Chapter 1429 Return with a Full Load
At 4 o'clock in the morning on February 3, 1988, in the Zhao Family Courtyard in Jinxi.
The Liberation truck and the jeep drove out of the yard one after another. With the farewell of Zhao Weipeng's family of five, Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen set off on their way home.
The three brothers left home on the 25th of last month, and today is exactly the tenth day.
The three of them returned with a full load on this trip to Hebei: a jeep, a Rakshasa hound, two baskets of shrimps, two baskets of crabs, a basket of hairtail, a basket of cod, a basket of Spanish mackerel, four boxes of Moutai, four Hongtashan, and more than 185,000 in cash.
The seafood was all given by Zhao Weipeng, and two of the four boxes of Moutai were given by Chen Shenghua, and the other two boxes of Moutai and four Hongtashan were also given by Zhao Weipeng.
As for the cash, the sum of the bear gall, skins and small brown bears sold was more than 200,100.
After paying Zhao Weipeng 15,000 yuan for the car, there was still 185,100 yuan left with some change.
The Jiefang truck carrying seafood and hunting dogs led the way, and the jeep carrying cash followed.
Jie Chen was driving the Jiefang truck, and Zhao Jun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was holding a little black bear and standing beside him with a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Jun replaced Jie Chen, and Jie Chen took a short break and replaced Li Baoyu.
The return journey was smooth, and the car passed Shulan smoothly in the afternoon. Because Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu were eager to go home, they did not rest at Jie Chen's house.
A little after 5:30 in the afternoon, the car passed the border between the two provinces and entered the Yong'an Forest Area.
When he got home, Zhao Jun, who was sitting in the car, felt that the air was different.
There was no one on the preparation road during this period, but the preparation road was winding. Even though Zhao Jun, who was driving the Jiefang truck in front, was eager to go home, he also slowed down the car.
At 9:20 in the evening, two cars drove into Yong'an Village.
At this time, the lights in the east and west rooms and the outer room of the Zhao family were on, and Wang Meilan looked out the window anxiously.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Weipeng called the Yong'an Village headquarters and asked Zhao Youcai to go over to answer the phone.
On the phone, Zhao Weipeng told Zhao Youcai the news that Zhao Jun and his three men had returned, and also told him about the fact that he had given Zhao Youcai a Rakshasa hound.
Zhao Youcai was very happy to hear that the Rakshasa hound could hunt wolves and had red hair.
After Wang Meilan got the news brought back by Zhao Youcai, she immediately lit a pine torch, gathered seven families, and told them the news that Zhao Jun and his three men had returned from business.
"Aoaoao..."
"Woof woof..."
Suddenly, the sound of dogs barking sounded outside the house, and Wang Meilan got up and walked out.
The women waiting in the outer room set off one after another, and the children watching TV in the east room also looked out the window.
Zhao Hong also wanted to go out, but was stopped by the old lady. The little girl didn't listen and insisted on going out to see what good things her brother brought back. But with Li Tongyun's "humph", Zhao Hongru seemed to be in a fixed spell, and she didn't dare to get off the kang after all.
The men in the west room also walked out, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, and Li Dazhi filed out. But Li Dazhi, who was walking at the end, turned around and gently pushed Zhang Yuanmin when he walked out of the west room.
"Go to the room quickly." Li Dazhi said, "You can just move, so stay in the room."
Zhang Yuanmin curled his lips and walked out of the west room, but he finally stood in the outer room and looked at the big Jiefang parked outside the yard through the window.
"Oh!" When Wang Meilan saw a jeep following the Jiefang car, she was startled and said, "Whose car is that?"
"His uncle Zhao followed?" Zhao Youcai said, and went to the jeep.
"No..." Wang Meilan frowned and said, "Didn't he call in the morning?"
Yes, if Zhao Weipeng came with him, how did he make that call?
But at this time, Zhao Youcai was thinking about his four reds and the four boxes of Moutai, so he didn't think about it carefully.
When Zhao Youcai walked to the front of the jeep, the passenger door was just opened. Xie Chen, who got out of the car, stuffed the little black bear into Zhao Youcai's arms and said, "Uncle, it's just right for you to hold it."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was stunned, and the little black bear in his arms was very excited to see the familiar person.
Zhao Youcai subconsciously wanted to ask something, but he was almost squeezed by someone, and then he heard Xie Sunshi shouting, "Little Er'er!"
"Mom!" Xie Chen responded, saying, "Wait for me to get the money!"
As he said, Xie Chen opened the back door and pulled a sack of money from the back seat.
And the same thing happened to Li Baoyu opposite him.
When Wang Meilan, who was holding Zhao Jun, heard that it was money, she asked Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to escort the money into the house.
Then, except Zhao Youcai who was holding the bear, everyone else, including the women, started to unload things from the Jiefang car.
But soon, Zhao Youcai stuffed the little black bear to Li Ruhai, and he stepped forward to take the rope that tied the red-haired hound.
"Oh, Sihong." Zhao Youcai held the rope with one hand and touched the back of the red-haired hound's head with the other.
This red-haired hound was also a lazy one, and took the initiative to push his head back and accept Zhao Youcai's touch.
"Get up!" Wang Meilan scolded both the dog and Zhao Youcai. Wang Meilan, who was carrying a large basket of crabs with Jin Xiaomei, said to Zhao Youcai: "Take the dog to the yard, don't block here!"
Zhao Youcai pulled his Sihong aside to make room for Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei.
Baskets of seafood were brought into the warehouse and covered with tarpaulin.
At this time, Zhao Jun, who had entered the yard, felt something was wrong.
Before he left, there was only a large doghouse under the west wall of his house, where Da Pang and San Pang lived originally, and later three red dogs lived.
When Zhao Jun came back today, he saw two more doghouses under the west wall.
Seeing Zhao Youcai leading the red-haired hunting dog into the yard, the hunting dogs that were just acting cute to Zhao Jun all turned to the red-haired hunting dog and howled.
The red-haired hunting dog that hunted wolves in Luosha and bullied the wolfdog Hu Zi in Liang Zhanshan's house was not a good person either, and roared fiercely at the row of hunting dogs opposite.
Zhao Youcai dragged the red-haired hunting dog and placed it in the doghouse next to the outdoor stove, with a doghouse between it and the red dog and its mother and son.
Zhao Jun scolded twice, and the hunting dogs of the Zhao family's dog gang became slightly quieter. Then, the hunting dog that had not seen its owner for nearly ten days began to grumble at Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun touched Erhei and Bailong, and when he walked in front of Qinglong and Heilong, the two dogs stood up and raised their front legs to jump into his arms.
Zhao Jun hugged the two dogs, and Qinglong and Heilong carefully sniffed the smell on Zhao Jun's body with their noses.
"Woo... Woo..." But the new red-haired hunting dog broke the warmth. Seeing that the dogs on the opposite side stopped barking, it thought that those dogs were afraid of it, especially with Zhao Youcai standing next to it, so it bared its teeth and made a wooing protest sound.
"Aoaoao..."
"Woof woof woof..."
How could the black tiger, yellow dragon and other dogs tolerate it? They rushed to the red-haired hunting dog one by one, and even if they were tied with chains, they would pull the iron chains straight.
"Woof..." The blue dragon and black dragon in Zhao Jun's arms also barked at the red-haired hunting dog twice, but when they felt Zhao Jun's hand pause, the two dogs turned their heads in unison, looked up at Zhao Jun, and whimpered.
"Be quiet!" Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, and the Zhao family dog gang instantly quieted down. Wang Meilan, who came out of the warehouse, shouted: "Whoever is annoying, see if I will beat it up!"
At this time, the neighbors were all asleep. Isn't it annoying to have dogs barking in the yard?
"Woof! Woof!" The Zhao family dog gang quieted down, and the red-haired hunting dog instantly felt that he was fine again. But this dog is quite human. After being patted by Zhao Youcai, it also quieted down.
As the things that should be put into the warehouse were put into the warehouse and those that should go into the house went into the house, Zhao Jun, at Wang Meilan's urging, pushed away the black tiger that was sticking to him and went into the house with Wang Meilan.
"Brother!" As Zhao Jun entered the house, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na both rushed over.
At this time, Wang Meilan had already cut the noodles in advance and put them into the pot.
Dumplings for going out, noodles for returning home.
Wang Meilan personally rolled noodles with meat sauce and six stir-fried dishes.
The sauce and dishes were ready. When Zhao Jun and his friends were moving things outside, the old lady went downstairs to heat up the sauce and dishes.
At this moment, no one cared about the two sacks of money. They all surrounded Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to listen to their experiences on this trip.
Before returning, Zhao Jun had explained to Li Baoyu and Jie Chen that he would say what he could say and not what he couldn't say.
Therefore, none of the three mentioned their encounter with robbers on the road, but only talked about what they saw and heard when they went out.
The house was full of joy and peace, but outside the house was full of gunpowder.
The red-haired hound stood in front of its new home and provoked the black tiger, yellow dragon, flower dragon, blue dragon, black dragon, white dragon and two blacks opposite one by one.
It was new here and didn't know what Wang Meilan's status was at home, but the dogs under the east wall were different. After being scolded by Wang Meilan, the seven dogs of Black Tiger tried their best to restrain themselves.
"Woo...Woo..." The red-haired hound sat on the ground with his buttocks, kicked behind his ears with his hind paws, and then stood up to continue to demonstrate and provoke. The more the dog on the opposite side kept silent, the more the red-haired hound felt that he was awesome.
Suddenly, Black Tiger moved.
As should be said, the black tiger jumped up and frightened the red-haired hound.
But the black tiger bound by the iron chain couldn't pounce on the red-haired hound at all.
"Woof! Woof!" Seeing this, the red-haired hound proudly barked at Black Tiger twice.
At this time, Black Tiger turned around and faced the red-haired hound with his buttocks.
The red-haired hound was startled, but saw Black Tiger slightly pressed down and suddenly pulled himself back.
On the day when Zhao's family was robbed, Black Tiger broke free from the collar and chain in this way. Since then, Heihu was left free for a few days.
But this dog was born to be dishonest, getting into trouble and being naughty. Today, Wang Meilan felt that Heihu was almost done, so she tied him up again.
But this time, the collar was not tied so tightly.
That day, the hair on his neck was bald, and when he struggled again today, Heihu still felt a dull pain in that circle of his neck.
But at this moment, Heihu had only one thought in his mind: "Pretty, I'll do whatever I say today!"
As Heihu exerted force for the second time, the collar was pulled off his head, and Heihu fell backwards, but then he stood up and rushed straight to the red-haired hound!
The red-haired hound reacted quickly. Seeing that Heihu was rushing towards him, the red-haired hound jumped forward and kicked out a pair of front legs.
When dogs fight, they first stand like people and support each other with their front legs.
In the local dialect, this is called: supporting a cucumber rack.
The red-haired hound follows the rules, and Heihu is also like this. But the red-haired hound weighed only 70 kilograms, while the black tiger weighed 134 kilograms, almost twice as much as the red-haired hound.
Moreover, when the black tiger stood up, he was half a head taller than the red-haired hound.
The red-haired hound felt a black sensation on his head, and the next second he was thrown to the ground by the black tiger.
With his back pressed against the cold ground, the red-haired hound was a little confused for a moment.
At Liang Zhanshan's house, he always bullied the wolfdog named Huzi. But the tiger of the Zhao family cannot be bullied.
Before the red-haired hunting dog could react, the black tiger held it down.
The black tiger's paw stepped on the red-haired hunting dog's belly, causing it to almost lose its breath.
The red-haired hunting dog, which was extremely arrogant half a minute ago, tried its best to roll over after breaking away from the black tiger's claws. The red-haired hunting dog jumped forward, trying to escape into the kennel arranged for it by Zhao Youcai.
"Ouch..." A scream pierced the night sky. The head of the red-haired hunting dog went into the kennel, and its tail was bitten by the black tiger.
When people in the room heard the noise, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai both jumped up from the kang and ran out without having time to put on their cotton-padded jackets.
At this time, Li Baoyu, Li Dayong and others also changed their expressions, and everyone could tell that the dog barking was not good news.
Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai moved quickly, got off the kang and out of the outer room, pushed the door open and came out.
But when the two men came out of the house, they saw the black tiger dragging the red-haired hunting dog backwards.
The red-haired hunting dog screamed and struggled, and its way of struggling was nothing more than kicking the ground with its four paws, leaving scratches.
"Get away!" Zhao Youcai shouted violently, and Heihu ignored him. But when Zhao Jun said "huzi", Heihu let go, turned around, turned around and ran back.
Hearing that familiar name, the red-haired hound subconsciously raised its head, but then the pain on its tail made it howl.
"Ouch!" Zhao Youcai went over and touched the tail of the red-haired hound. The pain caused the red-haired hound to turn around and bite him, but Zhao Youcai dodged it.
"It's over!" Zhao Youcai didn't care about the dog. Instead, he looked at Black Tiger's kennel and cursed: "This wicked one!"
"What's going on, brother?" Li Dayong asked as he rushed over. Zhao Youcai said, "The dog's tail was bitten off."
"Ah?" Li Dayong lowered his head and looked into the kennel. The red-haired hunting dog inside grinned and growled threateningly at Li Dayong.
"Brother." Li Dayong raised his head and asked Zhao Youcai, "What's going on?"
"How to fix it?" Zhao Youcai frowned and said, "Pull it out, and then find two Kabbalah sticks to support it. I'll see how it's injured."
"Come back for dinner!" At this time, Wang Meilan's voice came from the house, and Wang Qiang said to Zhao Jun: "Grand nephew, you, Baoyu, and Xiaochen, go up to the house for dinner."
Zhao Jun responded. He was about to go back to eat, but when he turned around, he saw a dog standing outside the courtyard gate.
"There is a wicked person there!" Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed towards the courtyard door. Hua Niuniu, who was standing under the big lantern, turned around and ran towards the Li family's courtyard.
"Damn it!" Li Baoyu cursed and climbed over the wall to go home to tie the flower girl.
Hua Niuniu, who had smelled the scent of "prey" before, broke free from her chains and ran out. She didn't eat anything and was slapped twice.
Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen went back to the house to eat. There was a circle of people sitting next to them, but except for Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai, the other men were outside grooming the red-haired hunting dog.
Zhao Youcai held the dog's leash, while Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun held Kabbalah sticks and pushed the red-haired hunting dog to the ground.
Lin Xue, a forest farm doctor, went over and touched the tail of the red-haired hunting dog. Amidst the screams of the red-haired hound, Lin Xue shook his head and said to Zhao Youcai: "Brother-in-law, this dog's tail has been broken into three sections. The middle bone is broken and cannot be reattached. Otherwise, cut it off. ”
Zhao Youcai: "..."
