The whole mountain is my hunting ground

From the phone call to Song Xiangchen, Zhao Youcai heard a piece of news that was not good for him.

That is, Han Songbaozi has been trying to invite Fu Hujiang to subdue the three Siberian tigers.

In terms of spearmanship and mountain climbing skills, Zhao Youcai disdained the so-called Fu Hujiang.

However, the Zhao army has endless means, which Zhao Youcai has never heard of or seen.

In addition, the Zhao army has money and people, so Zhao Youcai is really afraid that the Zhao army will take away his chance to turn over.

On the phone, Zhao Youcai heard from Song Xiangchen that Fu Hujiang had something at home and could not go to Lingnan for the time being, but he was trapped in Yongxing Brigade.

Just when Zhao Youcai was in trouble, Qin Dong's words pointed him a clear way. Zhao Youcai knew that the Zhao army had been seeking the blood of the hanging sheep. If the news of the three hanging sheep was told to the Zhao army, the Zhao family gang would be transferred away.

Zhao Youcai was very smart. He told Wang Meilan on the phone that Zhao Jun and his men should cross the border from Qingshilazi in Yong'an Forest District to Qingshidingzi in Yongxing Brigade.

In this way, the Zhao family would not be able to help Yongxing Brigade and would not know about his trip to Lingnan.

Zhao Youcai thought his plan was very clever, but Wang Meilan on the other end of the phone said casually: "Ah, I know, you called about this?"

Today, after Zhao Jun went to work, Wang Meilan lit a pine torch at the door and called all the women from the six families to discuss the important matter of collecting mountain products.

Everyone was talking enthusiastically, and Zhao Guofeng ran over to call Wang Meilan to answer the phone, saying that Zhao Youcai called from Yongxing. Wang Meilan thought he was in trouble again.

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was startled and said hurriedly: "Is this a small matter?"

"I won't tell you, I know it." Wang Meilan said perfunctorily: "When my son comes back, I will tell him and it will be over."

"Think about it and tell him!" Zhao Youcai reminded again, Wang Meilan said impatiently: "I know, I know, you should stop causing trouble for others over there."

"Ah, I know." This time it was Zhao Youcai's turn to answer in a perfunctory tone. Zhao Youcai thought to himself that it was not me who caused trouble for them, but they who caused trouble for me.

...

At this time, Zhao Jun had arrived at the third section with Wang Qiang and Jie Chen.

When they arrived at the third section, Zhao Jun and his three men went directly to Chen Liangyou.

In terms of rank, Zhao Jun was no lower than Chen Liangyou. But Chen Liangyou was Zhao Youcai's sworn brother, so after meeting, Zhao Jun called Chen Liangyou Uncle Chen.

Chen Liangyou was also enthusiastic about Zhao Jun. When he heard Zhao Youcai say that Zhao Jun liked to eat Feilong, he insisted on asking someone to get two. At this time, the boar had been slaughtered and plucked, and was ready to be stewed in the pot. They said that they must arrange a good meal for Zhao Jun at noon.

Zhao Jun smiled and agreed. There is a give and take. One day when he kills a wild boar, he will give half of it to Chen Liangyou.

In the third section, there is a special office for Zhao Jun in a row of twelve wooden houses.

It is called an office, but there is a stove and a kang in the house. Knowing that Zhao Jun is coming today, the old cook specially heated the house.

Zhao Jun appreciated the good intentions of the old cook. But he can't stay in the office now. He has to go to the rest hut of the forest protection team to meet the 194 forest rangers in Yong'an Forest District.

Since Zhao Jun came back from Yongxing Brigade, he asked Li Dazhi to spread the word in the forest camp. It is scheduled today that Deputy Team Leader Zhao will give a speech to all forest rangers at the rest hut of the forest protection team at the foot of the mountain in the third section.

Li Dazhi was the one who gave the lecture. Zhao Jun really didn't want to embarrass these people at first, but after listening to those hooligans' words this morning, Zhao Jun was furious.

After agreeing with Chen Liangyou to come back for lunch at noon, Zhao Jun rode a motorcycle and took Wang Qiang and Jie Chen down the mountain.

There are a total of 194 forest rangers in Yong'an Forest District. They patrol more than 130 forest teams that are currently logging in Yong'an Forest District, as well as old forest teams that have been logged.

Although these forest rangers are not on the payroll, they are directly hired by the forest farm. For their sake, the forest farm converted the detonator warehouse and explosives warehouse that were built for mountain excavation and road construction into resting huts for forest rangers.

These 194 forest rangers are not all from Yong'an Family District. Many of them are from villages and towns in the township.

And the job of forest ranger requires shift work, which means working five days and resting two days. So even forest rangers who live in the family district can't avoid spending the night in the mountains.

In such a situation, a small team of six forest rangers would clean up a resting shack and use it as their dormitory.

When Zhao Jun parked his motorcycle on the side of the road, the shack on the south side of the road was smoking, which should be the forest ranger's dormitory.

When they heard the sound of the motorcycle, many people came out of the two shacks on the south and north sides of the road.

"Uncle Wang."

"Brother Zhao."

Among these forest rangers, there are people from the four family quarters, and even Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang's acquaintances.

The forest rangers in Yong'an Forest District are not too old, because the forest rangers here are not organized, and they only serve as a springboard for some people to enter the forestry and forest farms.

Generally, when they are older, they have basically successfully entered the forest farms and worked in the forestry and seedling cultivation.

Zhao Jun greeted the three young men from Yong'an and Yongsheng villages. They were all young men in their 18s, 19s, and early 20s, and their families did not have strong connections.

"It's Team Leader Zhao, right?" At this time, a short man came up to Zhao Jun, smiled, took out a pack of Yingchun cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhao Jun's hand.

Zhao Jun dodged his hand and frowned at the man.

Zhao Jun vaguely saw Zhang Yuanmin in him.

"Jun." Wang Qiang walked up to Zhao Jun and whispered, "This is Zhang Jimin."

"Ah..." Zhao Jun frowned slightly, and he already knew the identity of this person.

Hearing the name, you know that Zhang Jimin and Zhang Yuanmin are related. In fact, they are uncles and cousins.

Logically, uncles and cousins ​​should be very close. But Zhang Jimin's father looked down on Zhang Yuanmin's father, and Zhang Jimin looked down on Zhang Yuanmin, so the two families have not been in contact for many years.

Zhao Jun heard this name because Zhang Yuanmin often said that Zhang Jimin was not a human being.

Although Zhang Yuanmin is not tall, he is definitely not a petty person. As a relative, Zhang Jimin can make Zhang Yuanmin hate him, which shows that Zhang Jimin is not a good person.

Recently, according to Li Dazhi, when Zhang Yuanmin's father, Zhang Da Naotou, a strange man in Yong'an, died, Zhang Yuanmin's mother asked Li Dazhi to help send a message to Zhang Jimin's home.

Li Dazhi recalled that when they heard the news of Zhang Da Naotou's death, Zhang Jimin and his father looked gloating. It was because Li Dazhi was still in the house that the father and son did not laugh out loud.

Seeing that Zhao Jun did not take his cigarette, Zhang Jimin seemed to want to say something, but a tall man squeezed over and said to Zhao Jun very politely: "Team Leader Zhao, my name is Song Fuan."

"Captain Song." Zhao Jun had heard Li Dazhi talk about this man as the captain of the forest protection team.

"Haha, what captain? That's it." Song Fuan knew that he, the captain, was not presentable in front of Zhao Jun. He simply said politely, raised his arm and pointed to the shack in Daonan, saying: "Team Leader Zhao, let's go inside, it's warm inside."

"Can these people be put inside?" Zhao Jun did not move, but threw a question to Song Fuan.

In fact, there was no need to ask, Zhao Jun also knew that the shack in Daonan could not accommodate these people, otherwise some people would not have come out of the shack in Daobei just now.

"It can't fit." Song Fuan said, "There's a kang in that shack, and the one in Daobei is similar, but there's no fire in Daobei."

"Then neither of them will go." Zhao Jun said, "I'll say a few words here, and then I'll leave."

"Come on! Come on! Everyone!" Song Fuan clapped his hands and shouted, "Welcome Team Leader Zhao to speak!"

"Wow..." The forest rangers actually applauded.

"Okay! Okay!" Zhao Jun waved his hands. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked very imposing when he was serious.

The more than 190 forest rangers were silent. Zhao Jun asked Song Fuan, "Have all our forest rangers come?"

"All of them are here, all of them are here." Song Fuan said, "There are 194 of us, including me, not one less."

Zhao Jun looked at everyone and said, "My name is Zhao Jun, and I am the security guard of our forestry farm. The one next to me is my uncle Wang Qiang, and the one over there is my younger brother Jie Chen."

Zhao Jun was too lazy to talk to them in an official tone. They all lived in the surrounding villages, and these forest rangers would definitely be able to figure out the relationship between them.

"I have another big brother. We are a group of four. He didn't come today because he was not convenient." Zhao Jun continued, "When he is convenient, find another day and let everyone know him when he comes."

When Zhao Jun said this, he glanced at Zhang Jimin secretly, and then continued, "Why let everyone know him? I'm afraid that if we walk in the forest, you will beat me again."

"Hahaha..." The forest rangers thought Zhao Jun was joking with them, and everyone laughed.

Zhao Jun looked at these people coldly. He couldn't deny that not all forest rangers bully others by taking advantage of their power, but Zhang Lifeu, who had been in Yong'an for nearly 20 years, said that the old forest rangers were okay before, but in recent years, there are few good forest rangers who have come up with these young forest rangers.

Zhao Jun still believed Zhang Lifeu's words. Thinking of what the people in Xishantun said, Zhao Jun's face became more gloomy.

When the laughter died down, Zhao Jun said coldly: "Why do I say that? Because people say that our Yongan forest rangers are evil (nē), and they will slap you if they say they want to hit you!"

Everyone was stunned and surprised. Song Fuan wanted to speak, but Zhao Jun continued: "It is said that they not only beat people, but also robbed things. They robbed everything, such as backpacks, backpacks, pipes, and tobacco faces. You are not picky!"

When Zhao Jun said the last sentence, there was a clang in his words. The forest rangers below might be a little confused, and no one said a word.

Zhao Jun waited for a while, and someone really came out to talk.

As the captain of the forest protection team, Song Fuan had to step forward and said to Zhao Jun: "Who did you hear this from, Team Leader Zhao? We didn't do that."

"What if there is?" Zhao Jun stared at Song Fuan, and when Song Fuan and Zhao Jun looked at each other, Song Fuan immediately became timid.

The gunner's eyes were murderous. How many blind bears did Zhao Jun kill last year?

His sharp eyes were really murderous, and Zhao Jun's thick eyebrows and big eyes made him very intimidating.

Song Fuan didn't say anything, but Zhao Jun didn't let him go. He pointed at Song Fuan and said, "If you have any, go home!"

Seeing that Song Fuan still didn't speak, Zhao Jun asked, "If you don't speak, then it's okay?"

"No, no, no, Team Leader Zhao." Song Fuan shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "Did the hooligans report us?"

"Hooligans are not human beings?" Zhao Jun asked back, leaving Song Fuan speechless.

The mountain wind whistled, shaking the branches all over the mountain and making rustling sounds.

Zhao Jun faced the cold wind and said loudly, "Our ancestors were from this place. There were so many beards on the mountain before liberation, but they didn't bully people like this! We are all fellow villagers. A good dog will protect its neighbors, not to mention you are a human being?"

Zhao Jun scolded, and the 194 forest rangers were ashamed and annoyed, and they couldn't raise their heads.

"There is no establishment for forest rangers in our forest area, but the salary is not low, right?" Zhao Jun continued to scold loudly: "The forest farm sees that you work hard, and you all get subsidies. Salary plus subsidies, at least thirty-five or six yuan, right? What's wrong, you can't afford to eat or drink? Can't afford to live?"

The salary of forest rangers is indeed not low. When Zhao Jun was an inspector, his monthly salary plus subsidies was only more than 40 yuan.

The forest rangers below didn't say anything, and Zhao Jun didn't know whether they listened or not.

But Zhao Jun knew that not many people would listen to what he said just now. Because plundering is addictive.

Therefore, Zhao Jun said directly: "From today on, you are responsible for the private felling of trees that are mature and can be mature in the mountains. You don't need to care about things that are not mature, and that is not your job.

If you beat people or rob people again, those hooligans will find me later, and whoever did it will go home."

When Zhao Jun said this, everyone looked up at once, and more than 190 pairs of eyes stared at him.

Zhao Jun didn't care, and just said: "There are few people who can be forest rangers who sign up by themselves. Most of them come here through connections, right? I don't care who you use to get connections, you can go back and ask. If I want to fire you, no matter who you ask, it won't work."

When Zhao Jun scolded people, his voice was loud. When he said the above words, Zhao Jun's voice was not so loud. And when the mountain wind blew, his words were intermittent.

But Zhao Jun's words just now made everyone feel cold.

In the ten miles and eight villages, how could they not have heard of Zhao Jun?

Although these forest rangers are not enlisted or work in the farm, when they sit together to drink and chat, they talk about people and things in the forest farm.

Who doesn't know what Zhao Jun's background is? If they have strong connections, why do they work as forest rangers here? Isn't it better to work as a worker in the farm?

And Zhao Jun doesn't just rely on his background. Last year, he beat Dou Baoguo three times in Xinleng Farm. He beat him with reason and evidence. The beating was so severe that even the production farm director couldn't get off the stage. What do they, a small forest ranger, count as?

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he walked towards his motorcycle. Wang Qiang followed Zhao Jun for two steps, and suddenly stopped to look at the group of forest rangers, and said with a smile: "Did anyone scold my nephew?"

When Wang Qiang said this, everyone looked at him. Wang Qiang smiled and said: "You can scold, but don't let us know, or you can try it!"

After speaking, Wang Qiang quickly followed Zhao Jun.

The forest rangers looked at each other in bewilderment. If they wanted to curse, they had to do it secretly, otherwise they would lose their jobs if the news got out.
