The whole mountain is my hunting ground

November 27, 1987.

Early in the morning, Zhao Jun was awakened by Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Jun was lying on the kang, raised his head from the pillow, and looked at the door of the room in a daze.

Next to Zhao Jun's pillow, the little lynx had its back arched, almost all the fur on its body was blowing, and it made a childish whine from its mouth.

"Ouch!" A strange dog bark scared away Zhao Jun's sleepiness. Seeing the black tiger rushing towards the kang, Zhao Jun subconsciously raised his arms out of the bed.

Seeing Zhao Jun slapping his hands and throwing himself in front of the kang, Black Tiger, who had just put his paws on the edge of the kang, lay down and rested his chin next to Zhao Jun's pillow, trying to be cute with his master.

"Pa!" But what greeted Hei Hu was a slap, and Zhao Jun slapped Hei Hu on the face.

"Ouch!" Black Tiger screamed, and the whole dog leaned backwards. When it fell to the ground, it rolled over on all fours and let out a series of strange screams as if hitting porcelain: "Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

"Don't bark!" Zhao Jun pointed at the black tiger and shouted, fearing that it would wake up his nephew and two sisters.

Black Tiger rolled up from the ground and slipped behind Zhao Youcai with his tail between his legs.

"Why are you beating a dog?" Zhao Youcai scolded Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun asked back: "Dad, why did you bring him in?"

"What else are you doing?" Zhao Youcai said angrily: "We have been lame for so long. We have prepared plasters, but you still don't want to use them on others?"

Chief Zhao was a little anxious. He did a rough calculation yesterday and found that his dog gang already had eleven members, but it lacked a decent leader.

Now that Big Fatty is gone, Little Bear is nursing the baby again, Qinglong and Black Dragon are still young, so Zhao Youcai puts his wishful thinking on Black Tiger.

It takes a few days for the new dog to get acquainted with the new dog, so he took this opportunity to heal Heihu's leg injury.

In fact, the black tiger's leg injury was not serious. It was not a broken leg, but a misaligned joint.

When he was in the Yongxing brigade, the doctor reattached his bones, but he didn't recover very well afterwards, and the leg is still not very strong now.

But this is not Zhao Jun’s fault. The main reason is that this dog is too restless. When he is lame, he steals chickens, climbs over walls, and fights with other dogs. It’s strange that he can do it easily.

But even so, the current black tiger can also go up the mountain and run. And except for going downhill, its speed is no slower than other dogs.

This shows that Black Tiger's talent and physical condition are both good. If the leg injury is cured, he will definitely be great.

Zhao Youcai turned around and touched the black tiger's head, and said to Zhao Jun: "I'll put a splint on it in a while. Can I still let it sit outside?"

"What can't it do? It's not like it's injured and needs to be left in the house." Zhao Jun frowned and said, "Besides, I don't want to leave it outside. You can just give it a whole warehouse. What can you do if you don't have to keep it in the whole house?"

With that said, Zhao Jun pulled out the little lynx that had escaped into his bed.

When Zhao Jun pulled him out of bed, the little lynx was still a little frightened. It exposed its claws for the first time and hooked Zhao Jun's back without letting go.

Zhao Jun took off the little lynx's paws from the quilt and said to Zhao Youcai: "I won't stay home for a while. My mother is still busy and didn't watch it. What if it gets eaten by the kitten again?"

"What are you eating?" Zhao Youcai stepped forward, snatched the little lynx from Zhao Jun's hand, and brought it to the black tiger, saying: "Huzi, remember, you can't eat this!"

Black Tiger raised his eyes to look at Zhao Youcai, while the little lynx was trembling in Zhao Youcai's hands.

When Zhao Youcai saw Hei Hu looking at him, he immediately smiled and said, "We tigers understand!"

After saying that, Zhao Youcai handed the little lynx to Heihu's mouth, and Heihu looked away in a dignified manner.

"Look!" Zhao Youcai turned around and glared at Zhao Jun, saying, "What did I say? It doesn't even bite."

Zhao Jun was speechless. Black Tiger could understand people's words. The key was that he had the right idea. He could do one thing in front of others and another behind his back, and he could do it more smoothly than anyone else.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was silent, Zhao Youcai became more energetic. He taught Zhao Jun a lesson and said, "Can you still keep the kitten in the house in the future? Don't you want it to be gregarious with dogs? Why don't you find a dog leash first?" it?"

When Zhao Jun heard this, he felt that what Zhao Youcai said made sense, but when he looked at the black tiger, the dog was hiding behind Zhao Youcai, sticking its head out from Zhao Youcai's legs to look at Zhao Jun.

When Zhao Jun's eyes met, he didn't know whether he was afraid of Zhao Jun or felt guilty. The dog suddenly raised his head and looked at the shed.

At this moment, Wang Meilan, who had gone out to change tofu, came back.

Wang Meilan was in a hurry when she was leaving home. She didn't wear gloves, and her hands were frozen during the walk.

As soon as she entered the house and saw that the door of Zhao Jun's room was open, Wang Meilan put the basin on the stove and walked to the west room, asking, "Why did my son get up so early?"

"Mom! Look at my dad!" Zhao Jun immediately complained and said, "He came in because of a dog!"

As soon as he heard Wang Meilan's movement, Black Tiger waggled his tail and rushed towards her. This dog could clearly tell the difference between the big and small kings.

"Oops!" Wang Meilan saw the black tiger and asked Zhao Youcai, "Why did you bring it in? There are so many people in our house every day, and you have to eat in this house at night, can you let it go?"

Zhao Youcai was stunned by Wang Meilan's question. Wang Meilan was right. There were twenty or thirty people in Tiantian's family, including adults and children, and they couldn't move around. How could there be room for the black tiger?

"I'm not thinking about it." Zhao Youcai still said stubbornly: "It's so pitiful that people still live outside after they have been plywooded."

"If you think it's pitiful, you put up a board to offer it!" Wang Meilan was silenced by Zhao Youcai, and then Wang Meilan rushed out, waved her hand, and said: "Give it a warehouse!"

Zhao Youcai did not dare to refute, so he waved to Heihu and said, "Let's go, Huzi, they can't tolerate us."

The black tiger could see some features of the eyebrows. As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he started to walk out of the house.

Before leaving the house, he raised his head and glanced sideways at Wang Meilan.

"Yeah!" Wang Meilan was slightly startled and immediately raised her hand to point at Black Tiger.

When he saw Wang Meilan pointing at him, the black tiger clamped its tail, weakened its hind legs, and sat directly on the ground.

"I'm telling you, please calm down." Wang Meilan warned Heihu, "You are going to lay a lamb for that sheep, and I will let you live."

The big ewe that Zhao Jun brought back from the Zhou family a few days ago successfully became pregnant again.

Hearing Wang Meilan's scolding, Black Tiger tucked his tail between his legs, followed Zhao Youcai and slipped out the door.

Wang Meilan glared at the back of Zhao Youcai's head and muttered: "What a bastard!"

Zhao Jun chuckled and got up from the kang. Wang Meilan looked at him and said, "Son, please lie down for a while."

"Don't lie down anymore, Mom." Zhao Jun took the cotton-padded jacket and put it on, and said, "Get up, my dad and I will fix Hei Hu's legs."

After saying this, Zhao Jun asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, is the soup ready?"

"You've already had a good night's sleep!" Wang Meilan pointed towards the outhouse and said, "Why don't you put it under the window of the outhouse?"

"Mom, heat up a bowl for Huzi." After Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Meilan agreed and walked out. When she arrived at the outhouse, the water in the pot was running low.

Wang Meilan went outside and took Heihu's dog food bowl into the house. The basin where the black tiger eats is always licked clean and it is shiny without brushing.

Wang Meilan scooped out half a ladle of hot water from the pot and poured it into Heihu's rice bowl. Then, Wang Meilan opened the casserole under the window, scooped out a spoonful of soup and meat, and poured it into the hot water in the basin.

What was in the casserole was ginseng old hen soup, a legendary recipe for replenishing qi.

It is said that if a woman drinks a bowl of it after giving birth, her physical condition will be better than before giving birth.

It's so powerful, so don't dare to give Black Tiger too much at one time. Just add a little less water to dilute it.

After getting dressed, Zhao Jun came out of the back room. When he walked over to take Heihu's rice bowl, he said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, heat up three bowls of that soup. You, my dad, my sister, and you three will drink it."

Although this soup is good, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na are still young and cannot drink it. Zhao Jun is a young man, and he can't drink. Therefore, Zhao Jun asked Wang Meilan, Zhao Youcai, and Zhao Chun to drink.

Wang Meilan was a little moved when she heard this, but she blinked her eyes twice and said, "Put two bowls in. It's not much in total. Let's give it to your dad and your eldest sister."

"Oh!" Zhao Jun, who was about to go out, turned around and said, "You can drink it too, Black Tiger doesn't use much, just drink it for two days."

"Okay then." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Mom, let's try it."

After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun smiled and pushed the door open.

When he arrived at the warehouse, Zhao Youcai had already applied plaster and splint to Heihu's leg.

It should be said or not, this dog is very understanding of human nature. Zhao Youcai didn't let it move, but Black Tiger didn't move at all.

But when Zhao Jun came to the warehouse with soup, Heihu couldn't sit still after smelling the smell.

Looking at the black tiger licking the soup, Zhao Youcai happily said to Zhao Jun standing aside: "Look at this dog, give it more food."

"Yeah." Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's food. If you give it a bowl, it can drink it."

After feeding the dog, the two men entered the house from outside. Zhao Jun went in to fold the quilt. Zhao Youcai glanced at Wang Meilan who was cutting tofu and asked: "Lan Na, what do you want to do?"

If the tofu is stewed, Wang Meilan holds the tofu in one hand and cuts it with a knife in the other, adding it to the pot while cutting.

But at this time, Wang Meilan put the tofu on the cutting board and cut mahjong pieces.

"Take a tofu dip." Wang Meilan said, "Boss is happy to eat it."

Tofu puff is the local name, and some places outside call it homemade tofu. Cut the tofu into cubes and fry it, then drizzle it with soy sauce.

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai hurriedly said: "Then put the knife over there and I'll do it!"

Zhao Youcai is a chef and his cooking is definitely better than Wang Meilan's.

But at this time, Wang Meilan was holding a kitchen knife in her hand and pointed the tip on the cutting board. She looked at Zhao Youcai sideways and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

In Wang Meilan's eyes, Zhao Youcai's face seemed to have the words "show courtesy for nothing" written on his face.

"Hehehe..." Zhao Youcai chuckled, walked closer to Wang Meilan and said, "Lan, I'm thinking... I'll get some more dogs."

While speaking, Zhao Youcai carefully observed Wang Meilan's expression.

"Ah..." Wang Meilan heard this and handed the kitchen knife handle to Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai was stunned by her actions and asked subconsciously: "Lan Na, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you did it?" Wang Meilan put the kitchen knife into Zhao Youcai's hand, then stepped aside and said: "You do it, your cooking is delicious."

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai clicked his eyes twice and asked softly: "Lan Na, that dog..."

"Take it back." Wang Meilan said, "There is room in the courtyard now."

After saying that, Wang Meilan walked towards the back room, leaving behind Zhao Youcai who was holding a kitchen knife and was confused.

Wang Meilan agreed so happily that Zhao Youcai couldn't believe it.

…

The six members of the Zhao family were gathered around the small Kang table. The family was talking, laughing, and eating the dishes carefully cooked by Zhao Youcai.

After eating, Wang Meilan brought three bowls of soup, two of which were given to Zhao Youcai and Zhao Chun, and most of the remaining bowls were for herself.

After the soup is boiled, all the chicken flavor is absorbed into the soup, making it unpalatable. Therefore, Wang Meilan and the other three only drank the soup and left the meat to Black Tiger.

After taking a sip of the soup, Zhao Chun said with some emotion: "This is the second time I drink this soup. That time I was in confinement before I was born."

Several people were stunned when they heard Zhao Chun's words. It was good to be able to drink this soup once, and it must be said that the Zhou family's conditions were good.

But then I heard Zhao Chun say: "That time I borrowed my son's light, this time I borrowed my dog's light."

"Hahaha..." Amidst the laughter, Zhao Youcai put the empty bowl on the table. But at this time, Wang Meilan said: "My eldest daughter, you are blessed. Mom gave birth to you four, and she never drank this before she was born."

This was said to Zhao Chun, but Zhao Youcai knew that it was directed at him. He immediately wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said: "Lan Na, this thing is not worth mentioning. I'll give it to you when you get there tomorrow... "

Zhao Youcai stopped talking in the middle of his words. He felt that with Wang Meilan's current food, clothing and jewelry, he had nothing to wish for.

"You!" Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "It would be better for you to be less angry with me."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Zhao Jun and Zhao Chun were snickering on the sidelines, and then little Zhao Na suddenly interrupted and said, "Mom, didn't you say this about my second sister?"

"Hahaha..." Wang Meilan also laughed.

Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Wang Meilan, and then said to Zhao Jun: "I'll go see the little bear later, will you go?"

"Dad, are you going now?" Zhao Jun said, "I went up the mountain today. I thought I would leave home before leaving, so I went there on the way."

"Going up the mountain?" Zhao Youcai frowned and said, "You can't poke Gu's big paw."

"Yeah." Zhao Jun said, "I'll take the five dogs for a walk up the mountain. If there are any pigs, I'll catch them."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun sighed and said, "When I came back yesterday, I saw something was wrong with them."

"Huh?" After hearing Zhao Jun's words, Zhao Youcai stood up instantly, took off his cotton-padded jacket from behind the door, put it on and walked out.

Zhao Youcai and Zhao Jun came out of the house one after another, and they approached Qinglong and Heilong's nest.

Seeing the father and son coming, Qinglong and Heilong hurriedly avoided Zhao Youcai and rushed to greet Zhao Jun.

Whose dog is kissing whom? Zhao Youcai won't tolerate this jealousy.

He walked towards Erhei, who was extremely happy to see Zhao Youcai, his tail wagging continuously in mid-air.

Zhao Youcai came to Erhei and bent down, just in time when Erhei raised his front paws to dig at Zhao Youcai's body.

Zhao Youcai noticed something was wrong with Erhei with just one glance.

I owed a chapter yesterday and I should finish it in about one o'clock. If you guys are sleepy, go to bed first.
