The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Chapter 517 Rural Witch Doctor——Ma Ling (September monthly ticket adds 1135)

It's late at night. If the dog bites like this, there must be some wild beast nearby.

Zhang Laibao immediately got out of bed, got off the bed, put on his shoes and clothes, took off the shotgun hanging behind the door, opened the door and went outside.

He came out of the shack, followed closely by Xu Guohua, Jiang Ershuan, and Zheng Jinming. Although they did not have guns, they were all willing to stand up for Zhang Laibao.

Zhang Laibao looked up and saw two dogs and two bears tied to the west, both barking wildly toward the east. In the kennel to the east, the black tiger lay there obediently, with only his head exposed and resting on the ground outside the kennel.

Zhang Laibao did not suspect that the black tiger was the monster, but only turned his attention to the east. His dogs and bears did not recognize black bears or brown bears, but recognized wild boars and roe deer, and some small beasts, such as honey dogs, greyhounds, and badgers. Yes, these can also cause dogs to bark.

"I'll get up early tomorrow and sneak out!" Zhang Laibao made a decision in his heart. At this time, as the black tiger became more honest, the two dogs and the two bears also became quiet.

"Have you got something to pass by?" Zheng Jinming said, "The dogs have stopped barking. Let's go back to sleep."

Several people felt that what Zheng Jinming said was reasonable, so they all returned to the shack, took off their clothes and went to sleep on the kang.

But when I wake up unexpectedly and go out to do a lot of work, it will be difficult to sleep again. Moreover, as soon as the four people entered the shack and got on the kang, the black tiger outside raised his head again. Without leaving the kennel, he started baring his teeth at the black dog opposite.

"Woof woof..."

"Ouch..."

Dogs barked and bears roared in a chaotic mess. The four people in the room couldn't hear the black tiger's baring teeth in protest, but they could hear the two dogs barking and the two bears roaring clearly.

"What's this again?" Zhang Laibao sat up from the kang, but Jiang Ershuan said: "Laibao, don't go. It's so late at night, we can't fight even if we go out."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Laibao felt that what Jiang Ershuan said made sense, so he lay down again. They thought it was just a wild beast passing by Lenchang, causing the dog to bark. I thought that when the beast was gone, the dog would stop.

But ten minutes later, two dogs and two bears were still barking!

Zhang Laibao couldn't help it. Not to mention anything else, the dogs kept barking and the bears kept roaring, making it hard for people to sleep!

Not only Zhang Laibao, but also the other three people couldn't sleep. So, following Zhang Laibao's greeting, Xu Guohua and the others all got up from the kang, ready to go out to find out.

When the four people came out of the shack, they found that the four dogs were still pointing eastward, barking and biting!

Opposite them, the moment the black tiger opened the shack door, he put his head on the ground and became silent and motionless.

No one doubted it, and they all looked to the east. Xu Guohua said with some confusion: "The dogs barked like this, let alone the wild boars, even the black blind man scared them away!"

Everyone who lives in the mountain forest area knows that when wild boars enter the crop fields, it is useless to beat gongs, drums and firecrackers, but as long as you tie a dog on the edge of the field and the dog barks, the wild boars will run away.

These two dogs have been barking for a long time. It’s time for the wild boar and black bear to leave. Is it possible that the wild boar and black bear can still live in the east of Lengchang?

"Ouch!" Suddenly, Zheng Jinming let out a strange cry and said, "The dog is barking like this, could it be something else?"

As soon as Zheng Jinming said this, Zhang Laibao and others all turned their heads and looked at him. Zheng Jinming said, "Could it be a big claw?"

"Oh my god!" Jiang Ershuan felt his scalp numb when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Brother Zheng, don't scare me!"

"What am I trying to scare you for?" Zheng Jinming said, "If it's not a big paw, what can make a dog look like this?"

"Stop talking, stop talking." Xu Guohua quickly pushed Zhang Laibao into the house, and at the same time said to Jiang Ershuan and Zheng Jinming: "Hurry into the house."

As the black tiger stopped provoking, the dog and bear gradually became quiet. The four of them entered the house, but none of them could fall asleep.

One by one, they were holding quilts and sitting on the kang against the wall. Zhang Laibao even put a gun in front of his legs.

Jiang Ershuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go down and bring up the axe."

Hearing Jiang Ershuan say that he should use sharp weapons to defend himself, Zheng Jinming echoed: "There are also knives."

"Yeah." Jiang Ershuan agreed, lifted the blanket and prepared to get off the bed, but the moment one of his feet touched his shoe, he suddenly heard a dog barking outside.

"Oh my God!" Jiang Ershuan turned over and climbed onto the kang. Zhang Laibao quickly picked up the gun and pointed it towards the door of the shack.

Jiang Ershuan wrapped himself in the quilt, and then said to the three of them: "It must be the big claw, it's back again!"

"Yeah!" Xu Guohua, who was huddled in the quilt, moved his body close to Zhang Laibao. At this time, only the gun in Zhang Laibao's hand could bring Xu Guohua a sense of security.

But Zhang Laibao was unsure. Since he went up the mountain, he had only shot wild boars and roe deer that had been trapped, and he had never even measured a black blind man, let alone a big claw.

In this way, the four of them sat and stayed awake all night. It was around four o'clock in the morning, just before dawn, when the dogs and bears outside stopped barking. But even then, Zhang Laibao and the others still didn't dare to leave the house.

Unlike them, Zhao Jun had already gotten up at this time. It was a cold morning, so he and his ministers put on thick clothes, came out of the house, and prepared to go to the countryside to find dogs.

But as soon as he came out of the house, Zhao Jun saw chicken feathers and chicken bones next to the bear's kennel.

I came back late yesterday and didn't see clearly. At this time, Zhao Jun looked next to Xiao Xiong and suddenly had a guess in his heart.

Zhao Jun's family and Li Baoyu's family both have chickens, but the chickens from both families are locked in cages. Moreover, the chickens from both families are native chickens with yellowish-brown feathers with black spots.

The chicken feathers found next to the little bear's kennel were red.

Therefore, Zhao Jun guessed that Black Tiger went out to steal the chicken while there was no one at home. First, he stole a chicken and brought it to the little bear to flatter him. Then he went out to steal it again and never came back.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun thought that the black tiger went out to steal the chicken and got lost, and subjectively denied the inference that the black tiger was stolen.

At this moment, Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai walked out of the courtyard next door. Li Baoyu wanted to help Zhao Jun find the dog. As for Li Ruhai, I heard that he volunteered to follow them.

The four people came out from home and divided into two groups to search for the dog in the village. They found it at half past six. They even searched around the village but couldn't find the black tiger.

When Zhao Jun and Jie Chen returned home, the food was already on the table, including cabbage stewed with vermicelli, potatoes, and big pancakes.

This big pancake was made by Jin Xiaomei, saying that it was for breakfast. At noon, the leftover pancake was fried so that it could be dipped in sugar syrup for the children.

In response, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na cheered for a while, but Zhao Jun was a little depressed.

Losing the black tiger made him feel quite uncomfortable, and he had no appetite at all.

In this way, Zhao Jun had a brief meal and went back to his room. At this time, Zhao Youcai took a sip of vegetable soup, put down the bowl and sighed.

Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "Why are you sighing?"

Wang Meilan knew that Zhao Youcai was also thinking about the black tiger, but she was waiting for Zhao Youcai to say so that she could take the opportunity to say something to Zhao Youcai. Wang Meilan was ready to say something like "I miss the dog. You were so drunk last night."

But what she didn't expect was that Zhao Youcai shook his head slightly and said, "My Dahei."

"What?" Wang Meilan was stunned, not understanding what the old boy was talking about.

After resting in the house for a while, Zhao Jun took Jie Chen out to look for the dog again. This time they went from house to house in the village to inquire. In addition to asking who had seen his black tiger, they also asked who had lost their chicken. Infer some clues.

After getting the news, Xu Meihua hurriedly went home to report the news to Zhang Zhanshan, who laughed loudly after hearing it. But he knew that Zhao Jun would not come to his home.

When Zhao Jun found Ma Ling's house, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. He was standing outside the courtyard, looking around, when he heard Ma Ling's voice coming from behind him: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Jun looked back and saw Ma Ling standing not far away holding an earthen basket. The girl was looking at him with a smile on her face.

Zhao Jun walked over to meet Ma Ling and saw that Ma Ling's earthen basket seemed to be filled with some kind of seedling poles, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Mount Gu Niang!" Ma Ling picked up the basket and said with a smile, "Do you have a problem with me?"

Mushrooms are a specialty fruit in the Northeast. The yellow mushrooms grown at home are sweet, while the wild mushrooms in the mountains are red and taste slightly sour and bitter. Only when there is frost in autumn, the mountain mushrooms that have been beaten by the frost will have the slightest sweetness.

This mountain mushroom has certain medicinal value. Dried and soaked in water, it can clear away heat and detoxify. If you drink it for a long time, it can also treat pharyngitis.

Twenty years later, people in the city would buy this for ten yuan a pound. But now, few people in the countryside eat this.

Ma Ling didn't eat this either, and when she picked the mountain mushroom mother, she threw away the mountain mushroom mother, but picked back the stalks from the mountain mushroom mother's seedlings.

This girl acted like this not because she had a disease in her head, but because Ma Ling inherited a folk remedy from her grandmother.

The old lady of the Ma family is not only superstitious, but also proficient in various folk remedies.

As the old saying goes: Home remedies cure all diseases!

Others don't believe this, but Zhao Jun does. And his belief in folk remedies all stems from Ma Ling.

Remembering that in her previous life, her son had a high fever, and Ma Ling asked Zhao Jun to accompany her to pick mountain mushrooms. It is said that they can just collect it and boil water for the children to drink.

Zhao Jun didn't believe this. Not only did he not go, he even gave Ma Ling a slap in the face. It was night, and Ma Ling didn't dare to go out of the village by herself, so she went back to her parents' house to find Ma Yang, and asked him to accompany her to the village overnight, where she gathered some mushroom rice and brought it back to boil water. Then, under Zhao Jun's hand, he poured the boiled water into the little boy's mouth. Within half an hour, the child's fever subsided.

From then on, Ma Ling became very powerful. Within a year, she was even better than Han Shang in this village.

From internal medicine prescriptions to fevers and colds, especially when it comes to treating postpartum women without breast milk, Ma Ling is here to take care of them all.

But this is all a matter for later, now Zhao Jun is only thinking about Black Tiger. Therefore, Zhao Jun said to Ma Ling: "I really have something to do with you. My dog ​​is lost. I want to ask you, are our family members watching?"

"Oops!" Ma Ling was shocked when she heard this. She didn't understand hunting, but she knew that Zhao Jun's dogs were not simple. Losing one would be a big loss, so she said to Zhao Jun anxiously: "I didn't see it. Wait, what kind of dog is that? My dad is still home, and Ma Yang has gone to school. When they come back, I will ask you."

In this family of four, only Ma Ling and Wang Cuihua are at home now. Wang Cuihua has not been out for several days because her feet were burned. Where can she go to see Zhao Jun's dog?

"Well, when they come back, you can help me ask." Zhao Jun was anxious to find the dog, so he waved to Ma Ling and said, "Go back to the house quickly and bring a good boy to my aunt. I won't Went in to see her."

"Hey." Ma Ling also waved to Zhao Jun and asked: "Slow down!"

Zhao Jun searched the village all day long. In addition to Zhang Zhanshan, Qin Qiang, and Tao Ersheng, he even asked about the Bai Yunxiu family he hated most, but there was still no news about Black Tiger.

As for those three families, Zhao Jun asked Xu Changlin to help him make some insinuations and found nothing unusual, so Zhao Jun didn't take it to heart.

At this time, he still believed that the black tiger had stolen the chicken and got lost. He did not think about the possibility of Zhang Laibao stealing the dog. Instead, he thought about going to visit the southern land in the afternoon to see if the black tiger would be there.

At noon, we eat fried big pancakes dipped in sugar syrup. The fried golden pancakes are dipped in sweet syrup, which is fragrant and sweet.

And this glutinous rice juice was not the bottom of the bottle that Liu Mei gave to Li Ruhai, but was brewed by Jin Xiaomei herself. It's just that Li Ruhai brought back the beet dumplings that were cooked in sugar.

Jin Xiaomei cut the beetroot into thin strips early in the morning, put it in a large pot and added water. When the beetroot was submerged, she lit a fire and added firewood to cook over high heat until the water in the pot turned yellow.

At this time, the sugar in the beet comes out.

Then, take out the beetroot shreds, squeeze out the water in the beetroot shreds, and then simmer the squeezed out beet juice with the juice in the pot over low heat until it becomes as viscous as honey. This syrup is considered good.

Corn flour pancakes are very oily, which makes them more fragrant the more you chew them. Dip it in sugar syrup and it tastes amazing!

At this time, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na were gathered around the kang table, and the little girl was eating deliciously. Wang Meilan and Xie Chen were a little worried about Black Tiger, but they didn't stop them from eating.

Only Zhao Jun, because the black tiger was lost, was really anxious and angry, and he couldn't eat no matter how delicious the food was.

After simply eating two pancakes, Zhao Jun went back to his room to rest. After searching all morning and all morning, he was a little tired.

Zhao Jun had just fallen asleep when someone pushed him awake. He heard Jie Chen say in his ear: "Brother Jun, my sister-in-law is here."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun sat up from the kang, looked at Jie Chen in surprise, and asked, "Is your sister-in-law here? Is your brother here?"

"Haha." Zhao Jun's words made Jie Chen amused. He said: "It's not my sister-in-law, it's your date!"

Only then did Zhao Jun realize that the sister-in-law Jie Chen mentioned just now was Ma Ling.

Zhao Jun hurriedly moved his legs to get off the kang. While putting on his shoes, Zhao Jun casually asked: "Did she say anything, what did she come to do?"

Jie Chen smiled and said, "My sister-in-law said she would help you find a dog!"
