Chapter 1,118. A night in the mountains, wealth in danger
"You guys are fooling around, be careful when you go up the mountain!"
"You have to be more careful in the aisles and so on!"
Outside Zhao's courtyard, the men all got on the bus, and the women took the trouble to get out of the car.
When the car started, Wang Meilan looked at the rear of the car disappearing into the darkness and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister! I'm going to take the child back first." After returning to the house, Zhao Ling took Wang Tian, Wang Xue and Wang Meilan to say goodbye. It was already past eight o'clock, and Wang Qiang might not be back when he left.
Zhao Ling can wait, but the child cannot wait.
"Go back." When Wang Meilan spoke, she reached out and pulled her eldest nephew. Wang Meilan bent down to buckle Wang Tian's cotton-padded jacket, and said: "It's evening, and I still have my arms open."
"Let's meet aunt again." At this time, Zhao Ling gently held little Wang Xue in her arms, taught the little girl how to speak, and said: "Tell aunt that we will come back tomorrow."
After Zhao Ling left, Xu Chunyan also left with her children, followed by the old lady, Xie Sunshi and Liu Lanying.
With them all gone, only Wang Meilan, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, and Xiao Lingdang are left in the Zhao family.
Normally I don't feel much, but today her husband and son are not at home, and Wang Meilan suddenly feels a little empty in her heart.
"Mom." When Wang Meilan was sitting on the edge of the Kang, Zhao Na hugged her from behind. The little girl timidly asked Wang Meilan, "Did my brother do it again?"
"Your brother is looking for your father." Wang Meilan gritted her teeth with hatred when she mentioned Zhao Youcai, and she couldn't help but feel a bit weird when talking to her little girl.
"Mom." At this time, Zhao Hong also came over. She grabbed Wang Meilan's arm with her small hands and asked, "Will my dad never come back?"
"What?" Wang Meilan was startled, then stared at Zhao Hong and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Why can't you come back?"
Although children's words are unbridled, these words sounded unlucky. Wang Meilan was already worried about Zhao Youcai, so she felt uncomfortable when she heard these words.
Zhao Hong felt that Wang Meilan's expression and tone were not right, but the little girl was also really worried about Zhao Youcai. When she turned back, she grabbed the sleeve of Wang Meilan's cotton-padded jacket with one hand, pointed at the little bell with the other, and said: "Lingdang, her father doesn't
Did you just go up the mountain and not come back?"
Little bell: "..."
"What are you talking about?" Wang Meilan stretched out her hand and pushed Zhao Hong's back lightly, shouting: "What are you talking about? Nothing is wrong with your brother Zhang, he is hospitalized!"
Speaking of this, Wang Meilan paused for a moment, and then added: "Your father doesn't mean anything."
After saying that, Wang Meilan got up from the edge of the kang, turned around and stepped on her heels to take off her cotton shoes. While getting on the kang, she said: "Hurry up and make the quilt, you three can go to sleep."
In the forest, fire branches crackle.
Zhao Youcai sat on the leg of a tree, holding a stick in his hand and eating roasted roe deer meat.
The Zhao family's dog gang hunted another roe deer. This 70-pound male roe deer fed the dog gang and left a lot of meat for Zhao Youcai.
It happened that Zhao Youcai was not full, and he did not mind the leftovers. After filling his stomach with roasted roe deer meat, Zhao Youcai smoked two Shilin cigarettes in a row, and then he cheered up.
He had been tired for a day and felt tired after eating, but Zhao Youcai did not want to find a place to stay in the mountains.
After finishing his cigarette, Zhao Youcai picked up the semi-automatic gun inserted beside him, then stood up and put the gun on his back. After blowing a whistle, Zhao Youcai flicked his hand to the south and said, "Let's go home!"
Zhao Youcai gave the order, and the hunting dogs followed him one after another. This was not because Zhao Youcai had great prestige, but simply because the hunting dogs also wanted to go home.
This means that the black tiger and black dragon cannot find a home if they are too far away from home, otherwise they would have run away long ago.
Zhao Youcai held a torch and led the dog gang down the ridge, then walked up the sloping hillock to Nanshan.
He was ready to walk through the mountains, but as he walked, Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong.
Zhao Youcai stopped and looked up around him. At this time, the hunting dogs surrounded Zhao Youcai and looked up at him one by one.
Zhao Youcai frowned and looked at the mountain opposite.
"That's Eryazi Mountain." Zhao Youcai looked at the mountain opposite and judged his geographical location.
He knew this mountain, but at this moment Zhao Youcai was confused. He also knew that his home was to the east of Eryazi Mountain, but at this moment he just wanted to go west!
Sometimes people are so strong and understand everything, but the choices they make are not correct.
This kind of state can only be experienced by experienced mountain runners. Just like Zhao Youcai now, even in the dark sky, he can distinguish the surrounding mountains through the moonlight and starlight. He also knows that his home is in Er
East of Yashan, but he has to go west.
Zhao Jun and his party left home at eight o'clock and drove for more than 40 minutes. When the car stopped at a place, Zhao Jun looked out in surprise, and then asked Wang Qiang: "Uncle, where are we?"
Everyone looked out of the car, and Chen Dalai was the first to say: "Brother, this seems to be 94."
"It's not good!" As soon as Chen Dalai finished speaking, Wang Qiang continued: "We just passed the Erya Mountain."
"Then why did we stop here?" When Zhao Jun was wondering, he heard the sound of the car door opening. Zhao Jun looked out of the car and saw a heavily armed Li Dayong standing under the car holding a flashlight.
"Come on, everyone, come down!" Li Dayong waved to the car and shouted.
"Uncle!" Zhao Jun said: "My dad lost the sandwich between 90 and 91..."
"What's missing?" Li Dayong interrupted Zhao Jun displeasedly, and corrected him: "Your father has chased the big pig god."
Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and thought: "Everyone is lost, and you are still protecting me."
"Uncle Li!" At this time, Lin Xiangshun asked Li Dayong on the carriage: "My second uncle...after chasing away the pig god, don't we have to get out of the big sandwich ditch that Xiaojun said?"
Lin Xiangshun gave Li Dayong a step, but Li Dayong turned around and pointed back, then raised his finger to Erya Mountain and said: "As soon as it gets dark, my eldest brother will definitely walk along the current. He should come out from here and go to the end."
Then go home."
Needless to say, Li Dayong really knew Zhao Youcai. If the Zhao Dog Gang didn't go to chase the roe deer for the second time, Zhao Youcai would really come out from here and hit the road, and then go westward home through Erya Mountain.
If this is the case, Zhao Jun and the others will encounter Zhao Youcai all the way here.
After hearing what Li Dayong said, Zhao Jun looked at Wang Qiang.
At this time, Li Dayong became anxious and shouted again: "Come down, everyone, you must follow my instructions!"
"Go down." Meeting Zhao Jun's questioning gaze, Wang Qiang nodded and said, "Listen to your uncle."
Everyone got out of the car one after another, and after entering the mountain, they encountered a long stream of water and headed upward. After walking a short time, Li Dayong, who was leading the way, exclaimed, and everyone hurried forward.
I saw only human footprints and dog footprints on the snow, changing their path to the west.
"Shunzi!" Li Dayong ordered: "How many dogs are there?"
Lin Xiangshun took the flashlight and searched around the snow, then stood up and said to Li Dayong: "Uncle Li, seven dogs."
"Oh my god!" Huang Gui tugged at Zhao Jun in surprise, then raised his finger to Lin Xiangshun and asked Zhao Jun: "How did he find out?"
"We don't know." Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "This is a unique skill."
Just as Zhao Jun was speaking, Li Dayong's voice drowned him out, and Li Dayong shouted: "The shoe print is No. 41, he is my eldest brother, let's go!"
After saying that, Li Dayong took the lead and walked in the front, even if Li Baoyu wanted to open the way.
An hour and a half later, everyone arrived at the place where Zhao Youcai lit a fire to roast roe deer meat for the second time. The flashlight swept across the mess, and Li Dayong finally showed a smile on his face. He said to Li Baoyu, "Your uncle is roasting meat here."
"Yes!" Li Baoyu looked at the remains of the roe deer hanging on the tree and said, "It's quite clean to eat."
Li Dayong ignored Li Baoyu and said to himself: "He has food in his belly, so I won't miss him anymore."
"Dad, shall we go back?" Li Baoyu asked.
"Are you such a tiger?" As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, he was punched by Li Dayong. Li Dayong shouted: "You are here to do what you are doing. Are you going back?"
Li Baoyu did not dare to say a word, but at this time Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, Jie Chen, Lin Xiangshun, Jiang Weifeng, Chen Dalei and the Zheng brothers followed.
Fourteen people, some walking fast and some walking slowly, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu opened the way, Zhao Jun and others were in the second echelon, and the last group were Zhou Jianjun, Huang Gui and the Chen brothers.
When Zhao Jun came here and saw that Zhao Youcai had eaten something, he also felt relieved a lot.
Everyone followed Zhao Youcai's footprints and dog footprints until they saw Erya Mountain.
"Hey, dad?" Li Baoyu stopped Li Dayong and asked, "My uncle has gone out from here, right?"
"No!" Li Dayong's eyes widened and he shook his head and said, "Your uncle wants to go out from here, so we can meet him before we come!"
At this point, Li Dayong turned around, but Zhao Jun and others could not be seen in the darkness.
Li Dayong turned around and said: "Your uncle is just wandering around!"
"Brother Yong, what's going on?" At this time, Wang Qiang's voice came from behind, and he, Zhao Jun and others chased after him.
"My eldest brother seems to have wandered off." Li Dayong looked around and said to Wang Qiang, "It's not good, he went to the west."
"Are you just trying to get into the mountains?" After Li Dayong finished speaking, Wang Qiang said in a strange manner: "Then he must be chasing the big pig god."
Wang Qiang's yin and yang anger was not directed at Zhao Youcai, but at Li Dayong. Because Zhao Jun said before that Zhao Youcai was lost, but Li Dayong refused to admit it and forced Zhao Youcai to powder his face, saying that he had gone to chase the big pig god.
"Get over there!" Of course Li Dayong could hear the sarcasm in Wang Qiang's tone. He raised his finger and pointed at Wang Qiang, who was laughing so hard, and said: "Young boy Wang, what the hell are you doing all day long just talking about my eldest brother?
"
"Hahaha..." When he said this, Wang Qiang became even happier. But he didn't dare to say anything else. He thought that when Zhang Zhanshan was alive, when he talked about Li Dayong with Xu Meihua at home, they all called him Li Dayong.
He is good at wielding an axe. When he was young, he was fond of using his fists and kicks, and hitting people would be quite painful.
Everyone rested here while waiting for Zhou Jianjun, Huang Gui and the others to follow.
By this time, it was already past twelve o'clock.
At this time, Zhao Youcai was still on his way.
Otherwise, Zhao Bantou's physical fitness is really good. He walked neither fast nor slow, just like walking on the mountain. He didn't rush or walk fast but never stopped.
After passing through a fork and entering the opposite cutting area, Zhao Youcai suddenly came to his senses when he looked at the small boundary marker in front of him.
"Ouch, fuck me!" Zhao Youcai's eyes widened and he said, "I went astray!"
As he spoke, Zhao Youcai suddenly turned around, looked at the mountain he had just climbed behind him, slapped his hands hard, and said angrily: "Isn't this the opposite?"
At this time, Zhao Youcai completely woke up.
Zhao Youcai immediately made a decision and continued to move forward. However, after passing through the trumpet, there was a fork in the road. Zhao Youcai turned around along the fork and changed his route to the northwest.
After walking for more than two miles, Zhao Youcai followed the hill's legs and changed his route again to the east and continued over the mountains.
At this time, Zhao Jun and his party had divided into two groups. They dismissed their ministers and Zhou Jianjun went down the mountain. They drove west along the firewood road.
Zhou Jianjun was familiar with the mountain field, but he couldn't drive. So Li Dayong asked a group of them to drive the car under the 82 Linban, and then when he got there, he used gunshots on the mountain to guide them in the direction.
One gunshot continued forward, two gunshots were heard and it diverted to the north.
In this way, everyone chased to the place where Zhao Youcai came to his senses. Seeing Zhao Youcai change his path, Li Dayong once again judged Zhao Youcai's direction of travel.
Under his leadership, everyone went down the mountain and drove straight to Erya Mountain. Li Dayong concluded that Zhao Youcai made this big circle and finally passed down Erya Mountain. Now they took the car to the foot of Erya Mountain. When they arrived, Zhao Youcai was probably about the same
Already.
This inference is based on the experience of fighting sieges and touching Zhao Youcai's footprints, and judging that Zhao Youcai has been in the past for more than two hours, nearly three hours.
At this time, Zhao Youcai was standing on a green poplar tree. He stood among the branches, leaning on the trunk of the tree and listening.
It was now two forty in the morning, and Zhao Youcai had been wandering around in the mountains for half the night.
"Ugh, vomit, vomit..."
The faint sound of rooster crow reached Zhao Youcai's ears.
"That's the backing village." Zhao Youcai judged the direction based on the crow of the chicken, then got down from the tree and muttered: "I'm going this way."
Then, Zhao Youcai whistled, waved his big hand forward, and said, "Let's go home!"
The seven hunting dogs got up weakly. After a day and a half of tossing, the dogs were all tired. The dogs didn't know that Zhao Youcai had gone the wrong way, and they couldn't understand why the road home was so long.
Zhao Youcai stepped on the hillock and walked down the mountain. The hunting dogs followed him left and right. As long as he went down from the hillock, it was the firewood transport road. If he walked along the road, he would reach the bottom of Erya Mountain.
Then go east and walk another twenty miles to Yong'an Tun.
By now, Zhao Youcai was sleepy and tired. He felt his calves jumping, but he had no choice but to keep walking home.
But on the way down the mountain, Zhao Youcai stumbled on something while taking a step, and his whole body lurched forward and rolled down the hillside.
It was rolling on the snow at a slow speed. When Zhao Youcai's back hit a tree, he stopped.
But as he hit the tree with his back, Zhao Youcai thrust his upper body back, and the back of his head hit the leg of the tree.
Zhao Youcai kept his eyes open, and then he closed his eyes and passed out.
At this time, seven dogs came down the slope to Zhao Youcai.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
The hunting dogs sensed that something was wrong with Zhao Youcai and barked wildly in unison, trying to wake him up.
Erhei was even more anxious to lick Zhao Youcai's face with his tongue. At this time, Zhao Youcai heard dogs barking around him in a daze. He wanted to open his eyes but his eyelids felt very, very heavy.
