The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Zhao Jun rushed in unexpectedly, startling Zhao Youcai who had his back turned to him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Youcai was hugged from behind by Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun's arms were tightly wrapped around Zhao Youcai's biceps. As a result, Zhao Youcai couldn't lift his arms.

Wang Meilan was also stunned, and hurriedly pulled her body up, stretched out her arm and patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder, and said: "What are you doing, son? I can't make trouble with your father, why are you both older and younger?"

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled. He pushed open the door and saw Zhao Youcai waving his arm to hit someone. He didn't care about anything else in his desperation.

Listening to Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Jun subconsciously let go of Zhao Youcai. When he looked at Zhao Youcai, he saw his father's gloomy face.

"Dad, look...hehe..." Zhao Jun chuckled and said, "You and my mother, if anything happens between the two of you, just talk it over and don't hit anyone."

"What the hell..." Zhao Youcai was furious. How could he, a man in his forties, not know what it means to be biased? Fortunately, the two of them weren't really fighting, otherwise Wang Meilan would have caught him with a face full of flowers just now.

Seeing that Zhao Youcai was about to attack him, Zhao Jun turned around and ran away.

"Oh!" Just now, it was the son who was protecting his mother. This time, it is the mother's turn to protect her son. Wang Meilan grabbed Zhao Youcai and said, "Go to bed quickly. Make a noise in the middle of the night and let the neighbors hear it. What are you thinking about?" The ground is gone.”

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Zhao Youcai was so stupid that he lay down on the kang angrily and soon fell asleep.

…

The next day, December 29, 1987.

Fearing retribution last night, Zhao Jun didn't sleep well until late in the night, and he woke up late in the morning.

Wang Meilan, who had finished cooking, came over and greeted him: "Son, get up and eat quickly. Aren't you going to go up the mountain soon?"

"Ah, Mom, I'll get up right now." Zhao Jun responded, got up, got dressed, went to the ground, washed his face in the outhouse, and prepared to eat.

Today, the Zhao family ate sauerkraut and potatoes stewed with wild boar slices as usual. The staple food is sticky bean buns, with dry food and stew on top, and the meals are cooked in one pot.

Zhao Youcai still had a good appetite. After eating two bowls of vegetables and twelve sticky bean buns, Zhao Jun only ate six.

After eating, Zhao Jun put on his leggings, clothes, and shoulder bag in the West Room. When he came out of the room, Wang Meilan came over with a bag of wrapped pancakes.

"Mom, no need." The Zhao family went up the mountain today to hunt squirrels in the pine tree hills they passed yesterday.

Squirrels come out every morning and after ten o'clock in the morning, they are almost invisible.

Therefore, Zhao Jun and the others left early and came back early. They had dinner at home at noon, so there was no need to bring food to them.

But Wang Meilan didn't know that when Zhao Jun applied eye drops to Zhao Youcai yesterday, Zhao Jun said that they were going to hunt roe deer for Zhao Youcai today.

"Take it." Wang Meilan said: "If you fight around or fight around, you can't say how far you can go."

"Mom, if my dad doesn't want it, we won't hunt the roe deer." Zhao Jun whispered in Wang Meilan's ear: "We will skin the gray dog ​​today and roast it for the gray dog."

"Okay!" Wang Meilan nodded heavily and said, "You should have changed your behavior a long time ago. Every day it's either a roe deer or a wild boar, and then it's the old blind bear. We've all eaten enough."

Hearing Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Jun couldn't help laughing. But here in Zhao Jun, there is nothing wrong with whatever his mother says, so he just smiles.

At this time, Zhao Youcai walked out of the east room, glanced at Wang Meilan with his small eyes, and said angrily: "I've had a crazy day for you. I don't know how I'll be able to get enough after a few days."

"I..." Wang Meilan choked at Zhao Youcai's words, and then counterattacked: "Zhao Youcai, when you say this, how are you a human being?"

"Why am I no longer a human being?" Zhao Youcai said confidently: "I'm not a loser either!"

"Am I a prodigal?" Wang Meilan felt a little guilty when she asked this question, so she didn't give Zhao Youcai a chance to complain, and said hurriedly: "How much can I eat in a day? You can't stuff as much delicious food as you want. What if you don’t make twelve or three sticky bean buns? I can’t eat them in one day!”

"How can I eat?" Zhao Youcai was able to speak out in this quarrel. It was obvious that he had come back after losing the previous quarrel. At this moment, he also said confidently: "My monthly salary is more than a hundred yuan, and I only earn about 100 yuan a year." It’s more than a thousand, what the hell can’t I afford?”

"You have more than a thousand...can you afford it..." Wang Meilan was caught off guard by Zhao Youcai's counterattack, but she quickly stabilized her position and said: "Your salary...that's more than a thousand, you pay two cows Isn’t it gone?”

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Zhao Youcai stood there dumbly as if struck by lightning, then turned around and angrily entered the east room, locked the door with a bang, took off the cotton-padded jacket behind the door and put it on himself.

"Mom, how could you say that?" Zhao Jun complained to Wang Meilan in a low voice. Wang Meilan clicked her eyes and said, "I'm not good at fighting, and I'm not good at swearing. Can't I hold it back?"

At this point, Wang Meilan raised her hand and pointed at the closed door of the east room and said, "It's very irritating to hear what he said."

The two women were not loud, but the partition walls in the rural house were made of single bricks, and the door was just a wooden board, which was not soundproof at all.

Therefore, Zhao Youcai, who could hear clearly in the room, cursed: "Get out of here, you two, you two will know how to deal with me in one day!"

The "dealing" he mentioned means to be against.

Hearing Zhao Youcai's scolding, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan looked at each other, and both of them curled their lips and walked out of the house.

Coming out of the house, Wang Meilan went to return the big pancakes to the vat, while Zhao Jun went to the warehouse to get the gun.

Today they were hunting squirrels. Semi-automatic, barrel-mounted guns, and casing guns could not be used. No. 16 shotguns could be used to shoot machine sand, but there was only one No. 16 tree in the entire Zhaojia Gang, and it belonged to Zhang Yuanmin.

Zhao Jun planned to go to Zhang Yuanmin's house to requisition the No. 16 tree later, but he, Wang Qiang, Jie Chen, and Xing San had no choice but to use air rifles.

Airsoft guns have short range, poor accuracy, and low power. If you hit someone, if you hit it right, you can at most break the bridge of the person's nose.

But this power is definitely enough for hunting squirrels.

Zhao Jun took two air guns and two boxes of ammunition, and when he came out of the warehouse, he saw Li Baoyu climbing over the wall.

"Brother!" After Li Baoyu got off the wall, he quickly came to Zhao Jun, reached for an air gun, picked it up and took a look at the distance, then returned the gun to Zhao Jun with lingering thoughts, and said: "I also want to follow You go."

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this. He knew that Li Baoyu was just talking. Unlike him, Li Baoyu was still short of a driver and Li Baoyu couldn't ask for leave at all.

Here in the Northeast, we care about the iron rice bowl. How can anyone not go to work and think about hunting every day? How can he be a second-rate person?

Zhao Jun took the gun from Li Baoyu and asked: "Baoyu, we have one day off in the Gregorian calendar year. We will work for one day on the 2nd, and we will have a rest on the 3rd on Sunday. After that, we will go to work on the 4th, and the TV will be on stage. ?”

"Yes!" Li Baoyu responded with a smile, and at this moment Wang Meilan came over and said to Li Baoyu: "Baoyu, did your mother tell you? You have to leave one of your indicators for Brother Zhang's family, who wants to buy a TV. "

Zhao Jun's family is a forest farm employee. He and Zhao Youcai have four indicators. They just use a color TV, a refrigerator, a tape recorder, and a washing machine.

Therefore, if Zhang Yuanmin's family wanted to buy a TV, they had to use the Li family's indicators. The Li family's three employees have six quotas, and their family doesn't buy everything.

"Ah..." Li Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't say it, it's enough."

Yesterday, father and son Li Baoyu and Li Dayong had a verbal battle with Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, and Zhao Weipeng in a jeep, and finally won the right to buy a TV for the Zhao family. Then Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, and Zhao Weipeng were responsible for the Zhao family's refrigerator, washing machine, and tape recorder.

However, Wang Qiang and Zhao Weipeng have no indicators, and they are all funded by the Li family. Moreover, Wang Qiang also needs a TV at home. As a result, the Li family's six indicators are gone. But if Zhang Yuanmin needs it, Lin Xiangshun still has one in hand.

And with Li Ruhai here, are you still worried that there will be no indicators?

Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan didn't think much about it. If it didn't work out, Zhou Jianjun would be there. Zhou Jianjun is in charge of logistics, but he still doesn't handle such trivial matters as adjusting indicators?

At this moment, Wang Qiang and Jie Chen came together, and they both took the air rifle.

Wang Qiang held the air gun in his hand and played with it twice, then raised his head and called Zhao Jun: "Let's go, nephew."

"Let's go!" The three of Zhao Jun got into the car. It was only seven o'clock and it was just dawn in the mountainous area.

The three of them took a car to Zhang Yuanmin and borrowed a No. 16 gun, and took away all the machine-loaded bullets and single-head bullets from Zhang Yuanmin's house.

The No. 16 gun has the disadvantages of short range and poor accuracy, but it is much better than the air gun.

Furthermore, this gun can be replaced with powerful single-point bullets. Although he was going for the squirrel today, he could encounter any situation when he went up the mountain, so Zhao Jun had to be prepared.

The three of them took a bus to Jie Zhongling Field, picked up Xing San who was carrying a gun, and the four of them went straight to the 45th Lin Squadron.

It was still the same route as yesterday. It was just eight o'clock when the four of them entered the mountain, following yesterday's footsteps. After walking for nearly twenty minutes, the four of them descended the south slope and split into two groups. From the starting position, two people head east and two people head west. This can effectively prevent accidental damage to friendly forces.

Before starting, Zhao Jun wanted Xing San and Wang Qiang, who were in the same group with him, to switch guns, so that Wang Qiang and Xie Chen's group also had a No. 16. If an accident occurs, Wang Qiang can also respond with a single-head bomb.

But Xing San said that he had never used an air gun, so Zhao Jun exchanged the No. 16 in his hand with Wang Qiang.

It was almost half past eight at this time, and we could still fight for another hour and a half. The two groups of people did not gossip and went straight to action.

These days, mountain animals are really rich.

The four people rowed up the south slope and then toward the north slope. After sweeping around the north slope, the four people inserted themselves diagonally into the legs of the small post and climbed up to the main post in the northeast direction. Then the two groups separated and each went down the hillside.

At nearly 10:40, the two groups met on Gangliangzi. After statistics, Zhao Jun defeated seven Huipi, five Xing San, eight Wang Qiang, and two Jie Chen.

Why is squirrel skin so expensive, and why do people specialize in hunting wild boar and roe deer? This is because hunting squirrels requires certain marksmanship.

Four people can kill twenty-two squirrels, which is a lot. According to the local dialect, this is enough.

But when he saw that it was still early, Xing San went down to the ditch to catch the half-roasted chicken, saying that he wanted to use the half-roasted chicken to stew sauerkraut.

While beating the half-roasted chicken, Zhao Jun remembered a very strange thing. There is no ban on hunting these days, but there seems to be more and more hunting of sand half chickens.

But more than thirty years later, before Zhao Jun was reborn, how many years had guns and hunting been banned? On the contrary, there are fewer Shabanchi chickens, even less than this time.

It was half past eleven, and the total number of chickens played by the four people turned out to be twenty-two. There were eight Zhao Jun and seven Wang Qiang, and the uncle and nephew exchanged them.

Xing San was old and tired from all the hard work, so he only shot four. But Jie Chen shot three of them, and he couldn't even enjoy them anymore.

The four of them got on the car after crossing the ditch and pond, and sent Xing San back to Lengchang.

Zhao Jun was not polite to Xing San and returned home with the remaining prey. It was almost two o'clock when we got home.

As soon as the sack fell to the ground outside Zhao Jun's house, the little lynx jumped over and picked up a dead squirrel, but the next second it was grabbed by the back of the neck by Zhao Jun.

When someone lifted him up, the little lynx let go and the squirrel fell from its mouth.

"Do you think you were bitten?" Wang Qiang picked up the squirrel and saw that it was not bitten, but he casually put a hat on the little lynx.

"I'll give you something to eat later." Zhao Jun sent the little lynx back to the west room. The chickens and squirrels were bled, but none of them were disemboweled. The internal organs were pulled out enough for the little lynx to eat for several days.

"Son!" Wang Meilan, who was pouring oil into the pot and preparing to make noodles for the three of them, called to Zhao Jun and said, "Go outside and order some noodles. When you're done, go to the west courtyard to summon your aunt."

There were so many chickens and squirrels waiting to be skinned, so Wang Meilan ordered people to light the beacon tower.

"I'll go!" As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, before Zhao Jun could speak, Jie Chen stepped forward and said to Wang Meilan: "Auntie, I will also take care of lighting the beacon tower from now on."

"Ah..." Wang Meilan was startled, then said: "Okay."

When her own son was around, Wang Meilan felt that it was not good to always give orders to other people's sons, but she couldn't resist someone who took the initiative to ask for help.

Looking at the prey that Zhao Jun and the others brought back, Wang Meilan was very happy and said: "Son, you have done a good job."

"Yeah!" Zhao Jun said with a smile while holding a tea vat: "Those who put the tree in front of them with a 'woo woo' were startled by those coming from behind."

"Huh?" At this time, Wang Meilan picked up the Shaban Chicken by one paw and said, "Can this thing be stewed?"

"Make dumplings!" Wang Qiang made a suggestion, "Just like eating a house bird, remove the breast meat and thigh meat, then add green onions and stuffing."

"Then that's not enough." Wang Meilan said: "Pull it down, smoke it after it's stewed, and you can have a drink."

"That's okay." Wang Qiang thought the same thing. For more than 20 people to eat every day, the eighteen half-roasted chickens were chopped into pieces, and the dumplings they made were not enough to eat.

"Son." Wang Meilan threw the half-roasted chicken on the ground and said to Zhao Jun: "After you finish eating, take four of these to Uncle Ma's house."

Zhao Jun responded and suddenly remembered that the day after tomorrow was the 31st, which was Ma Ling's birthday.

Zhao Jun's gifts had been delivered in advance, but what he was thinking about was his brother-in-law, and he didn't know whether the boy gave the card to his deskmate.

This is an additional update. It is still owed in 22 years, but it just says: I am here, so this debt cannot be paid.

Will update normally tonight.
