Chapter 610 The Tiger Cub Pounced on the Man
Now is the time to pick mushrooms. Hazel mushrooms and Yuan mushrooms from the Northeast are both delicious, but at this time, outsiders don’t recognize them. Northeastern people like to eat them, so they go into the mountains to pick some when they are harvesting mushrooms, take them home and dry them in the yard. At least they have something to eat in the winter.
Today Zhang Yuanmin and Yang Yufeng went to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Suddenly Yang Yufeng dropped the basket on her back and ran away dragging Zhang Yuanmin.
Zhang Yuanmin asked her what was wrong, and Yang Yufeng shouted that she had big claws.
Zhang Yuanmin turned around subconsciously and saw a flash of yellow leaping up the tree and disappearing in an instant.
Zhang Yuanmin has seen large battles with Zhao Jun these days, and he knew at a glance that it was either a lynx or a leopard.
And both of these are valuable!
So Zhang Yuanmin stopped picking mushrooms, took Yang Yufeng and ran back. When he got home, he came to find Zhao Jun. But Zhao Jun had not returned at that time. Zhang Yuanmin asked Wang Meilan, but Wang Meilan hesitated and couldn't understand.
So Zhang Yuanmin went home first. When Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai came back, Wang Meilan was looking at the ginseng buns and forgot about Zhang Yuanmin's visit.
When Zhang Yuanmin said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes suddenly brightened up. He had wanted to hunt a lynx since last autumn, but in the end he gave up the lynx tail. In the spring of this year, he and Wang Dalong went up the mountain to surround the lynx, but they were beaten to the spot by Zhao Jun and Xu Changlin.
Now there is another chance, but he has to go to work tomorrow.
Just when Zhao Youcai was struggling, Zhao Jun directly promised Zhang Yuanmin: "Okay, brother, we will go tomorrow and knock it down."
"Ha!" As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, he heard a sneer from the side. Zhao Jun turned to Zhao Youcai and asked, "Dad, what are you laughing at?"
Zhao Youcai said: "That thing is not easy to fight. Are you two trying to escape?"
When Zhao Jun heard this, he blinked and said nothing. Whether Zhao Youcai was sarcastic or wanted to recommend himself, what he said was correct. Hunting lynx is difficult, better in winter, but even more difficult in other seasons.
The first two times Zhao Jun shot the lynx were not easy. The first time, Zhao Youcai shot first, wounding the lynx and forcing it to Zhao Jun's gun. The second time, it was surrounded by hunting dogs.
Zhang Yuanmin's marksmanship was incomparable to Zhao Youcai's. According to the old saying, a connoisseur will know if something is wrong as soon as he makes a move. Zhao Jun knew that if Zhang Yuanmin was to hunt a wild boar, he would not be able to hit a black and blind man alone, let alone a lynx.
It is also troublesome to surround the dog. When the little bear and the black tiger are "isolated", the big fat dog is slower to gather the dog gang, and the lynx will definitely kill it as soon as it is alone.
But if the dog gang comes out together, it will easily tear the lynx apart. Don't forget that these dogs just tore up a Siberian leopard a while ago, and lynxes are not as strong as leopards. Once these dogs are torn apart, the skin will be broken into pieces and they won’t be sold for any money. Isn’t that all the hard work in vain?
At this time, Zhao Youcai took the small basket containing tobacco leaves from the side, looked at Zhao Jun deeply, and then picked up the calendar paper torn into small strips and prepared to roll cigarettes.
Zhao Jun knew what Zhao Youcai meant, but he didn't want to take Zhao Youcai there. Zhao Youcai didn't obey orders when he was released into the mountains. If we want to go together to fight the siege, wouldn't we have to be more aggressive?
Zhao Youcai rolled up a cigarette in a few seconds, then pushed the basket of tobacco leaves towards Zhang Yuanmin and said, "You want one too."
"I'll wait for a while." After Zhang Yuanmin said to Zhao Youcai, he turned to Zhao Jun, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Brother, do I have a plan to fight this lynx?"
When Zhao Jun heard this, he glanced at Zhao Youcai, then turned his head and asked Zhang Yuanmin cooperatively: "What's the plan?"
Hearing that Zhao Jun was so cooperative with him, Zhang Yuanmin was so excited that he couldn't stand it. He hurriedly said to Zhao Jun: "We won't take the dog, so we two brothers will go. After all, don't we have sheep at home? When we go, let's take one Sheep, let the sheep hook that tiger cub!"
After Zhang Yuanmin said these words, he felt something was wrong. He looked aside and saw Zhao Youcai holding a cigarette in his hand and looking straight at him.
Zhao Jun, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at Zhang Yuanmin and then at Zhao Youcai, then lowered his head and tried not to laugh out loud.
Zhang Yuanmin and Zhao Youcai looked at each other, but when they met Zhao Youcai's sharp gaze, Zhang Yuanmin quickly looked away. When he glanced to the side, he saw the matches placed on the kang table.
Zhang Yuanmin hurriedly picked up the matchbox, struck a match, held it in front of Zhao Youcai with his hand, and said, "Uncle, come here."
Zhao Youcai raised his hand, put the twisted cigarette butt into his mouth, lit the cigarette under Zhang Yuanmin's service, then stared at Zhang Yuanmin and asked, "Is this a good move? Did you think of it yourself?"
At this time, Zhao Youcai had an idea in his mind. If his little brat dared to tell his father's embarrassing story, he would definitely let him know what domestic violence was tonight.
When asked by Zhao Youcai, Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said: "Uncle, I really didn't think of this trick. My father taught me this. He has done this before."
"Your dad?" Zhao Youcai frowned and said, "Open your head?"
Big head is Zhang Yuanmin’s father’s nickname. But although Mr. Zhang is not tall, he is quite coordinated from top to bottom, and his head is not very big.
As for people calling him Big Head, it is an abstract name in the Zhao Jun family.
For example, if a person spends three yuan to buy something that costs two yuan, others will say to him, "Do you have a big head?"
This is where the big head comes from. But Zhang Yuanmin’s father has always told his family that the villagers called him that because they meant he was smart.
Zhao Youcai and Zhang Yuanmin's fathers were the same generation, so Zhao Youcai called him this nickname. Zhang Yuanmin was not angry, he just responded with a smile and said, "Yeah, my dad used to travel all over the country and learned it from others."
At this time, Zhao Jun smiled and asked Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, have I, Uncle Zhang, ever hit a tiger cub with this move?"
When he said this, Zhao Jun glanced at Zhao Youcai and saw Zhao Youcai take a long drag on his cigarette.
"It's a hit." Zhang Yuanmin laughed and said, "It was shot right there!"
"Ah!" Zhao Jun pretended to be surprised: "So powerful? What about the sheep? Is the sheep not dead?"
"Tsk!" After hearing Zhao Jun ask about the sheep, Zhang Yuanmin smacked his lips and said, "The sheep is dead, is it the sheep my father bought?"
The guarantee Zhang Yuanmin mentioned means guaranteeing compensation for losses. After Zhao Jun heard this, he said, "How many sheep can I, Uncle Zhang, hire?"
"Brother, that's what you're asking." Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "If one of you dies, I'll keep the other one. After my dad sold the leather, he would directly give the money to others. The scalp was not worth much that year. After wrapping other people's sheep, there would be nothing left." It’s less than 20,000 yuan.”
Zhang Yuanmin's father was hunting lynx in the early days, and he still used the first version of RMB. At that time, the maximum denomination was 50,000. Zhang Yuanmin said there was less than 20,000 yuan left. If we put it aside for now, it would be less than two yuan.
"Ah!" Zhao Junzuo suddenly realized and said: "Only one sheep will die?"
"Oh my god, brother, what are you talking about?" Zhang Yuanmin said with a bitter smile: "If one more of them dies, my father will have to pay for it."
"Hehehehe..." Zhao Jun laughed out loud when he heard this, so much so that Zhao Youcai poked him out with his eyes.
Zhang Yuanmin didn't know what the story was between the two men, so he just asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, do you think my father's clever plan will work?"
"It must be done!" Zhao Jun raised his hand, pushed his palm in front of Zhang Yuanmin, and said: "Tomorrow we two brothers will do this. If I, Uncle Zhang, can do it, so can we. If you beat a tiger cub, a piece of skin can do it How many sheep will be exchanged?”
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Meilan came in from the outhouse, carrying a few tomatoes on a plate.
"Come on." Wang Meilan put the plate on the table and said to the three of them, "Eat the persimmons. If you don't want to eat them, it's over."
With that said, Wang Meilan picked up one by herself, then sat down next to Zhao Jun, took a bite of the top of the persimmon, and then sucked the juice inside.
At this time, Zhao Jun turned around and called Wang Meilan: "Mom."
"Well." Wang Meilan put down the persimmon, turned around and asked Zhao Jun with wide eyes: "Son, what's wrong?"
Zhao Jun said: "Tomorrow my elder brother and I will go up the mountain, and you can lead us a sheep."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan was startled and asked quickly: "Son, why are you leading sheep when you go up the mountain?"
Zhao Jun said with a smile: "My eldest brother and my sister-in-law went to pick mushrooms today. When we saw a tiger cub, it was difficult to fight, so my eldest brother Zhang came up with a trick to make the sheep fish for a while."
"Use the sheep to...fish?" Wang Meilan heard this and immediately looked up at Zhao Youcai. However, seeing Zhao Youcai staring at her, Wang Meilan blinked and looked at Zhao Jun again.
Wang Meilan was also afraid that Zhao Jun had said something to Zhang Yuanmin. If that happened, her son would definitely not be able to escape a beating.
But Zhao Jun said: "This is a trick that my eldest brother and his father, my old uncle Zhang, came up with."
"Ah!" When Wang Meilan heard this, she immediately felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face. She glanced at Zhao Youcai first, and then asked Zhang Yuanmin, "Did your dad hit the tiger cub with this trick?"
Zhang Yuanmin nodded: "It's on."
After hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Wang Meilan nodded, then looked at Zhao Youcai, only to see Zhao Youcai turned his face away.
Wang Meilan also saved face for her old man, and only said to Zhao Jun: "Son, then you can lead a sheep away tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Wang Meilan added another sentence: "Hold the little one."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan with a smile: "Oh my god, if you want to catch a tiger cub, I guess this sheep will also have to get involved."
"Oh!" Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "What are you afraid of? How many sheep can you buy if you kill a tiger cub?"
After saying that, Wang Meilan smiled at Zhang Yuanmin who was opposite him: "Are you Yuanmin?"
Zhang Yuanmin smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes."
After the siege was decided, Zhang Yuanmin ate a persimmon and left. Zhao Jun sent Zhang Yuanmin out of the yard. After Zhang Yuanmin left, Zhao Jun was about to go home when he saw Li Ruhai walking past on the side path with a raised eyebrow.
Thinking of what happened to this boy the night before, Zhao Jun stood there and looked at him.
When Li Ruhai saw Zhao Jun, he hurriedly ran towards Zhao Jun. When he came to Zhao Jun, he said: "Brother, I'm looking for you!"
Hearing what he said, Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I'm looking for you too."
"Ah?" Li Ruhai asked curiously: "What are you looking for me for?"
Zhao Jun said: "Didn't you see that thing at night when you were on duty?"
"Ah!" Li Ruhai nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Jun, I'm still thinking about it. I'm still on duty tomorrow and I have to watch that again at night. What should I do?"
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Ruhai, let me tell you something. I'll tell you. Listen."
"Yeah." Li Ruhai responded: "Brother, you tell me."
Zhao Jun said: "On the night you were on duty, Zhang Laifa didn't come back. Can Zhang Zhanhe look for him in the village?"
"Zhang Laifa was lost?" Li Ruhai was quite happy at first, but after a second thought, he said, "That's not right, brother, that guy went to work the next day, and we took the commuter bus back together in the evening."
"Oh!" Zhao Jun looked at Li Ruhai, shook his head and smiled: "Ruhai, I've been thinking that you are a very smart kid, why don't you understand what I mean?"
"Ah?" Li Ruhai was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Zhao Jun looked around, and then said to Li Ruhai: "How can there be such a thing these days? Either you are blind, or someone is trying to ruin you!"
"Ah!" Li Ruhai's eyes widened when he heard this. The child realized it!
Zhao Jun patted Li Ruhai on the shoulder and said: "That boy's father just died, and his brother is still lying in the hospital down the mountain, and his mother is not at home. Your brother and I went to beat him, but that's not what happened..."
"Brother!" Before Zhao Jun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Ruhai. He waved his hand and said, "Stop talking. You and my brother don't need anyone. I will take care of him myself."
"Is it possible?" Zhao Jun asked.
At this time, Li Ruhai stood there, his face facing the fence and tent, his eyes blurred and he didn't know what he was thinking. He ignored Zhao Jun's questions, but he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, as if he thought of something good.
Looking at his appearance, Zhao Jun ignored him. In fact, Zhang Laifa was so noisy that he could only scare people who were kept in the dark. Once Li Ruhai was on guard, he would not suffer any loss.
But as soon as Zhao Jun turned around and walked into the yard, Li Ruhai caught up with him. He called Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, I have something to do with you!"
Zhao Jun turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Ruhai came to Zhao Jun's side and said, "I went to school today."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun asked doubtfully, "What did you do in school?"
"Look at the teacher, look at the classmates." Li Ruhai said: "Our teacher Xiao is very good to me. I dropped out of school and she came to see me at home. I was thinking about how to go see her and talk to her face to face. "
"That's right." Zhao Jun said: "Tell the teacher, if you don't go up, you will be dropped. Anyway, you will get an average grade in the class if you go to school. You don't want to study anymore. Once your class's final grade comes up, your teacher may be able to judge it." Excellent or something.”
Li Ruhai: "..."
When Zhao Jun saw that Li Ruhai was silent, he immediately said, "Are you okay? You're okay, I'm going back to the house."
"Yes! Brother!" Li Ruhai, who came to his senses, hurriedly grabbed Zhao Jun and said, "I have something big to do!"
"A big deal?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "You went to school, what did you hear?"
When they were talking, Zhao Youcai was coming out of the house and preparing to go to the latrine.
At this moment, Li Ruhai said to Zhao Jun: "Our Banqu Xiaoyanzi is our forest farm Qu Dayanzi's old son."
"Ah." Zhao Jun nodded to show that he knew this person, and then asked: "What happened to him?"
Li Ruhai said: "He went to the woods above our school to dig out bird's nests at noon, and when he came back, the tiger cubs pounced on him!"
