The whole mountain is my hunting ground

When Zhao Jun arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he also caught up with Jie Zhong and the others. They heard footsteps coming from behind. The three of them turned around and saw that it was Zhao Jun. Jie Chen asked curiously: "Brother Jun, what are you carrying?"

"Ah!" Zhao Jun responded: "The third uncle has something and asked me to take care of the house."

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, they didn't ask any more questions. Zhao Jun came to the car and asked Feng Jingui to sit in the passenger seat, while he led the yellow dog and Xie Zhong into the trunk together.

Then, Jiechen started the car and the four of them drove straight to Kaoshantun.

Kaoshan Village rises from the mountain. On the slopes on both sides of a ditch and pond, there are rows of wooden houses.

There are two houses on the south slope and two houses on the north slope. There are a total of thirty households, with a population of 1,780 men, women, old and children.

There is a road up the mountain, but it is difficult and rugged, and the car cannot drive to Feng Jingui's house. So, the car stopped by the roadside beside the ditch and pond.

Feng Jingui got off the passenger seat, and Xie Zhong and Jie Chen also got off.

At this time, Zhao Jun threw the big head of the black bear from the trunk, and then handed over a piece of black bear meat tied with hemp rope. It weighed about ten kilograms and was all fat from the black bear's belly.

"Uncle Feng." Xie Zhong came in front of Feng Jingui, handed the meat in his hand to Feng Jingui, and said, "I'll cut a piece of meat for you."

"Hey, thank you, man." Feng Jingui responded and took the bear meat from Xie Zhong.

Before going to hunt bears, Feng Jingui had said that he only wanted to blackmail the blind man's head so that he could pay homage to his retired son-in-law when he came back.

But since even the bear bile has been shared, Feng Jingui is no longer polite to these three juniors.

And this bear has mostly fat meat and very little lean meat. But bear meat is delicious, the lean meat is fragrant, and the fat meat is also oily. The Heixiazizi oil is not only fragrant but also of good quality.

The living conditions in Kaoshan Village are far inferior to those in Yong'an Village. The mountain residents save some oil throughout the year to eat during the New Year. This piece of fat is really a big deal to the old Feng family.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jun threw another sack from the trunk, and then he also turned over.

Jie Chen picked up the sack earlier, held the mouth of the sack to put the bear legs and bear meat inside, and then placed it at Feng Jingui's feet.

"Woof! Woof!" Suddenly, two dog barks sounded from the trunk.

Feng Jingui's yellow dog was still on the trunk of the car. At this time, it was clawing at the railing of the car and barking at Feng Jingui several times. Seeing Feng Jingui looking at it, the yellow dog kept wagging its tail.

Feng Jingui only glanced at them and then withdrew his gaze. He called to Zhao Jun and the others and said, "Man, we're home now. Let's go up and have a bite to eat."

"That's incredible." Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun smiled and waved his hands and said, "Didn't we just finish eating?"

"Then have a drink of water." Feng Jingui said with a smile, "I just happened to come to my uncle's house to recognize him."

At this point, Feng Jingui pointed to Jie Chen and said, "If you don't come here to pull fodder, can you find a place?"

"Ah..." After hearing Feng Jingui's words, Xie Zhong went up and took a look. He saw several wooden ridges faintly visible on the top of the mountain. He asked Feng Jingui, "Uncle Feng, is your house on Nanshan? Or on Nanshan?" Beishan?"

"Nanshan." As soon as Feng Jingui answered, Xie Zhong said, "Then let's go back down and ask around at Nanshan and we'll find out."

"Uncle Feng." Zhao Jun continued: "I won't go up today, just wait for us to come back next time. I was originally out to do some business today, and this is a siege or something. My mother stayed home to see that we didn't go back, so she pointed out You may have to weigh your heart."

Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Feng Jingui couldn't persuade him any more and just said: "Okay, then next time you can get whatever you say. The conditions at your uncle's house are not as good as yours, but when you come, uncle will give you whatever he wants. .”

The three people from Zhao Jun agreed, said goodbye to Feng Jingui one after another, and got into the car one after another. Jie Chen drove, Xie Zhong sat in the passenger seat, and Zhao Jun dragged the yellow dog on the trunk.

"Woof! Woof! Woof..." Seeing that the yellow dog was getting further and further away from home, it scratched the fence with its front paws and kept barking at Feng Jingui.

Feng Jingui glanced at the car, sighed softly, picked up the sack and walked up the mountain road.

Soon, the yellow dog lost sight of Feng Jingui, but it still barked in the direction of Kaoshantun.

As the car turned around the foot of the mountain, the yellow dog couldn't even see the mountain field where Kaoshantun was located, but it was still standing, with its tail hanging down and its eyes a little blank.

Zhao Jun gently pulled the rope, and the yellow dog pulled its two front legs down from the railing, looking at Zhao Jun with its tail drooped.

Zhao Jun pulled the rope again, but the yellow dog abnormally put its four paws on the ground and did not move towards Zhao Jun at all.

When Zhao Jun saw this, he didn't force it and just sat quietly in the car. As for the yellow dog, it looked at Zhao Jun, then slowly sat down, and then put down its two front legs one after another, lying on the ground and looking at Zhao Jun.

It was probably the first time for this dog to ride in a car, but it was much better than the little bear and did not get car sick all the way.

The man and the dog stared at each other for two or three minutes. Seeing the car leaving the mountain range, Zhao Jun tugged on the rope again.

This time the yellow dog got up and slowly moved to Zhao Jun's side and lay down. Zhao Jun reached out and touched the dog's head and muttered: "From now on, you will be called Huang Long!"

The car entered Yong'an Village and came straight to the door of Zhao Jun's house. Before the car could stop, the dogs in the two yards started barking at the smell of the black bear.

"Woof! Woof!" The dog barked in the yard. Huang Long blocked it, wagging half of his tail, and made a sound with his mouth open in response.

As soon as Zhao Jun pressed the yellow dragon, he raised his head and looked into the courtyard. He saw Wang Meilan and Yang Yufeng sitting in the shade under the wall. There were two large basins in front of them, where they were crowding fish.

Seeing the car stop outside the door, Wang Meilan and Yang Yufeng hurriedly got up and went out to greet it. When they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Wang Meilan said to Xie Zhong, who had just gotten off the car, "Didn't you say you would come back for lunch?"

"Haha." Xie Zhong chuckled and said, "Let's do something in the mountains."

Hearing what Xie Zhong said, Wang Meilan thought she was doing something for him in Lengchang, so she didn't ask any more questions. She looked up at the yellow dog with its head exposed on the rear compartment and asked Zhao Jun: "Son, where is the whole dog? "

"It's a gift from someone else." Zhao Jun responded with a smile, picked up Huang Long by his waist, and handed it down.

Seeing this, Jie Zhong hurriedly came over to catch Huang Long, then pulled the rope around Huang Long's neck, held it in his hand and asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, where is this dog tied?"

Zhao Jun pointed to the elm tree on the right side of the door and said: "Tie it to that tree first, don't go into the courtyard."

There are so many dogs in the courtyard, and Xie Zhong can't control them. What if they get into a fight with Huang Long?

As Jie Zhong went to tie the dog, Zhao Jun asked Yang Yufeng on the trunk, "Sister-in-law, when did you come back?"

"I came back this morning." Yang Yufeng said with a smile: "My aunt has finished stewing the fish your eldest brother picked out at noon, and you didn't come back to eat it."

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, raised his chin toward the courtyard, and asked, "Isn't it all stewed? Then why is there still fish?"

"Ah!" Yang Yufeng replied with a smile: "These are small willow roots. Your elder brother harvested a lot and brought them to you. You can dry them in the sun and keep them for eating."

While Zhao Jun was talking to Yang Yufeng, Jie Zhong tied up his dog and came back, while Jie Chen came around from the front of the car.

"Sister-in-law!" Jie Chen said hello to Yang Yufeng first, and then introduced her to Xie Zhong.

After Yang Yufeng greeted Xie Zhong, Xie Chen asked Yang Yufeng, "Sister-in-law, what have I, Brother Zhang, been doing?"

"He..." Yang Yufeng said with a smile: "After he finished fishing, he went fishing for shrimps with my uncle and the others."

At this time, Zhao Jun held up the sack containing the jars and was sending it down from the car. Yang Yufeng glanced at it and hurriedly reached out to hold the sack handed over by Zhao Jun. At Zhao Jun's reminder, Yang Yufeng carefully placed the sack on the ground.

"What is this?" Wang Meilan glanced at the sack, frowned and asked, "Why does it smell like this?"

"Mom!" Zhao Jun called Wang Meilan and said, "It doesn't smell like that sack."

With that said, Zhao Jun pointed back into the car and said, "We are beating the blind man!"

"Ah?" Wang Meilan and Yang Yufeng heard this and hurried to the car to take a look. At this time, Zhao Jun took out the bear bile from his pocket, handed it to Wang Meilan and said, "Mom, this bear bile has been dipped in. Just hang it in the warehouse. And that sack, that belongs to my uncle Xing San. We have to put it away, but don’t knock it or touch it or anything else.”

When Wang Meilan heard that the sack contained other people's things, she immediately became concerned and hurriedly said to Zhao Jun: "Okay, son, I will lift it up on our kang cabinet later."

After saying that, Wang Meilan held the bear bile in one hand and went to carry the sack with the other. But I heard Zhao Jun shouting from above: "Mom, that sack is so gray. If not, you can find a rag to wipe it with."

"I know." Wang Meilan responded and walked into the courtyard. Zhao Jun, along with Xie Zhong and Jie Chen, got the black bear out of the car. Yang Yufeng also helped him when he was dragging it into the courtyard.

When the black bear was dragged into the yard, Zhao Jun's dogs became even more crazy. Zhao Jun hurriedly asked Jie Zhong and Xie Chen to cut the bear meat together and feed it to the dogs one by one. And he himself went out and led Huang Long into the courtyard, sent him to the warehouse and locked him up.

Here, the Jie family brothers feed the dogs. Except for Qinglong, who won't eat meat given by outsiders, all other dogs are fine with Jie Chen. But when they saw Jie Zhong, they all grinned and stared eagerly.

"Brother!" Seeing Zhao Jun come out of the warehouse, Jie Zhong called him: "This dog can't eat me, can it?"

Normally, people who grow up in rural areas are not afraid of dogs. But there are too many dogs in Zhao Jun's family, and each one is stronger than the last. If they really get into a group fight, even the young man can't bear it.

"Hey!" Zhao Jun shouted, and all the dogs looked at him. Even the black tiger chewing meat looked up at Zhao Jun with strips of bear meat in his mouth.

Zhao Jun loudly said to Xie Zhong: "Brother, feed them. If you feed them once today, they will stop biting you in the future."

After saying that, Zhao Jun walked to the black bear carcass, cut off four strips of meat and gave them to Qinglong.

After feeding Zhao Jun's dog, Zhao Jun took Jie Zhong to Li's house next door.

Xie Zhongze has also been to Zhao's house twice and stayed overnight yesterday, so Zhao Jun's dog is okay with him.

But as soon as they arrived at Li Baoyu's courtyard, all the Li family's dogs roared at Xie Zhong, and each one pulled on the chain and tried to pounce on him.

Zhao Jun stepped forward and scolded him, and after restraining Dahuang and others, he still did not let Jie Zhong come closer, and just threw the meat to the dogs from a distance.

Seeing that both families were eating meat, Zhao Jun took Jie Zhong over the wall and returned to his home.

After coming down from the wall, Zhao Jun suddenly remembered something, pointed to the bear's heart, liver, and lungs placed beside the black bear, and said to Jie Chen: "Take that liver and feed it to the red bear in the backyard of Brother Li's house." Dog."

Ganhu is actually liver, but people here are used to calling it that.

"Red dog!" Before Jie Chen could respond, Jie Zhong felt his eyes light up and shouted, "I have to take a look. I've never seen this thing before!"

"Come on, brother!" Jie Chen put the invasion knife in place and then asked Jie Zhong to follow him. The two climbed over the wall to Li Baoyu's house.

Strangely enough, when Xie Zhong came over again, the rhubarb, florets, tabby cats, and tabby wolves he had fed just now really stopped biting him.

Jie Zhong and Jie Chen went to the backyard to feed the jackals. Wang Meilan came out of the house and waved to Yang Yufeng: "Tonight with Yuan Min and Ling Dang, you all stay here to eat. We, the two of us, will prepare some more dishes."

"Okay!" Yang Yufeng heard the words and responded with a smile, and then said: "Lingdang's father and uncle will come back from fishing for shrimps in a while. Let's fry some river shrimps and stew the fish for lunch."

If someone invited their family to dinner beforehand, Yang Yufeng would definitely think about it. But since her family was taken away by Zhao Jun, Yang Yufeng agreed without even thinking as long as Zhao Jun's family arranged meals.

"One fish, one shrimp, and there are cans in the cellar..." Wang Meilan muttered, then looked at the mutilated black bear lying in the middle of the yard, pointed at it and said to Zhao Jun: "Son, take it The knife opened the inside of the thigh and shaved off ten or twenty pounds of flesh."

The meat on the black bear's thighs is relatively thin.

When Zhao Jun heard this, he hurriedly asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, do you want to eat meat?"

"Ah!" Wang Meilan nodded and said matter-of-factly, "There are so many people at home, let's just eat."

At this point, Wang Meilan pointed to the warehouse again and said: "When you're done, you can take out the big pot and quickly put on the boiling water."

After eating the pig-killing vegetables a few days ago, Zhao Jun's family put away the big pot set up outside, but the stove built by Zhang Yuanmin was always there. According to Wang Meilan, this big stove cannot be dismantled, and their family may kill pigs one day.

No, the richest man Wang is setting up a banquet again!

After Wang Meilan finished giving instructions to Zhao Jun, she glanced at the two large basins in the corner. One of the basins contained small fish. These small fish are as long as a little finger from head to tail. Wang Meilan is preparing to brine them with salt, then dry them in the sun and store them.

Wouldn't it be nice to wait until winter to fry small dried fish and feed it to the children?

But at this time, Wang Meilan said to Yang Yufeng: "In a while, after Xiaojun has finished shaving the meat, we will put it outside and bake it. After cutting off some fat, you can go inside and remove the oil. I just happened to make the dough yesterday, and the oil is done." Let’s bake pancakes and bake dough pancakes.”

"Okay!" Yang Yufeng just responded when Wang Meilan said, "How about I boil some more noodles, and we bake some big pancakes to eat!"

Fermented dough cakes do not require too much oil, but large oil cakes do not. The key is to make the cakes baked with bear oil fragrant and soft. It was minus thirty degrees outside for thirty-nine days. I threw the cake into the snow. If I touched it two days later, the cake would be soft!

"Oh my god!" Zhao Jun heard this and hurriedly advised: "It's almost done. You and my sister-in-law, can you two work hard?"

Zhao Jun and Xie Zhong and Xie Chen could do some work of chopping firewood and boiling water, but if they were making noodles, making pancakes, and cooking dishes, the three of them would have to stand aside.

It's almost half past three now. Wang Meilan and Yang Yufeng alone have to bake two kinds of cakes and prepare several dishes. How can this meal be eaten in the middle of the night?

After listening to Zhao Jun's words, Wang Meilan glanced at Yang Yufeng beside her. Seeing Yang Yufeng nodded, Wang Meilan raised her hand and said to Zhao Jun: "Son, go! Get your uncle and your second sister-in-law!"
