Chapter 255. Old Dog(1/2)
When Zhao Jun said that he wanted to help Tao Dabao catch the tiger, everyone in the room looked at him in shock.
Even Li Baoyu reached out and tugged Zhao Jun's sleeve and whispered: "Brother, you don't drink either, so why are you talking nonsense?"
If Li Baoyu had been drinking, he would have dared to say such nonsense, and even dared to imitate Wu Erlang and go up the mountain to challenge a tiger. But now Li Baoyu had just poured the wine on him and he hadn't drank it yet.
When he was awake, Li Baoyu knew that the Siberian tiger was just like a wild black bear. If you wanted to kill it, you might be able to do so using some means. But if you wanted to capture it alive, it would be difficult.
If nothing else, let’s just say that there are more than a thousand militiamen in the Yongxing Brigade. Tao Dabao pulled them up the mountain. Why can’t they be killed?
But if you want to catch a Siberian tiger alive, it will be difficult. After all, if you want to catch a tiger alive, you can't use a gun.
But if you don't use a gun, you can't threaten the tiger. If you scratch it with those big claws, the skin will be torn apart. If you put a chokehold, it will be fatal.
In ordinary times, the person who believes in Zhao Jun the most is Li Baoyu. If he doesn’t even believe it now, then who else can believe what Zhao Jun says?
But for the Tao family, Zhao Jun was their guest no matter what. If he had doubts, Li Baoyu could say it, but they couldn't.
At this time, Tao Fulin winked at his eldest son.
Tao Dabao saw it, but what could he say?
Just listen to him say: "Zhao Jun, how do you want to catch him? Is it a net or a trap?"
"No need for anything." Zhao Jun moved his rice bowl to the side and told everyone his plan with gestures on the Kang table.
But what Zhao Jun didn't expect was that after listening to what he said, the people in the room looked at me and I looked at you, and they all remained silent.
"Ahem." Tao Dabao cleared his throat and said to Zhao Jun: "Okay, Zhao Jun, I have remembered everything you said. When I go back to discuss it with Lao Yu, we will discuss it if there is really nothing more to do.
I'll do as you say.
What Tao Dabao said was that he really had no choice but to do as Zhao Jun said. Everyone present, even the youngest Tao Fei, could tell that Tao Dabao was trying to save face for Zhao Jun.

"Okay, you guys hurry up and eat, I'll go back first." After Tao Dabao finished speaking, he stood up and left.
At this time, Tao Fulin was also afraid that Zhao Jun would think too much, so he diverted his attention to greet everyone to start eating.
But Zhao Jun didn't take it seriously and finished two bowls of rice in a hurry.
After finishing their meal, Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, Tao Fulin, and Tao Fei all went back to their houses to rest.
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu lived together. At this time, they were soaking their feet in the house. There was a large basin filled with hot water. Zhao Jun was sitting on the edge of the kang, and Li Baoyu was sitting on the bench. The two of them had their four feet in the basin.
Just listen to Li Baoyu say to Zhao Jun: "Brother, what are you thinking about today?"
"What?" Zhao Jun was stunned when Li Baoyu asked.
Li Baoyu added: "The tiger-catching trick you told Uncle Tao was too inappropriate."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he glared at Li Baoyu and said angrily: "What do you know? This is how old men catch tigers."
"Ah?" Li Baoyu was a little surprised when he heard this: "How do you know what this old man is doing?"
"This..." Zhao Jun was startled by his question again. He was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
In his previous life, when he was collecting ginseng in the Far East, he did see Lao Maozi catching Siberian tigers, but he couldn't tell Li Baoyu this.
Seeing that Zhao Jun stopped talking, Li Baoyu pulled one of his feet up from the basin, took the rag and wiped it, and then said: "Brother, the trick you mentioned is not possible at first sight. I feel like, if we were Brother Zhang,
Here, maybe he can come up with something good."
"Who?"
"Zhang Yuanmin." Li Baoyu said, "You should say it or not. This old boy just memorizes ideas, but he is really good at beating up the blind."
"Go to the side quickly." Zhao Jun grabbed the rag from Li Baoyu's hand, wiped his feet, and said angrily to Li Baoyu: "Go and pour the water."
"I'll do it tomorrow." Li Baoyu said, climbed onto the kang and got into bed.
The next morning.
When Zhao Jun got up and washed up, Li Yunxiang was already making dumplings.
Yesterday, the hunter team of Yongxing Brigade went into the mountains and hunted a lot of prey. In the evening, the brigade shared some meat with the militiamen guarding the mountain. Tao Xiaobao got a roe deer thigh.
Li Yunxiang shaved off the meat from the roe deer's legs and put it in cold water overnight. When she got up this morning, she chopped the meat into stuffing and added chopped green onions to make dumplings.
Although there are old and young, there will definitely not be enough food for five men without 200 dumplings.
Li Yunxiang also cooked some more. After cooking, fished out the water, let it cool, and put it in an aluminum lunch box to give to Zhao Jun and the others. Since they couldn't come back from the siege at noon, they built a fire in the mountains to bake dumplings and eat them.
Li Yunxiang used the remaining dumpling soup to boil corn noodles with salt, put them in a large basin and set them aside to feed the dogs after they cooled down.
In the past two days, Li Yunxiang helped feed the dogs. But today there was a little bear. The dog had to be fed by others. Zhao Jun had to feed it himself.
So, after eating, Zhao Jun took the basin of corn noodles and went out to feed the dog.
The six dogs ate together. The Tao family certainly didn't have that many dog food bowls, but they had a big manger. Zhao Jun filled the manger with cornmeal and noodles and fed them to the six dogs in piles to prevent them from fighting.
.
The six dogs had just finished eating. Li Baoyu and Tao Fei, who had just finished eating, also came out. They stood side by side, watching Zhao Jun continue to add more food to the dogs.
"Brother Li." Tao Fei pointed at Hua Xiao'er and asked Li Baoyu curiously, "Why does this dog have so many injuries?"
When a hunting dog fights with a wild boar or black bear, how can anyone not be injured?
As long as the dog has been injured, even if the hair grows back after the wound heals, the hair will still be different from the original hair.
Among the six dogs, Hua Xiaoer has the most scars on his body. His body can be said to be riddled with scars.
Hearing Tao Fei ask himself, Li Baoyu turned around and took a look. Seeing that Tao Fei was pointing to Hua Xiao, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Tao Fei's hand back and said to him: "We Hua Xiao'er have been hunting for many years and have experienced hundreds of battles.
Isn’t it normal to lose money?”

"Has it been hunting for the longest time?" Tao Fei doesn't hunt, so naturally he doesn't understand what's going on here. He just said: "I saw that it was injured and thought it was not good, so I let the wild boar pick it up and the black blind man caught it."
After Tao Fei finished speaking, he saw Hua Xiaoer who stuck the dog's mouth in the manger and looked at him with raised eyes.
For a moment, Tao Fei was in a daze, wondering if the dog could understand what he said?
At this time, Li Baoyu explained from the side: "As I said, the injury was due to the age of the wei. Don't look at us as a beggar, but he is almost seven years old."
Hua'er is more than half a year old, and he went up the mountain when he was less than a year old. He has been doing siege for six years now, and he is really almost seven years old.
"Oh, this is an old dog!" Tao Fei blurted out. He didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to express his admiration.
But Hua Xiao'er really seemed to understand. Although it didn't raise its head, it also stopped licking the corn noodles.
It looked at Tao Fei with its two dog eyes, with a bad look in its eyes, its lips were slightly raised, its teeth were bared, and a purring sound came from between its lips and teeth.
Seeing this, Tao Fei hurriedly stepped behind Li Baoyu, held Li Baoyu's shoulders with both hands, looked towards Hua Xiao'er, and then asked Li Baoyu: "Can this dog understand what I say?"
"Then why not?" Li Baoyu said with a smile: "If you talk about it again, it will kill you."
After Li Baoyu finished speaking, he squatted down, stretched out his hand and stroked Hua Xiaoer's neck back and forth.
Touching the neck is the best way to make a dog feel cared for.
Hua Xiao'er was touched a few times by Li Baoyu, and then continued to eat silently.
Tao Fei didn't believe what Li Baoyu said, so he turned to look at Zhao Jun and asked, "Brother Zhao, this dog can really understand human speech."
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, nodded, and said: "I can understand it more or less."
As Zhao Jun said this, he also turned his attention to Hua Xiaoer.
Some people say the fox spirit, some say the yellow-skinned spirit, and some say the cat spirit. But if Zhao Jun says it, the most spiritual animal in the world is the dog.
Dogs can understand human language, and dogs also have emotions and emotions.
When Zhao Jun was working in the city in his previous life, he rented a basement to live in and the landlord lived upstairs.
He remembered that his landlord had a pet dog. Whenever the owner teased the puppy and said he wanted to give it away, the puppy would shed tears of grievance.
After the six dogs finished eating, Zhao Jun asked Tao Fei to get a rope and tie them one by one. Then the three men each led two dogs and left the house and ran into the mountains.
Today's trip has a goal, and the goal is the black bear Li Baoyu discovered yesterday.
The three of them followed yesterday's route into the mountain, and then Li Baoyu led the way to the pine tree.
Following Zhao Jun's order, they untied all six dogs, and then saw six dogs sniffing around.
Almost at the same time, Hua Xiaoer and Xiao Xiong both ran out, followed by Daqing.
After running a few steps, the little bear opened his mouth to bark, and he barked all the way down the hillside.
As soon as it barked, the three dogs that were left beside the three people all turned around in unison and followed it all the way away.
Zhao Jun and others stood on top, watching the six dogs going down the hillside, but they did not expect that Hua Xiaoer, who was the first to set off, would be the last.
"Alas!" Zhao Jun sighed in his heart when he saw this. Hua Xiaoer is indeed old.
If in the past, Hua Xiaoer, as the alpha dog, would run out and bark when it encountered prey, and then the other dogs would follow, it would not be so obvious.
But now there is a little bear, which is a running and barking dog. It barks all the way, and the other dogs follow.
At this time, it can be seen that Hua Xiaoer is old and frail and can no longer run.
"Brother." Li Baoyu also noticed it and asked Zhao Jun in disbelief: "Is Hua Xiaoer..."
