At night, the wind was particularly loud, and the loud whistling of the cold wind could be heard from time to time. The two farm gates were banged by the wind.
"Why is the wind so strong in this mountain?" Zhao Jianguo muttered in the darkness.
Dai Fudong responded: "Yes. It's so cold in this damn place! Jianguo, we haven't prepared any charcoal. Many comrades have frostbite. How about we go to the Xianji Bridge Brigade and ask if we can distribute it?
Do we have some charcoal? We can exchange it with them for money or food stamps. Cloth stamps are also fine. I heard that people in rural areas are particularly in need of this."
"If we don't have a stalemate with them, we can get charcoal for not even a penny. Now that the relationship is so stalemate, even if we get money or food stamps, it won't work. But we still have to try. Secretary Zhou is still a
A very generous person." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Boom!"
There suddenly seemed to be a violent vibration outside the farm, a huge crash sounded, and then something seemed to collapse.
"What's going on? Could it be that the door was blown down by the wind?" Zhao Jianguo was startled and suddenly sat up from the bed. A chill poured into the bed from outside the bed.
Zhao Jianguo quickly grabbed the cotton coat that was lying on the quilt and put it on. Then he grabbed the cotton trousers and put them on. He picked up the green military hat on the pillow and put it on his head, then stood up solemnly.
stand up.
"Jianguo, what are you going to do?" Dai Fudong asked.
"Go out and have a look." Zhao Jianguo replied.
"Wait a minute. Even if the door is blown down, there is no way to repair it at night. Let's wait until daybreak!" Dai Fudong said.
Zhao Jianguo took out a lighter from his cotton coat. The flint kept producing tiny sparks, and the faint light flashed in the dark room. He struck it several times before igniting the gasoline lighter. Finally, the room was illuminated.
Zhao Jianguo followed the light of the lighter to find a lantern, opened the lampshade, and lit the lamp. The room was suddenly filled with a yellow halo of light.
"I always feel something is wrong. How can such a strong door be blown down so easily by the wind?" Zhao Jianguo frowned, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled, and white smoke began to disperse in the room.
open.
Dai Fudong said: "That's why I told you not to go out. If that thing is really coming, it won't help if you go out. We don't have a gun here. Are you going to fight that black bear with your fists?"
"
"I'm worried about something happening to the farm." Zhao Jianguo said.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot broke the silence of the night.
"The black bear is coming!"
In the darkness, someone yelled.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Several gunshots rang out in succession.
Lights came on in each room one after another.
As soon as Zhao Jianguo heard the gunfire, his heart immediately thumped, "Oh no! Something really happened this time!"
Without any further hesitation, Zhao Jianguo opened the door and walked out. As soon as the door opened, a strong cold wind immediately hit his face, making Zhao Jianguo unable to breathe.
"Who shot just now?" Zhao Jianguo had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Jianguo, it seems that the gun was placed in Xiao Guangming's room just now!" Zhou Xianglin ran over.
"Where is Chen Renshan?" Zhao Jianguo asked.
"Renshan also chased him out," Zhou Xianglin said.
"Is anyone injured?" Zhao Jianguo asked.
"It seems not." Zhou Xianglin said.
"Has anyone seen a black bear?" Zhao Jianguo felt a little relieved.
"No. The farm gate collapsed and made a loud noise. Renshan was the first to get dressed, told me that the black bear was coming, and ran out with a gun. But the gunshot was first heard from Xiao Guangming's room
Come out." Zhou Xianglin said.
"Let's go over and have a look." Zhao Jianguo walked straight to the room of Xiao Guangming and the other three. Xiao Guangming, Lu Yulin, and Lu Senlin lived in the same room, which was relatively close to the farm gate. They first discovered that the black bear did not
Accident.
When Zhao Jianguo and his party came to the room where Xiao Guangming and others lived, they were surprised to find that the door was locked.
Zhao Jianguo knocked on the door, and soon voices came from inside.
"Who is it?" The voice seemed to be Lu Yulin's.
"I'm Zhao Jianguo, please open the door. I want to ask about something." Zhao Jianguo said loudly.
"Xiao Guangming and Lu Senlin went to hunt black bears with guns, and I was the only one inside."
After a while, Lu Yulin got dressed, opened the door, and struck a few matches before lighting the kerosene lamp.
"Did Xiao Guangming shoot just now? Did he shoot a black bear?" Zhao Jianguo asked.
"No matter what, with his shooting skills, even if he shoots at the head of a black bear, he may not be able to hit it," Lu Yulin said disdainfully.
"Have you seen a black bear?" Zhao Jianguo asked.
Lu Yulin shook his head: "I didn't get up at all. It would be strange to see him. But Xiao Guangming must have seen it. He aimed at the window for a long time before taking a shot. When I heard him curse, I knew he must have missed the shot.
He also wants to kill a black bear and re-establish prestige on the farm. In fact, the last time he killed the wild boar, it didn't have much to do with him. Originally I didn't want to say it, but Xiao Guangming is too selfish."
Lu Yulin kept talking about old stories, but no one wanted to listen. Everyone was a little disdainful of Lu Yulin.
Zhao Jianguo walked out of the room and said loudly: "Everyone go back to your room first, close the door, turn on the lights, and don't sleep for a while. The security team gathered immediately, brought their guns, and immediately stood guard in the farm. If they see a black bear, shoot immediately. Be sure to watch
Be clear, don’t hurt anyone by mistake!”
"Fudong, go and count the number of people and see how many people are missing from the farm." After Zhao Jianguo finished speaking, he assigned tasks separately.
Dai Fudong nodded: "I'll go right away."
At this time, several more gunshots were heard from a distance.
"Maybe we found a black bear." Dai Fudong said.
"I'll leave the farm to you, and tell the people on the farm not to come out. I'll take people over to take a look," Zhao Jianguo said.
Zhao Jianguo also took a gun and walked with several members of the security team to the place where the gunfire came from.
There is a vast expanse of white everywhere outside, and the snow is very bright. Even though it is night, you can see very far.

Chang Xing was awakened by a burst of gunfire and hurried down the mountain, fearing that something might happen to Xianji Bridge.
This time Chang Xing took Dahuang with him, and Dahei volunteered to follow him out, but was slapped by the old cat and fell into the firewood pond. Dahei refused to listen to the old cat and roared at the old cat, and the old cat just slapped him with his claws.
Dahei Dahei, if you listen to that bastard Taoist priest, you will be tricked to death by him sooner or later. I really care about you, Miaoye, and you still don’t know what is good and evil. That idiot Dahuang can just go and die if he wants to. Then Miaoye, I will
Share some of the dog meat. You ran over to die, do you want to piss me off? If it weren't for the sake of your dead mother, Master Meow wouldn't care about your life or death.
Although Dahei was dissatisfied, he had no chance to resist under the old cat's claws.
Chang Xing originally thought that the cat's legs were short and its running ability was still inferior to that of Dahuang. He didn't bother with the old cat.
After a while, Chang Xing and Dahuang ran to Xianji Bridge.
"Chang Xing, I knew you would go down the mountain. It was the youth farm who was shooting. This time, the black blind man should be here. The other black blind men must have hibernated at this time and will not come out. Only the black blind man
He was injured and will not hibernate. And he must have gone to seek revenge on the people at the Youth Farm. The black blind man is very evil and has a strong desire for revenge." Zhou Maolin was wearing a thick fur coat.
Seeing that Xian Jiqiao was fine, Chang Xing finally felt relieved and said, "It's fine as long as everything is fine."
"I don't know if the black blind man was hit by them. But don't let anything happen." Zhou Maolin said.
"They deserve what happened." Zhang Xilai said.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, his father Zhang Fangqing hit him on the head: "You said it lightly. If this black blind man sees blood, he will go on a killing spree! By then, our Xianji Bridge will not be able to live in peace either.
!”
"Dad, just say what you say. Why are your hands so heavy? My head is already so smart that Chang Xing and the others are smart. If you hit me on the head again, you will become even more stupid in the future." Zhang Xilai said dissatisfied.
Zhou Maolin quickly made arrangements: "Nothing is going on for now, let's all go back to sleep. The militia company will arrange patrols. If there is any movement, fire immediately. If you see a black bear, don't chase it. If you can, hit it. If you can't, don't chase it!"
"
"Secretary Maolin, there are so many dogs in Xianji Bridge. If a black bear comes, the dogs will bark." Xiao Yinshun still wanted to go home and get into a warm bed.
"You know shit! The Black Blind Man is here. The local dogs in the countryside were so frightened by the Black Blind Man's breath that they trembled even before they started. They even started barking. The last time the Black Blind Man walked around our brigade, there was not a single one.
A local dog is barking. Are so many local dogs blind, deafened in their ears, and deaf in their noses?" Zhou Maolin said angrily.
Xiao Yinshun arranged the militia dejectedly. As the militia company commander, he naturally couldn't just arrange for others to patrol and go back to bed.
"Woof woof." Dahuang had a problem with Zhou Maolin's words. Who said that when the black blind man came, my legs would be weak?
When Zhou Maolin saw Dahuang, his eyes lit up: "If Dahuang is not bad, the black blind man will definitely be discovered by Dahuang when he comes."
"What use can Rhubarb be found for? Rhubarb lives in the Ancestral Temple! Can a black blind man go to the Ancestral Temple?" Zhang Xilai said.
"That's true." Zhou Maolin nodded.
Zhang Fangqing hit Zhang Xilai on the head again.
"I'm not wrong, why do you always hit me?" Zhang Xilai said dissatisfied.
"I beat my son, who can tell you the truth!" Zhang Fangqing said confidently, brat, you still don't accept it? I was beaten like this back then.
Chang Xing smiled and said: "I'll let Dahuang stay at Xianji Bridge for a while."
"Chang Xing, let Rhubarb live in my house. I am most familiar with it." Zhang Xilai said immediately.
Xiao Jinlin said with a smile: "You only get familiar with it when it lives in my house."
