The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Zhao Jun had originally planned well. He would leave home in the morning and reach Huang Gui's home in Qiaotou Village before noon.

He would visit Huang Gui's home, stay overnight, and go to Hansongbaozi tomorrow.

But he was stopped by a group of people as soon as he left Yong'an Village.

"Master Zhao!"

"Master Zhao, where are you going?"

Just by hearing the way the people addressed Zhao Jun, he knew that they were from Xishan Village.

"What are you doing here again?" Zhao Jun was also a little confused when he saw the dozen people in front of him.

"Master Zhao." Wu Dalin squeezed out of the crowd, clasped his hands and shook Zhao Jun twice, and said with a smile: "We are here to send you fox skins."

"Ah..." At this time, Zhao Jun noticed that each of these people was carrying a sack roll behind them, and it seemed that the sack roll contained fox skins.

The last time the people from Xishan Village came to Yong'an, Zhao Jun had an agreement with them. This Sunday, Zhao Jun will go to Xishan Village to collect some mountain products, and he will collect all the fox skins along the way.

Although Zhao Jun is going to Lingnan now, he has already made arrangements for Sunday. On that day, Wang Meilan, president of Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce, will go to Xishantun to discuss business.

Linchanghai is on holiday on Sunday, and Li Ruhai, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, will also accompany him. Moreover, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun are there, so the business will not be delayed.

But what Zhao Jun didn't expect was that these hooligans couldn't wait any longer. They can earn a hundred or eighty yuan by running and collecting in the mountains year after year, but running and collecting in the mountains are not as fast and easy as hunting foxes.

Looking at the fox skins piled up at home, the people of Xishantun are anxious and eager to exchange those fox skins for money.

And the most important thing is that everyone has selfishness.

These days, the people living in a village or a village are united, but no matter how united they are, they are not as good as great unity.

When these people returned home and closed the door, the father and the son, the husband and wife also murmured, muttering about how many fox skins someone had caught, how many were yellow and how many were white; muttering about whose fox skin should be theirs, but they missed the chance to cut it with their stick, and the fox jumped under that person's stick.

Moreover, the people of Xishan Village also doubted the financial resources of the Zhao family. Although Zhao Jun said that he would take as many as he could, they could not imagine how rich Zhao Jun's family was.

When the whole village caught more and more foxes, many people doubted whether Zhao Jun's family could afford so many fox skins? Those who sold them first might get money, but those who sold them later might not get money.

It happened that Tong Youfeng gathered the night patrol team together to discuss things this morning, and someone came to sell skins.

Including last night, these people have been on guard for two nights. So Tong Youfeng suggested that everyone could send the fox skins to his house, and then he would register them in detail.

He would remember clearly how many yellow and gray ones there were. After the statistics are completed, he will bring two or three people to Yong'an to sell fox skins.

Tong Youfeng really wants to do something for the villagers. Although he has selfish motives, he just wants these people to vote for him when electing the village chief.

But when it comes to their own interests, people rarely trust each other.

Except for a few of Tong Youfeng's best friends and neighbors, everyone else declined Tong Youfeng's kindness, and almost everyone wanted to come by themselves.

In the end, it was Zhang Xinglong who said that it would be a bit unreasonable for all 58 households to go. Only three families sent a representative to Yong'an with fox skins.

Looking at these people, Zhao Jun frowned slightly. Half an hour ago, Li Baoyu, Wang Qiang and Xing San went to Yongfu Village to catch the commuter bus.

Now that the two little girls of the Zhao family are in school, Wang Meilan is alone at home. There is no man in the family, and it is not right for Wang Meilan, a woman, to entertain more than a dozen men.

Zhao Jun sighed and said to these people: "I will ride my motorcycle home first and prepare money for you. Don't worry, just go directly."

Zhang Xinglong agreed, and saw Zhao Jun riding away on his motorcycle.

Seeing Zhao Jun coming back, Wang Meilan, who was tidying up the bowl rack in the outer room, was stunned and said: "Son, did you forget something?"

"No, Mom." Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed to the east room, saying: "Go and get more money, the group of people from Xishantun are here to sell fox skins."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was stunned and frowned: "Didn't they say we would go on Sunday? Why are they here?"

"Okay, Mom." Zhao Jun interrupted and said to Wang Meilan: "Since you are here, just hurry up and get the money."

"Okay, Mom knows." Wang Meilan knew why her son came back when she heard it.

Seeing Wang Meilan walking to the east room, Zhao Jun turned and walked out of the house, ignoring the hunting dogs jumping in front of the nest, and he went straight into the warehouse.

There was a cabinet in the Zhao family's warehouse. The cabinet door was locked, and there was some rice and flour inside.

Zhao Jun took off the bear galls hanging on the beams, threw them into the cabinet door, and then closed the cabinet door.

Today, no one was in the Zhao and Li families, and only Jin Xiaomei was next door, so Zhao Jun didn't plan to let those hooligans into the house.

But it was not good to let people stand in the yard, so Zhao Jun asked them to come into the warehouse on the pretext of putting the collected fox skins in the warehouse.

After collecting the bear galls, Zhao Jun came out of the warehouse. At this time, Wang Meilan came over with five bundles of big unity in her hands.

Zhao Jun happened to open the door of the warehouse, and Wang Meilan looked inside and knew what Zhao Jun meant.

This is not Zhao Jun's narrow-mindedness. Why did the Bai Sanzhi family in his previous life get wiped out? Wasn't it because money moved people's hearts?

You can't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.

"Mom." Zhao Jun told Wang Meilan, "Don't let my uncle go up the mountain tomorrow. Let him stay at our house during the day."

"Yes, son." Wang Meilan knew what Zhao Jun meant and nodded, "Mom knows."

Just as the mother and the daughter were talking, Jin Xiaomei walked out of the west yard. Seeing Zhao Jun in the yard, she was very surprised and said, "Xiaojun, why are you back? Did you leave anything behind?"

"No, aunt." Zhao Jun replied, "I'm from Xishan Village selling leather."

"Ah?" Jin Xiaomei was startled and walked out of the yard quickly. Seeing a group of people running over here, she quickly walked into the Zhao family yard.

"This time I'm here to work." Zhao Jun smiled and said to Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei, "Mom, you and my aunt, you can pick leather."

Wang Meilan smiled when she heard this, and at this time, the dogs of the Zhao and Li families all barked.

Immediately afterwards, people from Xishan Village appeared in front of the courtyard gate.

"Come, enter the yard." Zhao Jun raised his hand to greet everyone, saying, "It's okay, the dogs are tied up."

The Xishantun people, led by Zhang Xinglong and Tong Youfeng, entered the Zhao family yard and saw Zhao Jun waving in front of the warehouse door, saying, "They are all fox skins, right? Put them directly in the warehouse."

"Yes, it's okay to put them in the warehouse." Zhang Xinglong said, "Otherwise, the smell is too strong."

These people were eager to cash in on the fox skins. All the fox skins had not been processed, and the skins were smelly and stinky.

The Zhao family warehouse was big enough, and these people followed Zhao Jun in. Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei did not go in, and Wang Meilan pulled Jin Xiaomei who was ready to watch the fun and said, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and order some pine cones."

"Hey!" Jin Xiaomei also saw that those people were carrying sacks on their backs, and she knew that the Chamber of Commerce was going to do something big.

After entering the warehouse, the Xishantun people untied the ropes on their chests and took off the sacks from their backs.

"Let's do it one by one." There was enough room for people to stand in the warehouse, but more than ten sacks could not be spread out on the ground, so Zhao Jun said to everyone: "Let's settle the bills one by one after we finish, so that no one will be wronged."

"Then I'll go first." As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, someone squeezed forward.

At this time, the person in front was not happy, and he pushed his elbow back and said unhappily: "Wait at the back!"

"No one needs to be in a hurry." Seeing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly said: "Come one by one, I want all the skins, what are you afraid of?"

After saying that, Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed at Wu Dalin, saying: "Master Wu, you go first, let me see how much you can get?"

"Haha..." Wu Dalin walked forward two steps happily, bent down and rolled the sack on the ground to unfold it, revealing a pile of fox skins.

This pile of fox skins was divided into three parts, tied with thin hemp ropes, just for three families.

"Oh." Zhao Jun looked at Wu Dalin in surprise and said, "Master Wu, you really did a lot."

"Haha, from our three families." Wu Dalin said, squatting down in front of the sack and untying a stack of fox skins.

So many people came with fox skins, and Zhao Jun needed to inspect the goods and pay for them. So Zhao Jun was not polite, pulled a small stool from the side and sat on it, then turned over and checked each fox skin.

"Master Wu." After checking all the fox skins, Zhao Jun looked up at Wu Dalin and said, "Eighteen gray ones, one yellow one, and two white ones, a total of 235."

"Yes, yes!" Wu Dalin nodded hurriedly, and then heard Zhao Jun say, "Take the rope and tie it up for me, and throw it on the table after you're done."

As he said that, Zhao Jun pointed to the wooden table against the west wall. He knew these hooligans very well, and it was impossible for the hooligans to leave their sacks to him, so Zhao Jun asked Wu Dalin to tie the fox skins with ropes.

"Hey, hey!" Wu Dalin piled the fox skins together and tied the fox neck and tail with two thin hemp ropes.

While Wu Dalin was busy, Zhao Jun was not idle either. He took out a stack of big unity from his pocket and counted twenty-four pieces.

When Wu Dalin threw a bundle of fox skins on the table, he turned around and saw Zhao Jun handing him money.

"Master Wu, check it." Zhao Jun said to Wu Dalin: "This is two hundred and four."

"Ah?" Wu Dalin thought Zhao Jun was going to give him more. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Zhao Jun say: "I don't have change. If anyone has change later, and is five yuan short, I will give him five yuan less. After that, you two go back and make up."

"Okay, Master Zhao." Wu Dalin understood what Zhao Jun meant. He unbuttoned his cotton jacket and stuffed the money into the inner pocket of the cotton jacket.

At this time, Zhao Jun looked at Zhang Xinglong and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, come here."

"Hey!" Zhang Xinglong rolled up the sack, revealing a piece of fox skin. After checking, Zhao Jun said to Zhang Xinglong: "Uncle Zhang, you have 15 gray, 1 yellow, and 1 white, a total of 185. I'll give you 180. You can go back to Master Wu to get the remaining 5 yuan."

As he said, Zhao Jun handed Zhang Xinglong 18 big unity. Zhang Xinglong happily took the money, his old face was full of joy.

"Master Tong." When Zhao Jun called the next person, Zhang Xinglong suddenly interrupted: "Xiao, uncle wants to tell you something."

"Go ahead, Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun asked patiently: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xinglong: "Our village is in trouble."

This chapter is short of 1,000 words, and I will make up for 4,000 tomorrow.

The price of fox skin has changed, gray is still 10 yuan, yellow is 15, and white is 20. If there is red, it will be 40.
