Chapter 1006: The Siberian Tiger Leaving Its Homeland

The first joint hunting between the Zhao Family Gang and the Zhao Family Hunting Gang went quite smoothly.

Because the black bear had its kidney injured by Zhang Yuanmin's hammer, it could not run too far in the afternoon and the night.

The two gangs joined forces, and the hunting dogs worked hard, and it took a little more than two hours to kill the black bear.

But then an unexpected situation occurred, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon when the car arrived outside Yong'an Village.

Li Dayong, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen led all the hunting dogs out of the car, and Zhao Youcai also handed the bear gall in his pocket to Li Dayong, asking him to take it home for disposal.

This bear gall was seized by the two gangs, but before going up the mountain, someone proposed that if the bear gall was killed, no matter how much it was sold, it would belong to the Zhao family, as the cost of several families eating and drinking at the Zhao family all day.

This proposal was responded to by everyone except Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai, but Zhao Jun did not express his opinion, and Zhao Youcai clearly opposed it.

But under the insistence of several families, Zhao Youcai's opposition was invalid. The meat and parts of the black bear were all given to Zhou Jianjun.

Although winter had just begun, the Zhao family gang, led by Zhao Jun, had hunted many black bears. Two were killed the day before yesterday, and the families had no shortage of bear oil. Every morning, they had to fry the steamed bread with oil, and they couldn't finish the bear oil.

In addition, Wang Meilan prepared a sack of bear meat and a sack of wild boar meat for Zhou Jianjun to take home.

But now they were in a hurry to send Li Daguai back, and people who died suddenly could not enter the village, so everyone said that they would not bother to take the two bags of meat, and directly give the black bear to the Zhou family.

In this way, the car stopped outside Yong'an Village, and everyone got off the car with their dogs and went home, and let the Zhao family father and son send Zhou Jianjun and Li Daguai back.

As for the two sets of cotton-padded jackets that Wang Meilan made for her uncle, they would be taken away together when Zhou Jianjun came to pick up Zhao Chun and the child next week. Anyway, Zhao Chun and the child would not go back with him today.

This was true, but Zhou Jianjun felt bitter. When Zhao Jun started the car, Zhou Jianjun looked deeply at the distant Qing Lao Hu and thought to himself, "That dog, I spent my money to buy it!"

Ten minutes later, the car stopped outside Yong'an Village. Zhao Youcai got off the passenger seat, but Zhou Jianjun did not get off the car.

Zhao Youcai took down a sack of parcels, and then he worked under the car himself. Zhao Jun drove and took Zhou Jianjun and Hei Xiong into the village.

Starting from the morning today, Hu Sanmei had to look out the window every few minutes, waiting and looking forward to the return of her grandson.

So, when the car stopped outside the village, Hu Sanmei jumped up directly from the kang.

"Is the grandson back?" Zhou Chunming threw the book in his hand aside and looked out the window.

This year, the winter production schedule of Yong'an Forest Farm is tight and the task is heavy. Zhou Chunming usually does not go home. He only comes back on Saturday night and rests at home on Sunday.

Last Saturday, Zhao Jun came to pick up Zhao Chun, which resulted in Zhou Chunming not seeing his grandson for half a month. He also missed little Zhou Dao very much.

After arriving home last night, Zhou Chunming kept hearing Hu Sanmei muttering that his grandson would be back today. Seeing the car parked outside the yard, Zhou Chunming hurriedly got off the kang and ran out in his cotton shoes.

But when the old couple came out of the house one after another, they saw Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun pulling the black bear down from the car.

"Auntie!" Seeing Hu Sanmei come out of the house first, Zhao Jun smiled and greeted her, and asked, "Is my uncle at home?"

Li Daguai must notify his family when he goes down the mountain. But Li Daguai's current situation is very miserable. Even Zhao Jun and others were shocked. His family will definitely not be able to bear it if they see it.

In this case, the villager needs to help build a shed outside the village, so the village chief must be notified first.

Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun are both juniors. It would be best if Zhou Chunming is at home. Let Zhou Chunming go to find Qi Shengli, and then let Qi Shengli notify Li Daguai's family.

"Zhao Jun..." Hu Sanmei ran to the door and greeted Zhao Jun with a smile, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Hu Sanmei slowed down her pace and stared straight into the car.

There was no daughter-in-law holding the grandson and getting off the car, and the mother and daughter were not in the car. The smile on Hu Sanmei's face disappeared immediately, and when she looked at Zhou Jianjun, Zhou Jianjun moved his eyes to the black bear with a guilty conscience, and said to Zhao Jun: "Jun, go with your brother-in-law to clean up this black bear in the yard, and I'll find someone to strip it after a while."

"Pa!"

As soon as Zhou Jianjun finished speaking, Hu Sanmei slapped him on the back. The slap was not heavy, but the material of the big cotton monkey was rough and heavy, and it made this noise when it was hit.

"My grandson..." Zhao Jun was beside her, and Hu Sanmei was still relatively controlled. She suppressed her anger and asked Zhou Jianjun: "Why didn't Chun'er bring the child back?"

"Oh my god, we encountered a special situation, so we just went back from the mountain." Zhou Jianjun was not stupid either, and he was busy trying to shirk the responsibility by using Li Daguai.

At this moment, Zhao Jun bowed slightly to the yard and called "Uncle".

"Child, take this thing down and go into the house. We'll eat at home tonight." Zhou Chunming was a little disappointed that he didn't see his grandson, but his mood was more stable than Hu Sanmei.

Zhao Jun didn't answer first, but worked hard with Zhou Jianjun to pull the black bear off the car, and then said to Zhou Chunming: "Uncle, let's not eat for now, we encountered something in the mountains."

"Huh? What happened?" Zhou Chunming raised his eyebrows and asked casually. This area of ​​mountains is his territory. As long as Zhao Jun and his men are safe, everything else can be easily solved.

"Dad, we found Li Daguai." As soon as Zhou Jianjun said this, Hu Sanmei asked before Zhou Chunming: "Where did you find him? How is he?"

The sudden news made the old lady forget about her eldest grandson temporarily.

"It's pretty miserable." Zhou Jianjun curled his lips when he said these three words, and then said: "Now my father-in-law and him are staying at the south end of the village."

"Oh, the in-laws are here!" Zhou Chunming heard that Zhao Youcai had also come, and hurriedly said to Hu Sanmei: "Go find two people to peel the black bear, and then prepare some dishes, and let the in-laws eat here in the evening."

"Hey, hey!" Hu Sanmei responded twice, and called Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun, saying: "You can just throw the black bear here, and then you two brothers go into the house to wash your faces and hands."

Five minutes later, Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun followed Zhou Chunming to Yongsheng Village, and found the village chief Qi Shengli to tell him about the matter. Qi Shengli did not use a loudspeaker to call people, but sent people to notify every household, asking the men to bring tools and wood to the outside of the village.

Then, Qi Shengli and Zhou Chunming went to Li Daguai's house together, while Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun went out of the village to meet Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai, who was outside Yongsheng Village, had not been idle. He found a big tree branch and used it to mark the scope of the mourning shed on the snow.

The bottom of the mourning shed was in a rectangle, and the area should be seven or eight square meters, but the rectangle drawn by Zhao Youcai was missing one side, and the missing side was the side facing the mountain field.

So when the mourning shed was built, the entrance was also facing the mountain, which was to make Li Daguai's soul go into the mountains and never return to the village.

There was no other way, people who died suddenly could only do so.

When Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun came out of the village, Zhao Youcai frowned and asked Zhao Jun: "Where is the car?"

"It's parked at the door of Uncle Zhou's house." Zhao Jun replied: "My Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou asked us to stay for dinner tonight."

Zhao Jun was not short of this meal, and even if he was the secretary, the food at home would not be as good as the one arranged by Wang Meilan. But the problem was that the in-laws came and sent a black bear, and the Zhou family had to leave food, so Zhao Jun didn't fight and agreed directly.

"What to eat..." Zhao Youcai was interrupted by Zhou Jianjun as soon as he opened his mouth. He only heard him say: "Dad, let my mother choose a few dishes, and then you and my dad, you two brothers will have a drink at home."

Zhao Youcai had no choice but to refuse his son-in-law's words. But he knew that he had caught a cold.

Before, he was frightened by Li Daguai on the mountain and broke out in a sweat. When the cold wind blew, Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong at the time. And now he didn't show it because the painkiller had taken effect. When the effect of the medicine wore off, the symptoms should come up.

But Zhao Youcai wanted to save face, so if he didn't say it himself, Zhao Jun and Zhou Jianjun didn't know either.

When Zhao Youcai and Zhou Jianjun finished smoking a cigarette, people came out of the village one after another.

After all, they were all from the same place, so everyone in the village knew the Zhao family father and son.

Everyone greeted each other, and at this time, the news that the Zhao family father and son took Li Daguai back had spread. The Li family had not arrived, and no one touched the sack that wrapped Li Daguai, but everyone was talking to the Zhao family father and son and Zhou Jianjun about the situation.

Speaking of Li Daguai, everyone was a little sad. At this time, Zhou Chengguo, Jiang Ming, and Wei Lai came out of the village.

As soon as he saw Zhao Jun, Zhou Chengguo was very enthusiastic and shouted that Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai should not leave and must come to his house for dinner in the evening.

Almost a year had passed, and Zhou Chengguo and his wife had always wanted to treat Zhao Jun to a meal. But today his wish was still not fulfilled, and Zhou Jianjun said a few words next to him, and finally Zhou Chengguo, Jiang Ming, and Wei Lai went to Zhou Jianjun's house together in the evening to accompany him.

When several people were talking, they heard crying coming from the village, and Qi Shengli brought the Li family out of the village.

If the host family did not come, everyone could not help.

After all, even if they helped, if they did not work in a timely manner, they would be exhausted and useless. At this time, the Li family arrived. Li Daguai's son thanked everyone first, and then everyone started to build a shed.

The Li family was not in a hurry to open the sack, but first came to thank Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai.

Li Daguai's wife had already burst into tears, and Li Daguai's son Li Xinmin knelt down in front of the Zhao family father and son and bowed.

It was a great favor to send his deceased father home.

Zhao Youcai helped Li Xinmin up and comforted him with a few words. After Li Xinmin nodded with tears in his eyes, he and his mother went to the sack and cried loudly.

"Youcai, you have worked hard!" At this time, Qi Shengli came to thank Zhao Youcai, and Zhao Youcai looked at the Li family and whispered to Qi Shengli: "It's miserable, you have to be prepared."

Now the sack rolls have not been opened, and the Li family is crying like this. It's hard to say what it will look like when the coffin is put in a while. Some things have to be covered by the village chief Qi Shengli.

"Hmm!" Qi Shengli nodded to Zhao Youcai, then sighed softly, and everyone was silent.

With strength in numbers, a simple wooden shed was quickly erected, and the coffin was carried out of the village by Li Dong and others.

As a nephew and an acquaintance of Zhao Jun, Li Dong once again expressed his gratitude to the Zhao family father and son.

Although Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai warned repeatedly, the people in the village were curious. When the sack was opened, Li Daguai's wife and daughter wailed in unison and both fainted. And several people in the village were also frightened.

The sad Li family was in a mess, and Qi Shengli called on the brave young men in the village to come forward to help, and then an old man named Bai helped Li Xinmin to take care of Li Daguai's burial.

This old man named Bai was a gentleman who looked after things in the villages around ten miles away, and he lived in Yongsheng Village.

After Li Daguai was buried, the Li family put on their clothes and started burning paper money in the shed. The villagers who had helped went back to the village in groups of three or two.

Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Qi Shengli, Zhou Chengguo, Jiang Ming, Wei Lai, and Han Daming were all invited to the house by Zhou's father and son. Hu Sanmei and the two women who helped were cooking in the outer room, while the men were talking in the house.

When they sat together, they couldn't help but mention Li Daguai, and when they mentioned him, everyone sighed.

"Oh, this is my old brother Li." When Li Daguai was mentioned, Wei Lai couldn't help shaking his head and said, "He is a money-grubber. What is he thinking about when he went up the mountain? Even Li Dong didn't want to take him."

Hearing Wei Lai's words, Zhao Jun and others nodded, and Zhou Chengguo was a little emotional. Li Daguai was a money-grubber and met with trouble when he went up the mountain alone. Although Zhou Chengguo was not a money-grubber, he almost lost his life in the mountain last year when he went up the mountain alone. If Zhao Jun hadn't rescued him, Zhou Chengguo's memorial day would have come soon.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chengguo leaned close to Zhao Jun's ear and whispered, "Brother, do you want a semi-automatic?"

Zhao Jun was stunned by Zhou Chengguo's question, but he immediately realized that the semi-automatic gun Zhou Chengguo was talking about was his own gun.

"Brother, I don't want it. There are two guns at home now. I'll just use one." Zhao Jun first expressed his attitude, and then asked Zhou Chengguo, "What's the matter, brother? You won't go up the mountain in the future?"

When he asked Zhao Jun if he wanted a gun, Zhou Chengguo spoke very secretly, and his voice was so low that no one else could hear it.

After hearing that Zhao Jun didn't want a gun and asked about himself, Zhou Chengguo no longer hid it and said openly, "I won't go up the mountain in the future. I've had enough."

When Zhou Chengguo said this, Zhou Chunming, Zhou Jianjun, Qi Shengli, Han Daming and other people who didn't hunt didn't think anything, but Zhao Youcai, Jiang Ming and Wei Lai were shocked.

Zhao Youcai has only recently become a master of shooting. In the hearts of hunters in Yong'an Forest District, his prestige is not as high as Zhou Chengguo's.

Now Zhou Chengguo has retired from the mountains, which is equivalent to the top star retiring in the hunting industry in Lingxi.

When asked by Jiang Ming and Wei Lai, Zhou Chengguo smiled lightly: "I have been hunting since I changed my job. I have been hunting wild boars, black bears, and roe deer for ten years. I am old. It's okay to think about it. It's almost done."

Hearing Zhou Chengguo say this, Jiang Ming nodded slightly and said to Wei Lai beside him: "Yes, our brother Zhou has hunted everything, and he has also hunted tigers with Uncle Zhao and others."

Zhou Chengguo is indeed low-key. His tiger hunting is still unknown to people. Lingxi only knows that four people hunted tigers that year, but they don't know who fired the two shots that killed the tiger.

"Hey?" At this moment, Wei Lai looked at Jiang Ming and smacked his lips and said, "You just mentioned the big claws, otherwise I wouldn't say anything."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ming was stunned when he heard it, and asked back, "Have you also played the big claws?"

After saying that, Jiang Ming looked at everyone and smiled.

Everyone was amused by Jiang Ming, and Wei Lai rolled his eyes at Jiang Ming, as if he was still frightened and said: "Yesterday, my eldest brother-in-law and my second brother-in-law, the three of us led the dogs to the Hengtiaogou to hunt. Halfway through, my three dogs ran back and peed."

"Oh!" Zhou Chengguo said in surprise: "That was a big paw!"

"Yeah!" Wei Lai pursed his lips and nodded: "The three of us quickly walked back to the top of the post behind us, and saw a big paw passing by the 60-meter-high western post on the opposite side!"

At this point, Wei Lai paused for a moment before continuing: "Oh my god, it's really bright, that big paw must be about 400 pounds."

"Oh my god!" Jiang Ming was shocked when he heard this: "This thing, no one can control it in the mountains!"

What Jiang Ming said was true. The Siberian tiger that died two days ago was only about 300 pounds, and it was extremely arrogant when crossing the border. Besides, this one weighs more than 400 kilograms.

"Not really!" But at this time Wei Lai shook his head and said, "I don't know how that big claw is missing a tail!"

When he said this, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai looked at each other subconsciously. The two of them instantly determined that the tiger was the one that had a grudge against them, but at the same time, a bad idea flashed through their minds: "That big claw is going to cross the border!"
