain and come out, right?"

"Hey?" Xing Zhiyong smiled and said to Xu Guangfu, "Don't say that, Uncle Xu, you are a good old man!"

"Hey!" Xu Guangfu smiled and said, "Don't underestimate your uncle, I also ran through the mountains when I was young."

Xing Zhiyong smiled when he heard this, and at this time Li Hu asked the old man, "Uncle Xu, don't you have a curved-handled saw at home?"

"Huh?" Xu Guangfu was stunned and asked Li Hu, "You don't even have a saw at home?"

Living in the forest area, who can't have a saw?

"Yes, but not very fast." Li Hu said, "It's hard to pull the big linden tree up the mountain."

Although there is an empty bucket in the middle of the linden tree, it doesn't prevent it from being alive. The trunk of a living tree has moisture, and it is difficult to cut it down in winter when it freezes.

"Ah, okay." Xu Guangfu didn't think much about it, and waved to the two of them, saying, "Let's go, to my house."

The three of them walked towards Xu's house, and Xing Zhiyong cast an inquiring look at Li Hu. Xing Zhiyong didn't understand, can you still saw down the old man's house?

Meeting Xing Zhiyong's eyes, Li Hu smiled but said nothing. When they arrived at Xu Guangfu's house, Xu Guangfu took out a curved-handled saw from the warehouse and handed it to Li Hu, and told him: "Take it and use it. Remember to send it back to me after you use it!"

"Oh, I know, Uncle Xu." Li Hu took the saw, smiled at the old man, and asked: "Uncle Xu, do you have any dry food at home?"

"Huh?" Xu Guangfu was stunned, and the old man was a little confused, and then he heard Li Hu say: "I just remembered that my brother and I were busy outside, and we didn't take any dry food. What do you think..."

"Ah..." Xu Guangfu blinked twice and asked: "How about big pancakes?"

"Okay!" Li Hu smiled and said: "As long as there is something to eat, we brothers are not picky."

"Then...then come in?" Xu Guangfu invited the two to come in, but Li Hu refused and said: "Uncle Xu, we won't go in, you just go in and get us a few."

"Then you wait." Xu Guangfu turned and walked into the house, and Xing Zhiyong in the yard cast an admiring look at Li Hu.

…

Yongli Village, in front of the Zhang family courtyard.

“Go back, auntie.” Zhao Jun waved at a woman and said, “Don’t send me off, hurry up and go home.”

The woman was Zhang Guoqing’s wife. Zhang Guoqing and Zhao Youcai had worked together for many years. The two families didn’t visit each other often, but they knew each other.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Xu Guilan said, “Xiao, drive slowly.”

Zhao Jun agreed and got in the car with Jie Chen and left.

The car started and drove away slowly.

It was only a little after eight o’clock. The two of them were going back to Yong’an to pick up Wang Qiang and the hunting dog, and then they would take the pig hook and continue to catch wild boars in the mountains.

As soon as they entered the village, Jie Chen pointed at the front windshield and shouted to Zhao Jun, “Brother Jun, look!”

Zhao Jun looked up and saw black smoke rising from his own direction.

Immediately afterwards, Jie Chen stepped on the accelerator and the car speed soared.

"Slow down." Zhao Jun stopped him, "Don't drive so fast in the village."

When Zhao Jun arrived home, the earthen stove in the yard was smoking. Wang Qiang, who was making a fire, saw the car coming back and hurriedly got up to greet it at the door.

Seeing Zhao Jun get off the car, Wang Qiang asked, "Nephew, are you going?"

"Let's go, uncle." As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Wang Qiang turned around and ran into the house.

Zhao Jun and Jie Chen got off the car and went into the house to prepare to put on leggings. As soon as they entered the house, they saw a group of people busy in the outer room.

Two tables were set up in the outer room, and there was only a small path around the table for one person to pass sideways.

There were large and small basins on one table. Zhao Jun walked over and saw that there were vermicelli, fungus, fern, monkey legs, red mushrooms, Yuan mushrooms and other dried vegetables soaked in the basin.

On another table, the skinned roe deer lay flat, and Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei each took a knife to cut and remove the meat of the roe deer.

"Son!" Wang Meilan asked when Zhao Jun came back, "Did you send them all?"

"Yes, I did." Zhao Jun smiled and said to Wang Meilan, "It's just that I went there so suddenly that I didn't collect the money."

"That's okay." Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "They are all fine."

"Mom." Zhao Jun asked Wang Meilan in confusion, "Why are you preparing so early?"

It was only nine o'clock and they were preparing dinner.

"Just prepare everything that needs to be prepared." Wang Meilan cut off a piece of roe deer leg meat, threw it on the chopping board next to her, and said, "Look how good this meat is."

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, went back to the west room to put on leg wraps, put on a hunting rifle, and put on a bag. After Wang Qiang and Jie Chen came out of the room, the three of them took the dog into the car, left Yong'an, and went into the mountains.

At the same time, in a canteen, the men in the kitchen were kneading dough and making steamed buns, and the women who were helping were picking and washing vegetables. Only Zhao Youcai was sitting on a long bench in front of the window, quietly smoking a Shilin cigarette.

Suddenly, a person appeared in Zhao Youcai's sight. Zhao Youcai lowered his head slightly, and after seeing the person's appearance clearly, he stood up and walked out.

When Zhao Youcai walked out of the kitchen and came to the canteen hall, the canteen director Zhang Guoqing just came in from outside.

"Guoqing!" Zhao Youcai greeted Zhang Guoqing and said, "The wild boar was sent to you."

"What?" Zhang Guoqing was startled when he heard it, and then said, "I want it alive! I don't want it dead!"

Zhang Guoqing couldn't believe it. He told Zhao Youcai yesterday that the live wild boar was sent to his home today?

"It's alive!" Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said, "One hundred and fifty or sixty kilograms weighs a year, and the meat is very fragrant."

"Really? Fake?" Zhang Guoqing still didn't believe it. Zhao Youcai pinched Zhang Guoqing with his eyelids and said, "You will know when you go back. Bring me the money tomorrow."

"Oh, that's fine." Zhang Guoqing believed what Zhao Youcai said. He walked to Zhao Youcai's side, poked Zhao Youcai's left rib with his finger, and said with a smile: "Youcai, I found that you really do things!"

"Then you see!" Zhao Youcai whispered: "I asked others to wait, but you arranged it first."

Zhang Guoqing smiled, but heard Zhao Youcai continue to say: "Hurry up and scratch it, so that you can take over my job as a brother-in-law."

"Okay." Zhang Guoqing smiled and said, "I will take over your job as a brother-in-law, and you can take over mine."

"Fuck..." Zhao Youcai was about to fight back, but heard movement at the door, and then the cotton door curtain was lifted, and a fat face appeared in front of Zhao Youcai.

"Brother!" As soon as Zhao Weipeng came in, he said to Zhao Youcai: "The two people are not found!"

"Not found?" Zhao Youcai was stunned, walked to Zhao Weipeng and asked: "How can we not find them?"

"Just now Secretary Zhou called all the villages again, and the village heads said that no outsiders came to the village last night." Zhao Weipeng said: "Secretary Zhou asked them to find the surrounding villages, vagrant villages, and old and young people."

Zhao Youcai squinted his eyes and said to Zhao Weipeng: "Didn't you tell Secretary Zhou? They must be in Yangjia Village."

"I did." Zhao Weipeng said: "Secretary Zhou called Yongsheng and asked their village head to send two people to check that village."

Yong'an Situn is a family area, and the village headquarters still has a telephone, but the rest of the villages don't even have a telephone.

"Brother, you drive, let's go." Zhao Youcai raised his hand and gestured outside the house, and said to Zhao Weipeng: "Let's go directly to the painting cabinet Yang's house."

"Hey!" Zhao Weipeng agreed, and said: "Brother, then you put it on the cotton monkey."

Zhao Youcai nodded, turned around and saw Zhang Guoqing standing there.

"Old Zhang, I'm going to ask for leave." Zhao Youcai said to Zhang Guoqing: "Go with my brother to do something."

"You ask for leave." Zhang Guoqing walked to Zhao Youcai and whispered: "But I think you two are going to fight? You better be careful, don't get beaten up by others."

"You are bragging!" Zhao Youcai pouted and said: "Who dares to hit me? Scare him to death!"
