The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The clay stove and the small copper basin, the mutton was put into the pot, and it rolled in the boiling mutton soup, and the color changed instantly.

The mutton was added to the bowl and dipped, and the seasonings of fermented bean curd, chives, sesame paste, and chili oil were rolled on the mutton, covering the heat emitted from the mutton.

Therefore, the mutton was a little hot when it was eaten, and it was so hot that people kept "sizzling".

But some food is delicious when it is hot.

The east and west rooms of the Zhao family were steaming and lively.

But the desolate land is still so desolate.

The cold wind blew, and the branches of the poplar and birch forests on both sides rustled.

"Woo..." This is not the sound of the wind, but from the fox cave in the desolate land.

Suddenly, a fox head poked out of the cave, and it raised its nose to sniff the air.

Then, the fox head moved, and the whole fox came out of the cave.

This is a rare big red fox.

The fur is dense and thick, and it is bright red.

The red fox appeared and ran straight to the birch forest in the east.

"Ah... Ah!" Then the red fox's shrill cry came from the birch forest.

Three incomplete corpses were abandoned in the forest. The fox meat was smelly and stinky, and the hunting dogs would not eat it.

The three corpses were stripped like smoked rabbits, naked without fur, no head, no tail, and no claws.

"Ah! Ah!" The red fox made a series of shrill howls.

At this time, foxes emerged from the densely packed caves in the desolate land.

On the West Mountain, a fox ran out of the forest. These foxes in the West Mountain were chased up the mountain from the poplar forest by the Zhao family's dog gang.

With a "swish" sound, the foxes gathered in the forest.

There is an idiom called "the rabbit dies and the fox mourns". The foxes were even more sad when they saw their own kind die in front of them.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

The foxes wailed to the sky.

The sound reached Mangliutun not far away, where some hens that were left to lay eggs next spring kept clucking, and ducks kept quacking.

Many people came out of their houses and stood in the yard listening to the foxes howling.

"It's bad!" Qin Guangquan seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be saying to the people around him: "Who poked that fox den!"

"No way, uncle." Qin Hongzhi said: "Who poked that thing for what?"

Although the conditions in the Northeast Forest Area are difficult, as long as you are diligent and willing to work hard, you will not starve to death.

There are many ways to make money in the forest area. If you don't have time to poke foxes, why not go into the mountains and set two traps by the river to catch yellow leaves?

You know, in this day and age, yellow leaves are much more valuable than fox skins.

"Second uncle." Liu Chengdong said to Qin Guangquan excitedly, "I heard the noise not far away. Let's fill your old foreign cannon with medicine and shoot them!"

"Fuck your father!" Liu Chengdong just finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the inside, and a fat woman stood at the door, pointing at the three people and said, "Don't be ridiculous, you can't shoot that thing!"

The fat woman is Wang Xiaolan, Qin Guangquan's wife and Liu Chengdong's second aunt.

Liu Chengdong came here to seek refuge with relatives. How dare he say anything else when his second aunt said so.

"Little Dongzi!" Wang Xiaolan ordered Liu Chengdong, "You and your three brothers, put all the chickens in the pen."

Hearing that there was something for him to do here, Qin Hongzhi hurried forward and drove the chickens into the pen with Liu Chengdong.

The chicks in May are raised until the beginning of winter and the snow falls. Only one rooster is kept for breeding, and the rest are slaughtered and sold for money.

Hens are small in size and have little meat, so they can't be sold at a high price, so they are kept until the next spring to lay eggs.

In winter, the chickens can't find anything to eat, so the owner just sprinkles a few handfuls of bran and wheat bran to keep them from starving to death.

During the day, the chickens also come out of the pen to stroll, and they will also bask in the sun under the south window.

At this time, the chickens were already frightened, and when people chased them, they all flapped their wings and ran back to the nest.

When Wang Xiaolan urged her nephew to close the door of the chicken shed, a person came outside the courtyard gate.

The man was in his fifties. He called Qin Guangquan when he got to the door, "Xiaoquan, did you guys go out to hunt foxes today?"

"No, Brother Tong!" Qin Guangquan ran to the gate and said, "We went to trap wild boars today."

"That's fine!" Tong Youfeng raised his hand and pointed to the east, saying, "I'll go to Old Zhao's house to ask."

There was no village headquarters in Mangliutun, let alone a village chief, but there were a few people who were willing to take charge of things, and Tong Youfeng was one of them.

"Ao..."

"Ao..."

I don't know how many foxes are howling. The howling sound reaches her ears. Wang Xiaolan said worriedly: "What should we do? How about we take turns to keep watch at night?"

"Second aunt?" When Liu Chengdong heard that he had to keep watch, he hurriedly asked Wang Xiaolan: "Is it that serious?"

"Oh my God!" Wang Xiaolan grinned and said: "Little Dongzi, you don't know, that year it was a disaster for our family! I raised 20 geese, and they were bitten to death overnight!"

"Ah?" Liu Chengdong was shocked when he heard it, and asked: "Second aunt, don't you put the geese in a pen?"

"Why not!" Wang Xiaolan said: "I don't know how the foxes got in."

"No?" Liu Chengdong wondered, and said: "The fox bit your geese, didn't you hear the cry?"

"I didn't think about it!" Wang Xiaolan said: "Don't the geese cry every night?"

This is true. The geese cry at night when they see the mice cry, and they also cry when they hear the noise.

Calling and calling, everyone in the family is used to it.

"Oh..." The goose in the family is still fine this year, so Wang Xiaolan howled: "Which one of these is suffering from the plague? You are fine, why are you poking at it?"

"Stop howling!" Qin Guangquan scolded angrily: "This howling is so disturbing!"

As soon as Qin Guangquan finished speaking, he heard someone shouting outside the hospital: "What happened to Qin's second daughter-in-law?"

"Ouch." Qin Guangquan looked back, trotted over and said, "Uncle Zhang!"

The person who came was an old man, dressed in rags, but with his hands behind his back, as if he was a leader inspecting.

Lao Zhang put one hand behind his back, raised his other hand and pointed at Wang Xiaolan, asking Qin Guangquan: "Why is your wife howling? If the fox howls, your wife howls too?"

"Uncle Zhang, isn't it just listening to the howling of the fox that makes my wife afraid?" Qin Guangquan said with a sad face: "I'm afraid that the fox will harm us again."

"Oh!" Lao Zhangtou sighed after hearing this, and then asked Qin Guangquan: "Qin Er, you three went out today, didn't you poke the fox?"

"No, no." Qin Guangquan said: "How dare you? Uncle Zhang, I usually take a detour when I go out to the village to watch foxes."

"Then who is this? So idle!" Lao Zhangtou muttered in his mouth. In the eyes of gangsters like them, hunting foxes is idle these days. If you have the energy to hunt foxes, why can't you earn more than this?

After saying that, Boss Zhang raised his hand and gestured to the east and said, "Okay, I'll just ask. If you didn't hit me, I'll go to Lao Zhao's house and ask."

This old boss Zhang is also willing to make trouble, and there is a competitive relationship between the two people with Tong Youfeng, who was there before.

Therefore, Qin Guangquan did not say that Tong Youfeng had just passed by, and only said: "Uncle Zhang, then walk slowly."

The fox howled in the mountains, causing the hooligans to panic.

As for Zhao's house in Yong'an Village, the two rooms were very lively. The men exchanged cups, drank heavily, and ate meat.

Wang Meilan always treats guests with food and drink.

In this man's house, there is beer and liquor, so you can drink whatever you want.

Li Baoyu held a cigarette in his mouth and poured himself a full glass of beer. There are too many people, and no matter how big the table is, it will be crowded. There are many dishes and there is not much room to put on the table.

So, after pouring a glass of wine, Li Baoyu bent to the right and placed the bottle on the ground.

But when Li Baoyu turned around, he saw that his cup was empty.

"Did I drink too much?" Li Baoyu was startled, but he was sure that he didn't drink too much.

Li Baoyu turned his head slightly and glanced at Li Ruhai who was eating mutton next to him.

Li Ruhai paused and looked sideways at Li Baoyu.

Li Baoyu raised the corners of his mouth, picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass. Then, Li Baoyu didn't put the bottle back in a hurry, but pushed the wine glass on the table towards Li Ruhai.

Li Ruhai pursed his lips and looked at Li Baoyu. Li Baoyu smiled at him, and Li Ruhai quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

When Li Ruhai put down his cup, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

How can brothers have any grudge?

Looking at his younger brother at this time, Li Baoyu couldn't help but imagine the scene where the two brothers would sit together and drink together in the future.

…

This meal lasted from one o'clock in the afternoon to four o'clock in the afternoon. Except for the two drivers and Zhao Jun, everyone else, including Li Ruhai, was tipsy.

At this time, his voice became louder and his movements became wider.

Chu Anmin drank the last sip of wine, put the empty glass down on the table, and said, "Okay, Brother Zhao. That's it for today, but you can't drink any more!"

"Then... are you ready to drink?" Among the people, Zhao Youcai was relatively sober because he had something on his mind.

Compared to the three people from the Forestry Bureau and the three people from the video team, Zhao Youcai was more anxious to leave. Therefore, when Chu Anmin put down his cup, Zhao Youcai stopped trying to persuade him.

Everyone got up one after another. After three hours of eating, they were all full and full. After smoking a cigarette, everyone left as soon as they left.

Seeing that the guests were about to leave, Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei also went out to see them off.

Previously, Zhao Youcai promised to give each of Chu Anmin and the video team a wild boar. The rear butt of the big-assed Jeep could barely fit one into it.

Wang Meilan was also generous and gave away both ends that Zhao Youcai had beaten the next year.

Seeing that the pig's hooves were sticking out, Wang Meilan asked Li Baoyu to go into the house to get a hand ax for chopping wood.

Li Baoyu said that there was a Dandong mirror ax in the warehouse, but Wang Meilan refused to let it go, because the mirror ax was used for forestry operations and it was easy to move the one when working at home.

That ax is too fast. If you chop firewood incorrectly, you may hurt yourself.

The children are all at Li's house, watched by the old lady and Zhao Chun. So at this time, only Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong were in the Zhao family room.

When Li Baoyu entered the house and opened the door, he heard Li Dayong say to Zhao Youcai: "Brother, you can let the birds fly as high as the sky, and the sea as wide as the fish leap!"

"Huh?" Li Baoyu was startled, and Li Dayong, who heard the movement, hurried to the door and glanced outside.

Seeing that it was his son, Li Dayong asked, "What are you doing?"

From his father's tone, Li Baoyu knew that these two brothers were up to no good.

"Ah, my aunt asked me to get the axe." Li Baoyu said, walked a few steps towards the door of the west room, and took a special look into the room.

Seeing Zhao Youcai carrying a semi-automatic rifle on his back, Li Baoyu's heart moved. He turned around, picked up the hand ax next to the stove, and ran outside the house.

Go outside the house, use two axes to cut off the wild boar's calf stick, and the wild boar is successfully loaded on the rear buttocks of the jeep.

At this time, most people were talking politely, but Li Baoyu pulled Zhao Jun aside.

"Brother, there's a situation!"

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Baoyu didn't say anything at first, then curled his lips and flicked his chin towards the Zhao family's west room.

Zhao Jun went as Li Baoyu expected. The west room of his house had lights on but the curtains were not drawn.

Therefore, Zhao Jun could clearly see that Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong were in the room, wondering what they were talking about.

"Brother." Li Baoyu complained: "Just now my father and my uncle said, 'The sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is wide and fish can leap.'"

"Huh?" Zhao Jun frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It means... that no one cares about my uncle when he goes out." After Li Baoyu said this, Zhao Jun said: "What's going on? No one cares about him when he goes out."

"No, brother." Li Baoyu whispered, "My uncle is still carrying a gun."

After saying that, Li Baoyu saw that Zhao Jun still hadn't reacted, so he continued: "Brother, think about it. If my uncle goes to the Yongxing Brigade, will he still carry a gun?"

"Ouch!" Zhao Jun was startled.

At this moment, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong came out.

Zhao Jun stood at the door. When Zhao Youcai passed by him, Zhao Jun grabbed Zhao Youcai's arm.

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai stared and felt that Zhao Jun had stuffed something in his pocket.

When Zhao Youcai touched his pocket, he could feel that it was a wad of money.

"Dad." Zhao Jun whispered in Zhao Youcai's ear: "If you have to give up favors on the other end, just give up favors. Don't be reluctant to spend money."

They brought a wild boar to Chu Anmin and a wild boar to the video team, but they didn't bring anything to Tao Dabao and Li Laowu.

Of course, it's not that the Zhao family is reluctant to part with it, but that the wild products, game, and agricultural and sideline products they have are available in other brigades.

It happened that Zhao Youcai was there, so he asked him to buy some cigarettes and alcohol for the elderly and bottles and cans for the children.

Zhao Jun was afraid that Zhao Youcai would steal money, so he deliberately gave him a hundred yuan.

But after listening to Zhao Jun's words, Zhao Youcai gave him a blank look.

And what this rolling eye means is: I want you to teach me?

Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth. Although Zhao Youcai was not friendly, he still warned: "Dad, when you go out, take good care of yourself."

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai gave Zhao Jun another look.

After all that needed to be explained, Zhao Jun said nothing more. But after Zhao Youcai took two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to Zhao Jun and said, "You have a good family. Take good care of your mother and sister."

After saying that, Zhao Youcai rushed to Chu Anmin's jeep.

"Let's go, sister-in-law! Old Zhou..." Chu Anmin greeted everyone one by one. After these two days of Yong'an trip, Chu Anmin felt that the people here were very good.

The three members of the video team were also saying goodbye to the people they had met in the past few days.

At the same time, a gangster in Xishan settled in Tong Youfeng's house, and thirty or forty people gathered in the house.

These people are all middle-aged men, and the reason why they gather together is the foxes in the desolate land.
