The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Since his wife passed away, Qin Dajiang has been working in the mountains, setting traps, clamps and swatters.

He has lived in the mountains for seven or eight years, and Qin Dajiang can definitely be called an old mountain runner.

Nowadays, mountain runners follow the rules. Old mountain runners like Qin Dajiang have fixed territories in the mountains, and other mountain runners will not easily come to his territory to set traps or something.

But because of that conflict, Qin Dajiang moved away from his old nest where he had run for many years, which can be regarded as leaving his hometown.

People are cheap when they leave their hometown. After leaving the original shack, Qin Dajiang could not find such a good place again.

Although the forest area is large, with more than a hundred forest blocks, if you want to set traps or something, you have to find the old forest blocks that have been selectively felled.

Selective felling is different from clear felling. Clear felling is to cut down all the trees on a hillside. Selective felling is selective, and only the thick ones are cut.

After the selective felling, the tree stumps arched branches, which are the main food source for roe deer in winter.

The remaining oar trees and pine trees can still drop fruits in autumn, and wild boars and squirrels are still active here.

In this way, there is plenty of prey.

The key is that after the selective felling, the tree stumps will produce branches in the spring, which will fill the forest that has been cut down, making it easier to set traps.

Good places like this have long been occupied by people.

Qin Dajiang had no choice but to run to the 95th forest class and guard the riverside, which is the water source.

Then, every day, he would find a place with shallow water and ice to set traps and catch yellow leaves.

But the daily felling in front, the sound of chain saws and shouting, and the trees falling here and there, scared everything around, and there were not many weasels.

From the time Qin Dajiang came here, he only caught two yellow leaves in total.

Two yellow leaves, one male and one female, can be sold for more than 60 yuan, but this is not enough to treat his son Qin Qiang's injuries.

The more Qin Dajiang talked, the more aggrieved he felt. The more aggrieved he felt, the more he wanted to talk. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop.

Li Chunming and the other four were not from the mountains after all. After hearing what Qin Dajiang said, Zhang Dongzhi's eyes narrowed and he said, "Who is this person? Isn't he a bandit? Uncle, where is the old man?"

"Oh!" Seeing this, Zhao Youcai quickly interrupted the conversation and said to Qin Dajiang, "Brother, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Your nephew is now a security guard, or a forestry security guard. He is in charge of forest patrols. Just let him solve your problem for you!"

How could Zhao Youcai not know who the old man who "bullied" the Qin family father and son was?

He said this to prevent Li Chunming and others from interfering, otherwise this matter would be troublesome.

"Oh, brother!" Qin Dajiang heard this, and held Zhao Youcai's hand with surprise, saying: "Is my nephew so successful now?"

"Oh, that kid is good, he knows how to make progress." No matter how the two of them get along in private, when Zhao Jun is mentioned outside, Zhao Youcai smiles, and he can't hide his pride.

"That's a problem for my nephew!" Qin Dajiang shook Zhao Youcai's hand.

At this time, Li Chunming interrupted and said to Zhao Youcai: "Master Zhao, if you think about this, you have to tell your Zhao Jun."

"That's right!" Qin Zhusong echoed: "It's been so many years since the liberation, and there are still besieged people in the mountains?"

"Not really, haha." Zhao Youcai smiled and waved his hand, saying: "What besieged people?"

As he said that, Zhao Youcai gestured to Qin Dajiang, and then continued: "Brother Qin was fighting for territory with others, and they started arguing. As an old man with a dirty temper, he started fighting."

"Second brother..." Qin Dajiang seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Youcai.

"Brother!" Zhao Youcai said to Qin Dajiang, "Hurry up and give us something to eat. We are all hungry."

"Haven't you eaten yet?" Qin Dajiang asked with wide eyes. Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said, "Not very well. We are all holding our stomachs. What do you have? Hurry up and give us something."

"Hurry up then." Qin Dajiang said as he went down to the ground, moved the tree stump leaning against the door, opened the door and went to untie the sacks hanging in the wind and snow.

After a while, Qin Dajiang came back with a bag of noodles and an aluminum lunch box.

"I'll give you some hot porridge, it's hot." Qin Dajiang said, but Li Chunming and the other four looked at each other.

Although they went hunting in the mountains, they were just playing, and no one had really lived in the mountains.

They thought that even if Qin Dajiang couldn't cook two dishes, he could cook a pot of hot soup noodles and a few poached eggs.

"Okay, brother." Zhao Youcai said as he stood up and took the small stew pot next to the stove.

Zhao Youcai opened the stew pot, picked up the water bottle next to it, and poured water into the stew pot.

At this time, Li Chunming and the other four hadn't said anything. They thought Zhao Youcai was going to wash the stew pot.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhao Youcai directly put the stew pot on the stove cover.

Li Chunming and the other four looked at each other. They saw with their own eyes that there were cracks on the inner wall of the stew pot. It was obvious that Qin Dajiang didn't wash the pot after the last meal.

Li Chunming and the other four were not usually very clean. They were men, and they were careless, but they were not like this!

"Master Zhao." Zhang Dongzhi called Zhao Youcai softly and asked tentatively: "Don't you wash the pot?"

"Wash the pot?" Zhao Youcai smiled, raised his hand and pointed to the door, saying: "Go get some water."

Zhang Dongzhi shut up. They were more than a mile away from the river bank. They came along there and slipped all the way.

"Haha, this is what the errand shack looks like." Qin Dajiang said with a smile. Then he held the flour bag in one hand and grabbed cornmeal from the bag with the other hand and threw it into the pot.

Seeing this scene, Li Chunming and the other four were all shocked, but no one said anything.

Qin Dajiang's hands were black, his fingernails were long, and there was mud inside!

Qin Dajiang sprinkled two handfuls of cornmeal into the pot, and was stopped by Zhao Youcai.

"Brother, keep the rest." Zhao Youcai said, "Brother is busy now, wait for me to finish, I will carry 20 kilograms for you."

This scene made Li Chunming and the other four stunned again.

Hearing Zhao Youcai say this, Qin Dajiang looked into his pocket, then tied the bag and smiled at Zhao Youcai: "Okay, second brother, you watch the pot, don't stir it."

If you cook porridge with a lid on the pot, stir it as soon as it boils.

"Hey." Zhao Youcai responded, Qin Dajiang pointed to the aluminum lunch box he put on the edge of the kang and said, "There are pancakes over there, put them on the lid to heat them up later."

After that, Qin Dajiang went out with the bag of noodles. There might be mice hiding somewhere in his shack, so food can't be put in the house.

After Qin Dajiang left, Zhang Dongzhi opened the lunch box lid and saw big pancakes stacked inside.

The pancakes were as big as the palm of a hand, and they were stacked upright. There could be twelve or thirteen pancakes in a lunch box.

"Master Zhao." Zhang Dongzhi looked at Zhao Youcai and said, "Let's eat this?"

"Then what do you want to eat?" Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "It's good to be able to eat this. Just make do with it. Tomorrow, we'll knock that big claw to death and go back to the field to eat a good meal!"

The porridge was cooked as soon as it was boiled. The stew pot was moved to the ground, and Zhao Youcai pasted the pancakes one by one on the black stove cover.

Li Chunming and the other four were retired soldiers, and they could endure hardships, but they hadn't eaten for many years.

Today, they filled their stomachs in this shack in a dirty way. It was not convenient to use water in this shack, so the four of them didn't even need to wash and lay on the kang with cotton jackets on.

The whistling sound of the wind in the outer room could be heard clearly in the shack.

At this time, the Zhao family in Yong'antun was full of joy and peace.

Today, except for the Zhang and Jiang families, the other families all bought color TVs. With good food and drink every day, each family felt that life was getting more and more energetic.

Seeing that it was past nine o'clock, each family left with their children.

"Nephew." Before leaving, Wang Qiang asked Zhao Jun: "Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock?"

"Huh?" Zhao Jun squinted his eyes and said: "Uncle, early tomorrow. If it doesn't snow, you and Xiaochen will be here at half past six."

"Okay." Wang Qiang responded, and Jie Chen also said: "Okay, Jun brother!"

After the diners left, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were left at home with two little girls.

Wang Meilan was warming the quilt in the house, Zhao Jun took a towel, tucked the towel into Zhao Na's collar, and then washed the little sister's face.

After washing Zhao Na, wash Zhao Hong.

The two little girls were particularly cheerful today, holding Zhao Jun and chattering non-stop.

Zhao Jun washed the two sisters' feet again before sending them to bed.

"Okay, you two go to sleep!" Zhao Jun rubbed their little heads one by one, and then said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, don't worry about it. Didn't you hear what my second brother said? My dad went to some old mountain dog shack."

Zhao Jun comforted Wang Meilan in this way, but he was also worried. He knew better than Wang Meilan that it was windy and snowy outside, and Zhao Youcai might get lost.

But there was no way, Zhao Jun didn't dare to say this to Wang Meilan.

"Go to sleep, son, don't worry about him!" Wang Meilan's words were very harsh, but Zhao Jun knew his mother. When Miss Wang cursed, she must have been very anxious in her heart.

Although Zhao Jun was not very good at persuading people, he also tried to comfort Wang Meilan.

But there is one person missing from the family. This person is now in the mountains, where it is windy and snowy.

At this time, Wang Meilan's worries are really not something Zhao Jun can comfort. Zhao Jun didn't say a word, and Wang Meilan drove him back to the west room.

Zhao Jun was also tired all day, and he fell asleep after lying on the kang for a while.

He fell asleep, and Zhao Hong and Zhao Na in the east room also fell asleep, but Wang Meilan couldn't sleep.

"Er Gudong, you are a man without great virtue, just show off!" Wang Meilan cursed and worried about Zhao Youcai.

"A-choo!" In the shack, on the earthen kang, Zhao Youcai sneezed suddenly.

After lying down for half an hour, Zhao Youcai still didn't fall asleep, and Li Chunming, Qin Zhusong, Zhao Jicheng and Zhang Dongzhi didn't fall asleep either.

The conditions were too harsh, Qin Dajiang only had one set of bedding, and he covered himself. Zhao Youcai and the other five didn't take off their cotton pants and cotton shoes, and covered themselves with cotton monkeys and cotton jackets.

After a day of trekking in the mountains, my feet were swollen, but there was nothing I could do. I would freeze my feet if I took off my shoes.

The wood stove was almost lit in half an hour. Now the whole shack was warm, but Li Chunming felt his nose tip was frozen.

Yier also did not sleep!

Its fur was really cold-resistant. This tiger was lying under the roots of a linden tree.

There was a hole here, but it could not fit Yier in.

So, the back half of Yier was in the hole, and the front half was outside the hole.

The place where wild animals lie down must be sheltered from the wind.

But Yier lay on the ground, and snowflakes kept falling on it.

At this time, Yier's amber tiger eyes were piercing in the dark night. Snowflakes fell on its nose, but Yier did not even blink.

There was no mountain bird or wild beast within a radius of five miles near Yier.

As long as he did not meet Zhao Youcai and the black tiger, Yier would still be the king of beasts.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning when Yier squinted his eyes.

At this time, Wang Meilan sat up from the quilt.

The sound of wind and snow outside made Wang Meilan upset.

Wang Meilan simply got up, went to the outhouse to burn the kang, and kneaded the buns.

The leftover donkey meat stuffing from yesterday was made into dough at night, so Wang Meilan got up this morning to make big buns with donkey meat stuffing.

Under the dim light, Wang Meilan rolled out the dough and filled it with fillings, and each big bun sat on the panel.

Wang Meilan moved very gently, trying not to wake her son.

But at four o'clock, Zhao Jun was awakened by the little lynx parkour. He grabbed the little lynx that jumped on it, lifted the quilt and stuffed it into the bed.

At this time, Zhao Jun saw the light coming through the crack in the door. He lifted his head off the pillow and listened. Wang Meilan moved slightly, and Zhao Jun didn't hear a sound, so he took the flashlight, pushed the light away and shook it towards the wall.

Seeing that it was only four o'clock, Zhao Jun got off the bed and put on his cotton-padded jacket and left the house.

Zhao Jun went to the outhouse and saw Wang Meilan placing buns in the pot.

"Mom, why did you get up so early?" Zhao Jun asked, and Wang Meilan said, "Steam a pot first, and when it's finished, Jiang Nai and the others will deliver it to you."

After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun asked again: "Mom, are you worried about my dad?"

"This old kid!" Wang Meilan opened her mouth and scolded: "You waited for him to come back."

Zhao Jun pursed his lips slightly and said nothing more. At this time, Wang Meilan asked him: "Son, the wind has stopped outside and the snow seems to have stopped. Are you still going today?"

"Let's go as soon as the snow stops." Zhao Jun glanced out the dark window. At this time, he could no longer hear the sound of wind and snow.

Zhao Youcai is not at home, and Zhao Jun is not sleeping either. He lit a lantern and hung it outside, then began to clear the snow.

Wang Meilan steamed four pots of steamed buns, giving one pot to the old lady and Jie Chen, and another pot to the Li family next door.

The Zhao family steams buns in this pot, and the Li family puts dog food in the pot.

After working until almost six o'clock, Zhao Jun went home for dinner, and Li Dayong and Li Baoyu helped him feed the dog.

After Zhao Jun finished his meal, the dog was also full.

It stopped snowing outside, but the wind picked up again.

The strong wind blew the snow all over the sky. Zhao Jun sat on the edge of the kang and tied up his leggings.

When he got up, the dog outside the house barked twice.

Jie Chen and Wang Qiang are here.

When Jie Chen came, he brought the white dragon and the black dragon. These two dogs originally suffered only skin injuries and did not need stitches. The wounds have been closed just by the injections in the past two days.

Seeing Zhao Jun put on mountain clothes and come out of the house with a gun on his back, the dogs in the yard jumped for joy.

Zhao Jun went to the warehouse and took out the repaired armor and put them on the white dragon and the black dragon.

As the dogs got into the car one after another, the Zhao family set off into the mountains.

Normal mountain animals don't even get up in the morning after a heavy snowfall, and only get up in the afternoon to look for food.

So Zhao Jun, who was originally going to go to Lao Guitouzi Ridge to plug one ear, changed his mind and went to plug his ear.

Almost at the same time, the five Zhao Youcai people who had eaten sorghum rice and pickle sticks in the Qin Dajiang shack also left the shack with guns on their backs.
