The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Before the heavy snow, all the tracks in the mountains and fields were covered by the heavy snow. After the heavy snowfall, there was light snow in the sky, and two lines of footprints on the ground, one for a human and one for a dog, looked particularly clear.

Zhang Yuanmin and Shao Jun chased them all the way down. Zhang Yuanmin fired two more shots into the air, and Zhao Jun quickly responded.

Hearing the gunshot in front of him, Zhang Yuanmin suddenly smiled, as happy as a 1.5-meter-five adult.

Shao Jun gave Zhang Yuanmin a strange look. He didn't know that Zhang Yuanmin and Zhao Jun were just brothers with different surnames, but he envied this kind of brotherhood.

"Brother! Brother!" After walking more than 400 meters, Zhang Yuanmin saw Zhao Jun and Black Tiger standing in front of a tree, and he danced towards Zhao Jun.

The moment he saw Zhang Yuanmin, Zhao Jun also smiled. When Zhang Yuanmin ran up to him, Zhao Jun was about to ask where Zhang Yuanmin had just gone, but saw another person walking towards him not far away.

"Brother." Zhao Jun grabbed Zhang Yuanmin's arm and asked, "Who is that?"

"Brother." Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "He has the same name as you. Your name is Zhao Jun, and his name is Shao Jun."

"My surname is Shao!" When Zhao Jun heard this, his first reaction was that this surname was not common. Then Zhao Jun thought of Shao Tuzhao, the legendary boss in Qiaotou Village.

At this time, Shao Jun approached. He smiled and nodded at Zhao Jun as a greeting.

Seeing that Shao Jun didn't speak, Zhao Jun didn't say a word and just responded in Shao Jun's way.

"Brother!" Zhang Yuanmin grabbed the shoulder bag on his back and asked Zhao Jun, "Are you hungry? Brother, let's start the fire and let's roast some dry food."

"Dry food..." Shao Jun on the side heard this and immediately came over, looking at Zhang Yuanmin's shoulder bag with gleaming eyes.

Twenty minutes later, the three of them shook off the dry branches they picked up, shook off the snow hanging on the branches, and then set them up to light the birch bark.

When the branches are just lit, white smoke comes out. You can't bake the buns in a hurry at this time, you have to burn the branches to a red fire.

Zhang Yuanmin took out the buns one by one and placed them on the snow. Zhao Jun took out a small pot from his pocket, put it on the fire, then added two handfuls of snow into it, and waited for it to turn into water and drink it. .

After Shao Jun met Zhao Jun and nodded in greeting, he stopped talking to Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin.

It can be seen that this guy doesn't talk much and is a taciturn type.

It's just that he wants to make a living at this time, so he will inevitably have to get close to Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin.

"Um..." Shao Jun spoke first. After attracting Zhao Jun's attention, he asked, "What's your surname?"

"My surname is Zhao." Zhao Jun replied: "My name is Zhao Jun."

"Ah..." After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Shao Jun understood. He pointed at Zhang Yuanmin and said to Zhao Jun with a smile: "This brother just called Zhao Jun. I thought he was calling me."

"Hahaha..." Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin laughed in unison. Shao Jun also smiled, and then asked the two of them: "I see that you went up the mountain with guns on your back, are you here to encircle you?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and responded: "Today I am looking for a trace so that I can lead the dog up the mountain tomorrow. Who would have thought it would snow heavily? I won't be able to come tomorrow."

Usually on the second day after a heavy snowfall, roe deer and wild boars will not have their nests, and at most you can see some yellow-skinned footprints. We have to wait until the third day before we can go into the mountains to fight the siege.

Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Shao Jun seemed very surprised and asked, "Then why can't you come tomorrow?"

Zhao Jun was startled, looked at Zhang Yuanmin, and then asked Shao Jun, "You..."

When Zhao Jun opened his mouth, he felt something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he still asked what was on his lips.

Zhao Jun: "How long have you been running in the mountains?"

When Zhao Jun asked this, Shao Jun instantly became happy. He said: "I just ran up the mountain on the first day today. I wanted to walk up the mountain and take a walk. Whatever I looked at, I just took care of it."

"Sure enough!" Zhao Jun's guess was correct. Shao Jun was indeed a novice. But looking at the 79-year-old tree planted in the snow next to Shao Jun, Zhao Jun guessed the boy's true identity.

After all, these days, the 79-gauge is rarer than a semi-automatic. The person who can carry this gun up the mountain must have the surname Shao, so he must be a descendant of Shao Tuzhao.

"Um...Shao Jun." We just met today, and we are not very familiar with each other, so Zhang Yuanmin cannot call Shao Jun brother. He called Shao Jun's name, and then asked: "You came up the mountain, does your family know?"

"Can we let them know?" Shao Jun said: "If they know, can I still come out?"

As soon as Shao Jun said this, Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin looked at each other again. Zhao Jun asked: "I don't think you are older than me. I am twenty-one, how old are you?"

"I'm younger than you." Shao Jun said, "I'm only eighteen."

Eighteen, not only younger than Zhao Jun, but also one year younger than Li Baoyu.

Hearing what Shao Jun said reminded Zhao Jun of what happened to him after he sneaked up the mountain last year and returned home.

It's just that they are not familiar with each other after all, so Zhao Jun can't say anything.

Just like that, the three of them sat around the fire, chatting and eating while waiting for the buns to be cooked.

After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, the wind and snow stopped, but it was still cloudy.

Zhao Jun pulled out the semi-automatic rifle stuck in the snow, slung it over his shoulder, and said to Zhang Yuanmin and Shao Jun: "Let's go back."

"Let's go." Zhang Yuanmin also responded.

"Which way are you going?" Shao Jun asked weakly, attracting the attention of Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin.

When the three of them were eating baked buns just now, Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin learned that Shao Jun's family was also in Qiaotou Village, and they all knew Huang Gui. And that Shao Bald Claw is none other than Shao Jun.

But what Zhao Jun didn't expect was that Shao Jun not only sneaked up the mountain, but also got lost. If he hadn't met Zhang Yuanmin, he might not have been able to go back today!

"Follow me." Zhao Jun waved his hand and led the Black Tiger with his gun on his back to clear the way. Shao Jun was in the middle and Zhang Yuanmin was last.

On the way downhill, the group of three people followed the hill fork heading northwest. At this time, Shao Jun couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhao, are you doing this right?"

"Just come with me." Zhao Jun said something and led Shao Jun down for a hundred or so meters, continuing to dig into the mountain.

After walking another three to four hundred meters, Zhao Jun heard Shao Jun behind him ask: "Brother Zhao, are we going the wrong way?"

At this time, Zhao Jun stopped, turned to look at Shao Jun, and asked, "Are you unable to pull the mountain away?"

"Ah?" Shao Jun was stunned, and then asked: "I didn't feel it?"

Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and asked again: "Tell the truth, when you met my eldest brother, did you go off on a limb?"

"Ah..." Shao Jun didn't refute this time. He smiled awkwardly and then said: "I haven't wiped the mountain yet. Isn't it snowing heavily? I'm being fooled."

"You can pull him down." Zhao Jun raised his chin at Shao Jun and said, "If you believe me, don't go up the mountain by yourself in the future."

…

Just after two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Jun took Zhang Yuanmin and Shao Jun back to Qiaotou Village.

As soon as they entered the village, Shao Jun invited the two of them to his home. Although this kid talks little, he understands things in his heart. He knew that Zhang Yuanmin had helped him today. Without Zhang Yuanmin, Shao Jun might not have been able to get out.

"We're not going." Zhao Jun said, "It's snowing heavily in the mountains. Brother Huang and my wife still have to worry about it."

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Shao Jun didn't force it. After a few words, the three of them parted ways.

By the time Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin returned to Huang Gui's house, Jie Chen and Huang Gui had already returned. At this time, they, Song Lan, Guofu, and Minqiang were running around in the house anxiously. They were all afraid that something would happen to Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin in the mountains.

Now that Huang Gui saw the two of them coming back, he felt relieved. After asking Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin what happened during their trip, Huang Gui couldn't help but sigh and said with some worry: "That boy Shao Jun is so annoying. If something happens to him, his whole family No need to live anymore.”

"Ah?" Zhao Jun asked in surprise: "Is it so evil?"

"Then what are you thinking about?" Huang Gui said: "There are four generations in his family, his father, his mother, his grandfather, plus his great-grandfather, all pointing to him to continue the family line. Tell me what will happen to him, Can’t the old man survive?”

"Ah, haha." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this and said, "Then he will not be exploited when he returns home."

What Zhao Jun didn't expect was that Huang Gui shook his head slightly and said, "That's not possible."

"What?" Zhao Jun couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he and Baoyu secretly went up the mountain to fight the siege last year, and they were beaten twice by Zhao Youcai because of this. This Shao Jun is far different from last year. Such a young boy can go up the mountain without being beaten when he returns home. This makes Zhao Jun feel very unbalanced.

…

In the evening, Song Lan fried roe deer meat, sauerkraut and soup, and cooked a pot of hot noodles. Eating this on a cloudy and snowy day not only keeps your body warm, but also makes you feel warm.

After eating the noodles, Zhao Jun went back to his house early to sleep. Tonight, Zhao Jun dreamed of Wang Meilan, Zhao Youcai, his two sisters and Ma Ling.

At this time, at Zhao Jun's house in Yong'an Tun, Wang Meilan also had a dream.

She dreamed that when she was a child, about five or six years old, her father Wang, a wealthy man, went out to sell horses and made money. When he came back, he bought her a little donkey.

When she saw the little donkey for the first time, Wang Meilan's first thought was: "This time I can kill the donkey!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Meilan's big eyes turned into crescents with a smile.

The dream was intermittent, and Wang Meilan entered the next scene in a trance. It was in the west room of her old house. Next to the kangqin, there were two boxes of ash willows.

Ash willow is an ash tree that grows to a certain age, and its trunk is covered with wooden lumps. After the carpenter broke open the wooden knots, these became gorgeous patterns.

Rich man Wang opened a ash willow box and took out a handful of cloth bags. Rich Man Wang opened his pocket and poured out the contents, which instantly dazzled Little Meilan.

One by one, big gold bars!

All kinds!

This is a dream!

How could it be that there were no necklaces or bracelets in the bag, but only gold coins?

The rich man Wang looked at little Meilan who was about to press her face to the gold plate, and said to her lovingly: "My dearest daughter, I have kept these for you. When you go out, I will use them for you." box."

When Xiao Meilan heard this, her big eyes disappeared from laughter.

The scene changed again in the dream.

One night, gunshots were heard outside, awakening little Meilan.

"Daughter, don't make any noise!" Rich Man Wang shouted, and the rich man's wife, Wang Meilan's mother, stopped Wang Meilan with both hands and held her in her arms.

At that time, windows were pushed from bottom to top and from inside to outside, and the window frames were covered with paper.

Logically speaking, when it's dark, you can at most see someone outside through the window paper.

But in her dream, little Meilan saw a bunch of beardies breaking into her house. Instead of breaking into the house, these beards took away the little donkeys in the pen first.

"Woooo..." Little Meilan struggled, trying to break out of the window, but was tightly hugged by the rich man's wife.

But at this time, Xiao Meilan saw that the beards had taken away her stack of firewood.

In the previous scene, Xiao Meilan did not see the golden thorn hidden by the rich man Wang. But at this moment, little Meilan suddenly received a message that the bag of gold coins her father had given her as a dowry were all hidden in the firewood pile.

"I'll fight with you!" Xiao Meilan swung her arms and kicked her legs, vowing to fight to the death with those thieves.

At the same time, Zhao Youcai was sleeping on the kang in the east room of Zhao Jun's house. He was soundly sleeping and received a heavy blow on his chest.

"What..." Zhao Youcai woke up instantly, but at this time he received another kick on the leg, and then another slap on the forehead.

Zhao Youcai hurriedly stood up and reached out to pull the lamp.

As the lights came on, Zhao Youcai saw Wang Meilan next to him, fisting and raising his feet, as if he was fighting with someone in his dream.

Zhao Youcai looked carefully and found that Wang Meilan looked in pain and her forehead was covered with sweat!

"Snapped!"

Zhao Youcai received another slap on the arm.

Zhao Youcai didn't feel any pain. He wanted to know what Wang Meilan was dreaming about.

But at this moment, Wang Meilan moved her lips and whispered: "Donkey...donkey..."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

"This bitch." Zhao Youcai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going crazy thinking about donkeys."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Meilan shouted again: "Give me back the gold plate!"

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned when he heard this, and quickly touched the gold plate in his hand.

Touching the cool golden brooch, Zhao Youcai gradually calmed down. He tucked Wang Meilan into bed before turning off the light and lying down.

Early the next morning, Wang Meilan woke up early. She got dressed and put in the dog food.

Wang Meilan seems a little depressed today.

Some people have dreams and may forget what they dreamed about when they wake up the next morning. After waking up from some dreams, the emotions in the dream will be substituted into reality.

When it was ten minutes before five o'clock, Zhao Youcai also got up and came out of the back room wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket.

Zhao Youcai looked at Wang Meilan who was inserting the dog food. He saw her holding a spoon and mechanically stirring the dog food in the pot. Zhao Youcai came over and asked, "Lan Na, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay!" Wang Meilan shook her head pretending to be relaxed, but after thinking about it, she still told Zhao Youcai about her dream last night.

When Zhao Youcai heard that Wang Meilan used a bastard punch in his dream to take back all the things Huzi had snatched away, he couldn't help but secretly raised his thumb and muttered: "You bitch, you are giving up your life rather than your wealth! "
