The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Although I don't know how heavy the sleet will be today, it has been cloudy since the morning. No wonder Wang Meilan is worried about Zhao Jun going out.

But Zhao Jun insisted on going out for a walk, so Wang Meilan went to the east room to get a raincoat for Zhao Jun.

By the time Wang Meilan found the raincoat, Zhao Jun was already at the door.

"Son." Wang Meilan came out and immediately felt something was wrong, so she asked Zhao Jun, "Don't you carry a gun?"

Zhao Jun took the raincoat, stuffed it into his shoulder pocket, and then said to Wang Meilan, "I'm going to Brother Zhang's house to get his sand gun and see what gadgets I can sneak back."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Wang Meilan knew that Zhao Jun was not going to look after Xiong Xiongzi, so she was not worried about him going out alone.

Zhao Jun opened the door and came out of his house. When the dogs in the yard saw that he was wearing the clothes for going up the mountain, they thought he was going to fight for a siege today. Regardless of the weather, they jumped up one by one in a hurry, barking or snorting.

People have human speech, and animals have animal speech.

Although the dogs in the Li family's courtyard next door did not see Zhao Jun, they all became restless when they heard the barking of the dogs in this courtyard.

It stands to reason that the hunting dogs of the two families went up the mountain the day before yesterday and followed Zhao Youcai for two consecutive battles. They rested at home for a day yesterday. It stands to reason that the excitement level should not be so high. But the two battles the day before yesterday made these dogs feel aggrieved. Today they really wanted to follow Zhao Jun up the mountain and have a good time.

But Zhao Jun failed to understand the intentions of these dogs for a while, and the weather today was not suitable for siege, so Zhao Jun only untied Qinglong and took it out of the yard.

He led Qinglong all the way to Zhang Yuanmin's house. He didn't plan to go into the mountains today. At most, he would just wander around the perimeter, looking at pheasants and gray-skinned ones and shoot them.

But whether it was a semi-automatic rifle or the barrel-mounted gun placed in Li Baoyu's place, they all fired 7.62 bullets. One shot and these gadgets would probably be gone.

Therefore, Zhao Jun went to Zhang Yuanmin's house and borrowed his long-sight No. 16 shotgun.

That shotgun can shoot sand bullets and singletons. To shoot big animals, such as wild boars, black bears, roe deer, and deer, use single-point bullets. To hunt pheasants, jumping cats, greyhounds and other small things, use bullets filled with gun sand.

Today, Zhang Yuanmin, Xie Zhong and Jie Chen went to Lingnan to collect people, and Xiao Lingdang went to school again, leaving Yang Yufeng alone at home.

At this time, Yang Yufeng was feeding geese and ducks in the yard. When Zhao Jun came with his dog, Yang Yufeng hurriedly came over and asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

"Go out for a walk." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, give me my eldest brother's gun."

"You can use a gun." Yang Yufeng looked up at the sky and said, "It's raining and snowing today."

"It's okay." Zhao Jun patted his pocket and said, "I have a poncho with me. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Okay!" After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Yang Yufeng said, "Brother, can I get it for you?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, please get it for me. There are still bullets."

Yang Yufeng responded and turned around and ran towards the house. After a while, she came out with Zhang Yuanmin's gun and two small cloth bags.

When Yang Yufeng came closer, Zhao Jun first took the two bullet bags and tied them around his waist one by one.

These two bullet bags were specially sewn by Yang Yufeng. The mouth of the bag is loose and has a button.

There was a cloth belt sewn on the outside of the bag. Zhao Jun tied the bag around his waist. The bullet bag was hanging under his waist. He could reach out and take out the bullets.

Moreover, these two bullet bags are sewn with cloth of different colors. The blue bag on the left contains sand bombs. The black bag on the right contains single-head bullets.

At this time, there were twenty bullets in each of the two bullet bags.

After Zhao Jun put them on, he stretched the corners of his coat down and covered the bullet bag.

Then, Zhao Jun took the gun and put it on his shoulder. After saying goodbye to Yang Yufeng, he took Qinglong and headed north.

Along the way, Zhao Jun put his hands in his pockets and did not lead the dog, letting Qinglong run around and lift his legs to urinate. He walked all the way north, and after passing through several houses, he heard someone calling him from the west: "Zhao Jun!"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Jun and Qinglong both followed the sound. This dog is also smart. It hears people calling Zhao Jun every day and knows that this is the name of its master.

When Zhao Jun saw the person shouting, he immediately raised his arm with a smile, waved twice at the person, and then trotted towards him.

Upon seeing this, Qinglong wanted to leave a scent under the big willow tree, so he quickly followed it.

Zhao Jun came to Ma Ling and asked with a smile: "What are you doing? It's going to rain soon."

Ma Ling also smiled at Zhao Jun and replied: "There is an episode today, I'll go over and take a look."

Speaking of this, Ma Ling looked down at the Qinglong next to Zhao Jun's legs, then looked up at the gun Zhao Jun was carrying, and asked, "Are you going to hunt today?"

"Ah." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I don't have much fun at home, so I thought I would take a walk around the village."

After saying that, Zhao Jun glanced at Ma Ling's way and asked, "Are you going to do the episode yourself?"

Zhao Jun thought about it. If Ma Ling was alone, he would send the dog home and accompany Ma Ling to the market.

But Ma Ling smiled and said, "My mother will go too."

After saying that, Ma Ling also looked back, but she didn't see Wang Cuihua, so she turned back to Zhao Jun and said, "My mother... she will catch up with me after a while."

Zhao Jun smiled. He knew his mother-in-law very well. Not to mention the conditions of Wang Cuihua's family, the key is that this person is very particular about his clothes.

For example, if she was going to the market today, she would have to find all the clothes she could wear, try them on one by one, and finally decide on the one that she liked the most today.

Fortunately, her character was not passed on to Ma Ling. On the contrary, Ma Ling has been troubled by her mother's grinding since she was a child, which has also developed the girl's impatience, which can be said to be as jealous as hatred.

No, the two of them had agreed to go to the market together, to go early and come back early to save themselves from the rain and snow.

But Ma Ling waited and waited, and Wang Cuihua was still lingering in the room. Ma Ling couldn't stand it anymore, so she and Wang Cuihua decided to meet at the market.

Regarding his future mother-in-law, Zhao Jun must not say anything treacherous. He just asked Ma Ling: "What are you and my aunt going to buy? Is there anything for sale today?"

"Yes!" Ma Ling nodded and said, "I agreed with them that day to bring it to me today."

Under Zhao Jun's curious eyes, Ma Ling explained to Zhao Jun: "I'm thinking of buying some wool to knit a sweater for my dad..."

At this point, Ma Ling lowered her voice and continued: "I'll knit you another neck collar."

Neck gaiter is similar to a scarf.

It's just that the scarf is a very long one that goes around the neck in a circle. The collar is a loop that goes in from the top of the head and around the neck, hence the name.

When she said she wanted to give Zhao Jun a gift, Ma Ling seemed a little embarrassed and asked quickly: "What color do you like? There are black ones, gray ones...and yellow ones."

"No yellow ones." Zhao Jun said, "I can't wear them if they are too fresh."

"It's not fresh." Ma Ling said, "It's khaki."

"Ah..." Zhao Jun heard this and asked again: "You said you want to knit a sweater for my Uncle Ma. What color does he want to knit?"

"My dad wanted something black." Ma Ling said with a smile, "He said he would make a mess."

Carrying paste means carrying dirt. These days, people in forest areas do not have the conditions to practice hygiene. It is also difficult to wash clothes in winter. Many people wear shiny clothes.

"Then I want to be gray." When Zhao Jun heard that Ma Dafu wanted to be black, he made a decisive choice. After all, Ma Ling doesn't know what a couple's style is, but Zhao Jun does.

Suddenly, Zhao Jun remembered something and hurriedly asked Ma Ling: "How do you sell that thing? Is it not weighed by pounds?"

In her previous life, Ma Ling often knitted sweaters and trousers for Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Jun, so Zhao Jun knew that wool was not cheap.

I remember that in 1993, Ma Ling knitted a big sweater for Zhao Jun. Ma Ling used a full two kilograms of wool for that brown sweater, and it also had twisted patterns on it.

As soon as Zhao Jun put on that sweater, anyone who saw it would take a second look.

But the price was that the wool needed to buy that sweater cost Zhao Jun one month's salary at that time. For more than sixty yuan, I bought two pounds of wool, which only contained 50% wool.

Although the wool now is not as expensive as that time, it still costs about ten yuan a pound. Ma Ling wants to knit a neckband for Zhao Jun. It costs more than two taels of wool for thick needles, and three or four taels for fine needles.

The money is trivial to Zhao Jun, but Ma Ling doesn't make any money. She helps the family with work and farming. Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua will give her some, but they don't think this girl will have much money now.

"It's not a pound." Ma Ling looked at Zhao Jun and said with a smile: "I will knit a fine needle for you. I will buy four or two threads. If there is any leftover, I will knit you a pair of gloves."

"Oh!" Zhao Jun said happily when he heard this: "That's great!"

I'm happy, but Zhao Jun can't give Ma Ling money. This girl is different from Li Ruhai. If Zhao Jun wants to give her money, Ma Ling will not only not be happy, but will fall out on the spot.

After hearing Zhao Jun's promise, Ma Ling smiled happily and said, "I'll knit it for you first, and the scarf will be finished in a few days. Then you can wear it when you go up the mountain, so that the wind won't hurt your neck."

"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded with a smile and said, "That's good."

Ma Ling smiled lightly and was about to speak when Zhao Jun said, "My aunt is here."

Ma Ling turned around and saw Wang Cuihua walking quickly this way.

"Auntie!" Zhao Jun said hello to Wang Cuihua when he was far away. Wang Cuihua saw Zhao Jun and shouted with a smile: "What are Zhao Jun doing?"

"Walking around."

As soon as Zhao Jun replied, Wang Cuihua said: "Don't run too far, go and come back early."

Hearing the words "Go early and come back early" coming out of Wang Cuihua's mouth, Ma Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Zhao Jun exchanged greetings with Wang Cuihua and then watched her and Ma Ling leave. Then, Zhao Jun put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the north exit of the village.

…

When Zhao Jun walked out of Yong'antun, Zhao Youcai and others had already boarded the commuter bus.

Li Ruhai was a little unusual today. He didn't sit with Zhao Youcai and the others, nor did he join the crowd.

He sat alone in the row behind Zhao Youcai and the others.

The child did not dare to sit in front of Li Dayong because he was afraid that his father would attack him from behind. Now he is no longer afraid, but Li Ruhai still feels uneasy and always anxious.

As colleagues got on the bus one after another, someone had noticed something strange about Li Ruhai. The child's cheeks were swollen, as if he had been slapped by someone.

But Li Dayong and Li Baoyu were both there, and no one went over to talk. Only Zhang Laifa looked back at Li Ruhai from time to time, and then smiled with gloating.

The key is that he let Li Ruhai see his schadenfreude, and Li Ruhai gritted his teeth in anger.

At this time, Han Dachun walked behind. He had a good relationship with Zhao Youcai, and he was also good with Li Dayong.

When Han Dachun came over, Li Dayong raised his hand to signal him. Han Dachun nodded and smiled, and then sat next to Li Ruhai.

"Uncle Han!" Someone came, and Li Ruhai suddenly felt more at ease. He stood up from his seat and stretched out his hands to Han Dachun.

This stunned Han Dachun, who held Li Ruhai's hand and sat down next to him. Just as Li Dayong turned around, Han Dachun asked in a low voice: "Dayong, what are you doing? Why did you beat the child?"

There were so many people in the car who blushed when they saw Li Ruhai, but except for him, Han Dachun, no one really came to ask.

This is because if you ask, you will be suspected of watching the fun.

But Han Dachun is different. They have no children, and they are quite rare towards the children of Zhao and Li, especially the boys from the two families.

Now that Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu are both grown up, Han Dachun is particularly interested in Li Ruhai.

"No." Before Li Dayong could speak, Li Ruhai hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "My dad didn't hit him."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Han Dachun immediately turned around and looked at Li Ruhai.

And Li Ruhai whispered: "Yesterday... I started fighting with someone."

These days when children fight, no adults can help. Therefore, Li Ruhai found such a reason, thinking that if he said this, Han Dachun would not ask any more questions.

But at this time, Han Dachun didn't need to ask at all. He turned his face and looked directly at Zhang Laifa in front of him on the right.

This kid, Li Ruhai, is quite capable of living in the countryside. Even though he is young, men, women, old and young all have to give him some face. The only one who can take action against Li Ruhai is the old Zhang family.

Zhang Laifa was looking at the excitement when he suddenly met Han Dachun's eyes. Zhang Laifa felt excited and quickly turned his face to the other side.

In the eyes of Han Dachun, his behavior was a sign of guilty conscience, and Han Dachun secretly sneered in his heart.

Han Dachun is not a local householder, he moved here later. After moving here, I found someone to arrange for him to live in the forest farm canteen.

At that time, Yongan Forest Farm had only one canteen, and Zhao Youcai, Zhang Zhanshan and Han Dachun all worked together.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhanshan bullied Han Dachun a lot, but later Zhao Youcai helped Han Dachun once when he was aggrieved. From then on, Han Dachun followed Zhao Youcai. Later, Han Dachun even asked his younger brother Han Daming to worship Zhao Youcai as his teacher.

It can be said that the Han brothers are Zhao Youcai's right-hand men in the cafeteria, otherwise Zhao Youcai would not have put his private money in Han Daming's hands.

Over the years, Han Dachun has often fought with Zhao Youcai and Zhang Zhanshan. Now that Zhang Zhanshan has passed away, leaving behind three orphans and a widowed mother, it is hard for Han Dachun to bully Zhang Laifa.

But when he thought that this kid dared to hit Li Ruhai, Han Dachun thought that even if he couldn't do it himself, he still had to say something for Li Ruhai.

So Han Dachun stared at the back of Zhang Laifa's head and said loudly: "Which little bastard beat us like a sea?"

Li Ruhai: "..."

Li Dayong: "..."
