The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Over the past year, the conditions of the Zhao and Li families have become better and better, and there is no shortage of meat.

But bear meat tastes like bear meat, and wild boar meat tastes like wild boar meat. Li Ruhai eats a lot of meat from mountain animals, but he only eats chicken only a handful of times throughout the year.

I finally looked at the chicken today, but it’s been so long, what has Li Ruhai eaten?

A chicken head and a chicken foot.

If I eat another chicken foot, there will probably be only mushrooms left in the pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Seeing Li Ruhai's aggrieved look, both Zhao Jun and the ministers laughed. Zhao Jun held the chicken feet between his legs and said to Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, big brother, tell you, if you don't do it, I'll tell Ma Yang everything."

"Ah?" Li Ruhai's eyes widened. This child was precocious. He knew just now that Zhao Jun was trying to deal with him, but he didn't know why.

At this time, Li Ruhai was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Jun mention Ma Yang. He tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly felt even more aggrieved. He said to Zhao Jun with an unconvinced look: "Brother, I didn't say anything to him. .”

In Li Ruhai's opinion, what he said was just chatting and harmless.

"Come, eat." When Zhao Jun heard that Li Ruhai refused to admit it, he held the chicken feet and sent it to Li Ruhai.

"Brother, big brother." Li Ruhai nervously covered his bowl, his face was distorted, his eyebrows were twisted into splayed eyebrows, and he said to Zhao Jun: "I won't say a word to him in the future, okay?"

"That's not the case." Zhao Jun turned back and put the chicken feet into his bowl, and then said to Li Ruhai: "I don't care if you two are chatting normally. But that... oops."

After saying that, Zhao Jun sighed lightly and then said: "Don't tell him about men and women. He is young and hasn't developed this talent yet, so don't teach him."

Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Jie Chen couldn't hold back his laughter. But it has to be said that these days there are no TVs and no messy books. Jie Chen doesn't understand the specific operations of certain things. In this regard, Jie Chen felt that Li Ruhai might know more than him.

"That's it." Li Ruhai was relieved and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, I understand. I won't tell him any of these adult matters from now on."

"That's right." Zhao Jun smiled at Li Ruhai, stretched his chopsticks into the basin, and picked out a piece of chicken leg meat for Li Ruhai. Although he had taken care of Li Ruhai just now, he and the minister left a few pieces of chicken legs for Li Ruhai in a tacit understanding.

At this time, he put the meat into a bowl for Li Ruhai. Seeing Li Ruhai's little face lifted up instantly, Zhao Jun asked again: "Don't tell anyone about Wang Dalong's matter."

"Yeah, yeah." Li Ruhai nodded repeatedly, and then started to use chopsticks to pick up the meat. At this moment, Zhao Jun grabbed his arm and said seriously: "You kid, don't be in a hurry to eat. That Wang Dalong is your aunt's nephew, how can you tell those things about him? ?

Besides, your brother and I, when we were building that new house, people came over to help us and didn’t ask for the last penny of wages. You are such a villager and say something to others. Old man, you should follow suit, and young man, you should also follow suit. If he really comes here one day, how can we look good? "

After Zhao Jun said this, Li Ruhai was silent for two seconds and then said to Zhao Jun solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I won't say anything about him in the future."

Speaking of this, Li Ruhai grinned and said, "I heard something interesting yesterday."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned, and asked Li Ruhai casually and curiously: "What's the matter? Tell me and I'll listen."

"Hehehe..." Before Li Ruhai could say anything, he was happy. He laughed twice, even put down his chopsticks, and then mysteriously said to Zhao Jun and He Chen: "It's just our Dahuang."

"Rhubarb?" Zhao Jun frowned and asked in surprise, "Why are you even spreading gossip about dogs now?"

"Who spread the gossip about dogs!" Li Ruhai rolled his eyes at Zhao Jun, and then continued: "I haven't finished speaking yet, brother, please don't interrupt."

"Ah, ah." Zhao Jun nodded repeatedly and said, "You go ahead and I won't say anything."

Li Ruhai lowered his body, got close to the Kang table, and said to Zhao Jun on his right and Jie Chen on the opposite side: "This is my Dahuang Taiye."

"Who?" Zhao Jun said not to interrupt, but he still couldn't help it. Why did the big brother Dahuang come out?

Jie Chen was also confused. This was the first time in his life that he heard the dog's family tree being talked about.

Li Ruhai raised his hand and pointed outward, and said to Zhao Jun: "The great master Dahuang is already dead! I'm just going to tell you this. Brother, do you still want to listen?"

Li Ruhai, who had been aggrieved and submissive just now, became powerful now. I miss Li Ruhai, who has been hanging out in this village for so many years. When he is chatting, as long as he talks, which old woman dares to interrupt?

"You say it, you say it." Zhao Jun hurriedly took another piece of chicken leg meat from the basin and put it in the bowl for Li Ruhai. He smiled and said, "Your brother Chen and I have saved the good meat for you."

"That's more or less the same." Li Ruhai smiled, then re-entered the state, with bright eyes, and said to Zhao Jun and the minister: "It's our Grandpa Dahuang, when he was young."

Zhao Jun felt awkward when he heard Li Ruhai's words, but he did not dare to complain anymore and forced himself to continue listening.

And Li Ruhai said enthusiastically: "When my dad brought the dog back, it was before winter. At that time, he put it in a dog-skin hat and put it on the kang. One day, my dad was lying on the kang to sleep, and the puppy thought When he went to the toilet, he crawled out of his hat and peed on the kang. He happened to catch up with my brother who was also on the kang. I wasn’t around at that time. I heard from my dad that my brother was only a little over three years old. , it was probably my brother who was thirsty that day. He looked at where the dog was peeing, and he crawled over..."

"Hey!" Zhao Jun couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly stopped Li Ruhai and said, "If it's something disgusting, stop talking about it. Your brother Chen and I still have to eat."

"No!" Li Ruhai said: "My brother didn't wait to lick him. When my dad opened his eyes and saw it, he kicked him down, hahahaha..."

The boy started laughing as he spoke, but Zhao Jun and Jie Chen couldn't laugh. They looked at each other, then turned to look at Li Ruhai.

At this time, Li Ruhai stopped laughing, looked at Zhao Jun and Jie Chen in turn, and asked: "Brother, Brother Jun, why don't you two laugh?"

Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and asked Li Ruhai, "Ruhai, who told you this?"

"My dad told my mom." Li Ruhai said with a smile: "Last night, my mom asked me if my brother was stupid. My dad just put it aside and said that he couldn't be prepared. After that, he mentioned it and said that he My brother kicked his feet into the ground and knocked my brother's head silly."

As soon as Li Ruhai said this, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen sighed. Those three people were probably telling a joke. Why did this child take it seriously?

However, Zhao Jun asked Li Ruhai with some suspicion, "Did my uncle and my aunt say these things in front of you?"

"That's not true." Li Ruhai shook his head and said, "I came back last night and stood by the door to listen."

"Ruhai." At this time, Jie Chen asked Li Ruhai a key question and said, "You didn't tell anyone about this, right?"

"No." Under the vigilant gazes of Zhao Jun and Jie Chen, Li Ruhai shook his head. When the two of them had just breathed a sigh of relief, Li Ruhai said, "I haven't finished my work yet."

Also, he and Jin Xiaomei went to work in the fields early in the morning, and when they came back, they came to Zhao Jun's house for dinner. They really didn't find a chance.

But what about waiting for him to find time?

Zhao Jun tilted his head and looked at Li Ruhai's legs folded together.

Li Ruhai followed Zhao Jun's gaze and looked down, then said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, I didn't drop any bones on the kang."

Zhao Jun looked straight at Li Ruhai, nodded twice and said, "I know, I just looked at your legs."

"Huh?" Li Ruhai was startled when he heard this, and asked with some confusion: "What are you looking at my legs for?"

Zhao Jun said expressionlessly: "If you go out and talk nonsense, your brother will break your legs."

Li Ruhai: "..."

At this time, Jie Chen took another piece of chicken leg meat from the basin to Li Ruhai and said, "Ruhai, listen to brother Chen, eat more meat and plug your mouth, or else break his legs."

…

After lunch, Li Ruhai went home. Zhao Jun and his ministers fell down on the kang and took a nap. When they got up in the afternoon, Zhao Jun came out of the room to go to the toilet.

Seeing Wang Meilan busy in front of the stove, he suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, how do you feel about our folk remedy?"

"I won't eat anymore." Wang Meilan smiled at Zhao Jun and said, "Ma Ling gave me another prescription, which is much better than the one you gave me."

Zhao Jun felt relieved when he heard that it was the folk remedy given by Ma Ling. There are specialties in the art industry, and when it comes to folk remedies, Ma Ling is also considered to be the best in Yong'an Village.

But what made Zhao Jun curious was how Ma Ling gave the folk remedy to Wang Meilan. So, he curiously asked Wang Meilan the whole story. After learning that he needed to use badger oil to spread the eggs, Zhao Jun thought that the badger oil at home might not be enough, so he asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, our family Is there no more badger oil?"

"Yes." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "There is still enough left, enough to last for a few days."

"It's okay." Zhao Jun said, "Brother Zhang knows a badger's hole. We will dig it out tomorrow and come back with the badger's hole to burn oil."

"Hey!" Wang Meilan responded cheerfully. This fried egg with badger seeds is so delicious. It can satisfy your craving if you eat it every day. Isn't it much better than the steamed millet with wild boar belly that makes you feel sick when you eat it?

The badger hole that Zhao Jun just mentioned was the stone hole that Zhang Yuanmin mentioned last time when he and Zhang Yuanmin were picking out badger seeds for Wang Cuihua.

According to Zhang Yuanmin's description, the badger cave is sitting on a pile of rocks, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. But Zhao Jun said there was a way, but it would have to wait until after October.

Today is October 2nd, and tomorrow is October 3rd. It’s just in time for Wang Meilan to dig out the badger’s hole.

But before going there, some preparations had to be done. Zhao Jun wanted to go to Zhang Yuanmin's house to talk to him.

But when he was about to go out, Zhao Jun remembered something again and asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, before I left, didn't my dad say he wanted to buy you cans? How many bottles did you eat? My dad told you "No, has he recorded the account? I'm just on my way, why don't I go to the store and settle the account?"

"He bought me a shit!" Wang Meilan was not happy when she heard this, and turned around and went back to the east room.

Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this. He knew the answer just by looking at Wang Meilan's attitude. Then he shook his head and walked out to Zhang Yuanmin's house.

When Zhao Jun arrived at Zhang Yuanmin's house, the two men were sawing firewood in the yard.

People in northeastern mountain villages have a habit of collecting and collecting firewood. It's not an exaggeration to say that every household in a forested area has to save enough firewood for three to five years. Then the firewood is left unburned, and when it is time to burn it, it is picked up from the mountain.

At the beginning of spring this year, Zhao Jun helped Zhang Yuanmin buy a chainsaw. He originally wanted him to go to Lengchang to plant trees and cut branches, but unexpectedly, Yang Yufeng took the old boy back after working at the forestry farm for three days.

But the chain saw is not in vain, it can be used for sawing firewood and other things.

"Oh, brother!" Yang Yufeng, who was pulling firewood, saw Zhao Jun coming. He threw the tree branch away and called Zhang Yuanmin: "Stop it, our brother is here."

"Hey!" Zhang Yuanmin also put down the chain saw and rushed to the door.

The couple welcomed Zhao Jun into the courtyard and sat down together in the house. Yang Yufeng poured some water. Zhao Jun held the teapot and said to Yang Yufeng, "Sister-in-law, when did you go collect firewood?"

Yang Yufeng smiled and said: "Nothing happens these days. I will go up the mountain and bring some back in the morning."

There were many wind-protruded trees on the mountain, with branches of all sizes, so Yang Yufeng picked the ones she could move and dragged them home.

Zhao Jun heard this and said again: "Sister-in-law, please don't go and fix it. The fever at home is enough. When next spring comes, let Baoyu drive and pick up a small number to pull the two cars down. I will save you a lot of trouble."

"Okay." Yang Yufeng was very happy when she heard this. This would save her a lot of things. What should she do at home if she has time?

At this time, Zhang Yuanmin pulled Yang Yufeng down, and then asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, why are you here?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Brother, didn't I let you make a few mouse cages last time? Let's see tonight and catch two big mice."

"That's easy to say." Zhang Yuanmin said with a smile: "Chop the whole dry corn stick into a piece, put it into the inside, and take one spoonful at a time."

At this point, Zhang Yuanmin instructed Yang Yufeng: "Go and weave the cages for me and get two for my brothers."

When Yang Yufeng got up and went out, Zhang Yuanmin said to Zhao Jun again: "Brother, when you go home, put down two cages and we can catch them separately."

"Okay." As soon as Zhao Jun responded, he saw Yang Yufeng leaving and returning, holding two cages made by Zhang Yuanmin made of wire ropes.

Zhao Jun stood up, took the cage, and said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, I'm going back then. If you have nothing to do tomorrow morning, we'll dig out the badgers and dig into the stone hole you mentioned last time."

"Brother!" Zhang Yuanmin was about to stand up and see him off when he heard Zhao Jun's words and asked, "Do you want me to take the heirloom of our old Zhang family with you?"

"No need." Zhao Jun smiled and said jokingly to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, you will see what I do tomorrow. I won't waste a single shot or a knife, I'm sure I'll dig it into the stone hole."

This chapter is my guarantee for today. I will go up the mountain to see an old man off in the morning. My phone runs out of battery when it gets cold and I can’t send a notification. I’m sorry, brothers.
