The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Today is the sixth day of spring hunting for Yongxing Brigade.

It has to be said that after the previous five days of hunting, there were far fewer traces of wild beasts in the nearby Baili Mountain Field.

The few who were killed were either killed or hid because they felt in danger.

On the way up the mountain, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu also found some animal footprints. But the two of them paddled in the mountains all morning, but they didn't catch anything.

This made Li Baoyu on the side sigh a little, lamenting that it would be nice if there was a dog beside him at this time.

After all, dogs can not only track, but also smell, while humans can only follow the beasts by following their feet.

This is difficult.

Just like Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, they followed a trail of wild boar footprints more than an hour ago. They haven't seen the pig shadow yet, but they discovered a series of roe deer footprints.

Seeing that the roe deer's footprints were relatively new, they followed the roe deer's footprints all the way over the mountains and hills. On the way downhill, when they were almost at the bottom of the ditch and pond, Zhao Jun discovered that there was a nest of four roe deer on the opposite uphill slope. He had just finished nibbling on the small buds on the tree branch and was continuing to walk up.

These four roe deers, some big and small, were nearly 400 meters apart from Zhao Jun in a straight line.

Seeing the group of roe deer starting from small steps to long strides, Zhao Jun knew that it would be difficult to chase him when he went down the ditch and pond and then onto the opposite post.

So he took off the gun and aimed it at his face. He felt that the angle was not good, so he put the gun away and looked left and right.

Then he leaned against a big poplar tree nearby, sank down, and sat directly on the tree's legs.

He held the gun to his face, aimed at the enlarged roe deer walking on the opposite hillside, flipped the safety, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The gun was not lowered to the face, and he shot three times in a row.

From the gun star, Zhao Jun could see that the first shot hit nothing, and the same was true for the second shot.

But with the third shot, after the bullet passed through the neck of one roe deer, it hit one of the hind legs of another roe deer.

Wearing sugar-coated haws on a stick, you can kill two people with one shot.

Seeing a roe deer fall, Zhao Jun shouted to Li Baoyu and said: "Baoyu, go quickly and open the roe deer's chest."

Just now when Zhao Jun was aiming his gun at the roe deer, Li Baoyu happened to find a small tree of suitable thickness next to him. He immediately cut the tree with a knife and was about to stab the roe deer, thinking that the roe deer was still alive so he could make up for it.

But at this time, Zhao Jun asked him to disembowel the roe deer, so there was no need to use the knife. Li Baoyu ran down with the knife in one hand and the stick in the other.

But as soon as he took two steps, Li Baoyu came back. "Brother, why don't you chase the injured one first?"

Zhao Jun pointed forward and said: "That roe deer has a broken leg. How far can it run? Hurry up and disembowel the dead beast. The flesh and blood will not taste good."

Compared with wild boars and black bears, the roe deer is much easier to open. Li Baoyu ran very fast. By the time Zhao Jun came over, he had already disemboweled the roe deer and drained all the blood.

"Throw it here first." Zhao Jun said to Li Baoyu: "Let's chase that one quickly. It can't run very far uphill."

For a four-legged animal, going uphill requires the strength of the hind legs. This roe deer must not be able to run very far if one of its hind legs is broken.

The two chased up for three to five hundred meters when suddenly a gust of mountain wind blew by. Not only did the wind make the tree branches rattle, but there were also "squeaking" and "squeaking" sounds in the wind.

This is the sound the roe deer makes when it is attacked.

Zhao Jun frowned when he heard this, and Li Baoyu also said: "Brother, what should we do?"

It was obvious that someone had intercepted the roe deer above. If Zhao Jun went over now, the roe deer would have something to say.

But the roe deer legs were discounted by Zhao Jun. It is impossible for Zhao Jun to let go now. This is not about missing a bite of meat, but about the rules.

"Let's go." Zhao Jun called to Li Baoyu, then put his gun on his shoulder and strode up.

But not long after the two of them walked up, they saw a black dog biting the butt of a roe deer, and one of the roe deer's hind legs was missing a section of the calf.

It turned out that the roe deer was not robbed by humans, but caught by dogs.

But Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu glanced around a few times, but no dog owner was seen.

In this case, there is something to say again.

If there is a dog owner present, the two families will share half of the roe deer.

But if the dog owner is not around, then just beat the roe deer to death and then disembowel it.

If the dog owner has not yet arrived after the disembowelment is completed, leave enough food for the dog and then drag the roe deer away. There is no need to leave any meat.

But if the dog owner comes while disemboweling, give him a hind thigh.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Jun glanced at Li Baoyu. Li Baoyu understood and did not strike. He just put away the knife, then stepped forward with the stick in both hands, and hit the back of the roe deer's head with two sticks. .

With a wail, the roe deer softened and fell to the snow.

Li Baoyu thrust the stick aside, stretched out his hands and threw them forward together, knocking the dog aside.

Not to mention that this dog really didn't recognize life. As soon as Li Baoyu chased it away, he let go of the roe deer and just lay aside, wagging his tail and looking at Li Baoyu, waiting for him to feed him.

"Brother." Li Baoyu turned his head, looked at Zhao Jun, and said with a smile: "This dog is very good. Isn't he afraid of life?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jun came closer and saw that the black dog didn't bar his teeth at him, so he thought the dog was pretty good and immediately said to Li Baoyu, "Baoyu, cut open the dog and feed it to the dog."

"What are you doing?" Li Baoyu asked.

Zhao Jun thought for a while and then said: "Feed him half full. It's only noon. What if the owner of his dog wants to fight him in the afternoon? It's not good if we feed his dog and delay the matter any longer."

"That's done." Li Baoyu responded, then he disemboweled the roe deer, cut out its heart, and threw the two halves in front of the dog.

The dog picked up the heart of the roe deer and chewed it in its mouth. Even if Zhao Jun stood beside it, it would not protect its food.

Zhao Jun kept looking at the black dog. It weighed about eighty kilograms, had sharp ears and a tiger-like head.

After the dog finished eating a whole roe deer heart, his master did not come. But it was time for Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu to go back. They shot two roe deer this morning, so their trip was not in vain.

According to the old rules, Li Baoyu dragged the prey away by himself.

He turned his back to the roe deer, grabbed the two hind legs with both hands, and pulled the roe deer away like a cart.

But what Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu didn't expect was that as soon as they left, the black dog got up and followed them down.

Seeing the black dog following him, Li Baoyu asked Zhao Jun again: "Brother, what's going on?"

"How can we deal with it?" Zhao Jun glanced at the black dog, then turned to Li Baoyu and smiled: "How can we deal with it? If it wants to follow by itself, let's lead it."

"Take it home?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded. The black dog looked good and said, "It wants to follow, but we can't chase it away. Let's take it back first. When Yongxing confronts us, we'll find Uncle Tao. Let him ask around to see who has lost his dog. If someone comes looking for him, we will give him the dog."

"Ah!" When Zhao Jun said this, Li Baoyu understood, and he said: "If no one is looking for it, let's keep it first."

"That's right." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "It just so happens that our dogs are all injured. If no one looks for them, we will use them first."

When Li Baoyu heard this, he also laughed. A person who is besieging someone can borrow a gun and return it, but if someone borrows a dog, they usually don't return it.

But this dog was neither stolen nor robbed. Take it back first. If no one comes looking for it, then we can discuss whether the dog’s surname will be Zhao or Li from now on.

When they got below, they saw the roe deer that Zhao Jun had beaten before. Zhao Jun thought for a while and asked Li Baoyu to stop. Then he took out his knife, shaved the meat from the belly of the roe deer, and fed it to the black dog one by one.

Since you want to take the dog back, you have to feed it.

When the dog was full, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu each dragged a roe deer, and the dog followed slowly and leisurely.

All the way back to the Yongxing brigade, the dog did not jump forward and kept following Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu.

At this time, Zhao Jun understood that this dog was probably not raised by someone from the Yongxing team, and was thrown into the mountains by its owner.

The two dragged the roe deer back to Tao Xiaobao's house, and the black dog followed them into the hospital. Seeing it coming in, Xiaohua screamed at it.

This black dog not only refuses to accept life, but is also honest. Xiaohua yelled at it, but it didn't respond. It just stood there and looked at Xiaohua.

Zhao Jun tied the black dog with a rope to the other side of the shack, where Xiaohua could not reach it, so that the two dogs would not fight.

Hearing a dog barking outside, Li Yunxiang opened the door and took a look. He was surprised and said: "There are only two roe deer this morning...ah, why are there still dogs?"

"I picked it up from the mountains." Zhao Jun smiled and pointed at the roe deer that he pulled back, and said to Li Yunxiang: "Auntie, this roe deer has been put in the lantern hanging. Let Baoyu take it out and let's fry it." Eat."

"Okay, okay, then I'll pick the green onions." Li Yunxiang agreed, and went into the house to ask Tao Fei to come out and pick the roe deer with Li Baoyu.

Zhao Jun went out to the brigade headquarters.

When he came to the brigade headquarters, he found that Tao Dabao was not there, and only secretary Yu Xuewen was in the room.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was coming, Yu Xuewen was very enthusiastic. Ever since he caught the tiger that day, Yu Xuewen felt that this young man Zhao Jun had ideas and abilities and would definitely be able to make a difference in the future. Even he, Yu Xuewen, was willing to get close to Zhao Jun and make friends again.

Zhao Jun came over, originally wanting to tell Tao Dabao that he had picked up the dog and ask him to help find the dog's owner.

This kind of thing is the same with Yu Xuewen when Tao Dabao is not here.

When Yu Xuewen heard Zhao Jun explain his purpose, he even praised Zhao Jun for picking up a dog. Zhao Jun didn't feel ashamed about this, and just asked Yu Xuewen to ask him to help ask in each team. If someone has lost enough dogs, let him go to Tao Xiaobao's house to look for them.

Yu Xuewen readily agreed.

Then, Zhao Jun said goodbye and left. When he returned to Tao Xiaobao's house, he saw Li Baoyu and Tao Fei skinning a roe deer in the yard, while Tao Fulin stood aside with his hands behind his back and watched the two boys working.

Zhao Jun picked up his hands and joined in.

But after a while, Li Yunxiang came out and asked them to come in to eat, and she took over the unfinished roe deer.

Originally, Li Yunxiang prepared frozen tofu and stewed potatoes at noon today. The main dish was steamed sticky bean buns, with stew on the bottom and steamed bean buns on top, all in one pot.

After Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu dragged the roe deer back, she followed Zhao Jun's instructions and blanched the heart, liver, and belly of the roe deer into slices to make the green onions rich in oil and stir-fry.

In this way, this lunch is both meat and vegetable.

At the same time, in the cafeteria of Yongan Forest Farm.

While having lunch here, there was a long queue in the cafeteria, but there was only window No. 1, and only a few people lined up.

"Brother." Li Dayong threw the opened aluminum lunch box toward the window and called Zhao Youcai: "Four steamed buns, one dish."

I remember that on the first day of operation at the forestry farm, not only did the dishes include meat, but the staple food also included hanaki.

Today, the only dishes are cabbage and potatoes stewed. As for the staple food, there is only cornmeal steamed buns.

The stewed vermicelli is long and soft, and it will easily fall out if it is not filled properly. Therefore, Zhao Youcai picked up Li Dayong's lunch box with one hand and stirred it in the pot with a large spoon in the other hand. A large spoonful was placed in the iron lunch box.

Normally, one scoop is one serving. But it was Li Dayong who came to bring food. Is this spoonful enough?

When the second spoon is put into the lunch box, the aluminum lunch box will be full. In Northeastern dialect, it is: a box with a pointed top.

Then, Zhao Youcai put down the iron spoon, took the wooden clamp, and clamped the steamed buns for Li Dayong from the cage.

Just as Zhao Youcai was putting the steamed buns on the lid of the lunch box, Li Dayong handed the meal ticket to Zhao Youcai and said to him: "Brother, it's almost time for those two boys to come back, right?"

"Who knows?" Zhao Youcai said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Li Dayong smiled and said, "Then you don't want a son?"

"I don't want to." Zhao Youcai said: "If you love me back, don't come back. It's better not to come back."

Just as the two of them were talking, Wu Feng, who was with two people behind Li Dayong, suddenly rushed forward and said: "Master Zhao, your Zhao Jun is very powerful!"

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai looked up at Wu Feng and asked, "What's wrong? What trouble did that kid cause outside?"

"No, Master Zhao, what are you thinking about?" Wu Feng said to Zhao Youcai: "We have a big claw in Yongxing, and no one can stop it. In the end, it was Zhao Jun from the Qian family who caught the big claw. of."

"What?" Not to mention Zhao Youcai, even Li Dayong almost threw away the cornbread and vegetables in his hands when he heard Wu Feng's words.

Wu Feng looked at Li Dayong, nodded and said: "Your son also followed, but I don't know whether he stretched out his hand or not. Anyway, when I went home yesterday, I heard someone say that Zhao Jun is very powerful, and he can do it with just a tree fork." I was beaten into the snow by a tiger."

This is true, but if we talk about Zhao Jun alone, it sounds a bit mysterious.

Zhao Youcai said nothing and looked straight at Wu Feng.

Li Dayong turned around and saw Zhao Youcai like this, so he looked at Wu Feng and asked, "Old Wu, are you disobeying me? Can a human grasp those big claws?"

"Can we still serve as servants?" Wu Feng frowned and said loudly: "The big paws carried them back like pigs, and my son even went to see them. I'll go home and listen to them. , I went there too, it’s indeed a big paw.”

"Caught by Zhao Jun?" At this time, Zhao Youcai's voice came from the cafeteria window.

"That's not possible." Wu Feng said, "Our secretary and director have said that we will give Zhao Jun a certificate."

After Wu Feng finished speaking, he didn't see any joy on Zhao Youcai's face, but he didn't think much about it. After all, no father would not want his son to show his face outside. He only thought it was what he said, and Zhao Youcai couldn't believe it.

These days, people eat quickly. After more than 20 minutes, the canteen that was crowded not long ago was now empty.

"Brother." Li Dayong opened the white cloth curtain, walked out of the kitchen, and said to Zhao Youcai who was sitting on a long stool: "I asked Lao Wu, those two boys really let the Yongxing Brigade catch a tiger."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai sat up straight and asked in surprise. : "How were you caught?"

"I don't know about this." Li Dayong sat down next to him and said to Zhao Youcai: "Anyway, I heard that Zhao Jun was the one who took the lead. The entire Yongxing Brigade listened to him, but his face was exposed."

Hearing this, Zhao Youcai didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Dayong, who knew him best, said in a low voice: "Brother, there is something to be learned about hunting. These two boys went up the mountain the first year, and the mountain god always used his head to reward the food."

"You can pull him down." Zhao Youcai said, "They have all arrested the Mountain God!"
