But there was thick snow under the tiger. It fluttered and its limbs fell into the snow, and its neck and body were held tightly by someone, making it impossible to break free.
"Someone is coming." Tao Dabao shook his head left and right and shouted at the top of his voice: "Someone is coming quickly!"
Tao Dabao was anxious. In fact, he didn't even need to shout when he saw more than thirty militiamen, led by Yu Xuewen, coming quickly on skis.
When Yu Xuewen came closer, he came directly in front of the tiger's head, took off the semi-automatic rifle hanging on his shoulder, clicked the safety button, and pressed the muzzle against the tiger's head.
Then, I heard Yu Xuewen calling to everyone: "Tie him up quickly!"
Upon hearing his order, the surrounding militiamen stepped forward with hemp ropes, scrambled to remove the snow around the tiger's limbs, and then tied one end of the rope to the tiger's legs.
The tiger roared loudly, but it was restrained by the people and outnumbered, so it was unable to resist. It allowed these people to tie twelve large thick hemp ropes to its four legs respectively.
Fortunately, Zhao Jun stopped him.
If Zhao Jun hadn't stopped him, these people would have tied more than thirty ropes to the tiger.
Thanks to Zhao Jun, if you greet me like that, the tiger's four legs will be useless.
Only then did everyone give up.
After tying the tiger's limbs respectively, the militiamen worked together and pulled hard around. At this time, the Siberian tiger weighing 350 or 60 kilograms was pulled in mid-air.
When the tiger's head came out of the snow, it could not stop roaring, but it could not move its limbs at all.
What was even more cruel was yet to come. The militiamen cooperated with each other, pulling the tiger's legs and turning it over, from its belly to the ground to its belly upwards.
This is a tigress. When someone turns it belly up, it corresponds to the Northeastern dialect: A tigress climbs a tree upside down.
Immediately afterwards, everyone tied the tiger's four legs together like a pig. Then they used a long stick to pierce the middle of the four claws, placed two people on both sides, and carried it up the hillside. p>
Yu Xuewen put away his gun and smiled at Tao Dabao: "I didn't expect this move to be really effective."
Tao Dabao nodded and said to Yu Xuewen: "Thanks to Zhao Jun..." As he said that, Tao Dabao looked to the left and right, but Zhao Jun was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Yu Xuewen also reacted and went back to take a look. He saw Zhao Jun not far away, kneeling on the snow with a dog in his arms.
Usually, when a hunting dog is injured, its eyes will be watery and it will look at its owner blinkingly.
But at this time, Hua Xiaoer was looking at the empty hillside with fierce eyes, breathing white air with his long mouth.
I saw that Hua Xiaoer's left rib was torn apart by sharp claws, and the broken ribs could be seen from the wound.
Opposite Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu had already burst into tears. At this time, he only felt regret and self-blame.
At the moment when the tiger rushed down the hillside, Li Baoyu subconsciously glanced at Hua Xiao'er, but Hua Xiao'er didn't scream at that time and just lay down at his feet.
Li Baoyu thought Hua Xiao'er was scared, but he didn't expect that the moment he was watching the excitement, Hua Xiao'er jumped out.
Zhao Jun reached out and slowly stroked Hua Xiaoer's neck. He could feel Hua Xiaoer's breathing getting weaker and weaker.
Zhao Jun leaned down, came close to Hua Xiao'er's ear, and whispered: "Hua Xiao'er, I have been fighting siege for twelve years, and I have never seen a leader who is more powerful than you."
Zhao Jun's voice was very low, but Hua Xiaoer could hear it, and Li Baoyu who was opposite him could also hear it.
But at this time, Li Baoyu was filled with self-blame and regret, and did not even think about what Zhao Jun said.
But Hua Xiaoer heard it.
And when it heard Zhao Jun's words, it blinked its eyes. When it opened it again, the fierceness was no longer in its eyes, but it was still as watery as before.
It wanted to turn its head and look up at Zhao Jun, but closed its eyes again the next second.
Once closed, it can no longer be opened.
Zhao Jun looked down at it, was silent for a moment, then put his left arm around Hua Xiaoer's head, and his right hand supported its body from below. Regardless of the fact that it was still bleeding, he picked it up and walked up the hillside.
.
There is no shortage of pine trees on this high mountain. Zhao Jun chose the largest red pine in this area, and then buried Hua Xiaoer under the tree, covering it with thick snow.
"Zhao Jun, this..." Tao Dabao came over. He wanted to tell Zhao Jun that he and Yu Xuewen had discussed it, and the brigade would give him some compensation for the damage caused to Zhao Jun's dogs.
But looking at Zhao Jun's expression now, it seems that money and food stamps can't compensate him. Therefore, Tao Dabao couldn't say what he said next.
"Uncle Tao. At this time, Zhao Jun's voice was hoarse and he said without looking back: "Have you brought cigarettes? If you want to, just give me a few."
"Bring it, bring it." Hearing this, Tao Dabao hurriedly took out the Spring Festival cigarettes from his pocket. He thought that Zhao Jun was in a bad mood and wanted to smoke to relax. But he didn't expect that Zhao Jun took the cigarette case and
After picking up the matchbox, he took out four cigarettes from the cigarette box and then returned the cigarette box to Tao Dabao.
"This is to smoke continuously." Tao Dabao thought to himself, but did not say anything to persuade him, but saw Zhao Jun clip one cigarette to his ear, then strike a match and light the other three cigarettes together.<
/p>
Every time Zhao Jun lit a cigarette, he turned it upside down and inserted the filter tip into the snowdrift where Hua Xiaoer was buried.
After he finished inserting three cigarettes, he saw white smoke curling up and filling the air.
Zhao Jun pursed his lips, took the last cigarette from his ear, lit it, put it into his mouth, and then returned the matchbox to Tao Dabao.
Zhao Jun smoked quickly. After a cigarette burned out quickly, Zhao Jun turned around and said to Li Baoyu: "Baoyu, let's go, let's go back."
"Brother..."
"Go back." Zhao Jun reached out and patted Li Baoyu on the shoulder, said to him again, then turned around and left without looking back.
By the time Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu caught up with the large group of troops, the militiamen had already carried the tiger onto the horse sledge.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But seeing that we were still more than five hundred meters away from the horse-drawn sledge, the horses pulling the sledge in the distance suddenly became hairy.
But before he came, Tao Dabao told those driving the sledges, so they tied the horse's reins tightly, and the horse couldn't break free no matter how hard it jumped.
But as the tiger got closer and closer, the horses seemed to be going crazy, pulling their necks, raising their front hooves, and barking non-stop.
"Secretary, Director, it doesn't seem possible." Li Laowu came to Yuxuewen, behind Tao Dabao, and said: "These big claws are more evil than a blind bear. The horses don't dare to pull. We have to force them to pull. They won't be able to pull."
Jump into the ravine."
"Then just carry it back." Tao Dabao made a quick decision and said, "Come out and put some people in groups of four, and three groups will take turns to carry it. Leave ten more people carrying guns to prevent anything from happening again."
If you usually kill a wild boar or a black bear, you can just pull the rope down. But this tiger is alive and can only be carried by others.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, so Tao Dabao left twelve people behind and carried them in three shifts. The militiamen listened to his instructions and immediately followed his instructions. Moreover, there were more than twenty-two people left behind, and there were also some people who were curious about tigers.
They all stayed.
At this time, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu were not in the mood, so they took the sledge all the way back to Yongxing Brigade.
And Yu Xuewen ordered Li Laowu, who was driving the sledge, to send Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu to Tao Erbao's house.
Arriving at the door of Tao Erbao's house, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu got off the sledge and said goodbye to Li Laowu. After watching Li Laowu drive away on the sledge, as soon as the two entered the yard, they heard the little flower calling.
This is not a call to look after the house, but the excitement of seeing the owner.
Seeing Xiao Hua alone in front of the kennel, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu felt very uncomfortable. Li Baoyu walked towards Xiao Hua, while Zhao Jun went into the house directly.
As soon as Zhao Jun opened the door, he saw Li Yunxiang busy making lunch in front of the pot. They caught the tiger fast enough. It was just past twelve o'clock.
"Zhao Jun, you are back." As soon as he saw Zhao Jun enter the house, Li Yunxiang said to him: "As soon as you left, that big flower dog ran out. You, Mr. Tao and Xiao Fei, go find one in the group."
At noon, I couldn’t find it either.”
As soon as Li Yunxiang finished speaking, Tao Fulin and Tao Fei came out of the back room. When they saw Zhao Jun for the first time, they both said the same thing as Li Yunxiang.
At this time, Zhao Jun forced a smile on his face and said to the three people of the Tao family: "Our Hua Xiaoer went to grab the big paw with us, and took out two big paws!"
"Ah!" As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Tao Fulin was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Really? False?"
"Really." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "My Hua Xiao'er is the number one dog in this mountain farm!"
The original Yong'an forest area included more than a hundred forest classes, plus four villages outside the mountain: Yong'an, Yongsheng, Yongfu, and Yongli.
In these places, there are not thousands, but hundreds of hunting dogs. Among these dogs, Hua Xiaoer is number one.
And now, even in the Yongxing Brigade, whenever anyone mentions a good hunting dog, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be the flower boy who takes out the tiger's mouth.
That's right, when the militiamen carried the tiger back in the afternoon, Hua Xiaoer became famous, and even Zhao Jun became famous.
There are still four days until the end of the spring hunting, and Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu are not in a hurry to go home. Of course, they are not the spring hunting rewards awarded by the Tuna brigade, but the dogs are injured and need to be raised for a few days before they can ride the sledge.
Go home.
In the past few days, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu have not been idle. They carried guns and went into the mountains to hunt. As the spring hunting came to an end, there were fewer and fewer prey.
On the sixth day, when Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu had breakfast and were wearing leggings in the room, Tao Dabao came again.
But unlike the previous two times, as soon as Tao Dabao saw Zhao Jun, he laughed at him and said: "Zhao Jun, you have helped our team a lot by catching the tiger. Just tell me what reward you want."
."
At this point, Tao Dabao added: "I said this, our brigade gave it to you."
Tao Dabao's words are already very obvious. He is asking Zhao Jun not to bear the burden and just make demands. Whether success or failure is a matter between Zhao Jun and the brigade. It has nothing to do with the Tao family and Tao Dabao.
As for the favor Tao Dabao owes Zhao Jun, that is another matter.
Zhao Jun thought for a while, looked up at the semi-automatic gun hanging on the wall, and said to Tao Dabao: "Uncle Tao, if it's convenient, you can lend me the gun."
In fact, since Zhou Chengguo was transferred to the forest farm to manage equipment, Zhao Jun has no shortage of guns. However, the guns in the forest farm are often inspected and cannot be left at home for a long time.
But there is not much to say about the guns of the Yongxing Brigade. It is just a matter of Tao Dabao's words.
"Ah?" Hearing this, Tao Dabao turned around and looked at the gun. When he turned around again, he smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about. Just take it and it's over."
But at this point, Tao Dabao changed the subject and said: "Every year before the National Day, the Armed Forces Ministry has to come down to take inventory and check these guns and other things. As for you, take this gun with you when you go back.
, I will ask someone to send you a message during the inspection before November, and you can come over with a gun and play with us for a few days. When they finish the inspection, you can take the gun away."
"Okay." Zhao Jun heard this and said hurriedly: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Tao."
"No trouble." Tao Dabao said with a smile: "This is no big deal. When you leave, I will get you some more bullets so that you can shoot hard."
"That's good."
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu were both happy when they heard this. At this time, Zhao Jun asked Tao Dabao again: "Uncle Tao, can you lend me a few pairs of your skis? I'll bring them back to you when I come before November.
."
It looks like I'm going to be civilized now, and I won't be able to use my skis anymore, so I'm not in a hurry to return them.
"What else is there for that crappy thing?" Tao Dabao said proudly: "You can take as much as you want. Let's hunt the old pigs this spring and then do it."
"That's okay." After hearing what he said, Zhao Jun stopped being polite and said immediately: "Then when I leave, I'll find you."
"Okay." After Tao Dabao finished speaking, he turned and left. The spring hunting was going on all the time. There were many fights in the mountains and outside the mountains because of the prey. Tao Dabao, the security director, was not idle all day.
.
Seeing Tao Dabao leaving, Li Baoyu approached Zhao Jun and said with a smile: "Brother, we have a gun this time, and the bullets don't cost any money."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said, "When you get back, you can practice your gun as long as you have nothing to do. When the snow on the sunny slopes has melted and the dogs can be restrained on the shady slopes, we will go to the Pig God to do it." When he heard about the Pig God, Li Baoyu immediately became energetic. Compared to a formidable guy like a tiger, the Pig God was something that hunters in the Yong'an Forest District wanted to kill but couldn't.
"Brother, you want skis for this reason, right?"
"Well." Zhao Jun said: "It is surrounded by old pigs. If we don't kill all those pigs, it will be difficult to kill it."
"Those old pigs...have all done it?" Li Baoyu said in surprise: "Can we two do it?"
"You will listen to me then, it's almost done." Zhao Jun said, having already put on his leggings. He stepped up and down from the edge of the kang, stamped his feet twice, and then said to Li Baoyu: "Come on, let's go up the mountain to take a walk."
Go, my aunt has been very interested in us these days since we have been here. I need to give her some meat before I leave."
"This is OK." Li Baoyu responded immediately after hearing this.
During the days when the two came to Tao's house, Li Yunxiang entertained them with delicious food and drinks. Especially when they came back from hunting, Li Yunxiang prepared meals for them no matter when they got home. This was really touching.
So, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu left the house, left the village and headed straight for the mountains.
