There was blood in the shack, on and under the earthen bed.
Deng Zhaoshan, who had a pleasant chat with Zhao Jun a few days ago, was now lying on the ground, his chest torn open and empty inside, with all his organs disappearing without a trace.
Deng Zhaoshan's pillow was thrown on the ground, and his quilt was piled randomly on the head of the kang. The quilt was torn in a mess, with blood splattered on it.
It's not that Zhao Jun has never seen dead people before, but the scene in front of him was so scary. No wonder Li Baoyu was so frightened at first glance that he couldn't stand still.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhao Jun saw a bloody footprint on the ground. He squatted down and looked carefully, looking at the human-like footprints.
Zhao Jun looked at Deng Zhaoshan again. He lived in the shack until midnight, and it was very cold when the stove went out.
So when the old man went to bed, he didn't even take off his socks.
Deng Zhaoshan's body was lying there, his blood flowing on the ground, leaving a trail of dark black marks.
There was no blood on Deng Zhaoshan's socks with the patches on the heels. There was a trail of blood next to his right foot, which should have flowed from his chest.
Then, the footprints I saw near the stove just now were left by the murderer.
Zhao Jun looked at the footprints again. At first glance, they looked like human footprints.
At this time, Zhao Jun already had doubts in his heart, and he turned to look at Li Baoyu.
"Brother." Li Baoyu stood up and asked Zhao Jun with a pale face: "How to fix this?"
"Get out!" Zhao Jun raised his hand and gestured outward, then strode out of the shack.
But when they arrived at the door of the shack, Zhao Jun stopped, raised his gun in the air, and fired all the bullets in the gun in one go.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jun took out a loaded magazine from his pocket and loaded the bullet with two clicks.
Zhao Jun took out the magazine and stuffed it into his pocket before stepping out of the shack.
He hadn't noticed it before, but now he saw blood stains on the east side of the shack door. In other words, even if he had seen it before, Zhao Jun wouldn't have cared.
Because Deng Zhaoshan is a mountain dog, he is a man who kills to make money. There is blood next to the shack, which is very normal.
Zhao Jun followed the east side and circled to the east of the shack. The back of the shack was backed by a mountain, and there was a path through the woods to the east.
When it snowed around the shack, Deng Zhaoshan would clean it up. The remaining layer of snow on the ground was trampled down, so it was difficult to see clearly near the shack.
But when Zhao Jun entered the forest, he saw footprints on the snow. The footprints on the snow were much clearer than the bloody footprints in the house.
Not only Zhao Jun could tell, Li Baoyu took a look and shouted: "Oh my god, brother, isn't this a blind man?"
Bear footprints are very similar to human footprints, except that they don't have the heel part.
Zhao Jun held the gun in his hand, took two steps back, and then said to Li Baoyu: "Baoyu, you ride a motorcycle to the field, go to the security team and tell Team Leader Liu about this matter, and let him decide what to do?"
"Brother, what about you?" Li Baoyu raised his hand and pointed toward the woods and said, "You can't knock that blind bear by yourself!"
Li Baoyu said this not because he was afraid of not being able to keep up with the excitement, but because he was afraid that Zhao Jun would be in danger if he chased the bear.
"No, Baoyu." Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "I'm watching from here."
As he spoke, Zhao Jun raised his chin toward the shack and said, "There must be a lot of yellow leaves in this old man's shack. I'm here to watch them. Don't let others take them away."
The house was the scene of the incident, but this could not scare away the mountaineers. Zhao Jun could only promise that he would not covet Deng Zhaoshan's things, but he could not guarantee that others could do the same.
Deng Zhaoshan is gone, and his things should be taken back to his family. Zhao Jun doesn't know where Deng Zhaoshan's family is, but he believes that the security team Liu Jinyong and others can find it.
"Brother, then you..." Li Baoyu looked back at the shack with the door open, and then asked Zhao Jun: "You can't stay in the house, and you can't be cold outside?"
"I'll make a fire and keep it warm. It'll be fine." Zhao Jun said, "Baoyu, go back quickly."
"Well, brother." Li Baoyu said, took off his shoulder bag and handed it to Zhao Jun, saying: "Here is dry food."
"Hey." Zhao Jun took the bag and couldn't help but muttered to himself: "This old man hit Xiaowei's hand, how could he offend Blind Bear?"
"Ah?" Li Baoyu was startled when he heard this and asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, what do you mean by offending Blind Bear?"
"If he doesn't offend the blind bear, how can the blind bear come to deal with him?" Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu, and then said: "The blind bear in front of me either squats in a barn or walks around. He also rushes to the big hill to find a barn.
Zi Maodong, you can’t say that you’re just running here, getting into shacks and kicking people!”
After saying that, Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed towards the shack and said: "This is an empty meal."
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Li Baoyu asked: "Could it be a Japanese devil?"
"It's not like that." Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "I look like a blind bear taking revenge on someone."
"Brother!" Li Baoyu felt a chill on his back and said to Zhao Jun: "I heard my dad say that it was the elders who told him that there was a blind bear taking revenge on someone. I think it was Hu Zoubalie."
"That's not true." Zhao Jun said without thinking: "The blind bear has the strongest desire for revenge."
It is said that foxes are small-tempered and love to take revenge, but their revengefulness is incomparable to that of bears.
After the animal research team successfully captured and tagged the lion, when the lion was released, the cage door opened and the lion roared and lifted the pole.
But the bear ran forward as soon as he got out of the cage, and went straight to the front cab of the car to attack people.
Let’s look at the reaction of the animals when the gun is fired. The tiger and the pig god all ran away desperately after hearing the sound of the gun.
Only bears, most of them are carrying guns.
"Brother, you can't do it yourself!" When Li Baoyu heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He took Zhao Jun's arm and said, "If this is the case, I won't leave you alone."
"It's okay, Baoyu." Zhao Jun said, "I just hugged Shiqiang. It had to move away when it heard the noise nearby."
"That's true...then..." Li Baoyu was still a little worried and seemed to want to say something else.
"Okay, Baoyu." Zhao Jun stopped Li Baoyu and said, "Hurry back to the forest farm. When you're done, follow the car back to me."
"Okay, brother. I'm leaving then. You can pay attention to yourself." Li Baoyu started the motorcycle and quickly disappeared in front of Zhao Jun.
After Li Baoyu left, Zhao Jun was not idle either. When he arrived at the shack, he carried the firewood piled behind by Deng Zhaoshan to the front.
Deng Zhaoshan lived in the mountains, and he prepared plenty of firewood for the winter, including large pieces of wood, pegs, and twigs.
Li Baoyu wouldn't come back for a while, so Zhao Jun bundled up the twigs and threw them in the open space in front of the shack.
Then, Zhao Jun hugged the thick bundle again.
But when lighting the fire, Zhao Jun encountered some problems. Thick branches could not be lit with matches, and branches that were too thin failed to light and burned.
Deng Zhaoshan must have something to light the fire, but whether it was pine seeds or birch bark, they were not things that took up space. They must have been placed in the shack.
The shack looked like that, and Zhao Jun didn't want to go in. So, he grabbed his semi-automatic gun and walked towards the woods to the east.
When Zhao Jun was following the blood trail into the forest just now, he saw a birch tree that was almost bald, and thought that Deng Zhaoshan got all the fire starters from it.
Birch bark is like paper, it sizzles when torn.
As soon as Zhao Jun tore off a handful of birch bark, he heard the rustling of branches in the forest above.
Zhao Jun threw away the birch bark he had picked up. He held the gun with both hands and pointed the muzzle at his toes.
Zhao Jun raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Wow... brush..."
There was no wind in the mountains this morning, and the branches and tree branches around Zhao Jun were not moved.
But above him, thirty or forty meters away from him, the branches and tree branches were shaking violently.
Without hesitation, Zhao Jun tore off a handful of bark from the birch tree next to him, then turned around and ran back.
Zhao Jun quickly returned to the shack and lit a fire with birch bark. The dry branches crackled as they burned, and Zhao Jun raised his head and looked toward the forest to the east.
There was silence in the forest at this time.
…
Yongan Forestry Farm, Logistics Team.
Someone knocked on the door of Zhou Jianjun's office.
"Brother Zhou." This man walked up to Zhou Jianjun with an envelope, which shocked Zhou Jianjun.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhou Jianjun thought this guy was going to give him a gift blatantly.
"No, Brother Zhou, this is from Lingnan."
"Lingnan?" Zhou Jianjun frowned slightly and raised his hand to take the envelope.
The sender's address above is Hansongbaozi, Wudaogou, Lingnan, and the recipient's address is Yong'an Forestry Farm Union.
After Su Jinbao retired, the trade union was also under the control of Zhou Jianjun. At this time, he opened the envelope and took only one look, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oops!" Zhou Jianjun stood up, took the letter and walked out.
Zhou Jianjun walked out of the logistics team, went straight to the office building, and came to Zhou Chunming's office.
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Chunming asked. Zhou Jianjun took out the letter paper from his pocket with a smile, handed it to Zhou Chunming, and said with a smile: "Dad, look at this."
"What is this?" Zhou Chunming put down his pen and held the letter in his hand.
"Letter of thanks." Zhou Jianjun said with a smile, which made Zhou Chunming startled and asked: "Is it for Zhao Jun?"
At this time, the first thing Zhou Chunming remembered was that Fan Zhisheng called and invited Zhao Jun to hunt tigers.
"Not this time." Zhou Jianjun smiled and said, "This is for my father-in-law."
"Ah?" Zhou Chunming was stunned when he heard this. He felt that this was a new thing, so he opened the letter paper curiously.
After Zhou Chunming glanced at it quickly, he placed the letter on the table.
"Dad." Zhou Jianjun asked Zhou Chunming, "Should we let the loudspeaker broadcast? Broadcast?"
A thank-you letter is just like sending a banner to a doctor, it always gives you face.
As Zhao Youcai's good son-in-law, Zhou Jianjun wanted to earn face for Zhao Youcai.
"Ah..." Faced with Zhou Jianjun's question, Zhou Chunming did not answer, but nodded and said: "That's what I said!"
At this time, Zhou Chunming remembered yesterday morning in Chu Anmin's office of the Forestry Bureau. At that time, Chu Anmin asked Zhao Jun whether the three big claws in Lingnan had been solved.
What Zhao Jun said at that time was that his father had solved the tiger problem there.
Because Zhao Jun's performance yesterday afternoon was so amazing that Zhou Chunming forgot what happened in the morning.
Looking at the thank you letter at this time, Zhou Chunming got all these things right.
"Dad?" Zhou Jianjun called Zhou Chunming softly, but Zhou Chunming slowly shook his head and said, "What are you promoting? Give this letter to your father-in-law and let him be happy."
"Why is this?" Zhou Jianjun opened the letter, pointed to the content on it, and said to his father: "Dad, look at how well they wrote, about killing the tiger king, eliminating harm for the people, etc..."
Halfway through Zhou Jianjun's words, he saw Zhou Chunming looking at him strangely.
"Ah? What happened, dad?" Zhou Jianjun asked in confusion. He really wanted to make his father-in-law famous.
Zhou Chunming tilted his head and looked at Zhou Jianjun, and asked: "Your father-in-law... why did you go to eliminate harm for the people?"
"He..." Zhou Jianjun clicked his eyes and asked tentatively: "I remember the day we recorded the TV show, he and Chu Bureau and the others stopped by the Yongxing Brigade."
"Yeah." Zhou Chunming nodded slightly and asked again: "Is it over?"
"It's over...what's over?" Zhou Jianjun still didn't understand, so he heard Zhou Chunming say: "The day we recorded the TV was Sunday, the next day was Monday, he didn't go to work, he went outside to play."
"This..." Zhou Jianjun was startled, then heard Zhou Chunming continue: "When will he come back after this?"
"He..." Zhou Jianjun couldn't answer, so Zhou Chunming said: "Whenever I came back, he didn't come to work."
"Here today." Zhou Jianjun said weakly. He knew that his father-in-law was at work today because they came from Yong'an Tun together.
Zhou Chunming twitched the corner of his mouth and asked again: "Then how do you tell him how the loudspeaker promoted him? That Master Zhao didn't work on the stove for a week and went to Lingnan to eliminate harm for the people?"
Zhou Jianjun: "..."
Zhou Chunming didn't have any objections to his in-laws. He knew about it when Zhao Youcai went to Yongxing, and he didn't say anything.
The point is, if no one mentions it, it’s just that. If you still want to publicize it, it will easily have a bad impact.
At this time, Zhou Chunming couldn't help but think of the last question that newspaper editor-in-chief Li Liangwei asked Chu Anmin before leaving yesterday afternoon.
"Oh!" Zhou Chunming sighed heavily, tapped the letter of praise twice with his fingers, and then said to Zhou Jianjun: "Your father-in-law, your brother-in-law, and both of you don't go to work. After that, you go out and do good things for others.
"
Zhou Jianjun: "..."
At this moment, Zhou Jianjun felt that his father's language style today was very similar to that of his mother-in-law.
The publicity was no longer enough. Zhou Jianjun came out of his father's office with a thank-you letter and went to the cafeteria and kitchen.
At the same time, Zhao Jun stood with his back against the fire, holding guns in both hands and looking at the east hillside.
On the mountain over there, there are noises coming from time to time.
The sound continued and gradually pressed downward.
When Zhao Jun entered the forest before, the sound originated from thirty or forty meters away.
At this time, Zhao Jun retreated to the shack, and the place where the sound originated was pressed down more than ten meters, as if it was chasing Zhao Jun.
In winter, the branches are leafless, but Zhao Jun cannot see what is hidden in the forest from a distance of forty to fifty meters.
The thing kept moving in the forest, constantly putting pressure on Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun held the gun with both hands and looked at the forest calmly.
At this time, there was no movement in the forest.
Zhao Jun slowly picked up the gun and held it in front of his chest.
"Clatter..." Suddenly, something big moved downward in the forest, and the branches and branches of the forest made a roaring sound.
"Bang!" Zhao Jun pulled the trigger.
The forest suddenly became quiet. There was no wind today and everything was quiet.
Zhao Jun stood there with his gun in hand. He did not dare to go into the woods, nor did he dare to relax his vigilance.
