The first thing Zhao Jun did when he got home was to put three ginseng buns into the cellar for storage.
When he came out of the cellar, opened the door in front of the house and entered the house, he heard Wang Meilan's voice from the back room: "Who is it? Who is back?"
"Mom, I'm back." Zhao Jun responded.
"My son is back." When Wang Meilan came out, the smile on her face was a little forced, not like before.
Zhao Jun knew that Wang Meilan was interested in Zhao Youcai, and he didn't know whether his father was able to hunt leopards in Yongsheng Village or not.
……
At this time, in the mountains, Zhao Youcai felt his ears were hot. He scratched them with his hands, and the more he scratched, the more itchy he became.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Jianjun crept up behind Zhao Youcai, knelt down and asked, "Dad, shall we go back?"
Zhao Youcai looked at the female goat lying under the tree seven or eight meters away. He couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said, "Tie the goat up and go home."
Zhou Jianjun shook his head helplessly, walked out from behind the tree, and untied the female goat from the tree.
Then they knocked it down, tied it with its four hooves, and pierced it with a stick. The father-in-law and his wife carried the ewe down the mountain.
This big ewe is different from the little lamb in that it cannot be carried. The key is that it is quite energetic. When it struggles against Zhou Jianjun, Zhou Jianjun cannot control it.
I have no choice but to carry it away like a pig.
Walking on a mountain road is different from walking on flat ground. Although the ewe only weighs more than eighty pounds, it is quite difficult for the two of them to carry it.
After finally returning to the village, Weng and his son-in-law continued to carry the sheep home. Someone greeted Zhou Jianjun on the road and said to Zhou Jianjun: "Jianjun, why are you carrying the sheep back again?"
Coincidentally, when this man came out of his home and went to the hut in the morning, he saw Zhao Youcai and Zhou Jianjun carrying sheep.
It was almost evening, and the man came out from home to go to the hut again, only to see the father-in-law and son-in-law carrying the sheep again.
In the morning, they were carried outside the village, and in the evening, they were carried into the village, which would inevitably make people feel a little strange.
"Ah, yes." Zhou Jianjun agreed vaguely. If he didn't answer like this, there was no way to explain it. Saying this kind of thing would make people laugh.
The two carried the sheep back to Zhou's house. As soon as they entered the yard and were tying the sheep to the shed by the wall, Hu Sanmei and Zhao Chun came out of the house.
Hu Sanmei looked at the two men, then at the sheep, and finally turned her attention to Zhao Chun.
The in-laws are here and they are guests, what can Hu Sanmei say? There are some things that his daughter can only tell her father.
"Alas!" Zhao Chun sighed inwardly. At this time, she was a little worried about Zhao Youcai. This big ewe couldn't be cheap, and she didn't know how Zhao Youcai hid the money. If Wang Meilan knew about it, would it be repayable?<
/p>
"My mother-in-law!" At this time, Zhao Youcai pointed at the ewe and said to Hu Sanmei: "Bring out a basin, this ewe still has milk."
Hu Sanmei took a look and thought, isn't it? Not only does this ewe have milk, but it also has swollen milk.
In early spring, there was nothing to feed the lambs, so the two lambs had always been fed breast milk.
The two little lambs were bought by Zhou Jianjun one after another, and no one took the milk from the big sheep. This morning, the Sun family originally wanted to milk the goats, but before they could start, Zhou Jianjun came again.
Hu Sanmei came out with a basin to milk the goat, and Zhao Youcai entered the house. When Zhou Jianjun saw Zhao Chun looking at him unkindly, he hurriedly followed Zhao Youcai into the house.
But the couple sleeps on the same bed every day, can he run away?
When he walked into the house, Zhao Chun followed behind.
"Let me ask you!" Zhao Chun entered the room and pointed at Zhou Jianjun and said, "Where did our dad get the money to buy the sheep?"
"I don't know that."
Zhao Chun asked again: "Did he put it in his pocket and take it out?"
"No."
"Why do you, a man, talk so loudly? Tell me quickly, where did Dad get the money?"
Zhao Chun didn't believe that Zhao Youcai would carry so much money with him. She felt that there must be something fishy in it, so she asked Zhou Jianjun.
Zhou Jianjun knew that it was impossible to slip through, so he immediately said: "Daughter-in-law, do you know the name Han from our village?"
"We know each other, aren't we dad's apprentice?"
"Yeah." Zhou Jianjun nodded and said, "Our dad went to his house today when he left home. The money to buy the sheep was given by Han Daming. He took sixty and spent fifty."
Speaking of this, Zhou Jianjun saw that Zhao Chun's expression was wrong and said hurriedly: "It seems that dad put this money in his place."
"Ah!" Zhao Chun looked up at the south wall. At this time, there was only a wall between her and her old father. Although she couldn't see her father, Zhao Chun sincerely "admire" Zhao Youcai from the bottom of her heart.
……
"Son, why don't your dad come back yet?"
Zhao Junjia.
During dinner in the evening, Wang Meilan sat at the dinner table and said to Zhao Jun several times. The same sentence she kept repeating was: Why isn't your father coming back?
Zhao Jun didn't know, so he could only comfort Wang Meilan with kind words. But considering that Zhao Youcai had been out for several days, he should be back.
After dinner, Zhao Jun helped Wang Meilan pick up the table and then went back to the house to rest.
Early the next morning, when Zhao Jun came out of his home, he did not carry a gun, only a bag.
When Zhao Jun went out, he went straight to Zhang Yuanmin's house. At this time, he had just eaten breakfast. Yang Yufeng was washing the dishes in the outer room, while Zhang Yuanmin was sitting on the edge of the kang wearing leggings.
"Yeah, brother is here." Seeing Zhao Jun come in, Yang Yufeng hurriedly put down her work, rubbed her wet hands on her clothes casually, and said, "Quickly come in, my sister-in-law will pour you some water."
"Sister-in-law, stop working." Zhao Jun stopped her and said, "My brother and I will leave right away."
Zhao Jun said, and came to the house. But when he entered the house, he was frightened.
I saw Zhang Yuanmin with an invasion knife on each side of his waist, a small hand ax strapped to the outside of his right thigh, and a fork on the outside of his left calf.
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Are you still going to Liulujiao today? Can't it be so fast?"
The big man had to chew the medicine from the ground for two days, but it wouldn't be so fast. Now when he went up to Liulujiao, there was nothing.
"Ah?" Zhang Yuanmin looked at Zhao Jun blankly, not understanding what he was going to say.
Zhao Jun added: "If you want to go to Liulujiao, I will go home to get the gun. You don't need to bring these things."
When Zhao Jun said this, Zhang Yuanmin understood and smiled at Zhao Jun: "Brother, the deer has to chew for two days before it can chew the medicine. I heard what you said, we are going to find the mallet collector today.
I just wanted to take care of them and be on guard against them."
"Pull him down quickly." Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly held Zhang Yuanmin down and said, "We are going without a mallet today, are you afraid that others will snatch you away? Besides, I am looking for someone from the supply and marketing cooperative, so there is nothing wrong with me.
”
As he said that, Zhao Jun grabbed the knife behind Zhang Yuanmin and said, "If you want to go up the mountain, just bring a knife. You don't need to do so much."
The two of them came out of home and walked all the way to the outside of the village. They were chatting as they walked. Then they heard Zhang Yuanmin ask Zhao Jun: "Brother, didn't you say there are still big goods in the old village? Why are we digging three seedlings now?"
Where is it?"
Yesterday in the old village, Zhao Jun said that there was a big cargo, but he only carried three seedlings of ginseng and came back with Zhang Yuanmin.
"I only know a certain area for this big deal. We have to make a journey. It's too laborious for both of us." Zhao Jun glanced aside and saw Zhao Guofeng walking quickly this way. Zhao Jun patted Zhang Yuanmin on the shoulder and said to him
Said: "I want to get some people to carry out all the mallets in the old pit."
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, he heard Zhao Guofeng calling his name.
Zhao Jun turned around to greet him. As he walked, he smiled and said, "What's wrong, Uncle Zhao?"
"Jun." Zhao Guofeng said: "Come to my house after get off work in the evening, and I will give you the difference."
Giving money is a good thing. When Zhao Jun heard this, he smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go there tonight."
"Don't leave in a hurry." Zhao Guofeng raised his hand to attack Zhao Jun, and then said: "Yesterday in our village, Jiang Lao San and Liu Lao Wu went to the mountain to dig wild vegetables. They didn't meet anything before they came back. They said they were tiger cubs.
That one said it looks like a little tiger, I don’t know what it is.”
Jiang Laosan and Liu Laowu collected and released mountains, but they had never been surrounded and did not recognize leopards.
But when Zhao Jun heard this, he understood in his heart that this should be the Amur leopard that he and Zhang Yuanmin had been looking for before.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun asked Zhao Guofeng, "Uncle Zhao, where did they see them?"
"I heard that it is in the forest from Laolongwanggou to Huangshitangzi."
