Chapter 112. A good dog, let it die on the mountain
Li Baoyu took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Xu Changlin.
Xu Changlin took the money and looked past Li Baoyu to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun smiled slightly and nodded to the old man.
Xu Changlin said to Li Baoyu: "Men, if you are not in a hurry, just wait for a while. When I am free, I can lead your dog."
"Master Xu, we are not in a hurry." Li Baoyu responded and returned to Zhao Jun.
No matter how powerful the dog is, as long as you hold it on the leash, it will walk with you.
However, there is a prerequisite for this. The dog owner must personally hand over the dog chain to you. Otherwise, it would be strange if you just go up and hold the chain and not get bitten.
At this time, the young men in Xu Changlin's courtyard, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, would definitely not buy his three dogs.
Wang Dalong and Xu Changlin discussed just now that they would pay 260 yuan to pick this bunch of dogs, but Xu Changlin firmly disagreed.
You know, two hundred and sixty yuan is already a premium.
At this moment, the young man with a mustache who had never spoken spoke.
He said: "Master Xu, can you pick two hundred and eighty?"
"Man, do you want to buy a dog?" Xu Changlin seemed a little unbelievable when he heard the young man's bid.
This young man’s name is Zhang Laibao.
Why does he have this name?
Because he also has an unreliable father, and his father is even less reliable than Li Dayong. At most, Li Dayong likes to read short stories, while Zhang Laibao's father likes to play mahjong.
I cuddle and touch myself every day, but most of the time I have sex. So I gave my son this name.
The key point is that Zhang Laibao’s father, his grandfather, and even his family’s ancestors have never been around. What does this kid want a dog for?
So Xu Changlin was confused, wondering if this guy was making fun of the old man.
In fact, not only Xu Changlin was confused, but also Wang Dalong and Li Baoyu couldn't figure it out.
Leading a dog to fend for yourself is not something you can do on a whim.
Not only do you need to understand the mountain topography, but you also need to know the living habits of various prey species.
Then there is the cooperation with dogs, how to cooperate with knife hunting, how to cooperate with gun hunting, everyone who is hunting must know.
But as for Zhang Laibao, no one in his family has ever done this, and he doesn’t even know how to shoot.
Now you have to spend 280 yuan to buy a dog. Isn’t this a joke?
"No, Zhang Baozi, can you hunt?" Li Baoyu asked Zhang Laibao.
Zhang Baozi is Zhang Laibao’s nickname.
Zhang Laibao glanced at Li Baoyu and said, "You can hunt like this, what can't I do?"
"You..." Hearing this, Li Baoyu clenched his fists and glared at Zhang Laibao.
Zhang Laibao ignored him and just smiled at Zhao Jun: "Brother Jun, I heard that you are so awesome recently, so I want to learn to hunt. When I buy the dog back, you have to take care of me." p>
"Haha." Zhao Jun just smiled and said nothing. He just turned his face and looked to one side.
Others don't know what happened to Zhang Laibao, but Zhao Jun knows it clearly.
He and Zhang Laibao were bitter enemies in their previous life, otherwise Zhao Jun would not have secretly said, "Enemies live on narrow roads" when they first saw Zhang Laibao when they entered the hospital.
Moreover, the two families are feuding, and this feud doesn’t go very far. It started with Zhao Youcai and Zhang Laibao’s father, Zhang Zhanshan.
Zhao Youcai has a nickname called Zhao Ergudong, but as long as you don't offend him, he will not harm you.
But Zhang Zhanshan is different. This man is a sinister villain. He has been at odds with Zhao Youcai for many years. The two of them are at odds with each other.
Coincidentally, Zhang Zhanshan also works at the forest farm and is also a cook. Although he is not called a master chef, he is in charge of the second canteen of the forest farm.
So, the two are not only enemies, but also peers.
Over the years, Zhao Youcai and Zhang Zhanshan have been fighting openly and secretly, and even comparing themselves to each other in private.
Of course, you can’t show off your wealth these days.
So, the two started to compete in cooking skills.
There is nothing to say in this regard, Zhao Youcai is a complete winner.
Later, which one of them had a beautiful daughter-in-law, Zhang Zhanshan really won at first.
But one spring, Zhang Laibao and his mother, Xu Meihua, went up the mountain to collect Schisandra chinensis and were attacked by a big brown bear. Although they saved their lives, their appearance was disfigured.
So compared with his wife, Zhao Youcai won again.
Then there is the comparison of children. Both families have three daughters and one son, but Zhao Youcai’s eldest daughter is married to the son of the production director.
Zhang Zhanshan’s daughter married an ordinary Guileng worker.
In this way, from childhood to adulthood, Zhang Zhanshan never defeated Zhao Youcai.
And since Zhao Chun married Zhou Jianjun, Zhang Zhanshan felt unable to hold his head up when he met Zhao Youcai in the venue.
Recently, Zhao Jun has become famous for his hunting. He killed several black men in one winter, and it was all money.
Zhang Zhanshan thought to himself, after competing with Zhao Youcai for half his life, he lost for half his life. Even if he always clicks on the mahjong table, he has never lost so miserably.
So, Zhang Zhanshan had a sudden idea and had to let his son learn hunting.
In the previous life, Zhao Jun started hunting relatively late, after getting married.
Even then, once Zhao Jun became famous, Zhang Zhanshan still asked Zhang Laibao to buy dogs and guns and learn to hunt.
So, who did Zhang Laibao learn from?
The answer is amazing, I learned it from Zhao Jun!
Zhang Laibao got close to Zhao Jun, saying that although our fathers have enmity, it cannot affect the relationship between our brothers. We brothers must take good care of it and show it to them, the old ones.
Because Wang Meilan had passed away for several years at that time, Zhao Jun had always been worried about Zhao Youcai marrying his younger wife.
As soon as he heard what Zhang Laibao said, he hit it off immediately.
As for this rare treasure, when I first went up the mountain, I really listened to Zhao Jun. I took my own dog and hunted with Zhao Jun.
But in fact, his purpose is very simple. He just wants Zhao Jun to help him drag the dog. When his dog is ready, Zhang Laibao will immediately break up the gang with Zhao Jun.
From then on, Zhang Laibao used various methods to cause harm to Zhao Jun.
I even found someone to steal Zhao Jun’s dog.
In this life, Zhao Jun will never let him cheat him.
Wang Dalong on the side looked at Zhang Laibao suspiciously. For a moment just now, he even thought that this piece of Laibao was for Xu Changlin to lead a donkey.
But then I thought about it, even if Xu Changlin wanted to find someone to lead the donkey, he would not find such a young boy.
But no matter what, at this time Wang Dalong just didn't like Zhang Laibao.
Because he felt that Zhang Laibao ruined his good deeds. If Zhang Laibao hadn't interfered, and he had given Xu Changlin another five or ten yuan, he would have been able to pick off these dogs.
But now, Zhang Laibao is going to give out 280 yuan, which suddenly puts Wang Dalong in a dilemma.
The key is that at this time, Xu Changlin suddenly said to Wang Dalong: "Dalong, look at these dogs, do you still have a choice?"
As soon as Xu Changlin said this, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu frowned, while Zhang Laibao showed displeasure.
This old man is too fond of money. Are you selling a dog? It's almost time for the auction. Zhang Laibao has made a bid. If it works, it will work. If it doesn't work, it won't work.
What did you say to Wang Dalong?
Let him add money?
Wang Dalong has a somewhat strange personality. Just now he was annoyed that Zhang Laibao ruined his good deeds, and he felt resentful towards Zhang Laibao.
At this time, Xu Changlin started talking to Wang Dalong, and Wang Dalong suddenly became enthusiastic and said to Xu Changlin: "Master Xu, three hundred! Just as you said, I will pick these dogs!"
"Okay!" Xu Changlin agreed immediately.
When Zhang Laibao saw this, he turned around and left without even saying hello to Xu Changlin.
To be precise, he didn't say hello to anyone.
Xu Changlin ignored him and only said to Wang Dalong: "Man, you are the only one left this time. You can bring the money."
The old man was really rude and told Wang Dalong directly that I promised you the three hundred dollars you offered. That’s why Zhang Laibao left.
In this case, you can’t regret it now.
Wang Dalong reached into his pocket and took out a large amount of money. He handed it to Xu Changlin and said, "Master Xu, please check, this is two hundred and five."
Xu Changlin held the dog in one hand and the money in the other, looking at Wang Dalong without saying a word.
Wang Dalong said: "Master Xu, don't think too much. I didn't bring that much money today. Just let me have it for one night and I will bring it to you early tomorrow morning."
Xu Changlin was still speechless. He just looked at Wang Dalong, shook his head and said, "Man, this can't be done."
Hearing Xu Changlin's words, Li Baoyu felt disdainful and turned to look at Zhao Jun.
Logically speaking, they all live in the village with relatives. Wang Dalong has already said that he owes you fifty yuan and will deliver it to you tomorrow morning.
This makes sense.
But the old man didn't allow it, which is a bit unreasonable.
Ever since Xu Changlin instigated Wang Dalong to increase the money, Zhao Jun's brows had been furrowed, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xu Changlin's attitude made Wang Dalong feel very humiliated. The old man acted like this because he clearly did not think down of Wang Dalong.
Wang Dalong turned around, looked at Zhao Jun, and said: "Brother, do you have money? Give me fifty."
Zhao Jun stretched his hands into the pockets of his cotton-padded jacket and pulled the inside of the pocket out. Then he stretched his hands into his trouser pockets and pulled out the inside of the trouser pocket.
Zhao Jun acted like this to tell Wang Dalong that I really have no money. Otherwise, given the current situation, if he said it directly, Wang Dalong might not believe it and would even hold a grudge against Zhao Jun.
Wang Dalong turned his attention to Li Baoyu again. This time, Zhao Jun did not wait for him to speak, but said to Li Baoyu first: "Baoyu, give Brother Dalong fifty yuan, and I will let you borrow it."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Dalong suddenly felt his face was brightened, and he immediately smiled and said to Zhao Jun: "Xiaojun, you are not needed."
Then, he looked at Li Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, give me fifty yuan, and I will send it to you tomorrow morning."
Li Baoyu took out a roll of money from his pocket, took out five large unity cards, walked over and handed them to Wang Dalong.
"He is really my brother!" Wang Dalong took the money with one hand and patted Li Baoyu on the arm with the other hand to express his kindness.
Li Baoyu chuckled and returned to Zhao Jun. To be honest, if Zhao Jun hadn't spoken, Li Baoyu might not have lent money to Wang Dalong.
This is exactly what Zhao Jun is afraid of. If Wang Dalong and Li Baoyu speak and Li Baoyu refuses to agree, the scene will be ugly.
By that time, Zhao Jun couldn't even speak.
Wang Dalong handed the money to Xu Changlin, then reached out and grabbed the three hemp ropes in Xu Changlin's hand.
When Wang Dalong pulled him, Xu Changlin did not let go immediately. Wang Dalong called out "Master Xu" with a cold face, and Xu Changlin let go.
Wang Dalong was humiliated by Xu Changlin. After taking the dog, he did not say hello to Xu Changlin. He only said goodbye to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, and then walked away with the three dogs.
When the three dogs were led by Wang Dalong, they suddenly started whimpering, making chirping sounds, and wagging their tails desperately at Xu Changlin.
But Xu Changlin just turned around and said nothing.
The three dogs struggled so fiercely that Wang Dalong had to turn sideways, grab the rope with both hands, and forcefully drag the three dogs out of Xu Changlin's yard.
As soon as the three dogs came out of the yard, their tails drooped instantly, and tears really flowed from their eyes.
Dogs really can cry.
Seeing this scene, Li Baoyu felt uncomfortable, while Zhao Jun sighed softly.
When Wang Dalong led the dog away, Xu Changlin suddenly turned around and took two steps toward the courtyard door, but stopped again.
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu were standing beside Xu Changlin, and they could see tears streaming down the old man's cheeks.
Xu Changlin raised his arms and wiped his face with the sleeves of his cotton-padded jacket. He turned around and walked to the backyard. As he walked, he said in a hoarse voice: "Man, let me lead the dog."
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu both followed. At this time, Xu Changlin was hunched over, as if he had aged ten years.
Only then did Li Baoyu realize that the old man couldn't let go of his dog, so he asked: "Master Xu, if you can't let go of the dog, why don't you sell it."
Xu Changlin said without looking back: "I'm old and can't go up the mountain anymore."
Li Baoyu said again: "You see how reluctant you are to let them go. You can keep them even if you don't go to the mountain."
As soon as Li Baoyu said this, Xu Changlin stopped suddenly. Zhao Jun behind him almost couldn't react and bumped into him.
Xu Changlin turned around, looked at Li Baoyu, and said, "Boy, your family has been under siege since your grandfather, right?"
"That's right!" Li Baoyu nodded. Three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren fought in the siege. This was something he felt very proud of.
Xu Changlin's eyes were slightly red, but his eyes looking at Li Baoyu were cold and stern.
Just listen to the old man saying word by word: "Then you should know, good dog, let it die on the mountain!"
