"Comrade Zhao, Secretary Maolin asked you to come over." The Xianjiqiao militiamen came to the Youth Farm, looked around, and finally found Zhao Jianguo.
"Oh, what's the matter with Secretary Maolin?" Zhao Jianguo was a little surprised. Why did Zhou Maolin come to him at this time? And he was also a little dissatisfied with Zhou Maolin. Youth Farm would have no affiliation with Xianji Bridge in the future. Zhao Maolin asked him
If he has something to do, he should come to the Youth Farm instead of running there by himself. But thinking that the Youth Farm now relies on Xianji Bridge for food rations, even if Zhao Jianguo is dissatisfied, he cannot show it.
"It's a very important thing. I heard that you beat a black blind man and injured another one?" Xiao Wu asked.
"That's what happened." Zhao Jianguo's face suddenly became a little weird, wondering if Zhou Maolin wanted to get some bear meat from them. Xianjiqiao shot two wild boars at first, but didn't give any to Youth Farm. Now,
However, Zhao Jianguo was very reluctant to get the idea of bear meat.
"Don't worry, Secretary Maolin doesn't want to share your bear meat. Do you think the black blind man is so easy to beat? Do you know that you are in big trouble! Not only are you in trouble, but we, Xianji Bridge, are also in trouble.
Misfortune will follow you!" Xiao Wu felt angry when he thought of this. His tone of voice naturally became a little fierce.
"What are you doing? The black bear belongs to your Xianjiqiao brigade? Can't we fight?" Chen Renshan shouted immediately at the side.
"I'm too lazy to tell you. Death is imminent, and we haven't even counted it yet! Zhao Jianguo, I've already informed you, it's up to you whether you go or not." Xiao Wu turned around and left.
"Who are you? It seems like everything in the mountains belongs to their Xianjiqiao brigade. What's wrong with us hunting black bears? We eat black bear meat every day and don't give you any points from Xianjiqiao. I'm going to piss you off!" Chen Renshan directed at Xiao.
Wu's back said loudly.
But Xiao Wu stepped into the wind and snow without looking back.
"Jianguo, don't pay attention to the people in Xianjiqiao. They are just jealous that we have hunted a black bear, so they came here to get a share of the meat from us. We would rather feed the black bear meat to the dogs than give it to the people in Xianjiqiao. They
What the hell!" Chen Renshan said.
Since fighting back the black bear, Chen Renshan has become the most popular figure in the youth farm. He has completely overshadowed Xiao Guangming. In the current security team, Chen Renshan has become the most talked about figure. Xiao Guangming, Lu Senlin and others are slower.
Slowly being marginalized.
"I'd better go over there. What if there's something important? Renshan, bring me a bear paw. After all, we still eat the rations provided by Xianjiqiao. If we offend them, if they get stuck, our farm
Life will be uncomfortable." Zhao Jianguo thought about it and decided to go there.
Although he was very reluctant, what Zhao Jianguo said made sense. It would be very easy for Zhou Maolin to manage the Youth Farm. At least until the early rice harvest next year, the Youth Farm would still have to look at Zhou Maolin's face.
"I'll go with you." Chen Renshan said.
Zhao Jianguo shook his head: "Come with me to Fudong. The guards should pay more attention and don't let wild beasts destroy our rice fields."
Chen Renshan immediately felt unhappy. Zhao Jianguo obviously didn't really take him seriously yet. He still trusted Dai Fudong more.
After walking out of the farm, Dai Fudong looked back and said, "How come the security team is so reckless like Xiao Guangming? This Chen Renshan feels like he is about to become the second Xiao Guangming now."
"Yes. We need to restrict it so that there can't be another Xiao Guangming. Youth Farm can't mess with it anymore. Otherwise, next year's spring plowing and production will not be able to continue." Zhao Jianguo said.
"What business can Secretary Zhou have with you?" Dai Fudong immediately turned the topic to Zhou Maolin.
"I feel like he seems to have something on his mind. It doesn't seem like he wants to get some bear meat from us." Zhao Jianguo weighed the bear paw in his hand. This bear paw is actually just a name, and there is nothing special about eating it.
.
"What could that be?" Dai Fudong murmured.
"Listening to the militiaman's tone, I feel it has something to do with hunting black bears. But I can't figure out what exactly is going on. Is there any local custom at Xianji Bridge? I've never heard of it." Zhao Jianguo thought about it carefully.
, still can’t figure it out.
"Forget it, we'll find out when we get to Secretary Zhou's house later," Dai Fudong said.
When they walked into Xianji Bridge, Dai Fudong and Zhao Jianguo felt that something was wrong. Everyone in Xianji Bridge was busy in their yards. One by one they were moving stones to strengthen the courtyard walls.
"Fellow folks, it's snowing so heavily, why are you still busy building courtyard walls?" Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but ask.
"They were not killed by you short-lived ghosts!" the other party replied fiercely in a dialect that Zhao Jianguo couldn't understand. Although Zhao Jianguo couldn't quite understand, he could hear his dissatisfaction with them from the other party's tone.
"Jianguo, I feel that the people in Xianji Bridge are particularly hostile to us. Even the poor people stared at us when they saw us." Dai Fudong felt that the situation was getting more and more wrong. A while ago, Xiao Guangming was acting recklessly.
, the people of Xianjiqiao had objections to them, but their attitude only became indifferent, and this time, it turned directly into hatred.
Zhao Jianguo nodded, something was wrong!
When they arrived at Zhou Maolin's house, both of them were already dressed in white, and their green military-green fur hats had turned into white hats. The fluff on their ears was also covered with snowflakes. Even their eyebrows and beards were white.
turned white.
"Here, come inside and sit down." Zhou Maolin was also building the fence in the yard. When he saw Zhao Jianguo and the two of them, he said calmly, not as enthusiastic as before.
"Secretary Zhou, why are all the people in the brigade building the courtyard wall?" Zhao Jianguo asked.
"Let's talk after we go in." Zhou Maolin sighed.
After entering the house, Zhao Jianguo handed the bear paw to Zhou Maolin: "Secretary Zhou, our security team went into the mountains and shot a black bear this time. I brought you a bear paw."
Zhou Maolin almost jumped up: "Take it out! Take it out quickly!"
To Zhou Maolin, this bear's paw is like a bomb. It's deadly!
Seeing Zhou Maolin's immediate change of color, Zhao Jianguo and Dai Fudong became even more confused. The expression Zhou Maolin showed this time did not look like a polite excuse. Instead, he was completely afraid!
"Secretary Zhou, what's wrong?" Zhao Jianguo asked in confusion.
"Quick! Take it out, take it out quickly!" Zhou Maolin roared angrily.
Zhao Jianguo quickly lifted the bear's paw into the yard.
"No, don't put it in the yard, put it outside. When you leave later, you must pick it up!" Zhou Maolin thought for a while and then changed his mind, "Forget it, you leave now. I'll be with you.
Let’s talk on the way.”
Zhao Jianguo and Dai Fudong looked at each other and already had some clues in their minds.
"You young people from the city are so bold! The black blind man was beaten to death. Do you know how terrifying an injured black blind man is?" Zhou Maolin was quite angry.
"Secretary Zhou, we don't understand." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Originally I didn't want to interfere with your affairs, but this time it's a matter of life and death. If I don't care about it, I will feel bad about it in the future." Zhou Maolin said.
Zhou Maolin glanced into the mountains and then said: "Many years ago, a brigade in Dashui Commune injured a black bear in the mountains. After winter, the black bear did not hibernate and sneaked into the brigade at night. The whole brigade stayed there all night
It killed and injured dozens of people. Now there are still dozens of disabled people in that brigade."
"Will the black bear take revenge?" Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but ask.
"The black bear has a strong desire for revenge. The two black bears you killed and wounded are a pair. This feud has become bigger. The injured black bear will 100% retaliate. Get ready. You all have guns in your hands.
, if you are lucky and hit the injured black bear, then nothing will happen." Zhou Maolin said.
Only then did Zhao Jianguo and Dai Fudong realize why every household in Xianji Bridge was rushing to reinforce their courtyard walls in the snow. It turned out to be to guard against black bears. No wonder Zhou Maolin was so afraid of the bear paws in his hands because he was worried about the smell of the bear paws.
It will attract the injured black bear.
"Secretary Zhou, is there any better way to take precautions?" Zhao Jianguo also began to worry.
"No, no one can be sure when this black blind guy will come back. Otherwise, if you know when it will come, just organize a militia to kill it. It is impossible to guard against it!" Zhou Maolin said.
Zhao Jianguo feels that after returning, as long as the security team is arranged to stand guard day and night, there should be no big problem. The Xianji Bridge is so noisy and full of soldiers, it seems a bit exaggerated.
"I've made the matter clear to you. Let's think of a solution as soon as we get back. I want to go back and build the courtyard wall as soon as possible," Zhou Maolin said.
Back at Youth Farm, Zhao Jianguo said: "Fudong, what do you think?"
"It's just an injured black bear. Is it really that scary? But Secretary Maolin's behavior doesn't seem to scare us. It's that they are really scared." Dai Fudong said.
"Yes. This is what I don't understand. With so many guns in our security team, can't we deal with an injured black bear? How is that possible?" Zhao Jianguo said.
"Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. I think the people in Xianji Bridge are scared. In fact, it is not that scary. Forget it, let Renshan and his security team pay more attention and arrange people to take precautions at night.
"There is no need to tell everyone, so as not to make everyone too nervous," Dai Fudong said.
"That's what I think too. As long as a few of us know about the black bear, there's no need to create tension on the farm," Zhao Jianguo said.
When Chen Renshan heard the news, he was very disdainful of Xian Jiqiao's behavior: "It's just a black bear. If you dare to come, you can bring us food. I'm worried that one black bear won't be enough for us to eat for a whole winter!"
