The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The back cook of a cafeteria in Yongan Forest Farm.

"They sent me a letter this morning saying that my uncle is gone and he has a day off tomorrow. I have to go back to his parents' house with my wife." Zhang Guoqing, director of the canteen, was telling Zhao Youcai, "I will be back in two or three days. It will be Monday the day after tomorrow." , there are those who come to visit and study with the two-horse rack and the duck rack, you will have to arrange meals for them."

"Yeah, okay, I understand." Zhao Youcai responded, knocked the lid of the wok on the side with the spoon in his hand, and said, "I'll prepare some food for you, why don't you put it here and take a bite?"

"It's terrible." Zhang Guoqing pointed back to the door: "If you don't eat here, I have to go to the second cafeteria to have a look."

Zhang Guoqing was talking when he saw Li Dayong coming in from the door.

"Brother Zhang!" Li Dayong nodded to Zhang Guoqing, and Zhang Guoqing responded: "Is Dayong here?"

After saying hello to Li Dayong, Zhang Guoqing looked back at Zhao Youcai and said, "That's all right. Youcai, I'm leaving. Let's chat."

"You don't want to eat?" Zhao Youcai asked again, pretending to be polite, and then sent Zhang Guoqing out.

"Let's go to the second cafeteria to eat." Zhang Guoqing said, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Zhao Youcai: "Tomorrow our children will celebrate with Lao Ma's family, right?"

"Yeah." Zhao Youcai smiled proudly when he mentioned Zhao Jun.

It’s time to say something or not, but that son showed his face.

"What..." Zhang Guoqing glanced aside and saw that only Li Dayong was there. He knew that Li Dayong and Zhao Youcai were closer than brothers, so he directly said to Zhao Youcai: "If the family is short of something, you can take care of it yourself. "

"Hey!" Zhao Youcai responded with a smile, but said: "I don't need anything, I have everything at home."

Zhang Guoqing was right. The wild meat in the cafeteria was all related to the Zhao family. The wild boar meat in the cafeteria is rich, let alone the Zhao family.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Zhang Guoqing said something to Zhao Youcai, nodded to Li Dayong, and then stepped out of the kitchen.

"Brother!" As soon as Zhang Guoqing left, Li Dayong came to Zhao Youcai in two steps and said, "Something happened!"

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned for a moment before being pulled by Li Dayong to sit on the long bench against the wall.

After Li Dayong finished talking about Li Daguai's murder, Zhao Youcai narrowed his eyes and murmured: "This big claw is dead!"

Some people say that the human body contains salt. Once a beast eats human flesh or drinks human blood, they will like the taste of human flesh and blood, and then continue to harm people.

But the hunters in the mountains don't think so. Beasts rejoice when they see blood. Not to mention the wild beasts in the mountains, even domestic chickens, ducks, and geese are like this.

Zhao Youcai remembered that when he was a child, he saw Wang Meilan's family killing chickens. The old Wang family was rich, so in the winter they killed chickens and geese in dozens or dozens of geese.

There was a scene that left a deep impression on Zhao Youcai to this day. When a chicken was disembowelled and the heart, liver, and gizzards were left alone, and the bloody chicken intestines were thrown aside, other poultry would come over to peck at it.

It's not surprising that chickens and ducks are like this, but geese, which are always vegetarian and don't even eat fish or shrimp, will actually eat bloody chicken offal.

This shows that all beasts love blood.

The Yong'an Forest Area belongs to the Changbai Mountains. Wild beasts have appeared here since ancient times, but there have not been a few incidents of tigers eating people in so many years.

Zhao Youcai heard from his father that tigers will not easily provoke people, especially people who go up the mountain to besiege. The smell of gunpowder and sweat mud on their bodies is strange to tigers, which will make tigers afraid to attack people easily.

This is like donkeys in Guizhou. People rarely see tigers, and tigers rarely see people. They don't even know that humans can be eaten.

Only when tigers are injured or food is scarce in disaster years, and tigers cannot catch enough prey to satisfy their hunger, they will attack people because they are hungry.

In Yong'an Forest Area, tigers mainly feed on wild boar and red deer. Compared to wild boars and red deer, humans are much slower, and they don’t even have the ability to resist when attacked by tigers.

Therefore, after tigers eat a human once, they often choose to continue hunting this easy-to-obtain food.

What Zhao Dazhu understands, the leaders of the forestry department naturally know. Therefore, Zhao Youcai was able to conclude that it was only a matter of time before the tiger died.

Twenty years ago, Zhao Youcai participated in a tiger hunting battle, but failed to get even a single tiger hair.

Twenty years later, Zhao Youcai had perfected his marksmanship and finally had another chance to hunt a tiger.

"Oh!" Suddenly, Zhao Youcai remembered that although he had a holiday tomorrow, he couldn't leave.

Zhao Youcai had been unreliable before, but those two times were not comparable to this time.

Tomorrow is the day for the Zhao family and the Ma family to celebrate, and he must attend.

Zhao Youcai was not ambiguous at all this time, and immediately said: "Not tomorrow!"

"Who asked you to fight tomorrow!" Li Dayong was not stupid, and even said: "It will be the day after tomorrow!"

After saying this, Li Dayong added: "Take a leave the day after tomorrow."

"Later..." Zhao Youcai was startled and sighed: "It won't work the day after tomorrow. Lao Zhang and his uncle are gone. If there is no one today, how about leaving in the morning the day after tomorrow? He has to go back to his parents' home with his wife."

Zhao Youcai knew the importance. In order to fight the siege and make money, he could throw his two daughters to Li Dayong, or he could make a fool of the two daughters. However, Zhao Youcai will not ruin the courtesy with his in-laws, nor will he delay his work.

"Ah..." Li Dayong clicked his eyes when he heard this, and then asked Zhao Youcai: "Brother, can you let Dachun do it for you?"

"No!" Zhao Youcai shook his head and said, "Not in Dachun."

"What's wrong?" As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Han Dachun, who had just finished cooking at the front window, came back. He threw the basin aside and asked Zhao Youcai, "What are you talking about me?"

Zhao Youcai, who was upset, rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "The day after tomorrow, there will be a duck stand and a double horse stand. I have to go to the small stove. Can you do it?"

"Ah..." When Zhao Youcai asked, Han Dachun's tone immediately softened and he muttered: "I can't do that."

"Brother!" At this time, Li Dayong called Zhao Youcai and asked, "What about the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow..." Zhao Youcai frowned and thought: "I wonder if Lao Zhang can come back. He said he has to go for two or three days."

"Where is his daughter-in-law's natal family?" Li Dayong asked Zhao Youcai again. If Zhang Guoqing's daughter-in-law's natal family is close to Yong'an, then the old man might be able to return after seeing him off the day after tomorrow.

"This..." Zhao Youcai hesitated and said, "I really don't know this."

"Um..." As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Han Dachun made some noise at the side. Li Dayong hurriedly looked at him and asked, "Brother Chun'er, do you know?"

Han Dachun shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Li Dayong: "..."

Zhao Youcai said angrily: "You don't know, you are doing this and that!"

Han Dachun glared at Zhao Youcai and said, "Old Zhang hasn't left yet, just ask him and that's it!"

"Ouch!" Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong looked at each other and said, "That's not good!"

Han Dachun glanced sideways at the two people, turned around to get the lunch box, and went to eat by himself.

"Brother, we can't wait until then." Li Dayong said: "Jianjun, Qi Shengli, and Zhou Chengguo are all outside. I heard that they seemed to say that they would let Zhou Chengguo go in the afternoon."

"It's useless for him to go." Zhao Youcai shook his head and said: "The bureau has not approved it, so he dares to fight?"

"Then what's there to be afraid of?" Li Dayong said anxiously: "Secretary Zhou went there in person, and the bureau will definitely approve it. After we finish the work here, we will report it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

This matter will be easy to handle as long as the bureau approves it. Even if it is knocked down by the big paw today, it will be fine when the time comes.

Li Dayong said to Zhao Youcai again: "Brother, this is your opportunity!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Youcai's eyes were small, but extremely bright. Just listen to Li Dayong continue to say: "Brother, if we knock off this big paw, we can take off the cow-butchering... hat!"

Upon hearing the word "cow slaughter", Zhao Youcai stood up suddenly and shouted inside: "Dachun, I'm going out for a while. You can keep an eye on me this afternoon."

After saying that, Zhao Youcai walked towards the compartment in the cafeteria.

This compartment in the canteen is equivalent to a private room, where guests usually eat. When there are no guests, this room is used by the canteen staff to store their clothes. Otherwise, there will be too much fumes from the cooking oil and the whole body will smell like oil smoke.

After entering the cubicle, Zhao Youcai was wearing a cotton monkey and a hat, and said to Li Dayong: "Brother, I'll go with Zhou Chengguo and Qi Shengli."

"Brother, be careful yourself!"

"Don't worry!" Zhao Youcai tied the cotton monkey button and walked out. But when he and Li Dayong came out of the kitchen, they could not find Zhou Chengguo and others in the cafeteria hall.

Zhao Youcai hurriedly ran out, but Jiefang's Jiefang brand car was no longer outside the canteen.

Zhao Youcai hurried to the logistics, knowing that Zhou Chengguo would definitely have to go back to the equipment depot to get the gun.

But when he was about to arrive at the logistics department, Li Dayong suddenly shouted.

"Hey! Hi! Minister!" Zhao Youcai looked to the right side of the road and saw a car going along the road.

How could a person catch up to a car, let alone being thrown so far behind by a car? At this moment, Zhou Jianjun was coming out of the logistics area with a thermos bottle. He heard Li Dayong's shout and looked over, "Dad, Uncle Li, what are you two doing?"

…

The car left Lengchang, Qi Shengli showed the way, and headed straight to the place where Qin Dajiang found Li Daguai's half-body body.

In the carriage, Zhou Chengguo, who was crowded in the passenger seat with Qi Shengli, held a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his arms and looked out the window calmly.

About fifteen minutes later, the car suddenly stopped. Instead of arriving at the place, we met head-on members of the security team who were returning.

Lin Xiangshun and Li Baoyu both stopped the car, and Liu Jinyong and Hong Yuntao got out of the car.

After a brief chat with a few people, they found out that when Liu Jinyong and Hong Yuntao were rushing over, they happened to meet Jie Zhong and his party.

With Lin Xiangshun and Li Baoyu around, it was easier for the two groups to talk. When Liu Jinyong asked, he found out that when Xie Zhong and others went up, the horses did not dare to move forward. Xie Zhong and others had no choice but to get off the sledge and go up.

Although Xing San doesn't have many bullets, he can't save them at this time. In particular, none of Xing San's nine bullets was an only son, so even if he encountered a tiger, it would be in vain.

So before he reached the place, Xie Zhong simply fired two shots.

Perhaps it was because of these two shots that the horse-eating tiger was frightened away. Then, when Jie Zhong took the tenants and Guileng workers to the place, they found that the horse's throat had been torn open, and the meat from the bottom of its neck to one of its front thighs had been eaten by the tiger.

Everyone dragged the dead horse down and met the security team coming to help. After hearing what Xie Zhong said about the situation, the security guards loaded their bullets and moved up in groups of threes under the leadership of Liu Jinyong and Hong Yuntao.

On the mountain, they did find traces of tigers swooping and leaping, but after searching for a long time, they could not find the tiger, let alone half of Li Daguai's body.

People are iron rice is steel.

After a whole morning of toil, the security guards were tired and hungry. Although they were unwilling to do so, they had to go back.

When he met Zhou Chengguo at this time, Liu Jinyong looked at him, then at Qi Shengli, and then said to Hong Yuntao: "Old Hong, you take the brothers back, and I will lead the way for Chengguo and the others."

Qi Shengli had been to that mountain before. But later on, someone has to lead the way in this place.

"Then you're not hungry?" Hong Yuntao said, "How about you go back and I'll go with them."

"Go back!" Liu Jinyong firmly rejected Hong Yuntao's kindness and said, "I'm fine."

When Liu Jinyong said this, all the security guards stopped working and all followed him to find the tiger.

Although this was painful for Lin Xiangshun and Li Baoyu, the atmosphere was so high that no one could complain about suffering and no one could complain about hunger.

So, the three cars rushed straight to the place where the evil tiger attacked the horse.

About an hour and a half later, everyone came to the big ash willow tree. Looking at the abandoned sledges, logs, and blood stains on the ground, Zhou Chengguo clicked his eyes twice, and then looked towards the second rib of the mountain.

"Old Zhou!" Upon seeing this, Liu Jinyong came over and pointed in the direction Zhou Chengguo was looking at, and said, "It seems that he is running up there."

"Let's go over and have a look." Zhou Chengguo picked up his gun and strode ahead. After seeing the traces of tigers leaping and leaping on the snow, Zhou Chengguo turned to Shengli and others and asked, "Old Chief Qin is watching at 46 Li Daguai?"

"Yes!" Qi Shengli said: "Our leader went there, didn't he find it?"

After Qi Shengli finished speaking, he saw Liu Jinyong and Hong Yuntao walking out together, looking at the mountain peak opposite.

The mountain farm opposite is not Linban 46, but Linban 45, which is where Xing San’s newly discovered Dapiwozi is located.

Further south from 45 Linban is 46 Linban. The tiger showed up at Linban 46 at around seven o'clock in the morning, and at eleven o'clock in the morning he appeared at Linban 44, the small one behind the big Linban 44.

In other words, the tiger traveled seventy or eighty miles in three hours.

Zhou Chengguo frowned, but finally shook his head and said, "I can't fix this thing."

"Huh?" Qi Shengli was stunned, and then heard Zhou Chengguo raise his hand and paddle forward, saying: "This area is full of top-notch tigers. The tiger can't be compared with the cat. We, the group of people, have been paddling for three days, but we can't pull it."

"This..." Qi Shengli said, "Chengguo, we have to bring something back to Lao Li's family."

Zhou Chengguo glanced at Qi Shengli after hearing this. He understood what Qi Shengli meant, so he said, "Then we have to go to 46."

Li Daguai disappeared over there, so he can't be found here. From here to 46 Linban, you have to walk 70 to 80 miles over mountains and ridges. You can go down and take a bus through the mountains, and you will arrive at the bottom of 46 Linban in about an hour.

It was already past three o'clock, and Zhou Chengguo and others hurried up. By the time they arrived at the place where Qin Dajiang had discovered Li Daguai, the light in the forest was already very dark.

The hungry guards lit pineapples and led Zhou Chengguo up to take a look. Zhou Chengguo felt his head buzzing.
