The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Xu Changlin's intention was obvious. He only wanted to kill the lynx and avenge his three former dogs.

He didn't care if the lynx died as a whole body or if it was torn into pieces.

He didn't care whether the lynx skin could still be sold for money, he just wanted the lynx to die.

The old man's affection for the dog is very admirable, but Zhao Jun cannot agree.

There is no benefit at all, just take your own dog to avenge other people's dogs. What if your own dog is taken advantage of?

Being rejected by Zhao Jun, Xu Changlin was not in a hurry and just said: "Man, please listen to me first. I will definitely not let you work on this matter in vain. You must avenge me. When you are done, you can go home with me." I have a tiger cub skin at home, I will give it to you."

As soon as Xu Changlin said this, Zhao Jun felt something was wrong. If Xu Changlin loved dogs, he would chase the black bear for those three dogs. Zhao Jun believed this.

But to say that he could give up a lynx skin just to avenge the dog, Zhao Jun didn't believe anything he said.

That’s more than a thousand yuan!

Seeing that Zhao Jun was silent, Xu Changlin said again: "Man, if you don't believe it, do you think this is okay? Come to my house tomorrow before you go up the mountain. I will give you the leather, and you keep it first. It's about to be beaten. This The skin is yours. But if you don't touch that tiger cub, you can give me the skin again."

"Then if we bumped into him and didn't surround him, my dog ​​would still be dead?" At this point, Zhao Jun was no longer polite.

You, Xu Changlin, only said that you didn't encounter a lynx, but if you encounter a lynx and something happens to my four dogs again, will you give me the lynx skin?

"Here!" Xu Changlin was very happy, and Zhao Jun couldn't believe it.

Xu Changlin smiled and said, "You will know if you come with me tomorrow and I will ensure that it cannot hurt your dog."

Despite Xu Changlin's assurance, Zhao Jun still said: "Master Xu, we have agreed that if we go to that place and it doesn't work, I can bring the dog back."

"That's no problem." Xu Changlin first agreed, and then said like a joke: "When the time comes, if you really lead the dog away, I won't be able to stop you."

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this and said: "Master Xu, my family is still alive. I will go back first."

"Ah, ah, go back." The old man waved his hand to Zhao Jun, indicating that he should go home quickly.

Zhao Jun had just turned around and taken two steps when he heard Xu Changlin shout: "Man, tell your parents that we have to live on the mountain tomorrow night."

"Live on the mountain?" Hearing what Xu Changlin said, Zhao Jun frowned suddenly. At this time, he thought of the four Hei Wuchang outside Yong'an Village that morning.

The old man nodded and said: "Tomorrow we will circle it and let you see if it works. If you say no, you will bring the dog back. If it works, we will stay in the mountains for the night and get up early the next day to hunt it. "

Zhao Jun thinks Xu Changlin's suggestion is good. If he feels unsafe when he arrives at the place tomorrow, he will bring the dog back instead of taking that risk.

And the old man said so, so there must be a place to live, so that he wouldn't have to spend a night in the ice and snow.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun asked: "Master Xu, where can we live?"

Xu Changlin said: "There is a man named Xing San. You may not have heard of it, but if you ask your dad, he will definitely know. That old man is hiding in the mountains and pressing down on the ground. We have a good relationship. Let's go to his place to deal with him. One night.”

Zhao Jun blurted out and asked: "Xing Zhiyong, his old uncle?"

"Who?" This time it was Xu Changlin who was confused.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Then I'll find you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll go back."

"Master Xu, can I get you some black blind meat?"

"No, there's no shortage of food at home."

Looking at Xu Changlin's retreating back, Zhao Jun felt very happy. He originally planned to go to Xing Zhiyong in the spring and ask Xing Zhiyong to help introduce him so that he could order something from Xing San.

But now, there should be no need to trouble Xing Zhiyong.

When Zhao Jun returned to his courtyard, Wang Meilan asked: "Then why does the old man want to see you?"

"He came to me for hunting." Zhao Jun did not tell the truth. He only said: "He didn't listen to anyone who said he saw a black blind man's barn and asked me to take the dog with him."

With that said, Zhao Jun patted Li Baoyu beside him and said, "Baoyu, take Da Huang and follow me tomorrow."

"okay."

At this time, Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei: "Mom, Auntie, the place we go back to is far away. We two brothers will have to stay overnight in a shack in the mountains tomorrow."

"Where is it? So far away?" Wang Meilan asked.

"The old man didn't say anything."

After the four of them cleaned up the black blind man, Jin Xiaomei and Li Baoyu went home with half of the bear meat. Zhao Jun followed Wang Meilan into the house and saw Zhao Youcai sitting on the kang sewing cotton trousers.

Zhao Jun did not dare to ask directly. He glanced at Wang Meilan, but Wang Meilan ignored him at all.

Wang Meilan stretched out her hand to open the lid of the big pot, and saw seven marinated rabbits soaking in the sauce soup in the pot. Wang Meilan used the fence to fish out the rabbits one by one and put them into the big basin.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was still beside him, Wang Meilan said to him: "Son, you have been busy all day. Go inside and rest. Mom will smoke rabbit for you."

"Okay." Zhao Jun agreed and went back to his room.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard Wang Meilan chanting in front of the stove: "Look at my son. He went up the mountain today to pick up rabbits and drag the blind man."

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound came from the east room, as if something fell on the kang.

Wang Meilan worked in the outer room by herself. After catching the rabbit, she started making miso soup. Then she washed the pot, heated oil, and stewed a pot of wild boar with cabbage, vermicelli, and vermicelli.

Put a curtain on top of the stewed vegetables, and steam the Erhe noodle buns on the curtain.

The steamed buns and vegetables came out of the pot. Wang Meilan cleaned the pot again, put millet on the bottom of the pot, and placed the sauced rabbit on the lid.

As the pot heats up, the millet steams and the aroma of incense spreads.

A few minutes later, Wang Meilan picked up the pot and picked up the rabbits, which were smoked into maroon red, on two plates.

"Son, send it to your Uncle Li's house quickly. Come back for dinner as soon as you're done."

Zhao Jun carried a plate with four smoked rabbits and went out of the house. As soon as he went out, he saw Li Baoyu in the yard next door, walking from the door of the yard to the door of the house.

"Baoyu!" Zhao Jun handed the plate over the wall.

Li Baoyu took the plate and smelled it, his eyes lit up and he said, "It smells good."

"Go back and eat quickly."

"Well, well." Li Baoyu was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother, what time should we leave tomorrow morning."

"It's eight o'clock." Zhao Jun looked around and saw no one around, so he whispered to Li Baoyu: "I'm telling you, don't tell others, we are going to fight tiger cubs with old Xu Pao tomorrow."

"Tiger... cub!" Li Baoyu's eyes brightened when he heard this. He glanced at Zhao Jun's house and asked in a low voice: "What about my uncle?"

"Don't tell him!" Zhao Jun said: "I heard what Old Xu Pao said. The tiger cub is not at the jumping stone pond where my dad and the others went. Let's take another way."

Li Baoyu said excitedly to Zhao Jun: "Brother, do we call it concealing the truth from the sky, or do we call it secretly hiding from Chen Cang?"

Zhao Jun glanced at Li Baoyu and said with a smile: "You have read so many books, and you don't even know it, and you still come to ask me."
