The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Life is not easy these days. But because of this, people in the mountains are busy all year round and always want to have a good year.

Generally speaking, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in rural areas, those who raise pigs will begin to kill the New Year pigs.

When killing a pig, you need to invite friends to have a meal together at home to win over the relationship.

In the past, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong went hunting in the mountains. Although the family did not raise New Year pigs, there was no shortage of meat to entertain guests.

But since these two people concentrated on work, the Zhao and Li families could no longer treat guests to pork.

In the past few years, relatives and friends have been killing pigs and calling them over to eat and drink.

Although relatives and friends don't care about these things, there is still a lot of friendship owed.

Today is January 16, 1987, the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be in about ten days.

Wang Meilan thought of using the wild boar hunted by Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu to set up a few tables in the two courtyards with the Li family to entertain relatives and friends at home.

Jin Xiaomei had nothing to say about this and was in full agreement.

Next, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu had nothing to do, and the hostesses of the two families gathered together to discuss the treat.

That night, Zhao Youcai came back from get off work at the forestry farm. As soon as he entered the village, he heard the villagers praising his son and praising Zhao Jun for being like a father.

Zhao Youcai said a few polite words and returned home happily. As soon as he entered the yard, he took a look at the warehouse. When he saw the big pig's hooves, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but frown slightly and muttered: "It's a cannon egg again."

After saying that, he walked towards the kennel.

This is a hunter's habit. The first thing he does when he gets home is not to look at his wife or children, but to look at his dog.

Seeing the white dog wagging his head and his tail, Zhao Youcai looked happy and patted Bai Long on the head before walking into the house.

Entering the house, Zhao Youcai looked at Hua Xiaoer and Daqing again, then took off his cotton-padded jacket, washed his hands, and then sat on the kang to drink water.

At this time, Zhao Jun walked in and said, "Dad, we fucked pigs again today."

"Yes, I saw it." Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "Next time, don't beat the eggs all the time. The meat will be too hot and not tasty. Beat the old sows and yellow-haired pigs more often."

When Zhao Jun heard this, he smiled and said: "It's not just cannon eggs, there are other things too."

"Others? What's there? Old sow? Or Huang Maozi?" Zhao Youcai threw out several question marks in succession.

Zhao Jun said: "All of them!"

"Hit three?" This was Zhao Youcai. He was a little shocked when he heard that his son had killed three pigs in one day. But after all, he had rich experience and figured out the key after thinking about it for a moment. He asked Zhao Jun, "It's windy today. Why don't you touch the pigs?" Are you there?"

"OK."

"You are really promising." Zhao Youcai praised Zhao Jun in a rare way, but then asked a very pointed question: "Who did you learn your hunting skills from?"

This question is difficult to answer.

Zhao Jun knew that he couldn't explain it, and it wouldn't make sense to make up lies, so he simply said the most unreliable one, "I've been listening to you guys since I was a kid...ah, no, I'm telling you about hunting. I can even listen to it." ”

Zhao Youcai ignored the irritation in Zhao Jun's words and only asked: "Then you also listen to the shooting?"

"Shooting... then let's hug him." Zhao Jun pretended to be indifferent and said: "Just hug me, if you can't hold me, I'll pull you down."

Zhao Youcai was speechless. He couldn't talk anymore, and he wanted to teach this kid a lesson.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Meilan came in from the outer room and talked to Zhao Youcai about killing the New Year pig to treat guests, and Zhao Youcai agreed immediately.

Their forestry farm started to have a holiday on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month and lasted until the seventh day of the lunar month. Zhao Youcai planned to cook the dishes himself and entertain his relatives and friends on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After dinner, Zhao Jun returned to his room to rest. Zhao Youcai sat at the kang table, hugging his youngest daughter Zhao Na, and told her about his glorious deeds in the mountains in the past.

Zhao Hong looked at her biological father helplessly. She had heard these stories dozens of times since she was a child. Now that she has a little sister, she has to listen to them.

It wasn't until Wang Meilan finished cleaning up in the outer room and returned to the inner room that Zhao Youcai put down his little girl and said to Wang Meilan, "Lan, please keep an eye on your son these two days."

"What's wrong?" Wang Meilan asked.

"It's time to celebrate the New Year." Zhao Youcai said, "We'll just wait and celebrate the New Year. I'm willing to hunt and wait until the New Year is over before hunting again."

When Wang Meilan heard this, she realized that it was indeed the case. The New Year was about to come, and if something happened at this time, it would be unlucky for the next year.

Thinking of this, Wang Meilan nodded and responded: "It's up to you. I'll tell him tomorrow morning."

"It's useless to say it." Zhao Youcai said, "Just watch him more."

…

Early the next morning, when Zhao Jun got up to eat, Wang Meilan told him that from today until the end of the New Year, Zhao Jun was not allowed to go hunting in the mountains.

Zhao Jun had no objection to this and agreed immediately. There is a lot of work these days, and there is no shortage of meat at home. Moreover, Zhao Jun also wanted to take a stroll in the village and feel the old New Year atmosphere.

In the next few days, Zhao Jun stayed in the village, walking here and there.

Until the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Jun was in a small store, watching some uncles looking at small brands.

Suddenly, someone grabbed him from behind.

Zhao Jun looked back and said, "Hey, Brother Zhang, what are you here to buy?"

Zhang Yuanmin glanced around vigilantly, then stood on tiptoe and whispered to Zhao Jun: "Brother, come out and I'll tell you."

Zhao Jun was confused by this, and he thought to himself, what the hell was going on?

However, Zhao Jun still followed Zhang Yuanmin out of the small store.

As soon as he came out of the room, Zhang Yuanmin looked around furtively and pulled Zhao Jun to the corner of the wall.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Jun was confused.

Zhang Yuanmin suddenly smiled strangely and asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, shall we kill Heixiaizicang?"

"What?" Zhao Jun was speechless. It was just such a small matter. How about engaging in such a big battle?

Zhang Yuanmin said: "I, Lianqiao, went to my house for a drink yesterday and told me that there is a tree barn on the south side of 38 Linban, near the second rib of the 56 Linban mountain."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanmin winked at Zhao Jun. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious.

"Brother." Zhao Jun said to him earnestly: "We are just waiting for the New Year, so let's get started after the New Year. The black blind man is squatting in the warehouse and can't run away."

"This..." Zhang Yuanmin felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Zhao Jun said, but Zhao Jun saved his life last time. He felt that he and Zhao Jun were no different, so he explained: "I, Lian Qiao, are with Li Daguai. On the mountain above, it seems that Li Daguai is looking for someone to kill him."

"If he wants to kill, let him kill." Zhao Jun said: "Brother, the other day my sister-in-law told you that in the spring after the new year, I will prepare some medicinal deer medicine, and then we will medicinal deer, trim the antlers and deer fetuses, and we will sell them. Split the money.

How good is this? Isn't it much better than killing the black blind man? "

"That's true." Zhang Yuanmin affirmed at first, but then changed the topic and said, "But if this black blind man doesn't kill me, I feel pricked in my heart."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Jun was really helpless.

They were also dealt with by the black blind man, and Minister Li and Li Erchen were as scared as their grandsons.

But this elder brother was not only not afraid, but was actually heartbroken.

This is really hopeless.

But Zhao Jun could only say to him: "Brother, my mother has spoken. I won't be able to go up the mountain until the end of the year. I really can't go with you."

"It's okay, brother, then you play with them, I'll go back first." Zhang Yuanmin waved his hand magnanimously and said goodbye to Zhao Jun.

"Brother, please wait a moment." Zhao Jun grabbed Zhang Yuanmin and said to him: "You can't go by yourself. It's not like the other days. It's almost the Chinese New Year. It's not that my brother doesn't speak well, I won't. If we bump into each other, how can our family still celebrate the New Year?"

Zhao Jun's words were true to his heart, otherwise he would not have stayed at home so calmly.

Zhang Yuanmin also knew that Zhao Jun had good intentions and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I will ask Chen Dalai to follow me."

Zhang Yuanmin came to Zhao Jun with the intention of borrowing strength, and also had the good intention of breaking up Xiong Dan and Zhao Jun. In his opinion, it is better to give it to Zhao Jun than to give it to others.

But if Zhao Jun doesn't go, Zhang Yuanmin believes that someone is willing to go, because many people are short of money.
