"Leopard!" When Zhao Jun heard this, he remembered the leopard he had once aimed at.
There have been so many things going on lately that I almost forgot about it.
At home, Wang Meilan mentioned the leopard a few times. But in Wang Meilan's nagging, the leopard was just a supporting role, and the protagonist was undoubtedly Zhao Youcai, who bought sheep and fed the leopard.
Traveling a thousand miles a day is an exaggeration. But a leopard can definitely travel a hundred miles a day.
This leopard went from Yong'an to Yongsheng and then back to Yong'an. I don't know where it went in the middle, and now it appears near the Yongxing brigade again.
This leopard can really do anything.
On the other end of the phone, Tao Dabao said: "Our production team raises cows and sheep, and we let an old man named Zheng take care of them. He herds cows and sheep every day, and goes to the fish pond where our brigade keeps it in the mountains. He even fishes."
Bring grazing.”
The Yongxing brigade has a large number of people and a large family business. They built a fish pond between two mountains and put fish fry in it every year.
Since the beginning of spring, the old Zhengtou who herds cattle and sheep has driven the cattle and sheep up every day and let them graze everywhere, while he himself fishes in front of the fish pond.
It has always been good, but in the past two days, Lao Zhengtou found that he had fewer sheep.
Although only one sheep is missing, this sheep belongs to the brigade, so is it worth losing it?
Not even one less one!
Lao Zhengtou didn't even catch the fish, so he threw away the fishing rod, went home and called his two sons. They searched all over the mountains, but couldn't find the sheep. Lao Zhengtou thought about reporting to the team the next day.
Unexpectedly, I came back and checked again in the evening, and found that one sheep was missing.
Now the trouble was serious. Lao Zheng got up early the next day and went to Tao Dabao's house to report the news to Tao Dabao. Upon hearing this, Tao Dabao hurriedly went to the brigade headquarters and used the loudspeaker to summon the hunting team and asked them to carry guns.
, take the dog into the mountains to check it out.
As soon as the dogs entered the mountains, they chased roe deer, chased wild boars, or surrounded black bears. In the end, they killed a lot of prey, but no one knew what had eaten the sheep.
In this way, the hunter team rowed through several hills around the fish pond, and a number of large beasts fled to death and were injured.
But after the hunter team withdrew its troops, no sheep were lost on the second day, but another sheep was lost on the third day.
In desperation, Lao Zhengtou could only drive his cattle and sheep to a different grazing place.
But after a few days of rest, the sheep was lost!
This thing is specifically targeting sheep!
The team members also wondered what this thing was. It didn't eat cows, but only sheep. I thought it wasn't too big, so it couldn't be a tiger or a bear.
But this guy couldn't see the footprints. Without the footprints, he couldn't tell what it was.
Until one day, a villager went to the mountains to clear up wasteland and plant corn. He saw a leopard dragging a half-eaten sheep up a tree. He was so frightened that he grabbed the hoe and ran back.
When he returned to the brigade, he found Tao Dabao and told him what he had seen. Tao Dabao immediately ordered thirty people, each carrying a semi-automatic rifle, and he personally led the team to kill the leopard.
But when they arrived, the half of the sheep was still there, but the leopard was gone.
Tao Dabao was unwilling to comply and hurriedly asked the hunting team to continue the search, but nothing was found.
When everyone returned to the village, Lao Zheng, the sheepherder, heard for the first time that a leopard had eaten the sheep, and immediately jumped up and cursed angrily.
As an older man, he knew a little about the power of leopards. He knew that they could easily catch roe deer and rabbits in the mountains, but they still insisted on stealing the sheep they herded.
The next day, Tao Dabao sent out two hunting teams, one with dogs and the other without dogs. The two teams went into the mountains together and conducted a carpet search.
But if you go there, you can't catch the leopard at all. If you take the dog there, the hunting dog can't run very far, and they all come back with their tails between their legs.
The dog is scared!
Tao Dabao and Yu Xuewen discussed it and decided to ask Zhao Jun to take action. After all, Zhao Jun left a deep impression on them. If nothing else, Zhao Jun's method of capturing the tiger was something others wanted to do.
I can’t even think of it.
So, even at this time, Tao Dabao made a phone call to the Yong'an Tunbu.
It happened that Zhao Guofeng was still in the Tunbu. When he picked up the call, he heard that Tao Dabao was looking for Zhao Jun. He hurriedly came out of the Tunbu and went to Zhao Jun's house to inform him.
But as soon as Zhao Guofeng left the camp, he met Zhao Jinshan who came to ask him to go home for dinner. This time it was better, Zhao Guofeng asked Zhao Jinshan to run errands to Zhao Jun's house to report the news, and he went back to the camp to pick up the phone and chat with Tao Dabao. After all, compared with Tao Dabao, Zhao Guofeng was in charge of a small village, and his status was far behind him. If there were opportunities, why not try to get close to him?
"Uncle Tao." Zhao Jun said directly to Tao Dabao on the phone: "I have to meet my date the day after tomorrow, and I won't be able to go to your place these two days."
"Ah?" Tao Dabao heard that marriage was not a child's play and could not be delayed. He immediately asked Zhao Jun to set a wedding date and tell him that his whole family would come to attend Zhao Jun's wedding.
Zhao Jun agreed, then put down the phone, and after saying a few polite words to Zhao Guofeng, they left the camp together and went back to their homes.
When Zhao Jun arrived at home, everyone in the family had finished eating, but Wang Meilan put the food in a big pot for him, and the food was still warm at this time.
Zhao Jun carried the plate and bowl into the east room, and heard Zhao Youcai ask him: "Where did you get the phone call?"
When Zhao Jun heard this, he glanced at Zhao Youcai, then smiled and shook his head and said, "Nowhere."
Zhao Youcai was startled and suddenly became reluctant. He sneered and said, "This son is so awesome that he is not even willing to talk to me."
Wang Meilan just happened to come in with a plate and chopsticks, put the dishes on the Kang table, handed the chopsticks to Zhao Jun, then glanced at Zhao Youcai and said, "Look, why do you say that about your son?"
"Isn't that right?" Zhao Youcai pointed at Zhao Jun and said with a sneer: "As an old man, no one even called me."
This face was completely different from the one he had when Zhao Jun gave him money yesterday.
"Hey!" Zhao Jun sighed inwardly, smiled helplessly, and then said: "Uncle Tao from Yongxing Brigade called me, saying that a leopard came to their place."
As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Youcai's expression changed instantly, and at the same time he felt two murderous eyes falling on him.
Zhao Youcai secretly thought it was not good and hurriedly winked at Zhao Jun. But at this time, Zhao Jun had just picked up the plate with cabbage and potatoes and was pouring the vegetables and vegetable soup into his bowl, and did not see Zhao Youcai's wink at all. Zhao Jun said: "When the leopard went to Yongxing, he didn't eat anything else, but only caught the sheep in their team. In the past ten days, they had five or six sheep, and no one knows why."<
/p>
"Why? Ha!" As soon as Zhao Jun finished his words, Wang Meilan said coldly: "I'm greedy. There are roe deer and other things in the mountains, but there is no lamb as delicious."
Speaking of this, Wang Meilan turned to Zhao Youcai and asked: "Really? Zhao Youcai!"
