Chapter 1001 Green Tiger Goes to Battle

When Zhao Jun returned to the west room, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jun asked Zhao Chun with a smile: "I haven't seen my brother-in-law for a week, why are you still unhappy?"

Zhao Chun glared at Zhou Jianjun fiercely, and rarely responded to his brother's words.

At this time, Zhao Jun sat down sideways on the edge of the kang, and then said to Zhou Jianjun: "Brother-in-law, the wild boar behind the room is given to you."

"Ah?" Zhou Jianjun was stunned when he heard the words, but he heard Zhao Jun say: "It's the end of the year, you can see where to burn incense, and let's burn incense."

"This..." Zhou Jianjun hesitated, but he was more embarrassed. He had borrowed a lot from his brother-in-law this year. The wild boar and roe deer as gifts were all given to him by Zhao Jun.

Zhao Chun, who was standing aside, listened to Zhao Jun's words and looked at Zhou Jianjun with an increasingly unfriendly look. Until now, Zhao Chun couldn't figure out why Zhou Jianjun thought of coming empty-handed?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Zhao Chun moved his legs apart and kicked Zhou Jianjun in the back.

"Ah ha!" It didn't hurt, but it scared Zhou Jianjun.

Zhou Jianjun turned around and met Zhao Chun's sharp eyes, and didn't dare to say anything for a while.

Zhao Jun smiled, but didn't laugh out loud. In his impression, his elder sister and brother-in-law had a pretty good relationship. They talked and laughed about anything, and it was over. This kind of situation was rare.

Thinking about it, Zhao Jun's smile froze. He suddenly remembered that on the day he returned to his hometown in his previous life, his elder sister made dumplings at home, and his brother-in-law went out to buy braised meat. At dinner in the evening, his brother-in-law scolded him. But his brother-in-law was mostly disappointed, saying that he had lost such a good job and broke up such a good family.

At that time, Zhao Jun was not angry, but felt emotional and sad. But just when Zhou Jianjun wanted to say a few more words under the influence of alcohol, he was kicked by Zhao Chun.

Thinking of that scene, Zhao Jun quickly embraced Zhou Jianjun and said to Zhao Chun: "Sister, why are you still touching me?"

Zhao Chun couldn't help laughing after hearing what Zhao Jun said. She glared at Zhou Jianjun and said: "I'm angry at him."

Zhou Jianjun laughed. He knew he was in the wrong and couldn't tell Zhao Jun why he was kicked.

"Brother-in-law, that... we will go up the mountain for a stroll tomorrow. We won't be back at noon, but early in the afternoon." Zhao Jun said to Zhou Jianjun: "When we come back, I will use Xiaochen's car to send you home. After that, I will load the wild boar on your car. There are also the wild boars and black bears I killed the day before yesterday. Mom has saved some meat for you. It's just right to load a lot of them for you."

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhou Jianjun didn't know what to say. Even brothers don't help each other like this. Besides, in all these years, Zhou Jianjun has only seen the brother-in-law helping the younger brother-in-law, but never the younger brother-in-law helping the brother-in-law.

At this time, Zhao Chun kicked Zhou Jianjun in the back again, but this kick was lighter than the previous one.

Zhao Chun said, "You should thank my brother for giving you food and gifts today."

"What are you talking about, sister?" Zhao Jun stretched out her hand to push Zhao Chun's foot away from Zhou Jianjun, and said with a smile, "Aren't we a family?"

"That's right!" Zhou Jianjun followed the conversation, hugged Zhao Jun and said to Zhao Chun, "Isn't he my brother too?"

After talking to Zhao Chun, Zhou Jianjun said to Zhao Jun, "Jun, just wait and see how your brother-in-law treats you in the future!"

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, and he believed what Zhou Jianjun said.

At this time, Zhou Jianjun saw a smile on Zhao Chun's face, and he took advantage of the situation and said, "Chun'er, my brother will drive tomorrow, will you come back with me?"

When Zhao Chun heard Zhou Jianjun say that he was going home, his face suddenly darkened, and he said unhappily, "I won't go back!"

"This..." Zhou Jianjun wanted to persuade her again, but he heard Zhao Jun say, "Brother-in-law, let my sister stay at home for a few more days."

This morning, Zhao Jun heard Wang Meilan say that Zhao Chun wanted to stay at home for a few more days, saying that Zhao Chun was worried that Ma Ling would come into the family in the future, and that she, as the eldest sister-in-law, would cause trouble to her younger brother and sister-in-law if she went back to her parents' home.

In this regard, Zhao Jun felt that Zhao Chun was overthinking. But he fully agreed that his eldest sister wanted to stay at home.

"This..." After being rejected by Zhao Chun and persuaded by Zhao Jun, Zhou Jianjun knew that he would not be able to take his wife back tomorrow.

But when Zhou Jianjun thought of his mother's eager expectation and the fifty yuan this morning, he gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Chun: "Chun'er..."

"Okay!" Zhao Chun didn't give him a chance to speak, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Come back next Sunday, and when you're done..."

At the end, Zhao Chun didn't finish his words, but clenched his fist and gently hit Zhou Jianjun on the back.

This time Zhou Jianjun understood that his wife wanted him to behave well next Sunday.

...

November 29, 1987, Sunday.

Today, Zhao Baotou, who was going to hunt in the mountains, woke up early, personally put a pot of dog food, and then fed the dogs in the two yards.

Zhao Youcai fed the dogs and communicated with them at the same time. There were indeed a lot of dogs in his family. When Zhao Youcai finished feeding the dogs, an hour had passed.

When Zhao Youcai came back from outside, everyone in the family got up except for two little girls and a little boy.

Wang Meilan cooked a pot of frozen tofu and potatoes, with a lid full of sticky bean curd on top.

When Zhao Youcai entered the room, he saw Wang Meilan putting sticky bean curd on the lid, and asked in surprise: "Where did you get the bean curd?"

"My mother brought it to me." Wang Meilan replied, and seeing Zhao Youcai was stunned, she winked at him.

"Ah..." Zhao Youcai finally realized that he now has two mothers-in-law, and Wang Meilan was probably talking about Ma Ling's mother.

"Yesterday I sent some meat to my in-laws." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "My mother insisted on giving me half a bag of sticky bean curd."

"Okay!" Zhao Youcai nodded and said: "It's just right to eat this before going up the mountain, it can keep you hungry."

Wang Meilan smiled at him, put the lid on the pot, and asked Zhao Youcai: "Before you leave, I'll make you a bowl of sugar water?"

When Wang Meilan said this, Zhao Youcai suddenly recalled an unpleasant past. He blinked and walked into the house, just in time to see Zhao Jun holding Xiao Zhoudao and wandering on the ground.

"The dog you bought back must be in trouble." Zhao Youcai's words shocked Zhao Jun. He quickly handed the child to Zhou Jianjun and said as he walked out, "No, that little Niuniu was very happy when she came home yesterday."

"It's not Niuniu." Zhao Youcai stopped Zhao Jun and said, "You bought that green dog back, and it looked like it didn't eat much."

Zhao Jun frowned when he heard this. For people in the Northeast, whether it is a person or a domestic animal, if it can't be eaten, it means it's in trouble.

"Could it be that it just got home?" Zhao Chun asked from the side.

"No." Zhao Youcai pouted and shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that it doesn't eat, it eats, but not much."

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun stopped and didn't walk out.

...

Frozen tofu stewed with potatoes.

The authentic Northeastern brine tofu is placed outdoors to freeze naturally, and the originally white tofu turns golden yellow.

Each piece of frozen tofu has honeycomb eyes. After being stewed in an iron pot with firewood, the tofu is full of soup, and you can taste the soup with one bite.

He served a bowl of soup and vegetables, broke the roasted chili peppers in the stove and put them into the soup. Zhao Youcai ate three bowls in a row.

He also ate a lot of staple food. When Zhao Youcai picked up the twelfth sticky bean bun, no one else at the table had started eating.

"Well..." Wang Meilan couldn't help but said, "You're still eating?"

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was startled, and then said unhappily, "You won't let me eat this meal?"

"No, who can stop you from eating." Wang Meilan said, "I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

Wang Meilan only ate three sticky bean buns, while Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun only ate six each.

"It's okay!" Zhao Youcai brought the sticky bean bun to his mouth and took a bite, tearing open the rhubarb rice dough to take out the red bean filling inside.

"Haha..." Zhao Chun laughed and said, "My dad has a really good appetite. Jianjun and my brother can't eat as much as him."

Just as Zhao Chun finished speaking, there were a few barkings from outside the house, and Li Dayong and Li Baoyu, father and son, came over dressed neatly.

Zhao Youcai quickly ate the twelfth sticky bean bun, pushed the bowl away, took out cigarettes and shared them with Li Dayong and Zhou Jianjun.

While they were smoking, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, and Jie Chen came together.

Today, the forest farm was on holiday, and everyone was idle at home. They went up the mountain together not to make money, but for entertainment.

Seeing that they were all here, Zhao Youcai, Zhao Jun, and Zhou Jianjun hurriedly tied their leggings.

That's right, Zhou Jianjun also went for a stroll today. Otherwise, he would have to wait until Zhao Jun came back to send him off, so he just went up the mountain for a stroll.

In this way, Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Zhou Jianjun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen, a group of eight people. Among them, the father and son of the Zhao family each carried a semi-automatic rifle, Li Dayong carried Zhao Jun's No. 16 rifle, Wang Qiang carried his own rifle, and the rest carried knives and hatchets, and they came out of the Zhao family in a mighty manner.

With so many people dressed for the mountains, the hunting dogs in the yard were immediately in a frenzy.

The hunting dogs howled and jumped in front of the doghouse. The three red dogs in the big doghouse saw that Wulong and Erhei on the opposite side were like crazy. They had never hunted before and couldn't help but feel confused and a little scared.

Although Hua Niuniu, this little female dog had never hunted before, she smelled the exciting smell of the male dogs and jumped out of the doghouse immediately, facing Hua Long.

Then, Hua Niuniu's tail was raised high, her little butt was facing the sky, her two front legs were on the ground, and her two hind legs kept kicking the soil backwards.

Seeing Hua Niuniu like this, Hua Long, who had just entered the industry recently, immediately forgot the excitement of hunting and couldn't help but approach Hua Niuniu.

But the next second, Hua Long was grabbed by Zhao Jun.

After the iron chain on his neck was removed, Hua Long jumped in front of Hua Niuniu and stretched out his mouth to smell Hua Niuniu's butt.

"Go!" Zhao Youcai raised his leg to push Hua Long away. Hua Long wanted to go up again, but was forced back by Zhao Youcai.

"Woof! Woof!" Hua Long was very dissatisfied.

"Ah! Ah!" Hua Niuniu was even more dissatisfied.

"Is this bitch going to start a vineyard?" Zhao Youcai tilted his head to look behind Hua Niuniu's butt. Before Zhao Jun could speak, he saw Zhao Youcai waving his hand and said, "When you come back, tie this bitch next to Erhei!"

It should be said that Zhao Baotou is really good to Erhei.

"Dad, this dog..." Zhao Jun was about to dissuade him, but was pushed away by Zhao Youcai with his hand.

After pushing Zhao Jun's hand away, Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed forward, saying to Zhao Jun: "You should send the dog back to him tomorrow."

"Hmm?" Zhao Jun looked in the direction Zhao Youcai pointed, and saw Qing Lao Hu standing in front of the doghouse. It quietly looked at the noisy yard, the Qing Long and Hei Long who were howling and jumping in the yard after being unchained, and were anxious to go up the mountain to hunt, and the people busy in the yard.

"This dog is finished!" Zhao Youcai said: "It's not excited at all when it sees people going up the mountain. What else can it do?"

After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun clicked his eyes and remained silent.

Zhao Youcai is right. If a hunting dog is not excited about hunting, can it still be called a hunting dog?

"Bang!" When Zhao Jun was silent, Zhao Youcai hit Zhao Jun on the shoulder and said, "This dog is finished. It's an old dog. It took so much effort to drag it out. How many days can it still work? Do you want me?" He said, please send it back to someone as soon as possible, and return the 100 yuan to your mother when you’re done.”

While Zhao Youcai was talking to Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and others had already loaded all the hunting dogs that were going to fight into the car.

Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai also walked out. When the father and son walked to the warehouse, they heard the roar of a black tiger coming from inside.

Dog owners can tell the dog's mood and state from its barking. At this time, the black tiger's barking is full of eagerness and desire.

Today's black tiger can be regarded as a qualified hunting dog. Since the battle with the Siberian tiger, the black tiger has not gone up the mountain. Although Zhao Jun caught the prey and gave it meat the next day, and even gave it ginseng and chicken soup to drink every day, the hunting dogs could not be contained. They yearned for the mountains and were eager to hunt and fight.

If they are not allowed to go up the mountain for a long time, they will become aggrieved and scream in the direction of the mountain. This is called mountain wailing in the siege industry.

"Take a look!" Zhao Youcai turned around and pulled Zhao Jun again and said, "Those like Huzi know how to go up the mountain."

After hearing his words, Zhao Jun suddenly turned his head and looked at Qinghuo.

At this time, the old dog was still standing quietly in front of the kennel, his fur all over his body was loose, and his whole body was really lifeless.

Zhao Jun suddenly couldn't figure it out. It was understandable that the dog was so thin. Even if the dog came back to life, it was understandable. After all, it had not been hunting in the mountains for more than half a year, almost a year. It would lose weight if it had no meat to eat, and it would come back to life if it saw less battles.

But how did this dog get here?

The big-headed dog in the past would never be willing to die in a kennel. The more powerful a dog is, the more temper it has, and it is impossible for it to stop wailing.

But this dog usually doesn't bark.

The dog had barked twice since Zhao Jun saw it.

Zhao Jun did not go out with Zhao Youcai, but walked quickly to Qinghuo himself.

As he approached, Zhao Jun met Qinghuo's bright, black eyes.

From those eyes, Zhao Jun saw a special emotional color that Zhao Jun could not describe. But he has always believed that all things have spirits, and dogs are the most understanding of human nature.

"Tiger!" Zhao Junping stretched out his hand to hold the green tiger's chin, bent his fingertips back, gently scratched the green tiger's chin, and asked, "Follow me up the mountain?"

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, the old dog understood it instantly.

The green tiger lowered its head and arched its nose into Zhao Jun's hand. As it turned its head, its body rose up and a pair of front paws rested on Zhao Jun's body.

There was still no sound coming out of the old dog's mouth.

But at this time, Zhao Jun vaguely guessed the reason. He hugged the green tiger, touched its back and said, "When you go out with me, you can't get lost!"

When Zhao Jun said this, the green tiger's drooping tail stood up and swayed rapidly.

At this time, the sound of a car horn was heard outside the door. Zhao Jun untied the iron chain around Qinghuo's neck. When Qinghuo landed, he suddenly swayed and his loose fur shook.

"Let's go!" Following Zhao Jun's order, Qinghuo followed Zhao Jun and walked out of the courtyard.

When a person and a dog came out of the yard, Zhao Youcai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the car door, pointed at Zhao Jun and said, "Why the hell did you lead it out? As soon as this dog got home, you led it up the mountain and ran away. How to fix it if it’s lost?”

I took leave the day before yesterday and I owe a chapter. I will continue writing, but it will have to be a little later, probably around two or three o'clock. Brothers, if you are sleepy, go to bed first and see you again tomorrow morning
