Zhao Youcai refused to fight, which surprised Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan.
Is this still the same Zhao Youcai who brought in three sheep to hunt leopards? Is this still the same Zhao Youcai who didn't even care about his little girl's lunch just to hunt?
Although he didn't know what happened to Zhao Youcai, it was business to go to work. If he said this, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan could not say anything else.
After eight o'clock, Lin Xiangshun and his wife took their children home, Xie Chen accompanied the old lady, and Xie Sun left.
Immediately afterwards, the four members of the Li family also wanted to go home, and Zhao Jun got up to see off Yang Yufeng and Xiao Lingdang.
Although it was dark outside, the village was very safe. Zhao Jun's main purpose of sending the couple away was to bring the donkey back.
Although there is room in Zhang Yuanmin's house, Yang Yufeng shoulders the heavy burden of feeding geese for several families every day. She also has to take care of the little bell, so Wang Meilan said not to cause trouble to her. Even though the donkey has to be polished every day recently, Wang Meilan also asked it
Go home and live every day.
On the way to Zhang's house, Xiao Lingdang once again talked about Zhang Yuanmin. After hearing this, Zhao Jun also missed the old boy a little.
After being sent to the couple's home, Zhao Jun went to pick up the donkey next door. The moment he saw Zhao Jun, the donkey was a little excited.
The donkey has not forgotten that it was Zhao Jun who took it out of Lingnan. It is a bit like a dog. It recognizes anyone who brings it to a strange environment.
After barking "Uh-huh" twice, the donkey was led back by Zhao Jun. When passing by a house, someone shouted: "Brother Jun! Brother Jun!"
"Ah, Gu Yang." Zhao Jun followed the sound and saw a person walking out of the darkness, it was Gu Yang who came out of the hut.
"Why hasn't your face healed yet?" Zhao Jun flashed the flashlight and saw that Gu Yang's face still had traces of being beaten, so he couldn't help but ask.
Gu Yang laughed dryly and followed Zhao Jun. Without answering, he asked, "Brother Jun, have you been grinding rice at home these past two days?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun responded casually, and then said casually: "Do you have any dry food at home?"
"No." Gu Yang said, "My mother hasn't washed the rice yet."
When the two of them were talking, they had already passed the door of Gu's house. Zhao Jun looked at Gu Yang in surprise and asked, "Aren't you going home?"
Gu Yang chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with me going back. I'm thinking of walking with you, taking a walk, taking a walk."
"Huh?" When Zhao Jun heard this, he immediately stopped and turned around to ask Gu Yang, "What, are you okay?"
"It's nothing, Brother Jun." It could be seen that Gu Yang was a little embarrassed, Zhao Jun said: "If you want something to happen, just say it. What's that? We had a quarrel last time, and you still hold grudges against me?"
"
"No, no." Gu Yang smiled bitterly and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Brother Jun, how can I bear grudge against you?"
"Then just say it." Zhao Jun said: "You keep shouting, "Jun Ge, if there is anything I can do to help you, just say it."
After saying this, Zhao Jun asked tentatively: "What's the matter? Do you need money to build a house and marry a wife?"
"No, no." Gu Yang said quickly: "It's not about money."
"Look, then just say it." Zhao Jun was impatient and couldn't stand the squeaking, so he immediately said: "Hurry up and say it, damn Leng Hantian. After you have finished speaking, go home quickly."
"What..." Gu Yang finally said, "I'm going to give them an old chainsaw and I'm thinking of using it in the forest farm to clean up and cut branches."
"Ah..." After hearing what Gu Yang said, Zhao Jun did not interrupt, waiting for him to continue.
"It's over. The chain saw costs eighty, so I'll give him fifty." Gu Yang said, "He didn't give me the blade and chain."
"Ah!" Zhao Jun understood after hearing this, and immediately smiled and said: "You mean, let me give you a whole set of knives and something like that?"
"Hmm..." Gu Yang looked at Zhao Jun with some embarrassment, but Zhao Jun waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's no problem."
"Thank you, Brother Jun!" Gu Yang was overjoyed and quickly thanked Zhao Jun. But Zhao Jun said: "The things I brought back last time were all given to Brother Zhang. It's already tonight and he hasn't left home yet. Tomorrow, tomorrow
I'll take you there and leave him at his place to get you a set first. When he wants to use it, I'll fix it for him."
"Brother Jun, I'm sorry to trouble you." Gu Yang thanked Zhao Jun again. At this moment, Zhao Jun suddenly thought of something and asked Gu Yang, "Hey? You have the chain saw, are you still alive?"
"
"No, Brother Jun." Gu Yang said: "I asked my eldest brother, isn't our forest farm engaged in logging now? They clean up the forest, cut branches, etc., so we have to wait until next year, right?"
"Then are you going to follow the tree?" Zhao Jun asked.
"Putting a tree... I would like to go." Gu Yang said, "I have no choice. I told my elder brother, and he told me to wait and leave home to weave earthen baskets for sale first."
"Alas!" After hearing Gu Yang's words, Zhao Jun couldn't help but sigh. Gu Yang's eldest brother was also a top performer. The forest farm soil collection basket cost 50 cents each. Gu Yang finished weaving the soil basket and handed it to him, and then he gave Gu Yang 30 cents.
, earning Gu Yang two cents from it.
"What..." Zhao Jun thought he had come up with a good way to kill two birds with one stone, and immediately asked Gu Yang, "I will send you to Lengchang to be a chain saw operator, will you do it?"
"Do it!" Gu Yang said happily: "That's great, Brother Jun."
After saying this, Gu Yang suddenly felt a little discouraged and asked Zhao Jun: "Brother Jun, it's now like this, can you still find a living?"
"That's great." Zhao Jun said: "Didn't they have a big paw there a while ago? Work has been suspended for several days, and now I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete the production tasks, and there's no place to look for people."
What Zhao Jun told was the truth, and Gu Yang was very happy to hear it, and immediately nodded heavily and said: "Brother Jun, I'll go then!"
"Okay!" Zhao Jun said, "Then tomorrow morning..."
As he said that, Zhao Jun remembered that he was going to 77 and 78 to hunt leopards tomorrow, and it was not easy to take Gu Yang with him.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun remembered another person, so he waved his hand to Gu Yang and said, "Let's go, you follow me."
"What's wrong, Brother Jun?" Gu Yang asked.
"I'll find you a supporting frame." Zhao Jun said, leading Gu Yang outside the courtyard of a house while leading the donkey.
This family has a chipmunk in the yard, and it barks "woof, woof" when someone comes.
Zhao Jun tied the donkey to the wicker tent of the house and led Gu Yang inside. The flower dog was tied with an iron chain. Although he was very excited when he saw a stranger entering the hospital, he could not escape Zhao Jun. Gu Yang
On the body.
There was no way, in the dark, Zhao Jun had to go into the courtyard, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see who was coming when he opened the door.
When Zhao Jun walked to the middle of the courtyard, the door was pushed open from the inside, and then he heard a woman's voice: "Who is it?"
"Aunt Liu." Zhao Jun said, "I'm Zhao Jun, does my uncle Liu have a home?"
"Oh, Zhao Jun!" When the woman heard that it was Zhao Jun, her voice immediately changed. After shouting to alert the people in the room, the woman ran out to greet him regardless of the cold weather outside.
"Your Uncle Liu is in the house, come in quickly!" The woman greeted Zhao Jun enthusiastically, but when she saw Gu Yang, her expression froze.
"Is Gu Yang here too?" The woman greeted Zhao Jun without being so enthusiastic, but Gu Yang didn't seem to notice and called "Aunt Liu" with a smile.
When Zhao Jun was let into the house by the woman, Liu Hanshan and his son pulled up their shoes and went down to greet her.
After letting Zhao Jun and Gu Yang into the back room, Liu Hanshan's wife went to pour water for them. Liu Hanshan took out a cigarette and gave it to Zhao Jun. After Zhao Jun declined, he directly stated his intention and asked Liu Hanshan if he was willing to go to Jie Zhong's Lengchang to pull condoms.
, if you like, just be in the same group as Gu Yang.
When Liu Hanshan heard about this good thing, he immediately agreed, and the couple thanked Zhao Jun together.
Two more people were arranged in the lengchang. Zhao Jun felt that he had another layer of insurance for Zhang Yuanmin. However, in front of Liu Hanshan's wife, Zhao Jun did not mention that Liu Hanshan would look at Zhang Yuanmin, but stood up and left.
.
Liu Hanshan personally escorted Zhao Jun out. As they walked out of the hospital, the two of them spoke at the same time.
"Uncle Liu."
"Zhao Jun!"
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled, and then asked: "What's wrong, Uncle Liu?"
Liu Hanshan pursed his lips and said, "I told Ruhai's mother what I said the day before yesterday, and Ruhai even knew about it."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned for a second, then shook his head hurriedly and said: "Uncle Liu, none of us said it was you who said it."
After saying this, Zhao Jun added: "You have good intentions, can we still sell it to you?"
Liu Hanshan smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "This morning I went to the small shop to get a drink and watched Ruhai and your father working. The kid looked at me and didn't say hello to me. After that, he glared at me."
"Uncle Liu!" Zhao Jun quickly confirmed, "No one of us told him that it was you who said it."
Zhao Jun dared to make this guarantee because there were few people who were as loose-mouthed as Li Ruhai. Everyone said what they should say and didn't say what they shouldn't.
"Then I understand." Liu Hanshan smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what happens in this village, I can't hide it from him."
After saying that, Liu Hanshan looked at Zhao Jun and said, "This kid must not remember to hate me in the future?"
"No, Uncle Liu." Zhao Jun said: "If he dares to do this or that to you two, you tell me. When it's over, I'll tell my Uncle Li and let me slap him with his big mouth."
"Yes!" Gu Yang, who had been cheated by Li Ruhai more than once, said quietly from the side: "Tell his dad to beat him."
Compared to Gu Yang's naivety, Liu Hanshan seemed a little worried, but at this moment Zhao Jun said to him: "Uncle Liu, I have a favor to ask you."
"Huh?" Liu Hanshan suddenly became energetic. Not to mention that Zhao Jun helped him find a job to make money today. Even if Zhao Jun didn't help him, Liu Hanshan was willing to help Zhao Jun.
"Why are you being so polite to your uncle?" Liu Hanshan said, "Now that you've finished speaking, what are you doing with your uncle?"
"Um...Uncle Liu, Gu Yang!" Zhao Jun also involved Gu Yang, and then said: "When you get to Lengchang, help me keep an eye on Zhang Yuanmin."
"Zhang Yuanmin?" When Zhao Jun asked him to look at Zhang Yuanmin, Liu Hanshan asked in surprise: "Is he dishonest?"
"No!" Seeing that Liu Hanshan had misunderstood, Zhao Jun hurriedly explained: "I am good at everything, but I am good at poking fun at the blind man."
As soon as Zhao Jun said this, and when he heard the three words "black blind man" at the end, Gu Yang's heart suddenly jumped for no reason, and he subconsciously took a step back.
At this time, Zhao Jun continued: "We have told him several times, but we still feel that we are not sure. Uncle Liu, please go and keep an eye on him for me."
"Hey!" After understanding the whole story, Liu Hanshan smiled and said: "That's right, Zhao Jun, then I understand."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, I'm going back first." Zhao Jun said, already walking outside the tent, saying goodbye to Liu Hanshan, and untied the donkey tied to the tent.
After leaving the Liu family, Zhao Jun walked with Gu Yang for a while. During this process, Zhao Jun also asked Gu Yang to watch Zhang Yuanmin.
…
The next day, December 4, 1987.
Zhao Jun got up early and went out to feed the dogs with dog food. If Zhao Youcai didn't go with him today, Zhao Jun was going to lead the dogs to surround the leopard.
The Amur leopard's combat effectiveness is still higher than that of the lynx, but the Amur leopard is good at running long distances and cannot counterattack like a lynx climbing a tree.
However, once it is surrounded by dogs during its long-distance run, it may not cause any trouble.
Zhao Jun decided to take Hualong and Huanglong with him today, plus the six dogs that surrounded the lynx the day before yesterday. Zhao Jun fed them all half full.
At half past six, Liu Hanshan drove the sledge and brought Gu Yang over.
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan took out the sticky bean buns with three pockets and asked them to take them up the mountain. One bag was given to Xing San, one bag was given to Zhang Yuanmin, and the last bag was given to Xie Zhong.
Then, Zhao Jun followed the sledge to Zhang's house.
After expressing his thoughts to Yang Yufeng and Xiao Lingdang, Zhao Jun got the unanimous support of the two women. When Yang Yufeng came out from home and went to the warehouse to help Gu Yang remove the chainsaw blade and chain, Xiao Lingdang followed Zhao Jun.
, whispered: "Uncle, I dreamed about my dad falling into the ditch again yesterday."
"What a day it is!" Zhao Jun rubbed Xiao Lingdang's little head and said, "Don't worry about him, this time I will entrust the two of you."
"Yeah!" The little bell nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
After sending Liu Hanshan and Gu Yang away, Zhao Jun went to the Jie family's new house to see the little bear.
To this day, the old bitch no longer protects her cubs. Seeing Zhao Jun coming, the little bear was very excited and threw herself into Zhao Jun's arms and kept whimpering.
It is a hunting dog, and a good hunting dog. A good hunting dog goes up the mountain.
But the little bear had just given birth, and most of his body's nutrients had recently been given to the puppy along with his mother's milk. Zhao Jun was afraid that the little bear would not recover well, so he did not dare to take it to hunt for leopards.
After appeasing the little bear, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen went home together. They were not in a hurry and had to wait until daybreak before setting off.
At eight o'clock, Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen got into the car with Qinglong, Black Dragon, White Dragon, Huanglong, Hualong, Erhei, Xiaohua, Qinghu, and eight dogs.
Then Jiechen drove, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu squeezed into the co-pilot, and the three of them, Bagou, drove out of the village and entered the mountain field, and went straight to the 77 Lingchang behind Erguokui.
At nearly nine o'clock, a horse sledge drove into the small 43 Lingchang.
Yesterday Xing San went up the mountain to re-set the trap, and he won't go out until tomorrow, so he rested in Lengchang today.
Seeing the stranger driving the sledge in, Xing San hurriedly stopped Liu Hanshan.
When Liu Hanshan and Gu Yang saw that he was an old man, they did not dare to neglect him. Because before they came, Zhao Jun told them that when they arrived at Lengchang, even if they fought with the leader Jie Zhong, they could not conflict with the old man.
After asking that this person was Xing San, Gu Yang hurriedly pulled a dough bag off the sledge and said it was the sticky bean bag Zhao Jun brought to Xing San. He then took the initiative to keep it and helped Xing San hang the dough bag behind the shack.
.
Gu Yang was flattering here, while Liu Hanshan drove the sledge straight to the head shack.
At this time, Zhang Yuanmin was frowning in the shack. When he saw Liu Hanshan coming in, Zhang Yuanmin was stunned.
They were all from the same village, how could he not know Liu Hanshan?
When Liu Hanshan told Xie Zhong that he and a man named Gu Yang were sent to Lengchang by Zhao Jun to help, before Xie Zhong could say anything, Zhang Yuanmin jumped up from the kang and said with a smile: "Gu Yang came to vote, Po Xiong
